Chapter 57 Good brothers should share both good and bad times.
The next morning, Chen Fan arrived at the recording studio on time.
He had practiced that piece of music countless times.
After the final recording, Chen Fan was most satisfied with this version and immediately sent a message to Ge Mingyue.
Agent Ge: Mr. Ge, the demo is finished. When would be a convenient time for you to come and listen to it?
Agent Ge: By the way, there's something I'd like to discuss with you.
Chen Fan has been eating and sleeping here for the past few days. When he gets sleepy, he takes a nap on the sofa and continues writing when he wakes up.
The mixing console was piled high with empty coffee cups and crumpled Red Bull cans, and the sheet music was covered with crossed-out and rewritten notes.
When Ge Mingyue and An Shihuan arrived, they saw Chen Fan slumped on the sofa, looking completely dazed.
Ge Mingyue stood in front of the sofa without any embarrassment, and even put the fruit she had brought on the coffee table.
"Mr. An, wasn't signing this singer a great deal?"
Upon hearing this, An Shihuan sighed, "It was worth it! With that kind of drive, this kid will shine in any industry!"
He had already learned from Andy that Chen Fan was a 380-pound fat man more than half a year ago, but he has lost more than half of his weight in such a short time.
"I heard from Mr. Cheng that he has a high level of musical literacy, and even if he loses the competition, he can still be a good musician."
An Shihuan analyzed the problem from a businessman's perspective, and Ge Mingyue nodded repeatedly, "He is also a popular live streamer on our platform."
"Yeah! Dude, you're super popular right now!" Chen Fan, who wasn't sleeping soundly, immediately raised his hand to indicate that he was indeed popular.
Ge Mingyue couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard this, "Even in her sleep, she doesn't forget to be famous!"
"Huh? President An is here too?" Chen Fan immediately rubbed his eyes and got up from the sofa. "Let's listen to the demo!"
He went straight to the control panel and pressed the play button.
The prelude is a flowing folk music performance, which transitions to a grand orchestral presentation after 30 seconds. The string section creates a sense of space for heroes, while the addition of brass and percussion injects a powerful force.
The two styles have been blended together remarkably well, giving the impression that the path ahead is becoming increasingly wider.
The purely instrumental approach enhances the emotional tension and imagery of the music, making it stunning even without lyrics.
Neither of them spoke, their expressions solemn.
After listening, Ge Mingyue glanced at him and noticed the bloodshot eyes in Chen Fan's eyes.
"Not asleep again?"
"She's asleep. She was just sleeping."
"A few hours?"
"Just... a few, I guess."
Chen Fan brushed it off, then immediately suggested to the two, "The first half of this accompaniment needs a folk music performance! Aren't my friends all studying folk music lately?"
"How about letting them come with me and show their faces?"
Upon hearing Chen Fan's words, An Shihuan and Ge Mingyue naturally agreed.
This is a world-class event; going there for a while and coming back is enough to brag about for a lifetime!
An Shihuan nodded, "Okay! Have them fully cooperate with your performance."
Ge Mingyue didn't say anything, but turned around, took out an orange from the bag, peeled it, and handed it to him.
Chen Fan took it, broke off a piece and put it in his mouth; it was very sweet.
"Is this what you meant by 'we need to discuss'?" she asked.
"right!"
"How could they not go to such a good opportunity?"
Chen Fan grinned mischievously, popping another segment of orange into his mouth. "That's not necessarily true!"
I thought to myself, this thing needs to be practiced like crazy to get on the international stage!
They might not actually be willing!
An Shihuan and Ge Mingyue were confused, thinking: This is such a good opportunity, whether they want it or not is not up to them!
"What's the name of this song? The company will help you apply for a patent."
"Above the Moon"
Ge Mingyue picked up the sheet music and looked at it for a few seconds.
She couldn't read the musical notes, but she saw the marks of being crossed out and rewritten, the dense notes on the margins, and the creases on the edges of the paper from repeated folding.
Ge Mingyue couldn't help but sigh. She had seen hardworking singers before, but she never expected Chen Fan to be such a standout.
"This level of effort is unlike you."
"What doesn't resemble me?"
"You used to write songs very quickly."
A song can be released in just one or two days.
How long have you been writing this song?
Chen Fan didn't calculate it carefully: "Who's going to calculate that! I'm just being cautious!"
"Being cautious is best!"
An Shihuan smiled and said, "I'll go back and have them come find you. Make sure you explain everything you need to General Manager Ge, and we'll prepare it."
"Okay, thank you very much, Mr. An!"
"Don't be shy! Just produce a few more hit songs!"
After finishing his sentence, An Shihuan left first.
Ge Mingyue also got up and took away the trash, saying, "Creative work is important, but you also need to take care of your health."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan walked to the window. "Don't worry, I'm as strong as an ox!"
After packing up, Ge Mingyue immediately left with her things, leaving Chen Fan alone in the recording studio.
Are you scared?
"What are you afraid of?"
"What if we lose?"
Chen Fan did not answer at the time.
But now, facing the empty recording studio, he muttered to himself:
"If I lose, I'll come back and keep writing songs until they shut up."
Chen Fan finally completed the first step and returned to the company-arranged accommodation that same day, where he slept soundly.
The next morning, I was awakened by a series of urgent knocks on the door.
Chen Fan, still half asleep, went to open the door. As soon as the door was opened a crack, several figures quickly squeezed in.
"Brother Fan, you're so disloyal! I practiced my skills so hard for you, and you just turned around and sold me out!"
"Exactly! We finally didn't have to practice so hard anymore, and with just one sentence from you, the manager gave us a death order!"
"I told you this kid was cunning!"
Yun Duo stared at Chen Fan with utter disbelief, as if she'd seen a scumbag: "Brother Fan, tell me! Tell me this wasn't your idea!"
Du She poured cold water on her enthusiasm, saying, "Little Cloud, stop fooling yourself. Who else but him could compose such a powerful folk music piece?!"
"That's him!"
Yun Duo felt like the sky had fallen. "Brother Fan! I never imagined you'd drag your buddies down like this!"
Chen Fan was speechless at their antics. "Bringing you onto the international stage, is this harming you?"
Yunduo looked aggrieved: "Is there a painless way to go on stage?"
"Practicing the erhu is so hard! My hands hurt!"
The others looked like they'd eaten shit, but considering that Chen Fan was already showing their loyalty by giving them the opportunity, they had no choice but to go along with him.
After faking a couple of cries, they immediately backed down.
Du She explained in a low voice, "Are you crazy! When it comes to folk music performance, there are countless people in the country better than you and me! If it weren't for Brother Fan pulling strings, do you think we'd even get a chance?"
Yun Duo hesitated for a moment, then weakly said, "Then...then I can harmonize too!"
"Don't even mention our terrible singing skills; we'd be dragging Fan Ge down with our harmonies!"
At this moment, Yun Duo's eyes glazed over, and she resigned herself to her fate.
What else can we do?
Keep practicing!
On their way to the recording studio, Chen Fan comforted Yun Duo, "Don't be so discouraged. I'll give you some pointers later, okay?"
"Is there really such a good thing?" Dushe immediately came over.
Chen Fan pressed his hand against his forehead, "Only one person allowed, you're not included!"
Dushe: ...No, no!
