All-rounder Artist-Chapter 614 - 580: See You Tomorrow_1

People like Lin Yuan and Yang Zhongming are, after all, a minority.

Other composers, however, are mostly frowning and under great pressure.

This show, rather than being a competition among singers, is more of a competition among composers.

Although the competition rules are a bit nonsense—

Songwriting speed is not the standard to measure the strength of a composer.

Some composers may take one or two years to write a good song.

Yet, the quality of that song might be something others can’t achieve in a lifetime.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

But it depends on how you put it:

Composers who can’t write a good song in a short time aren’t necessarily weak;

But composers who can write a good song based on a theme in a short time are definitely strong!

Everyone present is a big shot in the industry.

No one wants to lose to others.

So, it’s time to draw the keyword lottery.

The first ten composers who had their names read get to draw first; Lin Yuan wasn’t on the list.

In other words:

This round has nothing to do with Lin Yuan.

He won’t receive a keyword in this round, but that’s to ensure fairness in composers’ creation time, so he can be a bystander.

Yin Dong’s name was called.

At this moment, Yin Dong breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Zhi Qiu laughed next to him: "Yin Dong, what’s with the sigh of relief?"

"Did I?"

"Absolutely!"

"I didn’t."

"I heard it!"

"Because Yang Zhongming isn’t participating this round."

The expressionless Yin Dong spoke.

Ye Zhi Qiu teased, "What a coincidence! Xian Yu isn’t participating either."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Only Lin Yuan was confused, having no idea what everyone was laughing about.

The reason for the laughter was simple:

Yin Dong had previously lost to Xian Yu, and people online were saying that Yin Dong is the new Perennial Runner-up.

Under such circumstances, Yin Dong definitely didn’t want to encounter Xian Yu.

The sigh he just breathed out was certainly due to Xian Yu.

And indeed it was.

Yin Dong would rather contend with Yang Zhongming than come across Xian Yu.

If he were to be ranked second by Xian Yu again, he would be confirmed as the Perennial Runner-up.

But of course, he definitely wouldn’t easily admit that.

He coughed once then drew a ball from the lottery box, on it were two words:

Peach Blossom!

An Hong immediately declared: "The keyword Teacher Yin Dong drew is Peach Blossom, so in this episode, Teacher Yin Dong is to write a song themed around Peach Blossom."

Ye Zhi Qiu next to him raised an eyebrow: "Peach Blossom? Seems like you’ll have to write a vintage style song this round..."

Yin Dong nodded, this was more or less his idea.

Next, Wu Long drew his keyword.

Wu Long’s keyword was "Safety".

"Seems the show group still has some conscience."

The composers’ facial expressions eased slightly, it seemed these keywords weren’t too tricky.

Indeed.

The keywords drawn by the other composers next weren’t too complex either.

Like "Music".

Like "Conscience clear".

Most are either common words or idioms.

The trickiest keyword was "Balloon".

Interestingly, Xian Yu did produce a song named "Balloon" in the early days.

But to suddenly ask a composer to write a song themed around "Balloon" was indeed challenging to find a creative angle.

...

After the drawing was over, An Hong led the composers into a small room.

According to the show rules, the composers would need to stay in the music center for the next few days, with accommodations arranged by the show crew—

To be locked in the black room!

Until they write a successful song!

The singers, on the other hand, were always on standby, waiting for the composers’ choices.

Lin Yuan didn’t need to be locked in the black room this round; his turn was next round.

Even when it was Lin Yuan’s turn next round, he basically wouldn’t be locked in the black room for long.

Because he has the System.

After getting the keyword, all he needed to do was find a matching song in the System.

Regardless of the keyword Lin Yuan drew, he was confident in being able to quickly find a suitable song.

…

After today’s recording was over, Lin Yuan went to the "Journey to the West" film crew to see how the shooting was going.

The role of Sun Wukong had been finalized.

It was Ren Yan.

Many people in the crew had objected to Ren Yan playing Sun Wukong because he was not famous.

But Ren Yan won everyone over by demonstrating a portion of Sun Wukong in the audition.

Amazing!

The Sun Wukong performed by Ren Yan had both the monkey side and the human side in perfect balance!

Now, no one thought Ren Yan was unsuitable for the role of Sun Wukong anymore.

Lin Yuan also watched Ren Yan’s performance on set for a while.

He was thinking to himself, if it still didn’t work, he would secretly use the Acting Potion.

However…

The acting potion wasn’t needed.

Ren Yan, not bad at all!

Just like Liu Xiao Ling Tong, six six six six six six!

I must say, it’s clear that you come from a family of Monkey King specialists.

...

Over the next few days, Lin Yuan aimlessly wandered around several drama sets in his spare time.

The day before the new episode of "Our Song" aired, his sister suddenly suggested that they eat hot pot at Sun Yao Huo’s restaurant.

