Chapter 24 Duet "I just know what you want."...
He Yan was stunned not because he was afraid that Zhu Shengting would divide his resources, that was not the case.
But he didn't expect Fengrui Pavilion to make this suggestion. After all, they didn't know what Zhu Shengting's singing level was.
What if you are tone-deaf?
Fengrui Pavilion naturally saw what he was thinking, and also knew that He Yan was not confused because of any other conflict of interest.
He explained with a smile, "I know that the story of your play is quite special."
This particular statement made He Yan's ears burn. Although this drama did not have any kissing scenes or too many intimate scenes, and even hugs were not many, everyone in the crew knew that the two protagonists were essentially in love.
It’s just that the current policy doesn’t allow direct same-sex love to be filmed, so you can get away with it by skirting the rules and leaving some blank space.
Feng Ruige paused and continued, "Since it's the theme song, the lyrics must contain the feelings between the two protagonists. If you two sing together, the effect will definitely be better."
He Yan supported his chin with his hand and thought seriously. What Feng Ruige said made sense. If the two of them sang the theme song together, the audience would feel more involved and it would also promote their CP.
"Well... Teacher Feng, you are right, but... the main thing is that I don't know much about the other lead singer's singing, and I'm afraid..." He Yan frowned and didn't finish his words.
But Feng Ruige heard his concerns and said, "This is a minor issue. As long as the singing is not too outrageous, the sound can be adjusted later. But if it is really too unpleasant, it is better for you to sing it alone."
"Okay, I'll go back and ask him." He Yan nodded seriously.
He took out the lyrics that he had revised more than ten times from his bag and handed them to Feng Ruige to read. He was very nervous and kept observing the other party's reaction.
Unexpectedly, Fengrui Pavilion gave a very high evaluation.
"Child, you are very talented. I hope you can take this path more often in the future." Feng Ruige sighed, looking at He Yan with eyes full of admiration.
"Well, thank you Teacher Feng!" He Yan's heart was filled with emotion.
Ever since he received the song from Fengrui Pavilion, he has been reading the script during the day and writing and revising the lyrics at night. It seems that these nights have not been in vain.
After discussing the theme song, Feng Ruige stayed in Shangcheng. He Yan said goodbye to him and returned to Tongxiang in a nanny car. They agreed to record the first version of the song the day after tomorrow night.
On the way back to the hotel, He Yan kept thinking about whether Zhu Shengting could sing. Less than a minute after he sat down in the hotel room, he sent a message to Zhu Shengting.
He Yan: Are you free now? I have something important to discuss with you in person.
He leaned against the soft pillows of the sofa and waited boredly for a few minutes.
"bite--"
He Yan's relaxed nerves were brought back to life by the message alert sound, and he immediately opened his phone.
Sheng Ting: Yes, I just finished taking a shower, come over.
He Yan closed his phone and stood up immediately. Zhu Shengting's rest room was right next to his, but there was no need for them to visit each other in the past few days.
He thought about it and decided not to knock on the door. Instead, he stood at the door and sent a message to Zhu Shengting, saying that he was at the door.
After a few seconds, the door of the room opened.
He Yan raised his head slightly and looked at the person in front of him. At this moment, Zhu Shengting was wearing a pajamas, and his hair was still dripping with water. A few drops of water flowed down his cheeks to his chin.
Zhu Shengting opened the door wider. He Yan smoothed the hair on his forehead and felt a little itchy.
"Come in." Zhu Shengting wiped his hair casually twice with a towel, and his hair was no longer dripping like before.
"You just came back from outside?" Zhu Shengting noticed He Yan's outfit today as soon as he opened the door.
A light blue shirt paired with white suit pants is casual yet decent.
Although this outfit is not formal, it is carefully matched, and He Yan also has light makeup on her face.
"Yes." He Yan had just returned and didn't even have time to take off his makeup. He walked in and sat on the sofa.
"So what's the important matter?" Zhu Shengting sat opposite him and asked directly.
He Yan stared at the person in front of him for two seconds and asked a question that Zhu Shengting was not expecting.
"Can you sing?"
Zhu Shengting slowed down his hair drying hands. He hung the towel on his shoulders, lifted the hair in front of his forehead and brushed it back, revealing his smooth forehead.
"Sing?" he asked hesitantly.
He Yan nodded seriously, his eyes showing sincerity, not like he was joking.
Zhu Shengting raised an eyebrow and was silent for two seconds before answering, "Yes, I sing just okay. What's wrong?"
"Well, because I can sing a little, the crew approached me about singing the theme song. They also asked Mr. Feng Ruige to collaborate with me," He Yan hid the dream story, fearing unnecessary misunderstandings. "Now we have the lyrics and music. When I met with Mr. Feng Ruige tonight, he suggested that we sing together. It would be even better that way."
"That is, if you can sing well."
Zhu Shengting listened quietly to what He Yan said, and for a moment he didn't know how to react.
"Tsk," He Yan saw Zhu Shengting hesitate, so he took out his phone, opened the karaoke app, and handed it to him without question, "Just pick a song and sing it for me."
Zhu Shengting still didn't say anything, but he didn't hesitate. He picked up He Yan's phone and picked a familiar song.
As soon as the prelude sounded, He Yan recognized which song it was. The original singer was a bass.
While waiting for Zhu Shengting to speak, He Yan's heart beat faster for some reason, and he felt a sense of anticipation.
"The protagonist of the story will not turn around, and love will not go against the wind and water."
As soon as Zhu Shengting opened his mouth, He Yan's eyes widened slightly.
This person has a pretty good voice! His pitch is pretty good too!
"Dead leaves caress the hem of your lover's wedding dress in his dream. Remember to cherish this winter's freak."
