Perfect Superstar Chapter 153

Chapter 153 – Qin Qing

At the entrance of Yuming Tea Garden.

Chen Jianhao patted Lu Chen on the shoulder and said with a sigh, “I really can’t see through you more and more.”

Lu Chen said with a wry smile, “Brother Jianhao, in fact, this is who I am. I haven’t become another person.”

Chen Jianhao smiled and shook his head.

He knew that Lu Chen was modest and courteous outside, but in fact, he was very proud in his heart.

Even when Lu Chen was a waiter in Forgot Worries Bar, his pride had always been hidden in his bones, and never been wear away by life. He had been working very hard and struggling silently.

Until now, Lu Chen has shown his amazing talent, and the pride that has long been seep into his bone and blood has naturally emerged.

But this kind of pride is not superficial arrogance, but strong self-confidence.

It was this self-confidence that made Lu Chen dare to show his works in front of Zhang Wentian.

What Chen Jianhao couldn’t see through was Lu Chen’s secret.

Too deep!

In Chen Jianhao’s opinion, this song “A Man Should Strengthen Himself” is even better than Lu Chen’s previous works such as “in Spring”, “Chasing Dream With A Childlike Heart,” and “You Who Sat Next To Me” and so on!

After thinking about it, he seriously reminded him, “Little Lu, about you creating the theme song for Director Zhang’s new film, as well as the matter of filming, remember to keep it a secret first, and don’t take the initiative to publicize it.”

“Director Zhang doesn’t like to make things known to the whole world when things are not settled, and he doesn’t like others to use him for hype.”

A newcomer like Lu Chen has established a relationship with Zhang Wentian. As long as he is willing, even if it is a small thing, he can stir up a lot of gossip.

To Lu Chen, this is no trivial matter.

Fortunately, he is an independent artist. Otherwise once the signing company finds out, it will definitely make a big deal about it.

Chen Jianhao knows that the current entertainment industry is inseparable from hype, but he hopes that Lu Chen will not covet the small profits in front of him, and will take a long-term view. It is important to have a good relationship with Zhang Wentian.

With the support of this great director, it will be much easier for Lu Chen to enter the film and television industry in the future!

Lu Chen said with a smile: “I understand. Brother Jianhao, you can rest assured!”

He knew that Chen Jianhao was really sincere and good to him.

Seeing Lu Chen understood everything right away, Chen Jianhao said happily, “You can’t say it now, but you are free to do so when the film is finished.”

According to the custom of the film and television industry, when the film production is completed or is about to be completed, it is the beginning of large-scale publicity and hype. At that time, Lu Chen will have no problem using other’s help, and perhaps investors will also be happy to see him succeed.

He suddenly changed the topic of their conversation: “What do you think of that girl Qin Qing?”

“Uh…”

Lu Chen was stupefied and didn’t know how to answer.

Boss, I’m not familiar with her at all!

Chen Jianhao’s eyes flashed a happy look and said half-jokingly, “You still don’t have a girlfriend, right? If you don’t plan to be a pure idol, you should find one. Don’t miss a good girl when you meet one.”

Falling in love in the entertainment industry is a very complicated issue, if one takes the idol route, one has to take the covert route if one wants to talk. Otherwise, once exposed, it is very likely to lead to a sharp drop in popularity, or even be abandoned by the company.

For those who has achieved a certain degree of achievement, fans will be much more tolerant, especially male singers, and their acceptance will be relatively high.

Lu Chen’s appearance is more than enough to be an idol, but he obviously has no intention of buying face. (TN: Buying face refers to a person who has a strong vanity and spends money to preserve his face.)

His identity as the champion of “Singing China” makes him someone who has certain degree of achievement, which allow him to rise in fame and accomplished things with ease!

Therefore, although Chen Jianhao certainly meant it as a joke, what he said is not wrong.

Lu Chen smiled wryly: “I have no plans to find a girlfriend now.”

It’s hard to fall in love seriously. He doesn’t have the time and energy right now.

If he doesn’t take it seriously, and just have the thought of having fun…

Well, his sister will kill him!

Chen Jianhao said with a smile, “What I want to say is that Qin Qing is really good. Since you will be attending classes at Jingyin, try to see if you can be friends with her. Don’t live like us at your age.” (TN: Beijing Conservatory of Music is also called Jingyin.)

“Ahem!”

His voice had just fallen when a soft cough came from behind them.

Chen Jianhao and Lu Chen couldn’t help turning their heads and saw Qin Qing standing a few steps away.

She had a look of indifferent and her eyes were cold.

This Jingyin female student has just changed into a plain and elegant dress, and still has long hair shawl hairstyle, and her temperament became quieter.

Although Chen Jianhao has a very thick face, he can’t help feeling embarrassed.

He just laughed it off and said hurriedly, “Qin Qing is here, then you can go.”

With that, he directly put oil on the soles of his feet and left Lu Chen to face this very special girl alone. (TN: Put oil on the soles – escape quickly or slipped away.)

Qin Qing wasn’t embarrassed and angry, but there was more indifference between her eyebrows that repels people thousands of miles away.

She said faintly, “Let’s go.”

Lu Chen originally wanted to explain a few words, but when he saw the other party’s expression, he didn’t say more: “Okay.”

After getting in the car, Lu Chen took Qin Qing to Beijing Conservatory of Music.

Qin Qing was sitting in the copilot’s seat. On the way, she suddenly said, “Uncle Chen was joking just now. Don’t worry about it.”

Lu Chen smiled and said, “I know, you can rest assured.”