His sister was a hot pot enthusiast.

About every two weeks, she would drag everyone to Sun Yao Huo’s restaurant for a hot pot meal.

Lin Yuan said, "Senior Yao Huo is busy recording a show recently."

His sister responded, "We’re going for hot pot, not to eat Sun Yao Huo."

Big Yaoyao excitedly said, "I agree."

Girls seemed to like hot pot more than boys.

Mom shook her head, "You guys go. I’m not going. I have a competition tonight."

Lin Yuan was taken aback, "Competition?"

His mother nodded seriously, "Recently, a group of people has been stealing our turf. They’re doing the ’Most Dazzling Ethnic Style’ dance too."

Lin Yuan: "..."

Battles between square dance groups?

It appeared to be a feud among middle-aged women.

He couldn’t help with that.

So it was settled.

Along with his sister and younger sister, Lin Yuan arrived at the Flame Hot Pot Restaurant near their house.

The Flame Hot Pot Restaurant currently has three branches in Su City.

One was close to Starlight.

One was close to their school.

One was close to Lin Yuan’s home.

How coincidental.

All were set up in places where Lin Yuan could easily reach.

Today, Lin Yuan decided to eat at the Flame Hot Pot Restaurant closest to his home.

However, shortly after the family had sat down, Lin Yuan heard a familiar voice from the entrance of the restaurant.

"Why didn’t you tell me you were coming for a meal? I could have arranged some special dishes for you."

The voice at the entrance unmistakably belonged to Sun Yao Huo.

The sister was curious, "Aren’t you recording the game?"

Sun Yao Huo hesitated and said, "Well, we’re not that busy..."

Sister said, "I thought you were busy recording the show. Why don’t you join us for dinner? Don’t be shy, make yourself at home."

Sun Yao Huo: "..."

Big Yaoyao suddenly looked hopeful. "Since you’re not busy, why don’t you invite Xia Fan and Jiang Kui to eat with us too!"

The sister teased, "So, you want to see Jiang Kui, not Xia Fan, right?"

Big Yaoyao blushed.

She was close to Xia Fan but didn’t know Jiang Kui personally.

After watching "The Masked Singer", Big Yaoyao became a fan of Jiang Kui. She had been constantly asking Lin Yuan to introduce her to Jiang Kui, but Lin Yuan kept forgetting. Today, she finally mentioned her wish.

Sun Yao Huo looked awkward and said, "Jiang Kui and Xia Fan are busy..."

Upon hearing this, Big Yaoyao couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

The sister was puzzled, "Why do they have no time while you do?"

Sun Yao Huo became even more embarrassed, "They were chosen to collaborate with a songwriter for the next episode."

The sister thoughtlessly asked, "So, no songwriter chose you?"

After she said it, she realized that might have been hurtful.

Sun Yao Huo quietly explained, "Perhaps my style wasn’t quite right for them."

The atmosphere got even more awkward.

To break the ice, the sister laughed.

"Chen Zhiyu and Madam Haoyun should have some time, right? I’ve always wanted to meet your singers from the Yu Dynasty. Tonight’s hot pot dinner would be livelier with more people!"

"That wouldn’t be appropriate."

Sun Yao Huo was almost in tears, "Chen Zhiyu and Madam Haoyun also don’t have time tonight. They’ve been chosen by the songwriters as well and need to rehearse their songs."

The sister: "..."

Out of all the people from the Yu Dynasty participating in "Our Song", even Chen Zhiyu and Madam Haoyun got chosen by songwriters. Were you the only one left out, Sun Yao Huo?

The situation became even more awkward.

Just then.

Lin Yuan and Big Yaoyao suddenly glared at each other:

"Why did you order enoki mushrooms?"

"It wasn’t me!"

"Sister?"

The two of them turned to look at Lin Xuan simultaneously. It was too much. They were out for hot pot, but were being forced to eat vegetables.

Lin Xuan shook her head, "I didn’t order them."

Sun Yao Huo opened his mouth, "The enoki mushrooms are complimentary from our restaurant..."

Lin Xuan put a hand on her forehead.

Breaking the awkward silence was indeed up to these two people.

Becuase they were completely unaware of the current awkward atmosphere.

"I’ll eat them. I actually quite like enoki mushrooms."

Sun Yao Huo quietly adjusted his emotions and sat down graciously, resuming his usual gentle smile.

"Cheer up~"

Lin Xuan quietly mouthed these words to Sun Yao Huo.

Sun Yao Huo felt a tinge of sadness in his heart and was close to breaking down.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan suddenly said to Sun Yao Huo, "See you tomorrow."

Sun Yao Huo paused.

Lin Yuan sighed internally. It seemed like Senior Yao Huo didn’t get the enoki mushroom joke.
