DAEYTT Chapter 031 Recording Scene, Neighbor Sister Chen Xiaowen.

The next day.

Wang Qian couldn't sleep in like he did at home.

He Dongming got up early and woke up Wang Qian. They went out together, bought breakfast, and then drove to the venue for "The Voice."

"There are quite a few contestants familiarizing themselves with the venue these past few days. But Zhou said you'll be the first one for the blind audition, so you'll definitely have time to get familiar with the venue."

He Dongming yawned.

Obviously, he didn't sleep well.

Wang Qian rubbed his eyes, tidied up his stubble with the shaver from his bag, and ate a bun, saying, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether I'm familiar with it or not. It's just singing there, like in a recording studio."

The car soon arrived at a huge venue specifically built for recording variety shows, much like a massive studio.

He Dongming led Wang Qian inside, greeting many familiar faces along the way.

He Dongming was always friendly and loved chatting, so he knew almost everyone in the production team. He kept greeting people along the way, and someone even brought him breakfast.

"This is my brother, Wang Qian, one of the contestants for the blind audition. Please take care of him."

"My brother, Wang Qian. The modest gentleman on the New Song Chart, you know?"

"Yeah, he's the boss of Haidilao, haha... my brother..."

...

He Dongming introduced Wang Qian to several people from the production team.

Wang Qian shook hands and chatted with a few who were friendly.

"Boss Wang, there are quite a few contestants here to familiarize themselves with the venue today. But it's not a rehearsal, so it doesn't matter how many people there are. Just walk around the stage a couple of times. I see that Zhou arranged for you to be the first for the blind audition. Before the recording starts, do you want to come and sing a couple of times to get used to the equipment and venue?"

A middle-aged man, familiar with Wang Qian, said, offering Wang Qian a cigarette.

Although Wang Qian didn't smoke, he took it and held it in his hand. "Thanks, Brother Li! I'm just here to check out the venue, no need for a rehearsal. I wrote the songs myself, so I'm the most familiar with them. No need for a rehearsal. Besides, isn't there an NG?"

Brother Li chuckled, "That won't work. Unless there's an equipment issue, you can't re-record. If you perform poorly, that's just a reflection of your ability, and you'll be eliminated. This year, our show is going international, and people overseas are watching, so we need to be strict and professional... You're quite daring, singing original songs. But I've downloaded a few of your songs, and they're really heartfelt. Great songs!"

"Thanks, Brother Li."

After a few casual words, Wang Qian went up to the recording stage and took a look around.

The stage was large, with four chairs for the coaches facing it, and the audience seats on the side, densely packed and capable of seating at least a thousand people.

All the equipment had been installed and was undergoing final adjustments.

Wang Qian held the microphone and tested the sound. After confirming that the equipment was of top-notch quality, he felt relieved.

Zhou Qinghua walked in with two women.

One was a middle-aged woman in a suit, and the other was a girl in a black dress.

The girl had a calm temperament, not as aloof as Jiang Yu, but with a serene demeanor. Her eyes were clear and natural. Seeing Wang Qian walking on the stage, holding the microphone and testing the sound, she nodded lightly, then stood at the edge of the stage, crossing her hands in front of her with the air of a well-bred young lady.

Wang Qian recognized this girl as the first one in the stack of photos from He Dongming, Chen Xiaowen.

The genius girl from Central Conservatory of Music.

Immediately, Wang Qian quickly familiarized himself with the microphone equipment and then ended it. He stepped down from the stage and handed the microphone to Chen Xiaowen, saying, "Sorry."

Chen Xiaowen nodded lightly and smiled faintly, her hair gently swaying over her left ear. "It's okay. You're Wang Qian, right?"

Wang Qian nodded, "Yes, I'm Wang Qian."

Chen Xiaowen reached out her slender, fair right hand. "Nice to meet you, I'm Chen Xiaowen."

Wang Qian also reached out and shook hands with her, briefly touching before letting go, smiling, "Nice to meet you. Do you seem to know me?"

Chen Xiaowen, "Yes, I've seen your videos online, you're very interesting. I've also heard your four songs, they're very good, and they surprised me. I saw in the song info that all four songs were written by you, from lyrics to composition to arrangement and recording, very talented. I've been wanting to meet you for a long time."

Wang Qian was slightly surprised.

Chen Xiaowen wasn't the aloof genius he had imagined, looking down on everyone.

She was just like a neighbor sister.

Wang Qian said, "You flatter me. I've heard from the production team that you're their top pick for the championship, and they're really looking forward to your music performance."

Chen Xiaowen shook her head gently, "They're overestimating me. I dare not speak of winning in front of you. I feel like your skills are not inferior to mine. The singing skills shown in the songs you released are already at the top level of professional singers. None of the active singers in the entertainment industry can compare to you."

