Chapter 2 The Wind from Another World

Chen Mo thought he was drunk and shook his head.

But the sound ringing in my ears was indeed so clear.

The article is made by nature, and it is occasionally obtained.

This is what Chen Mo was thinking at the moment. The description is not quite accurate, but the meaning is just right.

Is this the one percent of inspiration that genius possesses?
Chen Mo feels that he has put in 99% of his effort in music. He has been influenced by his mother's music since he was a child and majored in music in college. He has solid music theory knowledge, good musical sense, and is proficient in playing many instruments, but he lacks that 1% of inspiration, so he has never created any representative work.

After graduation, he could only "muddle through" in his own record company.

every dog ​​has his day?

I was born to be useful?
I am a genius too?!
Chen Mo's thoughts were in a mess at the moment, and he tried hard to calm his inner excitement.

Borrowing a pen and paper from the owner of the barbecue stall, Chen Mo hurriedly recorded the sounds that rang in his ears and entered his mind, and ignored his brother who was lying unconscious on the table.

Chen Mo didn't know when the voice in his ears would stop, and was afraid that he would forget it later.

If my brother has to go through pain in order to be inspired, can we please forgive him and break up more often in the future?

Brother, you have a hard life, so I can drive a Land Rover?!
This thought suddenly flashed through Chen Mo's mind.

I'm guilty.

Chen Mo confessed his dirty thoughts for three seconds.

Okay, let it go.

Maybe human joys and sorrows really are not shared.

Chen Mo thought to himself, comforting himself.

Great people all say this, it’s not my fault.

Chen Mo didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he had completely recorded the song in his ears.

No wonder when you ask geniuses how they did it, they like to say, “I don’t know how to say it, it just suddenly came to my mind.”

It turns out that this is not modesty, the inspiration really comes suddenly.

I just wonder if other geniuses’ inspirations are as specific as mine, with not only the melody but also the accompanying lyrics!

After Chen Mo put away the folded paper with the records, he did not delay any longer and quickly sent Jiang Congwen home. Then he immediately rushed back to his own home and registered the copyright of the lyrics and music online as soon as he got home.

After finishing the most important thing, Chen Mo finally felt relieved. He picked up the guitar in the room and started playing and humming the song he was familiar with.

Early the next morning, Chen Mo went straight to the company's recording studio to record the accompaniment and demo.

"Xiao Mo, what are you so happy about?"

As soon as he came out of the recording studio, Chen Mo met his company's leading actress, the queen Lin Nanxi, who was also his mother's student.

"Senior Sister." Chen Mo couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Found a girlfriend? You're so happy." Lin Nanxi joked.

"No, no, I'm still looking forward to my senior sister introducing me to someone."

"That's easy. With your looks and conditions, it shouldn't be difficult. If you have any requirements, I'll keep an eye out for you."

"I'm just kidding, senior sister. I'm not in a hurry. This matter depends on fate." Seeing that Lin Nanxi was serious, Chen Mo quickly stopped talking.

"You're not in a hurry, but the teacher should be. He's been asking me about it recently." Lin Nanxi teased.

Chen Mo remembered that his mother had been nagging him from time to time at home recently, but he didn't expect that she would take action. Was she arranging a blind date for him?

Not so!

Chen Mo touched his face, a look of disbelief. Am I afraid that I can’t find a girlfriend with the way I look?
"Hehe, senior sister, don't listen to my mother. She is just free because she is about to retire." Chen Mo said quickly.

"Teacher is thinking of helping you take care of the children after retirement." Lin Nanxi said with a smile.

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Chen Mo changed the subject and asked, "How is the preparation for the new album going, Senior Sister?"

"I've included several songs, but I haven't found a suitable title song yet." Lin Nanxi was a little distressed when she said this.

The importance of the title song to an album is self-evident.

Especially as a diva, your fans will have high expectations for your album.

So Lin Nanxi couldn’t find one that satisfied her.

Chen Mo didn't have any good solution for this. He didn't even know if he could get this inspiration a second time.

"What about you? Why are you coming to the recording studio so early in the morning?" Lin Nanxi asked. She knew that her junior brother had a lazy personality and was not such an active person.

"I wrote a song last night and came to record the accompaniment." Chen Mo said.

"Oh, a new song? It must be a very good song. Do you have a demo? I want to listen to it." Lin Nanxi asked.

"Yes, here." Before Chen Mo finished speaking, he noticed Lin Nanxi's assistant coming over and seemed to want to say something, so he stopped talking.

