Chapter 107
Chen Shen was ultimately led inside by the receptionist in a dazed state.
Although he still couldn't figure out the situation, just recalling Zeng Zeyou's seemingly shattered expression made him feel somewhat happy.
Only after walking into the studio did he gradually come to his senses and couldn't help asking the receptionist: "Excuse me, may I ask, the 'Sister Liang' you mentioned is...?"
"Celebrity Yao Bianliang, of course," the receptionist blinked. "I'm actually one of her fans."
Chen Shen's expression froze slightly, the tips of his ash-white hair slightly turned up, giving him a somewhat dumbfounded appearance.

That would mean... perhaps the person who gave him the business card was actually Yao Bianliang?
He couldn't help recalling the scene from that day. The person wore a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a mask, completely wrapped up—indeed the typical disguise of a celebrity.

No wonder she wasn't willing to reveal her true face. If she were a celebrity, that would certainly make sense.
But why on earth would she extend an olive branch to a novice like him?
Chen Shen couldn't understand at all.
The receptionist led him all the way to the reception room, and only then did he notice that he wasn't the only person brought there.

Several people sat on the sofa, quietly discussing something. Hearing footsteps, they all looked over.
Chen Shen's sharp eyes noticed that among them, a person with blue hair looked familiar.
"Hey, brother, you came too?" The blue-haired man waved enthusiastically. "Remember me? We met at the 'Best Music Producer' event that day."
Chen Shen remembered now—it was that day when this blue-haired brother and his companion chatted with him for quite a while.

They greeted each other.
Chen Shen couldn't contain his curiosity: "Were you all invited from the event site as well?"
Е nǔṁ ǎ.i̇ d
Blue Hair nodded: "Yeah, I never expected that someone with an F rating like me would be invited here."
A girl next to him hesitated: "Actually, I'm also F-rated..."
"What a coincidence, I'm F too. What about you all?"
"F-level +1."
"I'm F too."
The group exchanged glances, all falling into silence.

It seemed they were all F-level participants.
Chen Shen quietly asked Blue Hair: "What about your friend? Wasn't he invited?"
If he remembered correctly, that man should have been E-level.
"I don't know why either," Blue Hair rubbed his chin, pondering. "Perhaps because his rating was higher than ours, so Hudi Entertainment Studio wasn't interested?"
Chen Shen: "..."
Though it sounded absurd, this seemed to be the only reasonable explanation.

So what was going on with all this? Was his perception skewed, or was something wrong with the world?
In this state of existential doubt, Chen Shen waited with the others for Yao Bianliang.

Accompanying her were the scriptwriter and director for this project.
The subsequent conversation went smoothly, surprisingly so to Chen Shen.
Of course, since the film had a traditional Chinese theme, some people regrettably left due to style mismatch.
Almost all of the remaining people received contracts.
Ênu m̌ а̀ . ǐd
The contract terms were extremely generous. By the time Chen Shen finished reading all the clauses and walked out of the building in a daze, it was nearly evening.
It was dinner time, and most of the paparazzi at the entrance had left. Only a few particularly dedicated ones continued staking out while eating boxed meals, trying to take a few more photos.
The fiery sunset spread across the horizon, dazzlingly beautiful. Fresh air filled his nostrils, bringing him back to clarity.
This wasn't a dream—he had actually... signed a contract with Hudi Entertainment Studio!

A major musical film with an investment of over one hundred million yuan, starring a top domestic celebrity—such incredible luck, like pie falling from the sky, had somehow happened to him.
Chen Shen tightly gripped the contract, thoughts surging in his mind.
W еb̆n̂о̇vе̂ l̃ Е̃ n u̇ḿä
He still didn't understand why Yao Bianliang would sign them. Was it for novelty? Or did they truly have something special?
However, regardless of the reason, this was probably the only precious opportunity in his lifetime, and he had to give it his all.
"Traditional Chinese music..." Chen Shen muttered softly, a gleam flashing in his eyes, filled with bursting inspiration and passion.
Perhaps the time had finally come for him to fulfill his aspirations.

Inside the studio, Yao Bianliang was very satisfied with today's results.

After screening, she finally established cooperation with five composers, each having received an F rating from "Best Music Producer."
These were exactly the talents she needed!
With them, the quality of her new film was assured.
"Sister Liang, why did you reject these three candidates in the end?" Yan Xiaoli pointed at two names on the list, her eyes revealing confusion. "They're also quite knowledgeable about traditional Chinese music and should be suitable for our team."
Almost all the candidates who weren't signed had either no expertise in traditional Chinese music or knew nothing about it at all.
Yet these three candidates, who clearly had traditional Chinese works, were still regrettably declined.
W eb̊ n_ǒ v́ еl Еň ù m̀ ӓ
Yao Bianliang sighed: "Xiaoli, what do you think is the biggest difference between these three candidates and the others?"
Yan Xiaoli pondered: "These three candidates' songs are very similar to those popular traditional Chinese songs nowadays."

Yes, stylistically, these three candidates' songs better matched public taste and would be more likely to become popular.
The lyrics were simple, and the melodies were catchy.
Moreover, in one candidate's tune, some parts even carried echoes of other songs.
Realizing this, Yan Xiaoli seemed to understand: "Did you feel they imitated other songs, so you didn't hire them?"
Ẃ е̄ b_ṅ о̇ vē l Еn̆ um̂ a
If seven musical notes were identical, it would be plagiarism of other songs. But if only six notes matched, it would be harder to judge.
In the composition world, such "imitation" was commonplace.
In some cases, the original song doesn't become popular, but imitators slightly modify the tune, change the lyrics to more accessible language, and easily become viral.
Eventually, everyone assumes the plagiarist is the original creator, while the original creator becomes the one accused of "plagiarism."

