Make Her Realize What She Missed!
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.
Wu Chen's asking price can only be described as extremely exaggerated and unbelievable. If he were a lyricist and composer who had already written hit songs and was already famous, it would be understandable for him to ask for this price. Even if the price was high, it would be understandable if he saw that Song Xuan's family was rich and didn't care about money, so he asked for more because he was just doing it for fun.
But Wu Chen was a recent college graduate from Donghai University, and he wrote the song using Computer Science. Yet he casually wrote a song and dared to ask for 100,000 yuan, which was 100 times the initial price quoted by Song Xuan. This made Song Xuan think that Wu Chen was not crazy, but just playing him for a fool.
100,000?
Wu Chen smiled and repeated himself, then said, "Classmate Song, you just need to tell me whether you accept it or not. There's nothing to discuss here. I have several other songs that are also priced the same, and of course I don't accept them."
Song Xuan said.
He still had a good temper. Although he was certain that Wu Chen was playing a trick on him, he didn't show any fear, only his smile faded a little.
Then there's nothing more to discuss.
As Wu Chen spoke, he gestured to Song Xuan.
Give me the notebook.
Song Xuan was surprised. They're not going to talk about it anymore?
Is this some kind of feigned indifference tactic?
In Song Xuan's legacy, everyone who comes to mess with him ultimately aims to get close to him and become his acquaintance.
So no matter what happened, none of them took the initiative to end the conversation with him.
If he doesn't say he's done talking, the other person will act like they'll chat with him forever.
Writing songs for him and wanting to sell them to him was just a way to get close to him, a pretext to talk to him.
With a surprised expression, Song Xuan handed the notebook back to Wu Chen. Wu Chen took it and wanted to tear up the song he had written, but stopped himself just as he was about to.
I don't think Classmate Song is the kind of person who would plagiarize. Although we've only just officially met, there's still some trust between us.
Wu Chen smiled, closed the notebook, and handed it back to Song Xuan.
I won't tear any more pages; the molecular structure is fine, but tearing off two pages would ruin it.
Wu Chen stood up and said, "That's settled then."
The book king smiled and turned to leave.
They really left, without saying a single unnecessary word.
Song Xuan stared blankly at Wu Chen's departing figure, watched Wu Chen push open the door and leave the coffee shop, and finally pulled up the mask on his chin, muttering "weirdo."
He looked down at the notebook in his hand, opened it and read Wu Chen's song again. It was really good, like the other good songs he had mentioned before, with various merits, but that was about it. No one can accurately control the public's taste.
Whether a song can succeed depends on whether the public likes it; whether the song is good or not is secondary, or rather, just a possible foundation for success.
Therefore, although Song Xuan thought Wu Chen's song was good, he didn't think it would become popular, or rather, the chances of it becoming popular were extremely low.
He had been disappointed too many times to even dare to hope anymore.
He wouldn't accept a drug price of 100,000 no matter what, and of course he certainly wouldn't plagiarize it; he'd just keep it in his notebook for a second look.
However, what Song Xuan didn't know was that Wu Chen's "Heart's Remedy" was guaranteed to become a hit, and it would be an overnight sensation. It was completely certain that Bi Hong had tested it because of Wu Chen.
Wu Chen was once trapped on July 7, with 1000 years of rentals and 365,000 properties. He has done almost everything, and naturally he has thought about becoming a star, even if it's just for a day, since it's the most he can be Reset to in a single day.
To this end, Wu Chen studied music and popular singing techniques. Then he started releasing songs online like crazy. He initially released his famous songs from his previous life, those classic songs that had become memories for a generation. He used them directly, but the results were beyond his expectations. Some of them became popular on the same day, while others did not. Ten factors, such as the need for time to ferment, all affected whether a song could become popular quickly.
After that, Wu Chen started writing and releasing his own songs. He learned about songs from Reincarnation and could both write and sing them.
Being stuck in the same day was so boring, so he started trying things out to kill time.
A very interesting experiment was to quickly write down all the songs I had conceived the day before each morning after the Reset, then find a professional recording studio to record them immediately, and release them on major music platforms across the internet at noon.
