Jiang Chen and Zhao Yunxuan were university classmates.
They met, understood each other, and fell in love.
From campus life to society, their startup business succeeded, and they were a...
I paid to listen to "Delete It" once and found it very cheesy.
Xue Zhiqian never expected that Jiang Chen was just as good as him.
Is Jiang Chen trying to steal his market share?
We can't just sit idly by!
So he immediately contacted Jiang Chen.
Seeing Xue Zhiqian come to see him again, he wondered what the matter was this time.
Jiang Chen: "Teacher Xue, what brings you here?"
Xue Zhiqian: "You little brat, are you trying to steal my job?"
Jiang Chen looked completely bewildered: "No way! Let's not interfere with each other, okay!"
Xue Zhiqian: "No? Then why is your fourth song so cheesy?"
Jiang Chen then realized why the other party had come with such a fierce and aggressive attitude.
The fourth song turned into a catchy pop song, which was unexpected for him.
He was forced into it.
"Sorry, my skills are limited, I accidentally wrote a cheesy pop song, please forgive me, [King of Cheesy Pop Songs]!"
He said jokingly.
Xue Zhiqian retorted, clearly bothered, "You're the one who's a 'King of Bubblegum Pop'!"
Jiang Chen: "No, no, this is an honor that Teacher Xue has earned over so many years in the music industry. I would never dare to take it!"
Xue Zhiqian: "Let me tell you, don't compete with me! Anyone who competes with me is a hopeless singer with limited room for growth!"
Jiang Chen, after much painful reflection, realized his mistake.
"Don't worry, Teacher Xue, I will definitely look forward and will not let you down!"
That shows a decent attitude of repentance.
Xue Zhiqian calmed his anger.
Are you free?
Jiang Chen asked in confusion, "What?"
Xue Zhiqian cut to the chase: "I want to see you!"
Jiang Chen got goosebumps: "Why do you want to see me?"
Xue Zhiqian replied bluntly: "Let's see if you can become a hit!"
Jiang Chen looked completely bewildered: "What if I can become one, and what if I can't?"
Xue Zhiqian: "If you can make it a hit, I'll give you a hand!"
I originally wanted to help him.
Jiang Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, appreciating Xue Zhiqian's good intentions.
"Forget it! I want to rely on myself!"
It's very unpleasant to owe someone a favor.
He didn't want anyone to have any leverage over him.
Xue Zhiqian asked in surprise, "Are you sure this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"
Jiang Chen: "If I wanted to become famous quickly, I would have gone through the record company route long ago."
Hsieh Chih-chien: "Record companies won't promote you 100%! If you're just average-looking, they might even blacklist you!"
Jiang Chen argued his case based on reason.
"I am a singer-songwriter, and no matter how much they try to sideline me, it won't make a difference."
"Gold will always shine."
"Besides, we live in the internet age now, and they can't cover everything up with just one hand!"
There's nothing wrong with that statement.
With the rise of the internet, many singers have become famous through this route.
For example, Xu Song, Liu Yuning, Feng Timo, Chen Xuening, etc.
Xue Zhiqian: "You really don't intend to let me lend you a hand?"
Jiang Chen said firmly, "I don't want to be controlled by anyone!"
He likes this personality.
Singers should be free and unrestrained.
This is the only way to create the most beautiful songs.
Xue Zhiqian: "Alright then, good luck, I won't bother you anymore!"
Jiang Chen: "Mm!"
After hanging up the phone, Xue Zhiqian sent a WeChat message to Li Ronghao.
They learned that Jiang Chen wanted to rise to prominence on his own.
This personality and this confidence are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Li Ronghao: "I never imagined that a new singer could be so calm and confident!"
Xue Zhiqian felt a mix of emotion and envy.
Singer-songwriters are awesome!
"You can tell just by how fast he releases songs; it's impossible to keep up!"
Li Ronghao was taken aback: "He released a new song again?"
Xue Zhiqian responded.
"Yes, I just released a song called 'Delete It'!"
"The lyrics are a bit straightforward, but the quality is quite high!"
After listening, I realized it was indeed the case.
Li Ronghao admired Jiang Chen even more.
Even though it's a catchy pop song, it's still so catchy; the artist's talent is absolutely amazing.
In addition, their creative speed is frighteningly fast.
He created a new song in less than a day.
Although it's mouthwatering, it's not something that can be easily accomplished.
This requires exceptional talent and ability to write with divine inspiration and speak eloquently.
"This kid has a bright future ahead of him!"
Xue Zhiqian wholeheartedly agreed: "I'm increasingly looking forward to meeting him!"
Li Ronghao: "When he becomes popular beyond his circle, he will be discovered by music variety shows, and then there will be a chance to meet him!"
Xue Zhiqian: "I estimate it won't take too long!"
Li Ronghao changed the subject: "Should we release the cover of 'Ugly Monster'?"
Hsieh Chih-chien: "Sure, it wasn't him who begged me, it was me who wanted to sing it; I wanted to see how the fans would rate the song!"
Li Ronghao: "Then send it!"
Without hesitation, Xue Zhiqian immediately released the song "Ugly Monster" on his account.
Soon after it was posted, tens of thousands of fans saw it.
After listening to it, I feel like Lao Xue has released another hit song.
But when they saw that the original singer wasn't Xue Zhiqian, they were all dumbfounded.
Who sings this song?
Which big star's song caught Xue Zhiqian's eye?
After some searching, I found out she was a new singer.
After hearing the original version of "The Ugly Duckling," they were stunned, and their entire worldview was turned upside down.
Can you believe that Lao Xue actually lost to a new singer?
"It's almost time," Xue Zhiqian asked on Weibo.
"Which is better, the cover version or the original version?"
"I want to hear the truth!"
Fans left numerous comments below.
"To be honest, even though I'm a fan of yours, the original version sounds better!"
