They don't actually think I like them, do they?

However, he had never heard Yan Yuli sing before, and if she messed up the performance, he didn't know how to help this "national daughter" recover.

"Why have you been thinking for so long? Do you think I'm not a good singer?"

Yan Yuli narrowed her eyes and stared intently at Lin Han.

"How could this be?" Lin Han scratched his head, embarrassed.

"Do you know how many times I've sung on the Spring Festival Gala?" Yan Yuli said coldly, her hands on her chest. "Well, although my singing skills are indeed far behind yours, I certainly won't embarrass you."

The dignified Yan Yuli actually said something to Lin Han that she wouldn't embarrass him.

Lin Han felt embarrassed: "No, no, I was just too surprised. I never expected to be able to sing on the same stage as my senior. It's truly an honor!"

Hearing this, Yan Yuli's expression softened slightly, and she put down her teacup:

"By the way, you don't have enough songs right now, do you? A concert should have an average of twenty to thirty songs. You can sing fewer for your debut concert, but you've only released nine so far. Nine songs is just too cheap, isn't it?"

"Is that so?" Lin Han was stunned. "My agent didn't tell me."

"That will probably mean you'll sing songs by artists from the same company."

"this......."

Upon hearing this, Lin Han could no longer contain himself.

Ask him to sing other people's songs? You're kidding!

Do others even deserve it?

Although Lin Han has been singing other people's songs to some extent, these "other people" are incomparable to "other people." Lin Han's persona makes it impossible for him to accept singing popular songs from this world.

“I still have half a month, I can write,” Lin Han said.

At worst, we can just improvise on the spot and sing whatever song comes to mind.

“That’s true.” Yan Yuli didn’t say anything more. She had complete faith in Lin Han’s creative speed.

Perhaps, after finishing this Western meal, Lin Han will have another inspiration and write another poem when he gets back.

Thinking of this, Yan Yuli gently rubbed her legs together, feeling a little expectant.

Soon, the steak was served.

The waiter opened the lid, and the sizzling, oily steak was presented on the table.

Lin Han picked up his knife and fork, gently cut off a small piece, and put it in his mouth, ignoring the scalding hot oil.

Cool!

It tastes better than instant noodles.

After finishing a piece of steak, Yan Yuli put down her knife and fork.

"I want to take the Beijing exam."

Lin Han, who was cutting meat, almost knocked the plate away.

"why?"

So what I casually told Xu Hui is about to come true!

"I remember you said that your college application was decided by your mother?" Lin Han asked.

This was something Yan Yuli had honestly and frankly told him when he was getting tutoring at her house.

Basically, Yan Yuli's mother wanted her to apply for a performing arts major, and last year a very prestigious performing arts university was willing to offer her a guaranteed admission. However, Yan Yuli, who was determined to study music, refused and chose to take the college entrance examination, hoping to get into "Jinchuan Conservatory of Music".

However, Yan Yuli failed the exam, and as a consequence, she will have to repeat a year, following her mother's arrangements.

“I got eighth in the grade in the last monthly exam, and my mother was very happy.” Yan Yuli smiled gently. “She allowed me to choose the school myself as long as I apply for the performing arts department.”

"So you're not going to study music anymore?"

Seeing Yan Yuli's enlightened expression, Lin Han couldn't help but ask.

"I know I don't have musical talent, so I'll just treat music as a hobby. The career path my company has planned for me means that I'll be pursuing further studies in the film and television industry."

"I see."

Yan Yuli should have figured this out last year. Lin Han doesn't know why she's only now willing to compromise, or what happened in between.

However, Lin Han didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Balancing hobbies and work is inherently difficult.

Liking music doesn't necessarily mean you have to work in the music industry. Choosing a field you're better at might make you happier.

"Then what does this have to do with Beijing?" Lin Han suddenly realized.

"I want to apply to Beijing Film Academy," Yan Yuli said.

"That's quite a score," Lin Han remarked.

As the top film school in the country, countless well-known actors, directors, and film industry bigwigs have graduated from this university.

For Yan Yuli, who became a top celebrity in the entertainment industry at a very young age, entering this university is a pretty good choice.

"Yes, it's very, very difficult..."

Yan Yuli gently swirled the white teacup in her hand, then looked up and gazed into Lin Han's eyes.

"But I will try my best to pass the exam."

The girl's expression was serious, then she smiled sweetly.

For a moment, Lin Han was completely mesmerized.

After realizing what was happening, he said:

"come on!"

.......

When Lin Han got home that evening, he collapsed onto the sofa.

While everyone around him was working incredibly hard for the college entrance exam, Lin Han seemed rather relaxed.

Unfortunately, life for students admitted to Beijing University through the guaranteed admission program is always monotonous and uneventful.

The only thing that could still give Lin Han some excitement during this period was the concert ticket sales.

He opened the backend and saw that three days had passed since the tickets for Orange Jam's concert went on sale, and more than 6,000 tickets had already been sold.

In fact, for Lin Han's status, this number is already quite good, and the audience of more than 6,000 people is also very impressive.

