"Miss Deng, it's your turn!"
Staff came over to inform them.
G.E.M. stood up and said to Jiang Chen, "I'm going to record the song now!"
Jiang Chen: "Go!"
G.E.M.: "Is Teacher Jiang free tonight?"
After recording "Happy Camp", there really wasn't anywhere else to go.
But it was already 11 o'clock when we finished recording "Happy Camp", right?
Where can we go for fun at 11 PM?
Jiang Chen: "I do have free time, but it's a bit late after recording 'Happy Camp'."
G.E.M.: "It's okay, I'll treat you to a late-night snack!"
I was hungry around that time.
Jiang Chen replied without hesitation, "Okay! Let's contact each other again after the show is finished!"
G.E.M.: "Mmm!"
With a happy feeling, G.E.M. turned and left.
A few minutes later, it was Jiang Chen's turn to record the song.
Led by the staff, he entered recording studio number two.
He sensed the oppressive atmosphere as soon as he entered.
The sound engineers, mixing engineers, and producers in the monitoring room are all senior professionals.
They are taking Jiang Chen very seriously.
"You're Jiang Chen?"
A senior colleague adjusted his reading glasses and asked.
Jiang Chen felt extremely uncomfortable.
It felt like I was being judged.
"Yes!"
Mixing engineer: "Did you sing 'Understanding' and 'Ugly Monster'?"
Jiang Chen: "Yes!"
Mixing engineer: "Sing a couple of lines for us to hear."
Jiang Chen just wanted to say, "Why should I?"
Mixing engineer: "We want to verify your identity!"
Jiang Chen: "So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"
Mixing engineer: "If it is, I'll give you a thumbs up; if not, I'll kick you out."
The two treatments are worlds apart.
Jiang Chen asked curiously, "Why is there such a big difference?"
The mixing engineer explained.
"Because these two songs are of a very high standard, which is what we admire about them."
"If you're impersonating Jiang Chen, do we need to be polite to you?"
I see.
The three seniors had no ill intentions.
They were simply captivated by these two songs.
Without hesitation, Jiang Chen sang the chorus of "Understanding" a cappella.
"Ah, what a painful realization."
You were my everything.
"It's just that I look back on every step I've taken."
They all left so lonely.
"Ah, what a painful realization."
You were my everything.
I only wish you could break free from the shackles of love.
"Bound by love, pursue it freely."
"Stop suffering for love."
It really hurts.
Hearing it live is far more breathtaking than hearing it with headphones.
Jiang Chen's perfect voice created an atmosphere that was truly moving.
If I lose control of my emotions even slightly, I'll burst into tears.
"Clap clap clap!"
They gave them a round of applause in approval.
I was truly amazed by Jiang Chen's singing skills.
Jiang Chen bowed slightly: "I've made a fool of myself!"
The producer was unable to calm his excited emotions.
"When I first heard this song, I knew you were extraordinary."
"After getting to know you, I realized you're a newcomer."
"It made me doubt that a newcomer could have such singing skills."
"Now that I've seen the original singer in person and heard the live version of 'Understanding,' I realize that geniuses truly exist in this world!"
This rating is shockingly high.
Jiang Chen felt unworthy of such praise.
"You flatter me, senior!"
Recording engineer: "In all my years in the industry, you are the first and only new singer who has impressed me."
Mixing engineer: "At HuNan TV, we've worked with countless singers; it's no exaggeration to say that your talent is top-notch!"
Producer: "Those veteran singers who have been singing for decades aren't necessarily better than you!"
Jiang Chen felt a chill run down his spine.
If these words were to get out, he would definitely be hung up and criticized.
The music industry veterans are highly respected; how could he dare to compare himself to them?
"Teacher, please stop praising me."
"If this gets out, I'll be criticized and denounced!"
Sound engineer: "What are you afraid of? It's not like I'm the only one saying it!"
Mixing engineer: "You know Han Lei, right? He also thinks you sang well."
Producer: "He even wants to sing this song on 'I Am a Singer'!"
Jiang Chen was taken aback: "No way, what have I done to deserve Han Lei's favor?"
Han Lei, the one known as "the voice of emperors".
Most of the theme songs for the TV shows I watched as a child were composed by him.
Examples include "Is There a Great Northern Wilderness in the Sky?", "Borrowing Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven", and "A Man of Honesty".
This is a veteran in the music industry.
He holds a highly respected position in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Sound engineer: "That's exactly what he told us!"
Mixing engineer: "If you don't believe me, you can go ask him!"
Whether it's important or not is irrelevant now.
Jiang Chen was completely at a loss.
"You guys are being too kind to me, I'm almost embarrassed."
The producer smiled broadly.
What are young people afraid of?
"You will be the ones to take over the future of the Chinese music scene."
Jiang Chen: "That's true, but one cannot be disrespectful to superiors!"
Recording engineer: "In the music industry, there is no distinction between high and low, noble and base."
Mixing engineer: "If you sing well and have a large following, you can command the wind and rain."
Producer: "Although Jay Chou and JJ Lin are young, you wouldn't think they are less talented than their seniors in the music industry."
Jiang Chen: "I've only just debuted, I need to gain some experience!"
Recording engineer: "Stop 'resting' on your laurels. Your singing skills have already reached their peak. What's there to 'rest' on?"
Mixing engineer: "We should go on a killing spree and take back the Chinese music scene from singers from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and overseas Chinese singers!"