After that, it was just a matter of waiting for the results and checking the data on various platforms. Since one day was too short to generate enough buzz, Wu Chen took the initiative to speed things up. His method was simple: he found some influential music figures and music connoisseurs on the internet, paid them to share and recommend his content.
This is a normal promotional tactic. Even superstars need to promote their albums. During that period, Wu Chen released a huge number of songs. Writing songs was a great way to pass the time, and he wrote a lot. At one point, when his inspiration was at its peak, he could write more than a dozen songs a day.
Sometimes when my thinking is off, I can't even finish writing the lyrics to one song in a day.
If we include catchy pop songs with simple lyrics and melodies, Wu Chen composed over 3,000 songs during that Reincarnation of time.
Most of these 3,000-plus songs barely made a ripple after their release, mainly because of the short time allotted. After deducting the recording time, they were given less than a day to gain traction.
Some songs might become popular over time, but Wuchen, trapped in the cycle of Reincarnation, has no future and cannot see it, so most of his songs never become popular.
There are also some popular ones, a total of 67 songs.
The experiment showed that out of the more than 3,000 songs written by Wu Chen, a total of 67 songs became viral online in less than a day. This is a very high percentage, because it's not about becoming famous overnight, but about becoming famous in a single day. These are two completely different concepts. No matter how great a musician is, even if they have produced thousands of songs and are among the top artists of their time, they wouldn't dare say that they have a few songs that became viral in a single day.
Celebrities like Chow Yun-fat are not considered famous, because celebrities bring their own massive following. Whether someone can create a song like Yi Tianhong's is basically a matter of luck, with a probability lower than winning the lottery jackpot.
Therefore, Wu Chen's proportion of Yi Tianhong is not just high, it can even be described as terrifyingly high.
The reason for this is not because Wu Chen's creative level is superior to Earth or has broken through the heavens, but because he Reincarnation on the same day and, through the process of experimentation, increasingly understood what kind of songs the public liked to listen to on July 7, 2020.
He has a deep understanding of the current public's musical preferences.
In other words, while other musicians simply cannot guarantee or predict what type, style, lyrics, or melody the public would actually like, Wu Chen knew.
Of course, Yi Tianhong was still too demanding, so even though Wu Chen's success rate was higher in the later stages of the experiment, it was still impossible for him to be 100% successful, as there were too many influencing factors.
There are a total of 67 songs by Yi Tianhong, and "Heart's Remedy" is one of them.
Song Xuan had no idea what he had missed.
After leaving the coffee shop, Wu Chen went directly back to the underground parking lot of Block 7 in the CBD, and then drove away in his Lamborghini.
After driving the car out of the underground parking garage, Wu Chen, who was driving with one hand, made a phone call. The other party answered quickly, "Hello, Flicker Music."
The person who answered the phone was a very polite young man, an employee of a recording studio called Flicker Music Studio.
This studio specializes in recording, with a full set of imported equipment. It's extremely professional, and of course, the price is high.
This studio is located in the East Sea, and it's the recording studio that Wu Chen rents most often during his Reincarnation.
Wu Chen is going to record a song, and he wants to release it anonymously, today, right now!
Wu Chen wanted to make Song Xuan understand what he had missed, so that Song Xuan would come to him on his own initiative, or even become shameless and persistent.
Sabu rolled around on the ground, acting cute and pitiful as he begged for help.
I need to record a song; I'll rent the place for 3 hours.
Wu Chen spoke directly into the phone.
Oh, excuse me, sir, there's a band playing.
The other party sounded very apologetic, so I gave them ten times the effort.
Wu Chen interrupted.
Okay, sir, when will you arrive? We'll arrange it for you right away.
Around 2 p. m., at the Siye Building on Huijin West Road in Donghai City, a somewhat old office building, the Flicker Studio is located.
Wu Chen parked his car in a parking space outside the office building and then went straight inside.
Because it's an old office building, the management isn't very strict. As long as you're not moving things from upstairs to downstairs, the security guards won't interfere or ask any questions.
