Luke glanced at the basic vocal and basic instrumental skills from a certain "Lion Roar" girl in the ability list and remained extremely calm.
He had already learned the ability worth only 200 points.
After a light cough, he said seriously: "My dream was to be a singer!"
Claire and Selena both had a "Wang Defa" expression on their faces.
In fact, Luke had many similar dreams in his previous life, from being a scientist when he was a child to becoming a wealthy man later. He changed his goals very frequently, so none of them were realized before he traveled through time.
"Listen to this." He began: "it starts with ohing, I don't know why..."
Claire, who has lived with Luke for more than ten years, never thought that someone could sing, and sing well.
Selena was a little calmer. She had heard him sing occasionally recently. Although his style was not this, he sang well.
Claire, who has always been interested in music, couldn't help but ask, "How come I've never heard of this song of yours?"
Luke: “…I made it myself.”
I got it from my memories of my previous life, he added silently in his heart.
Claire, Selena: ⊙o⊙!
Claire continued to ask: "Where can you sing rock and roll like this and also rap?"
Luke: "It's a personal style, so I don't really appreciate your... uh, agricultural heavy metal?"
Claire: "Huh? That's heavy metal, okay? What agricultural heavy metal? Why haven't I heard of this kind of rock music?"
Luke: "...Okay, maybe I remembered it wrong, but the meaning is right. So it's not that I can't sing, I just don't sing very often."
In fact, the rock songs from his previous life that remained in his memory were all masterpieces, and the ordinary ones had long been forgotten.
It was of course unfair for him to compare this top song by a top rock singer (band) with the top rock songs that Claire had listened to.
The short piece he sang just now was really good, and it spanned both rap and rock styles.
Although Claire had never heard it, she thought it sounded good and couldn't refute what he said.
For a moment she was distracted by this incident and curiously asked him about the full content of the song.
It was Selina who reminded her: "Hey, didn't you want Luke to help you just now?"
Claire slapped her forehead and said, "I want to meet Sheila and hear her talk about Batman in person."
Luke scratched his head: "She seems to be a little busy recently..."
But seeing the eager look in the little monkey's eyes, he still said, "I'll call and ask."
Silla's call was quickly connected, and the two exchanged a few words without much politeness. Luke hung up the phone and said, "She is preparing a charity performance for the earthquake, and she rarely goes home."
Claire let out a disappointed "oh" and said nothing more.
Luke looked at the listless little monkey and thought, "You seem to be able to sing well?"
Claire: "You know, I played in a band with a few guys at school and learned some basic vocal skills, but I'm not a professional."
Luke rubbed his chin and said, "Can you sing a few lines for me?"
Claire: “Huh?”
…
In the evening, Luke went out alone, drove to a hotel, made a phone call in the waiting area, and then sat down.
More than ten minutes later, a woman in a baseball cap, sunglasses, T-shirt and shorts came over and sat opposite him: "Luke, long time no see."
Luke smiled and said, "Sheila, I'm sorry to bother you so late. But I have something and I want to ask your advice."
Most of the people who go out late at night in Los Angeles wearing sunglasses and baseball caps are celebrities.
Sheila is, of course, a big star.
After hearing what Luke said, although she was very tired, she also became a little interested.
Luke seldom contacted her directly, at most sending her congratulatory text messages on holidays.
She still owed Luke a favor, so she agreed to meet him as soon as she received his call.
Hearing this, she nodded happily: "No problem."
"You can actually add some publicity to this charity performance..." Luke briefly explained his idea, and Sheila's expression became formal.
After a little consideration, she felt that this plan was highly feasible.
These days she had been thinking about the charity performance itself, but Luke's idea was to promote the charity performance in advance so that more people would know about it.
In terms of operational difficulty, it is not too great and can be completed as a rehearsal for a charity performance.
"What about songs?" She raised the biggest question: "Where can I find suitable new songs?"
This pre-promotion requires a new song that not only fits the theme of the charity performance but is also suitable for multiple people to sing.
Luke smiled and took out a piece of paper: "I asked someone to make a song, you can take a look first."
Sheila was surprised: "You, asked someone to do it?" As she said that, she picked up the song's simple score, looked at it for a few seconds, and couldn't help humming it softly.
Luke waited for a few minutes, and seeing that she was still thinking about how to sing the song, he couldn't help but knock on the table: "Silla, don't worry about this for now."
Silla came back to her senses and looked up at him: "Ah, what?"
Luke: "You can take the song back and read it slowly. As long as it is used for charity performance, you don't need to pay any fees. The decision of whether to use it is in your hands."
Silla looked at him in surprise, thought for a moment, and suddenly laughed: “If you have something to say, you can tell me directly.”
Luke chuckled: "I have a sister, she is curious about your new song and Batman, but you are busy recently..."
Silla raised her hand: “I can take some time to talk to her. There’s no need for us to be so polite.”
Luke: "The charity performance is a serious matter. Her curiosity is not the same thing as mine. So I want her to be the charity performance assistant for a while. You can chat with her when you have time, but don't treat her specially. Just treat her the same as other volunteers."
Silla naturally understood that he didn't ask his sister to chase stars.
Claire came to volunteer, doing good deeds and gaining social practice, killing two birds with one stone. Chatting with Sheila was just a side benefit.
She nodded readily: "That's no problem. Charity performances need a lot of volunteers anyway."
Luke smiled and said, "Don't underestimate my sister. She is an outstanding student in the police academy. She has been on the job internship in Los Angeles a few days ago."
Silla also laughed: "It's a family tradition."
Luke took out a business card and handed it to her: "The author of this song has entrusted the relevant legal affairs to this law firm. If the charity performance uses it, there will be no additional conditions. I will not get involved."
The two men stood up and shook hands.
Luke was about to let go of her hand after a slight squeeze, and Sheila noticed this and suddenly became playful.
She put force on her hands, leaned over to embrace him, and gave him a slightly intimate kiss on the cheek to say goodbye: "Since we are friends, don't be so reserved. This is not a business meeting."
