A song called "The You of the Past" has prompted the entire internet to beg me not to leav

In the living room of the hillside villa, a huge television screen flashed with the glint of swords and shadows.

Lin Yan sat cross-legged on the large leather sofa, holding the PS5 controller in both hands, his fingers clicking loudly.

The game boss's deep roar came from the speakers, while the character on the screen was rolling around in a sorry state.

Shen Qingqiu, dressed in casual clothes, stood behind the sofa with his arms crossed, his face almost completely dark.

Four hours have passed since Lin Yan announced at his studio that he would finish five songs in one night.

During this time, apart from finishing two takeout meals and drinking three cans of iced cola, the only serious thing this newly appointed music director did was sit here and fight to the death with a boss who had three heads.

"Lin Yan".

Shen Qingqiu finally couldn't hold back any longer, her voice turning chilly.

"Wait, wait three minutes, boss, this boss is about to enter the second stage!"

Lin Yan didn't even turn his head, his body swaying left and right with the controller.

Shen Qingqiu took a deep breath, her chest heaving.

She shouldn't have doubted Lin Yan's talent, after all, he was the one who produced masterpieces like "Blue and White Porcelain" and "Sorrow".

But that's five songs! And they have to be of the same quality as the title track of her new album!

This is music creation, not buying cabbages at the market. Even Zhang Hai, a top-notch composer recognized in the industry, could only come up with a "Tailor Song" after three months of struggling.

"It's getting late."

Shen Qingqiu walked to the coffee table and slammed a blank musical score and a pen down next to Lin Yan.

"If Lao Liang and the others don't see the sheet music by tomorrow morning, I'll lose all face, and the studio's prestige will be completely gone."

On the game screen, Lin Yan's character had just delivered a powerful blow to the Boss. He paused the game, let out a long breath, and casually picked up a pen.

"Boss, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush it. You can't force inspiration by just sitting there. Playing games is to keep your brain in a high-speed state."

Lin Yan was talking nonsense, and casually spread the notebook on his lap.

What happened next left Shen Qingqiu completely dumbfounded.

Lin Yan didn't even look up. With his left hand, he continued to hold the controller and manipulate the joystick to make the character spin in place. With his right hand, he held a pen and started drawing musical notes on the staff.

Is this what you call songwriting? What's the difference between this and memorizing a poem?!

"Boss, your voice is on the colder side and has a very strong penetrating quality, but if you don't control your high notes, they can easily sound shrill."

Lin Yan's pen flew across the paper as he wrote and spoke.

"Since it's a new album by a diva, there has to be a big hit to anchor it. The first song is uplifting, with strings as the foundation, and the chorus goes straight for the big beat."

Shen Qingqiu was about to retort when his gaze was fixed on the musical notes on the paper.

Lin Yan doesn't even need to test the sound with instruments when writing songs!

The main melody, chord progressions, and even where to put the drum kit and where to add the bass are all clearly marked.

In less than five minutes, two pages were filled with writing.

Lin Yan paused, then wrote five large characters in the header: Invisible Wings.

"Here, the first one."

Lin Yan tore the notebook off and handed it to Shen Qingqiu, then his eyes drifted back to the game screen.

Shen Qingqiu took it with suspicion. She had an extremely high talent for sight-singing and ear training. As soon as she glanced at it, the melody automatically appeared in her mind.

The prelude is gentle, with an ethereal quality that pierces through the mist.

Then comes the verse: "Every time, I find strength in hesitation and loneliness; every time, even when I'm hurt, I don't shed a tear."

Shen Qingqiu gasped. The lyrics were straightforward, yet they possessed a tenacious power that struck straight to the heart!

Follow the melody to the chorus:

"I finally see all my dreams come true."

The youthful voices that chase after us are so bright and clear.

Shen Qingqiu's breathing became erratic after just one thought in her mind.

This is an absolute masterpiece that can inspire the entire nation to sing along!

"This..." Shen Qingqiu's voice trembled slightly as he stared intently at Lin Yan, "You wrote this in five minutes?!"

"I already have it in my head, how long will it take to copy it down?" Lin Yan pressed the controller and continued to slay monsters.

"Boss, stop spacing out, this is just the appetizer. Next song, how about a love song? A national favorite, please."

Lin Yan sandwiched the handle between his legs and pulled out the paper and pen again.

He paused for two seconds, then turned his pen and wrote the words "Later".

Shen Qingqiu completely disregarded his CEO dignity and simply knelt on the carpet, leaning close to Lin Yan's hand and staring intently at him as he wrote.

