Chapter 398: Chapter 377 Growth (For Master Origin Source_ Extra Chapter From Nine Sources)_1
The only reason Jiang Kui could think of as to why Teacher Admirable Fish valued her so much was perhaps due to his satisfaction with the egg yolk pastries she had made for him.
Otherwise, why would he choose me?
Why does Jiang Kui deserve to be compared with the Kings and Queens of Singing?
This has nothing to do with confidence.
Even the most confident person has to consider the actual gap.
Even achieving something significant in one’s chosen path is full of obstacles, let alone that those Kings and Queens of Singing are even rarer elites.
“Should I go over first?”
Jiang Kui spoke with difficulty.
The manager shook his head: “No need, just be prepared and take care of your throat, because this song requires you to leverage your strengths. Think about what your strengths are, I believe that’s the reason Teacher Admirable Fish chose you.”
My strengths?
Jiang Kui appeared pensive.
In the industry, the most common praises for Jiang Kui’s voice is that it is ethereal and clear, her singing voice is very beautiful. Even though it adheres to popular music, it has its unique performance style.
“But…”

“No buts, Teacher Admirable Fish chose you, and you should seize this opportunity. If you appear cowardly and anxious before him, I believe he would not hesitate to replace you!”
Jiang Kui was shocked by this.
She had been studying music since she was a child and would starve herself for the pursuit of the diversity of voice. Now the stubbornness deep in her bones was instantly ignited.
“I won’t let Teacher Admirable Fish down!”
It is said that personal allegiance is worth dying for. Jiang Kui’s self-doubt, in the beginning, was merely a natural fear of Blue Star’s top musicians.
What was she afraid of?
The singing prowess of the Kings and Queens of Singing?
Not really. Jiang Kui’s singing skills are not inferior to anyone’s.
In essence, what she feared was the prestige and reputation that those Kings and Queens of Singing had built over the years in the music circle.
That’s what truly demands awe!
So what else does she need to fear?
Fear of the Maestros behind the Kings and Queens of Singing?
Is Teacher Admirable Fish inferior to those Maestros?
Although rated as a Maestro Junior by the industry, everyone knew that Admirable Fish had the level of a Maestro, and has defeated more than one formidable Maestro.
He himself had not become a recognized Maestro, purely due to lack of experience and his young age.
If Teacher Admirable Fish can defeat so many Maestros as a non-Maestro, why can’t I as a non-King or non-Queen of Singing, combat those Kings and Queens of Singing?
Saying that I’m not an A-list singer is nothing but an excuse for my own cowardice.
No matter how you look at it, I’m just a step away from being an A-list singer – a thin layer of paper away that could be easily punctured.
At that moment, Jiang Kui was filled with boundless courage.
Ultimately, this courage was instilled in her by Teacher Admirable Fish.
“If Teacher Admirable Fish chose me, it means in his heart, I’m not inferior to those Kings and Queens of Singing. That kind of recognition, that kind of value, if I were to let him down, it would be disrespecting my respect for music.”
Jiang Kui’s eyes instantly cleared up.
Even she herself didn’t expect that this newly-born courage could carry her so far into the future.
…
Lin Yuan did not immediately ask Jiang Kui to record the song.
He simply gave her early notice, allowing Jiang Kui to prepare herself mentally.
It was not that Lin Yuan needed to use Jiang Kui to assert his abilities, but he felt that the song he prepared for December was very suitable for Jiang Kui’s voice.
Lin Yuan had been paying attention to Jiang Kui.
From the very beginning when he chose Jiang Kui to perform “Big Fish”, Lin Yuan held a high regard for Jiang Kui.
Although Lin Yuan did not participate much in Jiang Kui’s musical path later on, he would occasionally listen to her songs and judge how she was doing.
By the time Feng Shuo began writing songs for Jiang Kui consecutively, Lin Yuan was able to clearly feel Jiang Kui’s growth.
In terms of potential growth, Lin Yuan believed that Jiang Kui’s limit was very high!
In fact, he saw shadows of two very powerful female singers from the Celestial Dynasty in Jiang Kui…
Not releasing a song in November also had this consideration.
Considering Jiang Kui’s position, not releasing a song in November was just fine. The song released in December would be enough to raise Jiang Kui to another level.
Others saw Lin Yuan tightrope walking, betting on the situation in the last month, and perhaps even giving up on Jiang Kui.
Only Lin Yuan knew that he didn’t mean to gamble. He was just confident about the next song.
Of course.
Not only did Jiang Kui have to prepare, but Lin Yuan also had to get ready.
After letting Gu Dong inform Jiang Kui to prepare for the December new song chart, he buried himself in his office, producing a sample of the song.
As for the song, he had already ordered it from the system.
Having completed the sample, he entered the recording studio, called in a familiar recording engineer, and worked on the arrangement part of the song.
The so-called arrangement is essentially dressing up a song.
To use an immature analogy, the melody is a plain person, and the arrangement is to makeup and dress this person according to their appearance.
In this process, the recording engineer couldn’t avoid seeing the song Lin Yuan was preparing for December.
Result.
When the recording engineer saw the lyrics to Lin Yuan’s new song, this top-grade engineer who often worked with Maestro Yang Zhongming, was so astounded he involuntarily stepped back and collapsed into the chair before the instrument.
As he looked up at Lin Yuan, his eyes were filled with reverence:
“Teacher Admirable Fish, these lyrics are among the most amazing I’ve seen. Sorry, I’ll omit the ‘among’. They are the most perfect lyrics I’ve ever seen.”
He had only shown such eyes to Yang Zhongming, and not even to Zheng Jing, or any other maestro, which had so deep an impact on this recording engineer.
And Lin Yuan was the second musician in Starlight to win his sincere admiration.
Lin Yuan couldn’t help but say: “The music is also not bad.”
The recording engineer smiled and nodded: “Did you write such lyrics because the Literature and Art Gazette complimented your composition over lyric writing in the last month, including Ni Hongwu saying the same, so you produced such lyrics to prove them wrong?”
“No.”
“Let’s say it isn’t then.”
The recording engineer smiled more broadly, if it wasn’t, then hell had frozen over!
Admirable Fish was a young man, he naturally had a side that was spirited and daring.
If Ni Hongwu hadn’t said that Admirable Fish’s composition skills were superior to his lyric writing, how could he have dropped such a powerful bomb?
When Ni Hongwu saw the lyrics of this song, she, one of the top lyricists in Blue Star, would be flabbergasted too
Of course.
The reason for the recording engineer to be so happy was because he could participate in the recording of such a song. It was a great honor!
For those working in music production, the opportunity to take part in recording some classic songs was both prestige and an honor.
Their names would be remembered in the industry along with the songs they recorded.
Just based on this, the classic works were enough for many music practitioners to covet!
“Jiang Kui is fortunate indeed.”
The recording engineer took another look at the lyrics. The excitement and shock in his eyes couldn’t be concealed.
