Shen Fu's new album's first single "Halo" was a hit, and the number of downloads and radio stations soared.

At the same time, "Halo" has soared all the way to the US Billboard charts, ranking in the top 10 of the Hot100 for two consecutive weeks, No. 7 in the first week and No. 5 in the second week, and it seems that there is no hope of reaching the top 3.

The MV for the second single "Stronger" has been recorded, and the promotional plan has been finalized, just waiting for "Halo" to take over when the momentum declines.

Here in New York, Shen Fu invited Kim Yeon-su to participate in "Set-Fire-to-the-Rain", which is three singles.

"Set-Fire-to-the-Rain" is one of the songs that Shen Fu himself and the music team are more optimistic about, and putting "Set" in the three-single position is to use it to carry on the past, maintain the heat, and hit the top 3 on the billboard.

Shen Fu and her music team pinned their hopes on "Set-Fire-to-the-Rain" to hit the top 3.

But the truth is that everyone underestimated "Halo", which cleverly integrates oriental instruments in its arrangement.

In the third week of the song's release, "Halo" rushed to No. 2 on Billboard.

Absolutely breaking news!

The top of the billboard list is not just based on the quality of the music, there are all kinds of tangible and intangible unspoken rules behind it, such as Asians have never won the billboard championship.

As a result, "Halo", the second place on the Billboard chart, is the best result achieved by Asians, and Shen Fu became the first musician in Asia to break into the top three on the Billboard, completely confirming Shen Fu's title of "After the First Day in Asia".

As soon as the rankings came out, North America was a sensation, Europe was a sensation, and Asia was also a sensation.

In Asia, the Chinese media responded most enthusiastically, followed by South Korea.

At this time, Kim Yeon-su received an invitation from Shen Fu and was filming the MV of Shen Fu's new song in the United States.

Everyone guessed that Kim Yeon-su must be the follow-up hit song of Shen Fu's new album, and from the perspective of time, it is unlikely that the second single will be the third or fourth single. In any case, with the results of "Halo" in the lead, fans in both countries are full of expectations for Shen Fu's new song MV.

Kim Yeon-su couldn't have imagined that before the MV started filming, all the fame she lost after two years away from the screen would come back.

This qiē came so suddenly, so suddenly that Kim Yeon-su couldn't believe it until she woke up from her dream in the morning and realized that she was now in New York, and she was convinced that it was all real.

The agency called and said that there were three TV drama scripts in South Korea that were quite suitable for Kim Yeon-so, and told her to return to China after the MV shooting, so that she could meet with the director and crew to determine whether to participate.

Before receiving Shen Fu's invitation, Jin Yansu wanted to ask for a role but couldn't get it, but now, there are three books, and it seems that she still keeps the role for her to go back and choose.

After getting out of bed and opening the window, taking a deep breath, and looking out the window at Manhattan across the Hudson River, Kim Yeonsu thought: This is the legendary good luck!

Good luck indeed!

………………

At the same time, Shen Fu, who lives upstairs in Kim Yeon-so, was talking on the phone with the "good luck maker" Bian Xuedao.

The call was made to Shen Fu by Bian Xuedao, celebrating Shen Fu's solid step towards his goal.

After chatting for a few words, Bian Xuedao asked: ""Halo" is so good, do the MVs of the second and third singles need to be upgraded?"

Shen Fu asked, "Upgrade?"

Bian Xuedao said: "In terms of planning, creativity, expression, and MV casting. ”

Shen Fu said: "The MV for the second single "Stronger" has been recorded, and the Kim Yeon-su you recommended has also arrived, and she has been discussing with us to plan the third single in the past few days. ”

Bian Xuedao said: "Only she is not enough, I think the MV of "Set-Fire-to-the-Rain" will continue to add people. ”

"Add someone?" Shen Fu asked, "Who else do you add?"

"Kim Yeon-su is Korean, and she wants to arouse the interest of Asian fans and find another star in China and Japan to participate in the MV. ”

Shen Fu said: "The time is a bit tight, and the cost of making zuò is at least several times higher. ”

Bian Xuedao said: "As much as possible, the cost is not a problem, I have a hunch, the goal we set, success or failure in these two years." ”

Success or failure is within two years!

It's not a hunch, it's a reality.

The songs written down by Bian Xuedao are all given to Shen Fu, whether Shen Fu can successfully impact the Grammys and harvest an achievement that can be glorified for life, all in this fight. After this album, if you want to make an album of this quality, you need financial resources and luck, so it will be uncontrollable.

A day later, Shen Futong sent Bian Xuedao several versions of Set-Fire-to-the-Rain by email. After several comparisons, Bian Xuedao determined the second plot plan.

In the second plot planning, the two actors originally scheduled by Shen Fu's team were Takeshi Kaneshiro and Hideaki Takizawa. Bian Xuedao thought about it again and again, and changed Takeshi Kaneshiro to Gu Tianle, and Hideaki Takizawa to Yutaka Takenouchi. The reason for the replacement he replied in the email was that Takeshi Kaneshiro was Japanese, which went against the original intention of the stars of China, Japan and South Korea to join and star in the MV. And Hideaki Takizawa is not a good match for the MV plot with his personal temperament.

Louis Koo - Yutaka Takeno - Kim Yeon-su - has made a big deal to gather the first-line stars of China, Japan and South Korea in one MV, once it is announced, it will definitely attract attention.

Seeing Bian Xuedao's reply, Shen Fu secretly smiled bitterly.

This MV lineup is good, but there are also many difficulties.

