"Hey, you're looking for Zhuzhu..."

Park Jin looked up at Sim Joo, raised her eyebrows and winked at her, looking like she was going to cause trouble. Sure enough, the next second, Sim Joo heard Park Jin's doubtful voice.

"I didn't see her. She didn't come over. What happened? Did she go downstairs?"

"Hasn't she come yet? Xiaomi said she's been here for almost half an hour. Sorry to bother you, Nuna. I'll go check on her. If Zhuzhu has arrived, thank you Nuna for your hard work..."

"Hahaha, alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let Zhuzhu tell you in person. She's been blushing beside me because she's been holding it in."

Park Jin handed the phone to Shen Jiezhu and walked to the door: "I'm hungry, let me buy something to eat. You two can chat. What do you want to eat, Zhuzhu?"

Shen Jiezhu held her phone and waved her hands. Her voice was clear and bright. Her eyes were imprinted with the light above her head. She was clear and lucid: "Thank you, teacher. I just ate a lot. Hehe, no need. Thank you, teacher!"

She smiled a little embarrassedly. She had just gone to have dinner with the other curators and she scared everyone by eating too much.

There was really no other way. The time between catching the plane and the disciple competition was too short. She only had time to eat breakfast. She was hungry after a whole day's cross-border flight. How could she not eat a lot? She was not like this usually.

Unfortunately, no one believed it even after I explained it.

Pu Zhen lowered her eyes, took a look at her slightly bulging belly, and burst into laughter: "Haha, young people must not be hungry, it's good to eat more. You travel all over the world, and just sitting on a plane takes ten hours, so you must eat well to replenish your nutrition."

The other party's demeanor and tone were full of the tolerance and care of an older sister. Shen Jiezhu felt warm in her heart and was filled with gratitude: "Thank you for your concern, teacher!"

"Okay, I won't bother you guys anymore, just chat~"

Park Zhen walked out with a smile and considerately closed the door for her. At the last second before closing the door, she heard her talking to other staff members.

"Zhuzhu is practicing singing inside, don't disturb her."

"Okay, Sister Pu."

…

The door was closed, and all the sounds were blocked out. Every room in Park Zhen's studio has good soundproofing. For a moment, the room was so quiet that it was a little scary.

The phone screen was still on and the call was ongoing.

Shen Jiezhu carefully placed her cell phone on the table in front of her, fearing that she would accidentally touch any software that she shouldn't touch or see something that she shouldn't see.

"Oppa? Are you still there?" she asked.

"I'm here, Noona is out?"

"Yeah! Sorry, Oppa, I just muted my phone and made you worry. I have already sent a message to Xiaomi..."

Shen Jiezhu's voice became lower and lower, and Quan Zhilong could actually hear her grievance through the phone. A hearty laugh floated into his ears: "Hahaha, what's wrong, did you get scolded?"

Considering how anxious Xiaomi was just now, being scolded was the least of her worries.

"Well, I was murdered..."

"Xiaomi is just too worried about you. After what happened with the man in black, she was afraid something might happen to you. You don't know, when she came to me just now, she was so anxious that she spoke very fast. I almost didn't understand what she said, hahaha!"

"Of course, this isn't entirely your fault. After all, you used your big account to reply to your own amazing picture post, and when it was discovered, any normal person would want to escape from the earth, haha. I understand you~"

Kwon Ji-yong smiled happily.

He didn't hide his happiness at all.

Shen Jiezhu sighed helplessly: "Oppa, even you know about this? It's over, we've embarrassed ourselves abroad."

"I can tell from what I heard that you haven't checked the Internet for the latest news, right? Now you have a new title that is the source of happiness, pig. I just saw a post that lists all your titles. Do you want to check it out? Here's some information kkk!"

"Oppa!" Shen Jiezhu made a bitter face and poked the table frantically with her fingers: "I know, you must have been sent by Xiaomi to deal with me!"

Kwon Ji-yong's tone was lazy and teasing.

"Look, you're getting anxious again. Am I not trying to help you find a solution? Think about it, if you felt embarrassed the first time you responded, why not respond a few more times? Since everyone says you're a source of happiness, why not be bolder and make everyone happy again, right?"

The logic of Kwon Ji-yong's behavior was very strange, but after Shen Jiezhu thought about it for a while, she was actually convinced.

Because Kwon Ji-yong is an example. He is unique, so his fans understand and fully support his various behaviors on social platforms.

If that's the case, then am I...

"Pig, don't listen to his nonsense! He's just teasing you!"

