When Jiang Mu heard the knock on the door, she thought it was someone visiting again, so she asked Xia Senyuan to open the door.
"Go open the door. I'll make two copies of the score, one for each of us."
Xia Senyuan didn't like those people who came to visit him. He felt that they all came for Jiang Mu and surrounded Jiang Mu when they came.
So he asked seriously before opening the door: "Who is it?"
Luo Xueqi stood outside the door and answered softly: "I am Luo Xueqi."
Jiang Mu was stunned when she heard Luo Xueqi's voice. What was she doing here?
She stood up and grabbed Xia Senyuan, asking him not to open the door. After thinking about it, she decided to cover the music score with a book.
"What do you want? We just took a shower and we're not even dressed yet. If you have anything to say, just talk outside."
Jiang Mu shouted outside.
Luo Xueqi: "…"
Su Lai looked at Jiang Mu, a little confused. Everyone was obviously dressed neatly, so why did Jiang Mu say he had no clothes on? Didn't he want Luo Xueqi to come in?
Jiang Mu whispered, "This is a boys' dormitory. It's not nice for girls to come in."
Jiang Mu's words were righteous. Su Lai thought about it and felt that they made sense, so he nodded.
Xia Senyuan took a look at their dormitory. Instead of being messy, it was tidy and clean. After all, he was a mysophobe and cleaned it every day.
But he didn't care. If Jiang Mu said not to open it, then he didn't open it.
Anyway, he and Luo Xueqi are not familiar with each other.
Luo Xueqi said unwillingly, "I have something to tell you. I'll wait for you to get dressed."
Jiang Mu always felt that there was nothing good about Luo Xueqi coming to see her. The competition was about to begin, so was she here to inquire about the situation?
Jiang Mu: "What's so important?"
Luo Xueqi: "I just want to ask how your adaptation is going and if you need any help. I can give you some suggestions."
Jiang Mucai didn't believe her nonsense.
She had heard from that big mouth Chen Xicheng that Luo Xueqi's team had no clue at all and had made no progress yet. Yet she was still giving her suggestions. She was just fooling a fool.
Jiang Mu said with a smile: "No need, we have finished editing it, haven't you heard?"
Luo Xueqi: "Really? Congratulations. We will have a group PK tomorrow. How about we go to the practice room to rehearse together? This way we can help each other see if there are any problems."
Jiang Mu wanted to laugh. This guy is really good at pretending.
If she hadn't known that their team hadn't made up their mind at all, she would have believed her.
Jiang Mu asked doubtfully, "Can you rehearse today? But I heard that you just changed the beginning."
Luo Xueqi: "…"
Jiang Mu suddenly opened the door.
It was quite funny to see Luo Xueqi's face turning blue.
Luo Xueqi was startled. She never expected Jiang Mu to suddenly open the door. She couldn't control the expression on her face. Annoyance, anger and embarrassment were all written on her face.
"Do you need our help? If you really can't write it well, just tell us and we will definitely help if we can." Jiang Mu patted Luo Xueqi's shoulder generously.
Luo Xueqi's face became more and more ugly.
Jiang Mu continued, "Actually, this song is quite difficult to modify. It's normal that you have no idea. Don't be discouraged. Come on! Those of us with strong abilities are willing to help the weak."
She turned to look at Su Lai, "Su Su, don't you think so? Are you willing to help Luo Xueqi too? They are in such a difficult situation. They still don't know how to adapt the story. And Luo Xueqi and her friends are so kind. They haven't even finished the story yet, but they still want to help us. It's really touching."
Su Lai could only understand the surface meaning of what was said. He felt that what Jiang Mu said was absolutely correct, but he didn't know why Luo Xueqi looked so bad. Maybe she was too worried.
Su Lai looked at Luo Xueqi with some sympathy, and said sincerely: "Well, yes... yes."
Luo Xueqi felt insulted.
What does Jiang Mu mean by this?
Are you showing off to her?
Laugh at her?
But Luo Xueqi couldn't get angry because she was the one who asked to be slapped in the face.
If she loses her temper at this time, she will be totally unreasonable.
And when she knocked on the door just now, the door next to it also opened. The people living next door happened to be Ming Su, Chen Xicheng and Fu Yan.
Their door was open, so maybe they could hear her conversation with Jiang Mu.
Luo Xueqi could only swallow her anger, even if it meant breaking her teeth.
"No need, it's nothing. We have actually already thought about it. We just had no idea before." Luo Xueqi forced a smile and squeezed out a few dry words.
Jiang Mu continued her words: "Really? That's great. Are you okay? Then go back and get ready. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. I'm sure we'll meet a worthy opponent then."
