Chapter 299: Love the world you love, wish to live into your wish, not in vain of this prosperous world every day!

After Zhong Zhong Wentai solved the online schedule for *Dream Builder*, he immediately arranged the play performance on the roadshow in a tight and orderly manner.

First of all, the most needed to be finalized is the script.

Only when the script content is determined can the venue be selected, and lighting and scenes and other scenery be arranged according to the content.

Thinking of this, Zhong Zhong Wentai couldn't help but say to his wife:

"They gave me a difficult problem! I have only written movie scripts and have never written a play; I have to hurry up and study."

His wife looked at him speechlessly, "Why do I feel you are enjoying it?"

If he really felt troublesome, he wouldn't be smiling these few days, looking like he was in a good mood.

Zhong Zhong Wentai smiled and said: "I am also thinking about learning until I am old, feeling curious about fields I have never touched."

Although he said he hadn't touched it, as a top screenwriter, one is the same as all.

Whether writing TV series or movies, or play scripts, it is ultimately a script, just conveyed through different forms of expression.

Zhong Zhong Wentai only pondered for a day, watched several lectures by playwriting masters on the internet, as well as several play creation textbooks, plus he found some mature play scripts through personal channels for comparison.

Soon he understood what a play script was about.

While he was pondering the form of expression of the play, pictures were gradually constructed in his mind.

Jin Li was very right about one point, and that was that the content of the play compiled should try not to overlap with the content in the movie.

If the content of the movie let the audience understand it through the play, it would greatly weaken the expectation of watching the movie.

Zhong Zhong Wentai didn't want to put the cart before the horse.

So he pondered for a long time and decided to set the content of the play into three acts, which were three major contents to show.

In the quiet study, Zhong Zhong Wentai held a pen and wrote furiously.

His wife was also his assistant, and suddenly received a call.

The promotion department specifically called to ask if the schedule for *Dream Builder* was solved.

If the cinema still didn't loosen its mouth, they would also go over to talk about it.

His wife looked at Old Zhong who was concentrating on writing the script, and said with a smile: "It has been solved, thank you for your concern!"

At the same time, over at Chenxi Entertainment.

After Xi Sister Meng Ze adjusted her state to the best, she finally decided to officially record the song *As You Wish*.

Because this song was specifically used as a movie promotional song for *Dream Builder*, the momentum must be magnificent and atmospheric, which required a large symphony orchestra to come over to accompany Sister Meng Meng.

With Chenxi Entertainment's small acre and three cents of land, and amateur-level recording studio, it was absolutely impossible to record it.

Xi Sister Meng Ze sang the sample at the beginning, and the acoustic processing was relatively simple, so she used Chenxi Entertainment's recording studio to record it.

But coming to the official recording, she still inserted the line through Ji Ji Qinglian's relationship and got the professional-level recording studio of Tianding Entertainment.

On the day of recording, Jin Li also followed along.

Don't ask, asking is to listen in advance to find the feeling.

After all, when it was her turn to record, it would definitely be entering Tianding's professional-level recording studio.

Jin Li was not coming to Tianding Entertainment's recording studio for the first time. However, the practice recording studio that Gu Cheng used his privilege to open for her before was semi-professional level.

So strictly speaking, this was her first time coming to Tianding's professional-level recording studio.

In the past, Pink Girl was popular, and every single recorded was popular in the streets and alleys; they also entered the professional-level recording studio to record.

But that was already a few years ago.

A few years passed, Jin Li came to the professional-level recording studio again, looking at the facilities inside, feeling a sense of familiarity and strangeness.

"How is it? Do you feel that many things have been updated, and even the style has changed?"

Xi Sister Meng Ze introduced the high-end audio equipment needed for recording, professional audio interface, large mixing console... to Jin Li, sighing quite a bit.

Jin Li nodded, took a long breath: "Feeling the pressure is a bit big."

After becoming popular again, she also sang, but either it was live singing, or variety show singing, basically not using such a professional recording studio.

And this was a large recording studio of at least 500 square meters.

This kind of recording studio could accommodate large bands, choirs to record together, and had multiple independent areas and control rooms; the equipment system and post-production were very powerful.

This was specifically used to produce large music projects, commercial advertisement soundtracks, and movie original soundtracks.

As an exclusive movie promotional song, although it was a ready-made song, it also had to be adapted to cooperate with the movie.

"Why are you so cautious? Why don't we sing a group song first to open our voices?"

Suddenly a crisp voice came, and Ji Ji Qinglian walked in from outside the door.

She finished running the announcement in the morning and originally planned to rest in the afternoon, because she had to continue running the announcement at night.

But hearing that Sister Meng Meng and Carp were both here, she still forcibly climbed up to find them.

