HuaYu: The most muscular director in history!

"Huh? What did you say? Change the song? Do you know what you're saying?"

Inside the Sony China Kyoto office.

Chen Yaochuan gritted his teeth, feeling as if he had just eaten a giant, pungent intestine!

This Xiang Nan, signed a record contract, doesn't like to wear makeup, those two things are fine, but now that the song is finished, you actually want to change the song?

Why?

Chen Yaochuan's fingers tapped audibly on the mahogany table: "This time, if you don't give me an explanation, don't expect me to continue mentoring you. You'll have to find someone else!"

Across from Chen Yaochuan, Xiang Nan raised his hand and yawned, his head still feeling a little dizzy.

Changing the song was a last-minute decision made last night.

Last night, Xiang Nan, who had just returned to his rented apartment after having a few drinks, received a message from Liu's mother.

[Xiao Nan, let's skip the rest of Xixi's music video. Ten days is too long, and we're at a crucial point in filming here. Sorry.]

There was nothing Xiang Nan could do. Regardless of whether it was really the final scene of filming, he suspected that Liu's mother wouldn't let him see Xiaobuding anytime soon.

It wasn't that she was cutting off their contact; Xiang Nan guessed that Liu's mother wanted to cool things down between them.

"Say something!"

Xiang Nan snapped out of his daze and looked up at the anxious Chen Yaochuan: "Brother Chuan, it's like this, the female lead originally scheduled for the MV has had to withdraw due to other commitments."

"The female lead in the music video?"

"right!"

Chen Yaochuan let out a deep breath, seemingly even angrier.

"Just one female lead in the music video? That's it? You're going to replace the already-produced 'Sea of ​​Flowers' just because of this stupid reason?"

Chen Yaochuan grew angrier the more he thought about it, and with a push, he knocked a newspaper off the table.

"Brother Chuan, I know you're anxious, but don't rush, come on, come on..."

Xiang Nan took out a cigarette and handed it over.

Although he can choose not to smoke, he always carries cigarettes with him in case of situations like the one in front of him.

"Click—"

Chen Yaochuan took the cigarette, lit it himself, took a deep drag, and stared at Xiang Nan, waiting for him to continue.

"I want to change to a song that will be popular for a hundred years?"

"What the hell?" Chen Yaochuan asked with a strange expression, his brows furrowed into a deep frown, which matched his name.

To be honest, his first reaction upon hearing Xiang Nan's words was suspicion, and his second was a desire to laugh.

What song can remain popular for a hundred years? The national anthem?

"Come on, Brother Chuan."

With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, Xiang Nan turned around, took out the sheet music from his backpack, and handed it over.

Chen Yaochuan glanced at him suspiciously, then reached out and took the sheet music.

With just one glance, his eyes widened, and then his gaze grew brighter and brighter!

"Bang—" He slammed his hand on the table.

"You're hiding something this good? Damn it!"

"Cough cough cough... Calm down, Brother Chuan."

Xiang Nan could guess Chen Yaochuan's reaction.

This song is so powerful that it can even affect a record company's stock price!

"No, that's not right!"

Chen Yaochuan seemed extremely excited. His eyes darted around, and after thinking for a while, he looked for something on the table. After searching for a while, he ran off the table and picked up the newspaper on the ground.

"China Music Chart, Ringtone Chart, look at this."

Xiang Nan frowned and took the newspaper.

The other news and gossip sections were fairly standard, but the music charts at the back were divided into two sections—

China Music Chart (Hot Songs Chart):

"Nothing Is Impossible" - 0 Point Band

"One Day" - Xu Wei

Fairy Tales – Xiang Nan

"I Need You" - Man Wenjun

"In the Rain" - by Wang Banbi

"The Subway to Spring" - Yu Quan

Old Boys – Xiang Nan

"Third place? Not bad, not bad!"

He charted on the radio for only ten days, and "Fairy Tale" beat out a host of other songs, climbing to number three on the chart!

