After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the director took them to the recording studio of the show.
There were many staff members here, and they were very busy coming and going, hardly noticing Wen He and the others.
"Why don't you get to know your three mentors first? They're all very eager to meet you."
As they were talking, the director opened a door.
Upon hearing this, Wen He walked in slowly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
At this moment, the three mentors, including Xue Zhiqian, all turned their attention to this.
The moment they saw Wen He, a visible joy appeared on the face of each of them.
"Wen He! I've finally waited for you! Do you know how hard I've waited for you?! I've been dreaming about seeing you!"
Xue Zhiqian excitedly walked over and very familiarly grasped Wen He's hands tightly.
He looked at Wen He with great joy, making Wen He feel very embarrassed.
"Teacher Xue Zhiqian... I really hope to meet you... I love your songs."
Wen He's voice was very soft and shy.
He never expected Xue Zhiqian to be so enthusiastic.
"To be honest, before I met you, I was quite proud."
"But after listening to your songs, I can't feel proud at all."
"How do you manage to make every song incredibly catchy while still releasing one or two new songs every day?"
"Could I borrow your brain for two days? Four songs are almost my entire year's output."
"Lend me a month, and I can retire early and enjoy my old age."
Xue Zhiqian's usual sense of humor immediately eased Wen He's initial tension.
"Thank you for your recognition, Professor Xue Zhiqian," Wen He said politely.
"Cheng Yudie? If I remember correctly, you should be Wen He's girlfriend, right?"
Yang Mi also noticed Cheng Yudie standing next to Wen He.
"Ah? No, no, no... We're just friends. Wen He has never been on such a big stage before, and I was worried he might be nervous, so I came with him."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yudie was immediately taken aback.
Her cheeks flushed, and she hurriedly explained, somewhat nervously.
Upon hearing Cheng Yudie's explanation, all three mentors gave her a knowing smile, as if to say, "Oh... I understand."
"Wen He, you are much more humble than I imagined. You don't seem like a phenomenal figure on the internet right now at all."
Hua Chenyu was also surprised by Wen He's humble attitude.
It's quite unexpected that someone who is rich, powerful, and very capable would appear with such a humble attitude.
He's met many people, and he can tell at a glance whether someone is faking it or not.
"My rise to fame was largely due to luck, and I still have many shortcomings that I need to learn more about."
Wen He knew that everything she had now was not something she had earned through her own efforts.
Everything related to music was provided by the system.
He was able to break away from his family and gain freedom thanks to the help of Cheng Yudie and Gao Chongting.
He survived because many kind people gave him a glimmer of hope when he was at his most desperate.
Wen He remembered all of this deeply and never dared to forget it for a moment.
Because he himself was a cowardly and incompetent person.
Without them, Wen He would have died in some cold corner long ago.
Not to mention that I can now live a life that I never dared to dream of before.
"With your humble attitude, superb singing skills, exaggerated output, and explosive talent, it's no wonder you've remained a popular sensation across the internet for so long," Xue Zhiqian couldn't help but remark.
"Yes, your songs are really touching, they often make me cry," Yang Mi also revealed her true feelings.
"I've studied music a lot. I can't speak for other things, but your arrangement is truly top-notch, especially your song 'Jingwei.' I think it's a bit of a shame that your music is so powerful that the messy lyrics don't do justice to such a good melody."
When Hua Chenyu talked about this song, he seemed quite emotional.
This is enough to show just how much he loves that song.
But extreme love can turn into hate; a piece of music that is too good makes him feel that ordinary pieces are not worthy of such a good melody.
"Thank you for your kind words, Teacher Hua Chenyu. The lyrics of that song are indeed very messy and terrible. If possible, may I ask you for some advice?" Wen He asked humbly.
"What do you want to ask me? The lyrics of that song?"
"Mmm." Wen He nodded repeatedly.
“…………” After a brief silence, Hua Chenyu smiled and scratched his head: “Haha, actually I tried to change the lyrics, but I found that no matter how I changed them, they didn’t feel right, there was always a sense of incongruity.”
He loved the arrangement of that song so much.
Many studies were conducted afterward.
In the end, it was concluded that Wen He's song could not be touched or changed.
Moreover, no one can cover the song.
Almost no one can truly capture the essence of that song.
"Later I realized that your song might be a kind of stream of consciousness."
"It's similar to some of my songs; you need to get into a certain state to sing it well, and once you're out of that state, it won't work."
“If I tried to create it rationally, I would have ruined the song,” Hua Chenyu explained.
Before she knew it, Wen He had started chatting with the three mentors and they were getting along very well.
Until all the preparations were completed on site...
Wen He was also called out by the director.
We're preparing to record his part of the promotional video and solo performance.
The promotional video part was very simple; you just had to follow the director's instructions.
As for solo performances...
He planned to sing just like he was doing a live stream, with only a few words.
After Wen He confirmed repeatedly, the director still gave an affirmative answer.
Wen He stood on the specially decorated stage, holding a microphone.
Since it was announced in advance, there was no one in the audience, which allowed Wen He to get some experience beforehand.
After all, this is a serious, major program.
In addition, Wen He himself was not highly educated.
It's better to say less than to say more.
As the prelude gradually begins...
May you sail through countless trials, yet remain untouched by the dust of time.
Before the echo had faded, three words slowly appeared on the large screen behind Wen He.
