Get the perfect music system at the start

"Please forgive me for falling in love with Xu Fan, who can be so sharp-tongued yet so ordinary it makes you want to cry."

"Superstar, we love you!"

The viewers in the live stream were incredibly enthusiastic, and Xu Fan's fan data seemed to have changed again, with his song "Sorrow" resonating across the entire internet. Xia Ziling also left a comment in the live stream saying: "Xu Fan, I want to be your fan for life."

Xu Fan probably couldn't see this comment; his gaze was fixed cautiously on Xue Laiyi.

At this moment, he felt unusually nervous, for reasons he didn't know before.

I didn't feel this way even when I was put on hold.

Zhang Dada subconsciously glanced at Xue Laiyi, implying that the outcome was already quite obvious.

Xue Laiyi also stood up and said, "Congratulations. I know I'm being a bit sentimental today, but your song is truly impeccable. Your fans fought for this opportunity for you, and you seized it wholeheartedly. So, Super 666 belongs to you."

Instantly, various voices rose from the audience, and applause resounded.

Xu Fan happily bowed and expressed his gratitude.

It seems that many fake fans have become real fans.

He suddenly noticed that the system's voice was constantly ringing out, indicating that he had gained countless favor points.

The reason I use the word "countless" is because it is really difficult to count.

The sound was really annoying, so Xu Fan simply turned it off.

Xu Fan was slightly pleased with the opportunity to advance. He loved music and wanted to sing his songs for everyone.

Even though these songs all came from the system, he was still willing.

The song "Sorrow" is really beautiful. He doesn't know what the singer in that parallel world went through to write such lyrics. For some reason, he always feels that this song is describing his current state.

I felt somewhat lost and sad.

After the song "Sorrow" ended, the entire internet was abuzz, and the audience's attention suddenly shifted from "The Coming One" to the ordinary name of Xu Fan.

The fourth contestant to advance will be selected online through a fan vote.

In his concluding remarks, Zhang Dada said, "Thank you for watching, everyone. This live broadcast of the 'The Coming One' upgrade battle is coming to an end. Please log in to Tencent Video and cast your vote for your favorite contestant. We will be holding the final battle of 'The Coming One' next week. Stay tuned, goodbye!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the live broadcast gradually came to an end.

The internet started to buzz and ferment.

Xu Fan's song surpassed the popularity of "The Coming One" for the first time, which is incredible on Weibo, considering that "The Coming One" was produced by Tencent Video and its promotion was phenomenal.

But the missing data that night drove countless netizens crazy.

The important thing is that song "Sorrow," it's just so beautiful!

Netizens went crazy because everyone was fast-forwarding the replay of the video to the part where Xu Fan sang "Xiao Chou," and as soon as he finished singing, they immediately went back to continue playing.

The video's views are skyrocketing.

At this point, some people finally couldn't sit still any longer.

The head of Penguin Music is 45 years old this year. In recent years, the development of Penguin Music has become increasingly slow, mainly because there are fewer and fewer real singers and even fewer good songs.

Those songs that became popular for a short time were all created by young male celebrities purely through their influence.

When Tencent was setting up the "The Coming One" variety show, he, as the top executive of Tencent Music and the show's most steadfast supporter, wanted to find some promising talents who were suitable for releasing albums.

So he started paying attention to it when The Coming One started airing.

Whether it's Cui Zhixuan or Wang Shengyi, they are both within his consideration.

Xu Fan was also on the list. He listened very carefully to the first two very distinctive songs, but he was always a little hesitant, thinking that he would wait until after the finals to decide.

However, after Xu Fan finished singing "Xiao Chou" that night, he couldn't wait any longer. He had already left work and was in his study without thinking much. He took out his phone and called his secretary.

As soon as the call connected, he immediately ordered, "I don't care what method you use, get me the exclusive copyright to Xu Fan's 'Sorrow' as soon as possible. Even if you can't get the exclusive rights, you must get the exclusive electronic broadcasting rights. Remember, it has to be exclusive. Don't worry about the money."

He breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone, but still felt uneasy and dialed a second number.

When the call connected, he said, "Is this Director Wang from Tomorrow's Children?"

Wang, the executive director of The Coming One, was somewhat flattered. He never expected that the head of Tencent Music would make this call to him.

He had once been fortunate enough to have his phone number, which he had kept in his phone but never dared to call. So he immediately recognized him and quickly said, "Hello, Mr. Liu, this is Wang Boqing."

Mr. Liu said, "I remember you said that The Coming One owns the concert recording copyrights of all the contestants' songs, right?"

Wang Boqing, the director, said, "It's just an exclusive right of use."

Mr. Liu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, ten million. Please, Director Wang, part with your money and transfer the exclusive rights to the live recording of Xu Fan's 'Sorrow' to Tencent Music."

Wang Boqing was shocked. Although Penguin Video and Penguin Music both belong to Penguin Group, they are, after all, separate companies with different areas of expertise. Without thinking, Wang Boqing agreed and said, "Okay, no problem."

All contestants will sign an agreement before participating in the competition, stipulating that they must give the program team the right to record and play the live version of all their songs. The program team has the right to change the playback rights, and only one company can have the right to do so.

