Chapter 149 Future Son-in-Law
After recording the song until around three in the afternoon, Li Luo went downstairs to the kitchen to cook.

Yan Zhusheng claimed that he could help, and went downstairs in his slippers and went into the kitchen with Li Luo.

Only Yuan Wanqing and Luo Fei were left in the recording studio.

"How do you feel?" Yuan Wanqing turned on the player again, played the song she had just recorded, listened to the melody and lyrics, and asked her best friend.

Luo Fei hummed along with the melody, and then a thoughtful expression appeared in her eyes: "How should I put it, it feels quite magical."

"What do you mean?"

"Because if these four songs were placed in front of me at once, it would be really hard for me to tell that they were created by the same person." Luo Fei smiled and explained.

"From a purely melody perspective, it's OK, but these two songs, including the previous ones 'Waiting for You to Get Out of Class' and 'Annual Rings', look at the lyrics."

“‘Annual Rings’ is a standard ancient style song, and the lyrics are more like emotional pain written from a female perspective.”

"And 'Waiting for You After Class' is mainly from a male perspective, telling the story of a boy's secret crush on and pursuit of a girl and his inner monologue, which feels very much like a diary."

"As for these two songs, the lyrics of "Light Chaser" are more like a poem, with rich artistic conception and euphemism. Various expressions are half-hidden with some images, which is not as straightforward as "Waiting for You to Get Out of Class" at all."

"The song 'Light' is more like a song of inspiration and growth, and has a completely different narrative from the above three songs."

"So what you mean is," Yuan Wanqing frowned, "these songs were not written by Li Luo?"

"That's not the case." Luo Fei laughed and said, "Didn't you tell me that his family is just an ordinary family? His parents run a breakfast shop, how could they ask someone else to write for them?"

"I can only say that there are indeed geniuses in this world. He must be very good at creation."

"And judging from his way of dealing with people, he is a precocious person. It may have something to do with the fact that his family runs a breakfast shop."

Yuan Wanqing nodded gently: "Zhu Sheng mentioned to me that Li Luo's Chinese composition in the high school entrance examination seemed to have received full marks."

“But I feel that the person who can write these four songs is much more amazing than the one who got full marks in composition.” Luo Fei shook his head and said.

"The lyrics of 'Annual Rings' have a bit of a whining feel to them, and many of the words are forced together just to rhyme. But when paired with the fairy tale drama, it can make sense."

"'Waiting for You to Get Out of Class' is too straightforward, and every line of the lyrics is very colloquial, like a diary written casually."

“But when it comes to the song ‘Chasing Light’… compared to the first two songs, there is a big improvement. The imagery used in the lyrics is not as stiff as in ‘Annual Rings’, and the sentences are not as straightforward as in ‘Waiting for You to Get Out of Class’.”

“And in the song ‘Light’, you can even see a little bit of his thoughts on life.”

"Especially this sentence."

“It turns out that it rotates by itself~”

"Only then can the light shine~"

“The sun is always there~”

Luo Fei hummed aloud, obviously liking the melody and lyrics of this part, and then said:

"If an adult could write such a sentence, I think it's quite normal, but if it's written by a 16-year-old, it means that he is really thinking about something."

After hearing what she said, Yuan Wanqing couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems like you admire him very much?"

"What else?" Luo Fei hummed, "What were we doing when we were fifteen or sixteen? But Li Luo has already sold a song and made tens of thousands of dollars."

"Then you say..." Yuan Wanqing was somewhat moved. She looked at the lyrics book in front of her and murmured for a moment, "How do these two songs perform in the current market?"

"It's hard to say for sure." Luo Fei shook his head and said, "I can only evaluate the song based on its melody and lyrics, but nowadays, whether a song will become popular depends not only on these."

"But I don't want to rely solely on the company to invite songs." Yuan Wanqing pursed her lips.

"You just released an album, you can't release another one in such a short time."

"I know." Yuan Wanqing nodded. "So I'm just asking for your opinion first. Even if we want to release a new album, we'll have to prepare for it for a year, but we can get the good songs first."

"Hmm..." Luo Fei thought for a moment, hearing the recorded song of Li Luo in his ears. He fell into deep thought for a moment and didn't know how to give advice. In the end, he could only joke, "Why don't you just ask Li Luo if he can write a few more songs for you."

Yuan Wanqing raised her hand to support her forehead: "What you said is a bit shameless."

"That's hard to say." Luo Fei said with a grin, "Look at Li Luo, it's only been two or three months, right? He's already released four songs."

"If we give him a year to prepare, and he has 10 songs for an album, shouldn't that be a piece of cake?"

"Besides, after five or six years, he might be your son-in-law."

Hearing the last sentence, Yuan Wanqing glared at her and said, "What are you talking about? You are still children, and you are the only one who thinks too far ahead."

"I've never seen Zhu Sheng cling to a boy so much." Luo Fei pouted and said, "They even stay together when cooking. I wonder if Zhu Sheng himself realizes this."

"You talk too much today."

"Haha~ I won't say any more. If I continue to provoke you, I'm afraid you'll give me a cold shoulder later."

