Huayu: Starting with Rejecting 00s Actresses on a Dating Show
82. Queuing to borrow songs
Tan Wen stated the theme of the short film:
Reason can prevent one from entering into a relationship, but it cannot prevent one from developing a relationship.
This theme was also extracted from the script of "Where the Wind Blows," so the fit is self-evident.
Lu Yu pondered those words, and the latter half almost perfectly reflected his own emotional journey over the past two weeks.
Some things are like the wind passing by; the leaves will rustle, and you can't control them.
As for the first half, can reason prevent one from entering into a relationship? Yes, but it's difficult and painful.
Chi Chi looked at Lu Yuxiao thoughtfully, while Meng Ziyi shook his head: "Based on my past experience, reason really doesn't work."
After deciding on the theme, Tan Wen and the others arranged the tasks for the next day.
Tan Wen didn't go back to his bedroom; instead, he chatted with the others.
After Ao Ruipeng and Sun Yike had a falling out, their group was basically ruined. He then brought Zhang Yanqi to join Tan Wen and the others in their casual conversation.
Tan Wen: "Sister Meng, do you know any experienced agents who are currently unemployed?"
Meng Ziyi: "I'll have to ask my agent about that, but if you're in a hurry, you can borrow my agent for a bit, since she's pretty free right now."
Ao Ruipeng: "Don't you already have a perfect candidate?"
Tan Wen asked curiously, "Who is it?"
"He Mi'er has both resources and ability. With her help, I believe your career will progress very quickly."
The others nodded in agreement. Even Lu Yuxiao felt that, from a rational perspective, He Mi'er was indeed a good fit.
"No way." Tan Wen shook his head decisively. With He Mi'er by his side, how could he be so adept at social maneuvering? How could he possibly share his affections equally?
Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Tan Wen explained, "They have their own careers, how can we make things difficult for them?"
Ao Ruipeng: "How would you know if you didn't ask? I think He Mi'er cares about your situation quite a bit."
Tan Wen patted Ao Ruipeng on the back: "Ao, you've been talking a lot tonight."
Lu Yu thought to herself, Tan Wen is usually the most enthusiastic towards He Mi'er, but this time he seems to be avoiding her. Perhaps he has already made up his mind about his feelings.
"Tan Wen, have you chosen your background music yet?" Lu Yuxiao took the initiative to change the subject.
Tan Wen looked at Lu Yuxiao with satisfaction: "The music teacher and I have tentatively decided on three songs. You guys help me choose. Ao Zi and Lao Zhang, you two can also give us your opinions."
Zhang Yanqi looked surprised: "Three poems? Is it that easy to write these days?"
Back when he was on Produce Camp, the four of them put together a song in one night, but when mentor Hu Yanbin took a look, he said it was completely unusable.
Ao Ruipeng was used to it. "If you stay here for a while longer, you probably won't be so amazed anymore."
After hearing Tan Wen's words from next door, William curled his lip. Having already learned his lesson, he dared not utter any more sarcastic remarks.
Xiang Zuo looked incredulous and was about to say something when William stopped him immediately.
Xiang Zuo was somewhat puzzled. He saw tension in William's eyes. This...
Ding Bing was a little surprised. She asked Gu Beiyu if Tan Wen really could write songs. Gu Beiyu snorted and got up to leave.
Tan Wen handed the copied score to Lu Yuxiao, "Can you play it by following the score?"
"You can play it yourself."
"I'll sing, you play the instrument." Tan Wen was too lazy to waste the props.
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Then I'll give it a try."
Everyone moved to the piano area, and Lu Yu placed the sheet music on the piano stand. He didn't play it immediately, but first familiarized himself with the music.
She sang it silently in her heart, and unsurprisingly, the melody was beautiful and the lyrics were evocative.
She took a deep breath, pressed the piano keys, and then Tan Wen's singing began.
The north wind was merciless, blowing the leaves down.
Its fragility led it to choose escape.
Only when the leaves disappear do the wind feel lonely.
Throughout the winter, the pain of the north wind was unspeakable to anyone.
I never thought I would do this.
I've never been in love before, so I loved the wrong person.
Where I take off, where I land
So many mistakes are unforgivable, yet can never be undone.
Tan Wen didn't use any props; it was entirely his own skill. Although it lacked some of the subtlety and depth of his voice, it was very suitable for singing this song.
So her singing was very infectious.
The other groups, who were still new guests in the living room, stopped talking and unconsciously listened intently after hearing the singing.
Liu Haochun hugged his knees, tilted his head, and absorbed the lyrics and melody.
The song has reached the chorus.
Opening the corner of memories, a perfect life unfolds.
I thought happiness could be controlled.
Carefully revisiting the story behind it,
Oh, so it was me who made the mistake of loving someone I never truly loved.
I never thought I would do this.
I've never been in love before, so I loved the wrong person.
I take off from there and land from there.
So many mistakes are unforgivable, yet can never be undone...
The song ended.
It's worth revisiting.
