Donghai University's Campus Beauty
Welcome to "I'm Trapped in the Same Day for a Thousand Years," exclusively produced by Feilu Novel Network, narrated by Sang Ze Wang Xiaomo Lao He.
The girl with the mysteriously dressed ponytail was stunned for a moment before she realized that Wu Chen had sat down and was talking to her directly.
She habitually glanced around before pulling down her black mask, leaving part of it hanging on her chin.
Thus, his face was still partially obscured by a baseball cap and mask, with only the central part visible.
This certainly allows people to see her beauty, but because it's covered up, it's not as shocking.
You can recognize this?
The girl asked.
The sweet and gentle voice belonged to Song Xuan.
You're the only one in the coffee shop who's afraid of being seen, even wearing a mask while drinking coffee. Are you hard to recognize?
Wu Chen said with a smile.
Wow, senior, you're so smart!
Song Xuan smiled half-jokingly, then looked Wu Chen up and down again, his brows furrowing slightly as he smiled, "Senior, I feel like I've seen you before."
He thought Wu Chen looked familiar, which wasn't surprising, because while Wu Chen wasn't exceptionally outstanding, he wasn't exactly plain-looking either.
In most women's eyes, Wu Chen would be considered handsome. Without such looks, Wu Chen Liu Caixiu n't have called him a pretty boy.
Wu Chen had never been in a relationship before July 7 of this year. In a place Computing Machinery, where there are more men than women, it's not easy to find a partner.
However, good looks always attract more attention and make people more memorable.
I might have run into them at the Second Canteen.
Wu Chen casually smiled and gave a perfunctory reply.
In fact, Wu Chen had seen Song Xuan countless times during his school years, but he would remember every time he saw Song Xuan, while Song Xuan would not.
Although Song Xuan only enrolled in Donghai University two years ago and has only just completed his second semester, he will be starting his third year at the beginning of the new semester.
But from the moment she enrolled, she was the most renowned, talked-about, and dazzling female student at Donghai University.
This is not only because of her background, but also because of her stunning good looks.
Before he enrolled at Donghai University, there were several campus beauties at Donghai University. Those pure and invincible girls were indeed beautiful. According to Wu Chen's strict scoring standards, they were all close to 9 points, all above 8.5.
Every university in the world has a few beautiful and outstanding female students, without exception.
Donghai University is known for having many beautiful women, as it has a dance academy, a music academy, and disciplines related to broadcasting and hosting.
The question of who was the number one young actress in Dongda has always been controversial, with everyone having their own opinion. It all comes down to personal taste, and there's no right or wrong answer.
When Song Xuan enrolled, all dissenting and debating voices were silenced, and the opinions of all male and even female students were unified.
Song Xuan is the undisputed campus belle of Donghai University, and the only one at that. No matter how pretty other girls are, they are at least one level below her.
Shortly after Song Xuan enrolled at Donghai University, a strange trend emerged within the Donghai University: you are even more beautiful than Song Xun.
This is an insult, similar to telling a man that you're rich and powerful, even richer than the world's richest man. It's a highly sarcastic insult.
Song Xuan's beauty is truly undeniable, and Wu Chen would rate Song Xuan's looks at 9.5 out of 10.
However, he and Su Qingying have different styles. Su Qingying has a fairy-like and ethereal quality, while Song Xuan has a gentle and graceful style.
This is why Song Xuan only had an impression of Wu Shen, and felt that he had seen him before, but Wu Chen remembered seeing him many times.
Because Wu Chen was just an ordinary student who was a bit handsome, while Song Xuan was the campus belle of Dongda University who attracted everyone's attention wherever she went.
Because she was so beautiful, Song Xuan developed the habit of wearing a mask when going out many years ago.
He's not a celebrity, but wherever he goes, he gets stared at by a crowd. When he sits in a coffee shop, the man next to him with his girlfriend will steal glances at him, and some people even take pictures of him without his consent, which causes him some distress.
The senior students also often eat at the Second Canteen!
Yes, but I didn't go there much in the months before graduation this year. They changed the cook, and the food wasn't as good anymore.
Yes, that's what everyone's saying. The student council has reported it to the school, and the school said they would replace it but they haven't done so.
The two exchanged a casual remark, and it was immediately apparent that their relationship had grown much closer.
After all, they are upperclassmen and underclassmen from the same school. This kind of relationship is not special within the school, but it seems special outside of school.
We haven't officially met yet, senior.
Song Xuan Song Xun smiled and extended their hands to Wu Chen. She was a girl who loved to laugh, and her face was always smiling.
Wu Chen?
Wu Chen smiled and shook hands with Song Xuan.
Senior, did you bring your things?
Is it a USB drive, or is it handwritten?
Song Xuan then asked Wu Chen.
Um.
Wu Chen hesitated for a moment, then smiled and asked, "Did you bring paper and pen?"
Yes, I brought it. What for?
As Song Xuan asked the question, his hand unconsciously touched the bag on the chair next to him. The chair contained her laptop bag, luxury handbag, laptop, and other items that the girl usually carried.
