Lin Zaishan was extremely embarrassed, giving Zhang Pengfei behind the glass a dry smile as an apology.

Zhang Pengfei found this uncle's attitude unusually gentle, completely different from what the media described. It seemed this uncle had gone through a lot in recent years, wearing down all his sharp edges.

Holding the microphone close to his mouth, Zhang Pengfei kindly comforted Lin Zaishan, "It's okay, Uncle Lin. Do you want to drink some water before we record again?"

Bai Ge was about to bring water for Lin Zaishan.

Shaking his hand, Lin Zaishan told the people outside, "No need, just go ahead. Thank you for your hard work."

"Alright. Let's do it again."

Zhang Pengfei recorded Lin Zaishan again.

Zhang Hao suddenly blurted out, "Is this uncle really capable?"

Bai Ge glared at Zhang Hao fiercely and gritted her teeth, saying, "My dad is definitely capable, he's the best!"

"The best? ... Ha."

Li He laughed rudely again.

Song Peng and others also laughed disdainfully.

Song Peng liked to please beautiful women, and Bai Ge was quite good-looking, but her figure was too young, and her small face had a bit of a Cinderella-like sorrow, which didn't appeal much to this lecherous senior, so he didn't even ask for Bai Ge's phone number. Compared to Bai Ge, he preferred to sneak peeks at the beautiful Sun Yuzhen.

Wearing a monitoring earphone, Sun Yuzhen could hear Zhang Hao and others' conversation. She gave them an unhappy look, using a gentle scolding gaze to remind them not to be so impolite.

After being stared at by Sun Yuzhen, Zhang Hao and others didn't say much more, continuing to wait for Lin Zaishan's performance.

Lin Zaishan couldn't hear what the people outside were saying, but from their expressions, he could tell that those well-dressed young guys seemed to be mocking him and Bai Ge, which made him a bit annoyed. However, he didn't want to argue with these kids and decided to focus on recording the song first.

Adjusting to a calm state of mind, Lin Zaishan closed his eyes, trying to capture the sense of bewilderment in the song. He strummed the guitar strings again and began to sing with a magnetic voice—

...

Suddenly the night falls~

The lights are dim as if from another world~

Yesterday is already far away~

The view from my window is blurred~

...

The sound of the wind~ as if nothing has happened~ too many memories~

How can I let go of your hand~

I'm afraid you'll say~ those days blown by the wind~

Tighten my heart in the deep night~

...

...

Oh~

Time is so crazy~

I've been obsessed and rushed~

Faint sadness~

No time to forget~

Only the wind can bury it~

...

...

This time, there were no mistakes, and Lin Zaishan sang the entire song without a single hiccup.

Accompanied by the sad and romantic guitar, his extremely magnetic voice was like a slowly unfolding scroll, presenting a vivid and dynamic image of the past being blown away by the wind to everyone.

When Sun Yuzhen heard halfway through, her body felt a bit weak; Lin Zaishan's voice was too full of stories.

Listening to Lin Zaishan's live performance through the monitoring earphone, many buried memories surfaced in Sun Yuzhen's mind.

This kind of emotional resonance from the voice was rare.

She had recorded many music variety shows and heard many professional singers' live performances, but the emotion conveyed by Lin Zaishan's voice still made Sun Yuzhen feel exceptionally outstanding.

To Sun Yuzhen, this uncle's voice was incredibly moving!

She really liked this kind of storytelling that was not showy but quietly captivating, making people's emotions gradually sink and swirl.

After listening to the entire "Listen to the Wind," Sun Yuzhen felt even more fortunate to have met Lin Zaishan today.

Zhang Pengfei listened to Lin Zaishan's self-accompanied singing through the monitoring earphone and sighed deeply, deeply moved.

At first, Zhang Pengfei just thought, "Not bad, very nice to listen to." As the melody unfolded, Lin Zaishan's magnetic voice became more and more heartfelt, and Zhang Pengfei was increasingly captivated— "This melody is amazing! ... This uncle is so strong at singing! So flavorful! ... Damn, really f*cking awesome! ... No wonder Sun Yuzhen recommended this uncle for the show, he really has some skills!"

After Lin Zaishan finished the song in one go, Zhang Pengfei was thoroughly convinced, finding no flaws at all.

Compared to the recording of the Believers Band that had tortured his ears for half a day, Lin Zaishan's recording was like a heavenly sound, refreshing and enjoyable!

Through the glass, Zhang Pengfei gave Lin Zaishan a big thumbs up, praising his performance.

Bai Ge, listening to "Listen to the Wind" again, felt like her ears were being poisoned, with the melody constantly echoing in her mind, elevating her world!

Her dad was really a super, super, super music genius, even more so than she had imagined!

The version of "Listen to the Wind" he sang was almost identical to the one he had sung to her alone, and even better in performance!

This made Bai Ge extremely moved!

After Lin Zaishan finished singing, Bai Ge turned and glanced at Zhang Hao with a proud look, retaliating against his earlier mockery: "You say, is my dad capable or not?"

Zhang Hao was very annoyed by Bai Ge's look, but he had to admit that the uncle in the studio sang the song with some meaning.

Li He was also stunned by Lin Zaishan's flawless performance, unable to understand how he could sing such moving music.

It seemed this uncle was very capable, so why did he sing so poorly at the Water Drop Bar that day? Was he just drunk and acting out?

The other members of the Believers Band were also moved by Lin Zaishan's music.

Bai Ge, as if dressed in a beautiful new outfit by her father's music, looked even more beautiful in Song Peng's eyes.

