190: Written on the night I turned into a werewolf

After greeting his friends, Tang Chen opened his email.

He saw Chen Fang write in the email body: “Tang Ge, the attachment is the demo for the order I took. I don't have Deputy Minister He's email, could you please forward it to him?”

Tang Chen was momentarily dazed.

Did he really have the ability to make things happen with just his words?

This question flashed through his mind, and Tang Chen's focus returned to the music itself.

Tang Chen stood up and smiled apologetically at Xu Zhengyang, “Excuse me, I need to make a phone call.”

Xu Zhengyang chuckled and waved his hand, “It's fine, we're just having a casual meal, you go ahead.”

Tang Chen walked out of the private room and went to the edge of the second-floor terrace, dialing Chen Fang's number.

Soon, Chen Fang's slightly hoarse voice came from the other end, “Tang Ge.”

Tang Chen frowned slightly, “Are you alright?”

“I'm fine, just a bit tired from singing too much, I'll protect my voice. You can just say what you need to say.”

“Okay, I'll tell your team at the resort to send you some medicine. First, about the music for the soundtrack, didn't you just take that order yesterday? Don't tell me you wrote the lyrics and music and even recorded it all within one day? Their requirements aren't low.”

Tang Chen's mind was full of questions now.

In the industry, there were indeed cases of taking an order and writing lyrics and music within a day, but that was always based on having a semi-finished material library, and it was usually when the client needed it urgently, making compromises on quality.

What was Chen Fang thinking, writing this song in one day and submitting it to the highly demanding qin dynasty storm production team? Was he really short on money? And how did he do it?

Chen Fang's voice came from the other end of the phone, “I didn't write it in one day. I wrote it the night I turned into a werewolf, and then I kept revising it.”

Tang Chen was slightly stunned, turned into a werewolf?

Oh, he remembered, that was 10 days ago, the night of the adventures' September 6th back-to-school themed event, Chen Fang called and said he had broken through by cultivating his meridians while bathing in the moonlight.

He had joked that Chen Fang had turned into a werewolf, and even half-jokingly threatened him that if the new song didn't have any moon elements, he'd be in for it.

Just as he thought of this, Chen Fang's voice came again: “Tang Ge, you don't have to wait. The name is moonlight.”

Tang Chen was speechless for a moment, then after a period of silence, he asked: “Are you sure it fits the style of qin dynasty storm?”

“Yes, you'll know when you hear it. I made some minor adjustments based on the song I finished two days ago. But you know, I still have variety shows to record. If they want it, they can have it. If not, I won't adjust it further; I'll keep it to sing myself.”

“Okay, I'll listen to it first. You're heading back to the resort now, right?”

“Yes, I have to record the show tomorrow morning.”

“Then I'll contact the team staying at the resort and have them prepare some throat-soothing drinks and equipment for you.”

“Okay, thank you, Tang Ge.”

Tang Chen hung up the phone, quickly contacted his team, then put on his headphones and opened the attachment Chen Fang sent.

Three minutes later, under the moonlight.

Tang Chen was a mess.

Looking up at the bright moonlight, an idea popped into his head—

Did he seem to not need to work hard anymore?

Tang Chen recovered for a moment, clicked the forward button, and wrote a body of text explaining the creative process, Chen Fang's current need to record a variety show, and his intention not to modify the music, then forwarded it to Deputy Minister He of the Music Production Department.

After leaving the terrace and closing the door, Tang Chen frowned slightly.

Why did he feel a faint unease?

It was as if he had forgotten something?

Tang Chen walked and thought for a while but still had no clue.

Never mind, he would check his schedule after dinner.

...

Meanwhile, Chen Fang sat in the nanny van and opened the system.

“Let's do a ten-pull. Same old rules, no flattery, just give me the results directly.”

“Congratulations, Host, you have received a five-choice, mountain and sea themed music gift package.”

“Congratulations, Host, you have received Intermediate Six Harmonies Spear.”

Six Harmonies Spear?!

He had heard of this spear technique when he was on the legend of fong sai-yuk set.

The reason it was called Six Harmonies Spear had several explanations. Some schools of thought believed that Six Harmonies referred to the ancient philosophical concepts of heaven, earth, east, west, south, and north. Others believed it referred to the internal three harmonies and external three harmonies between the human body and the spear. Still others believed it referred to six short routines, and some considered it a collection of six spear techniques.

Regardless, its historical status was very high. On ancient cold weapon battlefields, as a primary spear technique, it held significant practical value. Qi Jiguang's “Jixiao Xinshu” (New Book of Discipline) fully recorded the twenty-four forms of the Six Harmonies Great Spear.

And in martial arts films from previous years, this spear technique could occasionally be seen.

Chen Fang was both delighted and somewhat helpless.

It was a good reward, but System, you're a bit late!

When he was filming legend of fong sai-yuk a while ago, he didn't know spear techniques and practiced for a long time on set, shaking a large pole every day.

After two months, combined with his existing martial arts foundation, he had managed to achieve a half-step beginner level in spear techniques.

This reward was equivalent to elevating his skill several levels.

That brought up a question.

How to suddenly go from beginner to proficient?

Chen Fang rubbed his brow.

After filming the adventures, he would pretend to be a novice, find someone to teach him, then pretend to practice martial arts diligently at home, gradually revealing his true skill.

This would be a good opportunity to market himself as someone who diligently practices martial arts, attracting fans and film directors' attention.

That settled it, not a big problem.

“System, open the music gift package.”

“Please choose one from the following five works. Includes sheet music, lyrics, arrangement information, etc.”

“1. Wanjiang”

“2. Shexiang Furen”

“3. Shanqiu”

“4. Coral Sea”

“5. serving the country with utmost loyalty”

serving the country with utmost loyalty! Choose it!

After gaining the singing technique of 'Swallowing Mountains and Rivers, Looking Down on All Heroes,' he hadn't sung a song like this yet!

However, to prevent regretting a hasty decision, Chen Fang decided to take another look at the others.

“Wumeng Mountains Connecting Mountains Beyond Mountains” (Shexiang Furen) excluded, no female teammates for now.

“Shanqiu” is suitable for middle-aged people to sing, reflecting on years and life's regrets, so exclude it for now.

“Coral Sea,” you sound great, but love songs aren't lacking, and it's not needed for now.

“Wanjiang” is excellent. But the problem is, its melody is gentle and deep.

His strongest styles right now are 'Swallowing Mountains and Rivers, Looking Down on All Heroes' and 'Heart-wrenching, Soul-piercing.'

From a singing level, he should choose serving the country with utmost loyalty first. As for “Wanjiang,” he would consider it if he drew it next time.

serving the country with utmost loyalty perfectly suited his preferred style. This song sounded incredibly powerful, making one's blood boil.

Its core imagery and spiritual essence heavily relied on the historical deeds of Yue Fei.

The lyrics were bold, and the melody was stirring. It sang of national integrity, loyal and brave spirit, and love for one's country and home.

Singing this song would also have a significant impact on him, right?

His status would surely rise. Even the official side would become his background, expanding his invisible network.

This was very important.

After all, in this messy entertainment industry, it's easy to make money, but also easy to be targeted. Companies could block ordinary wealthy women and men, but it was very difficult to block top-tier wealthy women and men.

With the halo of this song and an official background, fewer people would covet him.

Ah, his fatal charm!
