Perfect Superstar

Chapter 226 – The Song Lu Chen Sang To Chen Fei’er

Lu Chen never thought that one day he would be able to hold this goddess loved by millions of people in his arms.

Chen Fei’er has a good figure. She has long legs and thin waist. She was as beautiful as jade and as fragrant as orchid.

He was hugging her, as if he was hugging the whole world.

It brought him great satisfaction.

Chen Fei’er didn’t resist Lu Chen’s bold and daring action. Instead, she turned her face and leaned against the latter’s broad chest. A sweet smile appeared on the corners of her lips, and her hands gently hugged his waist.

The small work room was enveloped by a touch of charming atmosphere.

Everything was clear, words were unnecessary.

After a long time, Chen Fei’er raised her head suddenly, stared at Lu Chen and said, “Have you hugged enough?”

Lu Chen smiled and suddenly lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead.

Chen Fei’er’s pretty face turned red, and her delicate fingers twisted hard at Lu Chen’s waist.1

Lu Chen knew that this was the limit she could bear and reluctantly let go.

Chen Fei’er wasn’t a teenage girl after all and soon recovered from her shyness.

She fixed her disheveled hair and asked, “When can you finish writing your screenplay?”

Lu Chen took her by the hand, sat down again, and said, “About two weeks.”

“Autumn in My Heart” has a total of 20 episodes, which, based on an average of 15,000 words per episode, was 300,000 words, which was equivalent to a .

Subtracting what has been finished before, the average speed of 20,000+ a day was undoubtedly very amazing. However, as Lu Chen has the memory of the dream world, it wasn’t very difficult for him to write it. It was just that the plot needed to be modified and adjusted appropriately.

After all, this TV series was a Korean drama.

Chen Fei’er was surprised: “That is too fast. Oh right, why is it that all the names of the characters in this TV series tend to be Korean ones?”[2]

Although she was a Heavenly Queen in the music world, she was no stranger to the film and television industry. She knew that writing a screenplay was not a simple matter.

Lu Chen actually wrote a TV series in just a little more than ten days. Moreover, it was still an original content!

Chen Fei’er was certainly surprised.

And then there were also the leading actors and actresses and supporting roles in the TV series. Yoon Joon-suh, Yoon Eun-suh, Han Tae-seok, Yoon Shin-ae and so on all have Korean style names.

Lu Chen smiled and said, “It’s very simple. If this show comes out, I want this TV series to backflow into the Korean film market.”2

Backflow into the Korean film market!

Chen Fei’er’s expression suddenly became a little strange – She didn’t expect Lu Chen’s ambition to be so big!

Domestic fashion culture, pop music and TV series have been greatly influenced by South Korea. For example, the current popular youth idol dramas about rich and powerful mary sues, young masters, and pretty girls were the influence of Korean dramas.

In recent years, many popular Korean dramas have been introduced to China, all of which have achieved high ratings.

The so-called backflow was that domestic TV series entering to Japan and South Korea to compete for the film market.

The TV series that have been successful in backflowing to Japan and South Korea were basically well-produced and heavily invested historical dramas, as well as genre such as Xianxia.

There were a lot of youth idol dramas produced in China, and there were precedents of backflowing to Japan and South Korea. However, all of them were not well-received.

The reason was simple. These types of shows were leftover by others, how could there be a market for them?

So, from Chen Fei’er’s point of view, Lu Chen was really indulging in fantasy3, not to mention that he wrote a rare melodrama type of drama.

Nowadays, the popular youth idol dramas were all comedy with happy ending.

Chen Fei’er liked this story very much. She has the accumulation and precipitation of life. So, she understood the power of tragedy.

But the mainstream audience of youth idol dramas was the young people with “glass heart”!4

If one saw the protagonist being abused a little bit, one might not be able to bear it. Just like in popular online s, not many authors wrote about tragedies – guys who wrote about it were poor enough to beg for food.

Those who like melodramas were mostly elderly housewives, watching urban emotional dramas such as midlife crisis, discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, conflicts between urban and rural areas, and so on.

As a youth idol drama, “Autumn In My Heart” was really melodramatic!

Chen Fei’er thought the story was very good, and she was willing to support Lu Chen to shoot it and to be the female lead herself.

But she didn’t have much expectation for ratings – Just getting it broadcast it on TV was already a success.

Of course, Chen Fei’er didn’t want to deal a blow to Lu Chen’s enthusiasm and confidence. She knew the grievances suffered by Lu Chen in the last audition. So, what did it matter even if he was willful now?

So, the Heavenly Queen said seriously: “I know the president of South Korea’s KGS TV station. I can help.”

Chen Fei’er has participated multiple China-South Korea,and China-Japan song festivals. KGS, the third largest TV station in South Korea, was the organizer of the China-South Korea song festival. She also has a lot of fans and popularity in South Korea.

Lu Chen said with a smile, “I’ll think about it. I want to shoot the show first and develop myself.”

“In fact, I didn’t have much confidence, but now that you want to be the female lead, I think that would add one or two national ratings, right?”

