Huayu 2007, Cultivation Superstar

Chapter 25 God-given idol singer

……

Lu Feng enjoyed a delicious meal of mutton pilaf at Reba's house.

Seeing that Lu Feng had finished eating, Reba brought him a cup of Fuzhuan tea and at the same time enthusiastically inquired about Lu Feng's situation in the company.

"Lu Feng, how do you feel about your first day at the company?"

"Don't mention it. It almost exhausted me to death."

Today, Lu Feng first practiced the special training plan made for him by Daolang from beginning to end under the supervision of Yun Duo.

This made him exhausted.

Next, Yun Duo falsely conveyed the imperial decree and asked Lu Feng to try to compose the music himself.

Originally, Yun Duo just wanted to see if Lu Feng had the ability to compose music. It was just a joke.

Who knew that this guy Lu Feng would be so surprising.

When Yun Duo came back from outside, Lu Feng had almost finished arranging the two songs "Why Not" and "Guest".

Moreover, he also received praise from Daolang.

This time, Yun Duo was really overjoyed.

After all, Lu Feng’s musical talent is so amazing. As her senior sister and the guide of the sect, she will definitely have countless original songs to sing in the future!

However, Yun Duo was happy. Lu Feng was exhausted after the day.

"It's not easy to be a professional singer. Lu Feng, if you dare to give up halfway, I will never let you go."

Reba bared her teeth and made a few movements towards Lu Feng.

This was the opportunity she gave up to go to Tsinghua University, in exchange for Lu Feng's invitation card to enter the Chinese music scene. If Lu Feng dared to give it up easily, she would definitely be furious.

"How could I give up halfway? Don't worry, I will definitely make a name for myself in this life."

"In a few years, if I have the opportunity to hold a concert, I will be in the front row, always keeping the best seat for you, and listen to you until you want to vomit."

Reba kept shouting that Lu Feng should surpass Jay Chou, and then said that she must listen to Lu Feng's concert in her lifetime.

Before this, Lu Feng didn’t take it seriously.

Because he never thought of becoming a singer.

After all, this path is so difficult. He has tried it before and it didn't work at all.

Who knew, it really came true!
The person he is most grateful to, besides Daolang, is Reba!
In this era, most singers sign contracts that are very strenuous. When they create their own original songs, the copyright belongs to the company, and they are purely making money for the company.

What’s the point if singers can only earn a few dollars?
Lu Feng would never do such a thing.

After all, he is not the kind of saint who selflessly devotes himself to love.

But Daolang's agency and Li Songqiang both value him very much and the contract they signed is very lenient.

This also gave Lu Feng an urge to achieve something in his life.

Although he said that he no longer loved music, he still couldn't help but play the guitar and sing a song every day.

Music is almost ingrained in his genes.

Want to give up?

I didn’t do it in my previous life.

Of course it is impossible in this life.

"Reba, how are you doing in the dance troupe? Are you being bullied?"

In Daolang's studio, the eldest senior brother and the second senior sister were collecting materials somewhere, and Lu Feng hadn't even seen their shadows.

Currently, there are only two singers in the studio: Daolang and Yunduo.

The rest of the staff were Daolang's partners for many years. When they learned that Lu Feng was Daolang's new student, they showed great care and concern for him.

Lu Feng did not encounter any workplace bullying.

However, it is hard to say about Reba's situation in the song and dance troupe. After all, it is a public institution and seniority-based promotion is common.

"How could I be bullied? Don't forget who my father is."

Reba snorted softly, and a hint of pride flashed across her face when she mentioned Teacher Murati. "I almost forgot. Teacher Murati also works in your song and dance troupe. So, you got in through the back door thanks to your father's connections."

"Nonsense. What do you mean by backdoor? I rely on my own strength, okay?"

Reba hated being told that she got things done through the back door. Although she knew Lu Feng was joking, she still defended herself seriously.

"Lu Feng, this is the little nut cake from our cafeteria. It tastes great. I took an extra one while no one was paying attention and I'll give it to you to try."

The two chatted for a while, and Reba smiled and brought a beautiful little cake from the room.

Lu Feng originally wanted to retort, "Do you think I am you, a greedy old man?"
But when he saw Reba's bright eyes, he didn't say this after all. Instead, he tasted it, and then his eyes lit up and he praised it repeatedly.

"This tastes absolutely amazing. I'll give you more next time."

Hearing that Lu Feng also liked to eat it, Reba immediately laughed and said that she would take a few more tomorrow, but she couldn’t take too many. It would be embarrassing if the cafeteria aunt found out.

The two of them played around for a while, and Lu Feng saw that it was getting late, so he said goodbye and went home to sleep.

"Lu Feng, come on and sing..."

"Got it, surpass Jaylen!"

……

Lu Feng went to Daolang's studio to practice, and spent two days recording the two songs "Why Not" and "Guest".

As for the later stage, it will take some time to produce.

However, before that, Li Songqiang said that he had contacted the filming team and asked Lu Feng to shoot a few shots for the MV.

"Uncle Li, we're filming the music video before we've even finished recording the song? What if the song flopped? Wouldn't that be a waste of money?"

In this era, song copyrights don’t make any money at all, and many song MVs are just a mess of cutting a few shots together.

Only songs that are already trending towards popularity will have an MV re-shot.

Lu Feng himself doesn’t know whether "Guest" can become popular. After all, the song "Guest" only became popular after 2020.

As the saying goes, being one step ahead is a genius, being ten steps ahead is a madman.

The most popular love songs this year are "Damn Tenderness", "There is a Kind of Love Called Letting Go", and "Has Anyone Told You".

In Lu Feng’s opinion, these three songs are all catchy songs with nice melodies and strong rhythms, but the lyrics lack any profound meaning.

After listening to it, I only remember the simple melody, but I don’t remember the lyrics at all, and there is no emotional resonance in my heart.

Of course, this is not to say that these songs are low-level, but that each era has its own different musical aesthetics.

As long as a song becomes popular and is liked by the public, it is a success.

The song "Guest" is a typical narrative song, but relatively speaking, the melody is not that strong.

In this era, Lu Feng really has no idea whether he can become popular.

"I'm not afraid of failure, so what are you afraid of? If 'The Guest' doesn't work, let's make a new song. It will become a hit sooner or later."

"But, we can't save money on the music video."

In Li Songqiang's opinion, Lu Feng is too modest.

If "The Guest" doesn't become popular, he will wash his hair upside down!

The most important thing is to shoot an MV.

Let everyone see how explosive the stage charm of Lu Feng, the soulful music prince, is... The song will most likely be a small hit, but he will make the MV look like an idol drama.

In short, Lu Feng must be more popular than his songs.

Song is the medium.

The singer Lu Feng is the treasure he wants people to see.

Musical genius, melancholic prince.

He is 18 years old and comes from a scholarly family. Both his parents are teachers. He has been an excellent student since childhood and has never been late or left early, let alone any other black history!

Such a high-quality idol is simply the best gift God has given him!
Li Songqiang was determined to treat Lu Feng as the next Daolang.
