HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 52 [052] Successfully guiding Zhou Jielun to progress, draw chance +1
When Qi Yuan slammed his hand on the small table, not only Zhou Jielun, but even Wu Zhongxian was startled.

This step wasn't included in the rehearsal.

He thought Qi Yuan was really about to lose her temper.

As a result, Qi Yuan did a complete 180-degree turn, not only praising Zhou Jielun for her good revisions, but also giving her the highest score.

To be honest, this dramatic reversal was very entertaining.

Wu Zhongxian was a very good person at controlling the situation. He caught Qi Yuan's impromptu performance, patted his chest, and looked relieved: "I was really a little scared just now. I thought A-Yuan was going to rush up and punch Zhou. Zhou, are you scared?"

The audience was amused by Wu Zhongxian's exaggerated expressions.

In the subsequent composing and composition stages, Qi Yuan gave Zhou Jielun relatively high scores.

However, he wasn't the only judge; Tao Ze had a different opinion.

Tao Ze gave Zhou Jielun a relatively low score.

Qi Yuan remembered very clearly that in her previous life, it was because Tao Ze gave Zhou Jielun a low score that Zhou Jielun could only get second place.

Huang Yuxun won first place and later became Jay Chou's music director. He is the guy who often appears in Jay Chou's songs, and he composed the music for "Christmas Star".

After gaining fame, Chou Chieh-lun has mentioned in public on several occasions that she only came in second place when she participated in the talent show, which shows that she still cares about this matter.

Fortunately, Qi Yuan gave Zhou Jielun a high score this time, and Zhou Jielun's final score was slightly better than Huang Yuxun's, successfully winning first place in this episode of "Super Newcomer King".

This gave young Jay Chou tremendous encouragement. Finally, someone recognized his music, and that person was a popular musician like Qi Yuan.

"I am so grateful to Teacher Qi Yuan. You have given me tremendous encouragement. I will never forget today." Zhou Jielun was very excited after winning first place.

Tao Ze glanced at Qi Yuan. He felt that Huang Yuxun performed better, and he didn't understand why Qi Yuan favored Zhou Jielun.

Qi Yuan glanced at him, thinking to himself, "You're secretly happy, kid."

Without me, you would be constantly brought up and criticized in the future.

Musical appreciation is inherently subjective; some people prefer jazz, while others prefer classical music.

Therefore, Tao Ze believes that perhaps Qi Yuan and he simply have different aesthetic tastes. It is reasonable that he favors Huang Yuxun while Qi Yuan favors Zhou Jielun.

After the recording of the program ended.

Tao Ze pulled out a copy of today's entertainment newspaper, a smug look on his face: "So it turns out you and I are kindred spirits. I like picking up girls just like you. We can go to a bar for drinks sometime."

The newspaper featured a photo of a man and a woman kissing in front of a window.

Taiwanese model rides bicycle for 12 hours

Popular singer Qi Yuan played video games with girls, but one night of intense gaming wasn't enough.

These thought-provoking headlines are very much in line with the Hong Kong and Taiwan media's style of always trying to make a splash.

Warner has responded to this matter: the news is untrue!

Lin Chih-ling's modeling agency issued a statement saying that Lin Chih-ling was invited to participate in Qi Yuan's music video in the second half of the year, and the two only talked about the script in a coffee shop and had no private contact.

The paparazzi have no evidence to prove that the figures kissing are Qi Yuan and Lin Zhiling.

However, this incident brought a huge amount of exposure to Lin Chih-ling, the young model.

Her photos and name frequently appear in the public eye, and her net worth and appearance fees have skyrocketed several times over.

Lin Chih-ling called Chi Yuan last night to thank him, saying that she had struggled in the modeling industry for nine years, but it was not as good as having one night of fun with Chi Yuan.

"Actually, I wasn't home that night. They probably photographed my younger brother, Qi Fu." Qi Yuan glanced at the newspaper and tossed it back to Tao Ze.

