The song "The Actor" at the beginning stunned me with its portrayal of the aloof school be

After Lin Xier's live performance of "Encounter" went viral, Che Xing's popularity rose even higher.

Jiang Che, Wang Haoran, and Lin Xier.

The three names began to be discussed together by the media.

The saying "Che Xing's three lines bloom" has gradually become a fixed label.

Just as Chexing's popularity was soaring, Wang Haoran encountered a problem.

The incident occurred on a music radio program.

The program is called "Nighttime Notes".

The audience isn't particularly large, but the number of music fans is high.

The program invited Wang Haoran to do an interview, and he also sang "A Person Like Me" live.

Jiang Che hadn't originally planned for him to take on the a cappella performance so soon.

But the radio station was very sincere.

The program's positioning also aligns with the song.

Wang Haoran himself also wanted to go.

"Boss, I can't keep hiding at the scene forever."

He spoke with a very serious look in his eyes.

Jiang Che looked at him for a while, and finally nodded.

"Can."

"But you have to remember, there's no auto-tuning at a live radio broadcast."

Wang Haoran patted his chest.

"rest assured."

"I've been practicing my breathing techniques quite well these past few days."

When he actually entered the live broadcast room, Wang Haoran was still nervous.

The live stream room for "Night Notes" is very small.

There were no fancy lights.

Jiang Che wasn't sitting next to her playing the guitar.

Only a host, camera, microphone, and live online audience.

This is more likely to make people tense than a big stage.

Because it's quiet.

It was so quiet that every breath was amplified.

The host introduced the topic with a smile.

"Next, please welcome Haoran to sing a section of 'A Person Like Me' for us a cappella."

Wang Haoran nodded with a smile.

"it is good."

His first sentence was fairly steady.

The breath became somewhat unsteady starting from the second sentence.

Before the chorus, he visibly took a quicker breath.

When the first line of the chorus came out, there was a slight tremor in the voice.

It's not serious.

But it's obvious.

Especially in an a cappella setting, flaws are magnified.

Wang Haoran heard it himself.

My heart skipped a beat, and I spoke the last two sentences too quickly.

After he finished singing, his forehead was covered in sweat.

The host was very professional and immediately applauded to smooth things over.

"A very sincere version."

"Singing a cappella allows you to hear more emotions."

But some viewers had already started taking screenshots in the live chat.

"Did it crash?"

"Your breathing is unsteady."

"How can this person be second on the newcomer rankings?"

"Without Jiang Che's accompaniment, Wang Haoran's true colors were revealed."

"The studio version definitely had a lot of revisions."

That evening, the clip of the a cappella performance was edited out.

The titles were increasingly jarring.

Wang Haoran's a cappella performance on the radio backfired.

[The second-ranked newcomer's performance was questioned on set]

How long can the star-making myth of Chexing last?

The footage was maliciously edited, repeatedly amplifying the few seconds when Wang Haoran was most unstable.

Many people who didn't watch the entire live stream were directly influenced by the rumors.

"The scene here is really not good."

"No matter how good Jiang Che is at songwriting, he can't make up for his poor singing skills."

"Wang Haoran has a good sense of storytelling, but his foundation is too weak."

"Chexing pushed him too hastily."

"The fat guy still needs to train."

There were even harsher comments.

"Wang Haoran is Jiang Che's way of helping others through poverty alleviation."

"Without Jiang Che, he wouldn't even be in the top 100 of the newcomer rankings."

"Che-sung's first artist is starting to falter."

After returning to his studio, Wang Haoran remained silent.

The person who's usually the most talkative is eerily quiet today.

He sat in the corner of the practice room, his phone beside him.

The screen lit up and then dimmed.

When Jiang Che walked in, Wang Haoran looked up at him and forced a smile.

"Boss."

"I'm so embarrassed."

Jiang Che pulled out a chair and sat down.

"no."

Wang Haoran lowered his head.

Don't try to comfort me.

