I Really Didn’t Want to be a Savior

Chen Feng could see Zhong Lei's true thoughts.

She liked the song and wanted to sing it.

It’s not the kind of singing that involves singing a demo, but the kind of singing that uses her own understanding as the real singer of the song to interpret the true meaning of the song.

Because this song was written about her, after reading it, it had a fatal attraction to her like a bond.

So Zhong Lei kept forcing a smile during the meal, saying congratulations insincerely.

She was so frustrated that she was so easily offended when Chen Feng said he wanted to share her money.

Unknowingly, Chen Feng had been thinking in the room for an hour. He looked down at his watch and saw that it was already nine o'clock at night.

He came up with a decision.

Chen Feng took out his cell phone and found Zheng Rou's number.

"Sister Rou, excuse me."

Zheng Rou opposite seemed to be eating, and said vaguely: "What's the matter? Didn't I ask you to reply tomorrow?"

"Sister Rou, the song "Boring"..."

"Not for sale, right?"

"Ah? How did you know that?"

"What Weiwei said. If you didn't agree on the spot, then you probably wouldn't sell it. And Weiwei also said that you planned to let the girl who sang the demo sing, right?"

He is soft-spoken and short-handed in taking advantage of others. Others tried to help, but he refused the kindness of others. Now that his little thoughts were exposed on the spot, Chen Feng was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to answer.

"It's okay, you don't have to mind. Weiwei said that collecting songs is not a simple purchase and sale of goods, but more importantly, fate. Just like when a man and a woman fall in love, being beautiful does not necessarily mean they are suitable. The important thing is that they are compatible with each other. Just like your honey, His arsenic.”

"When listening to the demo, Weiwei felt that the owner of that voice was the most suitable person for this song, and Chen Li was just the second best choice."

"I believe you also feel this way after hearing this. Of course, since we promised you that we would help you, we can't break our promise, so we didn't take the initiative to mention it to you. Now that you realize it yourself, of course it's best."

"Chen Feng, let me tell you one more thing. Weiwei also said that if you finally decide to sell the song to Chen Li, she will actually be quite disappointed with you. Because it shows that you are only good at creating, but not good at giving yourself Find the best sound for your piece.”

"Okay, I'm still outside filming the MV with Weiwei, so I'll hang up now. I'll get back to Chen Li as soon as possible. This is a very common phenomenon in the industry, so you don't have to feel any psychological burden."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng was silent for a long time.

He really didn't expect that Lu Wei, who was obviously Zhong Lei's loser, would have such strong musical literacy.

Thinking about it carefully, Lu Wei seems to have only lost to Zhong Lei in this era.

Looking at Lu Wei's achievements in her life, if Zhong Lei hadn't been so dazzling at the same time, she would have been the most accomplished female singer in the past few decades.

You really can't look down on anyone.

Chen Feng took a deep breath, went upstairs and knocked on the door.

Zhong Lei ignored him.

Chen Feng shouted outside the door: "I just replied to the other party that I will not sell this song. I want to sing it for you."

"What!"

Zhong Lei opened the door fiercely, "Are you crazy?"

It turned out that she had been standing at the door.

Chen Feng shook his head, "I'm not crazy, I'm very sane."

"Did you take the wrong medicine? Chen Li has been popular recently. You know what it means to you if your song is successfully sold to Chen Li, right? This means that you are in the house from now on. From now on, you only have to be yourself If you work harder, you will continue to receive invitations to sing."

"I know, but it doesn't matter."

"I'm just a newcomer with no reputation at all. It's a waste of money for me to sing this song, and it won't help you at all. Besides, I can't afford it."

Chen Feng shook his head, "The song is popular, you are popular, and so am I. Although whether a song is popular or not has a certain relationship with the singer's fame, that is not the decisive factor. What is more important is the quality of the song itself. How about it. In my opinion, you are the most suitable singer for this song. Don’t you have confidence in yourself? Do you really think that the effect of your singing is not as good as Chen Li? Others are more popular than you now, so you have such low self-esteem that you can only Looking up to others? Are you doubting yourself? So what gave you the courage to drop out of school in the first place? Isn't it absolute confidence?"