A typical school-wide mobilization meeting only has one or two thousand participants!

However, considering the venue has 50,000 seats, the attendance rate was still dismal.

However, as long as Lin Han still holds onto the "special guest" trump card and doesn't play it, he can remain at ease for a while longer.

Remembering what Yan Yuli had said this morning, Lin Han immediately got up from the sofa and went into the music room.

Write a new song.

The embarrassment of not having enough songs to sing at a concert is no less than having a large number of empty seats!

Moreover, in order to increase attendance, Lin Han needs to continue to boost his popularity through new songs.

Lin Han sat in his seat and pondered for a while.

Since the goal is to boost popularity, Lin Han will temporarily refrain from deliberately creating highly controversial songs to increase the "collapse index" and instead write a catchy one.

So far, most of the songs I've released have been relatively gentle.

Could you please make a happy song that can get the entire audience excited at the concert?

Got it!

After some thought, Lin Han wrote the song title on the sheet music – "The Lone Warrior".

053. The Lone Warrior

"The Lone Warrior" is a song performed by Eason Chan, and it is a typical inspirational and uplifting song.

However, its "positive energy" is different in style from the "positive energy" of this world. The inspirational songs that this world promotes are more like "Sing out your passion, stretch out your hands, let me embrace your dreams~".

The style of "The Lone Warrior" is clearly more somber and profound, with lyrics that are also full of meaning. Although it may not be as energetic as many truly upbeat songs, its energy comes from the lament and roar that follows extreme repression, which is equally powerful and can strike a chord deep within people's hearts.

When choosing songs, Lin Han tried to select music that didn't fit the style of this world, because that would make it easier to generate buzz and attention.

However, Lin Han did not have complete confidence in this song.

"The Lone Warrior" is a truly great song; it's the Chinese theme song for the excellent animated series "The Battle of Two Cities." Enjoying it alongside the storyline of "The Battle of Two Cities" will enhance the experience!

Following the music of "Lone Warrior," we recall the love-hate relationship between Jinx and Vi, Vander's determination and selflessness, and remember the words that the ruthless Hilko said to Boo on his deathbed, "I didn't hand you over to them, you are perfect..."

All of this brings together the emotions that the song "The Lone Warrior" evokes in everyone.

In other words, Lin Han felt that if you hadn't seen "The Battle of Two Cities," you would miss a lot of the feeling when listening to this song; it was like listening to a low-budget version of "The Lone Warrior."

This is why, after the song "Past Life" became a hit among elementary school students, many people instinctively disliked it.

It's like this: you really like the high school girl played by Kana Momono, and what you like is her invincible youthfulness and the naivety and purity that no one else can portray.

However, during one of Momono's offline bar events, a group of newbies in the scene actually pestered her to wear a very revealing DJ outfit and act provocatively.

Absolutely vulgar!

Is this how Momono-sensei uses it?!

They completely lack Ms. Peach's true charm! They don't understand her true essence! How could someone who represents purity and innocence in everyone's eyes do something so self-degrading?!

A bunch of kids who haven't seen "The Battle of Two Cities" or don't even understand the song sing it every day, and it makes the song seem much more vulgar.

In this world, it seems there's no need to worry about such problems arising.

However, this world clearly does not have a "Battle of Two Cities".

Lin Han is not considering entering the animation industry for the time being.

Therefore, Lin Han wasn't entirely confident that without the support of animation, he wouldn't know if the people here would be able to resonate with the song.

However, 95% still exist.

It doesn't matter, they'll make up their own stories.

After writing the song, Lin Han went to the company to record it the next day.

"The Lone Warrior? That's not like your style."

Hu Yan exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the sheet music Lin Han handed her.

Before this, Orange Jam's songs were either related to love or were very poetic, relating to life and home.

In short, none of Orange Jam's songs so far truly celebrate positive energy.

In fact, listening to songs like "Stranded" and "Cheers" made me feel depressed.

If Marmalade doesn't engage in any underworld activities, that's already a mercy from the King of Hell. Do you expect him to encourage you to live a good life?

"Give it a try. If it works well, you can write more poems in this style in the future." Lin Han smiled.

With a skeptical attitude, Hu Yan accompanied Lin Han to the recording studio.

"..."

It was still done in one take.

Five minutes later, the song recording was finished.

Lin Han walked out of the recording studio and saw Hu Yan standing there, tears streaming down her face.

"No, why do you cry every time I sing a song?" Lin Han couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, sorry."

Hu Yan quickly wiped away her tears.

"Teacher Orange, in those short five minutes, I've learned so much... From your singing, I suddenly realized that you are a lone hero!"

"Huh?" Lin Han was dumbfounded.

"When the whole world hated love songs, you stood up, disregarded worldly opinions, endured so many haters' insults, and continued to develop the love song culture to this day, letting countless people know that liking love songs is not shameful! How much you have endured in this process! This song is ostensibly written for others, but it is actually written about your inner world!"

Lin Han fell silent.

How could he not know how great he was?!
