Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Dean Zuo Silan asked Meng Chuan to go on stage and sing.

Meng Chuan knew his own limitations.

Even if his voice is nice, high notes are definitely not his forte.

Therefore, the song "Rare Characters" was definitely tailor-made for him.

The melody of the whole song is relatively stable, and the rhythm is also very regular.

Unlike some songs, where a single lyric has as many as 99 eighty-one trills.

However, after the chords are played...

Watching Meng Chuan singing his heart out in the recording studio.

Everyone was looking at Meng Chuan as if he were a monster.

Especially during the chorus:

Alone and utterly isolated, yet in cahoots.

Walking alone, a sudden enlightenment.

The continuous growth of gourds and melons is regarded as a model.

……

Even though Huo Wanxi, a college student, had already looked up these words on her phone.

But when I looked back, I still didn't know how to read it.

Even with the help of pinyin, it was quite difficult to read.

Not to mention Zheng Muchen's elementary school level of education.

I simply cannot understand the meaning of these idioms.

But Meng Chuan finished in one go, speaking clearly.

In fact, even if Meng Chuan sang the wrong song, no one in the audience would have noticed.

"Is this what makes a perfect scorer in the college entrance exam so terrifying?"

Old Xiao was utterly shocked.

After Meng Chuan took off his mask, he already knew Meng Chuan's true identity.

He just didn't understand why a top student like him wouldn't study hard.

They insist on focusing their energy on songwriting.

How much effort must one have put in behind the scenes to write this song without being able to read music?

The key point is that these songs are actually quite high quality.

"He's a born musician, but unfortunately he can't read music."

A female sound engineer exclaimed in amazement.

"Yeah! His musicality is unmatched. If he could read music, wouldn't he be incredibly awesome?"

The other female sound engineer was also deeply shocked.

After Meng Chuan came out of the recording studio, Lao Xiao led the applause.

The others were also excitedly taking pictures.

Huo Wanxi, in particular, clapped her hands until they were bright red.

"Is it so exaggerated?"

Meng Chuan smiled wryly.

"That's quite an exaggeration, Meng Chuan. Could you come here more often in the future? I'd like to personally teach you music."

Old Xiao suddenly felt confident about taking on apprentices.

Just as the female sound engineer said.

Once Meng Chuan can read music, he's practically unstoppable.

"Uh! I was just playing around, I didn't intend to develop it in this direction, let's forget about it!"

Meng Chuan shook his head.

Old Xiao opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more.

But Meng Chuan spoke first:

"If you need any songs or any genres in the future, you can tell me and I can write them for you."

Since Meng Chuan had said that, Lao Xiao could only regretfully give up!

What a promising talent!

Unfortunately, they don't like music.

Even God is chasing after it to feed it, but it still won't eat.

Are you irritating or not?

"Meng Chuan, I'm going to sing on stage at the welcome party the day after tomorrow. Can you sing 'Learn to Meow' with me?"

Huo Wanxi suddenly came up and looked at Meng Chuan with pleading eyes.

She loves this song so much.

However, this is a song sung by a man and a woman.

She can't find a male companion.

And she doesn't want to find a male companion.

She loves singing with Meng Chuan.

"This……"

Meng Chuan hesitated.

Meng Chuan knew how much traffic he had.

I'm afraid that if I go on stage at this welcome party, it will cause quite a stir online.

His duet with Huo Wanxi will surely make netizens obsessed with shipping them!

Meng Chuan didn't care, but it wouldn't be good for Qian'er to see it.

“That’s perfect! Since you’re all going to perform, let’s sing together! This song is never perfect if it only has a female vocal part.”

Zheng Muchen agreed on Meng Chuan's behalf.

Although Zheng Muchen is not highly educated, he is a businessman and was once the CEO of a company worth hundreds of millions.

He has good judgment.

This song is absolutely amazing.

If Meng Chuan were to sing along, the release of this video would be a game-changer, doubling the impact.

