Huayu 2007, Cultivation Superstar

Chapter 93 A beautiful woman matches a talented man, that’s what the books say!

……

Lu Feng had only heard the song "Exploring the Window" a few times in the original time and space.

Under normal circumstances, he probably wouldn't be able to remember it.

However, after being reborn, his memory became better.

Occasionally, when he was moved by the scene, these songs that he had only heard a few times would suddenly become deeply memorable, as if they were branded deep in his soul, and they would be presented with incredible clarity.

Just needs the right switch to trigger it!

For example, when he and Reba went to the Grand Bazaar to sing, they saw someone breaking up and thought of "Why Not".

Whenever I see someone receive a wedding invitation from their ex-girlfriend, I immediately think of "The Guest".

Perhaps it was because he chose the profession of "actor" that he discovered that his ability to empathize had become particularly strong!
Apparently, this happened again today.

"Do you need paper and pen? Wait, I'll get it for you."

Wen Jiahui glanced at Lu Feng, not knowing what had suddenly gone wrong with him, but out of politeness, she borrowed paper and pen from someone.

Lu Feng quickly found a place and wrote down the song that had just popped into his mind.

The lyrics are fine.

As for the music, he needed to figure it out, as the melody was a bit off in some places.

"Xiaoqin, is he okay?"

Seeing Lu Feng squatting in the corner, biting the tip of a pen and humming something with his head tilted from time to time, Wen Jiahui felt a little worried.

He was a handsome, cool and elegant guy just now, but suddenly he turned into a lunatic, squatting in the corner, biting the tip of the pen and dazed. Who wouldn't worry?
"He must be getting some inspiration."

Li Xiaoqin knew Lu Feng quite well. She had a sweet smile on her face and felt an indescribable sense of pride.

"Can this also bring inspiration?"

Wen Jiahui was a little stunned.

She pricked up her ears and listened for a while. Wasn’t it the rehearsal room next door where they were rehearsing "The Jade Hairpin"?

She hears it every day, so what's so strange about it?

"Senior Sister Wen, let's go over there and talk. Don't disturb him."

Li Xiaoqin smiled and pulled Wen Jiahui away to continue the discussion.

However, she looked at Lu Feng from time to time, and she obviously cared more about Lu Feng's inspiration.

About 10 minute passed.

Lu Feng looked through the lyrics and music and felt that it was about right.

There aren't any good instruments here, but a cappella should be fine.

"Xiao Qin, Senior Sister Wen, I just thought of a song. Can you help me listen to it and see if the melody and lyrics are suitable?"

The lyrics should be fine.

However, Lu Feng was really unsure about the melody.

I only remember a few melodies.

He relied on his own composing ability to continue the story.

But he wasn't sure if it would work.

At this moment, he first asked two professionals to listen.

"Okay."

Li Xiaoqin agreed with a smile.

Wen Jiahui next to her naturally didn't say much.

Anyway, she had finished talking about the matter with Li Xiaoqin, and it would be interesting if she could hear a good new song.

"Then you can help me with some advice."

Lu Feng cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and then sang the first sentence.

……

"When the swallows leave, the branches are covered with red beans. For those who travel far away, do not ask when they will return."

"Who is alone guarding the clear waters of Xiaoxiang, unaware of the date?"

……

The singing is good.

As expected of Daolang’s student, he is the hottest new singer this year.

It was the first time for Wen Jiahui to hear Lu Feng sing live, and she gave him an excellent evaluation in her heart.

However, the next moment, her whole body suddenly shook, and her eyes widened involuntarily!

Because she suddenly discovered that the moment Lu Feng started singing, his charm index skyrocketed, and his already high appearance suddenly reached a new level of handsomeness!

Some of the handsome ones are glowing.

——Add 5 to your Charm while singing.

"Does he suddenly become handsome when he sings? Or am I seeing things?"

"No. Lu Feng is so handsome when he sings! He's simply so charming that I don't even dare to let him go out and sing alone."

It was Wen Jiahui's first time watching Lu Feng sing, and she was a little confused. Are all singers like this? Once they start singing, are they full of charm?

She had also seen other singers sing on TV and there was no such situation.

However, Li Xiaoqin was standing next to her, nodding her head like a chicken pecking at rice, which made Wen Jiahui suspect that she was being too picky.

“This is a traditional Chinese song.”

After listening for a while, Wen Jiahui whispered to Li Xiaoqin, "I remember Lu Feng's song 'If Then' also used opera singing in the chorus and climax. When I first heard it, I felt very familiar with it. He must have been influenced by you, right?"

"hey-hey."

Li Xiaoqin didn't answer, but smiled happily.

Seeing how happy she was, there was no need to ask, it must be him. Wen Jiahui had never expected that she could be shown affection like this... She was already 23 years old and had a successful career, but where was her Mr. Right?

I really envy Li Xiaoqin.

Found true love at a young age.

The two were chatting in low voices beside each other, and the next second, Wen Jiahui suddenly opened her mouth wide and looked at Lu Feng in amazement.

Because Lu Feng's tone suddenly changed, he took a deep breath, and started speaking in operatic tones.

……

"She sang of meeting an old friend in a foreign land, and every word and every step was filled with longing."

"The people in the audience are on the gold list, but they never recognize the old acquaintances on the stage."