"The unspoken confession is buried outside the heart, and the blood and tears of the heart flow to the end of the earth."
Zhu Shengting stopped singing halfway through the song, and He Yan had almost finished listening.
"Sure!" He patted Zhu Shengting's shoulder excitedly. "Although my skills are average, I have a great voice and it sounds great. Let's sing together the day after tomorrow night. I'll send you the lyrics, music, and demo version when I get home tonight."
After saying that, He Yan stood up and prepared to leave.
"He Yan." Zhu Shengting called out to the person in front of him who couldn't hide his excitement.
"Are you sure I want to join?" he asked.
Upon hearing this, He Yan turned around and walked a few steps to Zhu Shengting, bent down and stared deeply into his eyes, "Don't you want to?"
Zhu Shengting couldn't help laughing as he looked at the person in front of him whose eyes were wide open like a cat whose food had been snatched away.
I really want to say, "Don't you dare say you don't want to try?"
"Okay, how do you know what I think?" Zhu Shengting raised the corner of his mouth.
He Yan was satisfied and stood up straight, "I just know what you want."
Who would turn down a chance to show themselves?
"Then remember to listen to the demo and practice as soon as possible. I may randomly check on you tomorrow. I'm going to go back and rest first. See you at the magazine shoot." He Yan checked the time on his phone. It was already late.
Zhu Shengting raised no objection to the "spot check." He sat in his original position without moving, watching He Yan leave the room. "Well, good night."
He sat in his original position, thinking back on everything that had just happened.
Fengrui Pavilion, there is no need for a music master-level figure who is known by 80% of people on Baidu. Would such a person take the initiative to cooperate with the current He Yan?
Just like Datura would not actively invite him to participate in Fashion Week, although He Yan did not say it, he guessed correctly that Mengchuan also gave He Yan the same good resources.
He could feel that the popularity between him and He Yan was skyrocketing, and many other things were also undergoing greater changes as a result.
He still couldn't decide whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Zhu Shengting couldn't think any further when he thought of this. Instead, He Yan's eyes, round like a puppet cat and clear as glass, staring at him appeared in his mind.
A minute later, he received the demo sent by He Yan and started to have a headache.
*
The next morning, He Yan got up very early. When Huang Min came to find him, he had already washed up and was ready to go.
"Then let's go, Brother Yan." Huang Min glanced at his phone and decided to set off now to avoid traffic jams during the morning rush hour.
"Okay." He Yan put on a mask and followed Huang Min out of the room.
Before he left, he glanced at the room next to his, wondering if Zhu Shengting had left.
"Zhan Ming told me that Brother Ting is waiting downstairs." Huang Min glanced at WeChat on his phone and pressed the elevator button.
He Yan subconsciously asked, "Should I go in the same car with him?"
Huang Min suddenly didn't know what expression to make. She didn't know what He Yan meant by that.
Do you still hate Zhu Shengting? Don't want to work with him? Didn't they read the script together for so many days?
Could it be that the harmony these days was just her illusion?
That's not right! Our artists' acting skills aren't that good yet!
"Yes...ah." Huang Min scratched his hair and answered hesitantly.
He Yan only reacted after hearing Huang Min's dry words and seeing the other party's bewildered expression.
I'm going to shoot a magazine with Zhu Shengting, and we're both in the same place, so arranging two cars might be a bit too extravagant.
Realizing this, he felt a little embarrassed about the question he had just asked.
"I almost forgot. We were used to being apart before." He Yan had no choice but to say this.
"Oh oh oh, indeed." Huang Min responded. She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She didn't want to experience the strange atmosphere between the two of them in the car last time again.
Five minutes later, He Yan met Zhu Shengting in the car.
"Breakfast." Zhu Shengting handed him a sandwich as soon as he saw him.
He Yan was stunned for a second, then quickly took it after realizing what was happening. He murmured, "Thank you."
There seems to be no reason for Zhu Shengting to prepare breakfast for him today?
Just now he almost forgot to ask Huang Min if she bought breakfast.
He Yan quietly unwrapped the sandwich and took the first bite. The salty and sweet taste of bacon and pork floss exploded in his mouth.
"I have a shoot today, so I didn't buy anything with oil. I'll just have to make do with it." Zhu Shengting took a sip of the iced American coffee next to him.
"Hmm." He Yan took small bites of the sandwich obediently. After eating half of it, he felt a little greasy and wanted to find a bottle of water to drink.
Zhu Shengting looked at He Yan, who was eating grass like a rabbit, and suddenly stopped eating. As if he guessed something, he smiled, picked up the glass of iced American coffee and shook it in front of He Yan.
"Drink?"
He Yan was about to call Huang Min, but was stopped by Zhu Shengting's action. He looked at the glass of iced American coffee in front of him, and then looked at the person in front of him who was smiling a little subtly.
Suddenly he remembered something and his ears turned completely red.
"I..." He Yan blushed and was about to say that he didn't need it.
Zhu Shengting took back the hand holding the iced American coffee, then took out a cup of milky white drink from the brown paper bag beside him and stuffed it directly into He Yan's hand.
"Sweet milk, just the way you like it."
He Yan held the cup of warm milk and saw Zhu Shengting take a few more sips of iced American coffee. He realized that this annoying guy was teasing him so early in the morning!
He puffed out his cheek, a little annoyed, and thought of a counter-attack. "Excuse me, my friend who likes iced Americano, have you learned the song?"
There was an eerie silence in the carriage, and the answer was obvious.
He Yan was happy to see Zhu Shengting being humiliated.
A few seconds later, Zhu Shengting begged for mercy for the first time, "Ancestor, please drink a sip of milk first, it's quite sweet."
Huang Min and Zhan Ming, who were sitting in the row in front of them, were shocked when they heard this and looked at each other in surprise.
