Louis originally didn't experience much family and friendship due to his past busyness. But here, he found family and friends, so compared to others, he cherished these hard-won relationships more.
Anyone who harms his family or friends, Louis will naturally find a way to help them get justice.
After Andrew left, Louis suddenly felt a bit lonely. Even though he had come alone just two days ago, the loneliness became more apparent after experiencing the lively atmosphere here.
Fortunately, this loneliness didn't last long. Just after 9 a.m., Louis received a call from Bailey.
His song was selected by Huayin!
According to Bailey, they picked his song at a glance from among thousands of submissions.
Bailey sounded excited. She called Louis when she was already downstairs at the hotel. Huayin was preparing to shoot a music video and needed Louis, the lyricist and composer, to come to the scene to give some guidance.
They said "guidance," but it was more about giving opinions. After all, the song was his creation, so he could better feel how the MV should be shot and how the song should be sung.
It was Huayin!
Louis tidied himself up, freshened up, and then went downstairs.
Outside the hotel, Bailey was still driving the gray Mercedes. If you didn't know, you might think it was an old man driving. The tastes of mature women were different from those of other young girls!
Bailey saw Louis and smoothed out the bangs on her forehead, her eyes shining.
"Haven't noticed! Dressing up, you're quite the looker!"
Louis rubbed his nose, automatically ignoring Bailey's gaze.
"Let's go! It's getting late. The sooner we start, the sooner we finish, and we can still catch lunch!"
Without further ado, Louis got into the backseat, and Bailey rolled her eyes. Was the front passenger seat not big enough for him?
As they got into the car, Bailey said while driving, "The director responsible for shooting the MV at Huayin called and praised you all the way. How about it? Do you have any ideas for the MV and the lead singer? Don't drop the ball when you get there!"
Bailey was obviously worried because Louis was young and hadn't experienced such a scene before. She wanted to tell him some things in advance.
"Don't worry, I got it!"
Louis remained calm, showing no signs of nervousness. Instead, it seemed like Bailey, the supporting role, was more nervous than the main character.
Bailey glanced at him through the rearview mirror and found that he indeed didn't seem nervous. She didn't mention it again.
At 9:40, the car stopped at the entrance of a building. Louis and Bailey got out of the car one after the other. Louis looked up and saw the big sign on the building.
They had arrived at the TV station.
Below was a row of small characters: Huayin Headquarters.
Exuding dominance!
Louis hadn't expected that he himself had never been here before.
Bailey walked ahead, urging Louis, who was still lingering behind. As they entered the building, it seemed that Bailey had made arrangements in advance. As soon as they entered the building, a group of people came to greet them.
At the forefront was a gray-haired old man. Although the old man was old, he was strong and looked vigorous, with a twinkle in his eyes.
This old man didn't look like other old people at all, with no hint of dullness in his eyes.
Following him were a group of middle-aged people, all in their forties. This made Bailey and Louis stand out as very special.
Not only were they unusually young, but why did a group of middle-aged people come to greet two young people?
The other staff in the building occasionally cast curious glances at them, looking at Louis and Bailey with a probing expression.
"Grandpa, why did you come down in person! If my dad finds out, he'll scold me to death!"
Bailey quickly stepped forward, holding the old man's hand and acting coquettishly.
This action startled Louis!
The mature woman was acting coy, and even a fairy wouldn't be able to resist it!
Sure enough, the smiling old man's face lit up with joy, full of indulgence.
"Girl, spare me this! Your dad dares to scold you? If you don't beat him, he should light some incense and pray, haha!"
"Grandpa!"
The rare blush appeared on the mature woman's face, and she pouted.
"Alright, alright, let's talk business. Is this Mr. Louis? Truly a young hero! Talented and promising!"
"Grandpa, please, thank you for your praise. I'm Louis."
Louis politely nodded towards the old man.
"Good, good! Talented and courteous, no wonder you could write this song!"
"I'm in charge of this MV. If you don't mind, you can call me grandpa along with my granddaughter."
Seeing Louis's politeness and natural demeanor, the old man felt even happier.
This was exactly how he had imagined Louis to be: deep and talented, yet grateful. Such young people were rare nowadays!
"Grandpa, I wouldn't dare to be impolite."
Louis always wore a gentle smile, giving off a warm and sunny vibe.
"Alright! Shall we go upstairs?"
Everyone was very happy, and even the way they addressed Louis changed. The old man directly took Louis's hand and led him to the elevator without introducing the people behind him.
Louis could only reluctantly follow, but he still nodded to the middle-aged people behind him.
The elevator went straight up to the 20th floor. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Louis was pulled into the recording studio.
"I heard from my granddaughter that you sing very well. Can you sing it for us first? We haven't heard this song since we received it. The lead singer hasn't been decided yet."
"Sure."
Louis nodded in agreement.
"Louis, acapella or with piano?"
"Piano. This song only needs piano accompaniment."
"Alright."
When it came to business, everyone became noticeably more serious. They left Louis alone in the recording studio while taking the others outside.
As the staff turned on the microphone, a group of middle-aged people also eagerly awaited, watching Louis sit in the recording studio, preparing his emotions.
Louis got into work mode and was very focused. To those outside, the visible changes in Louis's expression in the recording studio were evident.
Grandpa Bailey nodded in approval. This was what a true musician should be like!
When a musician sings, they should first imbue the song with emotions, rather than just howling like a ghost.
Inside, Louis started playing the piano, and even the ordinary prelude sounded impressive.
Everyone outside held their breaths, listening to the piano. Their eyes were fixed on the studio without blinking.
"Perhaps far away or maybe yesterday, here or across the shore. The long journey of parting and reuniting, people gathering and dispersing."
Just after hearing one sentence, everyone's eyes widened suddenly.
Yes! This was exactly the kind of presentation he had in mind!
When they first saw this song, they knew, but hearing it now gave them an even greater impact!
The several middle-aged people looked at each other in amazement. They didn't expect that when this song was truly sung, it would be like this!
Even Bailey, although it was her second time hearing Louis sing this song, couldn't help but be captivated by Louis in the studio.
This Louis was so charming!
Louis was completely unaware of this. He was already immersed in the song, wanting to sing it better than ever, without any regrets.
"Someday we may go far away, perhaps we can meet again. Whether in the crowd or in the sky, let me see your face again.
Even if tears fill my eyes and my face is covered in tears, I don't need the halo of a god, just your ordinary self!"
As the song gradually came to an end, Lin Guodong's eyes were slightly red. He used to be a soldier and could better feel the meaning expressed in these lyrics.
Often, those who quietly work behind the scenes, the most ordinary people, are the greatest and should be admired by young people today.
But how many of the star chasers would chase after them?
Not only the people inside, but everyone outside was deeply touched. At this moment, they, like Louis, entered that state.
So, a good song really could infect everyone!
