"Purchase a Music Chest".

Silently recite it in your mind.

For Li Zhaoyang, it doesn't matter what kind of new song he releases next, as long as he releases two new songs together to maximize the effect.

We also want to quickly bring Sunset Company into the view of American audiences.

[Ding! 300,000 reputation points have been successfully deducted. The host has obtained a music treasure chest.]

"Open it." I silently repeated in my mind.

[Ding! Successfully opened, randomly obtained all professional knowledge of the song "Sunny Day"!]

"Sunny Day?" Li Zhaoyang sat up in surprise. It was Jay Chou's ancient-style song "Sunny Day".

When Jay Chou's songs come out, won't they just cause a frenzy of destruction?

"Is the song title 'Sunny Day'?" Zhang Xincheng asked. "How about we adjourn the meeting first, and wait until Zhaoyang finishes composing it, then we can..."

"I've finished writing it, supervisor. May I borrow your notebook?" Li Zhaoyang's eyes shone brightly.

“Okay.” Zhang Xincheng nodded, and even leaned close to Zhang Shulan to ask in a low voice, “Director… should we cooperate with Zhaoyang later? After all, we can’t refuse him.”

Zhang Shulan didn't speak, but stared intently at Li Zhaoyang. These leaders who had served abroad for several years didn't understand Zhaoyang, but she did.

Zhaoyang is a very steady and reliable person, not the kind of person who deliberately tries to show off.

He said he would write a song on the spot, so it definitely wasn't just a simple act of writing a song to show off.

That leaves only one possibility: Zhaoyang has found inspiration.

Da da da—

Although the keyboard that comes with the laptop doesn't feel as good as a mechanical keyboard, it's still fine for writing lyrics of several hundred words.

While writing lyrics, Li Zhaoyang also composed music.

Composing music is about setting the tone for a song, letting you know how each lyric should be sung.

"But the rain gradually... got so heavy that I couldn't see you anymore?" Following the lyrics, the marketing manager felt that something was off: "Wait a minute, isn't the song title 'Sunny Day'? Why does the lyrics make it seem like it's always raining?"

"Shut up, stop making noise!" Zhang Xincheng, the head of the composition department, gradually got into the zone. He needed a quiet environment to look at the lyrics.

About ten minutes later,

Zhang Xincheng grinned and hummed along to the tune: "Once upon a time, there was someone who loved you for a long time, but the rain gradually blew the distance so far away. It was so hard to love you for just one more day, but in the end, you seemed to say goodbye... What a beautiful scene, what a beautiful scene!"

Zhang Xincheng spread his arms wide, as if enjoying the feeling of being drenched in rain: "Although the song title is 'Sunny Day,' the whole story of this song... is all about rain, because I tried holding your hand on a windy day, but there's a line 'but unfortunately,' those two words encompass so much meaning, widening the distance between us. A masterpiece, a masterpiece! Absolutely a masterpiece, damn, the quality is comparable to works created by the god of music!"

Grabbing Li Zhaoyang's shoulders, Zhang Xincheng spoke excitedly, spittle flying from his mouth: "Zhaoyang, did you really write this on the spot? I don't believe it. A work written on the spot has reached the level of a music god. Are you sure you're a bronze medalist? Are you sure you're a young lyricist and composer in your twenties?"

"The song's concept is so beautiful, with its elegant ancient-style melody and thought-provoking lyrics. Whether it was written on the spot is not important; what's important is that even if you asked a top writer, they might not be able to write something like this." Manager Gou looked at Li Zhaoyang in astonishment, then glanced at Director Zhang.

This young man is already showing signs of becoming a master of music.

"Wait... Zhao Yang's lyrics and music are so good, why was he banned by the Chinese music scene?" The marketing manager couldn't figure it out.

With "Sunny Day" and "Sold Out," are we still worried about being squeezed out by Sihai Group in the next month or two?

As for what happens in a month or two, that's something for later; we'll think about it then.

Zhang Shulan proactively changed the subject from the order, saying, "Zhaoyang, what's the order of song releases? Or should we release both songs together?"

Compared to the shock of these supervisors, Zhang Shulan felt more admiration; Zhao Yang was no ordinary person.

What would Director Song's expression be if he knew that Zhao Yang had just reported to the branch office and produced two masterpieces?

Was it shock, joy, or relief?

Perhaps all of them?

"Yes, yes, the order in which songs are released is very important." Zhang Xincheng got so excited that he was so focused on looking at the lyrics that he forgot all about the important things.

"The reason why Chinese songs have such a small market share in the United States is mainly because there is no genre that can become popular. Traditional Chinese style songs are actually popular in the United States."

After listening to Li Zhaoyang's words, the marketing manager nodded in agreement: "Li Zhaoyang is right. In the American music scene, one or two songs with Chinese style or ancient style will occasionally become popular every year. This also shows that Chinese songs can be popular here. The key is quality."

“So,” Li Zhaoyang devised a plan in two seconds after hearing the marketing manager’s words: “Record both songs together and then promote them extensively. Release ‘Sold Out’ first, and after it creates a high-energy editing frenzy in the short video market, then use that popularity to release the ancient-style song ‘Sunny Day’ and make the name of ‘Sunset’ go far.”

What Sunset Glow needs now is fame.

If "Sold Out" is successful, its popularity will definitely be high. Capitalizing on this momentum, Sunset will solidify its position in the American music scene.

"Is this feasible?" Zhang Xincheng looked at the marketing manager.

“This plan is brilliant… brilliant,” the marketing manager said. “This was my idea before, to focus on short video editing, and I can handle that.”

Lao Gou also stepped forward: "Let me hype up the popularity of traditional Chinese style music. I've even thought of the title: [Are you feeling lonely in a foreign land? Is it hard to find some good Chinese songs here? If one day you open your music app and happen to see a traditional Chinese style song that matches your taste and quality, wouldn't it give you a feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign land?]"

"Alright, next is the selection process. We'll use both methods simultaneously, and our Sunset Glow team will have completely turned the tide." Zhang Xincheng became more and more excited as he spoke.

Just a few hours ago, he was still worried about the company's predicament; a few hours later, that worry had vanished.

The eyes of several supervisors were focused on Li Zhaoyang.

He looks like a young person, but his songwriting skills are so high.

"Before selecting people, let's follow the director's instructions and divide the signing process into three groups." Li Zhaoyang felt that grouping was very important.

In the future, we will definitely need to diversify our development.

I have a broad knowledge of both foreign languages ​​and Chinese songs.

It is crucial to categorize participants into foreign language groups, Chinese language groups, and all-around groups.
