Chapter 290: Chapter 290: A Chance Encounter with Li Feier
Chen Wei’s piano skills became more impressive as time went on, so much so that even those who didn’t understand music could tell they were profoundly unfathomable!
As for Chen Wei’s singing, there was no need to wait— from the instant the first lyric was sung, he captured everyone’s attention.
They all focused their eyes on Chen Wei alone, whether they were skewering food, drinking, or playing games, their actions were frozen in that moment.
It was obvious they were completely immersed in the ocean of music, in the world within.
It was clear who was stronger and who was weaker at a glance.
"So? I told you, his casual singing would leave you several Milky Ways behind," Leng Qianqian shook her head and sighed, "There are really people who rush forward to get slapped in the face. A student from the number one music college in the Imperial Capital, with two consecutive years of comprehensive S ratings? That’s it?"
Then she laughed again.
This laughter was particularly grating to Lin Zhangyang’s ears.
He was at a loss for words, really unable to speak; fighting against the wind was something Lin Zhangyang couldn’t do.
He turned and left directly.
The cost of those pieces of equipment was not as important as face.
You can buy new equipment with money, but once you’ve lost face, it’s not easy to pick it back up.
After Chen Wei finished the song, everyone stood up, applause thundered, and they called for Chen Wei to perform another piece.
In response, Chen Wei shook his head and declined.
The crowd felt a sense of regret, having been so caught up in listening to Chen Wei sing that they had forgotten to start recording videos on their phones.
If this had been uploaded online, it would definitely have been a hit, no, an explosive hit! It felt in no way inferior to those kings and queens of the music world.
"By the way, could you please tell us the name of that song?"
"Yeah, logically speaking, with such a good song, I must have heard it before."
"I just made it up now, so it’s normal that you haven’t heard it," replied Chen Wei casually.
So it was improvised.
"..." It took everyone a second to realize just how terrifying that statement from Chen Wei was.
Improvising the lyrics and music on the spot and singing it like that? That’s outrageous!
Some people tried to recall the few lyrics they remembered, typed them out, and searched online, only to find that, indeed, there was no record of it anywhere.
"My god! Not only is he handsome and a good singer, but he’s also so talented. Do we actually have such a person in the Great Xia Music Circle?"
"I’ve been paying attention to the Great Xia Music Circle all year round and have never heard of him. If he existed, I definitely wouldn’t have forgotten!"
"Thousands of us sign a petition for you to debut ASAP."
...
After the hubbub subsided, when they saw that Chen Wei really didn’t want to engage with them, everyone went back to what they were doing, as the late-night snacks would not taste good if they cooled off.
"Thousands are petitioning for your debut, are you sure you don’t want to consider joining the entertainment industry, stealing all your sixth sister’s fans, and letting her experience what cruelty really is!" Leng Qianqian had experienced this kind of cruelty firsthand.
Since Chen Wei had entered the Underworld, within a few months, he had started his era of dominating the charts.
"Let’s not talk about that, where did that guy go? How come he’s disappeared?" Chen Wei had been too focused on singing just now to notice what became of Lin Zhangyang.
"He honored the bet and scurried off," answered Leng Qianqian.
"He’s quite decisive." Chen Wei felt it was much better than someone who would cling on desperately and pester repeatedly.
"But the song you just sang was really good, what’s it called?" Leng Qianqian asked.
"For now, let’s just call it ’Summer Cicada.’" Chen Wei always had a casual approach to naming songs, nonchalant.
"Summer Cicada, it feels like it’s missing a bit of flavor, but it’s not bad," said Leng Qianqian, not delving too deep into it. She didn’t understand music and could only distinguish between what sounded good and what didn’t— she didn’t have the confidence to teach Chen Wei how he should do things in that regard.
"Forget it, overthinking is pointless, let’s have the roast duck."
Chen Wei was almost full, and then mainly watched as Leng Qianqian managed to demolish nearly a duck and a half on her own.
Sometimes he really wondered if she had a Gluttonous beast living in her belly.
"I’m stuffed," Leng Qianqian said contentedly, patting her slightly protruding belly.
"I’ll go settle the bill," Chen Wei stood up and walked towards the entrance of the restaurant.
...
"That was quick?" Leng Qianqian asked in surprise.
"The owner told me someone settled our bill in advance," Chen Wei explained.
"Settled our bill? Who could it be? Could it be one of your fans?" In Leng Qianqian’s view, Chen Wei’s performance of that one song alone would easily rope in four or five dozen loyal fans.
"I don’t know, but she’s still here. You sit tight, Senior Sister, I’ll go take a look," Chen Wei patted Leng Qianqian’s shoulder a few times.
"Sure, call me if you need anything." Leng Qianqian was indeed too full and needed to rest for a bit, to let her stomach settle down.
Chen Wei walked towards the spot the owner had pointed out to him.
Arriving at the barbecue stand, he pulled out a stool and sat down across from a woman wearing sportswear and a baseball cap, her light brown short hair peeking out.
He got straight to the point, "Why did you settle my bill? Do we know each other?"
The woman had her cap pulled down low, and Chen Wei couldn’t see her face.
"I want to buy the rights to the song you just sang."
"..." The woman’s answer was even more direct than Chen Wei had anticipated.
"So it’s about that, sorry, but it’s not for sale." Having understood her intentions, Chen Wei planned to stand up and leave.
"Wait! You can name your price, I won’t bargain." Her words further proved how much she valued the song "Summer Cicada."
"It’s you!" But Chen Wei’s mind was completely focused on the woman’s face as she lifted her head.
He wasn’t familiar with this person, but he had seen her before at JM Entertainment, where she was a lyricist and composer specifically for his fellow artist Liu Meng, known as Li Feier.
Back then, she sported denim clothes, jeans, and light brown-to-white bangs with short hair, along with a pair of headphones and a lollipop in her mouth, exuding a youthful and rebellious vibe.
"..." Li Feier too seemed surprised that Chen Wei still remembered her.
After identifying Li Feier’s true identity, Chen Wei sat back down.
Full of curiosity, he asked, "You want to buy ’Summer Cicada’ to use it as a reference for learning and adaptation? Don’t tell me you plan to flip it at a high price to JM Entertainment and make a profit on the margin?"
"I have no such intention. I simply want to buy it as a reference for my learning and adaptation." To put it bluntly, Li Feier could write many songs based on this one, but without the rights, the industry would likely deem it as infringement.
"In that case, I can just give it to you for use. However, any lyrics you write must first be offered to JM Entertainment’s Liu Meng. If she’s not satisfied, you’re free to trade them." Chen Wei cheerfully agreed.
"Is it just that simple?" Li Feier felt Chen Wei was being too generous.
She had even prepared herself to be fleeced by Chen Wei, ready to sell her car and house.
"Yes," Chen Wei nodded confidently.
"Before that, show me your ideas," he insisted. He needed to see Li Feier’s potential.
If she truly had talent, he could have Liu Meng pester Li Feier in the future to take over his role as a songwriter.
"Okay!" Li Feier always carried paper and pen with her, and now she wrote down the lyrics she had been inspired to adapt with seriousness and concentration.
When inspiration strikes, work is done with half the effort.
"Please have a look." Li Feier handed Chen Wei the paper, her heart filled with unease as if offering an exam paper.
