Chapter 118 The Recording of the Heavenly Child's Voice Begins
Under Xiang Nan's meticulous care, three months passed by like flowing water, and Wanwan's vision recovered well.
Every ray of light that shines into her once dull eyes is like a precious gift that life has given her anew.
Warm sunlight streamed in through the windows, casting a soft golden glow over the office. Song Hui was engrossed in organizing documents at her desk.
Just then, the sudden ringing of a cell phone broke the silence of the room, and Lu Zheng's name flashed on the screen.
"Song Hui, the recording of the first episode of 'Heavenly Voices of Children' will start next weekend. If Wanwan is in good condition, she should practice her stage performance in the next few days."
Lu Zheng's voice came from the other end of the receiver, full of anticipation and excitement for the program's premiere.
"Don't worry, Wanwan is recovering well, and we will do our best to prepare." Song Hui put down the documents in her hand, her voice firm and steady.
Lu Zheng paused, as if considering his words, then smiled and said, "It's like this, we're planning to have the children do a big chorus at the beginning of the show, but we haven't been able to find a suitable song. Your Luo Li is very talented, so we'd like to ask her to compose a song specifically for the children. What do you think?"
After a moment's thought, Song Hui replied softly, "Okay, I'll talk to Luo Li and get back to you as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Song Hui called Xiang Nan and Luo Li to tell them the good news.
Soon, everyone arrived at Song Hui's office. Then they started discussing it animatedly.
Xiang Nan frowned and said, "This is a bit difficult. There are too few songs for the gala. Back in our hometown, she mostly sang to vent her emotions, so there weren't any particularly suitable songs for the competition."
The atmosphere in the office suddenly became somewhat heavy. Sunlight streamed through the window and fell onto the floor, seemingly tinged with worry. Wanwan sat in her chair, nervously clutching the hem of her clothes, feeling a little lost.
She knew this opportunity was hard-won, but she only knew a limited number of songs, and she didn't want to disappoint everyone.
At this moment, Luo Li fell into deep thought, her gaze wandering around the room, and one song after another flashing through her mind.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something. She quickly walked to the table, picked up a pen, and scribbled rapidly on a piece of paper. After finishing, she cleared her throat and began to sing.
Luo Li's singing voice was melodious and graceful, and every note seemed to tell a story.
As the song played, everyone seemed to see Wanwan singing alone in the darkness, and to see her longing for light and beauty.
Xiang Nan's eyes welled up with tears as she recalled the hardships Wanwan had endured and the days she had spent traveling around trying to treat Wanwan's eyes.
Song Hye also silently shed tears; everyone was deeply moved by the song.
As Wanwan listened quietly, warm memories of being with her sister surfaced in her mind, and she recalled the moments when she sang in the dark to give herself strength.
Her lips trembled slightly, and tears welled in her eyes. When Luo Li finished singing, Wanwan stood up excitedly and said loudly, "I want to learn this song. This is the song I want to sing on stage!" Her voice was firm and powerful, full of longing for the stage.
After receiving the song prepared for her performance, Wanwan excitedly dragged Xiang Nan along and rushed to the practice room, eager to familiarize herself with the melody and showcase her singing talent.
After Wanwan left and the office returned to silence, Song Hui finally found a suitable opportunity to tell Luo Li about the "Heavenly Voices" program's invitation to sing.
Upon hearing this, Luo Li lowered her eyes slightly and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.
A moment later, a unique melody appeared in her mind. Luo Li picked up a pen and paper and quickly wrote down the melody and lyrics in her mind.
Before long, a brand new song appeared on the paper. The handwriting was neat and beautiful, and every stroke contained her dedication and love for music.
"Please pass this song on to Director Lu Zheng. Hopefully, it will meet the program team's expectations."
Luo Li spoke softly, handing the paper filled with musical notes to Song Hui, a glimmer of expectation in her eyes. Song Hui took the song and nodded gently.
In the days that followed, Wanwan's singing echoed in the practice room every day. Wanwan arrived at the practice room early every day and diligently practiced every note.
She held the lyrics sheet, her eyes fixed on the words. Although her vision was still a little blurry, her concentration was undiminished.
She followed Luo Li's lead, learning line by line. When she encountered high notes, she practiced them repeatedly until her face turned bright red.
When the song was delivered to the production team, director Lu Zheng and his staff were immediately captivated by its beautiful melody upon listening to it. Their eyes were filled with admiration and surprise, and they immediately decided to use the song as the opening chorus.
Subsequently, the production team acted quickly, gathering the participating children in a spacious and bright practice room.
The children, filled with curiosity and excitement, gazed at their instructor with bright, sparkling eyes. The piano music began, its melodious strains echoing in the room. The instructor patiently taught them to sing each phrase, and the children listened intently, humming along. From initial awkwardness to gradual fluency, from occasional off-key notes to accurate pitch, every small step forward reflected their hard work and dedication.
For the past two days, the practice room has been filled with singing. The children repeated each lyric and melody over and over again, and even when their voices became hoarse, they never complained.
During breaks, they would exchange singing tips and encourage each other.
Whenever he has time, Director Lu Zheng comes to watch the rehearsals, and he is always delighted to see the children's growth and transformation.
Watching their increasingly harmonious teamwork and their ever-more synchronized and infectious singing, Director Lu Zheng couldn't hide his joy. He couldn't help but secretly believe that this song, performed by the children's pure voices, would surely become a highly representative classic of the program "Heavenly Voices," opening the program with a stunning prelude, leaving a deep and beautiful impression on the audience, and allowing the program to radiate its unique charm from the very beginning.
Soon, the day for recording the first episode of "Heavenly Children's Voices" arrived.
The recording venue was beautifully decorated, with colorful lights reflecting off each other, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
The stage was decorated with various exquisite props, and the microphone stand was surrounded by flowers, as if welcoming the young singers who were about to arrive.
Backstage, parents and children came and went, some nervously preparing, others encouraging each other.
To ensure the fairness and impartiality of the competition, the production team adopted a novel approach combining live streaming and pre-recorded broadcasts.
High-definition cameras were installed in every corner of the recording site, like a pair of keen eyes, capturing every wonderful moment.
The staff were busy backstage, adjusting equipment and checking procedures to ensure everything went perfectly.
When Wanwan, Song Hui, Luo Li, and others arrived at the scene, they were shocked by what they saw.
Wanwan held Xiang Nan's hand tightly, her palms slightly sweaty, and she looked around nervously.
"Wanwan, don't be nervous. Just sing like you usually practice. You're the best!" Song Hui comforted her gently, patting Wanwan's shoulder lightly.
Luo Li tidied Wanwan's hair and clothes, and said with a smile, "Wanwan, you look as beautiful as a little princess today. The stage is yours, sing to your heart's content!"
