My wife is in my arms

Chapter 935 Investiture of the Gods (Part 7)

This time.

Even Bai Xiaoxiao, who usually liked to contradict Tu Caiyun and Zhang Li, remained silent.

Even the best teachers at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music are still far behind Mr. Zhang You, who went directly from being a top musician to entering the music scene, becoming a superstar with just one album, and then dominating the music scene with his song "Autumn's Deepening".

Just like teacher Chen Ziming.

She is also a music teacher at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, and her teaching level is not too bad, but she is not famous.

This is equivalent to the teacher possessing only theoretical skills, while Zhang You, the master of Zhongxia, possesses only practical skills.

Besides... Chen Ziming is not the only teacher at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. Although many have entered the music scene and become famous, only a handful have achieved true fame.

Although everyone has their own expertise, and a teacher's primary job is to teach, they teach music, and singing can almost be categorized as one of their professions. Besides... to put it bluntly, if one could become famous in the entertainment industry, who would want to be a humble schoolteacher? The position may be permanent, but the actual income can be tens of millions a year, so the so-called retirement pension is really nothing.

He simply showed me the sea.

Zhongxia recounted exactly what her mentor had said when she went to watch the recording of the second season of "Special Voice" a while ago: "He said that as long as I can sing 'The Ode to the Sea,' all singing techniques will be integrated, and that this is truly top-notch singing ability."

Zhongxia didn't hide anything.

Because even she herself couldn't understand what her master meant.

The ocean ebbs and flows; there's nothing to sing about.

The only thing she didn't tell her roommates was that time when her master and mistress took her to buy a bracelet. Not only did her mistress not let her bring the bracelet back, but she also told her not to mention it when she got back to the dormitory.

Zhongxia wasn't a good student and usually seemed rather dim-witted, but she knew why her teacher's wife did what she did.

If you bring your valuables worth over 400,000 yuan back to the dorm where outsiders frequently come and go, there's no chance they'll be stolen. As for not bringing them back and not letting her talk about it, it's because they don't want her to tell them, which would arouse the envy of her roommates and gradually isolate her.

"An ode to the sea!?"

Tu Caiyun asked in confusion.

"right"

Zhongxia nodded seriously, then rubbed her head and said, "I still don't understand."

Bai Xiaoxiao has been at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music for a while now. Although she often clashes with Tu Caiyun and Zhang Li, everyone treats her well. Zhongxia naturally knows the reason: her teacher is Zhang You.

Previously, her mentor was just a top-notch music creator, but now it's different. He's not only a top-notch musician but also a king of the music scene. She heard Tu Caiyun say that her mentor's album could sell hundreds of millions of copies.

"Is it possible that the so-called 'Ode to the Ocean' is just your master wanting you to sing about a certain feeling the ocean evokes?"

Tu Caiyun said this in an uncertain tone, then added, "Just like in your master's rendition of 'Autumn' tonight, using single words to express the implied meaning."

"..."

Zhongxia, who had been slightly frowning, was taken aback.

“Midsummer, that’s how it should be,” Zhang Li said, tossing aside the martial arts novel she was reading. “Your master didn’t teach you specific singing techniques because he wanted you to be free from any constraints. In martial arts novels, the most powerful thing is often not the routines and moves, but the ability to win without using any moves. Your master only told you these few words because he felt that this was a top-level singing technique that could only be understood intuitively and not explained in words. You need to experience it yourself and gradually understand its profound meaning. If you can do it, you can; if you can’t, you never will.”

Zhang Li, who usually enjoys reading martial arts novels, became increasingly certain. She leaned over the bed and looked at Zhong Xia, saying, "Think about what the ocean evokes!? A turbulent sea is one, a deep and vast sea is another, and a calm sea is yet another. Actually, everyone has an ocean within their heart. The emotions that arise within us are the state of that ocean. When angry, this ocean stirs up waves of hatred; when joyful, it not only becomes calm but is also enveloped by the glow of the horizon—blue sky, white clouds, the deep sea, and a distant view."

Hearing Zhang Li's words.

Zhongxia paused, something flashing through her mind. Just as she was about to listen to Zhang Li's next words, she suddenly said, "Okay! I'm craving seafood."

As soon as Zhang Li said those words, the sudden feeling vanished instantly.

However, even Zhongxia did not realize that... sometimes, a sudden inspiration, if not seized, will disappear without a trace and never reappear.

Some inspirations, like seeds, lie hidden deep within the mind, quietly waiting for the day they sprout.

The night breeze in mid-to-late June brought a wave of heat. After visiting Zhongxia in her dormitory, Chen Ziming did not stay in the school's faculty and staff dormitory to rest, but instead drove home.

The car stereo inside the vehicle played a soul-stirring prelude.

This prelude was the most moving song accompaniment she had heard in years, like standing in the light looking at a faded old photograph, looking back as if in a dream, and seeing it again as nothing.

Besides the great background music, the singing in this song... just as many people say, it's "instantly beautiful" and "touches the soul."

When that "Ah" sounded, Chen Ziming subconsciously started singing along, saying, "Is it the wine growing stronger, or my heart becoming empty? Why do I feel this tremor? In the photograph, where can I project myself into the photograph? I hope to find the rift in time..."

Sing along.

Then I thought of Zhang You's "Goodbye Kiss". Compared to "Autumn's Deepening", "Goodbye Kiss" is a truly popular song.

It was only because Zhang You brought out "Autumn's Deepening" that Chen Ziming was able to create "Goodbye Kiss," otherwise, he believed that the song would have been popular for a long time.

However, even if it were to be accompanied by "Autumn's Deepening", it might not affect the possibility of "Goodbye Kiss" becoming a classic song, because they were both written and sung by the same person.

Before meeting Zhang You, Chen Ziming never imagined that such an outstanding person would appear in the music scene. To excel at one thing proves that this person has worked hard, and to excel at two things proves that this person is not only hardworking but also talented.

Zhang You was able to excel in so many aspects and reach the top level, which made her feel that he was the illegitimate child of God and some woman. Otherwise, why would God favor him so much?

back home.

Her mother did not go to sleep.

She was still chatting with her old friends, and Chen Ziming knew... they were definitely talking about other people's affairs. When she saw her return, Chen Ziming's mother said a few words, hung up the phone, and came out of the room to ask, "Why are you back tonight!?"

"Mom, I'm going to be famous!"

Chen Ziming said this with a smile.

She hasn't released the two songs Zhang You gave her yet, waiting for him to become a big star before releasing them.

Now the time has finally come. These two poems have not only increased in value, but their quality has also improved.