He is not a fool. How can he not hear the meaning of the other party’s words!

Qin Qing was telling Lu Chen that there was no possibility between them, and he should not have any unnecessary thoughts.

The problem was that Lu Chen didn’t have any thoughts towards her at all.

This girl who plays the zither very well is very beautiful. To be exact, Lu Chen has never seen a girl who is more beautiful than her, and her temperament is better than her appearance. It was not too much to say that she is a goddess.

Qin Qing’s family background should be very good. It could be seen from the attitude of the two professors and Zhang Wentian towards her that she is either a wealthy and respectable person or not an ordinary figure.

Such a girl must have countless pursuers, reserved and proud.

But what does this have to do with him?

People in two different worlds may meet because of various coincidences, but in the end, they will gradually drift apart.

Qin Qing said, “Un”.

Lu Chen was a little speechless. Listening to her tone, it was as if she didn’t believe him.

So, he said bluntly, “I don’t intend to fall in love for a few years, so you can rest assured!” (TN: fall in love can also mean go on dating.)

Qin Qing tilted her head and said, “Are you angry? Or Are you saying this on purpose, trying to arouse my interest?”

Lu Chen sighed and gently turned the steering wheel to stop the car steadily on the side of the road.

Qin Qing looked at him without the slightest change in her expression.

Lu Chen calmly looked straight into her eyes and said sincerely, “Sister Qin Qing, first of all, I am not angry.”

“I’m not trying to attract you with these words. We just met. You don’t know me. I can understand.”

“I’m going to Jingyin just to attend lectures and study. I’m grateful that you are accompanying me to get a permit. If this makes you misunderstand, then I’m sorry. I’ll send you to school first, and then I’ll handle it myself.”

After listening, Qin Qing nodded and said, “I believe you.”

Lu Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Thank you.”

Qin Qing said: “Since I promised Professor Gao, I will certainly accompany you to the Academic Affairs Office. Let’s go.”

Lu Chen returned to the road speechless.

He didn’t notice the slight smile on the corner of the girl’s lips.

After spending more than 10 minutes on the road, without running into traffic jams, the two smoothly arrived in Jingyin.

Jingyin is also known as Beijing Conservatory of Music. Together with the Central Conservatory of Music and the Northern Conservatory of Music, they are called the three major conservatory.

It was founded in 1980 and has 35 years of history so far. Although it is not as old as Zhongyin, it has also produced a large number of talents in recent decades. Many famous composers, pianists and singers have emerged from it. It has a respectable reputation at home and even around the world. (TN: Zhongyin is Central Conservatory of Music.)

The Conservatory of Music is located on the bank of Beihai, adjacent to the famous Beihai Park. It has an excellent geographical location.

The area of Jingyin is very small, and its scale is not even comparable to that of several middle schools in Beijing, and the total number of teachers and students in the school adds up to only more than 2,000, which is simply not comparable to the school with thousands of students in the University City.

Lu Chen has never been to Jingyin before, but this higher music school has been famous for a long time.

It is said that every year there are tens of thousands of students who come to Beijing to apply for Jingyin. Most of them have been trained since childhood. They are proficient in such aspects as piano, violin, national musical instruments and so on, and can crush a guy like Lu Chen into slag.

However, most of these arrogant children will be mercilessly eliminated in the process of applying for Jingyin. Many of the candidates’ family has spent a lot of money on training them, then after arriving in Beijing, they spend a lot of money to ask the teachers in universities for guidance, only to be told that there was no hope of getting in.

Therefore, those who can be admitted to Jingyin are not ordinary people. Genius is a common pronoun among them.

Even a permit to attend lectures is not easy to come by.

The environment inside Jingyin is very good. The campus is lined with trees, several buildings are hidden in the woods, and there was a lake in the middle. The surface of the lake ripples and the fresh breeze blows gently.

As the school year has not yet begun, there were few students in Jingyin.

Lu Chen didn’t have a pass for Jingyin, but Qin Qing came out and said a few words to the guard and was allowed to pass. Under her guidance, he drove directly below an office building.

After getting off the car, Qin Qing led Lu Chen to the Academic Affairs Office on the third floor.

There was someone in the Academic Affairs Office, but Director Lu, whom Lu Chen was looking for, was not there.

Fortunately, there was a Deputy Director Chen on duty. After explaining the purpose of his visit, he readily gave Lu Chen a permit.

The permit is valid for one year and will become invalid after that.

With a permit in hand, Lu Chen can free to enter and leave Jingyin and listen to the lectures of any professor and teacher.

He can also eat in the cafeteria of Jingyin.

Deputy Director Chen sent a class schedule to Lu Chen, which made Lu Chen very grateful.

After obtaining the permit, they went downstairs.

Lu Chen said to Qin Qing, “Thank you very much for this time, then I’ll go first.”

Qin nodded: “Goodbye.”

When the car came out and headed for the entrance, Lu Chen subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror.

The girl has already disappeared.

TN: There is a minor mistake in the previous chapters where “Beijing Conservatory of Music” is mentioned. I have been using “Beijing Conservator of Music” in the previous chapter instead of “Jingyin”, because I found out, during the first time I encountered it, that “Jingyin” means “Beijing Conservatory of Music” and I thought that was the proper English translation of it. In the previous chapters, most of the “Beijing Conservatory of Music”, I should have been using “Jingyin”.

TN: If you see any mistakes or you didn’t understand some parts in the chapter, please write it on the comment area. I will immediately address it. Thank you!
