Chapter 69

Therefore, the song choice for this episode became particularly important, and the whole team had discussed it for a long time without a result!

“It’s a pity! We made a mistake; we should have sung ‘Big Fish’ in the second round, that would have been the best choice. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be in such a dilemma now.”

The manager sighed while holding the song list, feeling very regretful!

In the previous episode, Zhou Shen relied on his signature song “Big Fish” to win second place, setting the record for the highest ranking for a challenger in their first round.

Zhou Shen had started with a bang, the effect was very obvious, drawing cheers from the whole audience!

But it also left him facing difficulties in choosing a song for the second round.

It wasn’t easy to find a song that suited him and wasn’t inferior to “Big Fish.”

“Shenshen, you still haven’t been able to contact Teacher Teacher Xiaomeng, why don’t you try looking for him again?”

Zhou Shen shook his head upon hearing this.

“Actually, I don’t know Teacher Teacher Xiaomeng. Back then, when I received the news that Teacher Teacher Xiaomeng had specified that I sing ‘Big Fish,’ I was almost scared silly. That’s a great master!”

“Later, you know, it was thanks to Teacher Teacher Xiaomeng’s ‘Big Fish’ that I truly made a name for myself in the entertainment industry and had this studio today. Afterward, I even used connections to inquire about Teacher Teacher Xiaomeng, wanting to visit and thank him in person, but I ended up with nothing!”

The manager also looked full of regret and couldn’t help but sigh.

“Tsk tsk tsk, Great Master Teacher Xiaomeng is truly mysterious. He left such brilliant achievements in the music scene, only to suddenly evaporate into thin air a few years ago. It remains an unsolved mystery to this day; it’s truly a loss for the music scene!”

“Ding-dong!”

Just as the two were sighing, Zhou Shen’s WeChat received a message.

Picking up his phone, he saw it was a message from Bai Lu, and a smile inadvertently appeared on Zhou Shen’s face.

“It’s Bai Lu, let me reply to her first.”

The manager nodded, signaling it was fine.

She knew the two had a very good personal relationship and were very close friends.

Bai Lu and Zhou Shen, one in the film and television industry, the other in the music industry.

Despite having little overlap, they met on “Keep Running” and became good friends in private.

“What’s wrong? What did Bai Lu say?” The manager noticed Zhou Shen’s expression was a bit strange.

Zhou Shen’s expression was a bit odd as he said, “She said she wants to introduce a songwriter to me, and I can consider using his song for this competition.”

This caught the manager’s attention.

“She’s in the film and television industry, does she even know any good songwriters?”

Zhou Shen smiled bitterly. “You know this person too, it’s Zhang Yang!”

“What?!”

“That Zhang Yang who we still owe two measures of talent to!”

The manager’s voice went up an octave, reaching a new peak.

Zhou Shen nodded. “That’s right, it’s him. His song ‘Superfluous Explanation’ was actually quite good; he should have some creative talent.”

“No way, Zhou Shen, you know how important this competition is. This is a critical moment for our newly established studio, and who knows how many people are watching us.”

Without the slightest hesitation, the manager reminded Zhou Shen not to put his career on the gambling table because of personal feelings; they couldn’t afford to lose this round.

Although Zhou Shen had established a firm footing in the music scene since “Big Fish,” it was also “Big Fish” that kept him trapped in the title of “Siren Singer.”

As the saying goes, success comes from “Big Fish,” and failure comes from “Big Fish”!

For the past two years, Zhou Shen had been seeking a breakthrough.

Unfortunately, the market feedback wasn’t great; people still only remembered Zhou Shen’s “Big Fish.”

This stage of “Singer” was Zhou Shen’s opportunity for a breakthrough, which was why he had insisted on singing “Big Fish” in the first round.

Suddenly, the manager said in horror, “Shenshen, you didn’t agree to her, did you!”

Zhou Shen shook his head.

