Chapter 135: New Song Release!
The next day.
Chen Qi continued working busily in the recording studio on the production of his new song.
Meanwhile, Tiantian Music’s promotional campaign officially kicked off, starting to build momentum for Chen Qi’s new track across the entire internet.
Just as Tang Yan had predicted earlier, after Tiantian Music announced their signing of "For You," the brand’s image noticeably improved.
In many people’s minds, Tiantian Music, which had previously been the underdog among the top five music giants, was no longer viewed as such. Following the releases of "Beyond Light Years" and "For You," their status among netizens soared dramatically!
Within just twelve hours after the news broke, Tiantian Music experienced a fierce wave of traffic, with user numbers visibly increasing, much to the delight of its senior executives.
Knowing that the previous hit "Beyond Light Years" was also connected to Chen Qi, these executives began to pay extra attention to him.
For some reason, they felt Chen Qi might still have even better musical works up his sleeve.
They believed it was necessary to maintain a good collaborative relationship with him.
On the third day.
At dusk.
"For You" was finally completed.
After nearly three days of hard work, Chen Qi listened carefully to the final version and sincerely felt it was quite good.
He had never realized before that his singing could actually sound so pleasant.
Hurrying to hand the song over to Tang Yan before nightfall, Chen Qi, utterly exhausted, returned straight to his rented room and slept deeply.
When he woke up, it was already past nine the next morning.
There were just over twenty minutes left before the new song’s release.
Without rushing, he finished his morning routine and checked his phone to see what was happening online.
The internet was filled with eager anticipation; many people were waiting for the release of his new song.
Ten o’clock arrived swiftly, and the official version of "For You" was launched promptly on Tiantian Music.
Chen Qi’s professionally treated vocals combined with the music once again amazed countless netizens!
The song was met with a flood of praise online!
Among the overwhelmingly positive comments, a few playful netizens seriously debated whether Chen Qi was neglecting his main career.
He was obviously involved in the television industry, yet here he was stirring things up in the music world.
If it were just a casual attempt, it would be one thing, but he had caused such a big splash!
Didn’t those professional singers feel embarrassed?
Did he realize he was putting them in an awkward position?
Were they accusing him of causing trouble?
Troublemaking, perhaps?
But…
If you can write songs, write more of them!
Watching these playful netizens’ disguised compliments, many ordinary users couldn’t help but laugh aloud.
Chen Qi noticed these humorous remarks but only smiled faintly without responding.
After briefly checking Tiantian Music’s data, he went out to buy groceries to prepare lunch.
...
At a certain university.
Su Xiaoxiao, dressed in a plain, solid-colored long dress, walked slowly across the campus, a moving piece of scenery that attracted many admiring glances along the way.
Yet her mood was somewhat downcast.
She was here to recruit.
For days, she had been running between various universities, tasked by Chen Qi with finding talented students specializing in special effects and post-production.
But to her disappointment, the results were meager.
After all this effort, she had only found two students majoring in post-production and none in special effects.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t find them—it was that she couldn’t convince them.
To find outstanding students in these fields, she had pulled strings with teachers and classmates, investing considerable effort, and finally managed to meet some candidates.
However, upon hearing that Chen Qi’s studio was an obscure, unknown company, they flatly rejected her.
“No interest!”
Even after she earnestly introduced Chen Qi’s identity, they remained uninterested.
They were looking for established companies with strong capabilities and rich experience for internships—not a newly founded startup.
They unanimously believed there was little to learn at such a fledgling company.
Reject!
Reject!
Reject!
After meeting several people, all she got were refusals.
Feeling disheartened, Su Xiaoxiao began to worry whether she could complete this task.
Just then, her phone rang.
Her infatuated roommate sent her a song, excitedly urging her to listen.
"For You?" Seeing the unremarkable title, the downcast Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t inclined to listen.
But as she was about to put her phone away, her roommate sent another message.
She said the song was sung by Chen Qi himself. Not only that, but he had written it too!
Chen Qi?
Seeing that immensely familiar name, Su Xiaoxiao froze for a moment, unable to hide the astonishment in her eyes.
She had been running between universities all these days, completely unaware that Chen Qi had released a new song.
In that instant, she was genuinely surprised.
She knew Chen Qi could write scripts and direct, but…
He could write songs as well?
After a long moment of stunned silence, she hesitantly played the song.
And then, she listened.
After finishing, she remained silent for a long time.
The song sounded… pretty good!
As she slowly came to terms with it, Su Xiaoxiao glanced around, found a nearby pavilion to sit in, and opened her phone to search for recent news about Chen Qi.
Though she worked at Chen Qi’s studio, she never really knew what he was busy with.
Even the last incident at the 4S dealership she learned about only through the internet.
Typing the keyword "For You" into the search bar brought up a series of results quickly.
Within minutes, Su Xiaoxiao understood the whole story.
She found the video of Chen Qi that night in the square.
Seeing him righteously shout, "Reject him," Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but smile.
This was the first time she saw such a shameless side of Chen Qi!
Then she watched him flawlessly salvage that impromptu proposal ceremony.
And then, she heard the gift he gave to the couple.
A perfectly fitting song!
Watching Chen Qi sing so earnestly, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly found herself dazed.
Unconsciously, a hint of longing and envy appeared in her eyes.
She thought the proposal was so romantic!
She thought the girl was incredibly lucky!
After hearing Chen Qi’s unaccompanied singing, Su Xiaoxiao smiled.
After a brief silence, she opened Tiantian Music again and listened to the official version.
While listening, she shared the same suspicion as many others.
She doubted the song was written on the spot by Chen Qi.
Although Chen Qi seemed to deny it, she felt strongly it was true.
If it wasn’t freshly written, how could it be so perfectly fitting?
