Mysterious Assistant of the Washed-Up Queen

Chapter 256: Is this ghost song really sung by a human?_3


What truly expanded his horizons was the discovery that, apart from the singers he was aware of, there were songs like this that could be performed in such a manner.

It completely changed his worldview.

But the astonishment didn't end there.

On the other side, after Chu Tian had helped him make adjustments, Li Guang tried again.

This time he sang more than before, and naturally, he encountered more issues.

As he became more familiar with the lyrics towards the end, his previous tendency to stumble over words noticeably decreased. Chu Tian then moved to the piano and started the accompaniment once again.

"Li Guang, I'll accompany you. Try to sing it through without pressure. Immerse yourself completely, sing as far as you can, and try to make it to the later parts," Chu Tian said.

"Okay, Teacher," Li Guang replied.

Through this period of guidance, Li Guang had already recognized that Chu Tian truly deserved his title of Musical Director; he even felt Chu Tian was more skilled than his own teachers. The techniques Chu Tian taught were ones he had never heard of, and his pinpoint accuracy in identifying issues was so on the mark that Li Guang was thoroughly convinced. He had even stopped using Chu Tian's full name, respectfully calling him 'Teacher' instead.

Chu Tian didn't pay much attention to these details. He signaled to Li Guang. Seeing Li Guang was ready, Chu Tian's hands pressed on the piano keys, and he began to play.

This rendition was significantly better than the previous attempts, and Li Guang was also hitting his stride as the song progressed into its latter half.

"Hero Dalabengba"

"Mounts the swiftest steed"

"Carrying everyone's hopes"

"Sets out from the castle"

...

"The hero draws his sword"

"The dragon speaks"

"I am Quntukutaka Kuttisuvaksirasong"

"Once more"

"Quntukutaka Kuttisuvaksirasong"

...

As it got further into the song, not only did the rhythm accelerate, but the number of characters also increased.

First came the little girl, then the Teenager, followed by the king.

But later on, it was the little girl, the Teenager, the dragon, and the narrator.

Four different voices alternated, with a rhythm so swift that others standing nearby could almost feel sparks flying from his lips.

Yang Lin could clearly see Li Guang's face contorting as he desperately struggled to maintain the clarity of his articulation and the transition of vocal tones.

Just this small section had already left Li Guang drenched in sweat, his face flushed.

"Very good, not bad at all. Though there are still some issues, at least you got through this part," Chu Tian praised.

"Li Guang, pay attention. The dragon's voice should be deeper. Also, you're still not familiar with the lyrics, so you dragged the rhythm toward the end. But that's not a big problem; it will be fine once you're familiar with them," Chu Tian advised.

"You have to memorize the lyrics; it's best if it becomes muscle memory. You can read off the sheet now, but later you'll have to have them memorized."

After giving further instruction, Chu Tian let him practice on his own.

"Practice on your own for now, but don't stay too late. Get familiar with it today. I'll come over tomorrow to continue. Let's aim to sing it smoothly and completely within three days," Chu Tian said.

After saying this, he greeted the others and left.

Once Chu Tian had gone, everyone in the recording studio let out a collective sigh of relief.

Somehow, everyone felt an extraordinary pressure when Chu Tian was present.

With the pressure now lifted, Sun Jian couldn't hold back any longer.

He strode over to Li Guang, leaned in to look at the lyrics, and muttered, "Damn, what kind of crazy song is this? Is this even meant to be sung by humans?"

Li Guang wasn't familiar with them yet, so he could only offer a dry laugh. He also slid the lyric sheet slightly away, though he kept a firm grip on it.

He had no choice. Who knew what these people were capable of? What if someone decided to play dirty and rip the lyrics?

But the others didn't seem to mind. Instead, they all leaned in to look at the crumpled, slightly damp lyric sheet. After reading it, they all expressed the same sentiment:

"This song is really not meant for humans to sing. What kind of song is this?"
