Chapter 0002: Teacher Xia

I see... I currently do not have the authority to help you find songs from the music library. Perhaps you can ask Sister Mei to assist you later.

Wang Mei was taken aback upon hearing this, finally realizing where the problem lay. She smiled wryly and shook her head, saying, "Oh, I made a mistake! I never expected you to be here. I was originally looking for a teacher for him, but I couldn't find one."

Isn't she a teacher? Han Lan asked

"What are you thinking? She is Xia Ningxuan, my most prominent artist. Can she serve as your vocal teacher?" Wang Mei shook her head helplessly, "Alright, Ningxuan, you focus on your own matters, let him practice on his own. Actually, my requirements are not high; just memorize these two songs and be able to sing them. The standards for idols debuting are not very strict in this regard; the key still lies in your appearance. Therefore, your main tasks for the next two weeks are to whiten your skin and reduce muscle!" The standards for idols debuting are not very strict in this regard; the key still lies in your appearance. Therefore, your main tasks for the next two weeks are to whiten your skin and reduce muscle!

Wang Mei did not continue to move, fearing that the sound of footsteps would disrupt the atmosphere of the moment

The soundproofing of the practice room is excellent, but through the window, one can see the person inside playing the piano. Han Lan did not knock on the door to disturb her, instead quietly stood outside the window waiting for her to finish playing. However, the woman seemed to sense the gaze from outside, paused her playing, and looked over. Han Lan smiled and waved her hand before knocking on the door and entering.

Hello, teacher, my name is Han Lan. Sister Mei asked me to come here to learn vocal music from you. Han Lan smiled while observing the woman in front of him; she was very young and looked at him with a smile, evoking a sense of enchantment.

Still the same words, nourish the skin to make it fair, and reduce the muscles

This song is a bit ... ... hmm. Han Lan took out the sheet music from inside, glanced at it, and then handed it to Xia Ningxuan. This kid really thought she was the teacher that Wang Mei had found for him

Vocal Practice Room No. 3 ... ... Han Lan walked all the way to the end and finally found it, but there were already people inside

The sound of the piano came to a stop, and Wang Mei smiled as she applauded: "It seems that you have practiced quite well."

Line

While walking and thinking about which teacher I had not called yet, I unknowingly arrived outside Room 3 of the vocal music classroom. I stood there in a daze, watching a man and a woman inside who were singing and playing: "Ningxuan? What is going on?"

It is truly beautiful

Xia Ningxuan also developed some interest and continued to lead him to sing segment by segment.

As one walks past, it is possible to see through the window that the practice room is mostly filled with individuals either dancing or singing, with a slightly higher number of dancers, all of whom are young idol trainees. After all, poor singing can be adjusted in post-production, but it is much more challenging to rectify poor dancing later on

Sister Mei, please don't joke around. I still need to prepare for the new album here; I don't have the time to write songs for others.

Wang Mei, however, continued without any hesitation, saying: "However, his current image will still lead to his downfall once he takes the stage"

Han Lan nodded and said, "I am studying vocal music."

Wang Mei held the document bag, her gaze somewhat complicated as she looked at Han Lan. Perhaps he was not as she had imagined, merely a young master here for a bit of fun.

The air is infused with a faint fragrance of flowers

The vocal practice room number 3 that Wang Mei helped him borrow is one of them

Han Lan shook his head; ever since he crossed over, many of the original memories of this body had become quite vague.

"Sister Mei, the new artist you signed? They have a solid foundation," Xia Ningxuan said with a smile.

Wang Mei handed him the document bag: "These are two songs I found for you from the repertoire. You can practice them for now. At the beginning of the program, each trainee will have a three-minute personal talent showcase, and you will use them then."

Wang Mei hung up the phone with a sense of helplessness. Although she was somewhat angry with Han Lan, as Han Lan's manager, she could not truly abandon her.

... ...

Xia Ningxuan smiled and said: "To be honest, Han Lan, you are not really suited to be an idol trainee. Why not try debuting as a singer? I mean a real singer."