Chen Feng fired several questions one after another, leaving Zhong Lei silent.

Zhong Lei took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Do you really think so?"

She was shaken.

"Well, I already felt that way when I heard you practicing singing."

"Thank you for your recognition, but I really can't afford two hundred thousand now. Also, even if I buy your song, I can't make it."

Chen Feng thought for a while and said, "You sing, we will do it ourselves, just singles. Then we will publish it on the platform and use paid downloads."

Zhong Lei shook her head.

"This is unrealistic. Today's listeners only listen to songs for free, and the habit of paying has not yet been developed. Unless they are loyal and die-hard, few people will pay to download. Even new songs by well-known artists require free membership, let alone a pure newcomer. No one will give me money for the single I release.”

Chen Feng shook his head, "Just because others can't do it doesn't mean you can't do it."

In fact, five years later, "Boring" was Zhong Lei's debut. It was she who recorded it herself, posted it on the platform, and quickly became a viral sensation. It became popular all over the country in a short period of time, which allowed her to quickly transform. .

Of course, at that time, many people thought she was just a short-lived Internet singer. No one expected that she actually had a lot of experience and turned into a dragon as soon as she entered the limelight.

Before becoming famous, Zhong Lei herself didn't think much about it.

She was just unwilling to give in and put all her strength into the final struggle, and finally succeeded.

Now Chen Feng has advanced this time by a few years. She has not experienced so much yet, and has not yet reached the point where she is completely at the end of her rope. Naturally, she has more concerns about turning the corner.

Sure enough, Zhong Lei asked blankly: "How much do you believe in my ability? Have you ever heard me sing a complete song once?"

Chen Feng suddenly became alert, almost revealing his secret.

He simply smiled mysteriously and pointed to his head, "Intuition. My intuition tells me that this is the best answer. If you don't try it, how can you know the result? At worst, we can also use the free model and share it according to the traffic. "

"The proportion of traffic sharing is very low. You can't make back 200,000 yuan by doing this."

Zhong Lei thought carefully about the feasibility of Chen Feng's proposal for a moment and finally said.

Chen Feng shook his head carelessly, "Fame is money. If I sing it for you, the copyright of the song is still mine. No matter how low the platform share ratio is, as long as the song becomes popular and has a big enough reputation, I will sell the song next time. It’s not the price of 200,000 yuan. Regardless of whether you or anyone else wants to use this song for commercial purposes or perform it on any medium, you still have to pay me."

"But if I sell it to Chen Li, the copyright will no longer be mine. I can't even be sure whether she will sign it for me, and I won't have a share in the subsequent income. I let you sing, but I have a longer-term consideration."

In order to persuade Zhong Lei to let go of his grudge, Chen Feng found ten thousand reasons for himself to persuade her.

She really believed it, "Is this your real plan?"

Chen Feng smiled and said, "If you want to understand it that way, that's fine."

After the agreement was reached, the two took action immediately and worked together to make a careful calculation.

Chen Feng didn't know the specific steps very well, so he let her figure it out.

Zhong Lei did the math, "I only have 50,000 yuan in savings. But then I will need to spend more than 100,000 yuan to find someone to arrange the music. Guitar accompaniment alone will definitely not be enough. Then the accompaniment production and mastering in the studio will also cost about 100,000 yuan." It will cost about 100,000 yuan. A total of 200,000 yuan will be needed."

Chen Feng interrupted her, "No need to arrange the music. I've finished it. I have the complete score here."

"Ah?" Zhong Lei was dumbfounded, "How many musical instruments are there in total?"

Chen Feng started to count his fingers, "Guitar, bass, drums, piano, chimes, organ, harmonica... twelve types."

Hissing and gasping sounds filled the room one after another. Zhong Lei looked Chen Feng up and down with extremely suspicious eyes to make sure he was not talking nonsense.

"You did it all?"

Chen Fengtian nodded shamelessly, "Yes."

"You really are not the second generation from a musical family. Have you never studied before?"

Chen Feng asked, "Why should I brag with you?"

Zhong Lei turned away and said, "I'm convinced."
