I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 11 11. Where did you find such a great person? Upload the song!

Every day is a day of harvest and rewards waiting to be claimed.

Let Jiang Chen have new expectations and joy every day.

“Second day of self-discipline.”

"Obtain a modern poem from a parallel world."

"Experience gained: 100."

"Obtain a song from a parallel world."

There are three rewards.

Jiang Chen was slightly surprised. One hundred experience points were still saved, so he had two hundred experience points available at any time.

Modern poetry, songs, collection.

A modern poem called To the Oak Tree and a song called To Live entered Jiang Chen's memory one after another, and all the information about these two works gradually became his memory.

It's another day of harvest.

Jiang Chen got up with a smile on his face. It was exactly seven o'clock. He slept for another nine hours, which once again exceeded the eight hours required by the system.

Unfortunately, the small rental house has no kitchen, otherwise Jiang Chen would like to try to turn cooking into a skill recognized by the system, so that he can cook for himself, and it will be cleaner and healthier.

Following the system's requirements, Jiang Chen washed himself thoroughly, changed into clean clothes, and then went out for breakfast. It was already eight o'clock.

Han Qing also got up. She only had one day off on the weekends, and usually she would sleep in until midnight. Today, in order to accompany Jiang Chen to record a song, she got up early and immediately sent Jiang Chen a message - Are you up?

Jiang Chen was already sitting in the breakfast shop: "Just sat down to have breakfast."

Han Qing immediately replied: "Wait for me."

After sending it, Han Qing simply washed up, put on a set of casual clothes, and went out without any makeup.

Just as she was leaving the house, Han Qing ran into Zhao Xuan who had just returned and greeted her with a smile: "Good morning, Sister Xuan!"

Zhao Xuan yawned, obviously staying up late, and asked with a smile: "Going out so early?"

Han Qing nodded: "Well, I went out with Jiang Chen for something."

Zhao Xuan was stunned for a moment: "Going out with Jiang Chen?"

Han Qing hummed: "Well, goodbye Sister Xuan."

Zhao Xuan: "Goodbye!"

Zhao Xuan watched Han Qing walk briskly into the elevator and leave, then she frowned slightly and went back to her room, thinking back to the scene of Jiang Chen singing the day before yesterday. That handsome look was indeed very attractive.

However, Jiang Chen was, after all, a wage earner who lived in a rented apartment of only ten square meters, and he left early during dinner that day, making him seem difficult to get along with.

Zhao Xuan shook her head, not thinking about Jiang Chen, and did not try to persuade Han Qing anymore. She just watched, went back to her room, fell down and went to sleep.

Han Qing came to the breakfast shop at the door and saw Jiang Chen sitting there quietly and leisurely eating breakfast. She quickly went over and sat down, shouting to the boss: "A bowl of tofu brain, two vegetarian buns, a fried dough stick, and a tea egg. Thank you, boss."

Han Qing took a look at Jiang Chen's breakfast, which only had a bowl of soy milk, two buns, and an egg: "You eat even less than me."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Just eat until you are 60% full. It's enough nutrition. If you eat too much, it will become a burden on your body."

Han Qing: "You really studied health preservation."

Jiang Chen: "I've done some research!"

Han Qing's breakfast came, and in order not to waste Jiang Chen's time, she ate it quickly.

Jiang Chen paid the bill after eating: "It's my treat today, let's go."

Han Qing was still swallowing the egg as she nodded: "Yes, yes, I'll treat you next time! By the way, Sister Pu said yesterday that she forgot to ask you if you have any ideas for composing music. Do you want her to help you find an arranger and producer in the industry to help you?"

Jiang Chen shook his head: "No, I have already finished the arrangement, she just needs to prepare the instruments according to my request yesterday."

Han Qing gave a thumbs up: "Amazing, he wrote the lyrics, composed the music, arranged the music, and sang it himself. There are only a few such all-round talents in the entire music industry. In the past ten years, there has been even one. The Chinese music scene is dying."

Jiang Chen laughed: "You still care about the Chinese music scene."

Han Qing: "I studied music because I thought the songs in the Chinese music scene were not good. My previous dream was to save the Chinese music scene. Later, I found that writing and singing songs were not that easy, and I had to work to support myself, so I gave up. Now I think you can do it."

Jiang Chen shook his head, he didn't have such awareness.

He just wants to live his own leisurely life, and the life and death of the Chinese music scene has nothing to do with him.

