The recording shop owner mocked without any politeness: "Is your bad singing a language problem? You lack breath control, and your voice sounds like a startled duck swooping down and yelling."
Old Zeng really overestimated himself; he actually sang it when asked.
He didn't even consider who sang that song just now—it was Sexy Little Strong!
Director Zeng wasn't angry at all after being ridiculed by him. Instead, he nodded and said, "This is Yan Yu's song. It's not surprising that I sang it badly."
Seeing his reaction, the recording shop owner felt embarrassed to argue further and remarked with emotion, "I've been thinking about it, and there aren't many people in China who have this singing ability and can sing this song better than Yan Yu. So don't feel inferior."
Director Zeng was given a disapproving look by the recording shop owner, who urged him, "Shut up and get to work. We still have to record 'The Ordinary Road' together later."
The recording shop owner quickly focused on his work.
In the following days, Xu Yanyu spent the entire time in the recording studio in order to finish recording the two songs by the end of the day.
Although she sang very well, the recording studio owner discovered that she could actually sing better and better.
That's why we have to strive for perfection.
They all ordered takeout for dinner and ate while working.
At 10:30 p.m., the recording shop owner finally announced that all recording tasks were finished.
"Alright, both songs are done. I've exceeded my target for today," the recording studio owner said, rubbing his tired eyes.
Xu Yanyu, who had been leaning back in her chair looking blankly at the sky, immediately perked up when she heard her boss's words.
It's finally over.
On that day, she finally realized how difficult it was to be a singer.
She stood up, stretched, and looked at Director Zeng.
Of the three, Director Zeng was the most energetic.
He was on the phone directing his crew to edit the video based on the already recorded songs.
"The ending theme song has also been changed, so the previously edited footage can no longer be used."
"I sent you the theme song before. Do you have any editing ideas? Can you give me a plan by tomorrow afternoon?"
"Everyone will have to work a bit harder these next few days, maybe a few extra shifts. Once we get through this period, we'll be free."
...
Director Zeng's phone kept ringing. Xu Yanyu was so helpful that he was in a real hurry and couldn't wait for the finished film to be released.
The recording shop owner shook his head and turned to Xu Yanyu, saying, "Yanyu, I've discovered that the more you're squeezed, the better you produce."
Xu Yanyu's lips twitched when she heard his words.
That statement is incredibly powerful.
She felt she sang quite well countless times today, but the recording studio owner just became curious.
They asked her to change her singing style and tested her vocal range.
The results of the test made the recording shop owner extremely satisfied.
They even modified the song later to make it fit the movie's plot and better showcase Xu Yanyu's singing skills.
Her throat is so dry that she can barely speak.
"Sigh, it's all Old Zeng's fault for asking for this movie theme song in such a hurry, otherwise we could have tried a few more singing styles."
Yan Yu, are you planning to release an album? If you do, don't forget to contact me.
The recording shop owner said with a hint of reluctance.
It's not about the money; he just really wants Yan Yu's playlist in that folder.
Upon hearing his words, Xu Yanyu humbly replied, "I will definitely come to you when I want to change career paths."
Director Zeng hung up the phone and said excitedly, "It's over! What a great day! Yan Yu, you've worked so hard today!"
"It's alright. If I finish today, I won't need to come tomorrow. The sooner we finish recording, the less trouble everyone will have," Xu Yanyu replied with a smile.
"Alright, let's all go home then. I've already had them transfer the copyright fee for 'The Road of Life' to you. The contract should be sent to you tomorrow, so please handle it then. Although our process is a bit messy, it won't delay anything."
Director Zeng is very grateful for Xu Yanyu's trust, as the song was not left unrecorded even though the process was not completed.
This girl is straightforward and honest; he'll definitely have to help her out sometime in the future.
Xu Yanyu replied with a smile, "I have already received the payment notification from the bank."
"Alright, let's head out then. I still need to keep an eye on their editing; looks like I'll be working late tonight." Director Zeng's words sounded like a complaint, but he actually had a smile plastered on his face the whole time.
The group greeted each other and then left.
Xu Yanyu didn't get back to her residence until after 11 p.m.
At this time of day, and having been exhausted after a long day, she didn't have the energy for any beauty or skincare routines.
She quickly removed her makeup, took a shower, and fell into a deep sleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.
Friday has arrived in the blink of an eye, and the new episode of "Masked Singer" will air today.
Xu Yanyu has not streamed for two consecutive days.
On Wednesday, I went to help Director Zeng record the theme song for his movie, and on Thursday, I quickly picked up a car.
There's now a high-performance sports car parked in her rented garage.
Xu Yanyu wanted to drive to buy some things.
She had just finished eating and was about to leave when her phone suddenly rang.
She answered the phone, "Hello?"
"Hello Xu Yanyu, I am an entertainment reporter from Babagua Media. May I ask what your purpose is in participating in the 'Masked Singer' program?"
Why did you disregard your contract with Hongsen Entertainment and participate in the program without permission?
Do you have any explanation for this situation?
Xu Yanyu was stunned. Had her identity been exposed?
She didn't reply, but the reporter opposite her was very impatient and kept asking, "We are all shocked that you are the real-life sexy cockroach. Why did you only act in movies and not sing before?"
"If Hongsen Entertainment were to pursue legal action against you..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yanyu's face instantly turned cold. Without giving the other party a chance to speak, she immediately hung up the phone.
What else is there to doubt? The other party even guessed her identity as Sexy Xiaoqiang, so her participation in the "Masked Singer" program was exposed.
Meanwhile, Director Zhou also received a message from the program's publicity team.
"Director Zhou, there's an emergency. Some media outlets have reported that Xu Yanyu is a sexy cockroach. They've paid for trending topics, and they've already surpassed our trending topics."
"Everyone, call a meeting!" Director Zhou, who was still checking the program's edited video, suddenly stood up and gave the order.
Ten minutes later, Director Zhou and his assistant director sat in the conference room with dark expressions.
The assistant director roared, "Investigate! You all need to investigate right now! I want to see who leaked Yan Yu's identity!"
Director Zhou didn't speak, but the bruises on his face showed that he was also in a bad mood.
With the show about to air, this incident has occurred at this crucial moment.
The staff sitting below swallowed hard in fright.
Everyone looked at each other, hoping someone would have the courage to step forward and calm the leader's anger.