The silent drummer, Bi Yonggang, silently savored Lin Zaishan's music, scolding himself harshly: "Can't judge people by their appearance!"

This uncle, dressed in tattered clothes and with an old demeanor, created music full of inner vitality and a captivating aura.

If music were compared to people of different statuses, the Believers Band's music was at most a reckless, ignorant punk in adolescence. This uncle's music, however, was like a mysterious, elegant man with deep inner content and a wealth of stories, making the difference clear.

"Dad, you're amazing!"

As soon as Lin Zaishan came out of the recording studio, Bai Ge gave him an excited hug, her feet in high-top canvas shoes and slender legs sticking out behind her, looking very affectionate and cute.

Singing a song and drawing strength from the music, Lin Zaishan felt more spirited and less tired.

"Uncle, you're really amazing."

With a gentle, appreciative smile, Sun Yuzhen also gave Lin Zaishan a thumbs up.

"It's okay, I felt a bit dry singing this song. My voice wasn't in the best condition tonight."

Lin Zaishan wasn't being modest; he genuinely felt that his performance was a bit dry.

Zhang Pengfei praised, "Uncle, you sang very full and emotionally, not dry at all!"

"Let me listen. Can you play it back for me?"

Wearing the monitoring earphone, Lin Zaishan, with a serious and responsible attitude, wanted to listen to his performance again. He couldn't just go through the motions; he had to seize this opportunity to participate in the show.

Zhang Pengfei played back the music for Lin Zaishan.

Sun Yuzhen, wearing earphones, listened and evaluated with Lin Zaishan.

Listening again, Sun Yuzhen still found the song warm, heartfelt, and moving; she was almost falling in love with such a voice!

After listening once, Lin Zaishan frowned in dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong, Dad? Are you not satisfied?"

"I still feel it's too dry. My voice wasn't in the best condition tonight, and the performance lacks emotion. An ordinary person might think it's good, but if someone at the level of the music director of Oriental TV listens, this level might not move them."

Lin Zaishan was being factual.

He didn't feel the song "Listen to the Wind" deeply moved him, possibly due to fatigue or because the song didn't evoke much emotion in him. Therefore, he didn't feel it was as good as it could be.

In his previous life, he was a typical Virgo, with a perfectionist personality, especially in music, where he demanded perfection to the point of nitpicking. He couldn't accept any imperfections.

Sun Yuzhen was almost shocked by Lin Zaishan's self-evaluation!

To her, such moving music was like a heavenly sound! How could this uncle still be unsatisfied? If she were the judge, she would definitely pass Lin Zaishan!

Hearing Lin Zaishan's comments, Zhang Hao and others couldn't help but curse in their hearts: "Is this uncle just showing off? He sang so well, and he still says it's dry? Dry my ass! If this level is dry, then what they sing is a burning desert!"

Zhang Pengfei thought Lin Zaishan sang very perfectly, but hearing Lin Zaishan's comments, he realized that while this level might be good for ordinary people, professionals might not be impressed. So he didn't comment further and asked Lin Zaishan, "What do you think, Uncle? Should we record it again?"

Lin Zaishan patted Zhang Pengfei's fat arm, "Thanks for your hard work, fatty. We definitely need to record it again. This version isn't good; delete it."

Zhang Pengfei suggested, "Don't delete it yet. Record a few more times and compare. Maybe this version is the best?"

"Alright, I'll record another version and listen to it."

After drinking some water to moisten his throat, Lin Zaishan returned to the recording studio and sang "Listen to the Wind" again.

Everyone was once again moved by Lin Zaishan's music.

The Believers Band was truly convinced; this uncle's singing was so good, and he recorded the entire song without a single mistake.

To them, who made countless mistakes in the studio, this was a god-like recording!

Sun Yuzhen couldn't tell the difference between the second and first recordings; she thought Lin Zaishan sang both times incredibly well.

After listening to many types of singers, Sun Yuzhen could easily distinguish that Lin Zaishan was a natural singer who didn't need any flashy techniques. As soon as he opened his mouth, he could touch hearts and tell stories. So the more plain his singing, the more flavorful it sounded to her.

Zhang Pengfei was very impressed by Lin Zaishan's performance. Despite his shabby appearance, he was serious about music, a true master who made no mistakes, which was very admirable.

"Dad, how was this recording?"

After Lin Zaishan came out of the studio and listened to the new recording, Bai Ge couldn't wait to hear his thoughts.

Lin Zaishan, nitpicking, shook his head, "No, it still doesn't feel right."

Zhang Hao couldn't help but say, "Uncle, are you kidding? This still doesn't feel right?"

Lin Zaishan looked up at Zhang Hao, who was standing behind him, "Are you in a hurry to record? If so, you can go ahead, and I'll wait and find my feeling."

Zhang Hao quickly said, "No, no, we're not in a hurry, Uncle. You go ahead."

Li He also quickly agreed that Lin Zaishan should record first.

After hearing Lin Zaishan sing, the Believers Band were a bit hesitant to enter the recording studio.

Their level compared to Lin Zaishan was like heaven and earth!

Even more shocking, Lin Zaishan, who had recorded a heavenly sound, was still unsatisfied with his performance, which was a huge blow to the Believers Band. Did the older generation of musicians have such high standards for music? That was too extreme!

"Should we do it again?" Zhang Pengfei asked Lin Zaishan.

Lin Zaishan thought for a moment and said, "I don't think it will improve much if we do it again. My voice isn't in the best condition today, and this song doesn't evoke my emotions."

"What should we do? Can't we record today?" Bai Ge was a bit anxious.
