Entertainment: A whirlwind marriage with a fairy-like mother at the start!

"That depends on your performance." Yu Le glanced at him, her tone neither hurried nor slow.

"Don't worry, boss! I'll definitely do my job well!" Chang Shilei confidently assured him.

He pushed up his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses darted around, as if he had suddenly realized something, and his tone became hesitant.

"Boss, so my next task is to record a song for Sister Sisi?"

He subconsciously used the honorific "sister," even though Liu Qianqian was several years younger than him.

"Yes." Yu Le was too lazy to correct his way of addressing him and nodded.

Chang Shilei paused for a moment, pushed up his glasses, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Although Liu Qianqian's face is indeed striking, in the eyes of a music purist like him, these two songs are on a much higher level.

Especially "Love Me or Him".

That sense of being torn apart, that hysterical outburst, requires a mature singer who has truly experienced heartbreak to perform it.

Liu Qianqian?

What kind of singing style can a teenage girl produce?

A sweet and cute idol image suits her well, but to handle a work of this caliber...

"Mr. Yu, please forgive my bluntness." Chang Shilei hesitated for a moment, but still spoke his mind.

"Sissi's voice is indeed very good, but these two songs... especially 'Love Me or Him,' require extremely high levels of singing skills and emotional expression. If not handled well, they could ruin the song."

He put it very tactfully.

The translation is: You're wasting resources.

Yu Le couldn't help but laugh when she saw his constipated expression.

"Who told you these two songs were for Sissi?"

Chang Shilei was taken aback.

"Isn't it for Sister Sisi?"

"Of course not." Yu Le pulled out a few crumpled A4 sheets of paper from the drawer and slammed them on the table. "These three are the ones prepared for Qianqian."

Chang Shilei subconsciously took the papers.

The first one.

Song title: Warmth.

He quickly glanced at the melody and lyrics.

It can all be true, I'll believe whatever you say...

This song...

sweet.

It's cloyingly sweet.

But it's not that cheap, cloying sweetness; rather, it's a warm, comforting kind of sweetness.

The arrangement idea instantly took shape in his mind.

The soundtrack features an acoustic guitar base, accompanied by upbeat drumbeats and a touch of string embellishment.

Fresh and bright, like a spring breeze.

This is the perfect song for Liu Qianqian!

He flipped to the second page.

Song title: A Little Happiness.

The intro is clearly a piano piece.

The melody is getting a bit angsty...

But the cruelty was restrained, a kind of subtle regret and relief.

The key change in the chorus is handled extremely cleverly, possessing both explosive power and avoiding any sense of overdoing it.

If this song were used as background music in a movie...

Chang Shilei swallowed hard.

Absolutely.

He flipped to the third page.

Song title: "The First Dream".

This song...

Inspirational song?

But it's not the kind of motivational slogans; rather, it's a sense of power found in a calm narrative.

The arrangement can be very rich and full.

Guitar, bass, drums, strings, piano... bring them all.

Especially in the chorus, you must convey the spirit of "I am not afraid of being blocked by millions of people, I am only afraid of surrendering myself".

Chang Shilei's hands started shaking again.

Three poems.

Three more hit songs!

Moreover, each song perfectly matches Liu Qianqian's age, voice, and image.

"Warm and Sweet" takes a fresh and sweet route, which reinforces her "national first love" persona.

"A Little Happiness" takes the route of emotional resonance, which broadens its audience.

"The First Dream" takes a positive approach, which enhances her popularity among the public.

If these three songs are released at the same time...

Chang Shilei dared not even think about it.

That scene was absolutely nuclear-level.

"Mr. Yu..." His voice was a little hoarse, "These three poems... you wrote them casually too?"

"Yeah, right." Yu Le shrugged, looking completely matter-of-fact. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing much..."

Chang Shilei felt a mix of emotions. "You, an amateur, throw out hit songs like cabbages. What are we, who have painstakingly studied lyrics and music, compared to you?"

Boss, please stop using your supernatural powers!

"Then...then 'The Beauty' and 'Love Me or Him'..."

"I'm looking for collaborators. These two songs are too stylistically strong; only a few people can handle them. By the way, don't you know Hu Yanbing?"

Chang Shilei paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

"I know him! Of course I know him!"

Although he and Hu Yanbing were not close, they had at least worked together.

Moreover, based on his understanding of Hu Yanbing's current musical taste, if he were to hear these two songs...

That would absolutely drive you crazy.

"That makes things easier." Yu Le took out a business card from the drawer and handed it to Chang Shilei. "Help me arrange a meeting with him. Tell him I have two songs I'd like to collaborate on with him."

"Red Beauty" was originally Hu Yanbing's song; it was just released earlier for him. As for "Love Me or Him"...

Let this be compensation from David Tao for Hu Yanbing for the infamous "Oh Ah Ah~" car accident scene when he was helping out in his past life.

Chang Shilei took the business card, his eyes filled with admiration.

"However..." Yu Le changed the subject, "The most important thing now is to record Xixi's three songs first."

Zhang Jizhong had already called Yu Le to urge him to bring Liu Qianqian back to film the movie. He needed to get Liu Qianqian to record the three songs as soon as possible, since he had promised Li Ming.

In the days that followed, despite its name, Salty Fish Entertainment was bustling with activity in its recording studio.

Liu Qianqian began recording songs under the guidance of Chang Shilei.

With Yu Le, the "original author," overseeing things, Chang Shilei didn't dare to go too far with his fancy arrangements. The quality of the recorded product was quite stable, and Yu Le was very satisfied after listening to it.

A few days later, one afternoon.

Hu Yanbing stormed into Salty Fish Studio.

In the recording studio, after playing two songs.

Hu Yanbing took off his headphones, and his whole body looked like it had just been electrified, with his hair almost standing on end.

He gripped the sheet music for "Beauty" so tightly that his knuckles turned slightly blue, then turned to look at Yu Le sitting on the sofa.

"This song... is interesting."

Hu Yanbing tried his best to lower his voice, but the words still trembled violently.

As a rising star in R&B, his sensitivity to rhythm and melody is top-notch.

This song, "Red Beauty," is exactly to his aesthetic sensibilities!

Combining traditional Chinese opera vocal techniques with R&B is such a wild and unconventional approach, but it's also right up his alley!

And then there's that song "Love Me or Him," the heart-wrenching agonizing feeling—just looking at the sheet music and humming a couple of lines makes my scalp tingle!

"Since Professor Hu likes it, shall we have a chat?"

Yu Le lazily changed her posture and casually patted Yang Nuo, who was sitting upright next to her.

"Director Yang, get to work."
