Full-time Artist Chapter 1320: Frozen

It was still March.

This morning, Lin Yuan received a call from Jinmu. "Shadow's new animated film is set for promotion, and it's expected to be released at the end of the month, but there are still two songs that haven't been recorded yet. You need to hurry up."

Yes.

Shadow was indeed working on a new animated movie.

This animated film was a new production from Dream Chasing DreamWorks, with Xingmang also participating in the investment. The director's credit read "Shadow".

In truth,

DreamWorks had produced several new animated films.

It's important to know that since its establishment, Dream Chasing DreamWorks, besides providing film sources for the Blue Star Children's Channel, had never ceased its animated film productions.

And the scripts, of course, were all provided by Shadow.

However, Lin Yuan, often swamped with Xianyu and Chu Kuang's responsibilities, had overlooked the animation film's progress. Fortunately, several excellent animated films had been produced over the years.

The upcoming animated film was titled "Frozen"!

That's right, the very "Frozen" that had achieved a worldwide box office miracle!

For the film's voice acting, Lin Yuan directly approached the Fish Dynasty.

Among them, Lin Yuan entrusted the role of Queen Elsa to Jiang Kui.

This was because Jiang Kui was scheduled to release a new album in March, and two songs from "Frozen" were intended for inclusion in that album.

One of these songs was "Let It Go".

Furthermore,

Lin Yuan intended to leverage this movie to boost Shadow's director ranking.

Once Shadow's director achievements were consolidated, they would be merged into Lin Yuan's own stats.

The accomplishments of Xianyu and Shadow in the film domain could propel Lin Yuan's film and television ranking to unprecedented heights.

He had already witnessed the potency of vest merging before.

Do not forget,

Shadow's film and television ranking was also within the top 100 category.

Currently holding the 77th position, this was primarily due to Shadow having only produced one animated film, "WALL-E", previously.

However, if more animated films were produced to secure a sufficiently high ranking, the film and television ranking bonus for Lin Yuan after the merger would undoubtedly be explosive!

With this in mind,

Lin Yuan shared the promotional message for "Frozen".

Immediately,

online,

Netizens erupted with excitement:

"Shadow's new animated film is releasing at the end of the month! I've been eagerly anticipating their new animated works since "WALL-E" concluded!"

"Yeah!"

"It's a must-see!"

"Shadow God is finally releasing their second animated film!"

"I still vividly remember the plot of "WALL-E"!"

"WALL-E was indeed a classic, but the new film holds even more anticipation. According to the promotion, the soundtrack is by Chu Kuang, the old thief (doge)."

"Pfft."

"Chu Kuang's soundtracks are pretty decent."

"There's nothing wrong with that. After all, the old thief is the father of the fish, and the soundtracks for Shadow's films and cartoons seem to always be handled by the father of the fish."

"Lifelong best friends!"

"The promotion also mentioned it's a musical animated film."

"What exactly is a musical animated film?"

"It likely means the integration of music into the plot and dialogue, right?"

"Interesting."

"Father Yu is in charge of the main music. If the music blends well with the plot, the effect will definitely be remarkable."

"Not only is the music performed by Father Yu, but the voice acting is also predominantly done by individuals from the Fish Dynasty. For instance, the theme song appears to be sung by Jiang Kui."

"Enough said, aren't we just going to buy tickets?"

"Buy, buy, buy!"

"Perhaps we might even encounter Fish Dad (doge) at the cinema."

"How so?"

"Fish Dad posted a message to help promote "Frozen", and he also mentioned he'd be watching it with his family and friends."

"In that case, you probably won't get to meet him, as they'll likely book the entire venue."

"Wait, why has Shadow suddenly started making animated films again? Isn't it a move to boost their film and television rankings?"

"Huh?"

"Could it be that Shadow sees Lin Yuan dominating the dual lists and now desires the number one spot on both lists as well?"

"But relying solely on animated films might not be enough for that, right?"

"It's hard to say for sure. Perhaps the human Shadow will pivot and adapt those comics into live-action versions. There's a significant online buzz, with many urging Xingmang to adapt Shadow's comics into live-action TV series or movies."

"Good heavens, can this also be a competition?"

"Normal people aim for a spot on a top list; why are Shadow and Lin Yuan so different from everyone else?"

"The world of prodigies."

In a way, the netizens had stumbled upon the truth.