"When he was talking about the wedding night, everyone congratulated the beautiful woman and the talented man."

"There is a love-sickness in the play without a single word of sighing."

……

The opera singing style is nothing special, but the lyrics are very wonderful, as if they describe all the happy events in life.

Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, getting your name on the list of successful candidates, wedding night, a talented man and a beautiful woman.

But for the actors on stage, this is a tragedy in life.

Because, she was singing about the happy events in her life on the stage, but she never imagined that she would meet her lover under such circumstances.

……

Lu Feng felt good after singing the whole song.

Although there are a few melodies that are not particularly adaptable and need to be adjusted, they are basically the same. With some minor modifications in the later stage, it can become a good Chinese style song.

"Xiaoqin, how is it?"

“It sounds really good.”

Li Xiaoqin looked at Lu Feng, her eyes full of joy and amazement!
My boyfriend is a super talented man. He can write novels and songs. He is so handsome and sings very well.

He turned a blind eye to other women and was called the Blind Man in the underworld. He only had eyes for her.

What is this ultimate love experience?
Li Xiaoqin felt so happy that she felt a little drunk just thinking about it.

Wen Jiahui, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but admire it, thinking to herself, "These lyrics are somewhat similar to the plot of 'The Jade Hairpin'. It seems that he really wrote it on the spur of the moment."

This talent is truly amazing!

It doesn’t matter if you don’t accept it.

Wen Jiahui seemed to see a great talent from ancient times walking out of an ancient book.

Unfortunately, this great talent is not hers.

"Senior Sister Wen, Xiaoqin, I don't think I sang the opera part very well. You two are professionals, so how about we three sing this song together?"

Lu Feng went to great lengths to help Li Xiaoqin get promoted.

Wen Jiahui's status in the Kunqu opera world is much higher than Li Xiaoqin's. The other party is already an apprentice of a Kunqu opera master.

This time, my partner Li Xiaoqin is just temporary.

However, if the two of them sang the song "Exploring the Window" together, then the entire Shanghai Kunqu opera community would tie them together, mobilize their connections, and send them to various major evening parties to sing.

Allowing them to perform in more evening events would also be a great thing for promoting Kunqu Opera.

I believe that the veterans in the Kunqu opera world will definitely be able to see the benefits of this.

——In another time and space, [Shanghai Theatre Academy 416 Girls Group] was sent to various evening parties and became very popular because of singing the song "Looking into the Window".

It's a pity that they are not the original singers. Otherwise, they might be able to perform on the Spring Festival Gala.

"Lu Feng, this is not good, right?"

Li Xiaoqin is Lu Feng's girlfriend, so it's no problem for Lu Feng to sing with her. However, it's different for Wen Jiahui.

She thought about it a lot.

After all, she is the new generation ace of the Shanghai Kunqu Opera Troupe. If she suddenly goes out to sing, she may not be able to explain it to her superiors.

Besides, what is her identity?

"Senior Sister Wen, it's just a song, it won't take much time. Besides, Chinese-style songs are very popular online these days, so you two can sing together. If netizens find out that you and Xiaoqin are both famous Kunqu opera actors, they will definitely be very interested. You can also make a contribution to promoting Kunqu opera."

Lu Feng directly put the big hat on Wen Jiahui's head, and hinted to Wen Jiahui in words and deeds that if you refuse, it means you don't want to promote Kunqu Opera.

"OK then."

Wen Jiahui understood Lu Feng's implication, nodded slightly, and felt inexplicably expectant.

I never thought that I could be a singer?
And it’s the original song!
This is so awesome!
No matter how good Kunqu Opera is, it is still singing other people's stories.

She watched Lu Feng write the song "Looking into the Window" with her own eyes, and she felt a great sense of involvement.

If I could become one of the original singers, I could definitely brag about it for the rest of my life.

"Then it's settled. Once I find someone to finish the arrangement, we can go to Universal Music to record the song together."

Of course, recording a song is not just about recording it once. After a few times, Lu Feng has become familiar with Wen Jiahui, right?
With Wen Jiahui as her recommender, and her contributions to the spread of Kunqu Opera, Li Xiaoqin's wish to join the Magic City Kunqu Opera Troupe and get a regular position there will be a sure thing, right?

"You guys keep chatting. I'll think about some melodies."

Lu Feng completed his plan for the day, ran to the corner, and continued to ponder some of the melodies.

This song has no special meaning to Lu Feng.

However, if Li Xiaoqin and Wen Jiahui sing together, it will mean a lot to the Kunqu opera community in Shanghai!
It will definitely spark huge discussion!
Wen Jiahui was deeply shocked by Lu Feng's talent. When she came to her senses, she couldn't help but say, "Xiao Qin, since ancient times, talented men have been romantic, not to mention great talents. You should pay attention to this."

Li Xiaoqin looked at Lu Feng infatuatedly, and replied happily: "No matter how romantic he is, he is still a talented man. Others can't find him even if they want to."

A handsome guy with great talent is a perfect match for a literary girl like Li Xiaoqin.

A beautiful woman matches a talented man.

That’s what the books say!

After singing The Peony Pavilion and playing the role of Du Liniang for so many years, Li Xiaoqin finally understood why those young ladies in ancient times could not move their legs when they met talented men.

At this moment, isn't she the same?
