    Cheng Hui and Stefanie Li looked at each other, the surprise in their eyes could not be concealed.

    "This matter Stefanie, did you know about it before?"

    Stefanie Li shook her head and said frankly: "I don't know about this either."

    Today¡¯s original plan was just to audition Xia Fan, and it was just a formality to facilitate explanations to investors.

    Before, Stefanie Lai mentioned to Cheng Hui about the theme song of the TV series, hoping that Xia Fan could sing the song.

    It would be better if the theme song was written and composed by Xia Fan herself, but this was just an additional request of hers, mentioned by the way, and she didn¡¯t have high expectations.

    Although Cheng Hui¡¯s resume as a director is mediocre, he has been in this industry for a long time.

    He did not refuse Stefanie Lai's request in person, but wanted to use this audition opportunity to make Xia Fan give up voluntarily. The song can be sung by you. If you have a strong will to compose the music, it is not non-negotiable.

    But the lyrics should have an ancient flavor, a profound artistic conception, and a strong sense of history.

    He didn¡¯t think Xia Fan had the ability to write lyrics, so he wanted to make things difficult for him so that he could retreat.

    Do you know that you don¡¯t have this ability?

    The theme songs of film and television dramas have always been a favorite for non-A-list singers.  Cheng Hui knew that there were many singers in the industry eyeing the theme song of this drama, so he could choose carefully to demonstrate his rights as a director.

    Today, when the record industry is collapsing and radio stations are gradually canceling their song-promoting platforms, there are not many opportunities for a singer to gain exposure for his songs. Movie and TV drama theme songs are a very rare channel.

    And Xia Fan had the same idea

    Seeing the stunned expressions of the two people, he knew that the opportunity was too good to miss, and said with a smile: "I suddenly got some inspiration after reading the plot and lines of this play. I have some words and melody in my mind."

    After a brief pause, Xia Fan looked at the dubious glances of the two people, and then he calmed down and continued: "Sister Li, Director Cheng, I have never been a prolific original singer, but an inspired singer. Sometimes it can take a year  I can¡¯t hold back a song, but when triggered by certain circumstances, I can write a song in a very short time.¡±

    Manager Stefanie Li said with some surprise: "I see! How about Director Cheng, how about we see what kind of songs Xiaoxia can write before we make a decision?"

    Cheng Hui instinctively raised his hand and glanced at the time, and replied: "Okay, it's still early anyway. Xia Fan, how long will it take for you to write this song?"

    Li Da¡¯s manager¡¯s face must be given. Anyway, after the other party writes the song, he still needs to review it, and it is not necessary to accept it.

    In fact, he has a music friend who is also interested in the theme song of this drama and wants to recommend his own work.  Cheng Hui was thinking about exchanging the theme song for favors and seeing if he could throw in an interlude to send Xia Fan away, which would also be considered as dealing with Stefanie Li.

    Xia Fan could vaguely see Cheng Hui's somewhat negative attitude, but he didn't take it seriously. He smiled and said, "Director Cheng, I will write out the lyrics of this song as quickly as possible."

    Seeing Xia Fan's confident look, Stefanie Li sighed softly and quickly asked the staff to bring paper and pens.

    She was actually a little disapproving of Xia Fan writing songs on the spot. The time was really short. How could he write any good works in such a short period of time?

    In her impression, the lyrics of a good song need to be revised several times before it can be finalized!

    Xia Fan took the paper and pen from the staff, pulled out a stool and sat down, then he lowered his head and started writing quickly on the table.

    Manager Stefanie Li stood beside him, folding her arms and looking down at Xia Fan.

    "How come he writes so fast? Doesn't he need to organize the words and sentences in his mind?"

    Generally speaking, even if a singer has rough lyrics in mind, he still has to think carefully before writing them.

    Stefanie Lai stood behind him, staring intently at Xia Fan writing lyrics.

    Good guy!

    She saw that Xia Fan wrote lyrics so fast, one sentence after another, and there was almost no hesitation between each sentence.

    At this speed, it feels like Xia Fan is not writing lyrics, but copying them

    But since the lyrics were written so quickly, the quality shouldn¡¯t be that high, right?

    Thinking of this, Stefanie Li's curiosity aroused, and she stretched her head over to take a look at the lyrics.

    Then, she became crazy

    ? ???The lyrics are so artistic. I just read them silently, and a picture full of ancient style gradually emerged in my mind.

    About 5 minutes later, Xia Fan slowly put down the pen and waved his hand. His arms were a little sore after writing so many lyrics in one breath.

    "Is it finished?" Stefanie Li asked.

    "Well, I can only say that it's about 7,788 completed, and there are still some places to be corrected when I go back." Xia Fan replied truthfully.

    This kind of lyrics with a strong ancient flavor is not easy to memorize, so I have to tinker with it after I go back.

    He glanced at Cheng Hui quietly. The guy was silent and didn't know what he was thinking.

    "Xiaoxia, do you still want to compose music?" Stefanie Li asked again.

    Xia Fan pointed to his head confidently and said: "The music score is in my head. I won't write it for the time being because of time constraints. I can sing it again first."

    When he said this, he turned to look at Cheng Hui: "Director Cheng, is that okay?"

    Cheng Hui nodded expressionlessly and said, "Okay, you can try singing it."

    He also saw the lyrics written by Xia Fan and was convinced that his friend could not write lyrics of this level, which were beautiful, desolate, and profound.

    Cheng Hui's mood is actually a little depressed.

    "Then I'll sing." Xia Fan nodded and then cleared his throat.

    "The sound of prosperity escaped into the empty door and disturbed the world

    The dream is cold, and there are several love debts in my life

    If you default to life, death, etc.

    Waiting for the annual rings one after another

    ¡­¡±

    "It rains heavily and the vegetation is deep in my old hometown.

    I heard that you are always alone

    ¡­¡±

    In the chorus part, the sudden high pitch makes the listener automatically have a desolate and sad picture in his mind.

    ??

    This time, Xia Fan's a cappella performance can be regarded as a "classic reappearance" on a small scale.

    "The sound of the herdsman's flute on the outskirts of the city fell in that wild village

    It¡¯s us who are destined to take root

    ¡­¡±

    At the end of the song, Xia Fan demonstrated his performance in both lyrics, music and singing.

    "Director Cheng, am I good at singing?" Xia Fan asked in a low voice when he saw Cheng Hui's serious expression.

    "Fireworks Easily Cold" is one of Jay Chou's representative works in the Chinese style, and it is also one of the few songs in his later works that is both popular and high-quality.

    Xia Fan is very confident about this. If Cheng Hui still dislikes such a song, it can only be said that he has something wrong in his heart.

    What¡¯s more

    "The lyrics are so appropriate to the plot of the TV series. It was tailor-made by Xiaoxia, don't you think so, Director Cheng."

    Stefanie Li, who finally came to her senses, immediately helped.

    "The song is good, the lyrics are good, and Xiaoxia's singing is good." Cheng Hui took the white paper filled with lyrics and continued, "I'll take the lyrics first. If there are other candidate songs, I will compare them then.  For a moment. I can only say that your chances are pretty good."

    "Thank you, Director Cheng!"
