Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

"What are you creating on the spot? What are you talking about?"

Just then, Zheng Muchen walked over with two girls and a boy. Hearing Lao Xiao's question, he smiled and asked.

"President Meng surprised me again."

As Lao Xiao spoke, he handed the lyrics to "Drinking Alone" to Zheng Muchen.

"Oh? Mr. Meng has already written a song? Lao Xiao, what do you think of this song? Will it be a hit?"

Zheng Muchen asked impatiently.

As for the lyrics, he didn't look at them carefully, since he didn't understand them anyway.

Professional matters should be commented on by professionals.

"Will it become a hit? If you remove the 'ma' from it, it will definitely be a huge hit!"

Old Xiao said excitedly:

"Although from the perspective of the cultural level of the lyrics and the professional knowledge of music, this cannot be considered a song."

"However, by using a unique singing style and a highly rhythmic melody, it can create a heroic and chivalrous atmosphere that resonates with the audience."

"Young people today love this kind of upbeat tune, which will definitely generate a nationwide buzz."

Old Xiao looked as excited as if he had discovered a treasure.

"Really? Mr. Meng, your creative ability is truly amazing! Since Lao Xiao approves, it's definitely going to be a huge hit!"

Zheng Muchen was also extremely excited.

Meng Po Guild already has two representative works. If this one becomes a hit, Meng Po Guild's position in the industry will be absolutely unshakeable.

No matter how much money other guilds spend, it's all in vain if they can't produce works that are recognized by the market.

"It's not that exaggerated. Whether a song is good or not still depends on its quality and promotion."

Meng Chuan said modestly.

But what he said was true. Some good songs go unnoticed when sung by certain people, but become wildly popular when covered by others.

This is related to the celebrity effect, but also to promotion.

"Thank you, Mr. Meng. I will definitely practice hard and live up to your expectations!"

Zhu Yilei quickly expressed his gratitude.

The fact that Lao Xiao approved of the song is enough to show that it has great potential.

Moreover, it's his preferred style.

Meng Chuan waved his hand and smiled:

"Practice hard. Whether this song becomes a hit depends on you."

Zhu Yilei nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"Mr. Meng, you still haven't told me! Was it created on the spot, or...?"

Old Xiao is still struggling with this issue.

"I just write whatever comes to mind when I have nothing else to do."

Meng Chuan lied.

To say it was created on the spot is truly astonishing.

Meng Chuan still prefers to keep a low profile.

Zheng Muchen didn't care whether Meng Chuan's work was impromptu or pre-written.

He quickly stepped forward and asked:

"Mr. Meng, look at these three newcomers, they all have great voices. Could you write a few songs for them? Come on, this is Mr. Meng, say hello to him."

Zheng Muchen said to the three people behind him.

Now, Meng Chuan is highly sought after by Zheng Muchen.

This is a rare opportunity, and we must seize it.

"Hello, Mr. Meng."

The three men were extremely respectful to Meng Chuan.

The reason for the respect was not that Meng Chuan was the boss, but the thumb ring on Meng Chuan's hand.

Meng Chuan glanced at the newcomers and nodded:

"You all have good looks. Each of you sing one of your best songs for me."

Old Xiao and the others were already used to Meng Chuan's unpredictable behavior.

Normal songwriters write the song first, and then find a suitable singer based on the song's style.

Meng Chuan, however, did the opposite.

All songs are created to suit the singer's unique characteristics and style; they are completely tailor-made.

"Hello, Mr. Meng. My name is Xie Jinlai. You can just call me Alai."

Ah Lai is the only boy among the three, and he should be quite young.

But there was a hint of melancholy in his voice.

He sang a rather melancholic song a cappella.

Meng Chuan listened while frowning in thought.

Which song's style suits him best?

Seeing Meng Chuan deep in thought, Lao Xiao and Zheng Muchen didn't dare to disturb him.

Suddenly, Meng Chuan had a flash of inspiration and immediately began to write furiously.

Seeing Meng Chuan start writing, the two of them moved closer, eager to see what he was doing.

The song title is "Girl, Don't Cry".

The lyrics seem quite ordinary; at least for now, there's nothing particularly outstanding about them.

"Old Xiao, I'll sing a song, and you'll compose the music."

After finishing writing, Meng Chuan said to Lao Xiao.

"Don't worry, I'll record it right away."

Old Xiao hurriedly turned on the recording equipment.

Meng Chuan immediately began to sing a cappella:

If one day I leave your life

If one day you still love me

Girl, why are you crying so loudly?

I'll wait for you by the stream on the other side of the road.

……

The melody is flat and has almost no ups and downs.

But it is precisely this straightforward melody and lyrics that make it catchy and deeply moving.

"Next person."

After he finished singing, Meng Chuan said to another girl.

"My name is Gu Shengnan, hello President Meng."

The girl had heavy makeup and wore a bright red dress, which suggested she had a very outgoing personality.

Her voice was also very loud and high-pitched.

Meng Chuan pondered for only about a minute before starting to write.

The song "38.6 Degrees" was completed in one go.

The last girl was rather shy, but also very pretty; her name was Tang Jing.

But her voice is completely at odds with her name and even her appearance.

She has a mezzo-soprano voice, with a slightly husky tone.

This kind of voice is actually very popular.

Meng Chuan wrote "Desert Camel" almost without thinking.

These three songs are all set to become viral hits across the internet in the near future.

Its viewership on Douyin is astonishing, comparable to or even surpassing that of "Little Apple".

There must be a reason why these songs stand out among countless online songs.

"Mr. Meng, did you really write this a long time ago?"

Looking at the lyrics Meng Chuan handed him, Lao Xiao's worldview was once again turned upside down.

Meng Chuan is not a professional creator.

If Meng Chuan were to idly ponder things and write one or two, or even three or four poems, that would be fine.

But Meng Chuan's writing doesn't seem like it was prepared in advance!

But if Meng Chuan hadn't already written it, could he have written a song in just a few minutes of thought?

This is too outrageous.

"Why are you always dwelling on this issue? Focus on composing the music."

Meng Chuan looked at Lao Xiao with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"Hehe, not bad, Mr. Meng is right. But Mr. Meng, is there anything else? We've recently signed quite a few livestreamers..."

Zheng Muchen didn't care how Meng Chuan created his poems; he just wanted Meng Chuan to write more.

"Don't bite off more than you can chew. If you promote these songs properly, they can become popular, but too much of a good thing can be bad."

Meng Chuan said. For a song to become popular, it inevitably needs to occupy a lot of public resources.

If too many songs are released at the same time, they will compete with each other, and the market share will be divided.

Instead, it will overshadow songs that should have become huge hits.

"As expected of President Meng, you are not only a born musician, but also a born businessman."

Lao Xiao wholeheartedly agreed.

This was the first time he had ever admired a young man to such an extent.

He suddenly felt incredibly proud and honored to have chosen to join the Meng Po Guild.

The more this is the case, the harder it is for Lao Xiao to hide his love for talent.

He looked at Meng Chuan with a pleading expression and said:

"Mr. Meng, I have a good reputation in the industry. I have taught many students. I really hope you can learn music from me."

As Lao Xiao spoke, fearing Meng Chuan might refuse, he quickly added:

"Don't worry, there's no need for an apprenticeship. As long as you're willing to learn, I'll teach you everything I know. Is that alright?"
