You were supposed to have a fake marriage with the diva, so how did you become her father?

Chapter 283 Lyrics

After contacting everyone, Lu Ran leaned back on the sofa and let out a long sigh.

I've made all the necessary phone calls and confirmed everything that needed to be confirmed.

He basically slept with all the top artists from several companies, including Xingyao, Xingguang, Xinghua, and Shenhua.

"With so many people, how do you plan to coordinate them?" Shen Yuege handed him a peeled apple.

"Let's create a group chat." Lu Ran waved his phone. "Let's post the lyrics and music first, so everyone can get familiar with it."

He opened TUTU and created a new group chat, with the group name: "Tomorrow Will Be Better" Choir.

Then, everyone who had just been contacted—Li Mo, Zhou Zhixiong, Zhang Lihua, Xu Manlin, agents from various companies, and all the artists who were confirmed to participate—were brought in without exception.

The moment the group chat was created, message notification sounds started ringing out everywhere.

Xu Manlin: "President Lu, you're quite quick. Where are the lyrics and music? Send them over."

Lin Weiwei: "Finally, Mr. Lu's song is here! I can't wait!"

Liu Siqi: "Lu Ran, if you dare to assign me high notes, I'll get mad at you."

Tan Yu: "Brother Lu! Brother Lu! I want to sing too! Arrange a line for me!"

Lu Ran couldn't help but smile as he looked at the lively chatter in the group.

I just don't know who dragged Tan Yu into this.

With Tan Yu's singing ability, he stands out like a chicken among cranes among all these singers.

However, with so many lyrics, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to practice even one line properly.

He pulled up the sheet music he had worked on all night on his phone—although it was redeemed through the system, it still took him quite a bit of effort to organize the sheet music and lyrics into a document.

[Lu Ran]: "The lyrics and music have been posted in the group. Please take a look. Feel free to ask any questions."

Not long after the file was sent out, some commotion started in the group.

Then came an even more intense barrage of news.

Xu Manlin: "This song... is so well written."

Lin Weiwei: "My God, Teacher Lu's skills are truly extraordinary."

Liu Siqi: "Lu Ran, you're amazing, you've been hiding such a good song."

Zhang Lihua: "Although I don't know much about music, I understand the lyrics. They're well-written."

Zhou Zhixiong: "President Lu, when did you write this song?"

The chat box was filled with all sorts of questions.

He knew how these people would react.

The song "Tomorrow Will Be Better" was an unsurpassable classic in the Chinese music scene in its previous life.

Born in that special era, it brought together more than sixty top singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan, singing out the most moving power in the simplest way.

For decades, countless people have sung this song on different occasions, and each time it has awakened the deepest kindness in people's hearts.

And now, Lu Ran has brought it into this world.

It's not for making money, not for gaining popularity, but for those who lost their homes in the earthquake, and for those who are still rebuilding hope on the ruins.

Lu Ran felt that there was no song more suitable than this one.

With the help of the show's influence, both the show and the song will surely reach new heights.

"I'm definitely going to sing this song," Liu Siqi declared first.

Her message was brief, but her tone carried an undeniable firmness.

Seeing Liu Siqi's statement, Lin Weiwei quickly followed up: "Me too. Mr. Lu, you can arrange any line for me, even just one line, I'll sing it."

Lin Weiwei had personally experienced how formidable Lu Ran was.

In the previous episodes, her abilities far surpassed those of Liu Siqi and Shen Yuege, but because of this man, she was relegated to third place on the show.

Seeing Lin Weiwei's expression, Liu Siqi quickly teased, "Alright, alright, stop acting like you're pledging all your loyalty. Lu Ran, hurry up and distribute the lyrics. With so many people, it'll be a complete mess."

Tan Yu: "Sister Liu is right! Brother Lu, hurry up and distribute them! I can't wait to sing!"

Lu Ran looked at these messages and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Don't rush," he typed back, "Let me think about it first. I'll send the divided lyrics to the group later, and we can adjust them if there are any different opinions."

"it is good."

"No problem, Mr. Lu."

Lu Ran left the group chat, opened his phone's notes app, and began typing, word by word.

This song, "Tomorrow Will Be Better," had multiple versions in its previous life.

The earliest version was a group of stars singing, each person singing a line or two, and finally a grand chorus.

This format was also adopted in various subsequent charity performances.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ran decided to use the most classic version—each person sings one or two lines solo, and the whole group sings the chorus at the end.

But we need to carefully consider who will sing which line.

In a large chorus, who sings which line is also quite significant.

First of all, the first sentence is the most crucial.

The first sentence sets the tone and the overall atmosphere.

If sung well, the whole song will have a soul.

This person must be a singer with a distinctive, approachable, and important voice.

Lu Ran wrote down the first name almost without hesitation—Shen Yuege.

Her voice was warm, her breath steady, and her demeanor commanding. Most importantly, she was the host and judge of the entire show, so it was only natural for her to sing the first line.

