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

Through Lin Han's powerful and heartfelt singing, everyone seemed to see a girl whose hair turned white overnight, sighing alone under the moon, a sorrow that only she could understand.

Eternal love, an unfinished destiny from a past life, an entangled and inextricable web of love and hate.

How could there be such poignant and beautiful lyrics in this world!

"Damn, how can this song be written so well?!"

One of the composers immediately buried his face in his colleague's shoulder and burst into tears.

"I could never write lyrics like this in my entire life! It's amazing! I'll have to study it for a long time!!" another lyricist said in a trembling voice.

"He wrote the lyrics, composed the music, arranged the music, and sang the song. He did everything he was capable of. What an amazing person!"

"So the 'Orange God' that people were talking about online wasn't a joke after all..."

At this moment, while everyone was immersed in Lin Han's music, their mentality was also subjected to an unprecedented shock!

The pent-up frustration that everyone had been holding in dissipated considerably when the climax of "Hair Like Snow" came out.

Besides being awesome, I don't know how else to describe it.

However, many producers present were still unconvinced.

In the entertainment industry, it's not just about writing good music.

Until the final chorus arrives!

15. A Hundred Years of Knowledge and Modern Wisdom: Orange Marmalade

"...

La la la la~

La la la la la la la ah~

The bronze mirror reflects Wu Xie's innocent ponytail.

If you run wild, I'll drink with you in this life.

La la la la la la la la~

La la la la la la la ah~

The bronze mirror reflects Wu Xie's innocent ponytail.

If you run wild, I'll keep you company with wine for the rest of my life.

Lin Han hummed softly, using his unique tone, three parts casual and seven parts genuine, full of charm. The pleasant melody seemed to have a brainwashing quality, echoing in everyone's minds.

Teachers who understand vocal music couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

This singing style is incredibly difficult!

However, Lin Han not only sang it flawlessly, but also brought out his unique style and sang out that feeling of "a glance that lasts a lifetime"!

"Wait a minute, didn't Teacher Juzi edit the audio?!" someone suddenly realized and exclaimed in surprise.

He rarely comes to the recording studio and had completely forgotten that this was a recording session!

This is such a difficult song, and this is only the first recording! Yet it's already so perfect that there's not a single flaw!

now,

Inside the recording center.

The music club members, who had been whispering amongst themselves, were now either silent or in awe.

The youngest son of this tycoon family, who has been subjecting everyone to psychological manipulation for so long, was supposed to be the perfect opportunity to help people remove the filter that makes them look at him as a "god".

Unexpectedly, now, he has finally completely lost his temper.

Sure enough, this musical monster isn't human at all!

As soon as the song ended, the heads of the various music departments silently got up and left the recording center.

These managers, who usually fought tooth and nail at work, were now sharing cigarettes in the corridor, preparing to light them, when they saw Director Chen Yi, who was also there.

One of the managers was stunned. "Director, you...?"

Chen Yi looked at them and smiled.

In fact, the main reason for the huge resentment towards Orange Jam in the music department all along is the atmosphere brought about by Chen Yi.

The pressure from above put pressure on Chen Yi, and Chen Yi, in turn, put pressure on those below with resentment. That's why everyone's feelings towards Orange Jam gradually changed from admiration to "What the hell makes him so special?"

Surprisingly, even after so many years in the music industry, Chen Yi has made a mistake.

That's right, in today's Chinese entertainment industry.

Even if a song is brilliantly written, it doesn't necessarily become a hit; luck plays a significant role.

However, the song "Orange Jam" is not as good as the song itself.

That's fucking awesome!!

The song "Hair Like Snow" ran out of steam in just a few minutes, leaving the composers and lyricists in the audience completely overwhelmed!

"From now on, I'll learn more from Teacher Ju Zi, and we'll be working together in the same company from now on."

"The real talent isn't Bubble Media, it's Orange Jam! You guys should drop your useless airs. This guy is a true genius, more valuable than any top producer. Don't miss this opportunity!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Yi put his hands in his pockets, turned around, and left.

Only the heads of the music departments remained, silent for a long time.

It was another classic take, and Lin Han stretched and put down his headphones.

As he walked out of the recording studio, he was immediately surrounded by layers upon layers of staff.

"Teacher Orange! You're amazing!!"

"Could you tell us about the creative process behind this song?! I really want to hear it!!"

"Teacher Orange, please teach a class! I'm begging you!!"

Faced with the enthusiastic crowd, Lin Han quickly gestured for them to quiet down.

"Wait, wait a minute."

Lin Han was new to the company and wasn't familiar with anyone in the Bilibili music department yet. He couldn't let people think he was arrogant from the start.

So Lin Han had no choice but to say...

"Do you have any questions about my new song?"

"here!!"

A woman raised her hand high, walked through the crowd to the front row, and handed a notebook to Lin Han.

Some words were written down above.

