Under the original post, many people who knew Gu Sheng began frantically @-ing her.
Fortunately, it was an unknown fan, and the number of reposts wasn't too high—at least within the past half hour, there hadn't been too many reposts or replies. Gu Sheng quietly checked this person's Weibo profile. She swore that absolutely everyone who saw this post would do the same.
Then...
She discovered that this person was in the same city as her. So... Qiang Qingci also lived in the same city as her?!
Gu Sheng's heart skipped a few beats.
She pressed the back of her hand against her cheek to cool herself down, but it still felt unreal.
What a mysterious feeling.
Instantly, she felt that the Top talent was incredibly close.
And a man with such a pleasant voice and good looks—wasn't that practically a miracle? God gives you a good voice but makes your appearance average—this was her biggest takeaway after seeing photos of many radio DJs and people within the circle. However, she was already a Voice Fetishist and didn’t have high expectations for guys' looks, nor did she think there was anything wrong with that...
But the Top talent's voice... paired with such an eye-catching face—it was just too unbelievable!
Because of this Weibo post, Gu Sheng spent her entire lunchtime digesting the news that the Top talent was in the same city as her.
After finishing her meal, she lay on the sofa, placed her laptop on her knees, and practiced singing while listening to the tunes others had sent her and reading the lyrics. She was a bit distracted, frequently stumbling over the words and singing the wrong lyrics. In the end, she couldn't resist picking up her phone and discovered that the most recent contact on WeChat was still the Top talent...
She cleared her throat, wanting to send him a message.
But what should she say? Should she ask if the Top talent was really in the same city as her? And then exclaim, "What a coincidence, sir..."
Better not.
She continued humming along to the computer.
Well, actually, she continued to be distracted.
She kept singing the wrong lyrics, and even she was getting frustrated. Fortunately, Geng Xiaoxing's call came just in time: "Dear Sheng Sheng Man, do you have a moment? I have something explosive for you to listen to."
"Huh? What is it?"
"It's the story song collaboration between our website and Perfect. It's out," Geng Xiaoxing said excitedly. "Isn't it your 'Sword Roars in Jianghu'... Wait, no, yours is the prelude. Why isn't it out yet? My official version is already out."
"It's out? Really out?"
Since Gu Sheng wasn't the one singing for that story song, she naturally didn't know the progress.
But thinking back on this matter, it was originally her and Geng Xiaoxing planning it, then Perfect joined in... then they decided to make a story song... then they decided to do a prelude, releasing 'Sword Roars in Jianghu' first... and then the prelude event featuring various talents under the guise of a rehearsal...
Well, up to now, she hadn't played any practical role, and the story song was already out.
Gu Sheng felt guilty for a moment and decided to politely ask Dou Dou Dou Bing if there were any issues with the raw audio she submitted last time... to show that she was still proactive and not just, um, discussing cooking with the Top talent...
"Are you even listening, Gu Sheng!"
"Huh?" Gu Sheng replied blankly.
"You didn't hear a word I just said?!"
"No... Say it again," Gu Sheng casually grabbed an excuse. "I just got a new score and was thinking about how to arrange it.""Anyway, you know so many instruments, suit yourself," Geng Xiaoxing repeated her earlier words with annoyance. "I heard that story song and thought it was amazing, especially Jue Mei's voice... so beautiful it made me cry..."
Gu Sheng felt a bit awkward. Although Jue Mei was also extremely popular, his voice just didn't resonate with her.
So she was slightly, ahem, slightly indifferent to Geng Xiaoxing's kind of language.
But she absolutely understood the feelings of a voice fetishist...
"Guess he just hits your taste perfectly," Gu Sheng played along.
"Don't you think Jue Mei's dominant voice is super incredibly good?"
"Um... it's okay."
"..."
"It's fine, I understand you. Everyone likes different voices," Gu Sheng very seriously played along. "Anyway, for you, Jue Mei is... you feel your heart flutter as soon as you hear him, right?"
"Yeah..." Geng Xiaoxing's voice immediately dropped an octave, like a shy little wife. "Heart fluttering..."
"Mhm... let's get back to business."
Gu Sheng finally realized what she was like when facing her favorite voice actor:
(⊙o⊙)... utterly pathetic, worthy of scorn...