The two got on the subway and chatted all the way. Han Qing did most of the talking, and Jiang Chen occasionally smiled and answered a few questions. Then they arrived at a more remote area.

Pu Yuexi's recording studio is here because the houses here are cheaper.

Pu Yuexi had received Han Qing's message in advance, so she was already waiting outside. When she saw Jiang Chen and Han Qing, she waved and walked over.

"You guys are here really early. Jiang Chen, do you have any ideas for composing music? I have contacted a friend who is good at composing music and he can come over and give you some ideas."

Pu Yuexi spoke first when she saw Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen shook his head: "No, I already have a complete idea."

Pu Yuexi nodded: "Okay, I'll tell him not to come. You are the protagonist, today it depends on your performance. Try to finish one song within three days, and finish both of your songs within a week."

Jiang Chen was slightly puzzled: "Does it take so long?"

He immediately received all the information about the several works he obtained from the system, including the recording, arrangement, production and other details.

He felt that as long as the instruments and post-production could keep up, it would not take long to complete.

Pu Yuexi: "Under normal circumstances, it is like this. If the requirements are not high, it can be done in one day. I have worked with several online singers. They all released one song a day. The production was relatively rough. They mainly spread it through online short videos, and the audience didn't care that much. As for you, if you want to upload it to a music platform for paid downloads, the quality must be better."

Jiang Chen: "Of course, upload it to a paid platform!"

Pu Yuexi: "Have you decided which platform to use? I suggest Penguin, which has the most users, more than the other platforms combined. But it's also harder to stand out. If you are confident in your work, go to Penguin. When you broadcast live, you can promote it and attract traffic, and you should be able to achieve good results."

Han Qing didn't say anything. After all, she was just a music lover and not a professional musician, so she just acted as a listener and didn't disturb Jiang Chen.

The three of them walked in and got into the elevator, and arrived on the second floor, which was a large flat of 200 square meters. Pu Yuexi separated half of it and converted it into a recording studio, and she lived in the other half.

"This is my recording studio, and it's also my home. Come in and sit down for a while. The musicians I contacted will be here soon. They are all good sisters who formed a band with me before. They are absolutely trustworthy!"

Pu Yuexi poured a glass of water for them.

Jiang Chen asked seriously at this time: "How much do you charge here?"

Pu Yuexi smiled and said, "If you have money, just give me cash, 10,000 yuan per song, and it will take at most three days. If you don't have money to give, I will charge 3% of the copyright share for each song."

The copyright share is definitely not allowed, Jiang Chen immediately said: "Give me cash, I want to record five songs, can you give me a discount?" Pu Yuexi smiled and shook her head: "Ten thousand yuan a song, it's already very cheap, I let you use the recording studio, and I also helped you contact the musicians! If you go to other people to ask for such treatment, one song will cost at least twenty or thirty thousand."

"You just said you wanted to record five songs?"

Pu Yuexi finally reacted and seemed to have heard that Jiang Chen wanted to record five songs, so she asked curiously.

Jiang Chen nodded: "Well, last night I went back and sorted out some of the things I wrote before, and I wanted to give it a try by recording them together."

Pu Yuexi gave a thumbs up and said, "Great! You are bursting with inspiration now! Okay, I'll charge you 40,000 yuan for five songs."

Jiang Chen: "Okay, I'll give you the money after the recording."

Pu Yuexi: "It's okay. Xiao Qingzi will guarantee it. You can pay me anytime."

Han Qing smiled and nodded: "Jiang Chen, I have saved some money. If you don't have enough, I can lend it to you first."

Jiang Chen immediately shook his head: "Thank you, no, I have enough money."

After they agreed on the price, there was a knock on the door. Pu Yuexi immediately went to open the door. Three young women walked in. They were all about the same age as Pu Yuexi. One had short hair, one had long straight black hair, and one had ear-length hair. Each of them had their own characteristics. They were all dressed casually and sportily, looking quite cool.

Pu Yuexi immediately said, "Come on, Jiang Chen, let me introduce you to my three good sisters! They are also the sisters who played in the band with us before. This tomboy with short hair, Li Wen, is a keyboard player and a top student who graduated from the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music. This queen with long black hair, Chen Xiaojia, graduated from the same class as me at the Magic Conservatory of Music. She is good at several instruments, including bass, guitar, drums, and piano. She can also play the guzheng and erhu. If you need musicians to accompany you, just contact her."

