Lu Chen had a dream, a very long dream. The world in the dream was familiar yet strange, and different characters performed different wonderful things. Singer, actor, freelance writer, he actually experienced three different lives in the dream world! When he woke up from the dream, Lu Chen embarked on a brilliant road to become a perfect superstar! [ I finished reading this novel years ago and wanted to introduce it to this platform, offering a translation superior to what’s available on other sites. It’s an excellent read that I highly recommend. Alongside the text, I plan to enrich the experience by including links to Chinese songs in both the paragraph and chapter comments. Prepare yourself for an emotional roller coaster. Don't worry it is a serious work with no harem, i can confirm there is only one single heroine. It is rare to find showbiz novels with a dedicated love interest they just have harem involved I can say i have better translation compared to others ] (完美大明星)

Chapter 28: A Good Song

A very beautiful hand, slender and round, flawless white skin, long fingers like spring onions, neatly trimmed nails, no nail polish on the nails, a healthy light pink.

There is no doubt that this is a woman's hand. She took the high-heeled glass gracefully and skillfully, as if this glass of burning was specially prepared for her, not to rob Lu Chen.

Lu Chen couldn't help but turn his head and saw a face that impressed him deeply.

Su Qingmei, the director of Qingyu Media!

In the evening, Director Su changed into a casual women's dress, looking much more dignified, without the kind of seductive charm.

Lu Chen said politely: "Hello, Director Su."

There was a little alienation and coldness in the politeness. Lu Chen didn't think that the woman who had been rejected by him appeared here again just to grab a cocktail.

He was instinctively alert.

"Hello, Mr. Lu Chen"

Su Qingmei replied lightly. She brought the cocktail to her lips and took a sip, then commented:

"Too much juice diluted the alcohol, the taste is sweet instead of strong, Burning is not worthy of its name."

David opened his mouth exaggeratedly and said: "Miss. Su, the alcohol content of Burning is already very high!"

"But it's not high enough, right?"

Su Qingmei put the high-heeled glass back on the bar and said to Lu Chen: "Why don't you try it too?"

There was still a light lip print on the glass.

Is this a provocation?

Lu Chen smiled and said: "Thank you, no, alcohol is not good for the throat, and I am a famous singer."

He also drank a lot of bottles of beer last night. Of course, for people who love to drink, beer is really not alcohol.

Nodding at the other party, Lu Chen got up and left the bar.

Su Qingmei felt that her charged attack was like hitting cotton, empty and powerless. She wanted to attack but couldn't find any reason, so she could only snort in shame.

David shrugged, pretending to know nothing, and continued to mix his cocktail.

As a shrewd bartender, he didn't want to get involved in the war between a man and a woman.

Carrying a guitar, Lu Chen came to the backstage.

There were not many people in the big room, only Wang Xiaoshuai was there, wearing headphones and shaking his head to listen to songs.

He didn't notice Lu Chen's appearance.

Lu Chen sat down in his seat, opened the guitar case, took out the guitar, and retuned it.

Then prepare the evening's performance repertoire.

"My Deskmate" and "Cinderella" are undoubtedly the two original songs that are fixed programs. For the other songs he played and sang, he wanted to change two soothing and affectionate love songs, or add a non-intense light rock.

Many of the customers in Houhai Bar are very picky. In the past, Lu Chen had no problem fooling those ignorant customers, but now he has higher aspirations. Even if he sings on the stage of the bar, he must have style and quality.

Before he becomes famous, Lu Chen will continue to be a bar singer, but he must do his best and not be perfunctory!

Time passed quickly, and it was almost 8 o'clock in the evening. More and more customers appeared in the bar.

Li Hong and Ye Zhenyang both came. The former was much more polite to Lu Chen and took the initiative to greet him, while the latter still couldn't let go of his airs and had a lukewarm attitude.

Lu Chen didn't care. In the past, he might envy signed singers like Ye Zhenyang, but now he doesn't need to envy anyone, no matter what level of singer!

Just after 8 o'clock, Sister Na also appeared in the backstage room.