Luo Xueqi: "…"
Luo Xueqi left dejectedly. Chen Xicheng, who had been very lively in the dormitory next door, came out and ran into their dormitory before Jiang Mu closed the door.
Chen Xicheng: "Great job, Jiang Chen, you made Luo Xueqi almost cry."
"Really?" Jiang Mu pretended to be dumbfounded. "How did I insult her? Didn't I say I would help her? But she didn't want to."
"How can you call that help? It's an open sarcasm and a veiled attack. But Luo Xueqi is also weird. Everyone knows that you have already adapted the work, but she still comes to you and says she wants to help you. Isn't she stupid?"
Jiang Mu smiled and said, "She is not stupid."
Chen Xicheng: "She is a girl, you should give her some face."
Jiang Mu: "I'm very considerate. Look how gentle I am to her."
Chen Xicheng: "It's very gentle, but I think the gentler you are, the more embarrassed she becomes."
Jiang Mu: "Then there is nothing I can do."
Chen Xicheng touched his head. He felt that Jiang Mu did nothing wrong in this matter. He also felt uncomfortable listening to Luo Xueqi's words. He just asked Ming Su, and Ming Su also said that there was nothing wrong with what Jiang Mu said, and Luo Xueqi deserved to be slapped in the face.
Chen Xicheng had known Ming Su for a long time, and they had always been friends, so he knew that Ming Su was an expert at identifying bitches.
Friends often ask him for advice on emotional problems, and he can usually give good solutions.
Later, I don't know how it happened, but after Ming Su helped a friend figure out that his suitor was actually a green tea fake socialite, Ming Su's status among his friends rose sharply.
The domineering president is no longer the label he is in the eyes of his friends; the expert in identifying bitches is.
So as long as it was about the opposite sex, Chen Xicheng believed what Ming Su said.
Since he said that Jiang Mu was right, then there must be something wrong with Luo Xueqi.
What's more, Jiang Chen is his buddy. Between buddy and woman, of course he would choose buddy.
Chen Xicheng thought as he hugged Jiang Mu, "Jiang Chen, how are you preparing? I'm looking forward to hearing you!"
"Don't worry, I'll let you kneel down and call me daddy when the time comes."
"Oh, that's crazy."
"That's right." Jiang Mu was very confident this time.
Just then, a staff member from the program crew came to the dormitory and told them to gather after dinner that day, as Gu Wenyan was going to give them a small class.
Upon hearing the news, Chen Xicheng slipped back into his dormitory.
Ming Su has already received the notification from another staff member.
Chen Xicheng said, "Why did Teacher Gu suddenly think of giving us a class? Is he afraid that there will be a disaster tomorrow?"
Ming Su: "Maybe."
He paused and changed the subject, "What did you do in the dormitory next door just now?"
Chen Xicheng: "I didn't do anything. I just went to talk to Jiang Chen for a while."
Ming Su: "What did you say?"
Chen Xicheng: "Nothing much, it's just that he insulted Luo Xueqi quite badly."
Ming Su nodded, "So what did he say?"
Chen Xicheng was a little surprised. Why did Ming Su suddenly care about this? "He said he didn't have any, and he said he was very gentle to Luo Xueqi."
Ming Su curled the corners of his lips and smiled, "Oh."
Chen Xicheng stared at Ming Su and said suspiciously, "You are very strange. Are you hiding something from me?"
"No." Ming Su looked away and started to fix his drum set.
Chen Xicheng snorted, "There must be something. Forget it if you don't say it. Based on my understanding of you, I will find out soon."
Ming Su smiled and said, "Then you can slowly discover it."
Chen Xicheng: "I know, it must be related to Jiang Chen, right?"
Ming Su didn't answer directly, "You keep guessing."
Chen Xicheng saw that he couldn't get any information out of her, so he gave up and said, "I'll find out eventually."
"Stop dawdling, are you two going to eat?" Fu Yan said unhappily, "Didn't we say we'll gather after dinner?"
Chen Xicheng: "Go ahead, why are you in such a hurry? You should know that you are now a member of our Fame Club. Your heart should be with us. Don't always think about Ning Yulan. Our President Ming is your big brother."
Fu Yan rolled his eyes at them speechlessly. If he hadn't lost last time, he and Ning Yulan would not have separated.
Fu Yan didn't get along well with Chen Xicheng and Ming Su. He still wanted to be in a group with Ning Yulan, but it seemed there was no way at the moment.
If he wants to stay, he can't lose and has to compromise.
…..
After dinner, everyone rushed to the classroom to gather.
