You've passed the college entrance examination, but can't you make it in the entertainment

Le Yan had only attended a casual training class for a year and a half before meeting Li Yiran. His real exposure to music should have started when Li Yiran gave him music lessons.

His exposure to music was short and he had few opportunities to learn, resulting in a poor foundation.

But as long as he is taught something, he can quickly master it and use it skillfully.

The first song of the new album took me three days of learning and practicing before I could just do it.

However, in this process, Li Yiran basically taught him all the knowledge points that needed to be covered, and then it was a process of skillful application and slow digestion.

The second song also took three days to complete.

But starting from the third song, the speed gradually accelerated, one song every two days, one song a day, and two songs a day.
The second step of the album's 'detail polishing' process presents a big upward curve.

An extremely difficult start but a very smooth ending.

Throughout the process, Li Yiran also switched from holding hands, to handles, to hands, and finally to no hands at all.

In just ten days, Leyan mastered almost all the knowledge to polish the details of the song.

When the polishing of the eighth song was finished, Leyan ran out of the studio happily and shouted to the three stooges, "I completed the last few songs by myself." The three of them said without any hesitation:

"I know, let's continue with the rest of the work."

Leyan danced and asked:

"I mastered it in 10 days, aren't you surprised?"

Ni Zhen nodded lightly:

"Surprised, but not surprising when you think about what happened to you."

It’s normal for you to be able to write such awesome songs and master this knowledge in a short period of time.

Ji Xueli changed his direction and crossed his legs:

"I won't be surprised what happens to you."

The boy who played the guitar in the dark KTV half a year ago became the future hope of the entire company. If such a dreamy thing can happen, what else can't happen?

Zhang Yan put the banana in Le Yan's hand and pushed him towards the studio behind her:
"Now is not the time to be complacent. There is still a lot of work ahead, so go ahead and continue."

The current work progress is much slower than expected. The situation is very not optimistic.

After the second step, we enter the most critical stage of arranging.

Leyan is responsible for this link. Li Yiran said a long time ago that he would never interfere, so go ahead and continue working.
Le Yan turned around and returned to the studio in disgrace, passing Li Yiran who was leaning by the door drinking water.

When the two of them met each other, Li Yiran smiled and encouraged:

"you are awesome."

She saw how Leyan transformed from a lawn overgrown with grass into the six-story building it is today. Although it is still far from a skyscraper, the hard work and effort in the process are more than what meets the eye. .

Learning knowledge is only one aspect. If you want to continue to improve, you need more practice, thinking and a lot of experience, which all take time to accumulate.

She believes that Leyan will thrive after laying a solid foundation, and one day it will become a skyscraper that she can look up to.

You can’t blame others for not experiencing it personally, just like someone who doesn’t understand music at all doesn’t understand rhythm.

Le Yan hugged Li Yiran aggrievedly and continued to work.

After he left, Ji Xueli asked Li Yiran nervously:

"How long does it take to arrange the music?"

They have been in a bad mood these past few days, and delays in album production will lead to too much uncertainty in the future.

Not to mention that Leyan is about to start school soon, and the time when Li Yiran will leave to record a variety show in mid-March is also fixed, and each of these factors will affect the quality of this album.

Le Yan was already working very hard. They did not dare to ask these questions in front of Le Yan for fear of putting pressure on him. They only dared to ask Li Yiran secretly.

Li Yiran closed the door and sat on the sofa:

"The reason why the progress of polishing the details is slower than expected is because I have been putting strict demands on him. I believe that after all the details are taken care of, the arrangement progress will be smoother."

Li Yiran forced Le Yan to polish the details, and also considered the reason why Le Yan did the arranging part himself.

Compared to polishing the details, arranging music is more torturous, but this step has to be done by Leyan himself.

The more fully Li Yiran and Leyan prepare for "Polishing the Details", the fewer detours Leyan will have to make when arranging the music, and the shorter the time will be.

If Li Yiran hadn't asked Le Yan to be so detailed in the second step, the arrangement would have been doubly time-consuming.

Although the truth is this, everyone is still worried.

Ji Xueli and Ni Zhen were worried about the quality of the album, and Zhang Yan was worried about the setbacks in Li Yiran's "Singer".

