Huayu 16: I Became the Dream-Fulfilling Master for Young Actresses

Chapter 99 Tian Xiwei: Let me wet it a little with my saliva first, otherwise I won't be able to get in.

"There are always halos that eventually fall."

"Imitators are popping up everywhere~"

"A role that nobody cares about."

"Whom do you choose to worship? Whom do you choose to resent?"

'

As the last note faded, the recording studio fell silent for a few seconds. Chen Xingzhou took off his headphones and saw through the glass that the sound engineer was giving him a thumbs up.

He stepped out of the recording studio, and before he could even take a sip of water, he was greeted by a burst of applause.

Meng Ziyi looked at him in surprise, "A-Zhou, did you secretly go to practice singing?"

Chen Xingzhou was stunned for two seconds before he realized that Meng Ziyi was praising him.

He has no musical abilities; the only thing he might have is his mastery of dialogue, but that's not really relevant.

His singing ability is only passable, not outrageous.

"no."

"Oh," Mencius responded, then immediately ran excitedly to him, "Is it my turn?!"

Chen Xingzhou glanced at her, then looked at Bai Mengyan. Seeing that she had no objection, he nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead."

"Very good!"

Meng Ziyi quickly walked into the recording studio and began recording.

A moment later, she came out panting and looked at the sound engineer, asking about the effect.

"How is it? Is it not working well? ————"

The sound engineer nodded. "The pitch is off in a few places."

Chen Xingzhou pressed down on her shoulder: "No rush, listen to the playback first and find the off notes."

The sound engineer pushed the playback to her.

Meng Ziyi listened with headphones on for half a minute, then suddenly chuckled, "The sound here is ridiculously distorted!"

"It's quite cute how it floats," Bai Mengyan said from the side.

Zhou Ye echoed this sentiment.

"Right! I think so too!" Meng Ziyi wasn't ashamed at all; on the contrary, she was a little proud. "Then I'll keep this part!"

"We can't keep them." Chen Xingzhou and the sound engineer spoke at the same time.

Meng Ziyi pouted: "Okay, okay, I'll record again."

The second, third, and fourth attempts were all unsuccessful for Mencius.

Her eyes were a little red, and she looked at the three people sitting in the rest area with a pout.

"I didn't pass—"

Chen Xingzhou rubbed his temples, thinking about how to help Meng Ziyi solve this problem.

Suddenly, an idea struck him. He walked over to Meng Ziyi and whispered, "Just imagine, you'll be sleeping alone every night from now on, while I'll be sleeping with Mengyan and Yitong every day. Do you understand that feeling?"

"No way!! I disagree! Why should I?!"

Meng Ziyi immediately puffed up his cheeks and spoke with great enthusiasm.

Zhou Ye and Bai Mengyan were both startled by her shout and looked at the two of them curiously.

"Stop, I already told you to think about it." Chen Xingzhou patted her shoulder. "Alright, go on, I feel like it should be about time."

"6

"Hmph! Fine, I'll go!" Meng Ziyi slapped his hand away and walked towards the recording studio.

Watching her leave, Chen Xingzhou chuckled softly.

At this moment, Bai Mengyan leaned closer to him and asked, "Xingzhou, what did you and Ziyi talk about?"

Zhou Ye also looked over curiously, but did not approach, only watching from a distance.

"Ahem, it's nothing. Just tell her she can't have dessert today."

Chen Xingzhou lied without batting an eye, saying that Meng Ziyi really did eat desserts, real desserts.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Because of Meng Ziyi, he can no longer look at the word "dessert" the same way.

"oh oh."

The two women nodded, showing no suspicion.

After speaking, Chen Xingzhou looked at Zhou Ye over there, thought for a moment, and walked over to her side.

"Xiaoye."

"Huh? Senior—you tell me."

"Once these songs are recorded, we'll contact Tencent. These songs will be released through Tencent."

"But—didn't the script say the female lead is a singer on NetEase Cloud Music?"

Chen Xingzhou waved his hand, "It's okay, we didn't take any fees from NetEase Cloud Music, and Teacher Mo Bao didn't have any objections."

However, what he didn't say was that even if Mo Bao Fei Bao had objections, it was too late now, since the copyright belonged to him.

Moreover, NetEase Cloud Music had just surpassed 4 million users in 2017.

Tencent's Kugou Music has reached 2.83 million monthly active users, while QQ Music has reached 2.54 million monthly active users.

The combined monthly active users of the two companies are dozens of times greater than those of NetEase Cloud Music.

He couldn't possibly lock the 0ST copyright to a platform that only accounts for less than 15% of the market, just because of a few lines in the original work.

"Okay, senior, I'll contact you right away."

After Zhou Ye agreed, he went to the side to make a phone call.

A moment later, Meng Ziyi came out of the recording studio, clenched her little fists, and ran towards Chen Xingzhou.

"A-Zhou! I passed!"

The sound engineer followed behind her, somewhat surprised, and walked up to the three of them. Looking at Chen Xingzhou, he asked, "Director Chen, what method did you use? How come Teacher Meng got it right in one take after you finished speaking?"

"It's a method of emotional immersion," Chen Xingzhou turned to look at Meng Ziyi, smiling faintly, "I can't go into the specifics. Artistic matters sometimes can't be quantified, right, Ziyi?"

Meng Ziyi seemed to still be savoring the feat he had just accomplished. Hearing his words, he was first taken aback, then glared at him, but still chimed in, "Yes! A-Zhou is right! It's art!"

The recording engineer, seeing the two of them speaking in cryptic terms, clearly didn't understand, but he was used to it after recording songs for so many years.

There's always a secret code between the director and the actors that outsiders can't understand.

He nodded, didn't ask any further questions, and returned to the stereo to continue his work.

At 10 PM on July 26th, the crew of "Go Go Squid!" was at their hotel.

Meng Ziyi carried a lunchbox and walked slowly toward Chen Xingzhou's room.

Filming is almost finished these days, and Chen Xingzhou has been extremely busy. He didn't even have lunch today, so she decided to bring him a late-night snack.

But just as she reached the door of Chen Xingzhou's room and was about to knock, she heard a familiar voice coming from inside.

"Don't move!"

Xiwei, my little sister?

Meng Ziyi's hand remained suspended in mid-air, not falling.

Why is Tian Xiwei here? Isn't she at school?

But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed like it was summer vacation? Then someone must have something to ask A-Zhou.

Just as she was about to knock on the door again, the sound coming from inside made her tremble.

"Let me do it, but are you even capable?" Chen Xingzhou sighed.

"Don't rush me! Just don't move around. This is the first time I've done this, you know that."

It was Tian Xiwei's voice, but her breathing seemed a little rapid?

And, first time? Doing this? What for?

Meng Ziyi tightened his grip on the lunchbox.

"take it easy.

"Hmph, you make it sound so easy. You, you—don't shake, I can't even aim properly—"

"I wasn't shaking."

"You're shaking."

"Okay, okay, I won't move."

"That's more like it," Tian Xiwei snorted, "Let me wet it a little with my saliva first, otherwise it won't go in."
