Lu Zhen listened carefully. It had to be said that after Li Ya’s adaptation, there was a lingering and melancholic feeling. Moreover, the tone change was especially pleasant to the ears.

“You changed it so well, but I don’t have your singing skills.” Lu Zhen sighed. She felt that handing this song to her might have covered the pearl in dust.

“If you want to learn, that’s not a problem. Moreover, the filming time for ‘Rain and Fog is very long. You have at least a year of practice. First, you have to build a foundation, then strengthen your singing skills. In the end, you will definitely be able to do it.”

Li Ya knew that Lu Zhen’s learning ability was very strong, and she calculated the time. It was completely enough for preparation and practice.

If it were anyone else who came to ask Li Ya for advice, Li Ya might not have worked so hard to adapt the song to perfection. However, because Lu Zhen was going to sing this song, Li Ya hoped that this song would achieve the best effect.

There were not many opportunities for an actor to sing the theme song. Li Ya hoped that this “Flower in the Fog” would have more popular characteristics. In the original version of the song, the climax was still too plain, but if some technical adaptations were added, the overall effect would be even more stunning.

“In short, the decision is yours.” Li Ya stood up from the piano and brought the score to the table, waiting for Lu Zhen to make her choice.

Lu Zhen quickly thought it through.

“I’ll pass on your adaptation to the partners. If that’s all right, I’d like them to invite you to join the theme song production team. What do you think?”

Li Ya smiled. “It’s my honor.”

After chatting with Li Ya, Lu Zhen felt new pressure. It was just a television drama, but she had to learn dialect and sing. As expected of the task given to her by Director Gao Fan. Nothing was easy!

Fortunately, there was plenty of time to prepare. Lu Zhen also hoped that the film and television works and songs presented in the end would be perfect. She was willing to do her best for them.

After Lu Zhen conveyed Li Ya’s suggestion for adaptation to the theme song production team, the other party also said that they were willing to communicate further with Li Ya and welcomed Li Ya to join the theme song production team.

After confirming the adaptation plan, Li Ya quickly arranged some basic practice tasks for Lu Zhen. High-difficulty singing techniques could not be learned in a day or two. One had to build a good foundation.

Li Ya’s initial requirement for Lu Zhen was to sing every sound clearly, ensure that her breathing and vocal state were the same, and train her vocal cords to remain relaxed and flexible. After doing this, she could slowly practice the rotation.

After a few days of basic knowledge, Lu Zhen finally understood some of the professional vocabulary Li Ya had told her.

A few days later, Li Ya gave Lu Zhen another guitar. “Practicing the basics might be boring. If you have time, you can also learn the guitar. It can not only increase your interest in learning, but also give you a sense of accomplishment.”

Lu Zhen hugged the guitar that Li Ya had given her and was momentarily at a loss. Wasn’t she an actress? Why was she learning music every day now? She even had to practice her instruments?

Ye Xuan came to see Lu Zhen once midway and saw that Lu Zhen was really practicing the chords. Moreover, she practiced for more than an hour. She was silent for a moment before saying, “It’s really not cost-effective to work with

Gao Fan.”

With this preparation time, they could film three to four television dramas!

Lu Zhen let go of the strings and smiled. “You can’t blame Director Gao Fan.

He gave me this opportunity, and I wanted to try my best to be perfect. Anyway, I’m not very busy now. 1 just take some time to practice every day. It won’t delay anything.”

Ye Xuan nodded and did not say anything else. She was just saying it, but she actually supported Lu Zhen’s perfectionism.

Jia Le had recruited many newcomers. It was as if asking them to learn singing and dancing was asking for their lives. People like Lu Zhen, who had a proper attitude and enthusiasm for learning, could be counted with one hand.

“Then train hard. Maybe you can become a singer in the future. I’m not against being a singer’s manager,” Ye Xuan said calmly.

As they were on the same production team, Lu Zhen and Yang Na t s rooms in the hotel were also adjacent. Yang Na saw that Lu Zhen was busy practicing after returning to the hotel from the production team every day. She sighed. “l really don’t know how you take time out.”

“A famous person once said that time is like water in a sponge. There’s always time.” Lu Zhen touched her fingers that had already grown a thin layer of calluses and smiled.

Yang Na shook her head. “l just want to lie down and rest after work. I can’t even squeeze out a drop of water..”
