Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Meng Chuan was also surprised to find the union's recording studio brightly lit.

Moreover, Huo Wanxi was humming softly into the microphone.

A sweet voice mixed with electronic sound effects could be heard faintly behind the soundproof glass.

"She has to attend classes during the day, so she can only work overtime at night."

Zheng Muchen handed Meng Chuan a cup of coffee and explained:

"Old Xiao's team just arrived and is still getting used to each other."

Huo Wanxi is, after all, a live streamer; she can't rely on her looks to chat in the live stream forever.

That won't last long.

You definitely need to have some talent to avoid causing audience fatigue.

Therefore, after Zheng Muchen returned from Douyin with the contract...

Training with Huo Wanxi will begin immediately.

Meng Chuan nodded and stood in front of the huge glass window outside the recording studio.

Watching Huo Wanxi singing with complete absorption.

This glass window allows you to see inside from the outside.

However, Huo Wanxi inside cannot see outside.

This is to prevent distractions during recording.

Huo Wanxi wore a white sweatshirt, her ponytail swaying gently with the rhythm, looking completely different from her youthful self during the live stream.

"Her voice..."

Meng Chuan suddenly spoke:

"I do think of a song that would be perfect for her to sing."

As Meng Chuan listened, a sudden inspiration flashed in his mind.

"What song? Who sings it?"

Zheng Muchen asked curiously.

"Uh... no one sings it, so it's my original."

Meng Chuan realized what was happening.

This song is of the sweet type, but it is not expected to be released until 2018.

Then, its popularity after its release was no less than that of the most popular song at the time, "Little Apple".

"Original content? Do you have samples?"

A teacher who was operating the recording equipment looked at Meng Chuan suspiciously.

He didn't recognize Meng Chuan, and he was wearing a mask!

I thought Meng Chuan was a professional lyricist hired by Zheng Muchen.

"This is Lao Xiao, a professional recording engineer. I spent a lot of money to bring his entire team here."

Zheng Muchen introduced it to Meng Chuan.

"Hello, what's a sample?"

Meng Chuan greeted him and asked with a wry smile.

In music, Meng Chuan is a complete novice.

How can I understand these technical terms?

"Uh? It's a piece of music!"

Old Xiao looked at Meng Chuan strangely, then at Zheng Muchen.

"Don't look at me, this is the boss."

Zheng Muchen coughed lightly and quickly brought up Meng Chuan's identity.

In fact, Zheng Muchen had not expected that Meng Chuan would be such an "idiot" when it came to music.

Even so, Meng Chuan still claimed that he could write songs.

Zheng Muchen was speechless.

"Oh! It's the boss! Write down the sheet music and let me take a look."

Old Xiao's attitude changed immediately.

There was no way around it; although his team was renowned in the industry.

But Zheng Muchen gave a lot!

When facing his boss, Lao Xiao felt it was best to show him respect.

"I don't know how to read sheet music."

Meng Chuan scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

Old Xiao's smile instantly froze on his face.

Two women nearby, responsible for recording and making adjustments, were also looking at Meng Chuan with strange expressions.

This is nonsense!

You can't even read sheet music, and you dare to say you have an original song?

"Don't worry, I'll write down the lyrics and hum them to you."

Meng Chuan hurriedly said.

There were paper and pens right next to it.

Meng Chuan immediately ran over and wrote down the lyrics from his memory.

Seeing Meng Chuan writing lyrics with his back to them, Lao Xiao quietly tugged at Zheng Muchen:

"Old Zheng, my team are professionals. I don't have time to play house with rich kids!"

Old Xiao was truly impressed.

If it weren't for the high salaries Zheng Muchen paid to his team...

He really wanted to quit and leave.

Humph for me? Is that something a human being would say?

"Well... let's try first. If it really doesn't work, I'll try to persuade him."

Zheng Muchen had a long face.

When Meng Chuan said he was going to write a song last time, Zheng Muchen had already given up hope.

Now Meng Chuan doesn't even know how to read sheet music. If it weren't for the fact that Meng Chuan gave him 100 million, he would be in trouble.

He also wanted to swear.