Wang Boqing made his choice. Mr. Liu felt relieved. The next step was signing the contract and uploading it, which had to be done quickly. So he called his deputy again, took the contract and money to the program team, found Wang Boqing, signed the contract, and uploaded it directly to Tencent Music.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan had already left the recording site surrounded by Zhao Feiyang, who was holding several light boards with Xu Fan or Fan's name on them.

Xu Fan was speechless, but just as he was about to leave, a shy young man suddenly stopped him and said, "Hello Xu Fan, my name is Zhong Yixuan, it's nice to meet you."

Xu Fan recognized the boy named Zhong Yixuan because the boy's voice was so incredibly beautiful that even he, a man with a cheat system, had to admire how beautiful the boy's voice was.

Although he did not advance in the Shengshi Duxiu track upgrade battle, he was only given a pending status.

However, Xu Fan believes that Zhong Yixuan simply didn't choose the right song for the previous performance.

I believe he still has a chance; after all, the production team won't let his talent go to waste.

But just as he was about to say hello, his phone rang suddenly, so he said somewhat embarrassedly, "Excuse me, I need to take this call."

Zhong Yixuan nodded, and Xu Fan calmly said into the phone, "Hello!"

A stranger's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Xu, I am the music director of Tencent Music. I just listened to your song 'Xiao Chou' and really liked it. I would like to purchase the music playback rights for your song 'Xiao Chou'. If you are interested, I am willing to pay 500,000 yuan for it."

"Hello, I think..."

"I know 500,000 is a bit low, how about a flat price of 1 million?"

"I"

"Mr. Xu, if that price still isn't enough, then I'd like to purchase the exclusive electronic broadcasting rights to your 'Sorrow' for 5 million. Is that acceptable?"

"I"

"1000"

The conversation shocked Xu Fan. The voice on the other end didn't give him a chance to say anything more, so he hesitated for a long time before finally speaking: "I agree. I originally meant 500 million would also be fine."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then Xu Fan heard a weak voice.

"Too hasty"

===Chapter 15 Recording in the Studio===

Xu Fan was taken aback.

He thought to himself that he had agreed too quickly.

However, he didn't regret it. What does ten million even mean?

He had no concept of it.

Xu Fan subconsciously tried to count on his fingers in front of the people around him, but found that he didn't have enough.

The voice on the other end of the phone continued, "Mr. Xu, if you have time, you can log in to Tencent Music, and we will sign the contract online immediately."

Xu Fan said, "I haven't recorded this song yet."

The person on the other end of the phone continued, "It's okay, you can record it as soon as possible, and we'll sign the contract immediately after it's finished."

Xu Fan hung up the phone and saw Zhao Feiyang staring at him with wide eyes, asking, "Old Xu, what did you just say, ten million?"

Xu Fan smiled awkwardly and said, "My friend said I had ten million followers on Weibo, but it turns out he was lying. I only have a little over ten thousand."

Xu Fan wasn't lying, it's just that the number was too frightening, and there were other people around.

Xu Fan smiled and said to Zhong Yixuan, "Excuse me, why haven't you left yet after the recording is over?"

Zhong Yixuan said, "I'm waiting especially for you, superstar."

Xu Fan asked, "Wait for me?"

Zhong Yixuan said, "Yes, I like your superstar status, I like your wealth, and tonight, my favorite song is your 'Sorrow'. So I would like to ask you, under what circumstances did you write such a beautiful song?"

Xu Fan smiled and said, "Your song 'Lost' is actually quite nice, and 'Sorrow' is perhaps a reflection of your experiences."

Xu Fan didn't say much, because he was also curious about the state of his parallel world self when he wrote such a song.

Zhong Yixuan smiled and said, "Thank you, I'll be going now."

Xu Fan nodded, and the two parted ways.

Standing next to Xu Fan, Zhao Feiyang said, "I also want to know how you wrote such a beautiful song, and that song 'A Person Like Me'."

Xu Fan shook his head and said, "Let's go to the recording studio to record the song first."

Zhao Feiyang nodded obediently.

Just as the two were about to leave, Zhong Yixuan, who had already left, suddenly turned back for some reason and said to Xu Fan, "Superstar, I think I heard you say you wanted to record a song."

Xu Fan nodded and said, "I have that idea. Brother Zhong, do you have any good recording studio recommendations?"

Zhong Yixuan nodded and said, "There really is one. Whether it's the recording quality or the technique, the level is absolutely top-notch. If you don't mind, I'll take you there."

"Okay!"

The system has already taken care of all the copyright issues, so there's no need for me to worry about them too much.

Inside a luxurious office building, in an office space of three or four hundred square meters.

There are all sorts of musical instruments and various kinds of electronic music devices on display.

As soon as Xu Fan entered, he noticed that the musical instruments were all extremely valuable, and there were also some very well-known soundproofing materials placed around them.

Setting up a recording studio in an office building is definitely not something an ordinary person can do.

Zhong Yixuan noticed Xu Fan's confusion and explained, "This is a place opened by a friend of mine. He also likes music, so he formed a band and just played around with it. However, it hasn't really taken off. But they are truly passionate about music and are very professional. This recording studio is where they train and record."

Xu Fan said, "Each of these musical instruments is worth tens of thousands of yuan."