"Are you really safe to let him do the arranging?" Ji Xueli held back this sentence for a long time, and finally asked.

Li Yiran's title on this album is director producer. According to her own words, she only supervises and guides from the side. The direction of the entire album is fully controlled by producer Le Yan.

Are you so relieved and let Leyan, who has only been exposed to music for less than half a year, do the arranging work on his own?
We would be relieved if you could help him!

Li Yiran shook his head firmly:

"This step must be completed by Leyan himself."

“Oh—” Zhang Yan lowered her voice, fearing that Le Yan in the room next to her could hear her, “Don’t be so stubborn, you two are a family behind closed doors, and no one will say anything even if you do it for him. "

"This is not a matter of stubbornness, this is a matter of principle." Li Yiran stood up and walked out the door.

Ji Xueli said anxiously:
"What if things don't go well for him and he can't finish the arrangement in a month or two? By then you'll have already recorded "Singer"."

Li Yiran turned his back to everyone and said coldly:
"Then let him do it himself and wait for him."

Ni Zhen, who didn't like to talk, spoke anxiously:
"If you don't help him do it, why don't you lead him to do it? It's like teaching him to polish the details, and then let him slowly get started on his own."

"Yes, that's it." Zhang Yan and Ji Xueli immediately agreed.

Please, do something!

Your giant Buddha is right next to him, so you just watch and don't care about anything?

Li Yiran turned the door handle and said firmly:

"I am a creator, so I fully understand how others feel when they point fingers at my works. This is a matter of principle."

"Then you are just waiting for him during this period?" Zhang Yan shouted angrily.

If Le Yan's arrangement cannot be completed, it will not be possible to record the fourth part that Li Yiran is responsible for.

Do you do nothing and just wait for him?

Li Yiran went out without looking back:
"There's so much more I can do."

Li Yiran described arranging as a process of decorating and beautifying a house, while Le Yan compared it to a process of peeling off cocoons after he actually started doing it.

The soundtrack of "Little Love Song" is not complicated. Piano, drums, electronic keyboard, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, and bass are all commonly used.

The difficulty at that time was to type out the scores of each piece of music separately, and to design the timing and combination of their appearance.

The songs in the new album involve too many instruments. In addition to a few big ones that he is familiar with, there are also violins, viola, cello, flute, clarinet, saxophone, erhu, pipa and many other instruments. Because Leyan I am not familiar with the music theory of many instruments, so it is very time-consuming to write the music.

And these are not the most difficult things. The most difficult thing is that the synthesizer that he wanted to touch several times but did not have time to learn appears in many songs. This is a huge nightmare for Leyan.

Li Yiran once said that synthesizers are bottomless pits. Now Leyan clearly understands the meaning of this sentence.

There are countless ways to obtain just a simple chant. What's even more annoying is that the differences between them are not obvious, and it takes repeated listening to barely distinguish them.

Because it was too time-consuming to find synthesizer sounds, Leyan once tried to remove the electronically synthesized sounds or find alternative sounds. I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but I always felt that the taste was much worse.

In many cases, it takes him four or five hours just to make an electronic synthesized sound.

If it were not for solving a series of detailed issues such as beat, speed, pitch, interlude, etc. in the previous step, Leyan would have collapsed within a few days of entering the arrangement stage.

This kind of boring, endless, and extremely brain-consuming work made Leyan feel depressed.

Those who are mourning every day don’t often have a smile on their face.

And at this most difficult moment, an even worse thing happened - he started school.

Leyan, who was already struggling with notation and synthesizers, has now lost 8 or 9 hours of working time every day. Moreover, he is also very busy with schoolwork in the second semester of his freshman year. All kinds of new performance skills and knowledge are all thrown at him. All of this was poured into his head that could not turn, and he was pushed directly into the abyss.

And even if Ji Xueli and the others didn't say anything, Le Yan knew that the current album production progress was far behind expectations, and his album also involved Li Yiran's future time.
In mid-February, except for "Missing is a Disease" with a relatively simple soundtrack, none of the other song arrangements had been completed.

