After finishing the pizza, Xu Qingqiu, who had originally planned on practicing a bit more, lost interest. She had been waiting for Chu Tian; now that he had arrived, who would bother practicing?
After sweetly returning ho together, Chu Tian stayed at her place for over an hour before leaving.
Even when he got ho, he didn’t have ti to sleep. Instead, he sat on the sofa alone, thinking about which song to give her tomorrow.
Chu Tian had many songs on hand, but not all of them were suitable. Firstly, so songs were already confird for the new album, and many others were reserved for subsequent albums. The remaining ones still needed to fit the specific context.
"King of Mask Singer" was a competitive program, but as the final concert, its competitive aspect had significantly diminished. Therefore, there was no need to pick sothing too explosive or eye-catching.
Maybe this could be an opportunity to create so buzz for the new album? I need to find a suitable song, one with a the that could connect to the new album, but not so amazing that it overshadows the album itself.
If that’s the case...
A few songs instantly ca to Chu Tian’s mind.
How about ’Like You’?
As a classic song by Beyond, its impact would be undeniable.
But is using this song for just one performance a bit of an overkill? No, this song should be saved for the new album; it’s a waste to use it here.
Moreover, Xu Qingqiu’s Cantonese wasn’t up to par yet; a good song might end up being ruined by her performance.
Right, ’Like You’ should go into the new album. Isn’t that just perfect? But then, does that an the new album will have too many songs? Let think... that’s probably... maybe... about a dozen or so?
Damn! You don’t realize it until you count them. A dozen or so songs make for a substantial album; that’s explosive even in the entire music industry!
But Chu Tian couldn’t bear to cut any of them.
Forget it, let’s keep it this way for now. Who complains about having too many songs?
Exactly! Who would complain about having too many works? The singer is happy, the listeners are even happier—it’s a win-win! The only ones who might not be happy are the songwriters. But I’m practically a cheat in this regard; I have too many classic pieces. If I don’t start releasing them now, I might never get the chance in this lifeti. Rather than letting them go to waste, it’s better to share more with this world and, in doing so, add a touch of familiarity for myself.
Since that song won’t work, then which one should I use...
Hmm... got it!
’Everlasting Love’—this one should do!
After an arduous search, one that felt like he had endured countless trials and tribulations, he finally found a song that seed suitable.
He recalled this song thanks to mories from his past life. It was from a performance netizens had hailed as a classic. Although not imnsely popular, the song itself was quite good.
Moreover, the original singer had gone on to have a decent career and was soone Chu Tian knew, so he had a rather deep impression of the song.
After deciding on the song, Chu Tian quickly secured the rights, registered them where necessary, then glanced at the ti and hurried to wash up and go to sleep.
Early the next day, he and Xu Qingqiu arrived at the studio, and he imdiately began to make arrangents.
"This is the new song. Take so ti to get familiar with it. If you have any issues, we’ll adjust them when I get back."
"Alright, you should hurry off to your work. I’ll try to get a feel for it on my own," Xu Qingqiu said, taking the sheet music and looking down at it.
Chu Tian didn’t say much more. They were both mature singers; so things went without saying.
As for himself, he had to make a trip back to the company. After finishing work the previous evening, he had been so preoccupied with seeing Xu Qingqiu that he’d left several matters uncommunicated with Hou Yichuan. So, he had to visit the office today.
When he arrived at Unlimited Entertainnt, the atmosphere in the office was bustling as usual during the day.
Staff were scurrying around the corridors as if their feet never touched the ground.
Apart from a few familiar faces, most people had little impression of Chu Tian.
Chu Tian didn’t mind. Their lack of recognition wasn’t an issue for now; it would change by the ti bonuses were handed out at year-end.
He went straight to Hou Yichuan’s office. Ignoring the intentionally shocked expressions from others he passed, he casually took a seat on the sofa and began to discuss business.
"I reviewed the company’s recent developnts last night. Overall, things are looking very good. So, tell , are there any issues that need my attention? I’ll see how to handle them."
"Also, sort out the company’s finances. I’ve noticed we have too much cash on hand. It’s pointless letting it sit in the bank, so figure out how to spend it."
"You can reach out to more contacts in the market to see if there are any investnt opportunities. However, make sure to vet the projects thoroughly. It’s better not to invest at all than to be taken for a ride."
"And about the company, do you have any plans for launching new projects?"
"How’s the team building progressing? We have Wei Liangxiao for variety shows, Wei Chuan for movies, and Cao Zheng for TV series, but that’s not enough. No team can be propped up by just one person."
"Every division must have at least a dual-post setup by the end of the year. Finalize so potential candidates and have Lin Xiu report them to ; I’ll co over to conduct interviews later..."
Chu Tian said a lot in one breath, covering almost every aspect of the company.
It shouldn’t be forgotten that although he wasn’t a frequent visitor, his control over the company was by no ans weak; he had a direct line to both the finance and personnel departnts.
