Chapter 50 Oh no! We've run into Bai Lu!
Lin Yu and the other two arrived at the recording studio prepared by the film crew.
Inside the recording studio, Guo Jingyu and Jiang Jiajun were waiting.
"Lin Yu, you've arrived! You must be tired from your journey!" Guo Jingyu greeted him.
"Teacher Guo, Director Jiang, you're too kind!" Lin Yu greeted them one by one.
"Our two leading ladies are also radiant today!" Jiang Jiajun said with a smile, looking at Meng Ziyi and Li Yitong.
The two blushed with embarrassment at what was said.
"These two are Luo Kun and Hu Hao, the main people in charge of the music for this TV series. They'll be the ones testing you in a bit!" Guo Jingyu said, pointing to the two people not far away.
Lin Yu also greeted the two of them.
The two were about the same age, looking to be in their early thirties.
Whether he passes this time depends entirely on these two teachers.
These two are quite famous in the music industry, and they have composed many theme songs for TV dramas.
"Little Lin, keep it up!" Li Yitong smiled gently.
"Don't be nervous, we won't laugh at you even if you mess up," Meng Ziyi said, but her eyes were full of anticipation.
Lin Yu rolled his eyes at her and walked into the recording studio.
The recording studio contained a microphone, a pair of headphones, and a sheet of lyrics.
Lin Yu put on his headphones and looked out at the control room through the glass window.
Luo Kun sat in front of the mixing console and spoke into the microphone.
"Lin Yu, why don't you try 'Who Did I Love' once? Let's get a feel for it."
Luo Kun and Hu Hao sat in front of the listening device.
They only considered Lin Yu's male voice audition as part of the selection process.
Actually, I still prefer the cool and refreshing quality of the original female voice by Shang Wenjie.
I didn't have high expectations for Lin Yu.
Lin Yu stood in the soundproof singing area and put on his monitoring headphones.
He lightly clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and slowly spoke into the microphone.
"Drink a cup of strong, clear water, accompanied by the south wind, and you turn to face north..."
A deep, magnetic male voice suddenly rang out, stunning the two people in the room with its first sentence.
Luo Kun's hand holding the mouse suddenly froze.
Hu Hao sat up straight instantly.
The two instinctively looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief, almost thinking they had misheard.
Shang Wenjie's audition previously carried a woman's delicate melancholy and loneliness.
Lin Yu's performance completely opened up a unique sense of chivalry and江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) in male voices.
His voice was mellow and deep, with a perfectly balanced husky tone at the end.
The singer incorporated all the dilemmas of love and hate, and the entanglements of family and country from the lyrics into his singing.
Amidst the desolation, a young man's solitary courage is hidden.
A sense of destiny washes over me.
He accurately captured the essence of a lifelong struggle and unyielding spirit, exuding a strong sense of chivalry and martial arts.
Lin Yu's breathing was steady and long, his emotions building layer by layer.
Without deliberately showing off his skills, he perfectly captured the restraint and resentment in every line.
Luo Kun and Hu Hao were completely immersed in the song.
The two of them leaned forward slightly, even their breathing became soft, and they were completely immersed in the dramatic atmosphere of the martial arts world.
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and as the last words, "Who have I loved, who have I loved," slowly faded away, the lingering resonance remained.
Outside the recording studio!
Quiet.
A deathly silence.
Lin Yu took off his headphones.
He looked out the window with some trepidation.
Why is there no reaction at all?
Did they sang badly?
He felt his singing was alright.
Just as he was about to ask a question, applause broke out outside the recording studio.
First were Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi.
The two of them clapped their hands so hard they turned red.
Then came Jiang Jiajun and Guo Jingyu.
Both of them stood up, clapping, their faces full of excitement.
Finally, Luo Kun and Hu Hao joined in the applause.
Luo Kun's eyes even turned a little red.
He's a musician, and he knows what it means to sing at this level.
This means that this young man not only has talent, but also has worked very hard.
All skills and control are not acquired out of thin air; they are the result of day after day of practice.
Lin Yu walked out of the recording studio, scratching his head somewhat embarrassedly.