First, such a cast, if you don't shoot well, it is equivalent to a ruin, if you want to shoot well, you have to show the momentum to make a movie, and the director is very demanding.

Second, Yutaka Takeno and Louis Koo are both first-line stars, and the schedule needs to be touched and the remuneration needs to be discussed.

But in Bian Xuedao's view, except for the actor's schedule is a small problem, everything else is not a problem.

As the old saying goes, "money can make ghosts grind", as long as you are willing to spend money, you can shoot a four- or five-minute MV as a streamlined and gorgeous version of a movie trailer, and there is no technical difficulty. In the same way, as long as you are willing to spend money, there is no star who does not move.

Besides, the first single of Shen Fu's new album recently entered the top three on the Billboard and won the best results of Asian musicians.

And the schedule......

Making a MV is not a movie, you don't have to memorize lines, you just need to put in expressions. Therefore, as long as the script is set, it will be one or two days as fast as it is, and three or five days as slow as possible, counting the time on the road, it will be done in a week at the longest.

No matter how big your wrist is, can't you take a week?

Even if the schedule is a little conflicting, can't you spare a week for money?

Shen Fu obeyed the construction of the Tao unconditionally.

Because of the temporary addition of two big-name actors, the filming cycle was extended.

Shen Fu explained the situation to Kim Yansu, expressed her apologies, and told her that if she was busy with work in China, she could go back to South Korea first, and then come to the United States to shoot the MV when the actor had a definite reply, and the round-trip expenses would be borne by Shen Fu.

Kim Yeon-so smiled and said that it doesn't matter, she is not busy, and she can take this opportunity to visit New York again and relax.

Jin Yansu thought that she would be idle in the United States for a long time, but five days later, the agents of Yutaka Takeno and Louis Koo sent replies one after another, saying that the two accepted the invitation and agreed to join Shen Fu's new song MV. The most interesting thing is that Yutaka Takeno said that he was a fan of Shen Fu, and hoped that when the album was sold, Shen Fu would give him an autographed album, which he would collect.

As Bian Xuedao expected, the MV was not filmed first.

Not your average fire!

Many media people lamented that the planning team behind Shen Fu is too strong.

Taking advantage of the strong ranking of the first single "Halo", the first-line stars of the three Asian countries were invited to join the three singles MV, which not only maintained the popularity of "Halo", but also created momentum for the subsequent second and third singles.

And in South Korea, many actresses envy Kim Yeon-su so that their eyes are red with envy.

In the eyes of some Korean actresses, this time Kim Yeon-su is equivalent to borrowing the light of Shen Fu, Takeno Neifeng, and Gu Tianle. really responded to the idea of some people at the beginning, Kim Yeon-so's MV was filmed, and she earned more eyeballs than others making a movie.

As for why he is red-eyed with envy......

Because South Korea has a small population and a small market, the competition between artists is extremely fierce. And not only South Korea, in any country in the world, there are a number of large-scale zuò in a certain period, there are a number of high-quality advertising resources, and there are also a number of first-line stars, in other words, the bowl is so big, there is so much porridge, one more person is among the first line, there is one more spoon to drink porridge, Kim Yeon-su is back, and she is fortunate to join the much-anticipated "Diva" new song MV, after she becomes popular, she will inevitably squeeze some people down, or let some people not have enough to eat.

Everyone is not stupid, after a little analysis, you can imagine that Shen Fu has an excellent first single, and now he is gathering Asian big-name stars to create MVs regardless of the cost, he must be particularly confident in the song, and he is aiming for the top of the Billboard championship list.

Although the odds are very small, once Shen Fu really wins the Billboard Week championship and becomes the first Asian to win this award, this song will definitely go down in history. In that case, for everyone who participates in the MV, no matter how brilliant his acting career is, this is also a strong stroke.

Kim Yeon-su is so lucky, can she not blush?

In China, Japan and South Korea, all the media mentioned the MV that Shen Fu had not yet filmed, and they uniformly called it a "super MV". Because even if you don't win the Billboard Week championship in the end, it is the first time that you can get together the MV of the first-line stars of China, Japan and South Korea.

End of July, Hawaii.

It was just after noon, and it rained in the sky.

The "Set-Fire-to-the-Rain" film crew set off from the hotel and went out to shoot.

The shooting was very smooth.

The focus of the entire MV is on the heroine Kim Yeon-so, and the themes of heartbreak, sadness, anger, and forgiveness in the song need to be expressed by her.

As for the two male protagonists, it's okay to put on the most handsome side.

Truth be told, Kim Yeon-so's appearance is fantastic.

She is a woman with an intellectual and cold temperament, and has just experienced a two-year career trough, so standing in the heavy rain under the Hawaiian sky, this Scorpio Korean woman perfectly interprets what it means to be desperate in introverted, angry in the vastness, and resolute in calm.

The three actors worked hard, stopping in the rain, running in the rain, gazing in the rain, and hugging in the rain......

Almost all over again.

At the end of the shooting, Shen Fu improvised and asked the director to add a clip of her singing in the rain.

As a result, Shen Fu also became a chicken in soup, but the effect in the lens is surprisingly good, with this paragraph, people feel that the singer and the heroine are one.

At the end of filming, Shen Fu, who was drenched, hugged and thanked the three actors who were also soaking wet.

When we got back to the hotel, it was raining and the sky was clear.

The director in charge of the MV told Shen Fu: "Great songs, great stories, great scenes, great actors...... This set of people, expand the story, and remake a movie should sell well. ”
