The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

Chapter 57: Lotus Appreciation Poems at Pinghu Lake

Xiaoyue booked a dance studio on the ninth floor. The song "Youth Training Manual" she wrote for the Beyondboy boy band involved some dance moves. She didn't have time to teach them step by step, so she asked the company's dance instructor to help record it and let her teach them to practice.

I just recorded it once, and now I am watching the recording result with my dance instructor.

"There are three of them, and their standing positions are different, so the dance moves must be different. I can only perform this move in the C position..." Xiaoyue was explaining to the dance instructor.

Suddenly, the phone on the table vibrated.

When Xiaoyue saw that it was her tutor Chen Lin, she quickly said "sorry" and went out to answer the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Student Cheng Xingyue, this is the case. Professor Chen, who teaches you poetry appreciation, is my father. He received the poem you submitted as homework last night and thought it was very good. He wanted to post it on the official website of the Chinese Literature Association, but this requires your consent. I just came here to ask what you think..."

What? Professor Chen is the father of Chen Lin’s tutor. No wonder she signed herself up for a poetry appreciation class. Is she taking care of her father or taking care of me?

What? Post the poem to the official website of the Chinese Literature Association?

Xiaoyue thought about it carefully and decided that she could post it, but she must not use her real name as this would cause a lot of trouble.

"Can I use a pen name?" Xiaoyue asked.

How could Chen Lin not understand what Xiaoyue meant? This kid is just low-key and doesn't want to deal with some social interactions.

"Dad, can I post it under a pen name? This kid is low-key..." Chen Lin turned around and asked his father who was following behind and eavesdropping on the phone call.

"Hehe, sure, sure..." Professor Chen smiled awkwardly.

"Student Cheng Xingyue said yes." Chen Lin quickly passed the message.

Xiaoyue thought about it and thought about what pen name to use. It definitely couldn’t be Lou Zhongyue, otherwise her pseudonym would be revealed at school.

Yue has the same pronunciation as Yue, and the elegant name of Yue is Wangshu, so it would be better to call my pen name Wangshu.

"There is no time to light the official candle, but I hope to be in the middle of the stream. My pen name is Wangshu."

"Okay, that's a good name. You might become a mainstay in the future." Professor Chen's voice came from the phone.

It turned out that Professor Chen was getting anxious and snatched the phone from his daughter, and then he happened to hear what Xiaoyue said.

"Uh, hello, Professor Chen. You think too highly of me. It's just a name." Xiao Yue reacted quickly and greeted him. This professor should not be provoked or he would deduct credits for no reason.

Besides, I don't intend to be a mainstay. I write poetry for credits...

"Then I won't bother you anymore, Cheng Xingyue."

After hanging up the phone, Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief, then hurried back to the dance studio to continue recording her dance.

After the recording, Xiaoyue repeatedly told the dance instructor not to let the video leave the company.

On Friday, Xiaoyue took half a day off because she had a physical education class to attend.

There are even fewer students in this class, only twenty. The teacher is a very elegant female teacher, who is in her thirties, but her every frown and smile is incredibly beautiful.

The class was very easy. After all, Xiaoyue had a basic foundation in dance and she was able to complete the movements taught by the teacher in a standard manner. She also received praise from the teacher several times.

Xiaoyue happily made an appointment with three girls from the same dormitory and treated them to a meal in the small cafeteria, and then hurried back to Tianyu.

During the last group audition, Xiaoyue discovered a young girl named Sandra Wong, who was only eighteen years old, a freshman in the dance department, had a sweet look and a voice very much like Cyndi Wang. So she picked the song "The First Person I Loved" for her because her voice was suitable and her age was appropriate.

When Wang Junru arrived, Xiaoyue had just finished the audio.

"Hello, God Yue."

"Hello."

Xiaoyue saw that Wang Junru was standing shyly and it seemed that she was not a lively person, which was very different from her performance during the interview.

"Don't be formal, just sit down."

Xiaoyue handed her the printed music score and said, "This song also has a dance part. I think it shouldn't be difficult for you."

"Is this a singing and dancing song?" Sandra Wong's eyes were filled with surprise.

This song has a good melody, great lyrics, and dance, which is exactly what she thinks. Yue Shen is simply her soulmate.

"Yes, this song is very suitable for the stage. This song is made for you, so perform well."

"Thank you, God Yue."