"How was your singing?"
"Not bad? You call this not bad?" Luo Kun asked in surprise.
He walked up to Lin Yu and looked him up and down several times, as if he were meeting him for the first time.
"I've been in the music industry for so many years and have met many singers, but you're the first one who can leave me speechless."
Hu Hao also came over and patted Lin Yu on the shoulder.
"Aren't you an actor? Your singing skills are enough to make even professional singers jealous."
"I guess I just got lucky; this song suits my voice better," Lin Yu said with a modest smile.
"Can luck really produce this kind of control? Your breath control, pronunciation, and emotion are all top-notch. Especially your handling of the ending notes, clean and crisp, without a trace of hesitation. This is something that luck can't achieve," Luo Kun said, shaking his head.
"Little Lin, you sing so well, it gave me goosebumps," Li Yitong said gently as she leaned closer.
"It really sounds great, much better than my singing," Meng Ziyi chimed in, praising him.
"Old Hu, I think Lin Yu should be chosen for this song. What do you think?" Luo Kun asked Hu Hao.
"I have no objection. His voice is very suitable for this song, and the feeling he conveyed is exactly what we wanted."
"What about the next two songs? Should we try those too?" Luo Kun asked.
"Let's try!" Hu Hao said without hesitation.
So Lin Yu went back to the recording studio and auditioned singing "Jianghu Tianxia" and "Sword Soul".
These two songs have different styles.
"The World of Jianghu" is quite bold, with a carefree spirit of laughing at the world of martial arts.
"Sword Soul" is more sentimental, as if telling the story of a swordsman's loneliness.
Lin Yu sings each song with his own unique flavor.
He wasn't imitating the original singers; he was reinterpreting these songs in his own way.
His novel "The World of Jianghu" is less rugged and more elegant, like a white-clad swordsman wandering the world with his sword, unrestrained and free.
His "Sword Soul" is more restrained, with a story hidden in his voice, like a swordsman drinking alone under the moon, with no one to confide in.
Luo Kun and Hu Hao nodded repeatedly after listening.
The two of them, along with Jiang Jiajun and Hu Jingyu, whispered a few words in front of the mixing console.
Then Luo Kun stood up, walked up to Lin Yu, and extended his hand.
"Lin Yu, we've decided that you'll sing the theme song, ending theme, and insert songs for this TV series."
"Thank you, Teacher Luo, thank you, Teacher Hu. I will work hard." Lin Yu grasped his hand and smiled.
"What's there to strive for? You're already doing great, just keep it up," Hu Hao said with a smile.
Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi were so excited that they stomped their feet.
"Little Lin is amazing!" Li Yitong exclaimed gently.
"Hmph, I knew he could do it!" Meng Ziyi said defiantly, but couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
Lin Yu looked at the two of them and felt quite emotional.
Before his rebirth, he struggled to even land a leading role in a web series.
After being reborn, he not only played the third male lead, but also got the role of the second male lead, and now he even has to sing the theme song.
all of these!
It's all the result of his hard work.
After everything was decided, Lin Yu signed a contract with the production team.
The total contract amount is 120 million.
The production team paid Lin Yu a down payment of 500,000 yuan.
However, the tax still made Lin Yu feel a little pain.
It seems that once everything is over, I'll definitely have to set up my own studio when I get back to Kyoto.
Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi have also signed their contracts.
Li Yitong, as the female lead, received a slightly higher salary of one million, while Meng Ziyi received about 800,000, which was similar to Lin Yu's salary.
Of course, the two of them also had to take a cut from the company's revenue, so they didn't earn nearly as much as Lin Yu.
It was already past 5 p.m. after the contract was signed.
It's just time for dinner.
Lin Yu took the initiative to invite the two of them to dinner.
So that the two sisters wouldn't put on an act in front of him again.
Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi gave Lin Yu a look that said he was a promising young man.
Lin Yu, along with Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi, were looking for a place to eat on the street.
However, at this very moment...
Lin Yu was surprised to see a familiar figure.
And that person also saw Lin Yu.
Their eyes met!
Lin Yu realized something was wrong.
Why is it already White Dew?!