“No, Lulu just said to listen to it when the time comes; if it can be used, we’ll use it, if not, forget it!”

He agreed to Bai Lu simply because of the friendship between them.

The manager breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good, let’s focus on selecting the performance song; the performance is the day after tomorrow.”

At this very moment,

Neither Zhou Shen nor his manager held any hope for Zhang Yang!

Seeing Zhou Shen agree to her, Bai Lu couldn’t help but secretly feel happy.

This was the method she had thought of!

To let Zhang Yang showcase his talent on stage and leave others with nothing to say!

But now she was facing another problem.

Given Zhang Yang’s personality, he definitely wouldn’t be interested in this kind of thing.

She had to find a way to make Zhang Yang say it himself and be willing to write the song!

Just as Bai Lu was feeling distressed.

“Aren’t you going to take a nap? What are you distressed about? Your face is almost like a bitter melon!”

Zhang Yang had just returned from the restroom and saw the annoyed Bai Lu.

Bai Lu had a flash of inspiration and immediately seized the opportunity.

“Sigh, I have a very close friend who has a very important performance the day after tomorrow, but he hasn’t had a suitable song, and time is too tight, so he can’t find anyone.”

After speaking, Bai Lu pretended to sigh heavily!

She used all her professional acting skills; she was just short of shedding tears.

Zhang Yang looked at Bai Lu as if she were an idiot. “Did you forget what I do for a living?”

Bai Lu: “Ah, I remember, aren’t you a freelancer?”

“Uh! I think I said that, but that’s not the point. The point is, if you want a song, come to me! China Mobile Music Library.”

Zhang Yang smiled and pointed to his head, his smile bright!

Bai Lu didn’t reveal her cards directly but continued to act.

“You? Can you do it? This friend of mine isn’t a newcomer, his requirements are high!”

At this moment, in Zhang Yang’s eyes, Bai Lu’s expression was like that evil meme from his past life.

“Weakling, can you do it?”

Zhang Yang couldn’t bear this, and immediately slapped the table.

“Tell me who it is, and where they are singing? I want to show you whether your man can do it or not!”

Bai Lu tried her best to hide the ecstasy in her heart and said with a bit of disdain.

“Singer Zhou Shen, he is participating in the second round of the challenge on ‘Singer’ the day after tomorrow.”

“Ah?!!”

Now it was Zhang Yang’s turn to be stunned!

Is it such a coincidence?

A few years ago, he had copied “Big Fish” for him, he didn’t expect to run into him again!

Bai Lu also noticed Zhang Yang’s strangeness and felt a bit worried.

Could it be that this guy was also scared and didn’t dare to write the song?

“What’s wrong? Do you think it’s a bit difficult and you can’t write it?”

“Hehe, young lady! You know nothing about the terror of twelve measures of talent!”

“Bring me pen and paper!”

While Bai Lu was asking the flight attendant for paper and pen, Zhang Yang already had an idea in his mind.

Zhang Yang had also heard a little about the dilemma Zhou Shen was facing.

His song “Big Fish” back then had indeed made Zhou Shen popular, but it had also trapped him in the sea; this time, it could be considered letting him leap over the dragon gate.

“Singer” was now in its seventh season and remained evergreen!

According to past habits, this was a stage for showing off skills and hitting high notes; to get a good ranking, one had to start from these two aspects.

Zhou Shen’s voice was naturally gifted; he was a born “song fairy”!

But in recent years, they seemed to have gone in the wrong direction and hadn’t stimulated the energy of Zhou Shen’s voice at all.

Immediately, Zhang Yang had a choice in his mind.

A divine song, “Dala Dala Bengba,” could perfectly showcase Zhou Shen’s ever-changing voice and also impress everyone!

Another one was “Riding a White Horse,” which was undoubtedly a song that could make Zhou Shen a legend!

Soon, the flight attendant brought a pen and a notebook.

“Snap!”
