Huayu: Were you ever a top star before writing nonsense?

"The forest fish is out."

"So handsome!"

"Lin fish, Lin fish!"

"Fish Daddy! Fish Daddy!"

Inside the theater, the students showed their enthusiasm with applause and screams. Some students held up support signs prepared in advance by Blue Phoenix Company, which had the main characters' names written on them.

The recording of the music video officially began the moment Shen Can appeared on stage.

For this shoot, two camera positions were prepared: one aimed at the stage, and the other mainly to capture the reactions of the judges and the audience.

The students' enthusiasm is consistent with the description in the novel. In the novel's plot, the audience at this time is unaware of the dark secrets and desperate situation the protagonist is facing. They are simply showing their enthusiasm based on their long-standing liking for the protagonist and their anticipation for the protagonist's original song later.

The atmosphere on site was created just like that.

Shen Can walked at a moderate pace, heading straight to the center of the stage, where a high stool was placed.

His gaze swept over the celebrity judges and the audience, his expression calm.

The celebrity judges and actors each showcased their acting skills.

Yang Rong, who plays the leading lady Yang Ming, slightly furrows her brow.

Guo Jinfei, who plays the talented singer Fei Yang, smiles and seems to be in a good mood. In the novel, he is a minor villain who opposes the protagonist many times, such as criticizing the protagonist's lyrics and music as being subpar, bad songs and music, and lacking any expectations.

What good is being exceptionally talented? Without connections, you won't go far.

The main character is about to be eliminated, so he is smiling.

In reality, he was just jealous.

This point is clearly portrayed by Shen Can in the novel.

The Heavenly King [Liu Zhenhua] is played by Gu Yi'an himself.

Liu Zhenhua's attitude towards the protagonist is one of regret, but that's all. He won't risk offending the production team and investors by helping the protagonist.

Gu Yi'an grasped this point very well.

The last celebrity judge was Jiang Wanning, played by Wan Qian.

At that moment, when Shen Can walked to the bar stool, she stared directly into his eyes without any hesitation.

Then, she picked up the microphone.

As the star mentor of the main character, she has a speech to encourage the main character before the performance.

The theater quickly fell silent, followed by Wan Qian's calm and textured voice. Her voice, in certain contexts, creates a restrained and aloof quality that resonates with the "cool" visual image.

"Lin Yu, if... this is your last performance on the show, is there anything you'd like to say to the audience?"

"Leaving is not the end. No matter where I am, I will shine. I hope everyone can continue to support me," Shen Can replied, holding the microphone.

"I have unwavering faith that you can become a shining superstar in the music industry, but I hope even more that you can make it to the end of the show. I have complete faith in you; you have the talent. What's the name of the song you're performing today?"

"An original song titled 'Sorrow'."

"The song 'Sorrow'... Are you the composer and lyricist?"

Wan Qian raised her voice, her emotions becoming somewhat agitated. In the novel, Jiang Wanning did exactly the same thing.

—A doting husband

As a superstar, she makes no secret of her appreciation and protection for the protagonist, a behavior that makes many novel fans exclaim how sweet the Ning-Yu CP is.

"yes!"

"That's really impressive! Please begin your performance!"

bang.

As soon as Wan Qian finished speaking, the lights in the theater quickly dimmed, leaving only a faint white light hanging down from directly above the stage and falling on Shen Can.

Shen Can sat down on the high stool, and the entire theater became quiet.

Many students and teachers looked at Shen Can on the stage with anticipation on their faces. Although it was just a music video shoot, their anticipation for Shen Can's new song was genuine.

The lyrics of the song "Sorrow" alone are already a masterpiece, making it instantly appealing.

What will the actual finished product look like?

Meanwhile, Shen Can recalled some of the comments on the live video of this song from his previous life.

"At first, nobody paid attention to this original song."

"At this point, the players were still unaware of the seriousness of the problem."

"game over."

"Even someone like me who follows boy band idols was impressed by his talent."

"They have no idea they are about to witness a golden age of music."