She's already brought everything, what else can she do but write this down for you?
Wu Chen smiled.
Write to me, donate blood to me.
Song Xuan's expression changed.
I've memorized them all.
Wu Chen pointed to his head. "Senior, you're not here to mess with me, are you? You're going to be annoying."
Song Xuan spoke in a joking tone, and as he spoke, he picked up his bag and took out paper and pen.
He also writes songs himself; inspiration comes by chance, so he always carries paper and pen in his bag.
The paper Song Xuan handed over was a thick notebook, half of which contained lyrics written by Song Xuan himself. At first glance, it felt like a jumbled mess, with inexplicable sentences in fragments, and some resembling modern poetry, since lyrics are supposed to rhyme.
Wu Chen didn't look at it much; he had seen it too many times in the Reincarnation. He flipped to a blank page at the back and started writing lyrics directly.
The latest one I wrote is, of course, the song title. "Heart's Remedy."
Song Xuan leaned forward slightly to look, and even murmured a line from the song "Heart's Remedy".
Wu Chen wrote very quickly, without pausing at all; in just over ten minutes, he had written several hundred words of lyrics.
Wu Chen didn't stop there; he wrote numbered musical notation in the corresponding positions above the lyrics. When writing the lyrics, he used blank lines, writing both lyrics and music in the available spaces.
Writing numbered musical notation is even faster; it only takes a few minutes.
Wu Chen didn't stop there; he even wrote mixing scores and marked the instruments used in the mixing.
Song Xuan watched intently, his expression growing increasingly grim.
Although Wu Chen donated blood, Wu Chen expressed that he remembered it.
Song Xuan initially thought it was just a simple matter of memorizing lyrics, because the two met in a hurry, Wu Chen happened to be nearby but not at home, so he had to write it down on the spot.
But Wu Chen didn't just write long passages of lyrics; he also wrote the melody and musical score.
Even more frightening is that Wu Chen actually started writing mixing scores and directly labeled various instruments.
Mixing is a highly professional activity, distinct from songwriting and composition.
Mixing is usually finalized after the song has been decided to be produced, during the production process, and only in the later stages of production. It requires constant experimentation, adjustments, and countless recordings before the final result can be determined.
Wu Chen, however, wrote directly.
If it were a professional music producer, they might be able to write everything down from memory even if the original was lost, but the key is that it would be impossible to write it down so quickly without any pauses.
The mixing part, in particular, is very complex. It's impossible to remember every little detail so clearly; it requires repeated attempts to find the right balance.
Wu Chen, however, did not pause at all.
Song Xuan even felt that this senior named Wu Chen was just fooling him, thinking that he only had a little musical background and was just trying to mess with him.
Song Xuan had been tricked before, and influenced by her mother, she had a dream of music since she was a child. Although her mother, Wu Yurong, always opposed it, she did not forbid her from pursuing music as a hobby, because that was also her mother Wu Yurong's current hobby.
Song Xuan studied Business Administration at Donghai University at his mother's request, but he spent most of his spare time on music-related matters.
He loves writing songs and wants to become a singer, which is well-known at Donghai University.
Song Xuan started harvesting his music not long after he saw Donghai University, because Donghai University had a music academy with many professional students. He also wrote songs and anonymously posted them on various online music platforms, but none of them made a splash.
He understands perfectly well that if he reveals his face and releases songs, or even enters the live streaming industry, he can become famous very quickly.
But he didn't do that, firstly because his family wouldn't allow it, and secondly because he didn't want to become famous based on his looks. He wasn't short of money, and his love for music was pure and had nothing to do with money.
No matter how famous a singer is, they will never earn more money in their entire life than their family has.
He simply wanted to become a singer and have the public enjoy his voice.
He was very aware of how beautiful he was, and he understood it perfectly.
She's so beautiful; if she showed her face, no one would care about her singing.
She became famous, but only because of her good looks. She didn't want it to be like this. In the past two years, she has cut a lot of hair and harvested thousands of others. There are just too many to count.
Because of her beauty, many people wrote songs for her and wanted to sell them to her. They were mostly men, and he had been tricked more than once or twice in this matter of being exploited. Usually, they would write something casually in order to get close to him and then come to him to sell it. Some even offered to give it to him for free.
Song Xuan found these things annoying and thought those people were all so boring.
However, he has a good temper and has never gotten angry with anyone over this, since no one dares to bother him excessively.
At Donghai University, he was the kind of guy that no rich kids dared to pursue; the wealthier the family, the less he dared to approach.
He was afraid of being misunderstood because his mother, Wu Yurong, had told him not to date in college and to wait until after graduation.
Given Wu Yurong's temperament and style, he had already spoken out.
If they forbid their daughter from dating during college, then the other family members in the East Sea will naturally be warned by their families.
Don't be fooled by Song Xuan's good looks and go after him. If Wu Yurong finds out, it will be a big problem. It is precisely because the rich and powerful young masters in the university dare not approach Song Xuan easily that ordinary male students have the courage to approach Song Yongxuan Song Xuan the excuse to do so.
