"In that case, let me help you find someone to write a song," Li Yaowen said, picking up his phone as soon as he confirmed that Su Yao would participate.

He'd see things through. He would have one of the company's golden composers take the time to write a song for Su Yao, and the rest would depend on her own performance.

"Brother Li, there's no need to write a song. Lu Xuan has already written several for me."

"Lu Xuan wrote them for you? Can I take a look?"

Hearing this, Li Yaowen wasn't in a hurry to make a call.

He had always recognized Lu Xuan's talent and was very curious about what good songs he had written.

"Of course."

Su Yao handed over one of the songs.

Lu Xuan had given her two songs in total.

One was called "Courage," and the other was "Across the Ocean to See You."

Su Yao liked both songs very much and had hummed them countless times in the past few days.

She handed Li Yaowen the song "Courage."

She wanted to use this song to compete.

"Courage..."

Looking at the song title, the corner of Li Yaowen's mouth curved up.

Just from the name, he knew that it was another song Lu Xuan had written specifically for Su Yao.

It seemed that this young man was also deeply in love, quite like him in his younger days. No wonder he had felt an instant connection with Lu Xuan back then.

Obviously, Lu Xuan and Su Yao's acting skills were in place.

Even an old fox like Li Yaowen couldn't see through their true relationship.

After receiving the sheet music, Li Yaowen examined it carefully.

As soon as he read the beginning, he was attracted by the lyrics and melody.

"Very good lyrics!"

Li Yaowen couldn't help but praise.

He had read countless songs in his life, and had seen many songs written by top golden composers.

However, the lyrics of "Courage" stirred up layers of ripples in Li Yaowen's heart.

The line "Love really needs courage to face the gossip."

The love here is not only romantic love, but also passion!

It reminded Li Yaowen of the time when he had broken up with his family to pursue music, and went to Bei Piao (drifting north, seeking opportunity in Beijing) alone with only two hundred yuan.

He had lost that courage a long time ago.

But this song reawakened the bravery buried deep in Li Yaowen's heart!

"Hiss—"

After reading the whole song, the gentle melody echoed in Li Yaowen's mind.

He gently closed his eyes to cover up his slightly reddened eyes.

Su Yao didn't speak, and sat quietly on the side.

She understood Li Yaowen's mood now.

When she first sang this song, she was also moved by it, and then she made up her mind to participate in the New Talent Chart.

If someone asked Su Yao who gave her the courage.

Then Su Yao would definitely answer, it was Lu Xuan!

After a long time, Li Yaowen slowly opened his eyes and regained his composure.

He began to look at Su Yao with scrutinizing eyes, and said in a deep voice.

"The song is a good song."

"But to be honest, with your current level, you are not worthy of this song."

"If I randomly find a professional female singer, I can get this song into the top ten of the New Talent Chart!"

"But you, you're still a bit short."

He said it very bluntly, but Su Yao was not annoyed at all.

Because what he said was the truth.

Although she had excellent talent, before it could be transformed into strength, everything was just empty talk!

"I will work hard, work harder, and work harder than others!"

Su Yao looked back at Li Yaowen seriously, and said firmly.

The firmness and determination in her eyes deeply shook Li Yaowen.

In the end, he decided to give Su Yao a chance.

"I will arrange a female teacher to teach you. If you don't meet my standards after a week, then I hope you can keep this song and take it out when you are ready."

"You certainly don't want to let Lu Xuan down, do you?"

If a good song is not matched with good results, it is a great regret for the composer.

Su Yao also understood this.

She valued this even more than Li Yaowen.

It didn't matter if others were disappointed, Su Yao didn't want to disappoint Lu Xuan.

She said in a swearing tone: "Brother Li, don't worry, after a week, I will hand in a satisfactory answer!"

"Okay! Let's go now, I'll arrange a teacher for you."

"Okay!"

......

At this time, Lu Xuan didn't know that Su Yao was going to participate in the New Talent Chart.

He was in the crew, auditioning for the last actor.

"Cut!"

Lu Xuan called to stop, then walked to the actor and demonstrated it himself.

"Your expression was too forceful just now. Try to relax a little, like me."

The actor was very perceptive and understood immediately.

After another try, he successfully met Lu Xuan's requirements.

"Perfect! Pass!"

After handing the detailed script to the actor, Lu Xuan lazily slumped on the chair, feeling exhausted.

Li Hao walked over with two bottles of Coca-Cola and handed one to Lu Xuan.

"Pfft—ah~"

After a thorough cooling, the exhaustion was finally driven away a little.

Li Hao joked: "It's not easy, it's finally put together all the actors, you've worked hard, Director Lu!"

These days of auditioning for actors had exhausted Lu Xuan.

The high requirements under the high standards made these old extras a little overwhelmed.

Not to mention the painstaking Lu Xuan, now he just wanted to find a bed to lie on and have a good sleep.

Hearing Li Hao's words, Lu Xuan waved his hand.

"This is only the first level, and there is still a very important level to pass."

"Um, are you sure you want to take them there?"

The place Li Hao was talking about was the address of a patient's family member that Lu Xuan had contacted.

These days, Lu Xuan and Li Hao would take the time to go there to take a look.

After two days of negotiation, the other party finally agreed to let Lu Xuan take people to visit.

Lu Xuan straightened up, his eyes burning: "Of course, I have to go."

"If you don't go, they will never understand that feeling!"

Only by integrating into the role and experiencing the life of the character can they perform the way the character should be in front of the camera.

This is the minimum standard for a good movie.

It is also one of the director's principles that Lu Xuan has always followed!

"Okay, you make the decision, I'll contact them."

Li Hao smiled, he admired Lu Xuan's seriousness.

He patted him on the shoulder, and Li Hao got up to contact the actors who had already signed the contract.

He told them that before the official start-up, they needed to be taken to a place first, and asked them to reserve three days.

Although the actors were confused, they all agreed.

In the afternoon, just as Lu Xuan and Li Hao were planning to go home, Xu Zheng stopped them.

"Director Lu, Director Li, I have finished reading the script."

"But... I have an idea, I don't know if I can talk about it."

Lu Xuan nodded to signal: "It's a good thing to have ideas, Lao Xu, just say it."

At this time, Xu Zheng's eyes were a little dark, which was a typical manifestation of getting into the play.

He said in a hoarse tone, and said with a wry smile: "I want to personally visit similar patients in the script."

"If I can't see it with my own eyes, I'm afraid I won't be able to perform the feeling I want."

Xu Zheng didn't know if his request would annoy the two directors.

But he still followed his heart and brought it up.

Even if he lost the role of the male lead, he didn't want to start shooting so hastily, that was disrespect for his identity as an actor!

"......"

After listening to Xu Zheng's words, Lu Xuan and Li Hao looked at each other.

Both could see the inexplicable meaning expressed in each other's eyes.

They had found a treasure!