"Oh right, serious business, yeah," Geng Xiaoxing said with extreme gentleness. "Jue Mei said he wants you to listen to it because the top talent still thinks the effect isn't quite right. But I think it's fine already, definitely the best I've ever heard..."
Geng Xiaoxing complained a few more times, and Gu Sheng had already received the QQ email.
But, somehow it felt very strange.
Why did she need to listen? Could something made by Perfect really need input from a little transparent like her...
Gu Sheng agreed, hung up the phone, and opened the audio file.
...
It was freaking amazing!
...Top talent, what standards do you have that you're still not satisfied with a work like this... From the singing to the spoken parts, from the arrangement to the post-production, the lyricist—nothing was less than perfect...
It had been too long since Gu Sheng heard something of such high quality, especially since it contained the top talent's spoken parts.
She was practically trembling with excitement while listening to it over and over, about seven or eight times, before she finally paused. So... what flaws could this possibly have that need reworking? T T
Geng Xiaoxing... are you sure Jue Mei isn't just messing with you...
She really felt she couldn't offer any feedback except that it was good, just good.
After thinking for a while, she decided to call Geng Xiaoxing again to express her "limited ability" and her deep admiration for this story song.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she picked up her phone, she saw a WeChat message from a few minutes ago.
...It was from the top talent.
"Was the poached pearl conch slices delicious?"
Qiang Qingci's voice was low and unhurried, carrying a hint of sunlight in the afternoon.
Hearing these words, Gu Sheng suddenly... felt her heart flutter.
Oh my god.
Gu Sheng, are you starting to have improper thoughts about him...
She stared blankly at her phone for a long moment, cleared her throat, but didn't dare reply for a while. She was thinking, carefully and seriously, whether she had really... been influenced by rumors and started to have psychological suggestions... suggesting that the top talent was interested in her?!
Gu Sheng, wake up, wake up!
Things in the two-dimensional world can't be taken seriously...
She placed her laptop on the coffee table beside her, stood up, took several deep breaths, temporarily pushed aside her improper thoughts, and began a normal conversation with the top talent: "It was quite delicious. Have you eaten yet, sir?"Qiang Qingci: "Eating a boxed meal."
So pitiful... How could we let our Top talent eat a boxed meal T T
"Not at home?" She pretended to know nothing, to have seen nothing.
"Hmm," Qiang Qingci chuckled, "didn't someone @ you?"
(⊙o⊙)... Sir, please don't expose me, okay...
Just pretend you didn't see that ambiguous Weibo post, okay...
Gu Sheng stubbornly played dumb: "Uh, I haven't had time to check Weibo yet."
Sir, please don't say any more, I beg you, please don't expose me again.
Fortunately, Qiang Qingci didn't continue with that topic.
He actually asked her about the recording for "Sword Roars in Jianghu." Gu Sheng honestly replied that she had already submitted her raw audio and was just waiting for feedback from the big-shot planner Dou Dou Dou Bing... Then, she remembered the song she had just listened to and decided to directly share her thoughts with Qiang Qingci: "Sir, I just listened to the story song you sent. I think it's really good."
"Hmm, it's not bad." Qiang Qingci's voice was very calm.
...
So, was it really Jue Mei teasing Geng Xiaoxing?
Gu Sheng wondered.
Qiang Qingci sent another voice message: "However, if it were recorded in a recording studio, the effect would be even better."
His tone was very light, as if stating a fact.
No, it is a fact, okay.
Everyone knows that recording in a studio is best—otherwise, recording studios wouldn't exist...
Gu Sheng: "Yeah, it would definitely be more perfect."
Qiang Qingci casually told her: "But this version is already pretty close."
Gu Sheng: "Hmm..."
"For the song 'Sword Roars in Jianghu,'" his voice carried a slight resonance, with a mesmerizing gentleness, "I'll coordinate your schedules and book a recording studio."
"That's great, that way we'll definitely have the best..."
...effect.
Gu Sheng abruptly stopped...
Recording studio?
Recording studio?!
She stared at her phone, unable to believe what she had just heard.
Sir, is he saying... he wants to record... with me...
Author's Note: Routine business, oh no, heartfelt confession: Top talent... take me away, or I'll take you away... sob sob sob sob ps. ( ⊙ o ⊙ ) After listening to A-da's concert, I'm not feeling well, so I came to update... Even though he's not my Favorite Voice Actor, A-da is still really beautiful, okay T T...