After taking the elevator to the Eighth Floor, Wu Chen quickly arrived at the studio door and went straight in.
Flicker Studio is very large. Although there is only one recording studio, both the decoration and the equipment used are top-notch in the East Sea and can be compared with the recording studios of some major music companies.
This results in very high fees.
Recording studios charge by the hour, usually a few hundred yuan per hour. But Weishan charges 1800 yuan per hour, and that's for individual recordings. If a symphony orchestra or orchestra is recording, the price per hour will exceed 5000 yuan.
Wu Chen directly offered 10 times the price: 18,000 for one hour and 54,000 for three hours. This was nothing to Wu Chen, who had tens of millions in his bank account.
When Wu Chen entered the studio, all the studio staff were already waiting for Wu Chen and were fully prepared.
This high-end recording studio has all kinds of professionals, such as sound engineers and mixing engineers. Wu Chen doesn't need to bring anyone; he just needs to tell them what to do.
After Wu Chen rewrote the lyrics, music, and mixing for Dong Xuan, the recording officially began.
Soon it was 5 p. m., Wu Chen walked out of the studio after finishing recording the song. He had two more things in his hands: a USB flash drive and a Blu-ray CD with a protective case.
The USB drive and CD were both gifts from the studio, and they both contained songs recorded by Wu Chen. Apart from the difference in their level, there was no difference between them.
After going downstairs and getting into the car, Wu Chen put his things down before taking out his phone and turning it on.
His phone was turned off when the actual recording started, and he only turned it back on now.
After turning on the phone, several text messages immediately arrived, all of which were reminders that someone had called.
Wu Chen flipped through the list casually and found three people. Judging from their numbers, they had called him when his phone was off: Li Ruobing, Su Qingying, Mu Qianqian.
Wu Chen drove off and called Li Ruobin back first.
Why did you just turn off your phone?
As soon as the call connected, Li Ruobing asked Wu Chen directly without waiting for him to speak.
Take advantage of the busy time.
Wu Chen replied with a smile.
What are you busy with?
With whom?
Song Xuan?
Li Ruobing asked again.
No, are you busy with something else?
Wu Chen replied with another laugh, then asked listlessly, "What do you think I'm doing?"
With Song Xuan?
We broke up a long time ago. Do you think I'm still with him?
Li Ruobin was relieved. Ever since Wu Chen left him to go find Song Xuan, he had been worried that he couldn't stop Wu Chen, but he was also afraid that Wu Chen would cause trouble.
Now Wu Chen says they broke up a long time ago, and he believes him. He doesn't think Wu Chen would lie to him about something like this.
Qingying tried to contact you, but couldn't get through, so she called me instead.
Li Ruobing promptly changed the subject.
Yes, I know.
Wu Chen replied.
It's okay, I have to work overtime tonight.
Li Ruobing didn't say anything more. He wanted to ask Wu Chen and Song Yongxuan how far things had progressed, but once he found out Wu Chen wouldn't tell him, he stopped asking.
After ending the call with Li Ruobin, Wu Chen called Su Qingying.
Honey, why did you turn your phone off?
Busy?
Yes, I've taken care of Qianqian's matter.
How was it done?
Su Qingying explained the situation.
The fact that Mu Qingqing is to be sent abroad to study is actually a very difficult matter to handle, because it is Mu Sihai's family matter, Mu Qianqian is still in school, and no one else has a say in this matter.
However, it wasn't unsolvable. Su Qingying used a very simple method: she arranged for Mu Qianqian to intern at Jinfu. Of course, it wasn't a formal internship, since Mu Qianqian would still be in school afterward and would only have time during the summer vacation. It was essentially like a high school student working a summer job, but her position was extremely high; she became the assistant to the Executive Vice President of Jinfu Group.
The reason Mu Sihai sent his daughter abroad was because Mu Qianqian was too wild and always caused trouble, even serious trouble.
If Mu Qianqian can behave herself, she definitely won't be sent off anymore; getting a summer job would be a great solution.