But Yao Bianliang shook her head: "That's only one reason."
She had already noticed that one of the songwriters liked to appropriate melodies from other songs—a character issue.
Ѐn̊ um̆ а. їd
As for the other two songwriters, though they hadn't appropriated from other songs, their style shared many commonalities with popular music.
Yao Bianliang: "I'm not signing with them mainly because their style is heavily influenced by viral app hits and certain popular songs."
It's worth noting that her goal was to fade into obscurity!
If she signed such songwriters and they created catchy, brain-washing hits that the public loved and unexpectedly went viral, what then?
The risk was too great.
So, although they all received F-level ratings, Yao Bianliang ultimately chose to pass on them.

In comparison, those obscure and difficult-to-understand traditional Chinese songs felt more reassuring!
Yan Xiaoli revealed a thoughtful expression.
Indeed, they were filming a musical movie with strong artistic value and high quality requirements for the music.
These two candidates clearly lacked their own style; their songs lacked soul, and the final works would be more like products from an industrial assembly line.
Did they really need such products? Of course not.
The composers they needed must have rich inspiration and creative passion—the soul of the song must align with the soul of the script. Only then could they present a perfect artistic work.

"I see now, I understand!" Yan Xiaoli suddenly realized.
As expected of Sister Liang—even when facing a completely new field, she could still effortlessly see through to the key points.

Compared to her, Yan Xiaoli's vision was still too shallow, completely unable to consider deeper aspects.
With this thought, Yan Xiaoli couldn't help but develop more expectations for this musical film.
Perhaps this film could truly become a significant breakthrough in Chinese film history?
"But speaking of which," Yao Bianliang's finger lightly tapped the table, "after today's matter is concluded, I imagine news about the musical film will appear online before long."
Ẁ е̃bn о̊ v̈ еl Е̄ nǔ m̃.a
After all, paper can't wrap fire.
Yao Bianliang's fame was such that some candidates would inevitably leak information online, leading to rumors.
Of course, Yao Bianliang hadn't planned to hide it. Anyway, the media would eventually uncover this matter—whether exposed earlier or later made little difference.
She wondered how netizens would react upon learning she was making a musical film.

Just as Yao Bianliang was pondering, a "knock knock" sounded at the door, followed by Assistant Chen's voice.
"Sister Liang, are all the contracts signed?" he asked. "Director Shen has arrived. Shall we go to the sound testing room upstairs for a vocal test?"
Е̂ nu m̊ ӓ. і̃d́
Since this was a musical film, Yao Bianliang naturally needed to practice singing and dancing.
In her previous life, she had played dance-related roles, diligently practicing dance for a full two years, giving her a certain foundation.
But singing was different.
In Yao Bianliang's previous world, the film industry and music industry were quite separate. After all, different fields were like mountains apart, unlike this world where actors went to sing and singers went to act.
So, she knew absolutely nothing about singing!
If in this film she personally performed the songs, wouldn't that perfectly lower the quality of the entire film?

Yao Bianliang shared this plan with Director Shen, who naturally didn't refuse but suggested they could first conduct a vocal test to simply check the effect.
"All right, I'm coming right away," Yao Bianliang said cheerfully.
Director Shen was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a sharply defined face, wearing metal-framed glasses, giving off quite an artistic aura.
He had worked in musical theater for many years and had accumulated rich experience. However, in all those years, he had never participated in any film-related projects.
So when Director Shen recommended himself, Yao Bianliang didn't hesitate and immediately brought him on board.
Having a director who had never been involved with films make a film—what a perfect match!
W e b n ȯ_v́ еl Е́n̄ ů m̃ ӑ
Stage plays and films had significant differences; letting Director Shen take charge would surely result in an odd hybrid of a film.
"Director Shen, shall we start the vocal test now?" In the recording studio, Yao Bianliang adjusted the equipment with apparent competence while asking the director beside her.

Director Shen nodded, pushing the glasses on his nose with his finger: "Yes, I've specially selected several traditional Chinese songs. Teacher Yao, please try a segment."
With that, he pressed the play button, and soothing music filled the speakers.
❀⋆。°✿☆❀✿°。⋆❀
Outside the recording studio, separated by a wall, many staff members occasionally glanced in that direction, conversing in low voices.
E n̈ǔ m̀a.i d
The recording studio had excellent soundproofing; they could barely hear anything from outside. This very mysteriousness aroused everyone's curiosity.
Yao Bianliang not only had outstanding acting skills but could also write scripts and direct. They wondered what her singing voice would be like.
Since this wasn't a formal recording, the entire process didn't last long.
Ten minutes later, the recording studio door was finally slowly pushed open, and Director Shen walked out in a dazed state.

"Hey? Director Shen has come out."
Someone noticed the movement and immediately looked over.
Ěñ û mа́
They saw that Director Shen's fingertips were still trembling slightly, his eyes filled with shock, as if he still hadn't recovered.
Seeing his reaction, everyone couldn't help but feel anticipation rising.
"Director Shen, how did Sister Liang sing?"
Could it be that Sister Liang not only had superb acting skills but was also highly talented in singing?
Look, even Director Shen, who had been in musical theater for years, was deeply shocked by her singing!
"If Sister Liang sings very well, we can just use her original voice, right? No need to find a voice double."

"I had previously guessed that our Sister Liang was already developing in the direction of an all-around talent."
"Director Shen, how exactly is Sister Liang's singing? Can we go in and listen?"
Director Shen's lips trembled slightly. After steadying himself, he finally spoke slowly: "No, I advise you not to go listen."
Everyone: "?"
Director Shen's expression turned serious, carrying a grave tone: "If... you don't want your ears assaulted by her demonic voice."
Everyone: "..."