"伊人" (Yi Ren), "惹尘埃" (Ren Chen Ai), "三千" (San Qian), "邀明月" (Yao Ming Yue), etc.

"Teacher Orange, I truly think the lyrics to this song are absolutely wonderful! We always feel like we can't quite grasp the meaning of these lyrics, could you please explain them to us?"

Lin Han looked at the others, who also cast expectant glances his way. It seemed they were all very curious.

"Well..." Lin Han was really stumped.

As a song with a traditional Chinese style, most of the lyrics in it are based on classical Chinese allusions.

Lin Han wasn't sure if these historical allusions existed in this world.

such as,

The earliest origin of the term "伊人" (yī rén) can be traced back to the "Qin Feng Jianjia" chapter of the Book of Songs, which is over 2,500 years ago: "The reeds are green, the white dew is like frost. The one I long for is on the other side of the water." "伊人" refers to the girl one is fond of.

"Stirring up dust" has an even more impressive history.

The Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch records that one day, the Fifth Patriarch Hongren of the Chan school wanted to know the enlightenment level of his disciples, so he asked them to write down their verses and express their insights. His eldest disciple, Shenxiu, took the lead and wrote a verse: "The body is a Bodhi tree, the mind is a bright mirror stand; constantly wipe it clean, lest it be covered with dust." The Sixth Patriarch Huineng then retorted: "Bodhi has no tree, the bright mirror is not a stand; originally there is nothing, where can dust alight?"

Shenxiu's verse means that as Buddhist disciples, we should maintain our purity and self-respect, resist temptations, and not bring shame upon the Dharma. The Sixth Patriarch Huineng, however, believed that the Dharma is not a concrete vessel; since it has no form from the beginning, where is there room for defilement?

The two men reached different levels of enlightenment in Zen Buddhism, which is often cited by later generations to interpret the degree of their understanding of Buddhism.

Furthermore, "three thousand" comes from "Dream of the Red Chamber," and "inviting the bright moon" comes from Li Bai's "Drinking Alone Under the Moon," etc. Many of the words used in "Hair Like Snow" have allusions, and they complement the emotions expressed in the lyrics.

Every time Lin Han reads the lyrics of "Hair Like Snow", he is filled with admiration for Vincent Fang.

He's really figured out Chinese culture!

Lin Han explained the meaning of the lyrics to everyone. Since the original text of the allusion did not exist in this world, in order to make it easier to explain, Lin Han simply read the original text aloud, claiming that he had created it himself or read it from some foreign classical literature.

Fortunately, although the cultural works of the two worlds are different, many of their literary cores are common and not difficult to understand.

After Lin Han finished speaking, there was a deathly silence; everyone was eerily quiet.

"I never imagined... that Teacher Orange could not only write songs, but also be knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, and quite knowledgeable in classical literature and religion..."

After a long pause, a person muttered blankly.

“In ancient times, such people were usually able to have temples built.”

"That's outrageous!! Ms. Orange, what do you do for a living?!"

All the working people erupted in even more heated questions, and everyone's eyes were now shining as they looked at Lin Han!

Lin Han answered the questions while walking towards the door, despite the pressure.

Just then, Lin Han's phone received a new message.

It belongs to Xu Hui.

"Lin Han, I need your help urgently! I need to meet that female reader!"

"Come keep me company! I really can't handle meeting girls alone!!"

016. Xu Hui's Spring

That evening, Lin Han and Xu Hui met.

This was the first time the two had met since arriving in Beijing, and they arranged to meet at a coffee shop.

Xu Hui looked much more haggard after just a few days apart.

He usually claims that "even dogs don't drink coffee," but today, probably to match his depressed mood, he ordered an iced coffee and started showing off.

Even after not being in touch for so many days, Lin Han was still quite concerned about his good brother's situation.

"You've only been in your new dorm for a few days, and you're already making a fuss?"

Seeing Xu Hui's expression, Lin Han couldn't help but ask.

"I really couldn't resist, but I've only made it three times since the start of the semester!"

How many days have you been in school?

"Today is the first day."

"?"

Lin Han tactically took a sip of orange-flavored coffee.

It's sour, a little astringent, and has a slightly bitter taste.

This damn, incomprehensible taste... for some reason, Lin Han felt quite intoxicated by it.

Seeing that the shop's menu had such a strange coffee, and that it even had an unprecedented connection to his two pseudonyms, Lin Han ordered it.

I have to say, this orange-flavored coffee is really something.

"Aren't your roommates going to have a problem with you acting so impulsively?"

"Don't even mention it, my roommate is absolutely insane!"

When he talked about this, Xu Hui's expression became even more grief-stricken.

Let's go back to 2 PM today.

When Xu Hui finished registering and moved his luggage into the dormitory, he ran into his roommate who was playing games in the dormitory.

At that moment, my roommate was playing an open-world game with a four-character name.