More importantly, they were interning alongside Su Qingying, so no one dared to disrespect Su Qingying.
Therefore, this matter is not only about Mu Qingtian getting back to work, but also an opportunity for Mu Si to further strengthen his relationship with the Su Family.
Su Qingying said that he had met with Mu Sihai this afternoon and they had talked.
Mu Si also expressed extreme surprise that his daughter could have such a relationship with Su Qingying.
Su Qingying didn't Mu Qingqing's trip abroad, nor did Mu Sihai.
He readily agreed to Mu Qingqing's short-term internship at Jinfu, and even told Mo Qianqian in front of Su Qingye to study hard, saying how rare such an opportunity was.
As a highly regarded and talented businesswoman, Mu Sihai was also very willing to let her daughter learn from such a woman.
Honey, how did it go?
After finishing her sentence, Su Qingying asked a final question, her tone suggesting she was waiting for Wu Chen's praise.
That's great, Jin Ying is really amazing.
Wu Chen made a compliment.
Su Qingying is truly wise. What she did seemed to give the Mo family and the Su Family an opportunity to strengthen their relationship, but conversely, it was also an opportunity for her to build her own independent and powerful network of connections.
Hearing Wu Chen's praise, Su Qingying smiled, a very happy smile, and even said, "My husband is even more amazing."
Then she whispered, "Honey, I can't come to see you today. I have to go home. I can't be away from home every day; people will get suspicious."
It's okay, I just happened to be busy.
Wu Chen smiled and asked, "Is Qianqian still with you?"
Yes, she's studying very diligently. I had my secretary mentor her.
He seemed afraid of being asked how his work was going when he got home, and he wouldn't be able to say anything, so he chatted with Su Qingying for a couple more minutes.
Wu Chen hung up, but didn't call Mu Qingqing again.
He called Su Qingying earlier about something, and now that he's finished talking, Su Qing will tell him too.
After putting away his phone, Wu Chen stepped on the gas and sped home.
Brother Fa, a little over ten minutes later, Wu Chen, who was driving, frowned slightly and glanced at the rearview mirror. He noticed that a car was following them.
This wasn't the first time Wu Chen had felt he was being followed today, but he still couldn't be completely sure.
At this moment, he finally realized that although the other party had changed cars, Wu Chen had seen through their habitual tracking of driving patterns—they were experts!
The expert who has mastered top-notch tracking skills is not one of the fools under Wang Zhuangyan's command, and the fact that Wu Chen doesn't recognize the other party means that it is definitely not from the East Sea.
Therefore, Wu Chen was able to determine that it was Ding Ruilong who sent them.
The fact that someone from outside would follow him like this suggests that it could only be Ding Ruilong. Meng Junhao should know about this, but Wu Chen said that even if he knew, he didn't need to tell him. He just needed to do what Ding Runlong told him to do. He sent people to cooperate with Ding Runlong's confidants. Weren't they coming soon without any prior notice?
Wu Chen smiled as he thought about it, not intending to shake off the other person, though Zhuangzi was unaware of this.
More than half an hour later, Wu Chen returned to his home in East Sea Splendor.
We're not going to the old house today; there are no computers there.
Back at the Villa, Wu Chen went into the study and turned on the high-spec computer that Li Ruotai had prepared but never used. After some operation, he released his newly recorded single, "Heart's Remedy," on major music platforms across the internet. The accounts were all newly registered, and the stage name for the song was Chen Wu, which is the reverse of Wu Chen's name.
Afterwards, Wu Chen sent private messages to some music influencers on various public media platforms. Some of them did not reply to Wu Chen immediately, so Wu Chen called them directly to discuss business cooperation related to promotion.
After finishing everything around 7 p. m., Wu Chen ordered takeout and ate dinner, then went to the basement gym to work out.
Around 10 p. m., Wu Chen, who had just showered, returned to the study in a bathrobe to check his computer. After a quick check, Wu Chen smiled again as he looked at the detailed data in the account backend. The data was exploding!
This concludes this episode. We hope you'll continue listening!
