Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

To be precise, it's the accompaniment!

The song title that Liu Haochun just mentioned that can't be found... Jiang Yang's sudden action... I remember when I first started practicing "Calorie," there was no such song in the karaoke bars in Yancheng.

It was posted online, and Yang Ge then found agents and signed contracts with major KTV brands before the songs were added to the library.

Each performance costs money.

Yang Chaoyue understood.

This is a new song composed by Jiang Yang, sung by Liu Haochun.

She stopped requesting songs and looked in Liu Haochun's direction.

really.

Seeing Liu Haochun holding the microphone, he exchanged a glance with Jiang Yang, nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and then closed his eyes.

I've seen Liu Haochun act.

Naturally, he knew what Liu Haochun was up to.

Get into character!
Even when singing, you have to get into character.

That is, to put emotion into a song.

"Chaoyue, what is Jiang Yang doing?" Bai Lu asked, leaning over. "It's Hao Chun's birthday, and he's just putting on an act."

"Just watch."

Yang Chaoyue responded and stared at Jiang Yang.

"Hey, what's Hao Chun doing again? She looks like she's about to put on an act," Bai Lu said.

"Don't make any noise."

Bai Lu then looked at Tian Xiwei.

They discovered that Tian Xiwei was holding up her phone and recording a video.

It was recorded next to Liu Haochun.

The footage captures Liu Haochun, who is holding a microphone and preparing his emotions, and Jiang Yang, who is sitting in the corner at the piano bench, about to play.

Bai Lu realized something: "Chao Yue, do you and Xi Wei know something?"

"You'll see when you see it. Bai Lu, you're ruining the atmosphere, you know? Can't you just stay silent or you'll suffocate?"

"It can make you crazy."

Zhong Shujia was oblivious to what was happening on Jiang Yang's side, as they were discussing the difference between a TV producer and a film and television producer.

Both are producers, but the difference is huge. One is responsible for broadcast safety, while the other is responsible for controlling the production team's spending.

The melodious piano music played by Jiang Yang began to play.

They didn't care.

Very normal.

It's not singing.

After all, it's a commercial karaoke session, and no one will pay special attention to a piano piece that has no beginning or end.

There was a microphone near the piano, which was amplified, and I thought it was background music from a song coming from the speakers.

Until Jiang Yang finished playing the prelude.

Liu Haochun opened her eyes, holding the microphone, and looked in Jiang Yang's direction. Gone was the timidity she had shown while cowering in the corner. Looking towards Jiang Yang, she swallowed lightly, and the first line of her song floated out:
"There's so much I want to say that I can't remember it all; my heart is all crumpled up and stolen away by someone."

The moment I started singing, I suddenly felt my throat tighten.

Those words that were weighing on my heart.

The confusion of staring blankly at the ceiling late at night.

It all surged up along with the melody.

Bai Lu, who had been babbling on and on, suddenly stopped talking.

She stared at Liu Haochun and noticed that this girl, who usually spoke softly, now had bright and determined eyes.

It wasn't a deliberate display of determination.

It's like the clear sky after the rain, with a touch of damp fragility, yet hiding a light that refuses to be extinguished.

It has a bright and clear quality to it.

Bai Lu said softly, "Hao Chun sings so well." She couldn't tell whether Liu Hao Chun sang off-key or not.

Because I've never heard this song before.

I just chatted with Yang Chaoyue for a few minutes and I learned that this song was specially written by Jiang Yang for Liu Haochun.

But you can tell that Liu Haochun sang very steadily.

The breath flowed along with the lyrics, steady and pure, as if untouched by the world.

Bai Lu turned her head and nudged Yang Chaoyue with her elbow: "Chaoyue, Hao Chun can sing so well? She could be a singer, why is she competing with us for a role?"

Bai Lu hadn't finished speaking.

Yang Chaoyue put his arm around Bai Lu's neck and covered her mouth.

Zhong Shujia was the first to notice something was wrong.

