"Thank you everyone. It's so grand. It's as if I didn't go to the postgraduate entrance examination, but just went to the Olympics and won the gold medal."

Yang Qian smiled and cupped his hands, told everyone to go back to work, and asked the company's financial manager to arrange a dinner party for the whole company in the evening.

Of course, he didn't come to the company today to celebrate, and the results haven't come out yet.

The main purpose of Yang Qian's coming to the company is to see Zhang Shanshan's practice situation, and to determine whether the most important song of the "Frozen" musical will be recorded by Zhang Shanshan, or whether Catherine will still sing it live.

The effect of the latter is definitely not satisfactory to Yang Qian. Yang Qian is more inclined to hand it over to Zhang Shanshan to sing, but the premise is that Zhang Shanshan must pass the level of English pronunciation.

Otherwise, if she sang "Let it go" to foreign audiences, it would feel like a domestic cartoon dubbed by foreigners. The pronunciation and intonation are extremely strange. Big discount.

"Shanshan, how are you doing during this period of time? I heard that you also found a few foreign exchange students to chat and speak English together every day?"

Yang Qian brought Zhang Shanshan, who was restless, into the company's recording studio, put the bag on the table, and first smiled at her to ease the atmosphere and let the girl relax.

"Yes, I have to thank Sister Hanhan for helping me find an exchange student from their school."

Zhang Shanshan said embarrassedly.

It was indeed Yang Shihan who helped, because Zhang Shanshan's school was so ordinary that there were no foreign exchange students at all.After Zhang Shanshan asked Yang Shihan for help, Yang Shihan was at her school and helped her find a few exchange girls from the United States.

Yang Shihan put in a lot of effort, not only to help find someone, but during this time Zhang Shanshan went to Fudan University to learn English, and lived in Yang Shihan's dormitory - a girl in their dormitory rented a house off-campus, and a bed was vacant.

"Well, to practice oral English well, the main thing is to speak boldly, and then you have to observe yourself and imitate the voice and intonation of foreigners."

Yang Qian nodded in agreement.

He doesn't brag about it, but in fact, that's what he did during his undergraduate days.Nanyue University also has a special group of foreign students. They will actively participate in some activities such as English corner and Chinese corner. Yang Qian practiced his oral English in those places.

"Well, Sister Hanhan corrected my mistakes at night, so I think I can sing the whole song completely, and a lot of credit goes to Sister Hanhan. And Teacher Yang, you taught me a lesson before .”

Zhang Shanshan added something urgently later.

Emotional intelligence is not very strong, but it does not seem to be stupid.

"Haha, I only talked for two hours that time, and it didn't make much sense. Let's not talk about this, if you are ready, go in and try singing again. Don't be nervous, I didn't ask you to go through it, I mainly want to hear you The effect of practice."

Yang Qian didn't continue to chat, it's more important to get down to business.

Whether Zhang Shanshan is singing well now, Yang Qian is not sure.

Because during the final period of the postgraduate entrance examination, Yang Qian pushed away all other things. Even Ouyang Xiaoqing and Catherine would rehearse Ouyang Xiaoqing and Catherine after they returned to the United States. Yang Qian would guide them again through remote video every day, but Recently, he has no time to guide, so he put all his energy on the postgraduate entrance examination.

Zhang Shanshan's performance is the same, and now Yang Qian must pass her live singing to give a proper judgment.

"Okay, Teacher Yang, then I'll go in first."

Zhang Shanshan is very familiar with this recording studio, she went in with ease, sat in front of the microphone, put on the earphones, adjusted her mentality, and was ready to sing.

Yang Qian sat in front of the console outside the glass window, waited for Zhang Shanshan to nod, and then turned on the accompaniment and recording.

"The snow glows white on the mountain tonight,

Not a footprint to be seen”

(Translation: Tonight's white snow will cover the mountain peaks, and all footprints will be covered.)
In the opening sentence, Zhang Shanshan's singing made Yang Qian, who was listening with his earphones covered, couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

There is indeed progress!
Of course, the progress here is only about Zhang Shanshan's English pronunciation, and her singing is only at a normal level to Yang Qian's ears.

