G.E.M. was speechless and couldn't remain calm.
"Teacher Jiang, I've heard so much about you!"
Although Jiang Chen is a newcomer who has only recently become popular.
However, his singing skills, his talent, and his achievements in music are enough to inspire admiration.
The first time I came across this singer was through the song "Decent".
She heard it occasionally while browsing Douyin (TikTok).
I was deeply attracted by his heavenly singing voice.
She tried to imitate him, but she could never capture Jiang Chen's style or level of skill.
Jiang Chen: "I dare not accept such praise!"
G.E.M. said shyly, "Actually... I'm your fan!"
Jiang Chen was even more unworthy of such an honor.
G.E.M. has been in the industry for several years, while he hasn't even been in it for a month.
"I cannot accept this! I cannot accept this!"
G.E.M. emphasized, "I'm serious!"
Jiang Chen was flattered and overwhelmed: "How could I possibly be your idol!"
G.E.M. said in a serious tone: "Based on your talent, your strength, and your singing voice!"
Jiang Chen: "I'm just so-so, and I'm a newbie!"
G.E.M. corrected.
"In music, there is no distinction between new and old, only between those with ability."
"Those who are strong will earn the respect and admiration of others!"
Jiang Chen: "Aren't you being too kind to me!"
Deng Ziqi discovered that Jiang Chen was a humble person.
There's no need to argue with him; just say what's on your mind.
"I thought you were thirty years old, I didn't expect you to be so young."
Jiang Chen asked curiously, "Why would you have this misconception?"
G.E.M. explained, "You sang so skillfully, so perfectly, so flawlessly."
Jiang Chen: "Isn't this an essential element for every singer?"
G.E.M.: "I can tell you definitively that even veteran singers can't guarantee they'll sing every song well!"
There are too many veterans in the Hong Kong music scene.
She's seen Andy Lau's concerts, Jacky Cheung's concerts, Aaron Kwok's concerts, Leon Lai's concerts, and Beyond's concerts...
None of these superstars are perfect.
They all have quite a few flaws.
Their fame simply overshadows everything.
Jiang Chen: "Really?"
G.E.M.: "In the eyes of insiders, you have already reached the pinnacle, and there is really no opponent who can match you."
Jiang Chen: "Yes, there are some. Jay Chou and Lin Junjie are very strong!"
G.E.M.: "They just have a strong reputation. In terms of strength, I feel you are no less than them!"
Jiang Chen was greatly startled.
Are you trying to flatter me to death?
"It wouldn't be good if their fans heard this."
G.E.M.: "I'm stating the facts!"
Jiang Chen: "Fine, I just want to do my best anyway; I don't care about surpassing this or that."
G.E.M.: "Teacher Jiang, how did you create so many high-quality songs in such a short time?"
Jiang Chen: "Inspiration! It just happens when inspiration strikes!"
G.E.M.: "Who gave you this inspiration? Did you get dumped?"
Jiang Chen: "Do you think it's possible?"
G.E.M. frowned slightly: "I think it's unlikely!"
With Jiang Chen's good looks, who could resist him?
If she were Jiang Chen's girlfriend, she'd love to stick by his side and warm his bed.
Jiang Chen: "Isn't that settled then?"
G.E.M. pressed for an answer.
"How are you able to write such heartbreaking lyrics?"
"And he sang it so heartbreakingly, so intensely?"
Jiang Chen: "Just force yourself to put yourself in that situation."
G.E.M.: "Have you watched a lot of breakup videos or read sad literature?"
Jiang Chen: "Breakups happen all the time around me, I've become numb to it."
Drawing inspiration from things happening around you is a valid approach.
G.E.M. had one question: "You're so talented, why did you debut so late?"
Jiang Chen looks to be in his early twenties, right?
A naturally gifted singer can debut as early as their teens.
Moreover, the earlier you debut, the better, as you can earn more money and build more fame.
Jiang Chen said sadly, "Speaking of which, it's as long as a bolt of cloth; in short, its fate has been full of twists and turns!"
What exactly has this weathered place like?
G.E.M. was incredibly curious: "What did you do before your debut?"
Jiang Chen: "Start a business!"
G.E.M. gasped.
"Have you ever been a boss?"
This was not what she expected.
She thought Jiang Chen was still in school at his age.
Jiang Chen: "Yes!"
G.E.M.: What industry do you work in?
Jiang Chen: "Interior design!"
G.E.M. was shocked.
"You also do interior design?"
"He possesses a myriad of talents!"
That's insane.
Not only is he a good songwriter, but he also has other talents.
A genius.
Jiang Chen: "I'm alright!"
G.E.M.: "Why did you quit?"
Jiang Chen: "We're bankrupt."
G.E.M. was stunned: "Huh? It's that bad?"
Jiang Chen gave a bitter smile: "Yes!"
Realizing she had reopened old wounds with Teacher Jiang, Deng Ziqi quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Jiang Chen: "It's okay, it's all in the past, I don't care anymore."
G.E.M.: "I believe that Teacher Jiang will definitely make a comeback."
This encouragement, this recognition, this confidence—it all came so suddenly.
Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat.
I was inexplicably moved.
When he was down on his luck, everyone looked down on him, thinking that his life was over and that he could not turn things around.