"..."

"breathe……"

Faint cheers rose from the audience, and Shen Can's heart grew calmer and calmer.

"You will also witness the birth of a golden hit," Shen Can thought to himself as he glanced at the teachers, students, and senior students below the stage.

He was very confident about this.

next second.

The bright yet slightly melancholic prelude echoed through the theater, and it was clear that the prelude was mainly played by a combination of piano and guitar.

Shen Can lowered his head, closed his eyes, and brought the microphone to his mouth.

When you step into this place of joy,

Carry all your dreams and aspirations on your back.

Various faces, various makeup

No one remembers what you look like.

In this part of the song, Shen Can did not deliberately show off his skills, nor did he use his "ethereal voice". Instead, he used his natural timbre to tell the story.

Someone once said, "The height of art stems from the cruelty of society."

When Mao Buyi created this song, he combined his past life experiences with his encounters on the show "The Coming One," such as having no background, difficulty in getting ahead, and the show's behind-the-scenes manipulation. Therefore, it resonates strongly with people and touches their hearts.

Shen Can also felt the same way.

Isn't society a bigger arena? In his past life, he plunged headlong into the fringes of the film and television industry to pursue his dream of becoming a screenwriter. He encountered all sorts of people and desperately tried to get an opportunity, even if the chance of success was pitifully small...

Even so, he still couldn't make it big.

Society is cruel; often, your efforts won't guarantee a good outcome.

That's really fucking ridiculous.

Shen Can continued singing, her voice, full of storytelling, drifting through the air.

After three rounds of drinks, you're in the corner.

Stubbornly singing bitter songs.

Listen to it being drowned out by the noise.

You pick up your glass and say to yourself.

Shen Can's singing voice is full of vicissitudes and bitterness.

That is the pain of having one's talent buried.

This is also the meaning expressed in the lyrics.

Why did Xue Zhiqian defend Mao Buyi so fiercely on the show "The Coming One"? Shen Can probably believes that a large part of the reason is that he saw his past self in Mao Buyi.

Lao Xue is a singer, a singer who was buried for a long time, but he became popular not because of his songs, but because of his identity as a comedian.

Mao Buyi was lucky to meet his mentor.

But I don't have that kind of luck.

Shen Can's singing here conveys even stronger emotions than Mao Buyi's.

This moment.

The judges in the audience had various expressions.

Yang Rong shook her head slightly, tears welling up in her eyes.

She was acting, but she was also genuinely moved and empathized with Shen Can.

Despite having debuted many years ago and participated in numerous productions, he has always remained a supporting actor and has never become famous.

People remember the characters she played, but not her name.

Wan Qian pursed her lips. She was also affected by the emotions, but based on Jiang Wanning's behavior in the book, she had to suppress her emotions at this time.

Guo Jinfei was the same; he also needed to suppress his emotions. The character he played was envious, jealous, and resentful of the protagonist's talent. Therefore, his expression was one of frustration, with furrowed brows and downturned lips, as if all his happiness had vanished.

Gu Yi'an, on the other hand, was simply shocked, his eyes wide open as if he had seen something unbelievable.

For a veteran actor like him, it's far too easy.

The other students and teachers were free to improvise, with no acting requirements, but at that moment, almost everyone had goosebumps.

Shen Can's singing skills were already impressive, and he also had some system talents that enhanced his stage presence, such as [perfect pitch], [emotional resonance], and [stage magnetism].

The emotions conveyed in the song will be felt by the audience even more intensely.

Every line of Shen Can's singing seemed to resonate deep within their hearts.

Just then, the climax arrived.

All emotions exploded instantly.

"One cup to the rising sun, one cup to the moonlight."

It awakens my longing and softens the cold window.

Therefore, one can fly against the wind without looking back.

I am not afraid of rain in my heart or frost in my eyes.

One cup to my hometown, one cup to the distant land.

It protects my kindness and urges me to grow.

Therefore, the journey between north and south was no longer long.

The soul no longer has nowhere to rest...