Tao Ze pointed at Qi Yuan with a knowing smile: "That's what I always say. Those things were done by my twin brother Tao Jiji, and have nothing to do with me, Tao Ze."

Although Qi Yuan stole most of the glory of Tao Ze leading the R&B trend, the two still got along quite well.

Because Tao Ze is a second-generation rich kid and a second-generation star, his first album sold very well in 97, but he slowly delayed until 99 to release his second album.

He doesn't take his career that seriously; enjoying life and dating are probably more important to him. Making music and releasing albums are just hobbies.

After exchanging contact information, Tao Ze extended a second invitation: "Remember to look me up next time you come to Taiwan. I'll take you to the best bar in Taiwan." Qi Yuan saved the number and put her phone in her pocket: "Forget it. I can tell from your past girlfriends that the places you go to aren't high-quality."

Tao Ze: "..."

You curse again!
That was a really painful blow.

Tao Ze wanted to argue that it wasn't that the places he went to were of low quality, but that he was too ugly to date truly high-quality beauties.

After thinking about it seriously, I decided to forget it and not bother explaining. Explaining it would only make me look more embarrassed.

Qi Yuan waved his hand: "Actually, I was just joking. I'm going back to the mainland early tomorrow morning. See you next time."

Of the four men—Zhou, Wang, Tao, and Lin—Tao Ze was the most dashing.

Actually, Tao Ze has dated quite a few beautiful women.

This year, Tao Ze met Ms. Liu Yingpao, who is the Melody in the song "Melody".

Melody later played the role of class teacher Tian Xin in "KO One", and was the goddess of many boys' youth.

Who hasn't dreamed of having a homeroom teacher like Tian Xin?
……

Leave the Starlight Center.

Qi Yuan kept his promise and invited Zhou Jielun and Liu Genghong to play basketball at the basketball court where they first met.

Afterwards, I treated them to authentic Taiwanese bubble tea.

Bubble tea seems to have originated in Taiwan before spreading to the mainland.

Qi Yuan remembers that when bubble tea first entered the mainland market, many bubble tea shops were named "Taipei Bubble Tea" or "Taipei Grass Jelly".

"Why do you always treat us to milk tea? I heard that drinking too much milk tea can make you fat." Zhou Jielun shook the pearl milk tea in her hand.

"..." Qi Yuan had an expression of disbelief, as if he had never seen anything like it before.

It's quite humorous to hear this from Jay Chou; you didn't say it like that later on.

"Does your company have someone named Fang Wenshan? I saw the lyrics he submitted to Warner Music. Could you please tell him that I'll be contacting him for my new Mandarin album later this year?" Qi Yuan took a sip of her milk tea and brought up Fang Wenshan.

He had already seen Fang Wenshan's lyrics, but he had been too busy to deal with them.

Now, through Zhou Jielun, Fang Wenshan has received an answer.

Both signed with Alfa Romeo in the same year. Chou Chieh-lun and Fang Wen-shan had met a few times, but they weren't close.

Strictly speaking, Jay Chou doesn't think much of Fang Wenshan, feeling that he doesn't look like a lyricist.

Fang Wenshan was fine with it, which made Zhou Jielun feel that she could do it too.

Chou Chieh-lun sounded somewhat unsure: "Actually, I'm also a musician, but people say my songs are a bit strange. Andy Lau and A-mei both rejected my songs."

“Write some songs and show them to me later. If I think they’re okay, I’ll pick one to put on my new album.” Qi Yuan patted Zhou Jielun on the shoulder.

Zhou Jielun composed the music for him, and Fang Wenshan wrote the lyrics for him.

Years later, when fans unearth this, it will be a really nice Easter egg.

Moreover, if Fang Wenshan and Zhou Jielun make progress together, the system's rewards will definitely be very generous.

Just now, the long-absent system notification sound rang out, more than once.

[Number of draws available: 3]

As he prepares to return to the mainland, in addition to his newfound fame, Qi Yuan has reaped another great reward.