After Li Yiran got the score of "Missing is a Disease", it only took him one day to complete the soundtrack with the musicians.
In other words, Leyan is the only one slowing down the rhythm of the entire album, and everyone else involved in the production is very talented.

Le Yan was now anxious and angry, and began to regret taking the job of producer without overestimating his capabilities.

"I'm going to collapse." Leyan swiped the mouse away with force, and the mouse fell to the ground with a loud noise.

This movement startled the people around, and everyone ran to see Le Yan's condition.

Li Yiran closed the door, cutting off other people's eyes.

She knelt down, stroked Le Yan's back and said:

"Take a rest and don't be anxious."

She could see all Leyan's emotions during this period.

The sleep time is getting shorter and shorter, the quality is getting worse and worse, and the mood is getting more and more irritable.

Although I feel distressed, I must not be soft-hearted at this time.

Leyan has been stubborn to this extent. If Li Yiran suddenly joins in and says he wants to help him, he would be admitting that Leyan's failure would be a bigger blow to him.

There is only one way to go now, and that is to believe in him unconditionally.

Just like it happened many times before
What everyone thought was impossible miraculously happened to Leyan.

Leyan threw himself into Li Yiran's arms and said in frustration:

"sorry"

Li Yiran gave him one thousand percent love during this period.

During the Spring Festival, Leyan took good care of Li Yiran, and during this period, Li Yiran took good care of him.

I would drop him off at school and pick him up after school. Occasionally I would go to have lunch with him at noon. In the evening, I would stay with him every step of the way when he came to the studio. He would give him water and feed him. He would speak softly and always think first. to the needs of Leyan.

Le Yan felt very sorry for Li Yiran.

She had already done this, but his emotions just couldn't be aroused.

Li Yiran held Leyan's head and said softly:

"Let's go out and play for a while?"

Leyan shook his head:
"Got to work."

He doesn't deserve a break.
Li Yiran held his head straight and forced him to raise his eyes to look at himself:

“Sometimes when you take a break, the difficulties suddenly disappear.”

Without waiting for Leyan to refute, Li Yiran quickly stood up, opened the door of the studio, and said to the people outside:

"Everyone, please go back early. You won't be working overtime tonight."

She threw her coat on Le Yan and asked pretending to be angry:
"Still not moving? Are you going to refuse my date invitation?"

Dating is a normal thing for normal young couples.

But for Li Yiran and Leyan, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Le Yan carefully recalled the more than half a year that he and Li Yiran had known each other. The only real date they had was on the street in his hometown.

When they are not together, the two of them meet alone either in class or at work. After they are together, they dare not appear in the same frame.

When Li Yiran said he wanted to date again today, Leyan was very curious.

Where are you going on a date?
"Where are we going?" Le Yan sat in the passenger seat and asked Li Yiran, who was driving quietly next to him.

Li Yiran smiled mysteriously at him:
"Go to the place where we had our first date."

"Ah?" Le Yan sat up straight in fright, "You want to take me back to my hometown?"

Could it be that because he was in such a bad mood, Li Yiran wanted to take him back to recuperate?

But no, I still have to go to class!
Li Yiran glanced at him accusingly, curled his lips and said:

"Think again, where was our first date?"

"First date." Le Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Where are you going?"

Half an hour later, Li Yiran's expensive sports car stopped at the entrance of an ice rink.

The two of them had their first real date at the skating rink on "Celebrity Love."

Although the weather is very cold, there are many people coming in and out of the skating rink.

Leyan hesitated a little:
"Do you really want to go in?"

Li Yiran threw the mask and hat on him and urged anxiously:

"Hurry up, it'll be closed soon!"

Li Yiran still changed his skates quickly and got on the ice excitedly.

She really likes skating.

I liked it when I was a kid and I still like it now.

She took two steps on the ice, returned to the entrance and stretched out her hand to the trembling Leyan:
"Come."

Leyan learned wisely this time, and the pain in Sea Bull's tail vertebra was not something to be ignored.

He held Li Yiran's hand tightly and stepped onto the ice carefully.

Li Yiran has great skills and can slip on the ice.

But after more than half a year, Leyan's limited skating skills have been swallowed by his food, and he started to stagger again. Familiar places and familiar people reminded Leyan of the first time he came here.

