Rebooting the top stars, starting with Extreme Challenge

Chapter 53 The Trivial Matters Before Sending the Song

Zhang Tianai asked, puzzled, "What do you want to talk about?"

You'll find out what we'll talk about in a bit.

"We can't talk on the street, let's get in the car first."

After getting in the car, Jiang Chengyu asked for Zhang Tianai's hotel address and drove straight there.

The hotel wasn't far from the film crew's location, and we arrived quickly.

The two headed straight for the dining area.

Then... dinner wasn't served.

Humans are inherently lazy.

We're already in the hotel, so I don't want to go out again unless absolutely necessary.

So Zhang Tianai, with a slightly flushed face, suggested to Jiang Chengyu that they order room service from her room.

Jiang Chengyu naturally had no objection to this.

He followed her into Zhang Tianai's room and looked around.

Jiang Chengyu's evaluation was average.

Considering the actress's status, this room is rather shabby.

However, judging from the total investment of "Go Princess Go", the production team still showed some respect for Zhang Tianai.

The hotel's food delivery service is very fast.

Jiang Chengyu had just begun his introduction and hadn't even gotten to the main point when the hotel room door was knocked on by the food delivery staff.

The food was placed on the table.

Jiang Chengyu thought for a moment and then placed the contract granting the performance rights on the table.

Then he picked up his rice bowl and ate.

"Take a look at this contract after you finish eating. If there are no problems, you can sign it."

Zhang Tianai stopped eating: "What is this?"

"Just Once"

"what?"

Seeing Zhang Tianai's surprised expression, Jiang Chengyu raised an eyebrow.

Don't you understand me?

"This is a perpetual performance rights contract for 'Just Once'."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianai put down her chopsticks.

"Someone from your company contacted me."

"I remember I refused."

Jiang Chengyu then put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"That's something I'm curious about too."

Why don't you want it?

Zhang Tianai lowered her head, and after a long while, her voice came out in a muffled tone.

"The way we ended things... I didn't deserve it."

"Because of you, I got this opportunity to be the female lead, and I'm already so... you know."

"I can't ask you for anything more."

"After all... we've only been together for a month."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengyu tapped the table seriously and said in a deep voice, "Raise your head."

When Zhang Tianai raised her head.

Jiang Chengyu looked firmly into her eyes.

"Zhang Tianai, none of what you just said can be a reason for you to refuse this contract."

"No matter what the outcome is for us, or what happens in the future."

"You only need to know one thing."

"You became my girlfriend not because of anything you did, but because I chose you."

"My choice is not cheap."

"From the moment I chose you, this contract belongs to you."

"Don't look at it by the perspective of our outcome; look at it by the perspective of our beginning."

"For me, 'Just Once' embodies our beautiful memories."

"So I want to give it to you."

After she finished speaking, Zhang Tianai's expression visibly relaxed.

But after a long while, Zhang Tianai slowly shook her head and refused.

Jiang Chengyu is not a professional money-giving boy.

Zhang Tianai's two consecutive rejections were quickly wearing down his patience.

"No, can you tell me what you're thinking?"

"You don't agree with what I just said?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianai hurriedly shook her head: "No, that's not how it is!"

"What you just said really touched me, truly."

"But I really can't keep this song; it would be a waste of my time."

"Huh?" Jiang Chengyu gave a classic black guy with a question mark on his face.

"What do you mean?"

"How come I don't understand?"

What do you mean by "a complete waste"?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianai took several deep breaths before mustering her courage to speak.

"I really like 'Just Once,' and what you just said has dispelled my concerns."

"But I really don't need this song."

"I...I...I sing terribly."

"Even if you give it to me, I won't need it, so it's better not to have it."

"If I don't sign this contract, it's as if I don't have it."

"If I don't have it, I don't want it."

"If I sign a contract but still can't use it, I'll be devastated."

Jiang Chengyu's bewildered expression didn't disappear; instead, it deepened as Zhang Tianai spoke.

"You sing terribly?"

Although he hadn't heard Zhang Tianai sing properly during the month they dated, he hadn't heard her sing a proper song.

But in Jiang Chengyu's memory, she had participated in Sisters Who Make Waves in her previous life.

Moreover, from my vague memory, Zhang Tianai was quite popular on Sisters Who Make Waves.

At the same time, Jiang Chengyu had not come across any videos or marketing articles claiming that Zhang Tianai sang badly.

Based on limited information, Zhang Tianai doesn't seem like someone who can't sing at all.

This unscientific!

Seeing Jiang Chengyu's clearly disbelieving expression, Zhang Tianai became anxious.

"Don't take me for a fool!"

"How could I not know that signing this contract would bring me money?"

"It's not that I don't love money!"

"I'm truly incapable of earning this kind of money!"

"I'm not destined for commercial performances."

Jiang Chengyu still didn't believe it.

I don't believe it.

"You say you sing badly, then sing a couple of lines."

"I want to hear just how awful it sounds."

Seeing that Jiang Chengyu wouldn't shed a tear until he was faced with a death sentence, Zhang Tianai decided to go all out.

He immediately started improvising a piece.

After listening, Jiang Chengyu's expression froze.

How can I describe this?

To put it bluntly, it really is a bit unpleasant to hear.

But it wasn't exactly awful.

Her singing was far better than that of a certain deadly songstress from later generations.

In short, based on Jiang Chengyu's many years of singing experience...

Zhang Tianai wasn't lying, but there's still hope!

"Your breathing isn't right when you sing. Come on, I'll teach you."

It should be noted that Jiang Chengyu didn't have much singing skill at the beginning.

His ability to make a name for himself in the Chinese music scene is due to his talent for songwriting, but the rest is purely due to his physical abilities.

Abbreviation: timbre hooligan.

His singing skills were developed entirely through his own practice on stage.

Purely unorthodox methods.

For people like Zhang Tianai, unorthodox techniques are more suitable.

Let's get back to the point.

Jiang Chengyu taught Zhang Tianai to sing diligently, word by word.

I want to see you smile.

I want to tease you.

I want to hold you in my arms.

.........

Just once, I'll take you to see forever.

Laugh heartily on a sunny day.