Gu Wenyan came very early, he arrived before everyone else.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he asked everyone to sit down and began to explain the purpose of today's class.
"It's like this. I'm teaching today for tomorrow's group competition. This competition will determine which group of you will be able to bring your own adapted work to the stage. This is very important."
After Gu Wenyan finished speaking, his gaze fell in the direction of Jiang Mu.
"And after the results of the competition come out, we will be on stage the next day. We will rehearse during the day and perform at night. The rehearsal time is very tight. If we don't make a decision today, it will be too late by then. I believe you all know the seriousness of the matter, so I opened this class today to check your results over the past few days."
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, some were full of confidence, while others were worried.
"Now, each group leader will come up and show me the revised score, and talk about their progress and everyone's division of labor. Who will go first?" After Gu Wenyan finished speaking, everyone was a little moved, but the first one to stand up was Ning Yulan.
Gu Wenyan was very satisfied after looking at Ning Yulan's music score. He couldn't find any faults with it. He just pointed out a few points that might cause problems and asked him to pay attention to them during the performance.
Next it was Gu Wenyan's turn to call out names.
The group he was most interested in this time was the "Endless Rain" group, so the first group he called was this one, "Group A of "Endless Rain", come up."
Group A is Luo Xueqi's group, and Group B is Jiang Mu's group.
Luo Xueqi didn't even take the score. Their adapted score was incomplete and couldn't be read.
After hearing what Gu Wenyan said just now, her heart was beating fast and she was extremely nervous.
But when Gu Wenyan called her, she could only bite the bullet and walked up to him, pretending to be calm and saying, "Teacher, I didn't bring the score. Our song is a bit difficult. So far, we have only changed more than half of it, and the ending is not finished yet."
Gu Wenyan's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "It's okay, come here and tell me your ideas and thoughts, I'll help you think about it, and everyone else should also sort out their thoughts. Those who didn't bring the music score can take this opportunity to go back and get it."
Luo Xueqi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Gu Wenyan did not come just to check the results, but wanted to help them.
Luo Xueqi saw hope and walked forward quickly.
After listening to Luo Xueqi's adaptation ideas, Gu Wenyan frowned at first, and then pointed out several problems.
"First, you changed the whole tone of the song, and the song has completely lost its original flavor. Second, you changed the lyrics to Chinese. I don't know what you think. I just want to say that this is a very thankless approach. How do you plan to change the Chinese lyrics? Copy the translation? Third, you said you don't want piano music, so what instrument do you plan to use? What instrument can express the sound of rain more perfectly than the piano?"
Gu Wenyan's comments could be described as very harsh.
Everyone who heard it was shocked.
This was the first time they saw Gu Wenyan being so harsh and speaking so mercilessly.
Luo Xueqi's eyes were red.
Gu Wenyan also realized that his attitude was a bit too much, but after listening to what Luo Xueqi said, he really couldn't help it.
He already regretted bringing his favorite classic to the show and giving it to these kids.
They are too young.
Even if you have talent, you don't know how to use it.
Gu was very disappointed when he heard this, but he was not entirely disappointed with Luo Xueqi.
"But you have some good ideas that you can keep. There is still time. Make changes tonight. It's not too late."
Gu Wenyan didn't want Luo Xueqi and the others to give up completely. They had to keep hope until the last moment.
Even though he knew in his heart that given the current situation, it would be a miracle to adapt a satisfactory product in such a short time.
Gu Wenyan talked a lot with Luo Xueqi. Regardless of how much inspiration he gave to Luo Xueqi, at least he gave her a very good direction.
Gu Wenyan even told Luo Xueqi some of his ideas without reservation.
The more Luo Xueqi listened, the more she felt that she still had hope. She began to be thankful that she came up before Jiang Mu. At least Gu Wenyan had told her all this, and he would not tell Jiang Mu the same experience again.
Wouldn't that be repetitive?
With this advantage, Luo Xueqi felt that she could still win.
No matter how well Jiang Mu improves himself, he can't be better than Gu Wenyan.
Luo Xueqi secretly made up her mind that she would finish revising the song even if she couldn't sleep tonight.
She couldn't let God down, nor could she waste her efforts these days.
…..
Jiang Mu was feeling a little sleepy downstairs. He didn't know how long Luo Xueqi would linger on. Gu Wenyan had clearly finished speaking, but she kept asking questions. It was obvious that she wanted to squeeze the hell out of Gu Wenyan.
Jiang Mu's brain had begun to wander, and she was thinking about all sorts of things.