That day, Li Yiran pulled him on the ice and skated at lightning speed for a long time. He was so scared that his voice became hoarse.

"You were so bad back then." Le Yan complained softly.

"Why is it broken?" Li Yiran took him to the center thoughtfully.

"I was shouting like that, but you didn't stop, and you were still smiling so happily." Le Yan staggered and almost fell down, but fortunately Li Yiran had quick eyesight and quick hands to hug him.

Li Yiran hugged Le Yan tightly and said with a wicked smile:
"Maybe I've liked hearing you scream since then?"

"you--"

Leyan couldn't say anything he complained about before he could say it.

Because Li Yiran quickly took him gliding without warning, exactly the same as that day.

Le Yan bit his lip to prevent Li Yiran's conspiracy from succeeding, but no matter how tough his mouth was, it was not as tough as Li Yiran's temper.

Li Yiran skated faster and faster, turned more and more sharply, and sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Le Yan couldn't help but almost hummed a few times, and his body began to tremble slightly, but he still kept his mouth shut and remained silent.

It was his strong will that kept him from giving in to evil forces.

Mastering the stick, but aiming for the yard.

Li Yiran suddenly let go and threw Le Yan away.

The sudden change completely broke through Leyan's last line of defense. He leaned back in fear and screamed uncontrollably.

But as soon as he shouted twice, he was covered by Li Yiran. At this time, Leyan realized that Li Yiran only let go of one hand, while the other hand was still holding him tightly.

Damn, it’s too early to call
Li Yiran glared at him:
"You shouted too loudly."

Leyan immediately covered his mouth:
"Can't control it."

Li Yiran pulled him to slide to the fence. Those shouts attracted a lot of looks. She didn't want to be recognized in this situation.
Li Yiran's crazy behavior seemed to clear up Le Yan's depressed Ren Du's two veins a little bit, and the worries and depression also floated out with the two throats just now.

Le Yan supported Li Yiran's body and slid restlessly, but he was very careful and would never leave the radius of Li Yiran's arm.

As soon as he loses his center of gravity, Li Yiran's arms will immediately come up to protect him.

"Aren't you afraid of falling?" Li Yiran asked, supporting Le Yan.

A smile began to appear on Le Yan's face, he lowered his head and said:

"With you holding me, I can't fall."

Li Yiran raised his eyebrows, looked at Le Yan's profile and said:

"Actually, it's not that scary if you don't understand and don't know, right? Moreover, there is a accumulation period for potential. After efforts are made, the results often lag, but after surviving the 'valley of disappointment', the rewards will be reflected faster."

Le Yan raised his head and met Li Yiran's eyes as deep as the sea:
"I know, but there's still a sense of loss."

Both of their words were full of puns.

It seems to be about skating, but in fact the root of the topic is Leyan's recent status.

There are many reasons for depression.

The first reason is the anxiety caused by falling behind the schedule, the second reason is that the work is too difficult, and the third reason is that Leyan was too smooth before.

The sudden difficulty hit him hard.

Whether it is Ji Xueli, Zhang Yan, or Ni Zhen, they have long regarded Le Yan as an omnipotent genius. Even Le Yan himself thinks so.

Why can’t it be done here when it comes to arranging music?
Or maybe I'm just not that good?

All the previous events were all coincidences?
If you perform high-intensity work under this kind of self-denial, people will definitely collapse.

"Why should you be disappointed? No one can do everything well at the beginning. This requires a process." Li Yiran continued to enlighten Le Yan, "You are already great. You are the person who has made the most progress I have ever seen. Be so hard on yourself, okay?”

Zhang Yan asked Li Yiran, did you just wait and do nothing while Leyan was arranging the music? The answer was of course no.

During this period, Li Yiran successfully performed a character upgrade.

Because the progress of the album was not as expected and the mood of the people around him was not good, Li Yiran would be the one in the best mood and adjust the atmosphere in the studio.

There was little progress in work, and few people praised Leyan anymore, so Li Yiran would be the one who praises her. Even if Leyan found an electronic voice, she would praise it without hesitation for half an hour.

