The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

Chapter 20 Writing Songs for the Music Chapter

Xiaoyue sat down on a sofa and saw Lin Jingyu standing shyly. She smiled and said, "Come and sit down. I just heard your conversation with the teacher. Do you want to sing "Green Grass by the River"? "

Seeing that Xiaoyue asked him to sit down, Lin Jingyu quickly sat down in front of Xiaoyue like a good kid, nodded and said, "Yes, but Teacher Chen said it's not suitable. Those old songs are always covered by others, and sometimes a song will be taken out by several people to participate in the competition, but there is nothing new."

"Hmm." Xiao Yue thought about it and suddenly remembered the song "Seeing Flowers in the Mist". It seemed to be a song written by an old man in his previous life to fight against counterfeiting. Many people thought it was a love song, but if you listen carefully you will find the deeper meaning.

"I have a song that may be suitable for the theme of this music festival, but I don't know your voice and I don't know if it is suitable." Xiao Yue decided to help this silly boy. After all, he is from Tianyu and a classmate, so he can be considered one of ours.

"Master Yue, I can send you my audio, you can listen to it."

The two added each other's contact information, and then Xiaoyue started listening to Lin Jingyu's audio.

Lin Jingyu waited obediently with a hopeful light in his eyes. Master Yue must like me!

Teacher Chen Lin also called the old principal.

"I'm telling you, Xiao Chen, you'd better have good news to tell me, otherwise I, an old man, will block you." As soon as the call was connected, an old man's roar was heard from the inside.

Teacher Chen Lin was so annoyed by the old principal's loud voice that she moved her phone far away from her ear.

Alas, this old man, even at his age, is still so angry.

"Teacher, Ren Yue, the arranger who won the Rookie of the Month award in May, is my student."

"What did you say?" There was a clanging sound coming from the other end of the phone. Something must have been broken.

"I said, the arranger Yue, who won the first place on the Newcomer Chart in May, is my student." Teacher Chen Lin, who is such a quiet person, actually shouted. She was afraid that the old man was deaf and couldn't hear her.

"You stupid girl, I'm getting so anxious that I'm about to get angry. Why are you telling me now? You're so unfilial." The old principal didn't care that his favorite teacup was broken into pieces and started cursing into the phone.

"Huh, I just knew about this five minutes ago." Teacher Chen Lin said dissatisfiedly.

Don't be fooled by the old principal's stern face all day long. He is actually a paper tiger who is still trying to save face. This time, for the music festival, he wants the music university to achieve good results, and he has racked his brains to think of ways to do so.

"Okay, old man, I forgive you. Who is that classmate Yue?"

"I can't tell you this. I promised my classmate to keep it a secret for her."

"Hey, you silly girl, I'm your teacher."

"Even if you are the king, this won't work. Don't worry, she has a song in this music festival. I'll let you know when there's good news. That's it."

Teacher Chen Lin took her cell phone and quickly returned to the office, only to see Cheng Xingyue listening to something on the sofa, and Lin Jingyu sitting next to her waiting obediently.

Could it be that Cheng Xingyue decided to write a song for Lin Jingyu?

When Xiaoyue saw Teacher Chen Lin coming back, she quickly stood up, and Lin Jingyu also stood up.

"Please sit down. You're welcome." Teacher Chen Lin gestured for them to sit down with a smile, and she also sat down next to Xiaoyue.

"Student Cheng Xingyue, are you going to write a song for Lin Jingyu?" Teacher Chen Lin asked excitedly and curiously.

Xiao Yue nodded and said, "I just listened to Lin Jingyu's audio. I have a song that might be suitable for him to sing. However, since we are participating in the school's music festival, the school may need to arrange a recording studio."

"That's great! Don't worry, I will call the principal right away and he will definitely reserve a recording studio for you. When do you want to record it?" Teacher Chen Lin didn't expect such a good thing. The old principal must be very happy.

"How about tomorrow?"

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you." Teacher Chen Lin said and left in a hurry.

"I'll write the music score and give it to you later. You should familiarize yourself with it today. We'll try to finish recording it tomorrow." Xiaoyue said to Lin Jingyu.

Lin Jingyu was so excited that he almost cried. What was the use of having a good voice? He must have a good song that suits him. Today he finally met his mentor.

