Chapter 170 is missing one opportunity!
Chapter 170 is missing one opportunity!
Inside the recording studio, under the dim lights, a "golden hits wholesale" event, worthy of being recorded in the history of this pink-haired hunk studio, is underway.
Time passed second by second.
Old Lei's emotions went through a rollercoaster ride before finally settling into a straight line.
The first song is "Fairy Tale".
When Jiang Bai sat in front of the keyboard and sang "I wish I could become the angel you love in a fairy tale" with deep affection.
In the control room, Lao Lei tightly hugged his Hello Kitty plush pillow, his eyes instantly welling up with tears, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"Genius! Absolutely a genius!"
"This melody is so catchy! These lyrics are so heartwarming! Even this rough guy like me wants to fall in love!"
"Dude, what's wrong with your brain? If this song gets released, so many girls will be crying their eyes out!"
The second song is titled "The Actor".
The style changed abruptly.
The deep piano, the suppressed voice.
"I should play along and pretend I didn't see it..."
Old Lei dropped his playful grin and listened intently, nodding frequently.
"Awesome! These lyrics are so insightful!"
"Isn't this the reality for most of us? Living behind masks, putting on an act for each other."
"Brother, you're so young, but you're so experienced! Your creative skills are still top-notch!"
The third song is titled "Big City, Small Love".
A light and upbeat R&B rhythm begins, "My head is full of you, my heart is full of you~"
Old Lei leaned back in his chair, his expression becoming somewhat blank.
"Another classic song..."
"It's a completely different style again..."
"Is this kid's creative inspiration tap water? He never turns off the tap!"
At this moment, his shock had begun to transform into a numb sense of "it's only natural".
The fourth song is titled "The Breakup Frontline Alliance".
Retro drumbeats, addictive melody.
Jiang Bai sang and danced in the shed, exuding a flamboyant charm.
She always only leaves her phone number.
Old Lei wiped away his tears while twisting along, but his face was no longer showing any emotion.
"Oh, retro disco."
"That's good, that's pretty brainwashing."
"Next song."
The fifth song is "Miss Dong".
A guitar, a gentle melody.
"I fell in love with a wild horse, but I have no grassland at home..."
The song ended.
Lei took off his headphones, and finally a different expression appeared on his face.
He smacked his lips and gave an extremely bland, even slightly critical, evaluation:
"Hmm... Compared to the previous songs, this one has a slightly simpler melody and the arrangement isn't fancy enough. It's a bit lacking."
but!
Old Lei paused, then added:
"However, it's only slightly inferior to yourself."
"If you threw these into the current market... they'd still crush those melodramatic folk singers! These lyrics are really something!"
.......
Recording is now complete.
Jiang Bai is a perfectionist. He listened to these songs repeatedly, picked out a few minor flaws, and re-recorded them several times until he was sure that every breath was perfect before he announced that the work was finished.
"call......."
Jiang Bai walked out of the recording studio, took the water Lao Lei handed him, and drank it all in one gulp.
At this moment, Lao Lei was staring at the rows of neat audio waveforms on the computer screen, his brows furrowed in a deep frown. He paced back and forth in the pink room, appearing unusually anxious.
Something's not right...
"This is really not right!"
Old Lei suddenly turned around, stared at Jiang Bai, and had a look on his face that said, "The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is."
"Brother, I just don't understand!"
"Look at these songs, which one isn't a masterpiece? Which one isn't of hit song quality?"
"Sentimental, rock, folk, retro, pop..."
"Five styles! Five singing styles! You've mastered them all!"
"Plus that song from last time, 'My Future Is Not a Dream'..."
"You have so much talent, and your singing is so amazing, why aren't you famous?!"
Looking at the dismal "10 views" on Jiang Bai's phone, Lao Lei slapped his thigh in heartache:
"With your skill level, that lousy platform only gave you 10 views? Are their servers blind?!"
"This is unscientific! This is simply outrageous!"
Old Lei pulled out his phone, his face resolute:
"No way! Bro, I can't watch such a great song be buried!"
"I'll help you promote it!"
"Although I'm not doing very well in life, I still have a few friends in the music industry on social media!"
"I'll send it to the group right now! I'll do it even if it means losing face!"
Seeing that Lao Lei was even more anxious than he was, Jiang Bai felt a warmth in his heart.
He smiled and pressed down on Lao Lei's hand:
"Brother Lei, don't worry."
"Haste makes waste."
"Even the best wine needs advertising; I understand that."
"but......."
A glint of confidence flashed in Jiang Bai's eyes:
"In this internet age, if something is good enough, it's only a matter of time before it becomes popular."
"What I lack now is just an opportunity."
"An opportunity that would put me in the spotlight."
"As long as the right opportunity arises, I'm bound to become a huge star!"
Old Lei stared at Jiang Bai's resolute gaze, paused for a moment, and then sighed:
"Okay, you have a really good attitude."
"I'm convinced."
After saying goodbye to Lao Lei, Jiang Bai walked out of the studio.
It was already 4:30 PM, and the streets of Kyoto were bustling with traffic.
Jiang Bai looked up at the blinding sky, his confidence gradually crumbling into a helpless, bitter smile.
"The opportunity..."
"I'm also waiting for the right opportunity."
"But the current situation is..."
He thought of Jiang Baizhi, the sweet goddess with a small online account who dominated the internet, ranked in the top three on trending searches, and was loved by thousands.
Then he looked at his own large account, Jiang Bai, which only had a few favorites, all of which were generous donations.
tragic.
It was too tragic.
"Completely defeated in men's clothing, utterly crushed in women's clothing."
"My main account is ruined, but my alt account is max level."
Jiang Bai clenched his fists and let out a sorrowful cry in his heart:
"Jiang Bai, dressed as a man! Get your act together!"
"Let it become popular quickly!"
"We are the original form!"
"Defeat the cross-dressing Jiang Baizhi as soon as possible! Defeat the max-level alt account!"
"I don't want people to call me 'little sister' every time I go out!"