She greeted everyone enthusiastically as usual, then pulled Lu Chen aside and said, "Some of the boss's colleagues will come over tonight. I will arrange for you to go on stage at 9 o'clock. You should perform well. It's a good opportunity!"

"I see. Thank you, Sister Na. By the way."

Lu Chen nodded and took out something he had prepared long ago: "This is for you."

"What is it?"

Sister Na took it curiously and smiled: "It's not a love letter, is it? Sister Na is too old. If I could be 20 years younger, I would actively pursue you, haha!"

What Lu Chen gave her was a folded A4 printed paper: "A song, I hope Sister Na likes it."

"You really wrote a song for me?"

Sister Na unfolded the paper, looked at the laser-printed music score on it and said in surprise: "Thank you!"

She joked with Lu Chen two days ago that she wanted Lu Chen to write a song for her, but she didn't remember it at all after she said it, so she didn't expect Lu Chen to really write a song for her.

Her voice was so loud that Li Hong and Ye Zhenyang, who were backstage, could hear it and looked at each other in surprise.

Lu Chen wrote a song for Na Jie? Is that true?

Ye Zhenyang curled his lips in disdain, seeming to be very unimpressed.

He admitted that Lu Chen's two original songs were good, but this nostalgic folk style was not suitable for Na Jie, and good songs were not so easy to write. It was probably a sensational and flattering work.

In addition to being moved, Na Jie actually did not have much expectation for the song Lu Chen wrote for her. It is not easy to create original pop music nowadays, and a good song is really hard to come by.

However, when she read the music score and sang softly, her expression changed quickly.

Although Na Jie is not a star singer, nor a professional singer, she has been working in this circle for twenty years and has sung too many songs. Her experience can be said to be extremely rich.

She can tell whether a song is good or not just by reading it once, even if it is a brand new original work.

Sister Na couldn't continue halfway through the reading, not because her level was not good or the song was too bad.

"This song"

She held the thin printed paper in both hands, like a devout believer holding the Bible, as if it was a thousand pounds, and asked in an unbelievable tone: "Is it really for me?"

She didn't believe it, let alone believe it!

Lu Chen nodded and said with certainty: "It's for you!"

Sister Na's eyes instantly sparkled with crystal tears.

She was born in a humble family. For the sake of life and love, she embarked on the road of music very early. However, her more than 20 years of professional career did not make her famous. She is still singing in bars.

Many people cannot become famous because they are not talented enough. No matter how hard they try, they cannot stand out.

But Sister Na is different. She has a high talent in singing. Her wide range and unique voice allow her to easily control many difficult songs. She is a real powerful singer.

Chen Jianhao once said in private that the reason why Na Jie has not become popular after more than 20 years of mixing is not only because of her appearance, but also because she has not met a good song of her own and a mentor who really understands music.

Men are common, but good songs are hard to find.

And Na Jie herself has been longing for a good song of her own for too long!

It's so long that she has given up and no longer yearns for it.

But fate is so wonderful that suddenly a really good song appeared in front of her, was put in her hands, and was owned by her!

This song not only has a brilliant melody, but also every word of the lyrics hits her heart, as if it was tailor-made for her, making her unable to suppress her inner emotions and tears flow in an instant.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Na suddenly opened her arms and hugged Lu Chen tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks:

"Thank you!"

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and patted her on the back, saying: "You're welcome."

He took out this song to give to Na because he was grateful for the help and care she had given him. If it weren't for Na's care, he would not be able to sing on the stage of the Forget-Me-Not Bar until now.

When you drink water, you should remember its source. People should know how to be grateful. Lu Chen is a proud person in his bones. When he was down and out, he could only take care of himself first, and when he had the ability, he was willing to repay those who deserved it.

A good song is his reward to Na!

Li Hong, Ye Zhenyang and Wang Xiaoshuai were all stunned.

They saw Lu Chen giving the song he had written to Sister Na, and Sister Na sang along with the music, but her voice was too soft for anyone to hear clearly, and then Sister Na burst into tears and hugged Lu Chen to thank him. What on earth was going on? The three had never seen Sister Na lose her composure like this!
