Chapter 217 Who is so boring
Arriving at the recording studio just in time, the waiting staff were incredibly respectful upon seeing Fu Xiuyan. Then, noticing him holding hands with someone, they looked up and saw it was none other than Mr. Fu's newlywed lover, the now-popular Mr. Fu. They silently sighed, "How clingy, he's so attached, even at work." But their smile was gentle, "Mr. Fu, please come in. Director Li said Mr. Xia will be coming, too, but she hasn't arrived yet, so we'll have to wait a moment."
Then he immediately ordered his assistant, "Go to the lounge and prepare some fruit and magazines." He said to Xia Yang enthusiastically, "Professor Xia, you can rest in our lounge later. I didn't know you would come today, so I'm sorry for not hosting you well. If you need anything, please feel free to tell my assistant."
Fu Xiuyan turned his head to look at Xia Yang and smiled faintly: "Hmm? Professor Xia, what do you need?"
Xia Yang calmly stepped on his foot. Fu Xiuyan stopped playing around with Xia Yang and said to the man, "Let me introduce you. This is Teacher Ye Xia, the one you've been waiting for."
It was impossible to believe it. If Fu Xiuyan hadn't always given people the impression of being a strict, stern old cadre, he would have thought without hesitation that the couple was joking with him. Since Teacher Fu wasn't the type to joke, he could only suspect that there was something wrong with his ears.
Xia Yang had already dialed Sister Ruan's video: "Ayang, are you here?"
"Okay, tell them." Xia Yang handed the phone to the staff. Everyone in the music industry knew Sister Ruan. Throughout her career, she'd only managed two artists. One was a singer, already a national-level performer; the other was a renowned songwriter whose popularity had remained high in recent years.
Sister Ruan briefly explained Xia Yang's identity. After exchanging a few pleasantries, the phone was returned to Xia Yang.
"I said I would go with you, but you didn't agree. How about I go over now?" Sister Ruan was still worried.
"No need. It's just a song recording, there's no need for so many people. It'll be over in two hours. Even if you come now, we'll almost be done by the time you get here."
"Alright. Director Li is really something. He could have just asked us to record the song. How convenient! He even went to book the studio himself. How awkward."
Xia Yang said casually, "Director Li probably doesn't want people to say he's taking advantage of others."
Sister Ruan was surprised: "Who could be so boring?"
Xia Yang glanced at Fu Xiuyan calmly and said, "You go ahead and get busy. I'll come to wish you a happy new year in a couple of days."
"Okay." Thinking that Fu Xiuyan was by Xia Yang's side, she had nothing to worry about.
The news that the person before them was the legendary Teacher Ye Xia took a long time to digest. Both of them had already stood in front of the microphone, and the sound engineer's mouth was still open.
"Teacher, let's start once you're ready. Our teacher Fu has another schedule in two hours." Luohan reminded.
"Ah? Oh. I'm ready. But two hours probably won't be enough. This song is quite difficult. Even a talented singer in the industry would take at least half a day to complete a song of this difficulty, not including tuning, tuning, and editing. And we're doing it with two people. The difficulty of recording with two people is more than twice as high as that of one person. The tacit understanding, coordination, and tonal matching of the two people all require practice..."
The sound engineer talked incessantly, trying to convince Luohan to postpone or cancel Teacher Fu's next trip.
Luohan waved his hand and said, "Just debug your equipment. There's no need for audio adjustments."
The recording engineer had heard Fu Xiuyan's rendition of "Sorrow of Mountains and Rivers" and found it excellent, but that was all the result of post-recording adjustments and tuning. Fu Xiuyan had never sung it in public again, so who knew what his voice was like? And Xia Yang, after all these years, had never sung a single time either. Being able to write a song and being able to sing are two different things. He was worried about whether today's work would go smoothly. He wanted to say something, but seeing that Mr. Fu's agent was unconcerned and busy with his phone, he kept quiet.
I thought that once the recording started, they would understand how correct my reminder to him was.
But when the recording started, he was the one who dropped his jaw. He had been in the industry for many years and had seen many singers with excellent vocal conditions. There were also a few who could achieve such a level of perfection on the first take. However, it was extremely rare for a duo to achieve such a perfect performance on the first take without any adjustment.
The sound engineer was excited. His blood was boiling, and he kept giving Fu Xiuyan and Xia Yang thumbs-up. However, since this first pass was just a test of the equipment, he still had to make subtle adjustments based on the two people's performance.
After the equipment is adjusted, the re-recording is almost ready to be released directly.
The sound engineer was already very respectful: "It's perfect! Aside from some noise that needs to be fixed, there are no other problems. However, could you two, please take another take so we can keep a single take? It's mainly because of some noise that might be difficult to edit later."
Fu Xiuyan nodded and glanced at Luohan who was sitting outside. Luohan immediately came over with a thermos cup.
Fu Xiuyan tested the water temperature before letting Xia Yang drink: "Drink slowly, take small sips."
Xia Yang took two sips and refused to drink any more. Then Fu Xiuyan took a few sips from the spot where Xia Yang had been drinking.
Everyone in the studio pretended to be busy. Their hands were constantly moving, but their eyes were glancing from all directions at the two people interacting intimately.
There are countless superficial couples in the entertainment industry, and even a few who truly love each other in their youth. But even at the height of their affection, I've never seen two people as unconcerned with others' opinions as these two do. From the moment they met until now, there's been little overly intimate behavior, but small gestures of concern, like testing the water's temperature, are almost constant.
There is no deliberate attempt to create intimate interactions, but it is precisely this kind of interaction that allows them to see more clearly the true feelings between the two people, and their concern for each other is instinctive.
When Fu Xiuyan's relationship was suddenly revealed, most people in the industry didn't take it seriously, believing it was just the usual tactics used in the industry. Everyone knew who knew who. And it happened to coincide with his comeback, so how could there be so many coincidences? Too many coincidences can only mean it's manipulative. Some people, however, couldn't help but sigh, seeing that the once-popular actor had fallen from grace and resorted to tactics to gain popularity.
Then, during the Spring Festival, his identity as a married man and President Cheng Yan was exposed at the same time. Everyone thought that this must be a marriage between wealthy families. After all, his new husband looked like a young nobleman.
When netizens and passersby were almost swooning over the sweetness of this beautiful and equally talented couple, almost no one in the circle really believed that they were in love.
They thought of countless possibilities for their marriage, but the only thing they had never thought of was true love.
