Chapter 29 Remember This Feeling
Tang Menglong's home.
"Oppa, I'm afraid I won't be able to produce the effect you want, what should I do?" Li Zhi'en said with a bit of frustration while hugging his guitar. The two had practiced for an entire afternoon, but it seemed like there wasn't much improvement.
Tang Menglong sat opposite her, looking at her... but his eyes were evilly glancing at Li Zhen's two small feet.
"Hey, uncle! Can you hear me?"
Tang Menglong quickly regained his composure and said seriously, "Of course I'm listening, it's okay, isn't this just the first day of practice? The Unlimited Challenge program team has already informed me that last week's special episode will be broadcast this week, and then next week we'll start preparing for the Song Festival. After post-production is done, it will take at least two or three weeks to air, so by the time I go on Popular Song Festival, it will probably be a month later, no need to worry about it!"
This is called the emperor is not anxious, the eunuch is anxious. Tang Menglong didn't have a single worry, but Li Zhi'en, who came to help, became nervous. It wasn't because of himself, but because after hearing about SBS's security department from Tang Menglong, he felt some sympathy for those uncles, so he didn't want to affect his European uncle either.
"Oppa, I..."
Looking at Li Zhi En's somewhat wanting to give up appearance, Tang Meng Long originally wanted to scold her a couple of sentences, but thinking that she is now his own sister, he thought for a moment and said softly: "Zhi En ah, you're a trainee right?"
Li Zhen raised his head and nodded, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Tang Menglong continued: "I heard that the life of a trainee is very bitter, besides high-intensity practice, they also have to take care of their studies, it must be very hard, right?"
Li Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, some of the company's seniors are working hard in training. I'm a bit better off, as most of my time is spent learning vocal techniques and music theory, rather than practicing dance."
Tang Menglong nodded and said, "In fact, in these Korean entertainment companies, there are many people who have been training for many years but can't debut. They spend their beautiful youth in dull and boring training, but in the end, many people have to take a path that is completely opposite to their dreams. Has Zhien's friend ever left the company?"
When Li Zhi'en heard Tang Menglong's words, he fell silent, as if thinking of something unpleasant, and nodded slightly with a hint of sadness.
"Don't you have anything to say?" Tang Menglong slowly guided.
"What did you say?" Li Zhi'en asked somewhat dully.
Tang Menglong smiled slightly and said, "Bless them, pray for them, no matter where they are, whether they have left or are still working hard, whether they have given up on their dreams or are striving for their dreams. When playing the piano, think of them, just like that, pouring your emotions in, you can reach the state you want, and play out the emotions you want to convey! Because when you play with a true heart, others will always hear your true heart!"
Dull Li Zhen's eyes, lacking in confidence, slowly lit up, as if he had thought of something, and a thin layer of mist appeared in his eyes.
Taking a deep breath, Li Zhen plucked the strings again, looking no different from before, still playing very softly. However, what Tang Menglong heard was somewhat different - the guitar sound became more emotional and the tone fuller and rounder.
After a moment, Lee Ji-eun put down her guitar with some excitement and said in disbelief, "Oppa, I think I did it!"
"It's so fast!" Tang Menglong smiled and said, striking a chord, "Remember this feeling, go back and practice more. In fact, things like musical instruments are not just about having talent and practicing a lot. Different people playing the same song will always produce different feelings, that's because the person playing is different, their mood is different, it's the same principle as singing. If you can master that feeling, you'll definitely be able to play this song well. Also, don't forget about synchronizing the lyrics translation!"
"Ah! I remembered, Oppa! You're really amazing, it's great to know you!" Ji-eun Lee put down the guitar and took a deep breath before continuing with some excitement.
Looking at Li Zhen's squinting eyes happily looking at himself, Tang Menglong replied with a weird tone: "Zhen, if you look at your uncle like that, your uncle will be shy!"
"Ugh!"
"Oppa, don't be weird, okay?!" Li Zhen now really understood this cheap brother a bit, although this understanding wasn't about understanding all of him, but his personality of loving to be weird was clear.
Tang Menglong smiled and stood up, saying: "Alright, let's go. I'll send you down. Was that a call from your family just now?"
Li Zhen nodded and put his feet back on the floor, turned around and picked up his guitar and sheet music.
As for Tang Menglong, he didn't help but instead used his gaze to satisfy his evil heart.
After a while, the two of them left Tang Menglong's house together.
Two people came downstairs and slowly walked towards the gate of the community. Tang Menglong reminded him, "Zhi En, if you have any questions in the future, call Brother Ou. If you want to eat something delicious, also call Brother Ou. As for practicing singing, don't worry about it for now. Wait a few days and Brother Ou will notify you. You can find time to practice by yourself, mainly to grasp that feeling!"
Li Zhi'en happily nodded, for her today was really too lucky, she got to know a brother who sang so well, and could also teach her to play the instrument, and the two of them even became sworn siblings, it was really too exciting.
However, the only regret is that Li Zhen learned that Eoba was originally an orphan, and immediately felt that he should accompany Eoba more in the future.
The two walked to the street in front of the door, and Tang Menglong suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Li Zhi'en. In Li Zhi'en's puzzled eyes, Tang Menglong took out a blue corded crystal pendant from his pocket.
The pendant is a small blue lion, which looks quite majestic and also somewhat cute, and the exterior looks crystal clear and very beautiful.
"Oppa, although you look a bit unreliable, but you're not someone who speaks carelessly. From now on, I'll be your older brother! Oppa is your sky and earth, if there's anything that makes you unhappy, come find oppa! This little lion, I'll give it to you as a gift!"
Lee Ji-eun was touched, but shook her head and said, "Oppa, this is too precious!"
Tang Menglong didn't care about her, and somewhat domineeringly put a pendant on her, smiling: "Then let's just say it's helping Obba out, Obba gave you a reward, besides, we're becoming sworn siblings today, as an older brother of course I have to give my younger sister a gift! It's only right!"
Li Zhen stretched out his left hand, holding the pendant, and looked at the little lion with a slightly red face. At this moment, he truly felt Tang Menglong's seriousness, but said somewhat embarrassedly: "But, Zhen doesn't have any gift to give to Eoba!"
Tang Menglong's face suddenly turned somewhat lewd as he said: "Then let's give Ouba a kiss!"
"Oppa, you're so bad!" Li Zhi En said as she hastily ran towards the taxi that had stopped in the back. This made Tang Meng Long feel hurt, so he loudly shouted: "Zhi En ah, consider this gift a loan for now!"
Li Zhen turned around, blushed and stuck out her tongue, then got into a taxi.
