Chapter 279 Li Luo... You're the best
Midnight, in the bedroom.

Yuan Wanqing got out of bed, put on her pajamas, went to the bathroom, then returned to bed and leaned into Ying Zhicheng's arms.

After making love, the two of them were warm to each other, chatted about some intimate words, and then the topic of conversation gradually shifted to business.

"We had a meeting this afternoon and roughly determined the follow-up plan for your new album. We have asked them to prepare the specific details." Ying Zhicheng said, "When you are free on Wednesday next week, we should have another meeting with you."

"A new album..." Speaking of this, Yuan Wanqing couldn't help laughing, "I never thought that the second album after my comeback would be completely produced by my daughter's classmates."

"And he's actually my good brother's son." Ying Zhicheng smiled helplessly and pinched his nose with a headache. "This kid is really weird. How did he write that?"

"People with talent are probably all like this. There's no way to explain it with common sense." Yuan Wanqing said with a smile, "And they're all pop songs, so they're not too outrageous by comparison."

"You don't understand." Ying Zhicheng shook his head, "You don't know what he was like in junior high school, otherwise you would be like me, a little bit unbelievable."

"People grow up." Yuan Wanqing likes to speak for Li Luo. It seems that she really likes Li Luo. "Anyway, the plan I mentioned to you before has been approved by you, right?"

"Well... but we still have to wait and see." Ying Zhicheng said, "After all, promoting a new song in a novel... this idea is crazy no matter how you look at it, and even a bit nonsensical."

"But the song 'Waiting for You to Get Out of Class' this time was very effective, wasn't it?" Yuan Wanqing sat up straight on the bed. As soon as she talked about this topic, she was looking forward to it. "According to Li Luo, this is just a daily plot in his novel."

"If it's time for me to release a new album, he will prepare the plot related to the main storyline in advance to cooperate with me."

“The effect will probably be very good then.”

After hearing what she said, Ying Zhicheng couldn't help but ponder: "I haven't read his book carefully. What kind of coordination is this main plot coordination he mentioned?"

"I have asked Li Luo and Zhu Sheng about this." Yuan Wanqing pondered for a moment and then said, "In his book, the protagonist is in the entertainment industry, and the plot is also related to the entertainment industry."

"So he probably plans to have a female protagonist in the book who is good at singing appear on a singing variety show."

"There's a song in the book, so I'll post one too, so we can promote it together."

"This kind of plot interaction will definitely be much better than the effect this time."

After hearing this, Ying Zhicheng finally understood and nodded in understanding.

"It's amazing that he could come up with this idea... It's quite interesting." After stroking his chin and thinking for a while, Ying Zhicheng then asked, "How many songs has he prepared for you now? Can he really buy all the songs in the entire album?"

"There are already six songs." Yuan Wanqing laughed, "And the quality of the two new songs is no worse than the previous ones."

"So fast?" Ying Zhicheng was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, but since Yuan Wanqing said so, he would not question it. He was just a little surprised at Li Luo's speed.

How come writing songs is like a sow giving birth... Li Luo has to go to school and write online articles, yet he still has time to write songs.

The key is that he did these three things very well.

That's pretty outrageous.

"Based on his speed, it feels like the remaining songs will be out in the next two months." Yuan Wanqing couldn't help but say, "Maybe we don't even have to wait until the end of the year. It feels like the album can be finished during the summer vacation."

After hearing what Yuan Wanqing said, Ying Zhicheng fell silent.

His brain started working, and he seemed to have caught a glimmer of inspiration.

He didn't know how long he thought about it, but he suddenly looked up at Yuan Wanqing and asked with a burning gaze, "How confident are you in these songs of his?"

Yuan Wanqing was a little surprised when he suddenly asked this: "How do you want me to answer this? At least in terms of possible popularity, it should be much better than my last album."

"Do you think it's suitable for competition?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's the type that's suitable for singing competitions." Ying Zhicheng asked a little more specifically.

"What you mean is..." Yuan Wanqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't help but ask, "You want us to cooperate with the novel as well?"

"That depends on the quality of his songs first."

Yuan Wanqing was silent for a moment, the songs Li Luo gave her echoing in her mind, and then she nodded vigorously: "I think it's okay."

