Chapter 175 Audition
Tianwen Entertainment.

The five singers selected include Darlene, a former pop diva whose career has faded.

She is a 56-year-old woman who has two children after marriage.

I don't know if it's because of her age, but her voice changed a lot after giving birth.

My once clear and soaring voice has now become somewhat deep and resonant; if I try to sing a high note, my throat will immediately hurt.

But she used to be the queen of high notes, and none of her songs had a low note.

So now, she can no longer sing her old songs.

Commercial performances and tours do not allow lip-syncing, which has led many companies to give up on collaborating with her after learning that her voice could no longer sing her old songs.

After all, what fans like are her hit songs.

If she can't attract fans, then wouldn't the purpose of inviting her be diminished?
No capitalist would want to lose money.

In their eyes, everyone has different values.

A profitable investment is one where people spend money to realize the value of their assets and then recoup even greater value.

To be honest, if Darlene weren't so short of money, she would have retired and gone on a wonderful vacation long ago.

The problem is, she's short of money!
She was just a D-class female who attracted three A-class male partners by being a pop diva.

However, because he was unable to deeply comfort them, two of his partners have passed away, and another has entered a period of recuperation.

Currently, she is surrounded by only two B-grade males who are in their prime.

They have some assets, but their income is not considered wealthy; it's at most average.

The problem is that after all these years as a pop diva, she has become accustomed to a life of luxury, and now, in her view, her life is quite frugal.

So she wanted to make a comeback and earn money, but she kept running into obstacles.

That's how the entertainment industry is. Every year there are new faces, and old faces are forgotten as long as they're out of the public eye.

For the past few months, she has been sitting on the sidelines at Tianwen.

Even some newcomers could openly or subtly mock her.

Sometimes Darlene wonders if leaving with a beautiful image is the most dignified way to depart.

But she was unwilling to do so.

The entertainment industry is indeed a big melting pot, but it is also the circle of fame and fortune that low-class women like them are most likely to come into contact with.

The mental strength test at age three categorized them into several levels.

Everywhere, people use hierarchy to measure their worth.

The entertainment industry is the only place where these lowly beastmen can rise up and achieve success.

If she hadn't become a pop diva and gained many fans, how could she possibly have married a top-tier male?

Now her cubs have grown up, and their mental strength levels, both male cubs, are C-level.

She needs a lot of money to pave the way for them.

So when she received the company's notification for the audition, she warmed up her voice at home early and put on light makeup before rushing over.

Upon arrival, I realized I was too early, but I patiently waited.

During this period, four more junior colleagues from the same company arrived one after another.

This made her realize that this opportunity might very well be won through an audition!
She secretly cheered herself up: Darlene, you can do it. Think of your past glory, think of your two lovely sons.

……

Soon, the instructor from the recording studio arrived.

"Now that everyone's here, let's begin. Darlene, you can start first. Any questions?"

Darlene shook her head, took a deep breath nervously, and said, "I'm ready."

"Then come in."

Upon entering the recording studio, Darlin was momentarily surprised to see Jiang Qin already seated there.

As a singer, she naturally followed the show "Interstellar Composer" and recognized Jiang Qin.

She hadn't expected that Jiang Qin would be there for today's audition.

Could it be... that she's going to sing Jiang Qin's new song?
Thinking about the year-end chart competition in December, Darlene felt a surge of excitement. "I heard you can't sing your old songs anymore, is that right?"

Upon being asked, despite feeling somewhat uneasy, Darlene chose to tell the truth: "Yes, I can no longer sing high notes."

Every time I sing a high note, my throat feels stinging. I went to see a doctor, but they couldn't find anything wrong.

The doctor only said that it might be due to my age, and my voice had changed as a result.

To put it bluntly, it's because I'm getting older that my voice isn't as resilient as it was when I was younger.

"Okay, have you ever heard my songs?"

"I heard."

Can you sing?

"meeting!"

Jiang Qin nodded, "Then let's choose one to sing."

Darlene chose "tomorrow will be better".

Actually, she preferred songs like "Ru Yuan" (meaning "as you wish"), but her voice couldn't reach those high notes, so she had to settle for second best and choose songs that were less likely to go wrong.

However, Jiang Qin still frowned as she listened.

Darlene was too concerned about technique, and perhaps her voice made her insecure, which caused her to be hesitant and timid when she started singing.

A song brimming with youthful energy has somehow managed to completely obliterate its unique characteristics.

However, you can still tell from her voice that she has some skill.

The biggest problem is a lack of confidence; I didn't open my voice wide enough.

After finishing her song, Darlin waited anxiously for Jiang Qin's evaluation.

She used to be unrestrained and flamboyant, never caring so much about other people's opinions.

However, after her comeback, she experienced too many setbacks and heard too many derogatory remarks, and she lost her confidence.

She began to care about the audience's opinions, began to restrain her own style, and began to fear hearing negative comments.

Jiang Qin noticed her nervousness and said softly, "It's fine, it's just that your voice is a little hoarse."

Would you like to sing another song? This time, choose one you're good at, any style is fine.

Anything that helps you relax is fine.

This really put Darlene in a difficult position.

Her best song is naturally her own hit song, but she always cracks when she sings those songs.

As for the other songs, she could sing them well, but she couldn't capture their soul.

Suddenly, she thought of a song and asked, "How about a folk song from my hometown?"

"can."

Then Darlin sang a Vietnamese folk song.

This immediately caught Jiang Qin's eye.

It's a minority language, that's so rare.

Darlin, whose voice sounds somewhat pale when singing Mandarin songs, appears rather languid when singing Vietnamese.

She never expected that the singer would bring her such a surprise.

So they crossed out the song they had prepared and replaced it with the name of another song.

Vietnamese songs seem to suit her better than Mandarin songs.

"Alright, you can go back now. We'll wait for your agent's instructions regarding the follow-up work."

"When you go out, please call the second singer in for me."

Darlin didn't dare ask about the audition results, fearing it would displease Jiang Qin, so she could only leave first.

After leaving the recording studio, she said to the boy sitting closest to the studio, "It's your turn. Go in."