"Senior Taixi?" Shen Jiezhu found the voice particularly familiar.

"Well, pig, go your own way, don't be influenced by this guy, he has five or six small ones!!"

…

Shen Jiezhu almost got fooled.

On the other end of the phone, Quan Zhilong laughed even more happily: "Brother, you have to believe us pigs, we pigs are very smart!"

The smart Shen Jiezhu said, you think too much.

After the joke, Shen Jiezhu's mood was obviously much better, and the discomfort she had just felt from being criticized by Xiaomi was gone.

When Quan Zhilong heard her tone return to normal, he finally started to talk about business with peace of mind.

"Park Jin-noo was my former teacher. She is very talented and proficient in various singing styles. She will definitely be able to help you. Pig, you should learn from her. When the time comes, I will check your results."

Shen Jiezhu responded very obediently.

"Yeah, ok, I just talked to the teacher, she said she used to work in YG, you were her student when you first joined the company~"

"You guys were chatting... and talked about me?" Kwon Ji-yong seemed very interested in this topic.

Shen Jiezhu held her chin with both hands and looked down at the phone on the table: "Yes, I said a lot!"

At this moment, the doorknob suddenly turned. It was Park Zhen who came back. Shen Jiezhu was about to get up to greet her, but she saw her waved her hand, indicating that she should continue chatting and not to bother herself.

After making this gesture, she sat down at the table next to the window, took out the food from the bag, spread it out on the table, and began to unpack and pack them one by one.

The room was instantly filled with the aroma of food.

"You talked a lot? What did you guys talk about?"

Quan Zhilong's voice brought Shen Jiezhu back to her wandering thoughts. She cleared her throat and deliberately asked him in a long voice: "What do you want to know about?"

"I want to know everything."

"Tsk, you're too greedy, Oppa. I won't tell you. Just guess it yourself. Haha! The teacher is back. We need to continue chatting and studying. You should go to bed early. Good luck at the concert!"

Having said that, Shen Jiezhu walked towards Pu Zhen with her cell phone in hand.

"Zhilong, go to bed early. Contact me anytime if you need anything."

"Thank you, Nuna. I won't bother you anymore."

Soon, Quan Zhilong hung up the phone.

Pu Zhen put away her phone and looked at Shen Jiezhu who was sitting opposite her. She didn't say anything, but her mind was replaying the scene of their conversation just now. Although she didn't hear much, based on the few sentences just now, Pu Zhen was sure that the relationship between the two was really good. You couldn't tell that there was an age difference of eight or nine years between them!

Let Quan Zhilong guess it himself?

Hahahaha, apart from his teammates and good brothers, which younger generation dares to talk to him like this?

Pigs are indeed different.

After eating enough melons and drinking enough, Pu Zhen finally decided to go to class.

She had already printed out the melody of the song. There was no doubt that it must have been given to her in advance by Kwon Ji-yong.

When the class officially started, Shen Jiezhu realized how amazing Park Zhen was. She was professional and strict when switching between work modes, and a single look could put people under great pressure.

Because the official OST recording will start in a week, Sim Jiezhu doesn't have much time to practice, so Park Jin chose the simplest and most effective training method. This method is too stressful, and few people have been able to stick to it before. She secretly thinks that Sim Jiezhu may not let her down.

She has her own teaching template, and the first step is to sing without emotion.

Fortunately, Shen Jiezhu had done her homework in advance, and her singing was neither good nor bad, and was considered normal. During the four-minute a cappella time, Pu Zhen scribbled on the paper, marking something from time to time, and filled several pages with writing.

What follows is a little correction and practice.

Sing the parts without problems 50 times to make your body and brain extremely sensitive to these melodies, almost to the point where you can react unconsciously just by hearing the prelude.

Keep practicing the problematic parts, repeating them hundreds of times, and stop only when there are no more problems.

After an hour, Shen Jiezhu's voice became hoarse.

This was something Park Zhen had expected, so her second step was to pay attention to the tone of every sentence.

In order to avoid various gasping and changing breaths mid-breath, Shen Jiezhu needs to take a long breath and then slowly exhale to test the length of her breath.

Then, I matched the breath distribution of each line of the lyrics according to my breath. It was a bit difficult at the beginning, but it became much easier after I found the feeling.

Shen Jiezhu practiced repeatedly while controlling her facial expressions in front of the mirror.