Han Lan automatically ignored the words that followed, glanced at the sheet music that Xia Ningxuan had handed back, and after a moment of thought said: "Sister Mei, I would like to sing a different song"

Han Lan shrugged and said with a wry smile, "I have no choice."

Tang Yu has three dance practice rooms and three vocal practice rooms, which are provided for trainees and some debut artists who have not yet gained popularity

"Alright, you can move a chair and sit down by yourself. Does Sister Mei have any other instructions?"

"You can't sing either?" Xia Ningxuan felt somewhat puzzled as to why Wang Mei had assigned her such a person, but she still patiently said, "How about this, I will sing a line, and you follow with a line, so I can see what your foundation is like."

Line

Xia Ningxuan also took a look and shook her head, saying: "These are all songs of very average quality"

Did Sister Mei send you? Are you sure she asked you to come learn vocal music with me instead of piano?

However, this teacher is rather difficult to find

Do you still have time to take him to sing

She said to select two songs from the company's copyright music library for me to practice with first

... ...

She appears pure and noble, like an angel among humans

Xia Ningxuan also curiously examined the man before her; he was different from the vast majority of men in the company, both in appearance and demeanor

... ...

The two laughed

Han Lan zipped up her sports hoodie, and her muscles instantly vanished from sight

Xia Ningxuan adjusted her posture slightly and said, "Shall we begin now? Have you studied vocal music before?"

"Very good, very good." Xia Ningxuan said with a smile, clapping her hands in encouragement

Teacher Wu, oh, are you currently supervising interns? Oh, I see, do you have time this afternoon? No time this afternoon either? Oh, alright, no worries, I apologize for bothering you. It's fine, I will ask someone else

Xia Ningxuan smiled politely and continued to play the piano, while Han Lan sang along with her accompaniment

In fact, Han Lan's foundation is not poor; the song sung in a female voice from his mouth carries a unique sense of melancholy.

Wang Mei glanced at the practice room next door; during this period, there have been quite a few new trainees, and the teachers are indeed quite busy.

"You really don't recognize me?" Xia Ningxuan was also somewhat surprised

The singing in the practice room came to a halt due to Wang Mei's knock on the door. Han Lan and Xia Ningxuan looked at the bewildered Wang Mei as she walked in, and upon realizing that she had interrupted their singing practice, she smiled and waved her hand to signal them to continue

The original version of "Past" by Xia Ningxuan sounds more like a heartbroken girl crying and lamenting, while Han Lan's rendition resembles an old man recounting a story about "friends" with a sense of profound experience. He himself does not cry, yet it evokes even more sympathy from the listeners

She knows this song, which is "Past" by Xia Ningxuan, but this is the first time she has heard the male version. It seems that in order to match Han Lan, Xia Ningxuan intentionally lowered the key, making it sound quite different from the original version

Han Lan also nervously spoke up: "Those lies told for you, those wounds suffered for you, those unforgettable pasts..."

I am here seeking inspiration, am I not the one you asked to teach him vocal music

Xia Ningxuan casually played a piece of accompaniment and began to sing softly: "Those lies I told for you, those wounds I suffered for you, those pasts that cannot be forgotten... Come, it's your turn."

How high can the quality of the company's song library be? Let's just make do with it; the company is unlikely to hire someone specifically to write songs for a trainee. How about this, Xia Ningxuan, could you help him write a song?

What about singing

Han Lan proudly raised her eyebrows

The piano accompaniment resumed, and Xia Ningxuan smiled as she looked at him

"He is not someone I signed; the boss forced him on me." Wang Mei smiled helplessly and looked at Han Lan: "However, it seems that he is not as bad as I imagined. At least in singing, he is better than most of the trainees in the company."

Han Lan hesitated for a moment, not wanting to drive away another person, so she shook her head instead

Wang Mei ignored his cleverness: "You cannot wear such clothes during the performance; there will be special costumes, which are generally tight on the inside and loose on the outside, and they may even reveal some parts. Your muscles cannot be hidden."
