After buying the house, Chen Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, it is a big deal worth tens of millions. There is no room for negligence in the process of buying a house, and the nerves are always tense.
The next morning after completing the formalities, Chen Feng was finally able to sleep in. However, just when he was about to sleep until he woke up naturally, that damn cell phone kept ringing.
It's Xu Tailang.
Chen Feng opened his eyes with difficulty, glanced at the screen of his phone, and answered the call with great resentment.
"Hey...what's the matter..." Chen Feng said weakly.
Xu Tailang was quite energetic. He said angrily: "It's okay. I just haven't seen you for a few days. I want to invite you to get together and have a meal."
"Oh... let's talk..." Chen Feng hung up the phone directly.
A few seconds later, the phone rang again.
"Hey? Chen Feng, the signal was not good just now? Why was it suddenly disconnected?" Xu Tailang said with some confusion: "By the way, I recently found a very delicious mutton hot pot restaurant. How about we go to have the meat cooked together at noon?"
Chen Feng: "...I'm very tired now, I just want to sleep..."
Xu Tailang: "Ah? Chen Feng...you...went out last night? Are you...are you right An Ruohua, you..."
Chen Feng: "You just went out to wander. You wander every day. Otherwise, how could you be called too wandering... I'm just a little busy recently and just want to take a nap..."
"Hahaha, why are you sleeping in? What time is it now? It's more important to eat delicious food... Well, let's do this, I will drive directly to your community to pick you up in a while... I will treat you today, that's it...
"
Bang, Xu Tailang hung up the phone.
Chen Feng squinted his eyes, feeling the urge to hit someone.
However, since Xu Tailang was coming over, Chen Feng couldn't really stay in bed any longer, so he had no choice but to get up and tidy up.
"Well, Xu Tailang is a bit abnormal today. It's not like he usually cares about everything... Is there something wrong with him? Otherwise, why would he take the initiative to invite me to dinner?"
Chen Feng thought while brushing his teeth.
Sure enough, Chen Feng's guess was correct. At noon, Xu Tailang took Chen Feng to a mutton hot pot restaurant. After the two happily cooked a few plates of mutton, they started talking about business.
"Actually, it's not anything big, I just want to arrange a song with you." Xu Tailang said after drinking himself a glass of beer.
Chen Feng slowly took a sip of tea and asked with some surprise: "You? Asking me to have a song? What do you mean?"
Xu Tailang, a small owner of a recording studio, why would he ask for a song appointment?
But Xu Tailang shook his head and said, "It's me, helping others, asking you to arrange a song."
"Oh..." Chen Feng responded and asked curiously: "Who did you make the appointment for?"
"Lin Shengxue..." Xu Tailang said a name that surprised Chen Feng.
…
Lin Shengxue, a well-known love song queen in the Chinese music scene, made her debut twenty years ago. With her pure appearance and sweet singing voice, she gained a large number of fans and became the mainstay among the new generation of young female singers in the music scene.
She has released an album every year for ten consecutive years, and each album must be a hit. When she was 27 years old, she also won the Best Female Singer, which represents the highest award in the Chinese music industry. At that time, many people believed that
As long as she can maintain this momentum, she will definitely become the next generation of queens.
However, it is a pity that when she was thirty years old, Lin Shengxue suddenly retired. For the next five years, she did not appear in the entertainment industry again.
Almost no one knew her whereabouts in the past five years. Gradually, her name was forgotten by the entertainment industry, and her fame was quickly exhausted.
Just when everyone thought that Lin Shengxue would never appear again, three years ago, she quietly made a comeback.
After her comeback, she still rarely appeared in the entertainment industry. She just maintained the rhythm of releasing one or two new songs every year. However, because she had been retired for too long, her new songs were not very popular after her comeback. Except for some top-tier hardcore fans back then.
Fans, most people no longer buy her account.
This is the cruelest place in the entertainment industry.
…
Chen Feng never expected that Xu Tailang would actually arrange a song for Lin Shengxue.
"You... know Lin Shengxue?" Chen Feng looked curious.
Xu Tailang drank another glass of beer: "We know... Back then, we grew up in a compound. My father was the conductor of the orchestra, and her mother was a soprano in the opera troupe."
Chen Feng was shocked: "Then you two are childhood sweethearts?"
Xu Tailang gave a wry smile and sighed: "Childhood sweethearts are nothing. I have done well in studies since I was a child. I am ranked first in the exams every year. I am a role model for all the children in the compound. I...hehe, I brought a bunch of thugs with me every day, fighting and causing trouble everywhere.
, is a person that is disliked by thousands of people. Although we live in the same compound, we have never exchanged a few words."
