"The pronunciation of this sentence is not right. The English in the song shouldn't be so wordy. It should have rhythm, just like Chinese in music, which doesn't only have four parts."
At Song Bin's house, Zhou Rui was teaching the little mushroom-headed boy word by word. No, he was teaching him hand by hand, almost sentence by sentence.
And Song Bin was busy debugging the equipment.
The busiest person was Zhou Rui. After teaching Li Wenqian, he also had to familiarize himself with the composition software. Although Song Bin was good at computers, he had no vocal knowledge and still needed Zhou Rui to direct him piece by piece.
They started working in the morning, and at noon, someone delivered three servings of takeout. It seemed like someone had been sent by Song Bin's parents, and they were all from big restaurants.
It was delicious, with big fish and meat, but looking at Song Bin's body shape, Zhou Rui couldn't help but sigh: If you eat like this every day, who else will get fat if not you?
Even his height may have been affected by his long-term high-salt and high-oil diet.
Song Bin's parents may be good at doing business, but they were definitely not good at raising children.
After dinner, the three of them continued to work hard in the afternoon. Li Wenqian was well-versed and no longer needed Zhou Rui's guidance. She just needed to practice slowly. Zhou Rui focused most of his energy on composing the music.
The progress was not fast, but fortunately, the arrangement of this song was not complicated, focusing on emotion and melody.
By evening, everything was finally ready.
Li Wenqian wore a pair of large black monitoring headphones that covered her entire mushroom head and walked nervously to the microphone.
Since Song Bin had forgotten to buy a stand, and Li Wenqian needed to stand to have good breathing when singing, Zhou Rui turned into a human-shaped stand. He held the microphone with his steady big hands, facing the side with the pop filter toward Li Wenqian's little face.
The two were standing very close to each other, face to face, and Zhou Rui could even see Li Wenqian's long eyelashes clearly.
Li Wenqian's face started to turn red for some reason. Zhou Rui cleared his throat and said, "Pay attention to your emotions. Emotions are the key to this song. Don't be afraid if you fail. It's just a demo. You can try again as many times as you want."
Li Wenqian nodded.
Zhou Rui also put on his own monitoring headphones and made a gesture to Song Bin, who was sitting in front of the computer.
3, 2, 1, start.
The melodious prelude sounded, and the gentle strumming of the strings seemed to place people under the quiet night sky, looking up at the vast starry sky.
Suddenly, a strong main melody appeared in the quiet night sky, as if focusing people's attention on one point—that was the accent of the piano.
Li Wenqian closed her eyes and opened her mouth slightly.
"I want to become a star and
protect the buzzing of the seabed."
The start was very steady, the sound was extremely catchy, and the gentle female voice revealed the power of life.
Li Wenqian suddenly remembered that Zhou Rui said to mobilize emotions.
Subconsciously, she opened her eyes and looked at what was so close.
Zhou Rui, with a serious look.
"It's my dream, it's magic~ lights up your heart"
To your eyes~ How far is the distance?
Zhou Rui felt that there was something very unique in Li Wenqian's eyes.
But as a humanoid support, he could only remain motionless.
The corners of Li Wenqian's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sweet smile, and her eyes became a charming crescent.
"Will our love
be blown to the sea by the wind and never come back~"
Li Wenqian's talent is truly terrifying. Her voice processing is not much worse than Zhou Rui's [Absolute Musical Sense], and her tone is extremely beautiful.
And this future "last queen of singing" just stared at Zhou Rui's face, crushing all her emotions into her singing, which became more and more fluent.
Her eyes never left Zhou Rui, as if Zhou Rui was the only shining star in the entire starry sky.
When the song ended, Zhou Rui and Li Wenqian stared at each other, as if still immersed in the song.
Until they were interrupted by the cheers of the fat boy Song Bin: "Fuck! It worked! This song is great! And it passed in one take!"
Zhou Rui and Li Wenqian both looked away. Zhou Rui stretched his sore arm and said, "Let me check again."
Ten minutes later, Zhou Rui confirmed the first song of his life, his first recording, and it went through so miraculously in just one take that he couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
But looking at the ups and downs of the buttons on the software, and the broken line representing the audio, he felt that the song was missing something.