The helplessness, bitterness, and regret in the lyrics are presented without reservation through the melody.
Zhang Yanqi rubbed his arm to shake off the goosebumps that had risen on his skin. He knew this song was difficult to sing, and Tan Wen's performance was already quite good.
Xiang Zuo looked at William with a confused expression, and William gave him a look that said, "I understand how you feel."
There was a hint of sadness and helplessness in the music. This shouldn't be a song Tan Wen wrote recently, right? Liu Haochun was a little curious. Could it be that he had been hurt in love before?
Tan Wen sighed. "Is this song suitable?"
Tan Wen did not disappoint me; his creative level remains consistently high.
Oh my god, he's shown his divine power again! How tragic!
I'm kind of looking forward to Tan Gou's album.
What else is there to choose? This song is already full.
[Upstairs +1, let's go with this one.]
Everyone came to their senses, and the newly arrived guest of assistance was still unable to calm down.
"This song is your original work." Ni Ni had walked over at some point.
Tan Wen had answered this question many times before, and his nods became increasingly natural.
"Impressive," Ni Ni exclaimed. "I hope it wasn't based on your past experiences."
Chi Chi asked, "What's the title of this song?"
"There's no song title yet." Tan Wen looked at Lu Yuxiao, instinctively wanting her to name it.
"How about giving me a chance to name it? I really like this song," Liu Haochun suddenly said.
Tan Wen nodded indifferently.
Lu Yu opened his mouth slightly. The feeling of being outmaneuvered wasn't pleasant. Liu Haochun seemed quite proactive.
The second song Tan Wen sang was "The Evening Breeze Blows in My Heart," a Cantonese song. His Cantonese level was average, and although he sang it okay, it lacked the right flavor.
Everyone felt it wasn't as good as the first song, but Tan Wen emphasized to them that it was his own fault, that the song was no worse than the first one, and that it was even more catchy.
The crowd accepted his explanation, but insisted on choosing the first song unless the third song was better.
Tan Wen: "The third song is more suitable for a female voice. Lu Yuxiao, it's your turn to sing it. Actually, your voice is quite good."
Tan Wen preferred the third song and had even considered having Lu Yu sing it, to see if the song suited her.
"Oh, but I can't sing."
"Come to my room later, I mean the balcony, I'll teach you."
Meng Ziyi: "Why don't you sing it once first, and then we'll go to sleep."
Tan Wen: "Sister Meng, you're spouting nonsense again. Who are you going to sleep with?"
……
"Can we borrow the second song?"
Liu Haochun told Tan Wen that she seemed certain Tan Wen wouldn't refuse.
Without much thought, Tan Wen said, "Hey, the sheet music."
Liu Haochun stood up briskly and took the sheet music handed to him by Tan Wen.
Tan Wen: "Just a little tip, this song is very suitable for girls to sing."
Seeing how generous Tan Wen was, everyone was eager to try their hand at it, since Tan Wen's songs were much better than the ones they had composed on the spot.
But they weren't sure whether Tan Wen was genuinely generous or just being generous to Liu Haochun, so no one took the initiative to speak up.
Dou Xiao sent a message to He Chaolian, and a little while later He Chaolian and He Mi'er came over together.
"I'd like to borrow a song," He Mi'er said directly.
"Okay, you choose."
He Mi'er nodded in satisfaction; it came quickly and went quickly.
Tan Wen caught a glimpse of Xiao Ya giving Xu Jing a push, and Xu Jing seemed a little flustered.
Seeing her best friend's lack of ambition, Xiao Ya sighed helplessly.
"You two should pick one too," Tan Wenchao said with a smile. Since it would promote their songs, why not?
Xiao Ya looked at Tan Wen with admiration, "Brother, I want to write you into my novel."
"Sure, just don't use scraps."
Xu Jing nodded gratefully to Tan Wen.
Sun Yike, watching from a distance, felt a pang of unease, and her expression became unnatural. If today's events hadn't occurred, Tan Wen would probably have been willing to lend her the song.
She glanced at Feng Fan with some annoyance, feeling extremely wronged.
Around 9:30 p.m., the cabin's loudspeaker came on:
Now, we are announcing a side event. All guests are requested to proceed to the third-floor platform to participate in the lie detector game.
The game rules are as follows: each guest needs to be the one being questioned, and answer questions from others.
Each person can ask up to three questions, and the person being asked a question can choose to refuse to answer.
note:
1. The person being questioned must wear a lie detector throughout the entire process.
2. After being asked questions by two people, the person being questioned can choose not to answer any more questions.
Please choose your questions carefully and cherish this opportunity.
After hearing about the event, Tan Wen immediately felt something was wrong. This is really going to kill me! Who came up with this despicable game?
I just solved the background music problem for the show, and this is how you repay me?
Lei Yi felt a surge of satisfaction as he watched Tan Wen's slightly twitching face through the screen.
He had thought that Tan Wen's interactions with several girls would create a lot of drama, but Tan Wen handled it too smoothly, which was not the effect the production team wanted.