"Okay!" Ying Zhicheng laughed, "Then let's give it a try."

"You haven't told me what you want to try."

"I'm not sure right now." Ying Zhicheng shook his head and said, "I have to use my connections to see which program is more suitable."

"If possible, try to choose programs during the summer vacation?"

"I just don't know if you have enough time to prepare the plots for your album and novel."

Seeing that he was serious, Yuan Wanqing also thought about it seriously, and then said, "You can find some time to talk to Li Luo about the specific situation."

"He asked Zhusheng to tell me about this before."

"If the release date of the new album can be confirmed in advance, it would be best to tell him about two months in advance so that he can plan the plot in advance."

"Okay." Ying Zhicheng nodded, already having an idea in mind, "I'll try to give you an answer within the next two months."

"Then we have finished talking about business." Yuan Wanqing leaned back into Ying Zhicheng's arms, rubbing her smooth long legs against him under the quilt, and said with a chuckle, "Let's do some business again."

"...Who told me not to bother you before?"

"Really? I don't remember."

……

April 4th, after returning from the Qingming Festival holiday.

The Affiliated No. 1 Middle School began preparations for the three major ball games.

Although the competition is only open to first-year high school students, student union members from all grades still have to participate in the preparations.

"So why is football not included in the three major ball games?" After the meeting, Li Luo asked a soul-searching question on his way downstairs.

"How many football teams do you think we can form with 16 classes in the first grade of high school?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him. "Have you ever played football since you were a child?"

"No."

"That's it."

"Alas..." Li Luo sighed, shaking his head, "So the Chinese national football team is hopeless."

"Are you still worried about this?" Ying Chanxi glanced at him, "Are you planning to sign up for any project?"

"Me?" Li Luo shook his head. "At most I can participate in the class basketball game. I'm not very good at badminton and table tennis. How about you?"

"I will probably sign up for badminton." Ying Chanxi thought for a moment and said, "I mentioned it to Zhu Sheng before, and she invited me to compete with her."

"Ah?" Li Luo was stunned for a moment, then his expression became a little strange, "Have you ever played badminton with her?"

"I haven't fought before, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, you'll know when the time comes."

After going downstairs, Li Luo said goodbye to the two and returned to Class 8 classroom.

The moment he walked into the back door, for some reason, Li Luo noticed the gazes of Lin Yuan and Fang Chen directed at him.

In addition, there were also the unintentional gazes of Zhu Yufei and Zhang Guohuang.

I don’t know why, but these past two days, the way these people looked at me always felt a little weird…

Could it be because he knew about the basketball game? That's possible.

Thinking of this, Li Luo walked up to the podium and took advantage of the break just after lunch to talk to his classmates about the three major ball games this month.

Among them, badminton and table tennis are divided into men's and women's groups, and each student in the class can register independently without any requirement for the number of people.

It was just that during the meeting, Xu Youyu said that they should try to have at least one person sign up for each class and each project.

That makes four of us.

Besides that, there's basketball.

Unlike the other two events where individuals register, the basketball game is a class competition that all sixteen classes in the first year of high school must participate in.

Of course, in order to save time, the schedule is also simple.

The sixteen classes draw lots and compete in knockout rounds in pairs.

The competition is held every Saturday, and the champion is decided after four rounds. The competition system is simple and crude.

"Girls should go to Yan Zhusheng to register, and boys should go to Zhu Yufei." Li Luo finally said, "For students who choose to participate, all drinks during the competition will be paid for by me."

"Oh, by the way, if you are not good at the competition but still want to help the students who are participating, you can also sign up for the cheerleading team."

"Just go to Yan Zhusheng to sign up. He will be responsible for cheering everyone on. Drinks are free."

A competition not only needs participants, but also sufficiently enthusiastic spectators, only then can it be called lively.

Li Luo is very happy to be able to spend a little money to increase everyone's enthusiasm for the game.

However, when walking back to his seat from the podium, Li Luo always felt that Xu Guangtao, who was sitting at the table in front of Yan Zhusheng, secretly glanced at him.

Zhu Huiyan next door seemed to look at him as well.

