Little newbie breaks into the entertainment industry

Chapter 253: The Chant That Strikes the Soul

With just a guitar, Duan Yixiuan completed the adaptation of the entire song, and the crooked notes came alive on the paper.

Duan Yixiuan personally sang the adapted song for everyone.

It’s unexpectedly beautiful, without losing the grandeur and artistic conception of the original song.

Even the arranger teacher couldn't help but praise: "Your arrangement is great! But if you want to add instruments, it's best to add drums, guitar, bass, etc. Electronic keyboard is also OK, other instruments will be redundant."

"That doesn't matter. Yixuan and Deng Kai can play the instruments, and the three of us will just be responsible for singing." Jian Xia made a prompt decision.

You cannot destroy the arranged song just to add instruments.

"I agree!" He Yufei immediately raised her hand with a smile. Without musical instruments, she felt much less pressure.

After all five people agreed, they began to practice.

The simplest part was still left to He Yufei. Fortunately, He Yufei worked hard and did not make any obvious mistakes.

They didn't add any dancing, and everyone practiced singing seriously.

This time, mentors Qi Heng and Zhang Mengying stayed in the stage recording hall, watched the contestants rehearsals throughout, and were responsible for providing opinions and guidance.

The other three mentors visited the contestants' practice rooms, firstly to show their concern, and secondly to give guidance and some good suggestions.

After all, the focus of this competition is song adaptation, which is somewhat difficult. The instructor can help the students complete the assessment smoothly.

However, when the mentors arrived at rehearsal room No. 4, Jian Xia and the others had already stepped out of rehearsal room No. 7 and went to the stage recording hall for rehearsal.

When Qi Heng saw Jian Xia, he was obviously very surprised: "Jian Xia, can you rehearse so soon?"

Jian Xia was also surprised to see the two of them. She raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Hello, teachers. Well, we want to rehearse on stage to get a better feel for it, so we'll rehearse at the same time."

At this time, the director, stage director, and head of the sound team all arrived.

"Hello, director. These are our adapted songs. In addition, we also need a bass guitar. Can you provide it to us?" Jian Xia handed over seven sets of adapted music scores.

The director and the head of the music group were very surprised after watching it.

"Okay, I'll get it for you." The head of the music group immediately ran over to get a bass and handed it to Jian Xia, who then took it and handed it to Duan Yixuan.

"Thank you! Can we start?" Jian Xia asked directly.

"Okay, I'll go show your piece to the musicians, and we'll start in ten minutes."

Qi Heng was also very curious: "Who among you adapted the song?"

Just as He Yufei was about to speak, Jian Xia stopped him and asked Qi Heng meaningfully: "Guess."

Qi Heng smiled and looked at the five of them one by one, then pointed at Deng Kai and Duan Yixuan: "The two of them?"

Jian Xia clapped her hands and looked at Qi Heng, slowly shaking her head. Just when Qi Heng thought he had guessed wrong, he heard her say seriously: "Tsk tsk tsk, worthy of being the King Qi, amazing, Duan Yixuan completed it all by herself."

Zhang Mengying's eyes lit up, and she immediately gave Duan Yixuan a thumbs up: "Wow, that's amazing!"

Duan Yixuan smiled and said, "But many of the ideas for the adaptation were provided to me by Jian Xia and Deng Kai."

Qi Heng looked at Jian Xia and laughed: "I almost thought you adapted it. Hahaha."

"How do you know it wasn't adapted by me?" Jian Xia asked him curiously.

Qi Heng coughed lightly, looked at Jian Xia and smiled: "Because I know you, you have never learned to arrange music, not even systematic music. So, I think you probably can't adapt it! And these two are professional musicians, so adapting music is not difficult for them."

Jian Xia rolled her eyes at Qi Heng unconvincedly, snorted arrogantly, and argued: "Humph, I also know a little bit, but I'm not proficient in it!"

"Hahaha..." Qi Heng laughed.

The others looked at their familiarity, with gossipy expressions in their eyes.

He Yufei, a CP fan, was on high alert and stared closely at Qi Heng and Jian Xia.

Fortunately, the sound team was ready soon.

Jian Xia immediately came back to her senses and went on stage with the four members to start practicing.

As the background music sounded, the explosive drum beats and strong sense of rhythm made the people present excited!

This time, all five of them sang together: "Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah..."

Among the vocal performances that set the whole audience on fire, the most distinctive one was Jian Xia's soprano voice. Her harmony singing was different from that of the other four.

Qi Heng stared at Jian Xia with his eyes wide open, and the stage lights shone on Jian Xia.

Such ethereal and high-pitched notes, mixed with electronic music, surprisingly hit the soul directly.

Zhang Mengying opened her mouth wide and stood up in shock.

The boldness and unrestrainedness of rock music, everyone sings it in their own way!

"I love the freedom of the wind, so carefree~oh~"

"Love trees are steadfast and down-to-earth~oh~"

"Arxue is so silent and cold~"

"Then why do you love rain? I think I am just being too proud to let go of my love for you which is like a storm~...Yeah~..."

The whole hall was filled with passion! The director and the staff were all shaking their heads!

After the performance, Jian Xia smiled and clapped with the other students: "Ah, that's great!"

She enjoyed singing very much. To be honest, she personally likes rock music. Singing rock music is a way for her to vent and enjoy the stage to her heart's content.

Rock itself is a kind of rebellious music!

Qi Heng also came over and high-fived Jian Xia: "You really surprised me! Is there anything else I don't know?"

Jian Xia laughed and said, "There are many! Hahaha~"

You can see that she is very happy at the moment.

However, at this moment, Cao Bing walked up to her and handed her the phone: "Miss, your number."

Jian Xia took the phone and went to the side to answer it: "Hello?"

"Hello, Miss Jian Xia. I am Wang Changyuan, a director of the China Oil Painting Association. I heard that you are in Kyoto. We are holding a painting exhibition dinner and charity auction in Kyoto tomorrow night. The paintings you have placed in the association will also be displayed at this exhibition dinner, so I would like to invite you to participate. What do you think?"

Auction? She hadn't attended one in such a long time!

"Ms. Jane Xia?"

Jian Xia immediately smiled and said, "I'm here. Hello, Director Wang. Thank you very much for your invitation. I'm recording a program. If I have time tomorrow, I will definitely be there. Please send me the address and time!"

"Okay, okay, I'll send it to you right away. Also, I'd like to ask you if you're willing to auction your painting? All the proceeds from this auction will be used as charity to support children with special needs."

Jian Xia thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, my painting has special meaning to me, so I won't auction it for now."

"Okay, I understand! Go ahead and do your work. I'll send you the address and time right away!"

"OK, thanks!"

After hanging up the phone, Jian Xia quietly waited for the other party to send the address and time, and then quickly dialed an unfamiliar number, copied the information and sent a text message:

"See you tomorrow night, bring something."

The other party replied almost immediately: "OK!"

After sending it, he deleted it and handed the phone to Cao Bing: "Let me drink some water."

Cao Bing put his phone away and immediately took out the cup of water and handed it to her.

"Miss, are you going to attend the event tomorrow night?" Cao Bing asked.

Jian Xia nodded and said nonchalantly: "Well, tell my dad that there is an oil painting exhibition and my paintings are there, so I'm going to take a look. You guys can go with me."

"Yes." A smile appeared on Cao Bing's face.

"Jian Xia, come quickly, let's rehearse again!" Zhang Xingyue waved and shouted at Jian Xia.

"Here I come." After saying that, Jian Xia took another sip before handing the cup to Cao Bing and walking towards the stage.