Yuan Wanqing sighed, "Just say this to me in private. Don't talk nonsense when we eat. They are studying now, and their main focus should be on their studies."

"Especially about the new album, don't tell Li Luo about it, lest he really thinks about it and delays his studies."

"He has very good grades in school now. If his grades drop because of me, I don't know how to explain it to his parents."

"I know, I know." Luo Fei waved her hand, "I'm just teasing you, I'm not that tactless." "But..." Yuan Wanqing lowered her head and thought, then said, "We can take down these two songs by Li Luo first, what do you think?"

"I'll listen to you." Luo Fei said, "If the previous song "Waiting for You to Get Out of Class" is not really suitable for your style, I would also recommend it."

"Then it's settled."

At around 4:30 in the afternoon, Li Luo prepared four side dishes and together with Yan Zhusheng carried the plates to the dining table.

Yan Zhusheng called the two aunts upstairs to come down for dinner, and Li Luo explained, "Because I didn't know you were coming, I bought less food."

"It's okay." Yuan Wanqing shook her head and sat down at the dining table. "You are a guest. You came to our house to play. I am already embarrassed to ask you to cook for us."

"It smells so good." Luo Fei sat next to him and sniffed it. "I didn't believe what Zhu Sheng said at first, but now it seems that it really tastes better than what the cooking auntie made."

Yan Zhusheng nodded, then couldn't wait to stretch out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of eel slice and put it into his mouth, and his eyes immediately narrowed comfortably.

After tasting the food, Yuan Wanqing and Luo Fei were full of praise. They didn't expect Li Luo's cooking skills to be so good.

Originally, neither of them would eat much for dinner. After all, they are old and their metabolism is slow, so eating less can help them maintain a good body shape.

But after eating the meal made by Li Luo, both of them drank a big bowl of rice and were completely full.

It was only after she had eaten that Yuan Wanqing remembered about the two songs.

So she wiped her mouth, looked at Li Luo who was sitting opposite her, and after thinking for a while, she said to him: "Li Luo, Auntie wants to discuss something with you."

……

Around five o'clock in the evening, Li Luo sat in Yuan Wanqing's nanny car and the driver took him back to Bi Hai Lan Ting.

Because he had promised Ying Chanxi that he would go back to have dinner together in the evening, he deliberately cooked early at Yan Zhusheng's house so that he could rush home at 5:30.

However, he did not expect that he had originally planned to record the songs first, and then ask Yan Zhusheng to send the two songs to her mother's company to see if anyone was interested.

In the end, after just meeting Yuan Wanqing once, he was able to sell the song successfully...

Of course, what is sold is also only part of the copyright of a song.

But unlike "Annual Rings", this time the sales are mainly related to the album and the performance.

Because of the fact that "Annual Rings" was published first and they were acquaintances, Yuan Wanqing did not bargain for him. She just gave him the normal market price and did not cause any trouble just because he was a little kid.

In particular, what was agreed upon this time was a one-time copyright fee plus profit-sharing model, that is to say, if these two songs are included in Yuan Wanqing's album in the future.

In the future, Li Luo will be able to share a portion of the profits from the album.

Of course, the revenue from the album is declining now, but it can be regarded as Yuan Wanqing's sincerity.

Being able to treat a 15 or 16-year-old child equally is already very good for Li Luo.

I just didn’t expect that among the four songs, Jay Chou’s song was the only one that couldn’t be sold…

However, Li Luo felt relieved when he thought about the fact that Jay Chou had many rejections when he was young.

For most people, it is still too difficult to judge whether a song will become popular before it is released.

As he was thinking this, the nanny car had already safely brought him to the gate of the community.

After thanking the driver, Li Luo pushed the door and got out of the car, then walked into the community and quickly returned to 1502.

As soon as he opened the door, Li Luo saw three girls sitting in the living room.

Perhaps because Lin Xiuhong was busy in the kitchen, Xu Youyu did not lie on the sofa, but sat upright instead.

Qiao Xinyan sat on the other side of the sofa, quietly watching the TV in the living room.

Ying Chanxi sat in the middle, holding the Pikachu doll in his arms. It seemed that he really liked the gift from Yan Zhusheng.

"Why did you come back so late?" Ying Chanxi asked when he saw Li Luo, "If you were any later, Aunt Lin would have already prepared the meal."

"After all, I was going to someone's house to borrow the recording studio." Li Luo said as he changed his shoes, "So I made her a meal as a reward before rushing back."

Upon hearing this, Ying Chanxi immediately pinched Pikachu's head.

"Then bring me a little pudding."

"Okay, okay, Miss Ying." Li Luo was instructed as soon as he changed into slippers. After walking into the kitchen, he took out a small pudding from the refrigerator.

The next second, Lin Xiuhong's voice came from the kitchen: "You kid, you're eating pudding when it's time to eat? Put it back."

"It's Ying Chanxi who wants to eat it."

"Oh...why don't you take it quickly?"

Li Luo: "...You are really my biological mother."

"What are you talking about? Send it to Xixi, and then come over to help."
