She could only keep her gratitude in her heart and do her best to complete the song “Searching for Flowers in the Fog” so that she would not let Li Ya down.
The music producer of the song “Searching for Flowers in the Fog” was the top film and television music composer in Country Z, Shima Yu. He had a good reputation in the industry as the “Godfather of Music.”
Shima Yu was very famous, but he didn’t put on any airs. His attitude towards Li Ya and Lu Zhen was very kind.
After the two sides met, they did not exchange much pleasantries. Shima Yu asked Lu Zhen to go to the recording studio to sing first.
As an actress, this was the first time Lu Zhen had entered a place like a recording studio. She could not help but feel a little nervous. Although she had already made a lot of preparations in advance, she still felt her heart beat faster.
In order to maintain her throat in its best state, Lu Zhen had been drinking all kinds of medicine to nourish her throat for more than a week and tried not to say too much.
It could be said that Lu Zhen had already made all the preparations she could. In the recording studio, Lu Zhen took a deep breath and began to hum. She had practiced this song countless times. Although she was nervous, fortunately, she had already formed muscle memory and did not go off-key.
After Lu Zhen finished singing, Shima Yu came over and told her some things to pay attention to.
“Not bad, but you’re a little too nervous. Your voice isn’t as relaxed. And for this part, don’t use too much skill. Keep it simple.”
The recording process was very slow. Shima Yu and Gao Fan seemed to be the representatives of perfectionists. They had to do their best. Sometimes, even Li Ya felt that Lu Zhen sang very well, but Shima Yu still said, “It can be better.”
Facing Shima Yu’s strict requirements, Lu Zhen had no complaints. She improved over and over again.
A week had passed. Lu Zhen had learned a lot in the recording studio. She did not feel that Shima Yu was asking too much of her at all. Instead, she was glad that Shima Yu had not only helped her improve her singing skills, but also deepened her understanding of music.
These deep-level things could not be learned just because one wanted to. Many people, even if they had money, could not invite a master like Shima Yu to teach them.
Li Ya had also gained a lot from listening in. She even joked with Lu Zhen, “What I’ve learned from Shima Yu these past few days might not be learned even if I spend millions outside.”
After 13 days of polishing, the recording of the original soundtrack of “Searching for Flowers in the Fog” was finally completed.
After completing an important mission, Lu Zhen heaved a sigh of relief and felt the pressure on her shoulders lessen. However, she did not have much time to rest. Before she went to R Nation, she had to settle the matters in the country in advance.
Lu Zhen returned to the Jiang family to visit her grandfather. At the same time, the person she had commissioned the investigation sent her the results. After reading the results of the investigation, Lu Zhen fell into a short period of confusion.
The results of the investigation showed that Lin Feng and Song Jia only met each other after Lin Feng returned to the country. This was very strange. This meant that Deng Yue couldn’t have known Song Jia since a long time ago, nor did she know Song Jia through Lin Feng.
Could it be that Song Jia and Deng Yue knew each other long ago? But there was no one called Song Jia among Deng Yue’s childhood friends.
Lu Zhen thought for a long time and could not figure out what was wrong. Was there something wrong with the results of her investigation? Or was there something she hadn’t figured out?
While Lu Zhen was still in a daze, she suddenly realized that there was an unread email in her email. It was from the person who had entrusted the investigation previously. At that time, Lu Zhen had entrusted that person to help investigate Deng Yue.
Lu Zhen opened her email. The other party told her that Deng Yue had been undergoing vocal and dance training recently and had signed up to participate in “National Idol.”
“National Idol”? Lu Zhen opened her cell phone and searched for this word.
“National Idol” was a large-scale talent show that was about to be launched on the kiwi website. With the gimmick of “creating the number one female group in China” and “National Star Creation Campaign”, it had already begun the national audition registration last month. Soon, the entire Internet would live-stream the first event location stage selection.
Lu Zhen frowned. What was Deng Yue thinking? Why did she suddenly want to participate in a talent show? Lu Zhen vaguely felt that Deng Yue’s choice might have something to do with her, but she could not be sure.
Soon, Lu Zhen returned to Beijing. Previously, Ye Xuan had helped her reject many business activities, but there were some that she really could not reject. An international brand endorsed by Lu Zhen had an important news conference in the capital. As the ambassador, Lu Zhen naturally had to be present.
