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

"real or fake?"

Su Ruxue had rarely heard such mysterious words from Lin Han, and she couldn't help but become curious.

As the highest-level cello competition in the country, the Longqin Cup assesses contestants from multiple perspectives, with the most important being their proficiency in classical pieces, as well as their creative and comprehension abilities.

Original compositions are almost never considered for the Longqin Cup.

What kind of music could make Teacher Lin Han say such a thing?

"Really, just you wait and see," Lin Han said with a smile.

"Oh dear, just tell me now!" Su Ruxue said anxiously.

If there's anything in this world that Su Ruxue is more passionate about than desserts, it's undoubtedly music.

After keeping everyone in suspense for so long, they still managed to say something like "wait a minute"!

"It's too early now."

"Teacher Lin Han!!"

Su Ruxue puffed out her cherry lips, spinning the lollipop wildly in her mouth. The sound she made could be felt by Lin Han even through the phone, conveying a deep sense of resentment.

"Ms. Su, I have something to do. Let's talk next time~" Lin Han said and hung up the phone.

Then, Lin Han lay down on the sofa and laughed so hard he almost fell over.

That brat, she's always messing with herself.

Finally, it's my turn to have the upper hand over her!

I never expected it to be this fun!

In fact, Lin Han wasn't entirely teasing Su Ruxue, because he did indeed write a piece of music that was truly earth-shattering and awe-inspiring.

It is no exaggeration to say that this piece of music was the most widely circulated classical music in the previous life... without a doubt!

Over the past two hundred years, more than one hundred songs in the Chinese music scene have used the melody of this song, including many highly popular songs such as "I Don't Want to Grow Up" and "If There Is a Next Life".

No amount of flowery language or exaggerated words can fully express the power and impact of this piece of music.

In fact, Lin Han needed a bit of courage to bring this piece of music over here.

Because it has long transcended the scope of ordinary music; it cannot be considered a specific piece of music, but rather a method of composition. Once it comes to fruition, it will cause a bloodbath in the music world!

Lin Han slowly shifted his gaze to the table, where its name was prominently displayed on the paper—

Canon in D major.

Now is not the time for it to make its move.

Lin Han has another song to write.

The former is for building reputation and prestige; what I'm writing now is my main job.

.......

On his day off, Lin Han came to the company and, with Hu Yan as a witness, recorded his new song.

Now that the academy has started a trend of combining classical and popular music, Lin Han has no choice but to jump on the bandwagon!

When Lin Han thought of the combination of classical and popular music, a song quickly came to mind.

It belongs to Jay Chou.

However, it is completely different in style from the songs Lin Han has released before.

"The Seventh Chapter of the Night... What a poetic title!"

Looking at the sheet music Lin Han sent, Hu Yan couldn't help but say,

What type of song?

"Rap," Lin Han said with a slight smile.

As we all know, Jay Chou's powerful songwriting ability is undoubtedly one of the reasons he has achieved such a high status in the Chinese music scene.

On the other hand, what many people overlook is Jay Chou's "Jay-style rap," which can almost be called unique!

The variety show known as "The Rap of China" in its previous form has been running for more than six years.

Over this long period of time, countless rappers have emerged who have been hailed as geniuses online.

Many rap songs hailed as "masterpieces" often leave casual listeners completely bewildered.

To everyone else, isn't this just a bunch of baboons yelling nonsense?

What's so good about it?

Therefore, many people feel that they simply don't appreciate rap and that they are just naturally averse to it.

but,

As time goes by, more and more people are gradually discovering that

You clearly enjoyed listening to Jay Chou's rap songs from 20 years ago!

This shows that you should be able to appreciate rap!

Whose fault is it, really?

This demonstrates the influence of "Zhou-style rap".

And this song, "The Seventh Chapter of the Night," is Jay Chou's top-tier rap song.

It could even be said to be at the pinnacle of the Chinese music scene.

Although the song is 17 years old, the melody still sounds modern today; it can be said to be ahead of its time!

"Does our company have any female singers with good singing skills who can be called over right now?" Lin Han asked.

Since this song is a duet, with the male singer responsible for the rap and the female singer responsible for the chorus, Lin Han couldn't complete it alone.

"Those with better singing skills..."