Wu Chen is still writing, and he writes incredibly fast; his handwriting is beautiful.
Finally, Wu Chen finished writing, put down his pen, looked up at Song Xuan, and handed him the notebook to take a look. Although he already felt that Wu Chen might be playing a trick on him, it would be wrong to make a conclusion before seeing what his brother was really like.
Song Xuan harbored doubts, but out of politeness, she maintained a sweet smile.
He took the notebook and began to read the contents.
The lyrics were very well written, and as for the melody, Song Xuan tried humming it in his head, and it was also quite good.
Judging a mix is difficult; you have to listen to the sound to assess it. Judging a mix solely from the text is extremely complex and hard to imagine.
Whether it's good or bad.
Not bad, absolutely great, better than most of the songs I've collected.
Song Xuan smiled and looked at Wu Chen, giving him a "good" evaluation, but also saying it was better than most of the songs he had collected.
Actually, this is a very high compliment.
If an average person or someone with a basic understanding of music theory reads Wu Chen's lyrics, they might think they are very well written. If they try humming the melody and look at the mixing, they will have a very impressive feeling, and might even feel inexplicably awe-inspiring.
This happens because you don't really understand it; the more you understand, the less you know.
Just like Wu Chen, many singers wrote a lot of songs before they became famous, and even tried to write songs for some singers to show to others, hoping to sell them and gain recognition. But the result was that the other party would not accept them, or even regard them as garbage.
But the end result was that the songwriter, unable to sell the songs, chose to sing them himself, and then became an overnight sensation, extremely popular, even reaching a phenomenal level, leading the pop music trend, and becoming a king of the Music Industry.
This actually happened, but we absolutely cannot use this incident to negate those who refuse to harvest the produce or to judge them as incompetent. That would be wrong.
On the contrary, those musicians who have already achieved great success truly possess high musical attainments.
That's why they've written so many songs, read so many lyrics, so many melodies, and seen so many people wanting to sell to them.
They had seen and listened to thousands of newly created songs, including demos.
Many of the works they considered good were not accepted by the public after their release and became extremely unsuccessful.
Successful music is never something that is only appreciated by the artist; it must be something that the artist likes and that the public also likes, otherwise it is a failure.
While Song Xun's musical appreciation level is far from that of a professional musician, he has really reaped too much in the past few years. He has seen too much and encountered some that he really liked and thought would definitely become famous, but all of them turned out to be complete failures. After being posted online, they didn't make a ripple at all.
Having suffered setbacks in the past, Song Xuan is unlikely to give any song a top-tier rating.
Song Xuan's reaction was exactly what Wu Chen expected; Wu Chen even knew what he was thinking at that moment.
Buy it?
Wu Chen smiled and asked directly.
Song Xuanwei hesitated.
He'll definitely buy any song he gives a good review, and that's how he is.
He's rich, he doesn't care how much he buys if he likes it.
Wu Chen then asked Song Xuan.
The Song army directly quoted a price of 1,000.
This isn't cheap. The snowman industry itself doesn't have a high barrier to entry. Composing music requires some professional knowledge, but writing lyrics requires absolutely nothing; anyone can write them, it's just a matter of good or bad.
This has led to too many people getting involved in this industry.
Leaving aside ordinary people, just consider the batches of people from various music academies across the country every year; almost all of them have done songwriting and song selling.
They wanted to sell their work to music companies, so they sent emails, but 99.9% of their submissions failed even the initial screening by the music companies.
Music companies receive a large number of these kinds of terrible lyrics and music every day, but only a very small number are accepted.
This situation has resulted in very low overall income for those pursuing a degree in the imperial examinations, as competition is extremely fierce.
A song with lyrics and music purchased from a music company usually costs around 5,000 yuan. Songs that sell for tens of thousands of yuan are exceptionally good and extremely rare.
Even professional lyricists and composers only earn tens of thousands of yuan for writing a song. Only some well-known lyricists and composers can make big money and even get a share of the profits after the song is released.
As for Song Xun, regardless of his family background, he was just a student. He earned 500 yuan at school, which used to be a normal award, but I did the mixing.
Wu Chen smiled and offered a reminder.
After thinking for a moment, Song Xuan raised the price to 2000.
He genuinely doesn't care about money, and of course he won't be taken advantage of.
Wu Chen smiled at Song Xuan, then remained silent.
3000?
Song Xuan understood Wu Chen's meaning and raised the price by another 100,000.
Wu Chen has submitted a quote.
Song Xuan was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard. Then he stared at Wu Chen with wide eyes, looking completely dumbfounded.
Did you hear that right?
It's impossible to mishear; Wu Chen actually quoted 100,000, a price that even established masters like Ci Que couldn't afford.
Senior, are you just messing with me?
After catching his breath, Song Xuan asked, "Do I look like a sucker?"
This concludes this episode. We hope you'll continue listening!
