I have a show to record on Wednesday.
The program is called "Xiao Ge Ju Zhong Hui". As the name suggests, it is a variety show mainly based on singing, but it is not very popular. The main reason why it has been able to continue to this day is that the production cost is low. It is a profitable program and it is an online variety show, so there is no problem of occupying time slots.
Zhou Ping'an asked Lu Yanhe to take this program because he knew that Lu Yanhe's singing was average and he would not be able to stand out in such a program.
But Lu Yanhe is quite willing to record this show.
Because it's not popular.
Lu Yanhe wasn't giving up on himself; he was genuinely willing to do it. After all, before crossing over, he was just an ordinary student with no experience as an entertainer, let alone facing the camera.
He also didn't know how he would look in front of the camera.
If you screw up, at least fewer people will know about it.
Lu Yanhe wanted to go on this show because it paid him 30,000 yuan in labor fees. Although the company would take 80% of it and he could only get 6,000 yuan, before tax, for him now, even the smallest amount was still meat.
No money in pocket, no confidence in heart.
Before participating in this program, Lu Yanhe had been thinking about a question.
That's how to prepare for this recording.
He was going to sing.
The format of the program is that each guest sings a song, and then sits together to chat, combining music variety show and slow variety show.
What song should we sing?
Lu Yanhe was actually thinking about a question. Now that he had this opportunity, should he use the golden finger of his time-traveling boss?
For example, sing "Ten Years" or "Backpack".
No, no, these two songs are too inappropriate for his age.
Moreover, the most crucial problem is that he can’t compose music... Can he just sing for free?
How about the musical instruments?
Today is Monday and the recording will start the day after tomorrow. He is an emergency guest. If we give him a new song, the live band will not be familiar with it and need to rehearse, which seems totally unfeasible.
Early Tuesday morning, Lu Yanhe learned from Zhou Pingan that Zhou Pingan had already communicated with the program team and Lu Yanhe would sing "Dream Chasing Boy", the theme song of the talent show he participated in that year, on the show.
"We don't have time to practice new songs, and the live band also needs to rehearse. Time is tight, so let's just sing "Dream Chaser"." Zhou Ping'an said in an unquestionable tone on the phone.
Zhou Ping'an didn't think Lu Yanhe would have any other opinions.
Then, he pushed over a person, who was the director assigned to Lu Yanhe by the program team.
"Just tell this person if you have anything to say."
The director's surname is Wang, and his name is Wang Lu.
Wang Lu: Hello Yan He, my name is Wang Lu, I’m your director, and your rehearsal time is tonight at 9:40.
Lu Yanhe was stunned and asked: Rehearsal?
Wang Lu: Yes.
Lu Yanhe finally realized that he was only thinking about recording the show tomorrow, but he didn't realize that there was a rehearsal before the official recording.
Lu Yanhe asked: Where is the rehearsal location?
Wang Lu sent a location.
Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it is not far from the school, about 12 kilometers, a 30-minute drive.
Just take a taxi there.
"Lu Yanhe, why are you in a daze?" Li Pengfei suddenly threw a ball of paper at him, interrupting Lu Yanhe's thoughts.
Lu Yanhe looked back at him, shook his head, and said, "Thinking about something."
"Wow, it's rare to see you distracted." Li Pengfei said, "I want to ask you, do you want to come to my house later this evening? My dad said he wants to treat you to dinner."
Lu Yanhe said in surprise, "Thank you for your kindness, uncle. It's a bit unfortunate because I have a rehearsal for a program recording tonight."
"Program recording?" Li Pengfei was a little surprised. "What program?"
"'Little Song Gathering'." Lu Yanhe said.
"Ah? What kind of show is this? I don't think I've ever heard of it before." Li Pengfei said bluntly, "But why are you suddenly going to record a show again? It's been quiet for more than half a month. I thought you didn't have any acting work anymore."
"It was on the news a few days ago, so I got a job," Lu Yanhe said. "Children from poor families have to take on responsibilities early, so any salary they can earn is a plus."
"How much can you earn?" Li Pengfei's eyes lit up. "I heard that you artists get paid hundreds of thousands or even millions for just recording a show. Treat us!"
"Brother, I only have a few thousand yuan, and you asked me to treat you." Lu Yanhe said, "I'm still worried. I have to rehearse tonight, and I don't know how to sing the song yet."
Although he still has the memories of his original body, the current Lu Yanhe is a complete newcomer.
First, he didn't understand the singing techniques, and second, he was not familiar with "Dream Chaser".
"Anyway, no one has any expectations of your singing, so it doesn't matter if you mess up." Luo Zicheng suddenly said this in a sinister tone, but he was afraid that Lu Yanhe and Li Pengfei would punch him again, so he left after saying that.
Li Pengfei curled his lips in disdain.
"Coward."
Lu Yanhe is still struggling with the matter of "Dream Chasing Boy".
If it really doesn't work, forget it.
This time he didn't have the chance to show off his golden finger as a time traveler, so he could only sing this song.
Even this song... Lu Yanhe found a video online of him singing this song with his teammates three years ago.
This song is actually not that difficult. The main theme is youthful vitality and passion.
However, considering Lu Yanhe's previous self-deprecating and timid appearance, his singing was indeed a bit out of place.
Even though Lu Yanhe didn't understand music, he knew that this song should be vigorous and youthful.
Lu Yanhe wore headphones and listened carefully several times during class breaks.
At least I know this song in my memory and can sing it, I just need to become really familiar with it.
I have to say that Lu Yanhe's vocal conditions are still good.
The original person sang timidly, but he could still hit the high notes.
At noon, Lu Yanhe went to the laboratory, found an empty classroom, and practiced the song several times.
Even though I was singing, it felt like I was listening to someone else singing.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that his singing was pretty good now.
"You're hiding here practicing singing by yourself." Chen Siqi's voice suddenly came from the back door.
Lu Yanhe was startled and looked back.
Chen Siqi stood with her arms folded across her chest, leaning against the back door frame.
"Why are you here?" Lu Yanhe asked.
"I was just asking you, I was studying peacefully next door when I heard someone singing and disturbing my studies." Chen Siqi curled her lips, "I didn't expect it to be you."
Lu Yanhe: "What's wrong with me?"
"Nothing, just a little surprised. Didn't you say you were going to take the college entrance exam and not pursue a career in acting?"
"I am going to take the college entrance examination, but I didn't say I won't pursue a career in acting." Lu Yanhe corrected him. "I just had no other options before, but now a program wants me to record an episode and I need to sing a song, so I came to practice. It shouldn't be so bad as to cause noise pollution, right?"