"I know it myself."

"That part was indeed sung unsteadily."

"I didn't take a good breath before the chorus, and the rest of the song was a mess."

"I've made all the mistakes you mentioned before."

As he spoke, his voice grew softer and softer.

"They weren't entirely wrong in their criticisms."

"My foundation is indeed weak."

"You've elevated me to this position, but I can't handle it now."

The vocal practice room was very quiet.

The faint sound of Lin Xi'er practicing singing could be heard outside.

Jiang Che didn't speak immediately.

He waited for Wang Haoran to finish expressing his emotions.

He spoke after a few seconds.

"It's good that you know where the problem lies."

Wang Haoran was stunned for a moment.

"what?"

Jiang Che looked at him.

"Unsteady breathing."

"Take a quick breath before the chorus."

"When nervous, one's pronunciation becomes harsh."

"These are all things that can be practiced."

Wang Haoran's eyes were a little red.

"But everyone online is criticizing it."

"Go ahead and curse."

Jiang Che spoke calmly.

"It's normal for singers to get criticized."

The key is not to make the same mistake again.

Wang Haoran looked up at him.

Jiang Che continued:

"Starting today, two hours of physical training every day."

"One-hour breath".

"One-hour a cappella simulation".

"Weekly live recap."

Wang Haoran's lips twitched.

"Boss, can I be sentimental for five minutes first?"

Jiang Che glanced at the time.

"Three minutes."

Wang Haoran: "..."

"You're really like a capitalist now."

Jiang Che stood up.

"You just got second place on the newcomer list, so you're not considered free labor."

Wang Haoran choked.

After a moment, he suddenly smiled.

As I laughed, my eyes started to well up with tears again.

"OK."

"practice."

"I admit it this time."

"Next time, I'll sing those lines more steadily."

Jiang Che nodded.

"That's more like it."

Upon hearing the news, Lin Xier also came to the vocal training room.

She didn't offer much comfort.

He only handed Wang Haoran a bottle of water.

"Problems will arise on-site."

"I've had that before."

Wang Haoran took the water and paused for a moment.

"You can do that too?"

Lin Xi'er nodded.

"Once during a school performance, my breathing became disordered during the second part."

"I cried for half an hour after I stepped down from the stage."

Wang Haoran's eyes widened.

"You can still cry?"

Lin Xi'er looked at him.

Wang Haoran immediately changed his tune.

"What I mean is, even Teacher Lin had a mortal period."

Lin Xi'er suppressed a laugh.

"So practice."

"You'll feel better after practicing."

Wang Haoran looked at Jiang Che, then at Lin Xier.

The gloom that had been weighing heavily on his heart finally eased a little.

He stood up.

"practice."

"This time, Fatty won't dodge."

That evening, Che Xing did not immediately issue a statement.

Jiang Che offered no explanation.

The doubts from the outside world are still brewing.

Large companies secretly gave it a push.

Marketing accounts continue to stir up trouble.

"Wang Haoran's shortcomings have been exposed."

"The performance of Chexing artists has been unstable after leaving Jiang Che's production system."

Whether Jiang Che can truly cultivate mature artists remains to be seen.

These words spread wider and wider.

Wang Haoran turned off his phone and started running.

He ran until he was drenched in sweat for the first time in the vocal training room.

It was also the first time I practiced inhaling repeatedly in front of the mirror.

One o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Che passed by the voice practice room.

The lights were still on inside.

Wang Haoran stood in front of the microphone, singing the few lines of the chorus that he had made a mistake over and over again.

Hoarseness.

It is more stable than during the day.

Jiang Che did not go in to interrupt.

He stood at the door for a while, then turned and left.

Growth is never a straight line.

If Wang Haoran wants to become a singer, he must go through this hurdle.

Being praised.

I was insulted.

The car overturned.

Rehearsal.

Stand up again.

This is the path a newcomer should take.

Wang Haoran, however, had already started walking.
