My agency went bankrupt before I even got on stage.

With the singing and accompaniment recorded, merging the audio tracks, adjusting the channels, and correcting the pitch became very simple. Xia Yan completed all the post-production work in less than an hour.

While Xia Yan was busy, Lian Xiaoyu uploaded the complete sheet music and lyrics to the Blue Star Music copyright library, helped Lin Fan complete the copyright registration, and then helped Lin Fan upload the audio source to NetEase Music.

NetEase Music is the largest music streaming platform in China. Backed by social media, it boasts the largest user base nationwide. Even Xiaoyu personally likes this platform, so she posted on NetEase Music without asking Lin Fan's opinion.

"Xiao Fanfan, you're a newcomer right now, so when this song is released, you can only sign the most basic contract with the platform, a 50/50 split. But don't worry, as long as you keep releasing songs, I'll find a way to get you a higher percentage! But when you have new works, remember to contact me first to help you register them. Don't be silly and just sing them out directly, or someone might steal them."

Lian Xiaoyu never forgot her own little schemes and kept tempting Lin Fan.

Lin Fan knew Lian Xiaoyu was doing this for his own good, and hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes, Boss Lian is right. But this platform is too shady; they actually took half of my income!"

Lian Xiaoyu sneered repeatedly: "At your current level, you're not qualified to talk about profit sharing!"

Lin Fan raised both hands in agreement.

"I'll post a message on your Weibo and personal site later, and your fans will come and pay to buy it. Isn't it great to make money while lying down?" Lian Xiaoyu continued her seductive scheme!

"Cool!"

Lin Fan's eyes lit up; he had a long-term meal ticket!

"Would you like to release another song?"

"want!"

Lin Fan completely forgot the suffering he had endured all day. He was full of energy. The feeling of having money was amazing! He no longer needed to be a hairdresser for others. Although hairdressers didn't earn a low income, nothing beats the comfort of making money while lying down.

Lian Xiaoyu was slightly taken aback. She had only asked casually, but she didn't expect this young man to be so confident. She couldn't help but look at Lin Fan seriously, and then exchanged a glance with Xia Yan before asking softly.

"Do you have any songs written?"

"have!"

This answer came out without thinking.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan regretted it!

"Hey, hey, you really have it? Little Fanfan, I didn't know you were hiding it so well! Quick, quick, sing it so I can hear it!" Lian Xiaoyu pounced on her, as if she could see a glittering future.

Xia Yan was also somewhat surprised, and her beautiful eyes turned towards her.

Lin Fan regretted it so much he wanted to bang his head against the wall. How could he be so easily carried away? How many times had this happened? How many times? Why couldn't he learn his lesson! If he kept releasing songs, would he really debut? Would he still be able to date in the future?

But words spoken are words spilled and cannot be taken back! Lin Fan could only shift the blame to Lian Xiaoyu. It was all this woman's fault for seducing him. If she hadn't offered him money, would he have been so easily swayed? From now on, I must stay away from this woman. She still wants to be my manager? Dream on!

"I do have one, but I don't know if it's good or bad. I just finished composing it and haven't practiced it properly." Lin Fan hesitated for a moment, feeling that as a time traveler, he should be more humble.

Do you have sheet music?

Xia Yan's pleasant voice rang out.

"I'll write it down, Miss Xia, please review it for me!"

Lin Fan wasn't tired anymore. He picked up his pen and quickly wrote down the song he had just drawn: "I actually want to sing this song when I say goodbye to the 'Morning Star' stage."

"This new song..."

Xia Yan picked up the sheet music, glanced at it, and started clapping along with one hand, humming softly. Lian Xiaoyu, a complete novice who couldn't understand the sheet music, anxiously turned around, asking, "How is it? How is it? How about comparing it to 'I Caught a Cold in That Corner'?"

"Only higher, never lower!"

Three minutes later, Xia Yan put down the sheet music, her eyes sparkling as if with starlight: "You said you were going to sing this when you said goodbye to the 'Morning Star' stage?"

"Yes, I feel this song is perfect for them!" Lin Fan nodded.

"Great, I'll handle the instrumental accompaniment for this song!"

The two seemed to be communicating in sign language, driving Lian Xiaoyu to the brink of madness. But when she heard Xia Yan praise the song as being no less excellent than "I Caught a Cold in That Corner," her mouth dropped open: "Xiao Fanfan, are you possessed by an alien?!"

"You're the one possessed by an alien!" Lin Fan broke out in a cold sweat, and without thinking, he quickly denied it, "I'm talented too, okay? Although I can't compare to Miss Xia, I'm not far off! Don't assume everyone is as stupid as you!"

"Are you going to call me stupid again?" Sure enough, Lian Xiaoyu immediately got angry and her attention was quickly diverted.

Xia Yan smiled slightly and looked down at the sheet music in her hands again: "Lin Fan, your talent is in no way inferior to mine!"

"Hey, girl, you're not bewitched by this pretty boy, are you? We agreed to stay single together. It's embarrassing for me to fall for him so quickly, you know?" Lian Xiaoyu was stunned. Although she already thought highly of Lin Fan, she never expected Xia Yan to have such a high opinion of him, just based on two songs?

"There's definitely something fishy about these two!"

Lian Xiaoyu kept glancing at the two of them; her woman's intuition told her that something was amiss.

"Um... the recording fee for this song is also 1?"

Lin Fan felt a little embarrassed by the praise and quickly changed the subject.

"It's 1! Credit card or cash?"

Xia Yan smiled and couldn't help but joke, "I don't accept debts or IOUs here!"

"Ah, I don't have that many on me right now!"

Lin Fan was dumbfounded. Although he had indeed made some money as a hairdresser, he hadn't settled any accounts yet. He was currently only a "rich man on paper."

"Hehe, Xiao Fanfan, let me settle the bill for you. All we need to do is sign the agent contract! This 2 yuan is your signing fee!" Lian Xiaoyu seized the opportunity, determined not to give up her golden opportunity!

"You definitely need an agent!"

Xia Yan glanced at Lian Xiaoyu but didn't discourage her. Instead, he said quite frankly, "These two songs will definitely become the trend this year. You could totally debut with these two songs. You have such great talent, don't waste it!"

"That's right! I even brought the contract!" Lian Xiaoyu was extremely excited. Sure enough, letting her best friend go was the best decision she ever made.

"No, I don't want to debut!"

Lin Fan shook his head without even thinking! "Are you kidding me? These songs are all system rewards. You have no idea how exploitative this system is. What if it stops giving me songs in the future? Am I supposed to just hum them from memory for everyone? You're kidding me!"

One should have a long-term perspective!