There is an opera at the end of this song, which can be said to be tailor-made for her. Shen Jiezhu had no problem with the opera, so the practice time for the second step was greatly reduced. Two hours later, Shen Jiezhu's grasp of the whole song has reached a higher level, especially the switching of breath, which is very fluent and natural. Even if the microphone is very close, there is almost no breathing sound.

By this time, her voice had recovered a little.

Pu Zhen didn't dare to waste time and immediately taught her the problem of emotional expression.

High-intensity practice can make people feel physically uncomfortable, especially after exhaling all the air, there may be a temporary feeling of dizziness. In order to keep herself awake, Shen Jiezhu has been standing in the corner. If she feels uncomfortable, she will lean back for a while and then continue practicing.

The training lasted for six hours, from nine in the evening to three in the morning. Pu Zhen was a night owl, and she became more awake and excited as it got later, which even excited the slightly dazed Shen Jiezhu.

"Pig, sing the full a cappella version now, paying attention to the details I just mentioned."

"good!"

…The first round is over.

"You pig, you beat the clock with the second sentence, watch your beat."

Second time.

"Pig, you ran out of breath in the last sentence. You can't sing halfway through. Opera is your strong point. You must not make any mistakes here. Let's do it again."

"Zhuzhu is generally okay, but the emotion in [Borrow Your Rose] is wrong. Each line represents a different character. This line should be about the second male lead's unrequited love, but you sang it like the second female lead. You are a singer now, not an actor. You need to break away from the fixed role. Come on!"

"Pig, this one is not bad, but there is a little problem with the ending of the last sentence. The emotions have a little ups and downs, and the result is not good. Let's do it again."

"Pig, the third sentence..."

"One more time, pig."

…

At 3:45, Shen Jiezhu completed her Nth full version of the a cappella performance.

This time, Park Zhen finally stopped asking any new questions.

"Very good! This time it's perfect. You must maintain this state. You must practice more, piggy, and practice outdoors to project your voice outward instead of keeping it in a circle."

Park Jin applauded her with admiration, and his liking for her continued to grow.

I thought Shen Jiezhu might give up halfway and take a rest, but I didn't expect her to persist.

For nearly seven hours, she never complained of being tired.

nice!

It really shows the fighting spirit that Zhilong had back then!

"Teacher, after I practice by myself, can I send you the audio for your comments? Will this disturb you?"

"Of course, no problem. If you have any questions, just send them to me and I'll answer them as soon as I see them."

Park Jin readily agreed, she likes this kind of hardworking and motivated young people. Not fooling the audience, not fooling the stage, not fooling yourself, this is the attitude that an artist should have.

"Thank you, teacher!" Shen Jiezhu bowed and thanked sincerely.

"It's okay. You called me teacher. Isn't it the teacher's duty to teach students?" Park Zhen returned to her previous friendliness and casualness.

She hadn't looked at her phone in hours, but she glanced at it because she was worried that someone might be calling her for work.

When I looked up, I realized it was already four o'clock!

"Pig, I seem to remember that you have to catch a flight to Thailand at five o'clock?"

"Yes, teacher."

"Then hurry back and pack up to go to the airport. Oh, I always have the problem of overtime in class. Why didn't you remind me? What if I miss your flight?"

"It's okay, teacher. I can just go to the airport directly from here. I won't get lost."

Park Jin glanced at her bag and asked, "Did you bring everything?"

"I brought the teacher, everything is packed!" Shen Jiezhu patted her small bag with a bright smile.

"You definitely can't get a taxi right now, so I'll drive you there!"

Shen Jiezhu was a little flattered: "No need, teacher, I can go there by myself. You have worked hard all night and should rest. Why would I bother you to send me there?"

"It's okay. I usually go to bed in the morning and I'm awake now. Let's go. It's been a while since I drove out in the middle of the night. It's a good time to enjoy the breeze and the scenery!"

Having said that, Park Zhen had already put on her coat and prepared to go out.

Shen Jiezhu had no choice but to hurry up and catch up, saying thank you countless times along the way.

Half an hour later, the two parted at the airport entrance. Shen Jiezhu waved goodbye to her, watched the car leave, then turned around and ran inside.

No matter how hard we tried, we finally made it to the destination.

The treatment in the first-class cabin was very good. As soon as Shen Jiezhu lay down, she felt sleepy. The blanket covered her body and felt warm. After talking to the flight attendant for a few words, she changed her position and fell into a deep sleep.

She was sleeping so soundly that she didn't notice the girl in the seat next to her took out her cell phone and started taking photos and videos crazily.
