She was tricked into marriage for three years, then remarried a childless, tough guy and became preg

Shen Tang was adjusting the volume and equalizer behind the mixing console when she looked up at Song Cheng'an:

"Sing any song."

Song Cheng'an nodded, waited a few seconds in front of the microphone, and then sang the first line:

I am a wolf from the North

Walking in the boundless wilderness—

Shen Tang listened intently, and only after the entire song was recorded did she press the stop button, rewind the tape, and press the play button.

Song Cheng'an's voice came through the monitor speakers; it was clear, full, and high-pitched.

Lin Manni leaned against the doorframe and said with a smile, "Sure!"

"Of course," Shen Tang said with a smile.

"Do I sing that well?" Song Cheng'an asked, leaning closer.

"How about it? Don't you feel like you're getting closer and closer to becoming a star?" Shen Tang asked with a smile.

Song Cheng'an raised an eyebrow. "I'm quite charming, aren't I?"

Shen Tang took out several sheets of sheet music. "This is a song I wrote specifically for you. What do you think?"

Song Cheng'an frowned as he looked at the sheet music in front of him.

"I don't understand. These are lyrics, and this is sheet music, but I don't recognize it."

"It's okay if you don't know it, I'll teach you."

"No need for that. Just sing them to me one by one, and I'll memorize them." Song Cheng'an put the sheet music on the table.

Shen Tang's face turned serious. "Are you kidding me? All this equipment, all the effort I put in, all that publicity I had to do after recording this—do you know how much work it took to make you famous!"

Song Cheng'an felt a little embarrassed by what he said, and slowly straightened up.

Shen Tang looked at him and continued, "I know you're not short of money, but I am. If you're just playing around, then I'm sorry, I'll find someone else."

"No, that's not what I meant," Song Cheng'an quickly explained.

"Then study hard and don't let all my efforts go to waste." Shen Tang pointed to the sheet music on the table.

"Okay, okay. I'll learn."

Lin Manni, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but laugh. Shen Tang turned around and glanced at her, and also chuckled.

They manipulate celebrities' classic rhetoric, applying various forms of pressure and moral blackmail.

She had experienced enough in her past life; no one would recognize a dog, but it was undeniably useful.

In order not to waste everyone's hard work, Song Cheng'an studied the musical score diligently for an entire afternoon.

It must be said that he is indeed quite talented and learns very quickly.

Shen Tang also took the opportunity to slap her hips and boast, "If you slap someone, you have to give them a sweet treat."

"My God, you are the most talented person I have ever met. You learn so fast! You will definitely become a world-class star in the future."

Song Cheng'an scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "It's not that exaggerated, is it? I just have a bit of talent."

"You're more than just talented; you're a genius! Add just a couple more points of effort, and you'll be a god!"

Song Cheng'an gradually lost himself amidst Shen Tang's praise.

Lin Manni silently gave Shen Tang a thumbs up.

"Come on, record this song. Give it your best."

Shen Tang pushed the score to Song Cheng'an.

Song Cheng'an stood in front of the microphone, cleared his throat, and struck a pose.

Shen Tang waved his hand and began to sing.

Shen Tang wrote several original songs based on the popular music of the era.

Song Cheng'an has a great voice and good looks, and his songs are even more captivating when sung through his voice.

Lin Manni stared wide-eyed at Song Cheng'an, who was recording a song.

Shen Tang was also amazed.

After finishing the song, Shen Tang pressed the end button.

Lin Manni clapped her hands. "Oh my god! Shen Tang, you did it!"

She ran over and hugged Shen Tang, who excitedly exclaimed, "A rising star is about to be born under my guidance!"

Song Cheng'an also enjoyed the performance process.

It hits it off.

The rest was just practicing day and night, singing, re-recording, and also learning simple dances and typhoons.

Shen Tang even began training him on what to say when facing fans.

Finally, the first cassette album was recorded, with two sides and a total of 12 songs.

All that's left is to create stars!

If you want people to buy and consume, you first have to push people out and make them visible.

The Paramount Ballroom is undoubtedly a great stage.

During the daytime when the store was closed, Song Cheng'an would perform on stage again and again, while Shen Tang sat in the audience watching and correcting his mistakes.

The stage performance is almost over; all that's left is packaging.

Song Cheng'an was already quite good-looking, but clothes make the man, and to be remembered at a glance, one must have eye-catching clothing.

Clothing design should conform to the trends of the times, but not be too excessive.

Shen Tang designed nearly 30 outfits, and the task fell to Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng looked at the clothes in front of him and exclaimed, "What is this? It's so flashy!"

"That's the point of being flashy." Shen Tang picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. "This is a stage costume; it has to be dazzling and eye-catching."

Qin Zheng leaned back in his chair.

"What are you busy with? The circus?"

"You're the circus troupe, I think you're the circus troupe!" Shen Tang retorted.

"Hehehe... Okay, whatever you say, I'll do it. I'll put the other clothes on hold and get them done for you first," Qin Zheng said.

"How are things between you and Zhou Nan? Are you getting married?" Shen Tang asked, looking at him.

Qin Zheng took a deep breath. "There's been a problem."

"What's wrong?" Shen Tang frowned. "You didn't just start something and then abandon me, did you? Let me tell you, Zhou Nan is my best friend. If you dare to betray her, I won't let you get away with it!"

"What are you saying? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"It looks like it. Tell me quickly, what happened?" Shen Tang asked.

Qin Zheng twirled the teacup in his hand and said, "My maternal grandmother and her paternal grandmother had some conflicts when they were young."

Shen Tang processed that sentence for a moment, then asked, "What grudge? It's not like you stole a man, is it?"

"More or less." Qin Zheng frowned and put down his teacup.

"Huh? That's so melodramatic? Tell me about it." Shen Tang immediately became interested.

"At that time, my maternal grandmother and Zhou Nan's paternal grandmother were in the same theater troupe. They were both female roles, and later a male role came to join them."

Qin Zheng took a deep breath. "She's probably quite good-looking, and Zhou Nan's maternal grandmother fell for her. Zhou Nan's paternal grandmother took the initiative to pursue her, and then the two got together."

Later, that young man took a liking to my grandmother, constantly hanging around her and frequently bringing her gifts to curry favor. Both of them were already young female performers, and this made their relationship even more strained.

"And then?" Shen Tang listened intently.

The gossip of the older generation is really interesting.

"Later, Grandma Zhou Nan broke up with that young man and left the Kunqu Opera Troupe in a fit of anger."

"That's it? It's nothing special." Shen Tang said.

Qin Zheng pinched the bridge of his nose. "It's nothing, but both elders feel awkward, especially Zhou Nan's grandmother. She thinks that my maternal grandmother interfered in their relationship and doesn't agree to Zhou Nan marrying me."
