After several recordings, Zhang Wei became more and more proficient, and his understanding of the song deepened.
"Okay, that's it. Send it directly to the client as the official version."
Finally, Su Yu made the decision.
It was originally a demo recording, but it unexpectedly achieved the quality of an official version.
This was a small surprise.
Zhang Wei came out of the recording studio.
Wu Ming and Li Rang, two newcomers, looked on with envy.
However, despite their envy, they were also convinced.
Their own skills were not good enough, and they couldn't seize the opportunity; this was their own problem.
"You two go back first. Work hard, and you'll have opportunities eventually."
A Ru finished speaking to the two, who nodded and left the recording studio.
"Let's go, let's talk about the profit sharing."
Su Yu looked at Zhang Wei and smiled at him.
Upon hearing this, the latter became incredibly excited.
Close to success, only the last step remained!
...
Since it was an internal contract, it was resolved directly in Zhao Yuan's office.
After A Ru brought up the contract,
Zhang Wei's palms began to sweat.
This time, he might truly make a comeback, and based on the expression of Teacher Tingyu, his performance should have been very satisfactory.
"For this song, what kind of profit sharing do you want?"
Su Yu asked, looking up.
"What is your and the company's profit sharing?" Zhang Wei asked cautiously.
He knew that the company had a fixed profit sharing, and then the singer and producer would separately divide the remainder.
"The company takes one-tenth."
"What?"
Zhang Wei exclaimed in surprise.
Did this mean that Tingyu already had the treatment of a ace producer at Xinghui?
However, thinking about his ability to write so many good songs, Zhang Wei, although surprised, felt it was only natural.
The producer profession has always been about speaking with strength.
"I... I could take thirty percent before..." he said with a sheepish smile after thinking.
"Thirty percent?" Su Yu was taken aback, then frowned.
Seeing this, Zhang Wei's heart sank. He suddenly remembered what A Ru had said earlier.
He quickly said, "However, it's my greatest honor to collaborate with Teacher Tingyu. Of course, I can't ask for any profit sharing. I don't want any!"
After speaking, he looked at Su Yu nervously.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yuan and A Ru exchanged glances and showed a hint of a mysterious smile.
"Alright."
Su Yu's frown finally relaxed.
He signed his name on the contract.
Zhang Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That was close!
Fortunately, he reacted quickly.
It was only now that he understood why Tingyu exclusively favored newcomers.
It turned out that newcomers were cheaper...
...
December arrived.
"Blue and White Porcelain"'s dominance on the ancient style chart officially ended.
However, it remained firm at the top of the popular song chart.
End of the year.
School would also be on holiday soon.
Recently, the student union of Qingda University was preparing for the year-end annual meeting.
As an arts university, Qingda naturally attached great importance to its annual meeting.
In the evening.
The sports field of Qingda University had few people active due to the cooling weather.
The winter in Shuangqing City arrived swiftly; within just a day or two, the weather had become bone-chilling.
"Su Yu, the school wants us to perform a program at the annual meeting."
Lin Yanyu leaned on Su Yu's shoulder and whispered to him.
"What program?"
Su Yu cupped her cold little hand in his palm, blowing warm air into it.
"They want us to go up and sing a song together."
Lin Yanyu tilted her head, her small face flushed from the cold.
"Sing together?"
"That's right, this is a task assigned by the school, and the students are also very excited. After all, eighty percent of the students in the entire school are members of our fan club."
Lin Yanyu covered her mouth and chuckled.
Even she was a little surprised, as they hadn't been together for very long, yet the fan club had developed so rapidly.
"So, we have to go..."
Su Yu actually didn't want to go on stage; he preferred to keep a low profile.
However, when he was with Lin Yanyu, it seemed impossible to stay low-key.
They were the center of attention wherever they went.
Singing on stage might seem insignificant, but the system had mentioned that his memories might recover through these actions, and he couldn't guarantee that his depression wouldn't relapse if his memories returned.
"Su Yu, your singing is really beautiful. You are so talented, everyone should know about it. Also, I want to have a duet song with you. You'll write one for me, right?"
After hearing Su Yu sing last time, Lin Yanyu had completely become his little fan girl.
Su Yu's singing skills were even better than those of professional singers.
Moreover, he could write so many amazing songs.
If he became a singer, with his singing and songwriting talent, he would definitely become the most dazzling star.
"You want to groom me into a singer..."
Su Yu rubbed her head and chuckled lightly.
He finally understood why the system said Lin Yanyu was his light.
He carried a burden in his heart, so he always wanted to be low-key.
And her idea was that excellence should be seen.
Being with her felt like she was pulling him from behind the scenes to the front stage.
Perhaps, after being with her for a long time, he could also be influenced by her lively personality and completely overcome his depression.
"If you become a singer, you'll definitely reach the level of a Heavenly King in no time."
Lin Yanyu nuzzled her head against his palm; she loved the feeling of Su Yu rubbing her head.
"Heavenly King?"
Su Yu was taken aback. That bad feeling resurfaced in his heart.
The scolding voices began to echo in his ears again.
He shook his head, finally took a deep breath, and said, "Alright, I'll write a duet song for you."
He could tell that Lin Yanyu really wanted him to accompany her to sing.
Moreover, most of the school were his fan club members, so if he went on stage, no one would likely scold him. Perhaps it would even have a good therapeutic effect on his depression.
"Hehe, I knew you were the best!"
Lin Yanyu's smile bloomed like a flower, and she then kissed Su Yu on the cheek.
"Why are your lips so cold too? Here, let me warm them up."
Su Yu pulled her into his arms without further ado.
Then he lowered his head and pressed his lips against her cold ones.
Lin Yanyu let out a soft moan, closed her eyes.
Then she wrapped her arms around Su Yu's waist, parted her lips, and allowed him to take his fill.
After a long while, they separated.
Su Yu panted heavily and looked at Lin Yanyu with a playful smile.
"You're annoying!" Lin Yanyu's pretty face blushed, and she playfully punched Su Yu's chest with her fist.
"Little fairy, I'm looking for a house lately. Once I buy one, shall we move in?"
Su Yu had looked at a few places these past few days. He planned to look at more floor plans, then sort them out, and choose together with Lin Yanyu.
"Ah... so soon?" Lin Yanyu exclaimed in surprise, seeming a little flustered.
"If you don't want to, then forget it," Su Yu said with a smile.
"No... after you meet my parents, then we can live together, okay?"
When she said the words "live together," her eyes were filled with shyness.
Su Yu nodded, "Of course. After we find a house, I'll accompany you to meet your future father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Lin Yanyu heard this and buried her head sweetly in Su Yu's embrace.