"Sister Nan, everything is ready here. Director Zhang is waiting for you in the recording studio." Lin Nanxi's assistant first nodded and greeted Chen Mo, then said to Lin Nanxi.

"Okay, I'll go over now." Lin Nanxi nodded to the assistant first, then said to Chen Mo apologetically: "Xiao Mo, we can only wait until next time. The company has recently collected a few more songs, and Yundong and I have made an appointment to listen to them together."

"It's okay. Sister, you go ahead and do your work. I have something else to do, so I have to leave first." Chen Mo knew that Lin Nanxi had something important to do, so he didn't waste any more time chatting with her.

"Okay, see you later."

"See you later, Senior Sister."

Chen Mo left the company and rushed to Jiang Congwen's house.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Congwen opened the door with a sleepy look on his face.

"I came to see if you are still alive." Chen Mo walked in and said to Jiang Congwen, who looked listless.

"Just kidding, buddy, we're not going to be desperate over a breakup." Jiang Congwen completely forgot that he cried like a fool yesterday.

Chen Mo looked at Jiang Congwen. He would probably be sent to a crematorium one day, his whole body would be burned to ashes, with only his mouth left.

"Are you going to continue the live broadcast tonight?" Chen Mo walked to the sofa and sat down and asked.

"It's on. It's been a few days since we last aired it. No matter what, life has to go on."

"The world kisses me with pain, and I will repay it with song!" Jiang Congwen said "passionately" while waving his fist.

Chen Mo was too lazy to watch him forcing a smile and took out the USB flash drive with the demo recorded on it from his pocket.

"Come, listen to my new song."

"Have you written any songs recently?" Jiang Congwen took it from the USB drive and played songs without paying much attention.

In the school dormitory before, Jiang Congwen often listened to the new songs tinkered with by Chen Mo.

Although Chen Mo's musical quality is impeccable and his playing skills are unique in the school, what can I say about his creation?

Anyway, he doesn't remember any of the songs Chen Mo wrote in those years.

In fact, with Chen Mo's face and professional singing skills, he would definitely be more popular than him if he were to do a live broadcast.

Otherwise, his family is a well-known record company in the circle, and he can make a debut directly with a few good songs. Unfortunately, Chen Mo only wants to sing his own songs and doesn't like too many people paying attention to his life, so this unique condition is wasted.

All I can say is that if you have money, you can do whatever you want.

"Come, let me see, yo, 'King of Karaoke'?"

Jiang Congwen opened the USB drive on his computer, saw the song title, and said with a smile: "Isn't this talking about me? I am a cover singer on DouLe, and I am known as the 'King of Karaoke'. When I live stream, my popularity has never fallen out of the top ten of the singing track rankings."

"My goodness, with the tone of your voice, I thought you would at least be in the top three!" Chen Mo teased.

"That's because you don't know. It's because I only focus on live streaming and rarely upload videos. Otherwise, I tell you, it's not a big deal for me to be at the top of the leaderboard every minute!"

Jiang Congwen boasted about himself while clicking play.

A piano prelude with stereo sound came from the speakers.

I have to mention that as a professional anchor, this guy's equipment is really good.

Halfway through the song, Jiang Congwen's eyes started to turn red.

After waiting for a long time for the song to finish, Jiang Congwen asked, "When did you write this song?"

"Last night." Chen Mo replied.

"Fuck, you..." Jiang Congwen was silent for a while, and then uttered the moving Chinese quintessence.

Jiang Congwen is feeling somewhat complicated right now.

My brother can write such an awesome song?!

Is this my brother?!
Or was it the inspiration from my breakup? !

This song is so suitable for me!!
That was the thought, and then there was only one strong thought left: I want to sing this song.

Jiang Congwen looked at Chen Mo with a conflicted expression, as if he was thinking about how to start the conversation.

"Okay, this song is for you." Seeing Jiang Congwen's constipated look, Chen Mo smiled directly.

"How can I feel embarrassed?" Jiang Congwen's eyes lit up, but he still spoke awkwardly.

"Then just pretend I never said anything?" Chen Mo asked playfully.

"How can you do this?" Jiang Congwen was anxious.

"Okay, okay, take the song. The music score and accompaniment are in the USB drive."

"Okay, then I won't be polite with you. But you must take the money, let's be fair." Jiang Congwen said seriously.

"Of course, you still want to get it for free." Chen Mo didn't say anything like giving it away for free.

A true brother will not try to take advantage of you, nor will he put his brothers in a difficult position.

After hearing what Chen Mo said, Jiang Congwen finally felt relieved.

"You should familiarize yourself with the song tonight, and then go to the company to sign the contract tomorrow and record the song. Then, discuss with Senior Brother Zhang how to release it."