She hadn't heard Sister Meng Meng sing for a long time and wanted to hear what level Sister Meng Meng was at now.

The news circulating on the internet was too fake; variety shows had a large possibility of sound repair, so it was better to listen with her own ears.

Just right, she had a music variety show in her hand, and the third episode had to find professional singers in the industry to be helping singers, and she intended to find Xi Sister Meng Ze.

Xi Sister Meng Ze shrugged, looking relaxed: "I am okay, just Carp is a bit unaccustomed."

Jin Li whispered to the captain: "To prevent needing me to sing when promoting the movie later, so the director also wants me to record a version of my own promotional song." 【2

Ji Ji Qinglian raised an eyebrow: "You want to sing 'As Wished' too?"

Jin Li nodded.

Ji Ji Qinglian understood and patted her on the shoulder: "The pressure is quite high; it's not easy for you."

Soon, the tuner was also in position.

Xi Sister Meng Ze didn't delay, going straight for the first version of the test recording.

The song "As Wished" was originally a promotional song for a film; that film was very similar in nature to "Dream Builder," also being a state-supported project that sang the praises of the motherland and served as a tribute to it.

Because of the similar nature, this was also the reason why Director Zhong ultimately chose this song.

But Xi Sister Meng Ze's voice was very different from the original singer's.

The original singer's voice leaned towards being cold and elegant, possessing a sense of detachment as if looking down at the mortal world from a heavenly palace.

This kind of voice is very special; it is either unpleasant to hear, or so good that it strikes straight at the heart.

Just by hearing the first line, one could leave a deep impression in the bottom of every listener's heart.

Consistent with the original version's treatment, Xi Sister Meng Ze's opening performance also purely introduced piano and strings to start the song, without adding other accompaniment that would disturb the song's purity.

"You are the distant road

The lamp in the mountain mist

I am a child, walking in your eyes"

"Wow!" Just as Meng Meng sang the first line, Jin Li and Ji Ji Qinglian felt goosebumps rise on their arms.

It was so crisp and refreshing it made one tingle!

The texture of the lyrics just as she started singing was simply superb!

"You are the bright moon and clear breeze

I am the dream you watch over

Whether we meet or not, it is a lifetime, embracing you"

Different from the coldness of the original version, because Meng Meng's voice was mellow, it leaned more towards the mid-range.

Therefore, her singing style, which intentionally lowered her voice but raised the pitch, had a sense of sorrowful, choked-up brokenness.

This tone, which seemed like crying yet wasn't, was very special; as the voice gradually became higher and more progressive towards the end, there would be a sense of sudden enlightenment and a feeling of striving upwards after seeing through and seeing past things.

But because this song was not a love song, the feeling of interpreting it was—

When the mountains and rivers were broken and at a critical moment of danger, a group of people stood out and supported this blue sky for us.

It is precisely because of their struggle and sacrifice that there is the magnificent landscape of today, radiating new life once again.

Sorrow has its tragic grandeur, but new life also has its high-spiritedness!

"And I will love the world you love

Wishing for the smile you wish for

Your hand, I am stumbling as I hold

Please take me to tomorrow

If you have suffered my sweetness

I wish to live as your wish

Wishing not to be in vain, wishing to move forward bravely

Every day of this prosperous age!"

Xi Sister Meng Ze recorded it three times in total, and with Jin Li's semi-professional ears, she could hear subtle differences in every interpretation.

But this couldn't be said to be getting better with each take; it could only be said that each had its own flavor.

When she sang it for the third time, Jin Li quietly took out her phone and recorded the scene of Meng Meng closing her eyes and singing with intoxication.

She only recorded a small segment, then sent it to the group chat of Pink Girls and March Sky, telling them not to spread it.

Ji Ji Qinglian took out her phone and immediately sent a dozen clapping emojis.

Lotus: 【What is called professional? Look, this is what's called professional! None of us can compare to Meng Meng's singing foundation.】

NANA: 【I'm in the car, I just clicked it open, and my manager asked me whose version this is; it's quite good. She thought I was listening to a single!!】

Pearl: 【...】

Pearl: 【I'm suddenly full of pessimism about my life as a singer-dancer after transitioning. If every singer has Meng Meng's strength, then what the hell am I transitioning for? I might as well retire and go home T﹏T】

Lotus: 【Have to say, the light of girl groups ah ah ah!】

Lotus: 【Who said girl groups only have faces to look at? Look, isn't this singing also very capable?

Although our group has already disbanded, at least we dug out such an excellent singer for the entertainment industry!】

Jin Li: 【I actually still have to sing another version of this song. I don't know if it's too late to tell the director I won't sing it (sad)】

Without comparison, there is no harm; with such a gem before her, Jin Li wanted to sing it even less.

Heaven spirits, earth spirits, I must take out the gods and worship them this time, otherwise I won't be able to hold it!!