Wang Qian blushed a bit from the praise, chuckled, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The middle-aged woman in the suit and Zhou Qinghua exchanged a few words before walking over, "Xiaowen, you can go up and try the equipment now."

Chen Xiaowen nodded and nodded to Wang Qian with a slight smile, with a hint of apology, then walked gracefully and rhythmically onto the stage.

Wang Qian could tell that this girl's dance foundation was not weak, and she should have been practicing dance since she was a child.

Once on stage, Chen Xiaowen walked around the stage first.

The middle-aged woman stood with her hands behind her back, took two steps forward, and approached Wang Qian. "Hello, Wang Qian, I'm Xiaowen's agent, Sun Jing!"

Wang Qian nodded lightly, "Hello."

Sun Jing whispered, "Congratulations, having all four songs simultaneously enter the top ten of the New Song Chart. No one has done that in the past ten years. But I think you deserve it. I've listened to all four of your songs, and they're really good. It's been a long time since I heard such flavorful new songs."

Wang Qian replied, "Thank you."

Sun Jing continued, "After Xiaowen participates in 'The Voice,' she'll be preparing to debut and release a new single. Hopefully, there will be a chance for you to collaborate at that time."

Wang Qian chuckled, "Sorry, I don't write songs for others!"

Sun Jing said, "I see you've had a good chat with Xiaowen. You two should become friends. Xiaowen is a very proud person, not everyone can chat with her like that."

Wang Qian raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"

Sun Jing added, "You'll find out later. By the way, I heard that you haven't signed with a talent agency yet. With your wealth, you don't lack money, but what you lack is a top-notch management team to help you operate, right? In this regard, I can provide it to you, and the contract won't be inferior to Xiaowen's."

"Xiaowen is our company's most promising newcomer recently. The first contract is for second-tier top level, but the resources enjoyed are at the level of first-tier celebrities. You can have access to all that too."

Wang Qian said seriously, "I think I can directly get a first-tier contract, or even higher!"

Sun Jing laughed, "You're very confident."

Wang Qian replied, "I've always been confident! Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited until now to debut."

Sun Jing nodded. She had thoroughly researched Wang Qian's background and knew that he came from a performing arts background and had an outstanding appearance. If he had debuted right after graduating, he might have already achieved something.

But Wang Qian chose not to debut and instead started a business.

After nearly ten years of hard work, he now owned two Haidilao restaurants in Shanghai.

With an annual income close to one hundred million yuan!

He was truly a successful person.

So, she began by saying that Wang Qian probably didn't lack money.

What he lacked was a mark of success in the entertainment industry.

That is, celebrity status.

She also showed Wang Qian enough respect, facing him with a lower attitude, unlike other newcomers.

Sun Jing asked, "Are you planning to sign a big contract after the show?"

Wang Qian smiled but didn't answer, neither confirming nor denying.

Sun Jing took out a business card with only a name and phone number on it and handed it to Wang Qian. "I admire and like working with confident people. Confidence can take you higher and farther. If you stand tall then, I'm willing to fight for you a bigger contract. I hope we can cooperate in the future."

Wang Qian pocketed the business card, "We'll talk about it then!"

Sun Jing nodded, saying no more.

Considering Wang Qian's age and his successful entrepreneurship, she knew she couldn't say too much. The other party must have their own ideas and plans, so she just needed to provide what the other party wanted.

Wang Qian saw He Dongming waving at him, so he said goodbye to Sun Jing and walked towards He Dongming.

At this moment, another young man with heavy makeup and flashy clothes walked in at the door, tall, over 1.8 meters tall.

Wang Qian recognized him at a glance as Huang Tao from the photo.

Only nineteen years old, he was a trainee groomed by a major company.

Huang Tao's eyes lit up when he saw Chen Xiaowen, ignoring everyone else around him, and walked straight to the stage, calling out to Chen Xiaowen, "Xiaowen, you're here too. What a coincidence..."

Chen Xiaowen walked around the stage once, then took the microphone and stood in the middle to test the sound. She ignored Huang Tao, who was talking to her, and went down the stage directly.

Huang Tao followed Chen Xiaowen, flattering, "Your voice is so beautiful..."

Chen Xiaowen's face remained calm and natural. She also ignored Huang Tao, as if he didn't exist. She just glanced curiously at Wang Qian, then said to Sun Jing, "Sister Sun, let's go!"

Sun Jing nodded, smiled apologetically at Huang Tao and his agent, and left with Chen Xiaowen.

Huang Tao stood there and shouted to Chen Xiaowen, "Xiaowen, let me treat you to lunch at noon..."

Chen Xiaowen had already left.

She didn't even look at Huang Tao, let alone talk to him.

Because.

She felt that Huang Tao was not qualified to speak to her.

Besides being annoying, he served no other purpose.