Ji Xueli and Ni Zhen became busier and busier, and came less and less often. Then Li Yiran encouraged Le Yan for the entire team and cheered him up dozens of times a day.

Before making these changes, Li Yiran didn't think she could succeed.

Changing things for her other half was very un-Li Yiran, but after she actually did it, she found that it wasn't that difficult?
Every time Leyan heard words of encouragement and praise, he would force a smile and hug her.

You must know that at this time, Leyan had fallen into a dark abyss and was too overwhelmed to take care of himself. But he did not ignore any of Li Yiran's loving feedback.

With such a good lover, Li Yiran feels that love is indeed worth pursuing, because Leyan is worth it.

At the special venue of their first date, after hearing Li Yiran's "thoughtful" encouragement, Leyan hugged her and finally opened her heart:
"Because... I want to catch up with you quickly."

Leyan has been in the industry for half a year.

Everyone around him said good things about him, said he was a genius, and said he must be the purple star that fell that day.

But to this day, he is still not even a third-tier artist.

There is no work, no voice, and the only known identity is Li Yiran's rumored boyfriend.

On the other hand, Li Yiran's career is getting better and better, he is getting more awards, and he is making more and more money.
The gap between them is getting wider and wider.

When will he be able to stand side by side with Li Yiran?
Li Yiran smiled and patted his back:
"Do you think I like you because of your talent and ability?"

Leyan stuck it into her fragrant neck, 'Huh? ' made a sound:
"Isn't it?"

Li Yiran distanced himself from him, looked into his eyes and said:
"The first time I saw you, you were as weak as a novice on this ice. You were crying and howling the whole time. What abilities do you have that I can see?"

"It's not me, we were still strangers at that time!" Leyan retorted.

"After that, you had no guests on "Mushroom House", so I agreed to fly for you, and your project was successfully approved; when you made negative comments, I spent money to delete your posts, and even helped you get trending; we shot magazine covers together, and people If you want to be bullied differently, I asked Zhang Yan to help you deal with it. Which of your current fans is not because I know you?" Li Yiran said quickly.

Leyan's face turned red
Okay, stop talking, the whole world will know that I am a soft-boiled person!

Li Yiran's face was only a few centimeters away from him, and the breath of talking hit his face, making Leyan feel itchy:
"I fell in love with you when you had nothing. What are you worried about?"

Le Yan hurriedly retorted, but was blocked by Li Yiran through the mask.

She tapped lightly and quickly separated:

"Even if you are nothing and have nothing, I will love you forever, marry you, have children with you, and form a family with you. What's more, I know you will definitely do something great, but It’s a matter of sooner or later.”

"Leyan, please stop being inwardly internal. I will feel sorry for you. Abandon all distracting thoughts and relax at work. It doesn't matter even if it is slower. We can all understand."

Leyan held her tightly in his arms, and a thousand words gathered into one sentence:
"I love you."

I love you, so I won't worry you anymore.

I love you, so I will work harder.

I love you, so I have to succeed.

The date with Li Yiran made Leyan's inner demons go away, and he could calm down about his work.

Behind him, there is the best Li Yiran in the world.

For Li Yiran's sake, Leyan could no longer immerse himself in the impatience and painful emotions he had before.

Because he knew that his emotions affected two people.

Just like Li Yiran was unhappy, he was not doing well either.

Then there are two more difficulties before him now.

One is the self-confidence that has been hit by frequent setbacks at work.

After calming down, Le Yan began to enlighten himself that ordinary things are common.

Can genius really exist?

The second difficulty was the heavy arranging work.

According to the current progress, the album release time will most likely be delayed.

The impact on his subsequent filming of movies, TV series and variety shows will be small. His main concern is that Li Yiran's "Singer" will not be affected.

For this reason, Leyan came up with an alternative plan and communicated it with the team.

As of mid-March, I have recorded as many songs as I can. The album has been reduced in size and will be carried in other formats.

Although Ji Xueli and Ni Zhen were helpless, they really had no choice now.

Le Yan's arrangement speed cannot be rushed. If you rush him to make something bad, you will regret it in the future.

In this way, all the plans were drawn up, and Leyan continued to devote himself to arranging the music.

My mentality has improved, I am no longer impatient, and my work efficiency has actually improved.

