On the sports field, besides the student athletes preparing fervently for the National University Sports Games.
Ding Yue also noticed students from the Institute of Traditional Chinese Studies.
It’s summer vacation already, but the students from the Institute of Traditional Chinese Studies are still at school practicing National Arts. They are truly diligent and hardworking.
However, Ding Yue didn’t plan to go over and disturb their practice.
As Ding Yue remembered the fear he felt from being dominated by the students of National Arts last time.
These diligent students who practice National Arts will certainly make a contribution to the promotion of National Arts in the future.
Actually, at Mist City Arts and Science University, National Arts is only a part of the Institute of Traditional Chinese Studies. Some traditional crafts are also classified within the Institute of Traditional Chinese Studies.
He wondered about the students at the Institute of Traditional Chinese Studies, aside from those who practice National Arts. Are there any students from other majors who are outstanding?
Ding Yue wouldn’t mind giving them proper support, and then promote the flourishing development of related majors of traditional studies, both in the country and globally.
Traditional crafts and culture of traditional Chinese studies are excellent elements of Xia Country’s cultural soft power, which the country advocates promoting.
Ding Yue’s Mist City Arts and Science University could potentially lend a hand in this aspect.
"Yang Chen, keep practicing, I need to take a call."
Ding Yue saw that the Director of the Art Department, Jiang Xiuli, was calling him. So, he let Yang Chen continue his training while he took the call.
"Hello, Director Jiang."
"Principal Ding, our student Jia Wenbo has finished recording the song ’Immortals’. In addition, Lin Zhirou has also finished recording the songs ’Fragrance of Rice’ and ’Blue and White Porcelain’."
On the phone, Jiang Xiuli gave Ding Yue an update.
During the summer vacation, the Art Department only has two tasks, Lin Zhirou needed to record the song ’Fragrance of Rice’ and it will be released during the vacation.
Next, is the song ’Immortals’ for the promotional theme for the animated movie ’Super Combat Team’ featuring the robot, Big White. The song will be sung by Jia Wenbo, who was personally selected by Ding Yue.
After receiving the two pieces of information, Ding Yue didn’t comment further. He basically hung up and immediately called Xu Jiuge, the person in charge at Feiyue Animation Studio.
"Jiuge, how’s the progress on the trailer for ’Super Combat Team’ that I asked for last time?"
"Almost ready. What’s up Principal Ding? Are you planning on releasing the trailer early?" Xu Jiuge asked curiously.
"Exactly, the theme song ’Immortals’ is already recorded, and I’m thinking of releasing it together with the trailer, what do you think?"
Although the animated movie ’Super Combat Team’ featuring the robot Big White had gained quite a bit of attention, a good trailer could provoke further excitement and maintain it. Surely, a movie needs a trailer.
Ding Yue thought about it, and decided to release the theme song ’Immortals’ together with the trailer since ’Immortals’ was also a promotional song for ’Super Combat Team’ that he had chosen.
In fact, in his previous life on Earth, ’Immortals’ was the theme song and interlude for ’Super Combat Team’.
"I think that’s a great idea. So, Principal Ding, when can we get the audio file of ’Immortals’? We’ll combine it with the trailer as soon as possible." Xu Jiuge asked immediately.
"I will go to the Art Department and get it now. Once I get it, I’ll come over," Ding Yue said and hung up. He then headed straight for the Art Department building.
At the recording studio for the music majors.
Ding Yue met with Director Jiang Xiuli, Lin Zhirou, Jia Wenbo, and several other music teachers.
On seeing Principal Ding, Lin Zhirou asked eagerly, "When will my song ’Fragrance of Rice’ be officially released?"
Ding Yue lifted his hand to halt the conversation about Lin Zhirou’s ’Fragrance of Rice’, but instead turned to Jia Wenbo. He gently patted Jia Wenbo’s shoulder and said, "Good work. Let’s hear how the recording went."
With that said, Ding Yue sat in front of the console. A music teacher played Jia Wenbo’s recorded song ’Immortals’ for Principal Ding to listen to.
The melody was still that familiar melody.
It seemed to transport Ding Yue back to his previous life on Earth.
Following that, Jia Wenbo’s strong voice rang out. He was in great shape throughout the recording. Although this was the final high-quality version after post-processing, Ding Yue could feel Jia Wenbo’s power. He was indeed quite good!
In the future, he could develop into a singer who excels at performing uplifting songs.
The chorus part was almost identical to the original from his previous life on Earth, which took Ding Yue by surprise.
Originally, Ding Yue had chosen Jia Wenbo solely based on their similar styles. He had not expected that after strenuous practice, Jia Wenbo had mastered ’Immortals’ and brought out the original flavor of the song.
Ding Yue praised with delight.
Seeing Principal Ding praising his recording, Jia Wenbo’s heart surged with excitement.
Several minutes later, after listening to ’Immortals’, Ding Yue felt his blood pumping with the rhythm of the music.
After taking off the headphones, Ding Yue looked at Jia Wenbo with a smile. "Good job, your singing is great. I like it. I have a feeling that this ’Immortals’ you sang will be a hit!"
