I was slacking off on a dating reality show when the female guests treated me like a treasure chest.

The song ended.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Only the sound of the distant waves never ceased.

Chen Nian put down his guitar and wondered to himself, "Is it because I know where to take a breath earlier this time?"

At this moment, Tang Xi, having recovered, blinked.

At this moment, her eyes sparkled as she looked at Chen Nian, her tone filled with undisguised admiration:

"It sounds great. The lyrics, music, and melody don't sound like something that was just written on the spot."

"Although I don't understand music, I think this is undoubtedly a good song, right?" she said, looking at Xia Yao beside her.

Xia Yao nodded gently. In a sense, she and Chen Nian were both creators.

However, she is a piano composer, while Chen Nian is a music composer.

Her gaze towards Chen Nian held a newfound curiosity. "You're truly remarkable. If this song were perfected, it would be an incredible hit, wouldn't it?"

"It'll be a hit song!" Liu Ting exclaimed, snapping out of her daze.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded slightly: "Good lyrics, the melody is not bad either, and the imagery is extremely vivid."

Su Xiao, standing to the side, looked at Chen Nian with sparkling eyes, her heart filled with admiration.

At this moment, even the barista at the counter couldn't help but freeze in place.

I thought it was just a guest casually playing and singing a few lines for fun, but I didn't expect it to be this high-level.

The photographer, carrying his equipment, secretly marveled, "Director, you've really struck gold!"

Chen Nian, feeling a little embarrassed by everyone's praise, picked up his iced coffee, took a sip, and said, feigning composure:

"After all, I am a creator, and I must have one or two decent, half-baked works."

"Really?" Liu Ting leaned closer, staring into Chen Nian's eyes. "It had better be like that!" She had a feeling that this guy was not simple. Could he be Xinghe's secret weapon?

Chen Nian turned his head away, and after Liu Ting sat back down, he turned back to them and asked, "How much do you think I could sell this song for if I perfected it?"

Everyone was stunned when these words were spoken.

Tang Xi and Xia Yao, being unfamiliar with the subject, looked to Liu Ting and the others, who seemed to be more knowledgeable about this issue.

They think such a good piece of work should sell for a lot of money.

"Uh..." Liu Ting, Zhou Yu, and Su Xiao fell into deep thought. They really hadn't looked into the Golden Melody Awards in detail.

First of all, this isn't how you sell songs.

For ordinary people, buying a song involves first purchasing the melody, and then finding someone to write the lyrics and arrange the music. The price varies for each step, but overall it's not too expensive.

Of course, some people buy the entire song, which can cost tens of thousands of yuan per song.

Good song?

They have not yet collaborated with any top-tier creators.

Like Chen Nian, if you write a complete song with lyrics, music, and arrangement, and everyone has heard it, they will consider it an amazing song.

It's hard to say what the price will be.

"?" Chen Nian saw that they were silent and thought that even a song like Chrysanthemum Terrace, which occupies a place in traditional Chinese music, could only sell for a few hundred thousand?

If that's the case, he'll choose to let Lin Ran debut!

Lin Ran, far away in Guangzhou, suddenly sneezed and rubbed her nose with a puzzled look on her face. She thought to herself that she hadn't seen Chen Nian for a while and was actually feeling a little out of sorts.

After a moment, Zhou Yu spoke up: "If you sell it to me, I can offer two million. Of course, that's my price range."

Given the quality of this song, it's likely that it will be absorbed by Xinghe Entertainment after Chen Nian leaves the show. It's hard to say whether she'll be able to buy it, unless she makes a verbal agreement with Chen Nian during the show.

Two million!

Chen Nian's breath hitched. He thought to himself that he was probably going to release it soon, and he would definitely try composing it when he found the opportunity.

Currently, the songs he has shown are all just guitar versions; he cannot judge whether he can perfect a song.

"Two million should be about right." Liu Ting nodded in agreement. "Songs are related to the singer. For example, some obscure hit songs are typical examples."

Su Xiao hesitated for a moment, then mustered her courage and whispered, "Chen Nian, why don't you sing it yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian glanced at her and said, "I'm afraid that fans will surround me every day, wearing wedding dresses, holding signs, and saying they want to marry me or something like that."

It's late at night...

The five women were stunned for a moment, then rolled their eyes at him in unison.

Soon, Chen Nian moved on from this topic.

The group sat there until after 11 o'clock, and seeing that the barista in the shop was getting sleepy, they got up and left.

On the way back, four of the five women kept subtly probing Chen Nian.

"Really, that's all. Out of two hundred songs, there are only one or two half-baked works that I showed off," Chen Nian said seriously.

"You asked Su Xiao if I've never released a single song with Xinghe?" Chen Nian looked at Su Xiao.

Su Xiao nodded seriously and said, "Yes, he really hasn't released a single song at Xinghe. I've never heard of any singer collaborating with him. I even asked my manager to invite him to write songs for me, but he turned them down for me."

"..."

"This doesn't need to be said!" Chen Nian said quietly. But Su Xiao had sent his manager to ask him to write a song? Chen Nian was a little surprised.

It seems that his agent, upon hearing of his reputation, simply took it upon himself to ignore the matter.

Not long after, Chen Nian returned to the villa entrance, said goodbye to the five of them, and went into the boys' villa. By the time he lay down on the bed, it was almost midnight.

Outside on the balcony, all was quiet. Lying in bed, I could vaguely see a corner of the starry sky.

Silent night...

As the sun rose, Chen Nian got up early to go for a run, then came back to take a shower before rushing downstairs to prepare breakfast.

It's his turn to make breakfast today.

He had studied in advance for this day and was preparing to make hamburgers.

He asked the staff to buy the hamburger buns and keep them in the refrigerator.

Chen Nian took out the dough from the refrigerator, followed by the beef, but the steak at the villa was a whole piece, so he needed to thaw and slice it.

"There are still a few pieces of greens..." Chen Nian realized, then washed a cabbage, tore off pieces of leaves, and used them to line the dough.

After a flurry of activity, just as Li Tian and the others finished washing up and came downstairs, Chen Nian came out carrying the hamburgers he had just made.

"Wow?"

"No way, a hamburger? That's great! I'll make it like this tomorrow, it's simple and efficient!" Li Tian exclaimed in surprise, then took a bite of a hamburger.

"Sure, totally OK! The ingredients are firm, so everything tastes delicious!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian breathed a sigh of relief; as long as it was edible, that was fine.

The group had a quick and simple meal. After breakfast, Li Tian, ​​Su He, and Wen Jingran went out early.

They had a schedule today and even collaborated with the girls' group.

Soon, only Chen Nian and Qi Feng remained in the living room. They exchanged a glance, smiled helplessly, and then went to the next room to find Tang Xi.

Today, they seem to be going with the staff to buy something.