"Yes, I will definitely work hard." Lin Jingyu had tears flickering in his eyes.

Xiaoyue took out a pen and paper from her bag and began to write.

"Teacher, my student wrote a song and needs to use the recording studio tomorrow. Can you arrange it for me?" As soon as the phone was connected, Teacher Chen Lin spoke without waiting for the old principal to speak, with a coquettish tone in her voice.

Oh, this girl hasn’t acted like a spoiled brat in so many years. What happened today?

"Which student?"

"It's Yue. She wrote a song for a male classmate and is going to participate in the music festival."

"Okay, the best one will be hers tomorrow." The old principal waved his hand and agreed. As long as it was good for the music university, he would basically not refuse.

"Thank you, teacher."

"Do you mind if I go and take a look tomorrow?" The old principal pretended to cough a few times before speaking.

"You are welcome to come, but don't advertise that she is Yue. This student is quite low-key." Teacher Chen Lin still advised.

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

When Teacher Chen Lin returned to the office, Xiaoyue had already written the music score and Lin Jingyu was reading it attentively.

“Mr. Yue wrote it so well. The song ‘Seeing Flowers in the Mist’ expresses a hazy and profound emotional state. It conveys a philosophical thinking of finding the truth in the fog and staying sober in a complex world. It is in line with the official call for anti-counterfeiting propaganda.” Lin Jingyu said excitedly, holding the music score so tightly in his hands that they turned white.

"Student Lin, can the teacher take a look?" Teacher Chen Lin asked shyly. She was very curious.

"Oh, sure, Teacher Chen." Lin Jingyu quickly calmed down and handed the music score to Teacher Chen Lin.

Teacher Chen Lin sat on the sofa and read it carefully.

“Seeing flowers in the fog and the moon in the water

Can you tell the difference between this ever-changing world?

Waves move, clouds fly, flowers bloom and fade

You can grasp this swaying season

The most troublesome night is the ruthless night

Laughing and smiling, could that be intimacy?

Tenderness is not necessarily considerate

Do you know which one is true and which one is false?

Which sentence is the condensation of love?

Lend me a pair of wise eyes..."

Through repeated choruses and themes, the song emphasizes how people try to understand and perceive in the face of an ambiguous reality, as well as the confusion and bewilderment they experience in the process and the realization they may eventually achieve. The song also expresses a profound reflection on complex issues such as life, love, and social phenomena, as well as a dialectical understanding of truth and falsehood.

"It's really good. This song will definitely be a hit." Teacher Chen Lin said excitedly.

"Teacher is too praised!"

The three of them chatted for a while about the competition rules of the music festival, and Xiaoyue also added teacher Chen Lin's contact information.

When he left, he was sent to the school gate by teachers Chen Lin and Lin Jingyu, which made the previous security guard smack his lips in amazement.

"Well, this is the first time I've seen a teacher send students to the gate. It's really rare."

Lin Jingyu even sent Xiaoyue to the entrance of the maglev tram, and then happily returned to the dormitory.

Before long, the entire Music Performance Department knew that there was a lucky person in their department who not only got into Tianyu, but also got the song written by Yue and will participate in the music festival next month.

Who is Yue? Anyone who has heard of "Green Grass by the River" knows her, especially those from music colleges. They are all here to play music and may not care who the singer is, but they must know who the arranger is.

Especially when I heard that Yue’s three songs were on the newcomer list this month, they all achieved very good rankings and she was even named “Yue God”.

"Ahhh, why don't I have such an opportunity? God Yue, please look at me..."

Especially in the evening, the TV series "A Dream of Red Mansions" was broadcast. The king of singers Deng Sikai's crossover to acting has always attracted much attention from his fans. When the fans heard about it, they all rushed to watch the show.

At the beginning, the theme song sounded, and those with a sharp right ear started shouting: "Hey, isn't this the song "A Dream in a Curtain" on the newcomer list?"

Someone immediately went to the music website to verify it, and then exclaimed: "Ahhh, it turns out to be the theme song of the same name."

Thanks to the fans' efforts, not only did the number of TV series views increase, but the number of downloads of the song "A Dream of Red Mansions" also increased rapidly, ranking third overnight.

This is a beautiful story of how the TV series and the song complement each other.
