Entertainment King:I Can Extract Skills from the Movies

The atmosphere in the private room was great. Zhao Jian, feeling the mood, took the initiative to sing Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies.

Although his singing skills weren't particularly outstanding, compared to Ma Yaowei, the difference was like night and day.

After Zhao Jian finished, he passed the microphone to Yuan Bin.

Yuan Bin waved his hand, indicating he wouldn't sing. The microphone was then passed to Liu Tao and Wang Yi.

Having witnessed Ma Yaowei's earlier "performance," neither of them wanted to make fools of themselves, so they both politely declined with a smile.

In the end, the microphone somehow made its way back to Ma Yaowei.

Without hesitation, Ma Yaowei stood up and resumed his off-key howling, losing all sense of rhythm or pitch.

That sharp, grating voice was more torturous than anything else.

"Let Ah Sheng sing! You stop!"

Ju Jueliang couldn't take it anymore and gestured for Du Sheng to replace Ma Yaowei.

Tonight was supposed to be about having fun, not enduring a musical assault. If they didn't let someone competent sing, they might have to cleanse their ears when they got home.

"Alright, I'll give it a try. Here's a classic by Alan Tam, Friend, for everyone."

Du Sheng accepted the microphone and smiled as he made a brief introduction.

Though not everyone here was from Hong Kong, the group had connections across Greater China, so Du Sheng chose a well-loved classic to fit the occasion.

"Stars flowing, walking this road with you, strangers at first, now our hearts draw near, quietly treating each other with sincerity... Life is but a dream, and friends are like mist..."

As soon as he started singing, everyone looked up in astonishment.

"Wow, Ah Sheng's got it! He's almost as good as me!"

Even the previously overzealous Ma Yaowei was stunned into silence, turning his head in surprise at the smooth, heartfelt voice.

Wang Yi rolled her eyes. If you were even half as good as Du Sheng, people wouldn't be fleeing the room.

That said, she had to admit that her "young master" was indeed talented.

His voice was rich with emotion, each lyric sung with genuine feeling, perfectly capturing the theme of friendship.

He had both the technical skill and emotional depth, almost moving people to tears.

With such talent, he wouldn't just excel as a bar singer—he could even consider releasing songs professionally with some polish.

Ju Jueliang, Yuan Bin, Zhao Jian, and the others listened quietly, lost in thought as the song stirred memories of days gone by.

They hadn't expected Du Sheng's Cantonese to be so fluent, with impeccable pronunciation and enunciation.

Though the lyrics of Friend were simple and the melody wasn't overly complex, Du Sheng sang it with such warmth and sincerity that it left a lasting impression.

Liu Tao stared at Du Sheng's focused, singing figure, completely mesmerized.

A strange emotion welled up in her heart.

Although she hadn't known Du Sheng for long, his talent and knack for socializing convinced her that it wouldn't be long before he made a name for himself.

Her mind drifted to something Wang Yi had once said: Dating someone outside the industry brings more harm than good. Unless he's a wealthy benefactor willing to invest generously, you're better off finding someone within the circle who can help you advance.

Du Sheng was unaware of everyone's thoughts. After finishing Friend, the crowd began clamoring for another song.

With a little smirk, he rummaged through his bag and took out a new demo song he had registered recently.

"The next song carries some meaning. Give it a listen."

Closing his eyes, Du Sheng immersed himself in the mood.

"Amidst the chaos, love once took root. Admiring the heroic spirit in this world, with martial arts like a wandering dragon, ambitions and fame quietly hidden in the heart..."

"Huh!?"

Du Sheng had only just begun when Zhao Jian suddenly exclaimed, "This melody is so grand and magnificent. Is it a new release by some singer?"

Yuan Bin glanced at Du Sheng, who was singing intently, and teased, "This guy's a singer trapped in an actor's career!"

Even though it was their first time hearing the song, the crowd couldn't help but be drawn in by its stirring melody and Du Sheng's exceptional delivery.

His unique voice conveyed both the heroism of a martial artist and the tenderness of human emotions, pulling everyone into the story woven by the music.

"Don't you think this song fits perfectly with our show?"

Wang Yi and Liu Tao, being more detail-oriented, immediately picked up on a deeper connection.

Liu Tao was particularly moved and exclaimed, "The lyrics… they subtly reflect the destinies of Qiao Feng, Duan Yu, Xu Zhu, and Murong Fu, don't they?"

Everyone froze, listening more closely.

She was right.

In just a few lines, the lyrics encapsulated the core personalities of the main characters in their series.

The bustling world, the myriad of human faces—it all came vividly to life.

Qiao Feng's righteousness, Duan Yu's romantic entanglements, Xu Zhu's journey through the secular world, and Murong Fu's relentless ambition…

It was almost unbelievable.

Could this song have been written by Du Sheng himself? Otherwise, how could it match their show so perfectly?

Clap clap clap!

As the song ended, applause erupted spontaneously, filling the room with enthusiasm.

Although no one voiced their praise directly, the applause spoke volumes.

Music truly has the power to touch the deepest parts of the human soul, and at that moment, everyone was moved by the song.

Liu Tao gazed at Du Sheng intently, unable to hide her excitement. "Ah Sheng, what's the name of this song?"

"Difficult Scripture."

Du Sheng's expression remained calm.

Liu Tao repeated the name to herself, savoring its meaning. "What a name. Truly fitting!"

"Did you really compose this song yourself?"

Even the usually proud Wang Yi couldn't resist asking, her voice tinged with both curiosity and disbelief.

The song's melody and lyrics were exceptional, yet entirely unfamiliar.

As an avid music fan, Wang Yi was confident she'd never heard it before. If it had been performed publicly, she wouldn't have missed it.

This meant it had to be a new song.

But was it really Du Sheng's original work?

The way the lyrics perfectly encapsulated the themes of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils made it seem too coincidental.

Could someone else have written it, and Du Sheng just happened to find it?

But if Du Sheng had such connections, how could he still be struggling as a nobody?

"You could say that."

Du Sheng's tone was nonchalant.

At that moment, even a moment's hesitation would've been disrespectful to other transmigrators.

He had already verified that the song didn't exist in the current music database.

In fact, the Mandarin version of the song wouldn't appear until years later, as part of a mobile game adaptation of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

For now, his claim stood unchallenged.

As for why he hadn't made a name for himself earlier—well, that was a long story, one best shared over a long conversation.

---

"Wow, incredible!"

Though everyone had suspected it, hearing Du Sheng confirm it still left them amazed.

Ma Yaowei gave him a thumbs-up, fully acknowledging his defeat.

"This song is 100% tailor-made for Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils."

Ju Jueliang sighed wistfully. "It's a pity you're not a famous singer; otherwise, this song might actually be used."

Even if Producer Zhang liked it, there was little chance it would become the theme song.

At best, it might make it to the end credits, but e

ven that was unlikely.

Ju Jueliang understood Zhang Dahuzi's money-driven nature too well—he'd rather sell the rights to the highest bidder than give them away for free.