After all, Zhang Shanshan is also a very talented singer, and Yang Qian is not satisfied with her normal performance.If it was normal, Yang Qian might still hope that she could do more and better!But now he played the singing part first, focusing on listening to Zhang Shanshan's English pronunciation.

This gave Yang Qian quite a surprise!

Zhang Shanshan has made remarkable progress in the past half month!

It can be said that although the sentence she sang was not as good as that of a real native English speaker, the accent and intonation also killed the vast majority of Chinese people.

It has completely lost the Chinglish accent of ordinary English learners, and this cadence sounds decent!
"A kingdom of isolation,

And it looks like I'm the queen."

(Translation: In this isolated country, I am like the queen here.)
Yang Qian couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

He thought of the scene when he listened to Zhang Shanshan reciting words in the company last time.

Can you imagine it?
Today, Zhang Shanshan, who sang all the words correctly and sang the legato of all the sentences very standard, is the same girl who pronounced "isolation" as "love car Leixun" half a month ago!

It's unimaginable!

If Zhang Shanshan spoke English like this and returned to Bowen School of Jincheng Middle School, maybe her teachers would also be shocked, right?

Is this still the poor student who had a hard time getting into university?
Of course, now that Zhang Shanshan can speak a few words of English, it doesn't mean her grades will improve.

Maybe let her do the English test paper for the college entrance examination again, maybe she will do worse than before.

After all, the college entrance examination is over, and all the knowledge is returned to the teacher.
But Zhang Shanshan is indeed studying, and has worked hard for more than half a month like never before. Whether it is the result of her hard work or the stimulation of her potential under pressure, her current performance is enough to impress her!
"The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside,

couldn't keep it in heaven knows I've tried."

(Translation: The wind is howling, as if the inner storm vortex is surging, God knows how hard I try, but I can't hide it.)
Zhang Shanshan's singing continued, and Yang Qian gradually heard more details.

For example, in the sentence "I've tried", Yang Qian specially instructed Zhang Shanshan to pronounce "I've" before, because she used to sing "I try" directly, no matter the pronunciation of "I've", It is still the pronunciation of the past participle of "try", which is difficult for Zhang Shanshan to figure out the details.

But this time, Zhang Shanshan sang very well.

"I've" is not sung as "I have", nor is "have" omitted.

The past participle of "try" also pronounces the "d" sound perfectly, without being too clear, and without affecting the tone change of the entire sentence!
Yang Qian is also very satisfied with Zhang Shanshan's understanding of this song.

It is rare for her to sing the lyrics accurately while also taking into account the emotional expression of the whole song.

Just like what Yang Qian told her before, to learn this song with an understanding of the song, she also sang Princess Aisha's inner struggle, longing, self-blame and other multi-level emotional states.

"Not perfect, but it's a good sign!"

Yang Qian silently commented in his heart.

Not perfect, but enough to make him happy!
"Teacher Yang, I'm done singing."

"Okay, come out!"

Zhang Shanshan, who sang "Let it go" once, was a little uneasy.

She didn't know Yang Qian's evaluation of her at the moment, but Yang Qian's voice came from the loudspeaker, he just told her to go out, he didn't ask her to sing it again, or asked her to repeat which section.

Zhang Shanshan, who was not very confident in the first place, couldn't help but think about it.

Could it be that my performance is not good enough?Teacher Yang didn't even give himself a second chance.

That's right, now Xiaoqing and the others are waiting to perform abroad, time is running out, and if they are not sure who will sing this song, it will be too late.How can I wait for myself to learn this song slowly?

Zhang Shanshan was still pretending to be calm on the surface, but she couldn't help feeling sad in her heart.

She longed for Yang Qian's approval.

Although after more than half a month of tempering, her original utilitarian thoughts have gradually faded away——wanting to use this opportunity to narrow the distance between her and Ouyang Xiaoqing is actually a bit sad and ridiculous in the eyes of Zhang Shanshan now.

"Zhang Shanshan, you are not Ouyang Xiaoqing, so you don't have to follow her path."

In the dead of night, Zhang Shanshan, who suffers from insomnia due to stress, would say this to herself.