The China Music Chart is mostly comprised of mainland Chinese songs, but it's unbelievable that a song could chart in just ten days, especially considering that other songs have been built up over a year.

He stubbed out his cigarette, squinted, and continued watching.

China Music Chart (New Song Chart):

Princess Consort – Xiang Nan

The Brightest Star in the Night Sky — Xiang Nan

"Heaven Above" - ​​Zheng Jun

Plato Square – Zhao Kai

If Love Is Stranded – Lin Yilun

Come On — Han Hong

Needless to say, every song Xiang Nan releases to the charts almost always dominates the charts, even if it's only been released for three days.

Tens of thousands of Xiang Nan's fans have gathered on Tianya Forum, but he hasn't had time to deal with them, and Sony isn't kind enough to manage them for him.

Xiang Nan thought to himself, "I need to find an agent."

He paused, then looked up at Chen Yaochuan: "Brother Chuan, what do you mean by showing me this?"

Chen Yaochuan didn't say anything, but got up, walked around to his side, and pointed to the second section.

"These ringtones that came from South Korea are quite popular lately; it seems to be a new trend in the industry. Look at this Korean guy."

Xiang Nan looked at the ringback tone list.

Because there is no business yet, there are only a few songs listed, but the first one is very eye-catching. It is a Korean song.

At this point, Chen Yaochuan simply took out his phone and started playing music on the spot.

The song begins with a series of gentle reminders, which instantly evoked Xiang Nan's memories.

It's going to be another day (with the arrival of sunshine)

With sunshine (A new day begins)

【햇살은나의창을밝게비추고(The sun shines warmly in front of my window)】

"..."

It's so familiar; it's definitely the song he played every day at the Civil Engineering University in his past life.

"Sweet Dream, a paradise of happiness, Zhang Na..."

"Hmm?" Chen Yaochuan glanced at him suspiciously.

"You're talking like you know her? She only came to China in October to develop her career."

"No." Xiang Nan shook his head, twirled his fingers, and changed the subject: "So, Brother Chuan means I should use that song to climb the ringtone charts?"

"Attack simultaneously!"

Chen Yaochuan bent down, placing one hand on Xiang Nan's chair, his wide eyes filled with excitement: "With both sides promoting it simultaneously, we'll try to make this song a nationwide hit before the New Year!"

"Can."

Xiang Nan nodded, and after a moment of contemplation, he looked up at Chen Yaochuan and made a request.

"I can finish this song in three days, but I have one condition."

Chen Yaochuan's eyelids twitched, and he got up and returned to the boss's chair: "You said, as long as it's not excessive, I can report it up the chain of command."

Reporting it up through all the levels? Does Brother Chuan suspect I'm trying to sell it for a higher price, or to negotiate terms?

Brother Chuan, you're overthinking things.

"I'll produce the music video; just give me the production fee for 'Sea of ​​Flowers'."

Chen Yaochuan frowned.

Xiang Nan's record deal originally stipulated that Sony would cover the production costs of the music videos for twelve songs, but this was later reduced to six, and today "Flower Sea" was cancelled.

These funds that have already been allocated will likely be taken back by Sony, but... Chen Yaochuan can use his position to intercept a portion of them.

Now Xiang Nan is proposing to produce it himself and demanding the return of the production costs for "Sea of ​​Flowers"...

Chen Yaochuan tilted his head back and pondered for a long time.

He genuinely liked Xiang Nan. He could be a bit mischievous at times, but he was honest and unpretentious, and he would generally listen to what Xiang Nan said.

By the way, his advertising expenses...

"Can."

Chen Yaochuan finally couldn't bear it and nodded.

Xiang Nan's face lit up with joy: "Thank you, Brother Chuan!"

His gratitude this time was genuine; Chen Yaocuan, this "peer," is truly a good person!

"How do you plan to make the music video?"

Xiang Nan's lips twitched, and he gave an awkward chuckle.

"It's still that same person..."
