Chapter 65: Preparation

There is a show to record on Wednesday.

The show is called "Small Song Gathering," and as the name implies, it is a variety show focused on singing. However, it has been lukewarm. The reason it has been able to keep going until now is mainly due to its low production costs. It has always been a profitable show, and since it is a web variety, there is no such thing as competing for time slots.

Zhou Ping'an booked this show for Lu Yan He precisely because he knew Lu Yan He's singing was mediocre; he wouldn't stand out by participating in such a show.

But Lu Yan He was actually quite willing to record this show.

Because it isn't popular.

Lu Yan He isn't giving up on himself; he is truly quite willing. After all, before he transmigrated, he was just an ordinary student with no experience as an artist, let alone facing a camera.

He also doesn't know what he will be like in front of the camera.

If he messes up, at least few people will know.

Lu Yan He is going to this show because it offered him a service fee of 30,000 yuan. Although the company takes 80%, he can only get 6,000, and that's before tax, but for him right now, every little bit helps.

No money in his pocket, no confidence in his heart.

Before participating in this show, Lu Yan He had been thinking about one question.

That is, how to prepare for this recording.

He is going there to sing.

The format of the show is for each guest to sing a song and then sit together to chat, a way of combining a music variety show with a slow-paced variety show.

What song should he sing?

Lu Yan He is actually thinking about a question: since he has this opportunity, should he use his "transmigrator big shot" golden finger?

For example, sing "Ten Years" or "Backpack."

No, no, these two songs are too inappropriate for his age.

Moreover, the most critical problem is that he doesn't know how to arrange music... He only knows how to sing; is he just going to sing a cappella?

What about musical instrument accompaniment?

Today is already Monday, and the recording is the day after tomorrow. He is an emergency guest. If he submits a new song, the live band won't be familiar with it and will need rehearsal; it seems completely unfeasible.

Early Tuesday morning, Lu Yan He learned from Zhou Ping'an that Zhou Ping'an had already communicated with the production team, and Lu Yan He would sing "Dream-Chasing Youth," the theme song of the talent show he participated in back then, on the show.

"There was no time to practice a new song anyway, and the live band needs to rehearse. Time is tight, so just sing 'Dream-Chasing Youth'." Zhou Ping'an's tone on the phone was unquestionable.

Zhou Ping'an also didn't think Lu Yan He would have any other opinions at all.

Subsequently, he pushed over a person, who was the director arranged by the production team for Lu Yan He.

"If you have anything, just tell this person."

The director's surname is Wang, named Wang Lu.

Wang Lu: Hello Yan He, my name is Wang Lu, I am your director, your rehearsal time is 9:40 tonight.

Lu Yan He was stunned and asked: Rehearsal?

Wang Lu: Yes.

Lu Yan He only then realized that he had only been thinking about recording the show tomorrow, but hadn't realized at all that there was a rehearsal before the official recording.

Lu Yan He asked: Where is the rehearsal location?

Wang Lu sent a location pin.

Lu Yan He breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it's not far from the school, about 12 kilometers, a thirty-minute drive.

Just take a taxi there.

"Lu Yan He, what are you spacing out for?" Li Pengfei suddenly threw a paper ball at him, interrupting Lu Yan He's thoughts.

Lu Yan He looked back at him, shook his head, and said: "Thinking about things."

"Yo, it's rare to see you distracted." Li Pengfei said, "I wanted to ask you, do you want to come to my house tonight? My dad said he wants to invite you to dinner."

Lu Yan He said in surprise: "Thank you for your uncle's kindness, but it's a bit of a coincidence, I have a rehearsal for a show recording tonight."

"Show recording?" Li Pengfei was a bit surprised, "What show?"

"'Small Song Gathering'." Lu Yan He said.

"Ah? What show is this? How come I feel like I've never heard of it?" Li Pengfei said it directly, "However, why are you suddenly going to record a show again? Haven't you been quiet for more than half a month? I thought you didn't have any work in the entertainment industry anymore."

"It's because I made the news these past two days, so work came looking for me." Lu Yan He said, "Children from poor families take charge early; I'll take whatever pay I can earn."

"How much can you earn?" Li Pengfei's eyes lit up, "I heard that you artists get hundreds of thousands or millions in pay for recording a show, treat us!"

"Big brother, I only get a few thousand yuan in my hand, and you're asking me to treat you." Lu Yan He said, "I'm worried right now; I have to rehearse tonight, and I don't even know how to sing the song."

Although he has the memories of the original body, the current Lu Yan He is a genuine newcomer.

He doesn't understand singing techniques, and he isn't familiar with "Dream-Chasing Youth" either.

"Anyway, no one has any expectations for your singing, so it doesn't matter if you mess it up." Luo Zicheng suddenly popped up sinisterly and threw out such a sentence, but fearing that Lu Yan He and Li Pengfei would punch him again, he left after finishing.

Li Pengfei curled his lips in disdain.

"Coward."

Lu Yan He was still struggling with the matter of "Dream-Chasing Youth."

If it really doesn't work, then forget it.

This time there is no chance to show off his transmigrator golden finger; he can only sing this song.

Even for this song... Lu Yan He found the video of him singing this song with his teammates three years ago on the internet.

This song is actually not very difficult; the main focus is on youthful vitality and boiling passion.

However, with Lu Yan He's previous self-abased and timid appearance, it was indeed a bit out of place.

Even though Lu Yan He doesn't understand music, he knows that this song should be vigorous and youthful.

Lu Yan He wore headphones and listened to it carefully several times during the break.

At least he knows this song in his memory and can sing it; he just needs to become truly familiar with it.

It must be said that Lu Yan He's vocal condition is still okay.

The original body sang timidly, but he could hit the high notes and such.

At noon, Lu Yan He went to the lab to find an empty classroom and practiced the song several times.

Although he was singing himself, it felt like he was listening to someone else sing.

He doesn't know if it's an illusion, but he feels that he actually sings quite well now.

"You're hiding here practicing singing alone." Chen Siqi's voice suddenly came from the back door.

Lu Yan He was startled and looked back.

Chen Siqi stood with her arms crossed, leaning against the back door frame.

"Why are you here?" Lu Yan He asked.

"I should be asking you that. I was studying well in the next room, how come I heard someone singing, disturbing my study." Chen Siqi curled her lips, "I didn't expect it to be you."

Lu Yan He: "So what if it's me?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a bit surprised. Didn't you say you were going to take the college entrance exam and not pursue a career in the performing arts anymore?"

"I am going to take the college entrance exam, but I didn't say I wasn't walking the path of the entertainment industry anymore." Lu Yan He corrected, "It was that I had no path to walk before, but now there is a show looking for me to record an episode, and I have to sing a song, so I came to practice. It shouldn't be so bad that it caused noise pollution, right?" ===== CHAPTER 66 =====
