I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

They are not as laid-back as Zeng Li, who is already a top star in China and has won the Venice Film Festival Best Actress award.

Therefore, whether she is famous or not is irrelevant to her.

But they hoped to use this opportunity to become famous overnight.

If they were to be replaced, they would lose this chance to become famous overnight.

"Let's not change players, just do your best," Cheng Sheng said, shaking his head.

Upon hearing this, the four actresses, including Jiangsu Ying, breathed a slight sigh of relief and secretly encouraged themselves: This is a rare opportunity, we must seize it and practice this song well.

After having dinner at a nearby restaurant, Cheng Sheng went back alone, while Zeng Li and the other four followed Teacher Mu back to the company's practice room for intensive training.

Cheng Sheng went back not to rest, but to find a way to help Zeng Li and the other four.

Cheng Sheng found many books and films about that era.

Then I returned to the company in the evening.

Listening to the five girls diligently practicing their songs with Teacher Mu's help, Cheng Sheng knocked on the door.

Teacher Mu stopped teaching and, seeing Cheng Sheng enter, asked with a puzzled look, "Xiao Cheng, is something the matter?"

"That's right, I brought them something in the hopes of helping them perform this song well."

As he spoke, Cheng Sheng took out the CDs and books.

The practice room has a player and a television.

Under the questioning gazes of Teacher Mu and the five girls, Cheng Sheng put the disc into the player.

A short while later, a film or television program from the 1970s began to play on the television.

This film and television work perfectly recreates some people and events from that era.

Upon seeing this, Teacher Mu thought for a moment and understood Cheng Sheng's idea.

To truly express the profound emotions in this song, one must understand that history and resonate with the spirit of their ancestors.

"Xiao Cheng, you put your heart into it," Teacher Mu praised with a smile.

"These are just some minor tricks. Compared to a music master like you, Teacher Mu, my tricks are nothing," Cheng Sheng said modestly.

Teacher Mu sighed, "Cheng Sheng is becoming less and less like a young man."

Young people today become arrogant as soon as they achieve a little success in the workplace and have no idea what 'humility' means.

Pride itself is not wrong; it is acceptable for a person to be proud if they believe they have outstanding value in a certain aspect or field. However, excessive pride is arrogance.

A proud person will never respect others.

They all believed they were better than others.

But these people have forgotten that arrogance only breeds annoyance. They should know that there are people outside who are stronger than themselves, and excessive pride will only bring shame upon themselves.

Pride and complacency can lead to complacency, hinder progress, and prevent people from moving forward.

A person's life loses its meaning and value if he or she no longer has a positive spirit.

Some young people are even more reckless and arrogant, which is disgusting.

Cheng Sheng, however, does not possess any of the negative traits often associated with contemporary young people. Instead, he is like a humble middle-aged man, or to put it bluntly, a very experienced and shrewd person.

This is also why he greatly admires Cheng Sheng.

For the rest of the time, Zeng Li and the other four did nothing else but watch movies and TV shows from that era.

It didn't end until almost 7 o'clock.

They watched for several hours, until their eyes were blurry and they walked with a swaying gait.

Moreover, the five women were silently shedding tears throughout the film, clearly moved by the story. This is excellent; without a shared "soul," there would be no such understanding.

With empathy for our predecessors, it becomes much easier to sing this song well.

For this song, singing technique is secondary; what truly matters is the emotional outburst. Without that outburst, it's difficult for the audience to share the same empathy.

Three days passed in a flash.

During those three days, they practiced singing techniques in the morning, watched movies and read books from that era from noon to evening, and sang this song continuously at night.

On the fourth night.

Most of the company's employees had already left work, but Teacher Mu and the five women were still in the practice room.

Cheng Sheng stood aside, listening to the five women's singing. Their singing had improved significantly compared to the beginning.

Listen, listen.

Cheng Sheng's eyes welled up with tears.

Tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily.

Not only did Cheng Sheng shed tears, but Zeng Li and the other five girls did too. As they sang, they were immersed in the scene depicted in the lyrics, and tears silently slid down their faces, dripping onto the cold floor.

After singing.

There were no sobs or choked voices at the scene, only an indescribable mix of sadness, reverence, shock, and enlightenment. A heavy, inexplicable emotion weighed on everyone's hearts, leaving them speechless for a moment.

"Teacher Mu, boss, how did we sing?"

Jiangsu Ying asked in a slightly hoarse voice, but with an unprecedented strength.

Nearly sixty years old, Teacher Mu wiped away the tears on her old face, clapped her hands and said, "Good, very good. Your performance will impress everyone."

Crack, crackle!

Cheng Sheng clapped along and said, "I can guarantee that after you finish singing this song, you can all debut as a group."

"This is all thanks to you. If you hadn't helped us find films and books from that era, we wouldn't have been able to do this much, nor would we have been able to appreciate the hardships our predecessors endured," Zeng Li said, gazing at Cheng Sheng with longing.

If there hadn't been other people around, she probably would have pounced on her man long ago.

Over the past few days, she has become increasingly aware of how outstanding her man is. He is like a treasure, constantly surprising her.

Tang Wei didn't speak, but looked at Cheng Sheng with a complicated expression, one of worship and infatuation.

"Now that everyone has mastered this song, I'll give you all a day off tomorrow. Have a good time, and the day after tomorrow we'll go to Xijiang and amaze everyone with your singing," Cheng Sheng said loudly.

"Okay!"

Zeng Li and the other five women cheered.

They endured a lot of hardship during those four days of practice, and their voices almost went hoarse from singing.

“Then let’s do it one last time. After this, I can go back and get some rest,” Teacher Mu said with a smile.

"Xiao Cheng, you're in charge this time."

Teacher Mu handed the sheet music to Cheng Shengdao.

Cheng Sheng held the sheet music he had written and looked at the song's title—"As You Wish".

At that moment, Cheng Sheng felt that the name of the song "As You Wish" carried immense weight.

The lyrics line by line came into Cheng Sheng's view.

You are the long road, the light in the mountain fog, and I am a child! Walking in your eyes, you are the bright moon and gentle breeze, and I am the dream you cherish. Whether we meet or not, I will embrace you, and I will love the world you love, and wish you the smile you desire... (End of Chapter)