Lin Yuan's intention was for the shadow to indeed reach the film and television charts. After the movie's promotional materials were released, Lin Yuan immediately began to have Jiang Kui record the songs for the new album. The theme for Xia Fan's album was designated as "Youth." Zhao Ying-chrome's album centered around the theme of "If." As for Jiang Kui's album, the chosen theme turned out to be "I." This was because many of the songs within the album were expressions of Jiang Kui's own feelings. For instance, the title track of the album was "Invisible Wings." While Zhang Shaohan's rendition of this song was incredibly famous, its inspirational core remained potent, capable of motivating countless individuals. Lin Yuan presented this song to Jiang Kui, who instantly fell in love with it. The second song selected was titled "Legend." This piece was a composition by Li Jian, a musician often praised as a "musical poet." Faye Wong's performance of this song during the Spring Festival Gala had once taken the entire music scene by storm. The third song was named "Red Bean," also a work by Faye Wong and considered one of her masterpieces. The fourth song was titled "Laughing and Forgetting Books." This was a Qi language song, with Lin Yuan arranging it specifically for Jiang Kui, and it too was a Faye Wong original. Fifth on the album was "Love Letter to Myself," a song that perfectly aligned with the album's theme of "I." This track, along with "Laughing and Forgetting Books," represented a deliberate pairing of songs; the former was sung in Qi language, while the latter was a Mandarin rendition. The fifth track was presented as "letitgo." The sixth track was titled "doyouwanttobuildasnowman." Both of these songs hailed from the popular movie "Frozen." The album featured the English versions, continuing the established tradition of including English songs. The seventh song was named "Snow Flowers." It also followed a customary practice of including songs in Chu language for the album. Thus, Lin Yuan selected "Snow Flowers," one of Nakajima Mika's most acclaimed works, celebrated for its exquisite melody and classic vocal delivery, which had been covered by numerous prominent singers. The eighth song was entitled "Coral Sea." Continuing the established album tradition, this song by Jay Chou required a duet between Lin Yuan and Jiang Kui. The ninth song was titled "Painting Heart." This song by Zhang Liangying, notable for its signature dolphin sound at the conclusion, was deemed exceptionally suitable for Jiang Kui's vocal abilities. The tenth and final song was named "I Do." This album featured a significant number of Faye Wong's songs, including this concluding track. It seemed that due to Jiang Kui's voice possessing a distinctly ethereal quality, Lin Yuan subconsciously gravitated towards selecting songs that complemented this characteristic. As it turned out, Lin Yuan's choices proved to be excellent. Jiang Kui interpreted these songs with her unique style, offering a distinct feel from Faye Wong's original renditions, resulting in a remarkably pleasant listening experience overall. Zhao Yingchrome was also present during the recording session for "letitgo." In Zhao Yingchrome's own words, the month of March was proving to be another period of divine musical creation. However, to allow the audience to fully appreciate the charm of the two English songs included in the album, its release was scheduled for the end of the month, coinciding perfectly with the broadcast of the animated movie "Frozen." This strategy involved a period of waiting. Finally, the end of the month arrived. On this particular day, Across the major cinemas of Blue Star, A multitude of spectators, drawn by the allure of "Frozen," filled the auditoriums. Simultaneously, A specific cinema had been booked out. Lin Yuan, accompanied by his family, Yu Chao, and his childhood friend Jian, occupied seats within the cinema, engaging in lively conversation while anticipating the commencement of the animated film. Amidst their conversation, Jiang Kui suddenly addressed Sun Yaohuo, inquiring, "I heard that you organized all the company employees to come to the cinema to watch this movie today?" All eyes turned towards Sun Yaohuo. Everyone was well aware of how highly Sun Yaohuo regarded his mentor, but it was perplexing why he would be so enthusiastically supporting "Frozen," a movie clearly associated with the Shadow. Sun Yaohuo's voice boomed: "Because I have always held Teacher Shadow in the highest regard. This feeling is akin to how I respect my junior. As long as it's a work from Teacher Shadow, I am absolutely willing to offer my full support!" Lin Yuan's family members exchanged peculiar glances. Lin Yuan also regarded Sun Yaohuo, harboring a vague suspicion that perhaps this senior was as perceptive as the chairman, yet choosing to feign ignorance deliberately. ps: Note for readers who may not have seen previous episodes and are thus unfamiliar with the context: Sun Yaohuo had already deduced the truth about Sanji Friends.