Ouyang Xiaoqing is doing well abroad, but this kind of success is not what Zhang Shanshan herself wants. What she really wants is to sing her songs well, earn more money, and be in Shanghai as soon as possible. To buy a house, when my grandfather is still healthy, take him over and enjoy a few years of happiness.

that is it!

However, although Zhang Shanshan has recognized her own direction, she still wants to get this opportunity.

Because her purpose of singing this song well has changed from being more utilitarian to being famous, to living up to Teacher Yang's expectations and becoming a better version of herself.

The process of hard work is quite happy. Zhang Shanshan found that the previously boring English has become interesting, and she is more willing to devote [-]% of her energy to it.

But if her efforts are not recognized by Teacher Yang, Zhang Shanshan will still be disappointed and sad.

After all, that was half a month of full-body devotion!
With complicated emotions, Zhang Shanshan walked out of the soundproof recording room and came to the operating desk outside.

"Sit first and wait for me."

Yang Qian was still scribbling something, he pointed to the chair next to him.

Zhang Shanshan had no choice but to sit down, picking her ripped jeans with both hands nervously, wondering if this would make them more torn.

Speaking of ripped jeans, after coming to Shanghai, the originally sallow and thin mountain girl has become a lot more fashionable.Not to mention the clothes arranged by the company during the performance, even the clothes she usually wears, she basically doesn't feel "poor".

Of course, this is also because there are wages and singing income in Qianyu Media. Even if Zhang Shanshan transfers money to her grandfather for medical treatment every month, she still has quite a lot of savings.

Compared with many girls who still need living expenses from their families, Zhang Shanshan will have more money, not to mention wearing famous brands all over her body like Dai Yuni before, but she can still dress brightly and beautifully.

It's a bit far away, Yang Qian just wrote the printed lyrics in a circle on it, recorded the part that was slightly insufficient when he heard and sang just now, and handed it to Zhang Shanshan.

"Shanshan, your English has improved a lot! Going to practice oral English with foreign exchange students, is the effect so obvious?"

Yang Qian said with a smile while covering the pen cap.

"Teacher Yang, can I sing well?"

Zhang Shanshan took the paper, and before she could read it carefully, she raised her head in disbelief.

She didn't expect that what she got was praise. There were so many comments on the lyrics, Zhang Shanshan thought she was going to be criticized.

Moreover, Yang Qian was "stern" just now!How did you change your face so quickly?
Yang Qian didn't know that Zhang Shanshan misunderstood the way he focused on recalling the few points that he didn't have time to write just now. He smiled and continued:

"Singing needs to be improved, but English is very good, I am very satisfied!"

The word "satisfaction" caught Zhang Shanshan's attention, and she was sure that she heard it right this time!

Teacher Yang is satisfied with himself?
So your efforts are recognized?

Zhang Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally a smile that could truly shine appeared on her face.

"Seeing your hard work and progress for more than half a month this time, I feel that your poor grades in the college entrance examination are because your previous foundation is too weak, and you are a little discouraged by your cultural performance. Otherwise, it would be impossible to work so hard. Didn't do well in the exam!"

Yang Qian said in a joking tone.

"No, my grades in the past were really bad, and I didn't learn well. I actually haven't learned English well now. It took so much time to learn a song well."

Zhang Shanshan was both happy and embarrassed with a smile.

"It doesn't matter if you learn slowly, the key is to have a correct attitude and be willing to put in the effort. Whether it's learning music or English, keep your current focus, and I believe you will continue to surprise us in the future!"

Yang Qian laughed.

He didn't continue to praise, pointing his fingers, motioned Zhang Shanshan to pick up the piece of paper he wrote on, and told her what needs to be improved.

"You'd better go in and sing a few more times later. I'll make up for you if you don't sing well enough. But time is running out. In the next few days, as long as I am free, I will come to the company. We also Try to record the song before next Monday and give it to the US to rehearse."

Yang Qian said this before letting Zhang Shanshan in.

"Teacher Yang, what do you mean, I can sing this song?"

Zhang Shanshan suppressed the joy in her heart and asked cautiously.

"Of course, I can make a decision, and I will sing this song for you, but your current performance is not the best. I need you to continue to show your previous energy and sing it to the best."

Yang Qian laughed.
