72: Chapter 72: Anything you can do, I can do better!
“It’s simple.
What I learned from my master was how to sing and dance, while my little junior brother learned dicine, or rather, he’s all-around capable.” These two words might be an exaggeration when applied to others, but if used to describe Chen Wei, Liu ng would feel there’s no better fit.
All-around capable…
Zhu Hong indeed felt it was an exaggeration, but with Zhang Bowen’s example before her, she didn’t have the confidence to question Chen Wei.
So, she said, “Even if he is your junior brother, I think you should still maintain so distance between you two.
You mustn’t be too intimate.
If the paparazzi catch you, how many of your fans do you think will listen to your explanation?”
“Don’t worry, Sister Hong, I know my limits.” Liu ng walked behind Zhu Hong, placed her hands on her shoulders, pushed her to the sofa to sit down, and then hugged her from behind, cheek to cheek, and said, “I actually invited him over today to help write a song.”
“Write a song?” Zhu Hong looked up, thinking Liu ng must be joking with her.
“He knows how to write songs?”
Even if he does, isn’t it too big a leap to go straight to writing songs for the Queen?
Zhu Hong felt that if Chen Wei really wanted to write songs, he could start with writing for less famous singers.
After producing a few well-known songs with good reviews, it wouldn’t be too late to write for Liu ng.
If his skills aren’t up to par and Liu ng insists on releasing the song, it might just cause her to lose fans!
“Of course.” Liu ng confird without hesitation, “When it cos to songwriting, my junior brother Wei is unmatched in this world!”
Unmatched in this world…
Zhu Hong really wanted to tell Liu ng, don’t blow it out of proportion.
After a resentful glance, she got up and struggled out of her embrace, “It’s fine to write, but you have to co up with sothing first for to see.
If it can’t even pass my judgent, let alone the review committee, I believe those veterans who have written songs for you over the years won’t agree either.”
“Wei, show Sister Hong a bit of your skill,” Liu ng quickly found paper and pen for Chen Wei.
“Sixth Senior Sister, aren’t you treating too much like a tool?
You promised that after three years of hardship, you’d properly compensate ,” Chen Wei complained verbally, but his hands took the paper and pen from Liu ng.
“Don’t worry, once this song is released, Senior Sister will definitely compensate you well.
Whatever you want, Senior Sister will give you, including…” Liu ng said with a devilish smile.
Thank goodness Zhu Hong didn’t see that smile, or she’d nag again.
Chen Wei sat down on the sofa, began to write, and poured out hundreds of words.
After revising and reducing, nearly three hundred words remained.
Does this guy write songs without even thinking?
Just writing it down directly?
Zhu Hong wondered if Chen Wei was simply showing off, trying to impress her with his speed, thinking she was easy to fool with a diocre effort.
Although Zhu Hong didn’t understand lyrics too well, she could still tell the difference between good and bad ones.
Chen Wei had no chance of pulling the wool over her eyes!
“It’s done.
Take a look,” Chen Wei handed the lyrics and music to Liu ng.
“Alright, let’s see.” Liu ng took the lyrics and music, scrutinized them, and after only a mont, her eyes lit up.
“I have a feeling this song is definitely going to sweep all the top charts, firmly grabbing the number one spot!”
Sweep all the top charts, firmly securing the top spot?
Zhu Hong felt that Liu ng’s words might be a bit too exaggerated.
It wasn’t that she underestimated Liu ng, but it was the peak ti for the Queen of the Year selection, with a dozen Queens releasing songs frantically, trying to widen the gap between themselves and others.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to call it a battle of the gods.
At this ti, to sweep all the top charts, Zhu Hong felt that would be quite difficult.
If it succeeded, it would definitely beco the hit song of the year!
“Co, Sister Hong, take a look.” Zhu Hong had just co to her senses when she saw Liu ng handing the lyrics and music in her hand over to her.
“Okay.” Zhu Hong reached out to take it, and as she read more carefully, the more shocked she felt inside.
She admittedly knew very little about lyrics and music, but even so, she could easily tell that this level of songwriting was as high as it gets!
Turning her head abruptly, her gaze fell on Chen Wei, and Zhu Hong felt it was unbelievable.
She roughly estimated that Chen Wei must have taken less than five minutes to write this set of lyrics and music.
Less than five minutes!
He really was a monster!
“How about it?
Sister Hong, it’s great, isn’t it?” Liu ng’s eyes shone with anticipation.
Zhu Hong ca to herself, coughed twice, and then stood up, “What I say doesn’t count, whether it can pass or not depends on the review team and the opinions of those teachers.”
“Then what are we waiting for?
Let’s hurry.” Liu ng took one arm of Chen Wei and the other of Liu ng and led them out of the office.
Before long, the three of them arrived at the songwriting work area.
“Elder ng, Elder Yang, and Miss Feier, this is a new song written by a newcor for Liu ng.
I’d like you to take a look.”
Elder ng was called ng Maiyi, Elder Yang was called Yang Tianzheng, and Miss Feier was Li Feier.
They were all considered Liu ng’s in-house lyricists and songwriters, having written many songs for Liu ng over the years, especially Li Feier, who, though only in her early twenties, had already written more than a dozen songs with extrely high popularity.
Chen Wei noticed Li Feier, dressed in a denim jacket, jeans, and sporting light yellowish-white bangs with short hair, wearing earphones and sucking on a lollipop, giving off a very youthful and rebellious vibe.
However, being so young and writing songs for a Queen like Liu ng, Chen Wei felt her skills must be incredibly strong.
ng Maiyi was the first to speak, “I only know of Miss Feier as soone of this age who can write songs for Miss Liu ng, I didn’t expect another to co along.
Indeed, ‘as the old waves die on the beach, new waves rise from the ocean.’ We old antiques probably need to retire now.”
Yang Tianzheng, much less inclined toward pleasantries, directly took the lyrics and music from Zhu Hong and started reading.
As for Li Feier, she paid attention solely to her phone the entire ti, not even sparing Chen Wei a glance and simply nodded a greeting to Liu ng and Zhu Hong.
Having talent and displaying arrogance was quite normal; Chen Wei was used to it, having gone through that stage himself and still carrying remnants of it.
Noticing that Yang Tianzheng had been silent for a long ti, ng Maiyi found it odd and looked at him, only to see him showing a rare expression, as if he’d been astounded!
“Elder Yang, this doesn’t seem like you.
How good is the writing to make you show such an exaggerated expression?”
ng Maiyi’s words drew Li Feier’s attention, and her eyes glanced over.
“The level of creativity for both the lyrics and music of this song is very high,” Yang Tianzheng finally said after quite a while.
“Oh!
It’s that high?
How high?” ng Maiyi was imdiately interested.
“Very high, so high that even if you and I, at our peak, combined our efforts, we wouldn’t match up to ten percent,” said Yang Tianzheng, not including Li Feier in his comparison to avoid annoying her.
Or rather, it was Li Feier who actively blocked communication with the two old antiques, maintaining a strict colleague relationship.
“You and I combined, at our peak, couldn’t even match up to ten percent?
Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?” As a leading figure in the world of songwriting, ng Maiyi was for the first ti belittled to this extent.
“Not exaggerated at all.
This song is on par with ‘Winter Snow.'” Yang Tianzheng shook his head and corrected himself: “No!
In fact, it is even better!”
