When I had no money, I dared to do anythingâthinking since I was barefoot, I wouldnât fear wearing shoes. Now that Iâve got my shoes on, I should use my size 43s to stomp hard on their faces!
In addition, one of his pre-hired magical assistants, Jiang Ling, had also called to offer greetings and express support, saying that these eighteenth-tier artists were simply bullies who were afraid of toughness.
Beyond that, even the TV host who had interviewed him, Chen Ling, and staff members such as Zhang Min, whom he had met once, had sent him messages.
Also, several colleagues he had worked with, like the actress from the âRiding a White Horseâ MV, Sun Mengyun, the actor Lu Dong, and friends from the Spring Festival Gala directorial team.
It was fine when nothing happened, but as soon as something did, Xu Qingyan realized he actually had quite a lot of friends.
For the past half-year, he had been essentially racing against time, focusing on one path and charging ahead. Now, looking back, he felt a sense of profound change.
After replying to everyone, Xu Qingyan came home, took a bath, and adjusted his mood.
This small entertainment company was probably the weakest force he had ever faced. He didnât even need public opinionâjust direct confrontation would do.
So, there was no need for him to be distracted by this, he should just carry on with what he was doing.
After the bath, with his hair still wet, he chose to let it air dry as he walked into the study next to his bedroom. He fired up the computer and began skillfully transcribing music, this time choosing his targets first.
Saying he would produce a platinum record for them was a joke since that requires the accumulation of fans. Moreover, whether an album goes platinum, even if he composed all the songs, would also depend on luck.@@novelbin@@
All things considered, writing three songs each for the two girls was most appropriate; it wouldnât put too much pressure on him and could maximize his returns.
So far, he was still receiving dividends from his first song âQing Tian.â As for Pei Muchan, her new song boosted sales of her previous albums.
If she could release a successful album this time, it would truly take her a step further. As for becoming a top-stream singer, that was out of the question unless she joined a big company.
The studio couldnât handle such high traffic, like holding a concert. The studio didnât have the capacity, and the associated promotion and distribution costs that big companies could afford.
The same applied to Lin Wanzhou.
The difference, however, was that Lin Wanzhouâs past songs were all owned by Yunyi Company. Compared to Pei Muchan, she had a weaker foundation; this was her attempt at making a turnaround with a new album.
After setting clear goals, he wrote down the six selected songs on paper.
The first was âIf Thereâs a Next Lifeâ for Pei Muchanâs album âChanqingâ; this song had a gentle rhythm, ear-catching qualities and a rich mood.
âIn the past, people would begin to harvest in April, lying on the high haystacks, laughing.â
âI walked through the golden wheat fields, singing to the scarecrows, waiting for the evening breeze to blow through.â
The genre was similar to âWheat in the Windâ; in fact, he wanted to use both songs. But there was no need for similar songs to appear at the same timeââIf Thereâs a Next Lifeâ was more suitable for Pei Muchan.
The second was âBacklight,â both the lyrics and the melody were strong. Mainly because it matched the concept of Pei Muchanâs albumâthose who liked this song would really like it.
It acted as a fan base-builder, while those less fond of it would be indifferent. In any case, even a passerby couldnât fault the song.
The third was âUninhabited Island,â with ear-catching vocals, mainly aimed at the teenage demographic. Even though an album should have a unified style, it should also allow for some differences.
After all, the lead song was still written by Pei Muchan. He was just adding three songs, not writing lead songs for her album.
With three or four songs, the concept of the albumâwhat Pei Muchan wanted to expressâwould be sufficiently conveyed. Nowadays, having just feelings wasnât enough; it had to be commercial.
Catchy, pleasant to listen to, with substance.
The three songs Xu Qingyan added were like eye-catching vines on the exterior. Like a bunny girl standing at the doorway, enticing people to come in.
After listening to one song and getting interested, one would then be retrospectively inclined to learn about the concept of the album and such.
Then,
For Lin Wanzhou, he selected songs with a more youthful style.
In fact, a youthful, cheerful, and lively style had always been Lin Wanzhouâs signature.
Only at the beginning, the situation was particular; Xu Qingyanâs relationships with both girls were still unclear. They were merely acquaintances and hadnât reached a point of intimate friendship.
The more sentimental songs like âWhat I Long Forâ that Xu Qingyan deliberately chose for Lin Wanzhou were just a trick to lure Pei Muchan in.
If spoken candidly, Pei Muchan was actually more suited to sing âWhat I Long For.â Nevertheless, Lin Wanzhouâs talent made for a good effect too.
The first song chosen was âThe Wind of Summer,â as soon as the music starts, itâs like summerâreleasing it wonât yield bad reactions. The second song prepared was âTogether No Matter How Farâ; the melody was soft, ethereal, and catchy.
He followed a principle in selecting songsâthey had to be pleasant to listen to with a bit of depth, serving just as supportive greens. What thoughts to convey were unnecessary in Lin Wanzhouâs album; he didnât need to stand out.
The third song was âTen Thousand Times of Sadness.â Lin Wanzhou possessed the advantage of high notes. With her tweaking, this song could definitely make a breakthrough; its melody was also very catchy.
With that, all six songs were chosen.
Xu Qingyan checked everything again before transcribing the scores, confident that there were no issues with the six songs. Glancing at the time, it was nine in the evening, so he plunged into transcribing the scores.
The next day,
A strange call came through to Xu Qingyanâs phone; the caller claimed to be a public relations staff member from Orange Entertainment Company.