The first line of the lyrics is so important, of course it should be sung by our own people.

He wrote in his memo:

[First line: Shen Yuege – "Gently awaken your sleeping soul, slowly open your eyes."]

Then comes the first line of the chorus.

The chorus is the climax of the song, and the first line of the chorus should be sung by someone with a powerful and penetrating voice.

This person needs to be able to elevate the emotions and let the audience feel the power of the song.

Of course, most importantly, this line of lyrics is just as important as the first line, so it has to be sung by someone from our own circle.

Lu Ran did not hesitate and wrote down his name.

Although he hasn't sung properly in a long time, his vocal skills are more than enough to sing this line.

Moreover, as the initiator of the entire event, his personal singing of the first line of the chorus also carries special significance.

[First line of the chorus: Lu Ran – “Sing out your passion, stretch out your hands, let me embrace your dream.”]

He left the first line of the second verse of the chorus to Liu Siqi.

Liu Siqi's voice has a unique texture, clear yet warm, with beautiful but not harsh high notes, making her perfectly suited to sing lyrics full of hope.

[First line of the second verse of the chorus: Liu Siqi – "Sing out your passion, stretch out your hands, let me embrace your dreams."]

Next up is Xu Manlin.

She's a pillar of Myth Entertainment and a recognized powerhouse in the music industry. Lu Ran assigned her a particularly important part of the melody.

[Xu Manlin – "Who can disregard their homeland and abandon their childhood memories?"]

As for Lin Weiwei, Lu Ran arranged a rather gentle line for her. Lin Weiwei's voice is soft, making her best suited to singing such tender lyrics.

Lin Weiwei – "Who can bear to see yesterday's sorrows steal away our smiles?"

Then there's Andy Lau from Xinghua Entertainment. This Andy Lau is a veteran in the music industry, with a deep and powerful voice, and he exudes a calm and composed aura in everything he sings. Lu Ran assigned him a rather weighty line.

Andy Lau – "Youth is ignorant of worldly affairs, rouge is stained with dust."

Li Mengdie and Huang Wanzhu are two top-tier stars at Xinghua Entertainment. Lu Ran assigned them each a line, staggering their positions to avoid their voices clashing.

[Li Mengdie – "Let long-unseen tears moisten your face."]

[Huang Wanzhu – “Sing out your passion, reach out your hands, let me embrace your dreams.”]

Chen Hao from Starlight has a clean and clear voice, which is suitable for singing lyrics with a youthful spirit.

[Chen Hao – "Let me embrace your dreams, let me see your true face."]

Zhou Zihan, a newcomer, may not be famous yet, but she has a good foundation. Lu Ran gave her a relatively simple question to practice with.

Zhou Zihan – “Let our smiles be filled with the pride of youth.”

Then there are the top ten contestants from "Super Girl".

Although these girls haven't officially debuted yet, after several months of competition and training, each of them has made a qualitative leap in their abilities.

Moreover, all ten finalists have already been signed by Xingyue Studio, so they are considered to be part of their own team.

This is also why Lu Ran chose to involve them all.

Involving them in this chorus is both a training exercise for them and a recognition of their abilities.

Lin Xiaoxi's voice is clear and bright, with a natural charm.

Lin Xiaoxi – “Gently awaken your sleeping soul, slowly open your eyes.”

Su Qian is an original singer-songwriter whose voice tells a story.

[Su Qian—"Look at this busy world, is it still spinning on and on, all alone?"]

Zhou Wan comes from a folk music background, and her high notes are incredibly stable.

Zhou Wan – "The spring breeze, oblivious to romance, stirs the heart of a young man."

Zhang Xinyi's voice is quite deep, which is suitable for singing lyrics with weight.

Zhang Xinyi – “Let the tear stains on yesterday's face dry with the wind of memory.”

Lu Ran also assigned a line to each of the remaining singers—Zhao Yiman, Chen Xue, Liu Yuxin, Wang Ruoxi, and Sun Xiaoxiao—spread across different sections of the song.

Finally, there's Xu Manxue.

Although Xu Manxue's voice is not as good as others, her emotional expression is in no way inferior to theirs.

Lu Ran thought for a moment and also arranged a line of lyrics for her separately.

[Xu Manxue – "Let our smiles be filled with the pride of youth."]

As for Tan Yu, Lu Ran thought about it and realized that with his singing skills, if he sang solo, there would definitely be a significant difference between him and the others, and it would sound out of place.

Let's just let him participate in the chorus. There are also several promising newcomers signed by Xingyue Studio, so Tan Yu won't seem so lonely.

After distributing the lyrics to everyone, Lu Ran added a few notes to his memo:

[For the chorus part, all participants sing together. Rehearsals will be conducted as a group; no individual arrangements are needed.]

On the day of recording, everyone stood in the order of the lyrics. Soloists moved forward one step, and after finishing their song, they stepped back into the group.

[The final chorus is repeated twice. The second time, the key is raised, and everyone gives it their all.]