Chen Fei’er was immediately amused by him and couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him: “Poor mouth!”5

A national rating of one or two points meant that the TV series was a hit. This wasn’t the 80’s and 90’s.

She said, “I’ll help you contact a powerful film and television company first. Since it’s a weekend TV series, you don’t have to rush the screenplay. You can write it while shooting.”

The biggest feature of the weekend TV series was its high degree of flexibility in production. After the first few episodes have been filmed and broadcasted, the subsequent stories and characters could be modified according to the audience’s response.

Now, domestic weekend TV series were very mature. Those experienced film and television companies have a complete production process, and with high-tech post- synthesis editing, the cost of the film, excluding the actor’s renumeration, has greatly reduced compared to before.

The real challenge was getting the finished product into the market – there must be a buyer first.

There were so many film and television companies in Beijing, and it was unknown how many practitioners who were eating this bowl of rice6. However, the resources of the major satellite stations were very limited, and there was enough connections. So, it was undoubtedly a fool’s dream to want to broadcast on popular channels.

Even when it came to web drama, big websites with high click-through rates were also very picky.

Of course, with Chen Fei’er as the female, “Autumn In My Heart”, even if it was a melodrama, it would never fall to the point where no one was interested, but a national viewership rating of one or two points was really unthinkable!.

Lu Chen held her hand and nodded. Although he didn’t say thank you, the look in his eyes was enough to explain everything.

Without Chen Fei’er’s help, it would have been difficult for him to find a reliable partner. After all, he was now only a singer rather than a well-known actor, and he didn’t have his own connection in the film and television industry.

If one didn’t understand the rules and trudged in rashly, one could be easily taken to the ditch, and end up with a dirty face.

Lu Chen wasn’t afraid of difficulties, but he would not refuse Chen Fei’er’s help.

Because he has the ability to repay the favor.

“Autumn In My Heart” was the beginning of his entry into the film and television industry.

Being gazed at by Lu Chen’s affectionate eyes, Chen Fei’er suddenly felt shy. She said softly, “Lu Chen, please sing me a song. After listening, I will go back.”

Lu Chen nodded: “Okay.”

Chen Fei’er’s eyes were shining: “I want a new song that I have never heard before.”

She has known Lu Chen for a long time, but she has always felt that Lu Chen was very mysterious.

Lu Chen was like a huge treasure house where no one knew how much wealth was buried inside.

It was this sense of mystery that attracted her. She couldn’t help but want to get close and explore the secret!

Lu Chen nodded: “Okay!”

He grabbed the guitar that lay nearby and held it in his arms.

Although he just had a full meal and couldn’t demonstrate his skill level very well, this song didn’t require too high skill.

“The name of this song is...”

He looked at Chen Fei’er and said, “The Song Lu Chen Sang To Chen Fei’er.”

The Song Lu Chen Sang To Chen Fei’er?

Chen Fei’er couldn’t help but smile. She leaned over and supported herself on the table with her elbows, her right hand holding her cheeks, and her long beautiful black hair fell, which inadvertently sprung out various kinds of soul-stirring feelings!

Lu Chen was almost dumbstruck.

Fortunately, Lu Chen had some resistance to this elder sister. He coughed and played the prelude.

“I want to take you everywhere.

Travel all over the world, admiring it all.

Without troubles, without sadness.

Being free and cheerful.

Throw away your sorrows and your grief.

Together we’ll set off on a journey.

Though there is no extravagant house or glamorous clothes.

But my heart is full of hope.

Oh, let us fly, to a faraway place and have a look.

The world is really not so bleak.

Oh, let us fly, to a faraway place and have a look.

The world is still bright!

......”

In Lu Chen’s memory, the name of this song was “Zhang San’s Song”.

It has been covered by many famous singers and performed in different styles, but the ordinary and simple tunes that touch the deepest warmth of people’s hearts remained the same.

Lu Chen sang this song to Chen Fei’er, singing the fiery emotion in his heart.

Simple accompaniment. Soothing melody, no gorgeous performance, no sedulous skills, clean and pure!

Chen Fei’er was mesmerized.

Although she has not experienced the vicissitudes of life, she has seen the prosperity and hustle and bustle of the world, but she never knew that there was such a pure and warm voice in this complicated world.

This was a kind of voice that made people stop in their tracks and yearn to travel freely like dandelions.

Perhaps after many years, she may not have joined hands with Lu Chen at that time, but she would never forget hearing a song like this here in the middle of the night!

The name of the song is: The Song Lu Chen Sang To Chen Fei’er.

“......

I want to take you everywhere.

Travel all over the world, admiring it all.

Without troubles, without sadness.

Being free and cheerful.

Throw away your sorrows and your grief.

Together we’ll set off on a journey.

Though there is no extravagant house or glamorous clothes.

But my heart is full of hope.

Oh, let us fly, to a faraway place and have a look.

The world is really not so bleak.

Oh, let us fly, to a faraway place and have a look.

The world is still bright!
