Who will play Huang Rong? Su Yu wasn't worried; he could just let the system recommend a casting choice when the time came, couldn't he?
It's just a matter of spending a little money; that's not a problem.
Su Yu slept straight through until the afternoon; if he hadn't been woken by a phone call, he might have slept a bit longer.
The person calling him at this time was Teacher Wang, Wang Xiaoshuai, whom he hadn't contacted in a long time.
"Su Yu, how's Han Jiangxue's final song coming along? Our Freshmen Welcome Gala is scheduled for the evening of September 20th, so there are three full days left." Wang Xiaoshuai got straight to the point.
Actually, he was also panicking, because Su Yu hadn't made any progress since he sent him the two songs for Bi Huo and Xue Qing to sing last time.
Although he trusted Su Yu's ability, the school administration was getting a bit anxious.
That's why he was asked to call and inquire discreetly.
Of course, this wasn't forcing Su Yu; if Su Yu said he hadn't written a suitable new song, the school administration would definitely not say anything.
After all, Su Yu had already prepared two new songs for the Freshmen Welcome Gala.
"I'll send the demo by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, Teacher Wang, so don't worry." Su Yu slapped his forehead; he had actually forgotten about this.
After all, with the semi-finals and finals of "The King of Singers" and the first episode of "Who is the Singer," he had been so busy that he forgot he still owed Teacher Wang a song.
But now that Han Jiangxue was back, recording a song was a piece of cake, wasn't it?
Moreover, Su Yu had told Han Jiangxue about participating in the Freshmen Welcome Gala before, and Han Jiangxue was much more reliable than him; she probably hadn't taken on any variety shows or endorsements recently.
"How could I not trust you? I was just informing you about the time of the Freshmen Welcome Gala. Oh, by the way, there will be an internal rehearsal during the day on the 20th. Su Yu, just have Bi Huo and Xue Qing come directly. As for you and Han Jiangxue, you can come if you have time, and the school will understand if you don't, as long as you return to school before 8 PM that night."
Wang Xiaoshuai's tone was very humble now; although Su Yu was still very close to him, their statuses had long since become vastly different.
Especially today, with the conclusion of the semi-finals and finals of "The King of Singers."
This made Wang Xiaoshuai feel a lot of pressure when talking to Su Yu.
"We both have time, so we'll go to the rehearsal together then! School matters naturally come first! Teacher Wang, you can rest assured. Oh, right, I went out for some inspiration a few days ago and brought a gift for Teacher Wang. I'll bring it on the 20th."
Su Yu also heard the restraint in Wang Xiaoshuai's tone, which made Su Yu a little uncomfortable; he actually preferred the previous way of getting along with Teacher Wang.
"Why bring me a gift! Didn't I tell you last time there was no need? As long as you're doing well, I'm doing well! Alright, you go get busy; I still need to report to the leaders. The school values you very much now."
Wang Xiaoshuai said there was no need, but the corners of his mouth had already curved upward.
Having a student like Su Yu was truly his good fortune!
Now at Yan Music, who doesn't know that Su Yu is his, Wang Xiaoshuai's, student? This gives him so much face!
After hanging up Wang Xiaoshuai's call, Su Yu washed his face and directly dialed Han Jiangxue's number.
"Are you well-rested?" Han Jiangxue's smiling voice came through.
"Yes, I feel full of energy again! Oh, right, senior sister, where are you now? Let's discuss what song to sing for the Freshmen Welcome Gala. Teacher Wang just called me about it."
Su Yu smiled foolishly and brought up the song.
"I'm at the company, planning to record the few songs you gave me last time. How about we just pick one from the remaining songs?" Han Jiangxue replied.
Su Yu had given her six backup songs for the finals; she sang one herself, co-sang one with Ye Mei, and gave one to Ye Mei, so there were still three songs not yet released.
"That works too. Then let's choose "acacia"! Please trouble senior sister to record this song first. I'll send it to Teacher Wang before tomorrow afternoon."
After thinking for a moment, Su Yu finally chose "acacia" by the Heavenly Queen.
"That's what I was thinking too! I just finished recording it. I'll send it to you now." Han Jiangxue smiled, feeling that she and her junior brother were quite in sync.
"Amazing! Then send it to me." Su Yu could only give a thumbs up to Han Jiangxue's efficiency.
Wang Xiaoshuai had just found the department head, Huang Wen, to report the content of his conversation with Su Yu, when his phone rang.
He looked down and saw that it was a green bubble message from Su Yu.
And when Wang Xiaoshuai discovered that Su Yu had sent a new song, his whole demeanor changed.
Didn't you say you'd send it by tomorrow afternoon? This is too fast!
If he had known this, wouldn't waiting a bit longer to report have saved him a lot of talk?
"Ahem, Director, Su Yu's new song for Han Jiangxue has been sent! I didn't expect him to be so fast; it must be that Han Jiangxue has finished recording it." Wang Xiaoshuai awkwardly explained.
"Heh heh, what are you waiting for, then? Just play it and listen." Huang Wen wasn't angry; instead, he chuckled and told Wang Xiaoshuai to play the music directly.
Five minutes later, after the song finished, the two exchanged glances, in silent awe!
"Send me the audio file. I'll take it to the school leaders to listen!" After a while, Huang Wen spoke, his voice dry.
It had to be said, this song "acacia" had truly moved him deeply.
Huang Wen even felt that the quality of this song was no less than any of the songs Su Yu had previously given Han Jiangxue!
He truly hadn't expected Su Yu to produce such an excellent work for the school's Freshmen Welcome Gala.
So, no matter what, he had to try to get some benefits for Su Yu!
"Good!" Wang Xiaoshuai was also beaming with joy.
He also hadn't expected Su Yu to be so impressive this time!
Good heavens, with "acacia" released, their Yan Music's Freshmen Welcome Gala was going to become famous again.
After sending the song to Wang Xiaoshuai, Su Yu no longer felt sleepy and went directly to his study.
Because after listening to Han Jiangxue's rendition of "acacia," a sentence suddenly popped into his mind: Have you heard Wang Wei's "acacia"?
Of course, he had heard it, so he wanted to write it down!
More than an hour later, Su Yu looked at a piece of "acacia" that he was most satisfied with, and couldn't help but recite aloud: "Red beans grow in the southern land, how many branches sprout in spring? May you gather many, this object is the most acacia."
"I really like this poem! Can you give it to me?" Just as Su Yu's voice fell, Han Jiangxue's voice suddenly came from behind him!
This startled Su Yu, because he had no idea when Han Jiangxue had entered!
But then he thought, when he came back, he seemed to have forgotten to lock the door because he was too sleepy...