That's enough to push this song to even greater heights.

"However, Xixi, Meng Chuan wrote both the lyrics and music for this song, so regarding the copyright..."

Zheng Muchen had to make his point clear beforehand.

To avoid future disputes.

"I don't want copyrights. All the profits will go to Meng Chuan. I just need to be allowed to sing."

Huo Wanxi said indifferently.

She is now considered a wealthy woman with tens of millions in assets.

She doesn't really have that much ambition.

Besides, it was written by Meng Chuan, so in her simple mind, it should rightfully belong to Meng Chuan.

"This won't work."

Meng Chuan pondered for a moment and said:

"How about this! From now on, when I write songs, don't credit me. Just credit the Meng Po Guild. I want 50% of all copyright revenue, the guild gets 20%, and the singer gets 30%."

"How can this be? You wrote both the lyrics and the music; you're practically giving it away for free!"

Zheng Muchen said.

As long as Meng Chuan can write out the lyrics and hum the melody, he can easily find a recording studio and get it done for a couple thousand yuan.

Meng Chuan giving the copyright fees to the labor union was simply him taking advantage of Meng Chuan.

Moreover, with the explosive popularity of these two songs written by Meng Chuan, his net worth will also rise accordingly.

From now on, any song written by Meng Chuan can be sold for a high price.

Moreover, it can continue to generate revenue.

Michael Jackson's songs sold for as much as $6 million in royalties.

That's equivalent to four or five billion RMB.

However, this height is quite difficult to achieve.

However, some well-known domestic creators, such as Vincent Fang, charge as much as 10,000 yuan per word for their lyrics.

With just one song, you can easily make three to five million.

Furthermore, the song's future revenue can be continuously shared proportionally.

Therefore, Meng Chuan sang for Huo Wanxi for free without charging copyright fees.

Thirty percent of all the profits were returned to Huo Wanxi, which meant Huo Wanxi got a great deal.

Of course, if Huo Wanxi were a top-tier singer, that would be a different story.

For an online celebrity, giving 30% is already quite a lot.

"Alright, it's settled then."

Meng Chuan did not give Zheng Muchen a chance to refute.

He checked the time and said:

"It's getting late, I have to go back. Teacher Xiao, please send me the finished piece later."

Meng Chuan had to go back; Liu Qian should be calling soon.

If Liu Qian makes a video call, Huo Wanxi will be right next to her, making it difficult to explain.

"Meng Chuan, I'll go back with you."

Huo Wanxi quickly said.

"All right!"

Meng Chuan wanted to refuse, but couldn't find a reason.

Both of them were from Shanghai University, and it just so happened that they were going the same way.

Besides, she's a girl, it wouldn't be right for a grown man like me not to take her home!

However, Meng Chuan was somewhat apprehensive throughout the journey.

Huo Wanxi kept trying to chat with Meng Chuan.

I also need Meng Chuan's contact information.

Fortunately, Liu Qian didn't call during the journey back to Shanghai.

After returning to his dormitory, Meng Chuan immediately called Liu Qian.

However, as soon as the call was connected, deafening music came from the other end.

Moreover, Liu Qian's camera was somewhat dim.

"What are you doing?"

Meng Chuan asked suspiciously.

"It's a colleague's birthday today, and they're singing in a private room!"

Liu Qian shouted loudly into the microphone.

Then I switched my phone's camera to the back, and I could see a young, handsome male teacher singing with complete absorption in the private room.

There was a girl in the village named Xiaofang

Good-looking and kind

……

Coincidentally, the male teacher turned his head while singing.

He happened to see Liu Qian filming him.

Therefore, he immediately extended an arm to Liu Qian, looked at her affectionately, and continued singing:

Thank you for your love.

I will never forget it in this lifetime.

……

Meng Chuan immediately became extremely jealous.

The call was immediately disconnected.

I sent a message to Liu Qian:

I don't like him...