Professional tasks should be handled by professionals.

You're giving up your perfectly good research work to write songs.

Isn’t this what you feel after eating enough?

"All right."

Meng Chuan handed Lao Xiao a piece of paper covered with song lyrics.

Looking at the lyrics on the paper, Lao Xiao's eyes lit up.

It's not because the lyrics are particularly good.

It's truly a pleasure to look at Meng Chuan's slender gold calligraphy.

"These characters are so beautiful, I feel like I've seen them somewhere before."

Old Xiao was initially in a bad mood, but seeing Meng Chuan's name cheered him up considerably.

"Excuse me."

Meng Chuan said politely.

However, Lao Xiao, who should have been in a better mood, took a closer look at the lyrics.

His face turned completely dark.

"This……"

Old Xiao's mouth twitched:

"Boss, are you sure this isn't a kindergarten nursery rhyme?"

Meng Chuan was also a little embarrassed; the lyrics were indeed a bit childish.

"Ahem... Let me sing it once first, just to give you a preview!"

As Meng Chuan spoke, he immediately began to sing:

Let's learn to meow together.

Meow meow meow meow meow

Act like a baby in front of you

oops meow meow meow meow

My heart is pounding.

Falling in love with your bad smile

If you don't say you love me, I'll meow meow meow.

……

However, Meng Chuan sang a cappella, his pitch not very good, but his voice was truly clear.

The entire recording studio seemed to be filled with the sweet scent of romance.

The two female sound engineers' fingers unconsciously tapped the table in rhythm.

Until Meng Chuan finished singing.

Outside the recording studio, there were Lao Xiao, Zheng Muchen, and the two female sound engineers.

They were all stunned, staring blankly at Meng Chuan.

"This... did you really write this?"

Old Xiao stared at Meng Chuan in shock.

In his 30 years in the industry, he had never seen such a "viral melody".

The chords are so simple that they seem to be etched into your DNA after just one listen.

"This song is addictive! My head is filled with 'meow meow meow'!"

A female sound engineer suddenly stood up, both amused and exasperated.

"Me too!"

Another sound engineer covered his face, looking distressed:

"But I hate pop songs the most! I... I can actually sing them."

In fact, true musicians don't like songs that lack depth.

Especially after 2022, those so-called viral internet hits.

Many professional songwriters scoffed at this.

However, it is undeniable that...

These catchy pop songs, despite lacking depth, achieve widespread popularity much faster and better.

It even became so popular that no one dared to imagine it.

Meng Chuan's rendition of "Learn to Meow" is a prime example of this.

Whether you're old or young, you can easily catch the song after hearing it just once.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this song?"

Meng Chuan doesn't understand pop songs or the depth and shallowness of music.

All he knew was that this song would definitely be a huge hit and make him a lot of money.

It swept across various music charts back then and even sparked a nationwide craze for cuteness.

Cats are meowing everywhere in the streets and alleys.

After 2018, many female live streamers on live streaming platforms said they were sick of singing this song.

But the fans just couldn't resist listening.

"No problem, the melody of this song is light and lively, and the rhythm is catchy. It's just the lyrics..."

Old Xiao said with some pain:

"Fine! Water it is! Maybe little girls these days like this sweet feeling?"

Meng Chuan nodded in satisfaction. As expected of a professional, his comments were very insightful.

Meng Chuan thought for a moment and then added:

"However, this song is a duet, which I think suits Huo Wanxi better. As for the male singer, you can find a suitable partner, and let's consider this song as their signature song!"

Zheng Muchen's eyes lit up:

"President Meng, why don't you give it a try with Huo Wanxi?"

"I can not."

Meng Chuan quickly shook his head; he still needed to study!

"Mr. Meng, give it a try! Where can we find someone to pair with her right now? The melody of this song is very simple, I can produce it right away, go and try it out and let me see the effect."

Old Xiao hurriedly said.

"This..." "Readers, thank you for reading. Starting today, I will strive to update more than 10,000 words a day. Please vote for me. This book is currently participating in the update ranking competition, so please help me by urging me to update more. Thank you to all my godfathers and godmothers."