"However, I have secretly peeked at her beautiful figure as she walked by my window in a floral skirt countless times..." Of course, Xu Tailang was embarrassed to say this to Chen Feng.
However, Chen Feng nodded with a clear face: "I understand, you have a crush on someone..."
Xu Tailang: "...Did I say anything?"
Chen Feng: "You didn't say it, but I can see it. Your plot is too bloody. You don't even have to guess. It's really boring..."
Xu Tailang: "..."
Well, Xu Tailang had nothing to say and could only drink his third glass of wine.
Chen Feng slowly took a sip of tea.
"By the way, what did Lin Shengxue do during those years when she retired?"
Xu Tailang sighed and said: "Actually... Lin Shengxue's life was quite difficult. The relationship between her parents was not very good. They often quarreled when they were living in the compound when they were young. Later, Lin Shengxue entered the entertainment industry and made some money.
She sent her mother to live abroad... It's a pity that her father was unwilling to accept it and chased her a few years ago... Then something happened... During the years when Lin Shengxue retired, she had been handling her family affairs abroad."
"Oh..." Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.
He can understand this situation because it is very similar to his family situation.
…
Chen Feng's parents also had a bad relationship, and they divorced when he was very young. One of them went to Europe and the other to Canada, and they each formed a new family. When Chen Feng was a child, he lived with his grandparents.
grown up.
Before Chen Feng was a minor, his parents would still pay him alimony every year. When he became an adult, even the alimony was cancelled.
In the end, they didn't even come back for the funeral of their grandparents. It was several uncles from their hometown who helped handle the funeral affairs of the old man.
Chen Feng can almost be said to have grown up alone.
However, Chen Feng received a lot of love and care from his grandparents. His character was not too extreme, and he did not complain too much. Anyway, he lived a good life by himself. He was alone in the family, and one person had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry.
After he met An Ruohua, An Ruohua became his only relative.
In this life, as long as he and An Ruohua are happy, that's enough!
…
Xu Tailang may have been too immersed in the past between himself and Lin Shengxue, and did not notice the change in Chen Feng's expression, but Chen Feng himself quickly adjusted.
"So, what happened next? Why did Lin Shengxue come back again? You came to me to arrange a song for her?" Chen Feng asked curiously.
Xu Tailang drank his fourth glass of wine silently.
"After Lin Shengxue's family affairs were settled, she herself suffered from depression... She had been recuperating for a long time with no sign of improvement. Later, several of our friends in the compound discussed it and thought it would be better for her to find something to do.
Just help her start singing again."
"Well, this is a good idea." Chen Feng nodded.
A gratified smile also appeared on Xu Tailang's face: "Yes, since she started to come back to sing, her mentality has really improved a lot. Recently, she wants to make a new album, which will include the songs after her comeback. But
, now there is still a lack of a good song that can support the entire album.”
"So...you found me?" Chen Feng finally understood the emotional entanglement between Xu Tailang and Lin Shengxue, which went in such a big circle. In fact, in the final analysis, Xu Tailang wanted to help the childhood goddess he had a crush on when he was a child.
"Not bad." Xu Tailang nodded: "I understand your level. You can write classic hits like "Mortal Song" and "Men Should Be Strong", and you can also write Internet songs like "Mouse Loves Rice". I
I think it shouldn’t be a problem for you to write a decent pop love song.”
"Um..." Chen Feng shrugged helplessly: "But... do you know... how much did I sell for my last song?"
Xu Tailang waved his hand: "Don't worry, money is not a problem. Lin Shengxue doesn't have much pursuit of money now. She just wants to sing more good songs..."
"Um...Is it really no problem? I sold one million songs, plus 80% of the channel copyright fee, and there's no guarantee it will be a hit..." Chen Feng said with a wink.
Xu Tailang looked confident: "Of course it's no problem, it's just a song, how expensive can you be...what?"
Xu Tailang reacted halfway through his words and immediately stopped.
"You...you...you...why don't you go grab the money?" Xu Tailang's eyes widened.
Chen Feng shook his head: "It's illegal to steal money, I won't do it!"
Xu Tailang: "Which song of yours has sold a million copies? Oh...wait a minute, let me think about it...it won't be the second "Mouse Loves Rice", right?"
Xu Tailang works in a recording studio and has some knowledge of things in the industry. Except for phenomenal Internet songs like "Mouse Loves Rice", no song can sell for the price Chen Feng said.
"That's an accurate guess!" Chen Feng smiled and nodded.
Xu Tailang was silent for a while, then suddenly shook his head.
"This is different... Things like online songs are hard to come by, and they are a one-time deal. This is different from the orthodox entertainment and music circles. You have to know that if you help Lin Shengxue write a good song, you will get a lot of money behind it.
There are many times more stuff than if you wrote an Internet divine song!"