As of the end of February, Leyan has already made arrangements for 2 songs. According to this progress, Li Yiran will be able to record at least 3 songs before leaving in mid-March. This is already a blessing among misfortunes.

"Le Yan is such a genius. This song is so beautiful!" Zhang Yan put on her headphones and curled up her features.

Every time Leyan made a song, Li Yiran would lead the musicians to record a song.

Although the vocal recording hasn’t started yet, the accompaniment has already been released.

Whether they are professional musicians or senior managers like Zhang Yan, they are all praised and praised after listening to the accompaniment.

Leyan, who was playing the synthesizer, waved his hand:

"Whoever says I'm a genius in the future will have nothing to do with me. I'm just an ordinary person. Don't flatter me."

During this period, whether in the field of music or performance, Leyan tried his best to avoid such evaluations as genius, prodigy, and the best young talent.

He is just an ordinary, normal person.

Only by lowering your attitude can you have a calm mind, otherwise you will return to the previous bad state.

Li Yiran fed Le Yan a piece of mango:
"Not a genius, but an excellent musician."

Leyan opened his mouth to eat and nodded:
"Yes, I like to hear this."

Zhang Yan and Li Yiran are not the same family.

She was also proud when she twisted her tongue. The less Le Yan wanted to hear her, the more she said:
"Genius! Genius! I must say you are a genius!"

Just by chance, someone came running from far and near, muttering the same lines as Zhang Yan.

Ji Xue rushed in, squatted on his horse and pointed at Leyan and shouted:

"Genius! Genius! I'll tell you you're a genius!"

Le Yan frowned and looked at him:

"What are you mixing in?"

How many days have you not been here?

Do you know what we are talking about, just push it in?

Still walking on horseback?

How old are you?

Ji Xueli ran over excitedly, grabbed Le Yan's shoulders and shook her vigorously:

"Lion City Film Festival! The four major film festivals in the world!! You are nominated for the Best Newcomer Award!!!"

"Ah?" Even Li Yiran, who had always been unfazed by flattery, covered his mouth in surprise.

My baby has been nominated for an international award?
"Don't get confused whether it's a declaration or a nomination." Zhang Yan asked in surprise.

It’s normal for Peng Yiwei’s films to receive awards, but those who can be nominated must be those who stand out in the world. Are you right?
This is Leyan's first movie in the true sense.

Ji Xueli poked at the screen of his phone and shouted:
"It's a nomination! Peng Yiwei asked Leyan to set aside time in April to go to the Lion City with him to attend the film festival! Leyan, your first award nomination is international, and you have to bring glory to the country! You are so awesome! Genius!! "

Ji Xueli said that Leyan stood out among dozens of movies around the world, and even though he won the Best Newcomer Award, Leyan was the youngest among the nominees and his time in the industry was also the shortest.

Le Yan was shaken out of his body by Ji Xueli.

I.
I'm going to an international film festival?
From that day on, the word 'genius' appeared around Leyan like crazy.

No matter in school, company or studio, everyone praises him.

But Leyan knows that the glory of this 'genius' may only be in the field of performance, but in the field of music, he is still an ordinary person who can't even understand arrangement and synthesizers.

And this honor cannot change his current difficulties in any way, and his life is still the same.

Going to school during the day and going to the studio at night, he dealt with countless headache-inducing and painful arrangement problems every day.

What supports him to persevere is the daily encouragement and tireless care of the people around him.

But the sun always comes after the storm.
The first day of March.

In the morning, Leyan was brushing his teeth and thinking about the music score work to be done in the evening, when a sudden voice suddenly appeared in his ears:
"Congratulations to the host for learning the skill [Arranger: E (0/10)+] based on his personal ability. The rewards are being distributed."

"Congratulations to the host for getting the status card gift pack*1"

Seeing Leyan holding his toothbrush in his teeth and motionless, Li Yiran asked curiously:
"What are you thinking about?"

Le Yan turned around, smiled and said to her:
"I think I've survived what you call the 'valley of disappointment'."

You said that after surviving the valley of disappointment, the rewards will be reflected faster.

I'm finally going to catch up with you step by step. (End of chapter)