"The youngest sister is Wang Jing, who graduated from Zhejiang Conservatory of Music."

Jiang Chen didn't expect that it was actually a girl band. He immediately stepped forward and politely greeted the three people: "Hello, thank you for your help."

Chen Xiaojia, a royal lady with long black hair, smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. We are also working for money. I heard from Yuexi that you are awesome. You compose and sing by yourself!"

Li Wen and Wang Jing didn't say anything, but nodded to Jiang Chen as a greeting.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Not that great! Then let's get started, shall we?"

Chen Xiaojia praised: "That's straightforward. Let's get started and don't waste time."

Jiang Chen directly took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket. These were the arrangements of four songs he wrote before going to bed yesterday: Ideal Thirty, Flowers Blooming in Parting, Single Love Song, and Lingering Fragrance!

The new song Alive that he just got this morning, he hasn’t had time to write yet.

Pu Yuexi and Chen Xiaojia took it immediately and looked at it carefully!
Li Wen and Wang Jing also leaned over to read.

Jiang Chen said directly: "Just record the soundtrack according to my requirements."

Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Li Wen, and Wang Jing took a quick look and then looked at Jiang Chen in surprise at the same time.

Obviously, they didn't expect Jiang Chen's arrangement plan to be so complete.

It hasn’t been recorded yet, so they don’t know how the specific arrangement will turn out.

However, being able to come up with such a complete arrangement plan in advance is extremely rare in the industry.

Many producers arrange music as they experiment, and they always have new ideas and add new instruments, so most of them do not have a complete plan, but only a general style direction.

Jiang Chen directly provided a complete arrangement plan.

They just need to complete the instrumental recording.

This is the easiest job for them.

"No problem, let's get started!"

Pu Yuexi said immediately.

Several of them had formed a band together before, but they stopped playing in the band in the past two years and started working behind the scenes. They also often collaborated with each other, so they were very familiar with each other and had a tacit understanding. They immediately entered the recording studio and began to arrange the instruments that had been prepared in advance.

Jiang Chen watched them busying themselves while he began to gather his emotions and prepare for the song recording.

A morning has passed!
Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Li Wen, Wang Jing, and Han Qing who had been spectating had not expected this!
Four songs, finished in just one morning!
Jiang Chen participated in the entire production process. When they were recording the soundtrack, any mistakes could be pointed out immediately and corrected immediately, which greatly improved the recording efficiency.

It takes almost half an hour to finish a soundtrack.

When Jiang Chen recorded the song himself, he also finished it in two takes, and "Ideal Thirty" was even finished in one take.

One morning, four songs.

By around 1:00 p.m., when we were ready for lunch, everything was done.

Jiang Chen was very happy and praised Pu Yuexi and the others, "As expected, they are top students from a prestigious school. Amazing!"

Chen Xiaojia said somewhat ashamedly: "You are awesome!"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "You guys are still awesome."

Pu Yuexi said with a smile: "Stop bragging to each other, you are all amazing."

Several people laughed.

It was lunch time, Jiang Chen invited everyone to have a meal nearby, then he and Han Qing said goodbye and left, agreeing to come back in two days to record the remaining song.

Watch Jiang Chen and Han Qing leave!

Wang Jing, who had always been relatively low-key and quiet, whispered, "Yuexi, where did you find such an amazing person? I've never seen anyone record a song so quickly and with the same quality and quantity!"

Pu Yuexi smiled bitterly: "I didn't know he was so good. Xiao Qingzi introduced him to me when he was singing live."

Chen Xiaojia: "Which music school did he graduate from?"

Pu Yuexi shook her head: "He studied computer science!"

After hearing this, several people were silent.

How can a person who studies computer science be so good at music?

They couldn't understand.

……

When Jiang Chen and Han Qing returned to the rental house, they immediately logged into their Penguin Music user accounts, applied to be singers, and uploaded two songs.

Thirty years of ideals, and separation blooms into flowers.

After uploading, Jiang Chen lay down and took a nap.

Han Qing, who lives next door, immediately refreshed Penguin Music, searched for the titles of the two songs, and then paid to download them. Without any discount, one song cost one dollar.

After downloading, Han Qing followed Jiang Chen again and shared it on her circle of friends - the latest treasure singer she discovered, both new songs were original creations by him and he sang them himself!
When Jiang Chen woke up after an hour's nap, he washed his face and immediately opened the backend of Penguin Music to check the status of the two songs he had uploaded.