So Lei Yi came up with this idea: to throw a stone into a calm pond.
Lu Yu's eyes lit up; perhaps he could take this opportunity to resolve some of his doubts.
However, we can't ask too directly, since the audience doesn't know that the relationship between the two is much deeper than everyone thinks.
He Mi'er didn't really believe in this stuff, but it seemed like it could be used as a reference. She planned to do an experiment on herself later.
Liu Haochun was unsure whether to ask some serious questions or just play around.
"This looks fun! I want to play too! Can we, the guest judges, play as well?"
While everyone else was preoccupied with their own thoughts, Meng Ziyi was already eager to try. Tan Wen sighed, thinking that if he could learn Meng Ziyi's mindset, he would definitely be much happier.
The group moved to the third-floor platform, where a short table was placed in the middle.
Behind the table stood a middle-aged man with a rather refined appearance.
"Hello everyone, I am the tester for this event. I will truthfully provide feedback on the data I observe based on your answers."
The device on the table is a lie detector. You can choose to believe the results or just laugh them off; the decision is yours.
"Are the test results accurate?" Xiao Ya asked the question that everyone was concerned about.
The middle-aged man confidently replied, "The accuracy rate is between 70% and 80%, which is a conclusion we reached after numerous experiments."
"Could nervousness or a racing heart interfere with the lie detector test results?"
"Yes, so the accuracy rate is between 70% and 80%. Of course, these are just references. It's just a game, so don't worry too much about the results. Relax."
Everyone fell silent and stopped asking questions.
"So, who wants to go first for the test?"
After a while, seeing that no one stepped forward, the middle-aged man prepared to call out names from the list.
"I'll go first!" He Mi'er's voice rang out.
She walked to one end of the table and sat down. The middle-aged man helped her put on the device. A few minutes later, he asked, "Are you ready?"
He Mi'er nodded. She decided to answer one question truthfully first, then lie once to see how effective the lie detector would be.
"Anyone who wants to ask a question, please remember, can only ask three questions. The person being questioned can choose to refuse to answer."
William immediately stepped forward; there was a question he had been wanting to ask.
He felt that he and He Mi'er got along well at first, but for some reason, He Mi'er suddenly became indifferent to him.
He wanted to find out exactly what had happened.
William sat down opposite Holmes.
"I'd like to know, is it because I did something wrong that you suddenly don't want to contact me anymore?"
He waited nervously for He Mi'er's answer.
He Mi'er thought for a moment, then frowned: "If I said I forgot, would you believe me?"
The middle-aged man glanced at the circuit diagram on the screen and nodded to William: "Homier is telling the truth."
Tan Wen can answer this question. It happened on the day He Mi'er asked William if he was an observer. On that day, William kept belittling Tan Wen, and then Tan Wen received a transfer from the system.
William was disappointed and annoyed by the answer. He then asked a question he didn't want to ask, a question that might damage his reputation.
"Have you ever felt a flutter in your heart for me, even for a fleeting moment?"
"Yes," He Mi'er replied immediately.
William looked up in surprise, but before he could even rejoice, he saw the middle-aged man shake his head at him. "Homier lied."
William paused, his cheek twitching slightly. "I'm fine now."
He controlled his emotions and then left calmly.
"Who else wants to ask a question?" the middle-aged man asked.
Tan Wen thought about it and felt that he definitely had to go forward. The premise of liking someone is that you must be curious about that person.
Whether he was genuinely curious or just pretending, he had to make He Mi'er believe that he was curious about her.
However, one must downplay one's own issues so as not to give Lu Yu any other ideas.
"Did you enjoy your two dates with me?" This was a very weak question, and Tan Wen could predict the answer.
He Mi'er was definitely unhappy. The first date involved dealing with Lu Yu's little problem, and the second date involved dealing with her own. What girl would be happy in that situation?
"Happy," He Mi'er replied.
"Huh?" Tan Wen looked at the middle-aged man. A few seconds later, the middle-aged man nodded. He Mi'er was telling the truth.
"Why?" Tan Wen couldn't help but ask curiously.
"The first date was special and exciting. We both won in the end, and this kind of date is unforgettable for me."
On our second date, I met Zhou Ye, that interesting girl, which made me happy. Secondly, I'm pretty sure I know how you feel about me...
The words "heartfelt intentions" made Tan Wen's heart skip a beat, and also stirred ripples in the hearts of Lu Yuxiao, Liu Haochun, and the others.
Meng Ziyi looked at Tan Wen with some confusion, her understanding of the relationships between Tan Wen and the girls was becoming increasingly complicated.
Fortunately, He Mi'er had already answered and didn't continue. "Do you have any other questions?"
Tan Wen, of course, did not want to ask any more questions: "I think I have enough information."
He Mi'er nodded. "I have already answered two people's questions and will not accept questions from a third person."
Jiang Yi's right foot, which had just stepped out, froze in place...
"Alright, Tan Wen will be next to answer questions."
What's bound to happen will happen...