In the March Sky group chat, their shock was no less than the Pink Girls, and their praise was even more exaggerated.

【Sounds of nature!】

【This sound is only found in heaven; how often can one hear it in the human world!】

【Sister Sister Meng Ze, can you develop a bit slower? Can you give us idol singers a way to survive?】

【If this version of the promotional song spreads, netizens will definitely call for us to follow her lead (danger); I feel like I'm about to be unemployed.】

Yan Yan Xingdong listened to the video Jin Li sent over and over again, and couldn't help but sigh to his teammates:

"This kind of singing strength is really no joke. I feel that in the industry, her singing voice already belongs to the ceiling level and cannot be replaced easily."

Chen Lin echoed: "'I Am a Singer' being able to dig out Xi Sister Meng Ze is also not easy. If it weren't for this show, many people wouldn't be able to see her talent."

Gu Cheng didn't know what he thought of, and asked: "She doesn't seem to participate in music festivals much?"

Yan Yan Xingdong nodded: "Right, she prefers traveling and vacationing; she doesn't have many announcements arranged, and she just slacks off and rests in her spare time."

Gu Cheng didn't ask him why he knew so clearly, remembering that the captain asked them a few days ago if there were any travel music variety shows, and Xi Sister Meng Ze asked him for an introduction.

Gu Cheng then said: "Why not let her run more music festivals? Music festivals are still very popular during the summer break.

Many of the announcements she participates in are variety shows, lacking the opportunity to face the audience. Such a beautiful voice should be known by more people."

Yan Yan Xingdong was a bit hesitant: "But music festival schedules are too tight, and scheduling is a problem. There are many travel cities with small qualifications that also host music festivals, and the planning is very poor."

March Sky can also be considered regulars who are often invited to participate in music festivals.

So they are very clear about what the current music festival hosting process is like.

In the past, music festival tickets were expensive, but the management was strict, and they were all held in big cities, and the invited singers were all considered capable.

But now the qualifications for hosting music festivals are open, and many small tourist cities, or even small cities that don't even touch upon "tourism," can also host music festivals.

The local area uses the gimmick of "meeting through music" to invite celebrities to come and sing, incidentally boosting the local economy.

This has led to many music festivals being of uneven quality; once the scheduling goes wrong, it also affects the celebrity's reputation.

Chen Lin suddenly thought of something and said: "Why don't we just take her along? We don't look down on small music festivals; let her join us in taking on large music festivals."

As the conversation reached this point, Chen Lin laughed again: "I don't think we need to think so much. Chenxi Entertainment isn't short of money, and her manager is so shrewd.

If she really intends to take on music festivals, she will definitely arrange it very well. If she has no experience, wouldn't it be a matter of a few words if Sister Fang makes a phone call to Brother Guang?"

Because Ji Ji Qinglian signed with Tianding Entertainment, Chenxi and Tianding already have a trend of joining forces, which can be considered to be in an ambiguous phase.

For second- and third-tier artists under them, the two companies often exchange resources.

Overall, it is still Tianding leading Chenxi.

But there's no help for it; Chenxi Entertainment holds two major female top-tier stars, Jin Li and Xi Sister Meng Ze, which is exactly what Tianding lacks.

To describe it more accurately, Chenxi is strong in yin and weak in yang, while Tianding is strong in yang and weak in yin; the two companies complement each other perfectly.

Being a top-tier star isn't easy either.

Without the dividend period of sudden popularity, everything is now shifting from incremental to stock warfare; how to maintain the fans on hand without losing them is a subject every idol company must study.

This requires mutual help and support.

However, when it comes to top-tier stars with positive energy like them, they have started to shift to another, more difficult path.

Shifting from fan economy to passerby-base economy, from niche revelry to positive-energy stars gradually accepted by the public.

This is a path leading to the top.

Whether it is the former members of Pink Girls or March Sky, they are all walking this path.

After Xi Sister Meng Ze finished recording, Jin Li finally gathered the courage to go to the recording studio and record once.

Her level certainly cannot be compared with Xi Sister Meng Ze's, but as a singer-dancer, Jin Li's singing ability can be considered relatively good.

But the difficulty lies in the fact that this song leans towards a pure version, which is purely singing, with very little stage effect.

The recording studio version can still be edited, but the live version will expose many shortcomings.

While listening to Jin Li sing, Xi Sister Meng Ze and Ji Ji Qinglian communicated and thought of a method that could allow Jin Li to play to her strengths and avoid her weaknesses.

Jin Li walked out of the recording studio, and the two said in unison:

"How about you change the live version of 'As Wished' to a singing and dancing version?"

Jin Li refused without thinking, sternly: "No, wouldn't that be a demonic adaptation?!"