Jiang Congwen's record contract was actually signed with Chen Mo's company. He had released a few songs before, but they didn't make much of a splash.

After all, these days, if you don’t release a few songs, you’d be embarrassed to say that you studied music.

As for why he signed with "Floating Cloud Entertainment" founded by Chen Mo's parents?
In fact, many people in Fuyun Entertainment are from the same school, including the queen Lin Nanxi, music director Zhang Yundong, Jiang Congwen and Chen Mo himself, all of whom are students of Chen Mo's mother, Professor Fang Shuyun.

In fact, Fang Shuyun only started out as a recording job, and his original intention was to serve as a frontier for students to get in touch with the entertainment industry, so that students would have channels to understand some industry conditions and avoid being cheated and signing blood-sucking contracts with sky-high liquidated damages.

Later, by chance, a superstar named Su Lixing and a superstar named Lin Nanxi emerged, and "Floating Cloud Entertainment" was established, which gradually grew to its current size.

Many students at Beijing Institute of Music know Fuyun Entertainment, where seniors Su Lixing and Lin Nanxi work. Students in our school who want to record and release works will choose Fuyun Entertainment as their first choice, because everyone knows that the prices are absolutely the best in the industry.

Moreover, since many of the company's employees graduated from Beijing Institute of Music and are alumni, the overall atmosphere of the company is very good, and there are not so many dirty and troublesome things.

"Okay, no problem. I'll get familiar with it now. I won't see you off." Jiang Congwen said with energy, and instantly turned his face away and refused to recognize him.

"Damn, you're really destroying the bridge after crossing it. You're so realistic." Chen Mo complained speechlessly.

"How about we go out for another drink tonight?" Jiang Congwen said.

"Come on, I don't want to send you back again. Don't you know how much you weigh now? You are so tired. You should lose some weight." Chen Mo waved his hands.

"That's it." Jiang Congwen patted his belly proudly.

"Okay, I give in. I really owe you this. I'm leaving now." Chen Mo felt relieved when he saw Jiang Congwen's current mental state, so he got up and left.

"Thank you." Jiang Congwen sent Chen Mo to the door and suddenly spoke.

"So pretentious." Chen Mo walked away without looking back.

As soon as Chen Mo walked out of the community, he saw a familiar figure, still carrying the familiar small shoulder bag, a white T-shirt with jeans, and brown flat boots. Simple and casual, it created a striking effect.

Wherever there are people, there is scenery.

Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Just got off work?" Chen Mo took the initiative to smile and nod to say hello.

"Yeah." Xu Hongdou was a little surprised by Chen Mo's greeting, but still nodded subconsciously in response.

"Um... please wait a moment. Excuse me, the person living in 1102 is your friend, right?" Xu Hongdou remembered something and quickly stopped Chen Mo who was passing by and asked.

"?" Chen Mo stopped and turned around, looked at Xu Hongdou and nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"That's right. The soundproofing here is actually not that good. Your friend sometimes sings quite loudly at night, and always sings until quite late." Xu Hongdou said.

Xu Hongdou had actually wanted to talk to her next-door neighbor about this problem for a long time, but she either forgot about it because she was busy, or she could never find the right time when she didn't want to remember it.

First of all, the sound was not very loud. It was only faintly heard in the dead of night when she was lying in bed. It was already quite late at this time, and it was not convenient for her to find a strange man to argue with.

Secondly, the neighbors' schedule seems to be the opposite. Sometimes on my day off I would think of talking to them about this issue, but when I ring the doorbell during the day, no one is always there.

The main thing is that this sound doesn't happen every day, but only occasionally. So she didn't want to make a fuss about it, or even call the property management to make the relationship between the neighbors very awkward.

"Okay, I understand. I'll talk to him later."

Chen Mo guessed that Jiang Congwen would sometimes play some DJ music and shout into the mic during live PK matches for the sake of program effect.

"Thank you so much." said Xu Hongdou.

"It's okay, no need to be so polite. It feels awkward when you call me that. My name is Chen Mo, don't you know what to call me?" Chen Mo said, stretching out his hand.

"Xu Hongdou." Xu Hongdou hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and gently held Chen Mo's hand with her fingertips.

"Xu Hongdou?" Chen Mo read it for a moment, nodded and said, "It's a nice name."

"Thank you. Um... please talk to your friend. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Xu Hongdou gestured.

"Don't worry, I'll remember it. Goodbye." Seeing that Xu Hongdou's delicate face looked a little tired, Chen Mo didn't talk any more.

"Goodbye."
