Zhang Jingdong this ti had a justified reason to hold Le Yun’s hand, naturally, he wouldn’t easily let it go.
And Le Yun had already sensed this might happen, yet she seed to want to "reward" Zhang Jingdong for helping her fulfill her dream. Though her face showed a bit of embarrassnt, she surprisingly didn’t rush to pull her hand back.
Seeing this, Zhang Jingdong held her hand for nearly a full minute.
At this point, Le Yun finally couldn’t hold it any longer and started to try to free her hand.
Zhang Jingdong intentionally refused to let go just to tease her.
Le Yun gave him a light sideways glance.
"You... let go of !"
Zhang Jingdong suddenly put on a mysterious look: "Haven’t you heard about the superstition concerning handshakes?"
Le Yun was montarily confused.
"What superstition?"
Zhang Jingdong said seriously: "When two people just confirm a collaboration, they must shake hands for three full minutes, this way their cooperation will be very pleasant and last long."
"Really?" Le Yun couldn’t help but frown slightly: "But why have I never heard about this before?"
Zhang Jingdong shrugged: "You weren’t in the entertainnt industry before, so naturally you haven’t heard about this. But haven’t you heard gossip about people like Leslie Cheung, Liu Dehua, Wang Fei, and Liang Chaowei believing in the White Dragon King?"
Le Yun nodded: "That I’ve heard."
Zhang Jingdong continued: "Because being a celebrity is a very special profession, after all, being known and even liked by millions is incredibly rare, they’re considered one in a million, so they surely have so special beliefs."
Le Yun thoughtfully nodded: "... Alright."
Then she suddenly realized Zhang Jingdong still hadn’t let go of her hand, and imdiately said: "But this seems to have nothing to do with shaking hands for three minutes, right?"
Zhang Jingdong sighed: "When you learn singing, you don’t start directly with singing, right? You first have to learn breath control and pitch, right? Similarly, this handshake superstition is the sa, you first start with the handshake, and then you can gradually learn all the other rituals."
"Even though this might sound a bit superstitious, there are things you just have to believe might exist rather than not, understand?"
Although Le Yun still couldn’t fully agree, she nodded anyway.
Zhang Jingdong suddenly squeezed Le Yun’s hand, and before she could get angry, he seriously asked: "Have you ever learned piano?"
Le Yun shook her head: "No."
"Guitar?"
Le Yun shook her head again: "No."
"How about a ukulele?"
Le Yun still shook her head: "No."
At this point, she felt a bit uneasy, completely forgetting to worry about Zhang Jingdong playing with her hand.
"You’ve never learned any instrunts?"
Le Yun nodded a bit embarrassed: "... Yeah."
Zhang Jingdong couldn’t help but look surprised: "So how did you ensure your pitch when learning to sing?"
Le Yun blinked her pretty eyes: "When I learn a song, I usually listen to it a dozen tis first, then I start practicing singing, and I record myself, then I compare it with the original to constantly correct where I’m off."
"How long does it usually take you to learn a song?"
"A day or two."
Zhang Jingdong imdiately praised: "That’s really impressive!"
Le Yun thought Zhang Jingdong was being sarcastic, and hurriedly waved her hand: "Stop laughing at !"
Zhang Jingdong continued: "I’m really not laughing at you, the fact that you haven’t learned any instrunts and yet can learn songs so quickly and sing them so well shows that you have a natural talent for this!"
"If in the future you learn piano or other instrunts, you totally have the potential to beco a top-tier singer!"
Seeing Zhang Jingdong was not joking, Le Yun earnestly replied: "Alright, I will definitely learn an instrunt seriously."
Zhang Jingdong nodded in satisfaction, then said: "Okay, now I want to see your potential in other areas. Besides the sentintal songs just now, can you sing English songs?"
Le Yun instantly regained her previous confidence: "Yes."
"Do you know ’Moonlight Shadow’?"
"Yes."
"Then let’s go with this one."
"Okay."
Le Yun took the microphone and went to the song station to select a song.
After a short while, following the prelude, she began her performance:
The last that ever she saw him
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
He passed on worried and warning
...
Just listening to the beginning, Zhang Jingdong was sure that Le Yun could also hit the international stage, and her style was different from Xiao Fei’s.
If Xiao Fei’s template was Avril, then Le Yun’s template was Celine Dion.
Once Le Yun finished singing, Zhang Jingdong clapped his hands: "Nice, besides English songs, can you sing rock songs?"
Le Yun paused for a mont, then said: "I’m not very good at that, but I can try."
Zhang Jingdong noticed her lack of confidence, so he said: "Don’t feel pressured, just sing casually, I just want to see if you have potential in this area."
Le Yun nodded and went to the song station to select Cui Jian’s ’Flower Room Girl’.
Soon, after the prelude, she started to sing:
I walked past you alone with nothing to say
I dared not raise my eyes to look at your... face
You asked where I was going, I pointed towards the sea
Your amazent seed like a... complint to
...
After Le Yun finished singing this song, Zhang Jingdong asked directly: "Have you tried singing and dancing at the sa ti?"
Le Yun quickly waved her hand: "I... I can’t dance."
Zhang Jingdong instantly felt amused, but outwardly he pretended to be surprised: "You can’t dance, not at all?"
Le Yun bit her lip, then nodded: "Yeah, I... I couldn’t even do broadcast gymnastics well at school, so I never learned to dance."