"You go back first and come to practice dancing tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay, goodbye, God Yue."

"Goodbye."

Xiaoyue sighed. Tomorrow is Saturday. She has to record "Don't Want to Grow Up" with the Sweetheart Girls Group in the morning and teach dance in the afternoon. I hope this month will pass quickly. It's been so hard.

While Xiaoyue was sighing, the official website of the Chinese Literature Association became lively because of a poem called "Appreciating the Lotus at Pinghu Lake".

Some poems that rarely appear have all come out and expressed their analysis of the poem.

The famous poet Wu Sishi interpreted it this way: "This poem vividly depicts the unparalleled beauty of Pinghu Lake in Beijing in summer, and is a classic work that sings praises of this scenery. This poem expresses Wangshu's praise for the beauty of Pinghu Lake in June. At the same time, from the "different red", it can be seen that the author is sending his friend off with a cheerful attitude. From the poem, we can understand that Wangshu is walking on the road with his friend while chatting and laughing with his friend. Because only with such a "chatty" mentality can one appreciate the poetic and picturesque meaning of "the endless green lotus leaves connecting the sky, and the different red lotus flowers reflecting the sun"."

The great poet, Shepherd Old Man, said: "The lotus leaves are endless and green, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun." This sentence not only depicts the beautiful scenery of Pinghu in June, but also makes the beauty of lotus and the luxuriance of lotus leaves come to life through vivid metaphors and vivid descriptions, giving people a strong visual impact and aesthetic enjoyment. The poet Wangshu's poem describes the lotus very vividly in just four sentences, which can be called a classic. The "lotus leaves are endless and green" in the poem describes the luxuriance and boundlessness of the lotus leaves, while the "lotus flowers are red in the sun" vividly depicts the brightness and beauty of the lotus flowers in the sun. These two sentences not only show the characteristics of Pinghu's scenery in June, but also make the whole picture full of vitality and vigor through the vivid color contrast, making people feel as if they are in that beautiful scene. Wangshu is a great talent!"

The appreciations of these two people are truly brilliant. At the same time, they also acknowledged that this is a classic poem, and their evaluation of Wangshu is highly praised.

Therefore, many poets paid attention to this poet named "Wangshu".

Then someone in the comment section broke the news: "Wangshu's poems were uploaded with the help of Professor Chen Bin, a member of the Huaguo Literature Association. Wangshu is his student."

"Student? Does that mean he is still a student? He can't be a graduate student, right?"

"No way, can you write such a good poem at such a young age?"

"Will you find someone to write it for you? How can a young person write it like that..."

"Who knows, maybe Wangshu is just another flash in the pan..."

When Professor Chen saw those questioning remarks, he was so angry that he didn't even have dinner. He retorted back to the questioning remarks and even praised Wangshu's literary skills.

Finally, Professor Chen said arrogantly: "If you have the ability, ask someone to write a good poem like this for you..."

Everyone fell silent.

If anyone has such a good poem, would they be willing to share it with others?

This is all nonsense!

In the evening, Xiaoyue still took Dahuang for a run along Pinghu Lake. When passing by a lotus field, they saw an old man standing by the lake admiring the lotus from afar.

When he came closer, Xiaoyue was scared. Isn't this Professor Chen?

Could it be that he came to Pinghu specifically to see the lotus flowers just because of the poem "Appreciating the Lotuses at Pinghu"?

Fortunately, there were many people jogging at night by the Pinghu Lake, so Xiaoyue did not alarm Professor Chen and ran away with Dahuang.

On Saturday, Xiaoyue was in a bad mood because she hated working overtime.

Recording Studio No. 4 on the eighth floor is now basically Xiaoyue's exclusive recording studio. If other people want to use it, the staff will call and ask Xiaoyue if she is willing.

Xiaoyue is not a stingy person. She is happy to let others use things when she doesn’t need them herself.

The three girls from the Sweetheart Girls Group showed up at recording studio number four on time with their new manager, Sister Mei.

Xiaoyue noticed that they had changed their agent, and the new agent, Sister Mei, looked very steady.

Xiaoyue first observed the three girls' private practice and found that they were doing well and were very familiar with the song. Then she started trial recording. After recording, she began to correct them sentence by sentence, and then recorded again. After a whole morning of hard work, she finally completed the song "Don't Want to Grow Up".