She originally thought that it would be her turn after Luo Xueqi went upstairs, but Luo Xueqi had been gone for forty minutes and showed no intention of coming down.
At first, she was fully focused on waiting for Gu Wenyan's call.
Who knew she would have to wait so long? She looked at Su Lai boredly and whispered, "Su Lai, I'm hungry."
"Ah? Then... what should we do?" Su Lai said anxiously.
Jiang Mu said: "Let's go to the supermarket together after class?"
"Okay." Su Lai nodded, "But... but... no... I don't know when... the get out of class will end. She... she's been upstairs... for a long time."
Jiang Mu sighed. See, even Su Lai felt that Luo Xueqi was being timid. If she didn't have the ability, then she didn't have the ability. Why did she insist on taking on the responsibility? Even if you ask for a long time, when your sister comes up later, she will still kill you instantly.
"Are you guys going to the supermarket? I want to go too. I had just eaten two bites of food in the evening when Ming Su dragged me here." Chen Xicheng said in a low voice as he sat next to them.
Jiang Mu gave him an OK sign.
Ming Su: "I'll go too."
Chen Xicheng was shocked. "You're going too? Don't you never go to the supermarket? I always buy things for you. Where's Mr. Ming's pride?"
Ming Su remained calm and said, "I want to go."
"You are so willful. I hope you will want to go in the future." Chen Xicheng pursed his lips.
"That depends on the situation," Ming Su said frankly.
Jiang Mu looked at Ming Su, wondering if she was overthinking. She always felt that Ming Su said he wanted to go because of her?
Ming Su's gaze also drifted towards Jiang Mu.
Jiang Mu said calmly, "It's ok for Ming Su to go. Mr. Ming will treat us. We'll clear out all the snacks."
Chen Xicheng gave a thumbs up and said, "Your idea is very good. Let's do it."
While they were chatting, Gu Wenyan finally couldn't stand Luo Xueqi anymore and said directly: "Okay, you just stop here, think about it first, and discuss it with your teammates."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Mu, and saw at a glance that Jiang Mu was smiling brightly, her eyes were full of brilliance, and he was very likable.
Gu Wenyan has always had a good impression of Jiang Mu, but he is in a bad mood at the moment, so he doesn't like Jiang Mu so much. Besides, Jiang Mu is also from the "Endless Rain" group. After hearing how he scolded Luo Xueqi just now, she could still laugh like this, looking so heartless. Doesn't she have any pressure or sense of crisis at all?
He wanted to see how her adaptation was this time. Don't mention that she didn't have the score. He had just given them time to go back and get it, but he didn't see her move.
Gu Wenyan stared at Jiang Mu and said in a deep voice: "Endless Rain Group B, Jiang Chen is the captain, right? Come up."
Gu Wenyan's tone was serious and sounded scary.
Su Lai was frightened anyway.
He held Jiang Mu's hand in a panic, "Jiang Chen...you..."
Jiang Mu smiled and said, "It's okay. You have to have confidence in us. I will definitely not be scolded if I go up there."
Su Lai: "Yeah! I...I believe you."
"Okay, wait for me obediently."
Chen Xicheng next to him joked: "If I don't know, I might think Su Lai is your little wife. I have goose bumps all over my body."
Su Lai stammered, "Jiang Chen and I...are...are...okay..."
Chen Xicheng interrupted him, "Good friends! I know, good gays are good friends."
Jiang Mu took out the wrinkled music score from her pocket, unfolded it, and said regretfully, it was all because of that Luo Xueqi who interrupted her. She was already copying the new score at that time, and she was delayed by her. Now she could only use the old one, which had been stuffed in her pocket for the past few days and was wrinkled.
Gu Wenyan frowned when he heard them talking: "Why aren't you coming up yet?"
Jiang Mu shouted loudly, "I'm here, Teacher Gu. My music score is wrinkled. I'll straighten it out."
Everyone laughed out loud.
Chen Xicheng laughed the loudest.
Gu Wenyan was also amused, but he still held back his laughter and looked at her seriously, "Why are you so slow? I heard that your group had already finished the revision."
Jiang Mu smiled and said, "Who told you?"
"Don't worry about who told me this. Just bring the score to me and let me see how the changes are." Gu crossed his arms across his chest, looking indifferent.
Jiang Mu handed over the score respectfully, smiling brightly, "Teacher Gu, please take a look. The revisions are quite good."
Being so close, Gu Wenyan couldn't help but be infected by Jiang Mu's smile, and his mood inexplicably improved.
He took the score, and while reading it, he said, "You are so playful. If you don't change it well... I will..."
He suddenly stopped in the middle of his words.
"This..."
