My wife is in my arms

Chapter 815 Talking about Seven
Come to the lounge.

Xu Qingya had already arrived and was chatting enthusiastically with Zhang Xiyu.

"Director, I heard from Xu Qingya that you sold a song to her. When are you going to sell one to me too?!"

Upon seeing Zhang You appear, Zhang Xiyu smiled and asked.

"We'll talk about it when I need the money."

Zhang You gave a casual reply.

After a while, the host, Liu Ling, came in carrying a fruit platter, followed by Zhong Xia. As she put the fruit platter down, Liu Ling said to Zhang You, "Teacher Zhang, I heard from the staff that your disciple was here, so I brought her over."

As a host who had been in the industry for so long, Liu Ling naturally understood Zhang You's meaning and quickly added, "Don't worry, I'll have Zhong Xia sit next to me. If the camera catches her, I'll talk to Director Ning and ask him to cut Zhong Xia's scenes."

Thank you so much!

Zhang You quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Don't be so polite"

Liu Ling replied with a smile.

Upon hearing Liu Ling's words, everyone turned their attention to Zhong Xia. Xu Qingya knew that her older brother had just taken on a disciple, but she was unaware that he had another disciple.

Zhongxia appeared unusually reserved in the presence of everyone.

My disciple is rather shy.

After saying that, Zhang You introduced Zhongxia to everyone, and Zhongxia obediently greeted them one by one.

After Zhongxia finished speaking, Zhang You asked her to sit next to him. Everyone present knew that Zhang You was beginning to pave the way for his disciple. Liu Fei looked at Zhongxia for a long time before finally asking, "Your voice is quite unique!"

"It sounds a lot like your voice."

Zhang You replied with a smile.

Now everyone understood why Zhang You had accepted this female disciple, who wasn't particularly attractive, as his student. Seeing that Zhongxia still seemed very nervous, Zhang You didn't try to comfort her. He had brought Zhongxia here today so that she could get used to things beforehand.

To make a living in the entertainment industry, you need to have a certain level of mental fortitude. First, you have to overcome the awkwardness of facing strangers, because only then will you dare to face a wider audience.

"real!?"

Liu Fei was a little skeptical.

"No, you should take it back and test it later."

Zhang You said with a smile.

"Master"

Midsummer called out somewhat uneasily.

"Don't worry, she's a vegetarian, she doesn't eat people."

Zhang You laughed.

Liu Fei chose to ignore Zhang You's words. She knew perfectly well why he had come to her house in the morning for a vegetarian lunch and then preferred to eat at home before going to her house, all for the sake of recording the previous episode. However, she couldn't change her own lifestyle just for his taste.

When the recording began, Qin Tai was the first to appear.

Seeing that Zhong Xia was watching very intently, Zhang You reminded her, "You don't need to deliberately imitate his singing style and stage presence. When you get back, download the sound of ocean waves. Just listen to the sound of the sea surging every day. When you can perfectly interpret the ocean's lament, you'll be considered qualified."

"What do you mean!?"

Liu Fei asked curiously.

Even Wang Lei and Zheng Tiannan turned to look over. This was the first time they had ever heard of this way of practicing singing. Zhang Xiyu and Xu Qingya also looked at Zhang You with confusion.

"The highest level of singing skill is being able to convey different meanings from a single word without needing many lyrics; then you can handle other types of songs effortlessly."

Zhang You began to explain.

"That's simply impossible."

Zheng Tiannan frowned and couldn't help but say something.

“It’s not impossible, but it’s not easy to do,” Zhang You replied, then turned to look at Zhong Xia sitting next to him and said, “But I hope you’ll give it a try. Listen to the echoes of the sea and the sound of the waves crashing. If that doesn’t work, then… go to the beach with Bai Xiaoxiao more often. Don’t rush it, you can take your time.”

"kindness"

Zhongxia nodded.

After that, Zhang You stopped talking. He could make Zhongxia famous by copying her songs, but Zhang You hoped that this girl would go further. And if she wanted to go further, she would have to produce a real world-famous song.

Although many in the music industry have praised Liu Fei's voice as "heavenly," it is not actually heavenly. True heavenly voices do not need to be elaborated with lyrics; simple singing is the best proof of heavenly voices.

Such a performance will not fade over time like other songs. Zhang You knows that the chances of Zhongxia reaching this level are slim, but since he has accepted the role, Zhang You hopes that Zhongxia can go further in the future.

......

One singer after another performed a cover version.

After Zhang You left the dressing room to go on stage, Xu Qingya sat down in Zhang You's seat, smiled, patted Zhong Xia on the shoulder, and said, "I'm your master's sworn brother, so you'll have to call me Second...Second from now on."

Xu Qingya hesitated for a long time, too embarrassed to say the word "uncle." Zhong Xia looked at her with a puzzled expression. After a while, Xu Qingya finally said, "Call me Second Aunt."

Compared to my second uncle, this second aunt sounds a little better.

"Xu Qingya, what are you thinking!?"

Zheng Tiannan couldn't help but laugh and ask, "There are quite a few people in the entertainment industry who have adopted godparents, but someone like you and Zhang You..."

"Teacher Zheng, please don't make fun of me. What can I do if people call me that?"

Xu Qingya said with a helpless expression.

"You've certainly made a great sacrifice for your career."

Zheng Tiannan laughed.

"It's good that you know."

Ever since Zhang You recognized her as his "second brother," Xu Qingya knew that this day would come sooner or later.

Fortunately, he only recognized her as his "second brother," so he was just teased a bit. Unlike other artists, he didn't have to make sacrifices to get resources.

On this point, after a few days of contact, Xu Qingya discovered that her older brother really treated her like a "younger brother" and had no intention of taking advantage of her. Once she confirmed this, Xu Qingya stopped resisting.

Since she could buy songs from her cheap older brother just by being called a few times, Xu Qingya didn't care as long as he didn't make her call him.

At this time.

Zhang You's singing came from the television.

"Thank you for letting me love you so much. I don't need anyone to replace you anymore. Thank you for this relationship, which made me realize my own feelings without even realizing it..."

The conversation in the lounge quieted down.

"Baek-ri's 'Thank You'!?"

Zhang Xiyu asked in surprise, and without waiting for anyone to answer, she exclaimed in an amazed tone, "This revision is too good!" She didn't say anything, because it was true.

Zheng Tiannan glanced at Liu Fei subconsciously.

Last time, Zhang You adapted Liu Fei's "Reclaim" into "Tears in the Wind," and the quality surpassed that of the original singer, Liu Fei. Before that, it was Jiang Yiren, and now it's Bai Li.

Anyway, after Zhang You's adaptation, both the meaning of the lyrics and the singing were improved by more than one level.

After Zhang You finished singing, thunderous applause erupted from the audience. Then, everyone in the dressing room was stunned, because the camera lens suddenly panned to Bai Li.

It turns out the original singer was here today too.

Bai Li reached up and touched her forehead, looking utterly devastated.

Zhongxia's three roommates sat on chairs in the venue, looking at the figure on the stage, and truly felt the immense appeal of their master, Zhongxia, especially since... they could only be there in person, while Zhongxia was backstage.

While they were happy for Midsummer, they also felt a deep sense of envy.