Although they were all normal looks, they always gave Li Luo an uncomfortable feeling.

But I can’t tell what’s going on.

"Class monitor, I've signed you up for the basketball game." Zhu Yufei shouted to Li Luo, "Are you interested in other events?"

"Just sign me up for basketball." Li Luo waved his hand and said, "Do your best for the rest."

"okay!"

After sitting back in his seat, Li Luo looked at the girls who came to Yan Zhusheng to sign up for the competition and the cheerleading team, and swallowed back what he was about to say.

When class was about to start and everyone had returned to their seats, Li Luo whispered, "Is there any gossip in class recently? I always feel like everyone looks at me strangely."

"Really?" Yan Zhusheng shook his head in confusion. "No, everyone is normal. Are you overthinking it?"

Li Luo was silent for a moment, thinking that he was probably overthinking it.

"Oh, right." Yan Zhusheng suddenly thought of something and said to Li Luo.

"what happened?"

"My mother told me to tell you something." Yan Zhusheng thought for a moment and said carefully, "There has been new progress regarding the cooperation, so I wanted to ask you when you are free so we can have a meeting to discuss it in detail."

"Is it urgent?"

"It's not urgent." Yan Zhusheng shook his head, "It can be done before the end of the month."

"Okay, I see."

"Sign the contract when the time comes." Yan Zhusheng added, "You haven't signed the contracts for your two new songs yet, as well as 'Waiting for You to Get Out of Class'."

"Ah?" Hearing this, Li Luo was stunned for a moment, "What does it have to do with "Waiting for You to Get Out of Class"? The style of this song doesn't match Aunt Yuan."

"It's not what my mother wants." Yan Zhusheng shook his head. "It seems that she reported it to the film and television department. There just happened to be a TV series called "The Rest of My Life With You", which is a good match for your song, so she wanted to buy the copyright of this song for the TV series from you."

"Is that so..." Li Luo nodded in understanding, then couldn't help laughing, "It can actually be sold?"

"Yeah." Yan Zhusheng nodded, "But they rejected your song for so long before, it's okay if you don't want to sell it."

"how much is it?"

"One hundred and fifty thousand."

"Just the copyright of a TV series, 150,000?"

"Correct."

"I think I can still forgive them." Li Luo said seriously, "Besides, it was the music department that rejected my song before, so it has nothing to do with the film and television department, right?"

"That makes sense." Yan Zhusheng nodded in agreement, "Then I'll tell my mom."

"it is good."

"Then do you have any ideas for the last few songs in my mother's new album?" Yan Zhusheng asked curiously, "She has already recorded the first few songs."

"Well." Li Luo smiled, "Do you want to hear it? If you want to hear it, it's available."

"I want to hear it." Yan Zhusheng's eyes lit up when he heard him say that, and he said without hesitation, "Please."

Li Luo: "...at least you have some backbone."

"What's the use of being righteous?" Yan Zhusheng tilted his head, "I want to listen."

"It's time for class." Li Luo pointed at the alarm clock on the wall, "Let's sing it when we go for a night run tonight."

Hearing this, Yan Zhusheng narrowed his eyes immediately, a little unhappy: "Then why are you telling me now? I can't hear you."

"You were the one who asked first. Don't be the first to complain."

"You are bad."

"Okay, then I won't sing tonight."

"Li Luo...you are the best."

Li Luo couldn't help laughing when he saw how quickly she changed her expression. He couldn't help pinching her cheeks and said, "You're too easy to bully."

"Will you still sing tonight?"

"Sing." Li Luo smiled and nodded, "But the two new songs I prepared are more suitable for Aunt Yuan's style. I don't think I can sing it that way myself."

Yan Zhusheng blinked, then shook his head to indicate that he didn't mind.

But she couldn't help but ask, "Is this tailor-made?"

"Is that so?" Li Luo thought about it and realized that he had indeed searched specifically for it before he found two songs that should be considered to be in line with Yuan Wanqing's style.

I feel it would be great if I could have the opportunity to perform on stage.

After all, she is Yan Zhusheng's mother, so she should pay more attention to her.

But Yan Zhusheng tightened her face and whispered, "I want one in the future."
