Chapter 145 Discussing Album Ideas

In the evening, Yan Ran and Du Xiao came back from the film festival. As soon as they entered the door, Yan Ran raised the charcoal-grilled yogurt in her hand and said, "I'm back. I heard that you made Sichuan cuisine? I bought yogurt to relieve the spiciness."

Xu Rui held up his mobile phone to film them: "Relieve the spiciness, it's not necessary."

Yan Ran asked in confusion: "Ah? Isn't it Sichuan cuisine? What did you make?"

Xu Rui said seriously: "Boiled cabbage."

"..."

"..."

Taking a picture of Yan Ran and Du Xiao's dull expressions, Xu Rui muttered with satisfaction: "This is the effect, one I can edit it and upload it later."

"You actually used me as material!" Yan Ran put down the yogurt and ran over angrily, "We came back hungry, and you let me eat boiled cabbage?"

Xu Rui pretended to be surprised: "You actually look down on boiled cabbage, which is a state banquet delicacy. It looks simple and unpretentious, but it is extremely challenging to make soup. The so-called boiled water is the purest chicken soup!"

Yan Ran immediately asked: "Chicken soup is made from chicken, right?"

"..."Xu Rui was speechless for a moment. How could his girlfriend's IQ drop by more than 100 after going to a film festival?

Yan Ran didn't need his answer and immediately said, "Give me the chicken!"

For a moment, Xu Rui almost misunderstood, but seeing that the two were really hungry, he didn't continue to tease Yan Ran: "Just kidding, how can you only make one dish? It's all in the pot. I'll go and serve it to you."

Xu Rui actually spent a day making a few common dishes such as fish-flavored pork shreds, Kung Pao chicken, and husband and wife lung slices. Although he tried to make boiled cabbage, it was a pity that it was beyond his ability. It was edible, but it was basically cabbage stewed in chicken soup, which had nothing to do with the state banquet.

"How is it?" Xu Rui sat next to Yan Ran.

"Very good, Luo Youlin and I took turns to cook dinner when we recorded the show before, so we didn't have a chance to show you." Yan Ran ate happily, and after praising him, he was a little curious, "What did you do today? How are you thinking about the album?"

Xu Rui nodded: "I have some ideas, can you give me some advice?"

"Okay." After Yan Ran finished speaking, she saw Xu Rui staring at the chicken cubes on her chopsticks and handed it over with a smile, "Ah..."

Xu Rui opened his mouth and ate it without hesitation.

Du Xiao, who was sitting across the table, wanted to say, are you two also human beings? But she endured it because the food was quite tasty.

After hearing Xu Rui's thoughts on the album, Yan Ran was a little entangled: "Both ideas are good, let me think about it..."

"No hurry, think about it slowly." Xu Rui didn't urge him and ate something himself.

Yan Ran thought for a while and said seriously: "Well... I'm just giving my personal opinion. The first production idea will write about many forms of love, and the audience should be able to find their own form in a song.

The second one is from meeting, getting to know each other, falling in love, and staying together or leaving each other. If the songs in the first production idea are compared to the stars in the sky, everyone's love is independent and different, then the second production idea is more like the bright moon."

Xu Rui deliberately found fault: "You should know that the moon is not much different from the stars."

Yan Ran said angrily: "Don't argue, what I mean is that the moon presents us more clearly and completely.

Let me put it another way. In the first production idea, each song is like a unit drama, unrelated to each other, while the second production idea is like a TV series, or a movie put together, so I prefer the second production idea, but I suggest you use the first one."

"Ah!" Yan Ran slapped the table, "I know how to say it more clearly."

"You have already said it very clearly..." Xu Rui laughed.

Before he could finish his words, Yan Ran interrupted him domineeringly: "Listen to me! The second idea is like you made a table of Sichuan dishes, which includes a relatively complete Sichuan cuisine, while the first idea is more like picking a more famous dish from each of the eight major cuisines.

In terms of completeness, a whole table of Sichuan dishes is definitely better, and people who like Sichuan cuisine will like it very much, but if you hope that everyone at the table can at least find a favorite dish, then it should be more likely to pick one from each of the eight major cuisines."

Xu Rui thought for a while: "But you paid for a table of dishes, You only found one dish you like, don't you feel cheated? What you said makes sense, but it's hard to make such an analogy with music. "

Yan Ran also calmed down: "That's right."

The two paused and asked Du Xiao, who was eating silently opposite: "What do you choose?"

Du Xiao ate the last bite of the meal. She was used to the fact that the two of them only remembered her behavior after talking for so long. She stood up to wash the dishes and hummed: "Only children make choices. I choose to take them all!"

"..."Xu Rui felt that he was simply being criticized. This was not a suggestion at all. How could he take them all?

After discussing with Yan Ran, they still couldn't make up their minds. Fortunately, there was no need to rush. Xu Rui had dinner and uploaded the short video first.

Xu Rui didn't have many announcements, and Yan Ran, as a director, rarely appeared on TV shows. Now that they can see their daily lives in their short videos, fans are already very satisfied.

After the video was uploaded, many people asked about the movie. Fans who went to the film festival in the past two days expressed unanimous praise for "The Night the Comet Came", which made many people curious and wanted to watch it.

"Reply to the comments?" Xu Rui asked.

Yan Ran nodded: "Well, you reply."

So Xu Rui randomly found a person who asked in the comment area and replied: "We will discuss the online broadcast rights after the film festival ends, and the movie will meet you soon."

As soon as he replied, he was watched by everyone, and the screenshot was also sent to the fan group: "Look, Xu Rui replied personally, saying that it will be available soon."

Someone asked curiously: "If you don't understand, just ask, can it be released online after negotiating the online broadcast rights? I have seen many TV series and movies that have been suppressed for a long time."

The question was quickly answered: "It was suppressed because it did not pass the review. If it was shown at a foreign film festival, it might encounter this problem, but if it was shown at a domestic film festival, it must have passed the review, so it should be able to be released after the online broadcast rights are negotiated."

"Look forward to it!"

"Look forward to it too. ”

Looking at the "expectation" comments everywhere, Xu Rui asked Yan Ran: "Seeing everyone is so enthusiastic, are you nervous?"

Yan Ran nodded: "A little."

Xu Rui was a little surprised: "Really nervous? I see that fans who have been to the film festival have a good response."

Yan Ran explained: "Some of the people who go to this kind of independent film festival are fans who are very tolerant of me, and some are real movie lovers who are very tolerant of low-cost movies, so it is normal that there is no criticism now, but it will be different after it is broadcast on the online platform."

Xu Rui comforted her: "It's okay, if someone criticizes you, I will criticize him."

Yan Ran shook her head: "I'm not afraid of haters, I'm just afraid of disappointing everyone who is looking forward to it."

"You won't!" Xu Rui was full of confidence.

Yan Ran, who was leaning on him, was easily infected and nodded: "Yeah!"
