I Want to Waste Away Time With You: Chapter 7

[Previous Chapter][Table of Content][Next Chapter]

Lu Wei Xi spent the next two days in her room until she finished recording a demo that she was satisfied with. Unfortunately, when she sent the audio file to Meow Meow Don’t Cry, she immediately received a not so good reply from the other party. 

Lyricist-Meow Meow Don’t Cry: I finished listening. Your voice is in line with my requirements, your singing is also great QAQ, but now there is a sudden situation...The CV who was supposed to play the assassin, Bai Yan dada, for some reason, can’t take part in it now. So, because we have to find another male CV, the song will have to be postponed.

Cover Singer-Eastern Attempt: It doesn't matter, but... is there a suitable candidate you guys have in mind? 

Lyricist-Meow Meow Don’t Cry: I have discussed it with Purple Glass and the others and have set on two suitable candidates: Nothing Else from Floating Songs and Su Qing Mo from Ninth Heaven. However, Su Qing Mo dada only entered the circle last year so I don’t know if he will pick this project…. 

These days, with the guidance of the people in Alluring Sounds, Lu Wei Xi was able to figure out the structure of the ancient music entertainment circle.

Ninth Heaven Dubbing Group has been around for ten years and over the years, it is the number one group in the circle. They housed many gold medal CVs such as Su Qing Mo, White Jade Radish, Sima Qing Shan and Southern Wind*. 

T/N: It’s very hard for me to differentiate between their actual names and their aliases.

But the most famous one who has already retired for two-three years is Hidden Fascination.

Speaking of this, after being in the circle for a long time, he had already been labeled as a god. Before he retired, he issued out the announcement through a YY audio which had been widely circulated on major websites and has been passed down for others to hear. Fans are also very loyal and dedicated so although Hidden Fascination has been retired for so long, the comments on his Weibo are still increasing every day. In short, the influence of Wonder in the circle did not change after his retirement.

Although they are both considered legends in the circle….Hidden Fascination would occasionally participate in YY get-togethers in the circle, unlike Wonder who would stay out of it.

The group Floating Song and Alluring Sounds are on the same level but compared to Ninth Heaven it is not good enough. Despite this, Nothing Else is still a household name so having him on board with this project, there would be no loss. 

But….

Contemplating it, Lu Wei Xi bravely typed back a reply.

Cover Singer-Eastern Attempt: Honestly speaking….why don’t you ask Wonder?

The other side was silent. 

From the time when Lu Wei Xi had been looking at the chat window, the other party had been on the status of “Typing.” But after a long time, the message hasn’t been sent.

She waited patiently for a long time before she received a sincere and fearful reply. 

Lyricist-Meow Meow Don’t Cry: You must be playing with me….Wonder had never done monologues* for songs before. Do you want to know what happened when I asked him once? 

T/N: 念白-It's supposed to be like the spoken parts in a Chinese opera but I have no idea how to phrase it so I think monologue is a somewhat suitable translation of it. 

When Lu Wei Xi read her reply, she thought back to that person’s cold attitude….. 

While she was thinking about how to respond back, the other party quickly sent another message.

Lyricist-Meow Meow Don’t Cry: I think trying to invite Wonder dada for this project is slightly harder than trying to get Hidden Fascination….but that year when Hidden Fascination came out of retirement for a short period, he only participated in two dramas written by his own colleague and that was it. Tut, after so many years, just thinking about it still makes me envious.

Is...it that hard?

Lu Wei Xi was intimidated by her and thought that her suggestion was too overboard. She hurries to explain.

Cover Singer-Eastern Attempt: If it’s difficult then forget about it. You already know that I am Wonder’s fan so I just wanted to get closer to him…. cough

Lyricist-Meow Meow Don’t Cry: I can understand your feeling. To be honest, if we can get Wonder on board, it would be free publicity. If Wonder-sama’s name is attached to it, can you imagine how crazy the fans will be?!

Lu Wei Xi thought about that cool and enriching voice and began to fangirl. 

Cover Singer-Eastern Attempt: Yes, yes yes. His voice is so nice, it’s such a waste for him to be picky about his projects.

After she sent that out, the computer was silent for a second time. After looking through Taobao twice, Meow Meow Don’t Cry finally replied back with a long paragraph. 

Lyricist-Meow Meow Don’t Cry: Forget it, if I die then die. As the saying goes, if you haven’t been rejected by Wonder at least once, then you are not considered part of the ancient music circle. I’ll ask him but 80% of the offers he received on Weibo will be left unresponded while the other 20% are gloriously responded with “Not Interested.”

Cover Singer-Eastern Attempt: Okay!!

Excited, Lu Wei Xi couldn’t help but type out two exclamation points. If she gets a chance to work with Wonder, even if it is not a duet, it is still progress! 

Of course, there is a 99% chance that he will reject the offer.