He turned his head to look at Jiang Yang, his brows furrowed: "Why is this guy suddenly playing the piano? I asked him to sing, I knew this kid..."

Chen Jing'an suddenly interrupted, "You played so well! Is Jiang Yang an art student? Does he play the piano? He must have a grade 10 certificate. Which music school did he attend? Did he attend the Central Conservatory of Music, or study under a professor at the National Conservatory of Music? Or did he study at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music?"

Hear the words.

Zhong Shujia stood there, completely stunned.

Jiang Yang can actually play the piano?
And judging from Old Chen's tone, his skill level isn't low either.
Old Chen's barrage of questions came at him like a machine gun, leaving him completely bewildered.

He'd worked with Jiang Yang for so long and knew that the kid was excellent at acting and singing. When did he discover this hidden talent?
Zhong Shujia glanced at Chen Jing'an, and knew what was going on.

Old Chen doesn't praise people casually, because when he does, he's not just being polite; he means it.

Old Chen himself had played the piano in his early years and obtained many certificates. He had a very discerning ear. The fact that Old Chen was so serious about asking about the schools, even listing the three top schools, the Central Conservatory of Music, the National Conservatory of Music, and the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, shows that Jiang Yang's piece really touched his heart.

The problem is, in my memory, Jiang Yang is still a high school student!
I've been fooled by this kid again!

Zhong Shujia cursed inwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.

He was just a roughneck who worked his way up on film sets.

Directing, staging, and perfecting actors' performances are all in his comfort zone; he can handle them with his eyes closed.

But when it comes to art, especially delicate things like music, he is completely clueless and knows nothing about it.

In the past, when filming scenes involving music theory and musical instruments, he would always pay for a professional instructor to supervise him, and he never had to worry about it himself.

Now look what's happened! There's a master hidden right next to him, and he's completely unaware of it. It's embarrassing to even tell anyone.

Old Chen, how could he possibly answer that question?
If he simply said he didn't know, it would make him seem like an incompetent director, so unfamiliar with his own actors.

No, no, you absolutely can't say that.

Zhong Shujia quickly planned in her mind that after this matter was over, she would definitely pull Jiang Yang aside in private and ask him properly where he learned the piano and why he kept it so secret.

A shrewd idea suddenly popped into my head.

From now on, when we need music-related scenes on set, why bother hiring anyone? We have to bring Jiang Yang over to fill in; he's a free music consultant, so why not use him!

Her thoughts raced, and Zhong Shujia immediately wiped the surprise off her face, quickly changing her tune to follow Chen Jing'an's lead:

"I knew this kid would be good at shooting, and I wasn't wrong about him."

Done.

He couldn't help but ask another question, actually wanting to confirm it again, since he couldn't tell the difference between good and bad, and could only hope that Old Chen would give him a definite answer: "Is he really that good? To be honest, don't overpraise him."

“Better than me.” Chen Jing’an said without the slightest hesitation, his tone resolute.

"real or fake?"

Zhong Shujia was startled again upon hearing this, and subconsciously pursed her lips, feeling a mix of emotions.

Jiang Yang, that kid, has been hiding his true abilities too well!

The last time we filmed a scene where a supporting actor played an instrument, it was added by the production team at the last minute. Everyone on set was dumbfounded. No one knew how to read sheet music. The actor stared at the piano keys and tried to find the right key for a long time, but he couldn't. In the end, he had to pay out of his own pocket to hire a music teacher to save the day. Otherwise, that scene would have taken a whole day to film.

Jiang Yang was clearly there at the time, just standing by and watching, without uttering a single word or even giving a glance!
So this kid was just pretending not to know anything because he thought the money wasn't enough and wanted to make a fool of himself.
Zhong Shujia thought about it more and more and realized that this was the case, feeling both angry and amused.

This kid's acting is really good; he even fooled a director like me who deals with acting every day.

Okay, you win.

Zhong Shujia stared at Jiang Yang's profile in front of the piano, secretly vying with him. "You'll get all the music theory-related scenes in the script, not a single one of them! You'll take them all!" (End of Chapter)
