Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

After dinner, everyone continued their "fireside chat".

During this time, Liu Xianhua asked Gu Zhiyan for advice on music-related issues.

Although Gu Zhiyan's songs are all "borrowed," the theoretical knowledge of music that the system has given him is absolutely abundant, and there is basically nothing he doesn't understand.

Before long, Liu Xianhua, who already idolized Gu Zhiyan, looked at him with utter adoration.

When the topic of music came up, everyone else was also very enthusiastic.

Huang Lei said with a sigh, "When I was young, I was a singer too."

"Teacher Huang has sung songs?" Peng Yuchang asked in surprise.

"That's right. Back in the day, I released five albums and captivated countless young girls."

Speaking of this, Huang Lei looked very proud.

Huang Lei was quite handsome when he was young, but looking at this greasy middle-aged man in front of us, one can't help but sigh: Time is a cruel mistress!

"Speaking of which, I'm also a singer," He Jiong immediately chimed in.

"I've heard Teacher He's songs."

Peng Yuchang even started singing as he spoke.

Gardenias are in bloom, so beautiful, so white.

This is the season, we will be leaving...

Others joined in the singing, and surprisingly, He Jiong's song is quite popular.

After everyone finished their song, Da Tiantian eagerly raised her hand and said, "I used to be a singer too, and I've released albums."

"Tian Tian has also released an album?" He Jiong asked curiously.

"Yes, yes, I released my first solo EP right after my debut."

Well, this album didn't make much of a splash, but Da Tian Tian was secretly pleased because she had once shared the same identity as Gu Zhi Yan as a singer.

"So it seems that everyone here, except for Director Xu and Peng Peng, is a singer," He Jiong remarked.

Xu Zheng immediately retorted, unconvinced: "How am I not a singer? I've sung before, okay!"

"Don't try to piggyback on my fame. Just because someone sings a song on any stage doesn't make you a singer!" Huang Lei said to Xu Zheng without any mercy.

"I think you're getting old and your memory's failing you, Chef Huang. We sang a movie theme song together back then," Xu Zheng retorted directly.

"Really? I don't remember." Huang Lei looked puzzled.

"Let me sing you a couple of lines."

Xu Zheng cleared his throat and began to sing.

"Baby, can you hear me? I'm speaking softly to you;

Seeing your smiling face is the most beautiful picture I've ever seen.

……

Xu Zheng's singing skills are really not that great. If he were to release an album, he would definitely need a million-dollar sound engineer.

Huang Lei slapped his forehead: "Oh, I remember now, back then, you, me, Liu Yiwei, Tong Dawei, the four of us sang together, that movie was called Mars Baby... what was it again? I can't quite remember."

Xu Zheng continued, "Mars Baby: Mars is fine."

"Yes, yes, I think that's the name. It must have been about ten years ago, right?"

"That happened in 09."

"You bald guy have a good memory, but you're just an amateur. Singing a movie theme song doesn't make you a singer." Huang Lei glanced at Xu Zheng with a sense of superiority.

"So what if you've only released a few albums? What's with all the arrogance? Go ahead and release another one now, I'll see!"

"I……"

"It's the young people's world now, we old guys are falling behind the times," He Jiong quickly interrupted, seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, and then turned to Gu Zhiyan and Liu Xianhua, "Gu, Dahua, you two are both singer-songwriters, why don't you give us a performance right now?"

"Yes, yes, give us a song, let's see what we've got."

Upon hearing He Jiong's suggestion, everyone immediately became interested and started enthusiastically encouraging him.

"I'm fine."

Liu Xianhua believed he had musical talent, so he wouldn't miss this opportunity to showcase himself and quickly nodded in agreement.

Seeing this situation, especially seeing Tian Tian's expectant eyes, Gu Zhiyan could only agree and nodded, saying, "Alright, but we can't just do whatever we want. Teacher He, give us a topic."

Liu Xianhua: ...

As expected of Brother Yan, he really knows how to increase the intensity right now!

He Jiong thought for a moment and said, "Let's use that topic we were just talking about, um, what do we do when facing adversity?"

"The more specific the topic, the harder it is to write, especially for impromptu composition. It's not that simple. How about this, just write an inspirational song. It doesn't have to be a complete piece; just a short verse will do," Huang Lei said candidly.

"Okay, let's do it the way Teacher Huang says."

People generally agree with Huang Lei's statement.

"I need to get ready first." Liu Xianhua said and ran into the house in a flash.

A moment later, he came out with paper and pen, and handed one to Gu Zhiyan. Then he started scribbling on the table.

Gu Zhiyan looked at the pen and paper in her hand and really wanted to say that it was unnecessary.

But then I thought, when it's time to put on a show, I should at least do it, otherwise it would be too shocking.

So he started scribbling and drawing as if he were doing it.

The two were writing songs on the side while the others continued chatting, but in much lower voices, afraid of disturbing their creative process.

After more than half an hour, Da Hua was the first to put down his pen and said to everyone, "I'm ready."

Everyone turned their attention to Gu Zhiyan.

Facing everyone's gaze, Gu Zhiyan said, "I'm ready too, we can start now, Da Hua, you go first."

"Okay, I'll go first."

Da Hua didn't refuse, strummed his guitar, and started singing.

When the song ended, everyone applauded.

"Dahua is good. For an impromptu creation in such a short time, the level of completion is quite impressive," Huang Lei commented, adopting the demeanor of a senior.

"Thank you for the compliment, Teacher Huang. I know I still have a long way to go. My skill level is limited, and this is all I can do right now," Da Hua said humbly.

He Jiong chimed in, "Don't underestimate yourself. You're really good. You're so young and you can already write your own songs. That alone puts you ahead of at least 90% of your peers."

"Who are those 90% of peers that Teacher He mentioned?" Xu Zheng asked with a sly smile.

"Ahem... Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's listen to Xiao Gu's songs first."

How could someone as shrewd as He Jiong fall for Xu Zheng's trick? He turned to Gu Zhiyan and said, "Come on, Gu, let everyone admire your masterpiece."

"It's nothing special, I'm just singing casually, everyone can just listen and have some fun," Gu Zhiyan waved his hand, "Come on, Dahua, lend me your guitar for a bit."

Gu Zhiyan took the guitar, gathered his emotions, and began to sing:

Perhaps the world is just like this.

I'm still on my way.

No one can tell

……

The light of dawn

We will cross the darkness

I can break through all fear.