With only the audio, it always felt like something was missing.
"What's wrong, Zhou Rui? Did I not sing well?" Li Wenqian said nervously.
Zhou Rui thought about it, shook his head slowly, and said, "I plan to submit this song first. If the purpose is to submit it, I think it lacks a little appeal and persuasiveness."
Song Bin asked curiously, "How do you say that?"
Zhou Rui said: "It's just missing an MV."
Song Bin was at a loss now: "It's definitely not possible today. How about next week? I can buy a DV, but can we shoot an MV?"
Zhou Rui shook his head and said, "It's not about shooting one, but editing one. Even if it's a little rough, this MV is destined to be rough! The rougher, the better."
"Edit one? What material to use? The behind-the-scenes footage of us recording the song?"
"Use the lost stars."
Song Bin couldn't figure it out.
Huh?
Because it's called "Sea of Stars," does that mean the MV is going to be about space science?
________________________After finishing everything, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Zhou Rui sent and submitted all the songs, MVs, etc., and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he stood up, looked at Li Wenqian and Song Bin beside him, and said with a smile: "Everyone! Done!"
Both of them jumped up excitedly, and Li Wenqian even hugged Zhou Rui's arm.
Song Bin was embarrassed and held the bookcase beside him, shaking it wildly like a fat monkey.
For young people, completing a task that was thought to be impossible is worth getting excited and cheering for, no matter what the future results will be.
After a busy day, it finally came to a successful conclusion!
Zhou Rui also breathed a sigh of relief. This day was no easier than class.
It also resulted in the three of them owing a lot of homework, so they would have to copy it tomorrow.
He and Li Wenqian told each other and their mothers that they were going to each other's homes to review, hoping that nothing would be revealed.
Thinking about homework, Zhou Rui suddenly remembered that when he was busy before, there seemed to be a message popping up in the system, but he didn't have time to read it.
So Zhou Rui opened the system panel.
"Task entry: Concentration, Experience value +1, Current progress (88/100)"
"Quest entry: Self-disciplined, Experience value +1, Current progress (53/100)"
"Quest entry: Inspiration, Experience Points +3, Current Progress (28/100)"
It's not over yet!
A series of experience messages occupied most of his sight.
Wow, so many!
He scrolled to the end and found that he had gained nearly 7 experience points from his most difficult task, the [Inspiration] task, and his total progress reached (33/100).
[Self-disciplined] Experience progress is normal, but he also got more than ten points, and the total progress reached (70/100).
The [Concentration] task was flashing with golden light at this moment.
"Mission entry: Concentration, Experience Points +1, Current Progress (100/100), please claim the entry."
Zhou Rui swallowed his saliva and excitedly chose with his mind: "Receive it!"
He saw a strong light flashing on the taskbar, and a series of words decomposed and combined, finally becoming something completely new.
"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the white entry [Focused].
Entry effect: Gain the new attribute 'Focus.' Actively using 'Focus' can enter 'Focus Time,' which greatly improves thinking speed and efficiency, improves body control, improves crisis response ability, and increases the possibility of inspiration."
So powerful!
The [Focus] entry, which evolved from "Concentration," is not just limited to learning; it can be said to strengthen all aspects!
"[Focus] is an upgradeable entry. It does not need to occupy the task bar. It can be upgraded by consuming 'Concentration.' The higher the level, the more 'Concentration' capacity. The current capacity is (3/3). Each unit of concentration can be strengthened for one hour. If you have a good rest, you can restore all your concentration the next day. If you don't rest enough, it will be reduced according to the situation."
After reading the entire introduction, Zhou Rui knew that he had made the right bet this time.
This is exactly the [entry] he urgently needs!
"The host has obtained an autonomous task entry for the first time. Now a reward is issued. The reward is: reveal a synthesis path related to the host."
"Path revealed: [Focused] + [Perseverance] + [Luck] = [Chosen One]"
Zhou Rui's eyes lit up.
Although he didn't know the specific effect, it sounded awesome!
Chosen One!
Zhou Rui thought about it and added the [Perseverance] entry to the empty task.
I am definitely the Chosen One!