Hu Yan stroked her chin and thought for a while.

"Mangzi, I guess."

Upon hearing the name, Lin Han hesitated for a moment.

After all, this song has nothing to do with love, and he doesn't want fans to use it to create a CP (couple) image just because he sang it with Mangzi.

That would truly be a waste of resources.

But Lin Han changed his mind.

To be fair, Mangzi is indeed a top idol and has always been the vocal powerhouse of the group.

She wanted to perfectly recreate "The Seventh Chapter of the Night," and there was indeed no one more suitable than her in the company.

Faced with public pressure and the question of the song's completeness, Lin Han ultimately chose the latter.

......

An hour later, Lin Han and Mang Zi sat together in the recording studio.

Hearing that Mangzi was going to record a song with Lin Han, all the girls in the AWM group came to the scene.

They, along with Hu Yan and the recording instructor, watched quietly from outside the glass enclosure.

Lin Han put on his headphones and started adjusting the equipment.

"Lin Han, you look quite handsome with headphones on," Mangzi couldn't help but say.

Lin Han looked at Mangzi with a completely bewildered expression, his face clearly saying, "Are you out of your mind?"

"Lin Han, don't forget that you're coming to the water park with me this weekend!"

"Why are you talking so much? It's about to start, put on your headphones."

"It's just nervousness, isn't it? It's the first time you've invited someone to record a song together."

Mangzi blushed and said shyly.

104. The Seventh Chapter of the Night

Lin Han sighed and rubbed his forehead, wondering what was so embarrassing about it.

It's just recording a song, why all the fuss? If it were filming a music video, wouldn't they just spray water on us?

However, Lin Han also knew that Mangzi was a veteran actress who was very good at playing the role of an innocent young girl.

So he didn't spoil her, grabbed the headphones and put them on the girl's head, making Mangzi's hair a mess.

"Hey, can't you be a little gentler?" Mangzi adjusted her headphones and pouted.

"Who told you to dawdle like that?"

"This is the first time she's done this with you! She has no experience, if you just shove it in like that, it will hurt a lot!"

"What the hell?!"

Outside the glass room, the sound engineer and the girls listened to the sounds coming from the speakers and all fell silent.

"What are they saying?" Peach asked, pointing to the recording studio with a frown.

"I don't know either. I guess it's something related to the song," Pingzi said seriously, her face full of black lines.

"Cough cough."

The sound engineer transmitted the sound to Lin Han and Mang Zi's headphones through a microphone.

"Teachers, may we begin?"

The two then realized what had happened. Mangzi's face turned bright red, and she covered her face and lowered her head.

"Okay."

The sound engineer pressed play.

An ethereal prelude, accompanied by a slightly eerie violin, slowly emerges.

It's like the opening of a horror crime novel, a chant before a murder, with an air of mystery that's immediately apparent.

Everyone fell silent, staring wide-eyed at the eerie atmosphere.

"A clear December day in the alleyway in 1983."

Chapter Seven of the Night

The typewriter continued to be pushed forward.

The next line that gets closer to the truth

The smoke from the briar pipe drifted towards the withered tree, silently weeping to me.

... "

The last time I heard Lin Han rap was at his debut concert.

The song "I'm Really Not Asleep" almost made everyone's cup size go dry.

Even today, Orange Jam's "I'm Really Not Asleep" remains his lowest-rated song on various websites.

Like "Midnight DJ," this song is considered by netizens to be a prank song by Ju Zi Jiang. They believe that Ju Zi Jiang wrote this song to try different styles and prank her fans.

So it's not that people think Orange Jam's rapping ability is bad.

Instead, when rap is mentioned, people will think of the fear they once felt when they were dominated by the thought, "Even though she gave me roses, I really didn't sleep with her last night!"

But this time, Lin Han's rap truly changed everyone's perception.

Wow, I never knew rappers were this good!

What's more impressive than the rap itself is the song itself.

"The missing pistol, the charred cane"

Who wasn't present in the melting wax figure? The illusion of the symbols on the jewelry box.

The contradiction led to the perfect burial of the dead-end alley evidence he had painstakingly constructed.

The corners of his mouth curled up in a mocking smile at the Scottish police station.

Lin Han sang softly until this point.