"Gardenia blossoms, white petals, fall on my blue pleated skirt... Later, I finally learned how to love, but you were already gone, vanished into the sea of ​​people..."

Looking at these few lines of lyrics, Shen Qingqiu felt a lump in her throat. What kind of divine lyrics and music are these?

The song blends the regrets and losses of youth into its melody, making other sentimental love songs on the market seem as shallow as a tissue in comparison.

"There's a regret, let's start with a long one." Lin Yan didn't stop writing.

The third poem is titled "Red Bean".

"I haven't yet cooked red beans for you, to create a lingering, painful wound..."

Shen Qingqiu felt a chill run down his spine. The arrangement requirements for this song were ridiculously high, and Lin Yan even made special annotations on the side.

"The intro needs to include an electric cello, with a lot of reverb to create a sense of spatial distance."

This level of attention to detail is something even Lao Liang and his group might not be able to achieve.

In the fourth song, Lin Yan used three different colored pens to mark the vocal parts.

"Fleet of Time"

The extremely bizarre yet catchy melody breaks the conventional structure of pop music.

Shen Qingqiu would bet that once this song is released, the intro alone will dominate the current charts.

"I'm exhausted." After finishing the fourth poem, Lin Yan shook his sore wrist.

He glanced at Shen Qingqiu, who was completely stunned, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.

"Boss, this is the last one. Didn't you say on Weibo that you were pursuing me? This is my exclusive response to you."

Shen Qingqiu's cheeks instantly flushed crimson.

Lin Yan wrote the last two words with flowing strokes: "Courage".

When the chorus appeared on the page, Shen Qingqiu's defenses completely collapsed.

"Love truly requires courage to face gossip and rumors. As long as you feel the same way, I'm willing to follow you to the ends of the earth."

This was practically tailor-made for her right now!

It takes immense courage for her to publicly announce her pursuit of Lin Yan on her official account.

It took less than an hour and a half in total.

Five timeless classic songs with extraordinary lyrics and music, detailed arrangements, and distinct styles were presented to Shen Qingqiu.

She gripped the sheet music tightly, watching Lin Yan pick up the controller again and dominate the screen. Only one thought remained in her mind.

You come from a musical family?

Excitement, shock, and ecstasy overwhelmed the icy female CEO in an instant.

She lunged forward and grabbed Lin Yan, who was sitting on the sofa, and hugged her tightly.

This came so suddenly that Lin Yan almost threw the controller away.

A fragrant breeze wafted towards him, and he felt his neck being tightened, with a soft, warm body pressed tightly against his back.

"Lin Yan! You're simply a mad genius!" Shen Qingqiu's voice trembled slightly, barely concealing its intensity.

Lin Yan froze, his hands dangling in the air, too afraid to move.

The clothes were so thin that the amazing sensation almost caused his CPU to overheat.

"Cough cough... Boss, if you keep doing this, I'm about to get serious..." Lin Yan patted her back dryly.

Shen Qingqiu suddenly came to her senses, released her grip as if electrocuted, and took two steps back. Zhang Qingleng's face was now as red as a ripe apple.

"You...you scoundrel..."

She turned her face away, forcibly adopting the demeanor of a boss, but her bright red ears betrayed her.

Lin Yan rubbed his nose.

"Alright, everything's ready. Can I start playing now?"

Shen Qingqiu gave him a slightly ambiguous eye roll, carefully put away the sheet music, took a few deep breaths, and then returned to her professional producer state.

"With 'Invisible' as the main inspirational theme, 'Later' and 'Fleet of Time' are responsible for reaping tears, 'Red Bean' elevates the artistic level, and 'Courage' directly counterattacks and solidifies the fanbase. This combination of punches can completely annihilate the Chinese physical CD market within the last ten years."

Her eyes shone, yet she frowned slightly.

"only……"

"What's wrong?" Lin Yan asked.

"These five songs are absolutely amazing, but overall they lean towards a grand and melancholic feel," Shen Qingqiu said, pointing to his phone screen.

"Have you forgotten our main mission on the trending topics? The whole internet is shipping our couple and waiting for me to speak up! What do you think about using a super sweet little song as a starting point?"

Lin Yan rubbed his temples, understanding.

This is because they think it's not sweet enough without pink bubbles.

"Sweet songs, huh?" Lin Yan yawned and waved his hand dismissively.

"Okay, I'll write it at the studio tomorrow morning. I'm going to sleep now, my life is more important."
