"His voice quality is unique enough, highly recognizable. Though gentle, it doesn’t lack strength. This is the dream voice of many lyrical or rock male singers; they often only possess one of these traits and cannot have both."
"His musical sense isn’t very strong, but this is his first recording, which means he has talent. With enough training, he could even develop perfect pitch,"
"Ultimately, did he really compose and write this song himself? It’s perfect! I fell in love with it after just one listen, it will definitely become a hit song!"
"Forgive me, Sofia, but I even think this song might be more popular than your movie!"
Anna is a musician, so her saying this is understandable.
But similarly, as a musician who has collaborated with numerous top singers, her words also show her approval of Lu Yang.
"Darling, I’m glad you’re praising our Lu Yang like this, I won’t be upset about it. But he’s not a child, he’s a man, the toughest man in Italy!" Sofia generously forgave her for not being optimistic about her movie, after all, Anna was just a musician, not a filmmaker.
As for how this "toughest in Italy" was determined, let Anna’s imagination run wild?
Having a relationship with a minor boy, Sofia must be breaking the law, right?
After that, they recorded a few more times.
Not because Lu Yang’s performance was bad, but because this is standard practice.
Even the most perfect singer needs to record multiple times to showcase the best aspect of the song on the album.
Even famous superstar Jay records many times when making songs, and likes to layer dozens of tracks to create a unique album feel.
Of course, his live performance is impressive too, he’s not the type to fix everything in post, and this is the real difference between a strong performer and some online celebrities.
When the recording ended, there was still plenty of time, and Sofia proactively invited Anna to have a meal together.
Anna accepted Sofia’s invitation because she was genuinely interested in Lu Yang.
Well, it was a normal kind of interest among musicians.
After all, no woman could shine in front of Sofia.
This is Sofia’s suppression of the same sex, a special "unique ability" belonging solely to Sofia.
Especially when dining in the restaurant, Anna noticed the unusual relationship between Sofia and Lu Yang.
While going to the restroom, Anna slightly looked up information on Sofia and Lu Yang, and a bunch of gossip news popped up.
"My God, Sofia, this is actually your..." Upon returning, Anna looked at Sofia with a face full of smiles.
Sofia smiled shyly but did not deny.
Lu Yang was a bit puzzled; sometimes men’s comprehension of women’s topics is genuinely challenging.
From the looks of things, everything today was wonderful.
But unfortunately...as one of Italy’s well-known recording studios, this area frequently sees a lot of famous musicians.
And being a restaurant that Sofia could choose, with high standards, it naturally might also be chosen by other musicians.
A few people entered the restaurant quite conspicuously.
Why conspicuously? Because one of them, a man wearing sunglasses, directly hugged the hostess at the entrance and wanted to take a photo with her.
Obviously, the hostess didn’t refuse, because this man was a famous male star.
From the perspective of a celebrity’s personal integrity, such behavior would be frowned upon by many in the industry.
After all, celebrities do have some aura, and many ordinary people might not refuse excessive demands from those cloaked in fame. But that doesn’t mean the celebrities who make those demands are without fault.
Even if the law won’t judge them, at least morally, they are condemned.
Even peers dislike those who act superior!
And the sunglasses-wearing male star before them was none other than the Italian bad boy Kubo, who previously tried and failed to ride the wave!
"Oh, this is truly a terrible encounter. He ruined everyone’s good mood for the day, right?" As someone from the music industry, Anna naturally knew about the conflict between Sofia and Kubo.
To be honest, Anna was aware of plenty of dirt on Kubo.
She even had a protégé who once had a fling with Kubo and was bitterly deceived and abandoned.
Thus, although Anna detested Kubo, she was also a bit speechless towards her student who lacked judgment.
Wisdom is a necessity for surviving in society, sometimes more crucial than air.
Without air, you die.
But without wisdom, sometimes you could wish you were dead.
Just as the trio looked at Kubo, Kubo also noticed Sofia’s group.
He chuckled, and instead of backing away, he walked over towards them.
"Yo! My heavens, I can’t believe I ran into the Kiss of Europa here! What an honor... Haha, and Miss Anna, what a fated reunion indeed." Kubo spitefully taunted, "I heard your collaboration with Lil Tiger in the United States flopped, how about it, can’t get by there, so you came back?"
"Shut your filthy mouth, Kubo, are you certain you want to anger me?" Anna glared at Kubo in anger.
Though Kubo appeared arrogant, he didn’t provoke Anna further.
He was concerned Anna might have some solid dirt on him.
After all, he played quite wildly with Anna’s student back then, involving multiple people.
