Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaopang, as a professional general agent and company manager representative, naturally knew why the two had come.
"Please arrange for the two directors to wait for me in the meeting room. Also, please prepare the song copyright contracts; they should be here to sign them."
The staff member nodded and then left.
"Now, the countdown to 'Single Love Song' is five, four, three, two, one, release..."
The entire internet instantly saw the new single and clicked on it.
Many people initially thought this was a sad song, but they found that it wasn't like that at all. It's not that it's not sad, but rather that it evokes a special feeling.
It felt like a bachelor's vow and goal, or a self-deprecating statement. In the end, some netizens even sensed a sophisticated sense of being single.
Some people even burst out laughing while singing. Oh my god, this is making being single so special. I'm not used to it.
The song became very popular upon its release, but it also made listeners feel particularly embarrassed.
If you're single, or older, you might feel embarrassed to sing, otherwise people will look at you like you're an animal. It's shameful to be single at your age.
"Too young, I wouldn't dare sing it, because if I did, my parents might give me a good beating. 'You're so young, why aren't you studying? Singing about being single? Have you even grown up yet?'"
Those with girlfriends or who are married dare not sing this song... it's practically a death knell!
They can't sing, but that doesn't stop them from listening. Many netizens are enjoying the music, but the arguments are also increasing.
"Me, unable to grasp love"
"Always watching it slip away"
"Happy people are everywhere in the world."
Why can't I be included?
"Fighting alone for love"
"I've had enough of the bitterness of love."
People who have lost love are everywhere.
"And I'm just one of them."
As the melody of the song began to resound throughout the Wind Whisper Building, the door to the reception room was opened.
Zhang Xiaopang slowly approached, and Cao Can and Mu Chun quickly stood up and shook hands with him.
"Hello, I am Zhang Xiaofei, the chief agent of Fengyu Entertainment."
"Hello Mr. Zhang, my name is Cao Can, and I am the director of 'The Legend of the Monkey King: The Sequel'."
"Hello Mr. Zhang, my name is Mu Chun, and I am the director of the animated film 'Autumn Fish'."
The three introduced themselves to each other, and finally, got straight to the point and explained their purpose.
"Mr. Zhang, the main reason we came in person is regarding the issue I just mentioned. Do you think it's possible to..."
Cao Can blushed slightly.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Zhang Xiaopang realized that they had come to Fengyu in person because they were broke. Are film crews all this poor these days?
"Let's talk about yours first. Your Autumn Water Big Fish wants to use our 'Big Fish' as the theme song. Based on market prices, not to mention the quality of our songs, it would cost at least 30 million."
Mu Chun was stunned on the spot. Thirty million was the minimum; even if he sold himself, he wouldn't have enough. They were a small animation company, and the seven million they had was pooled together by their employees. So, he was about to kneel down.
Mu Chun stood up, knelt down in front of Zhang Xiaopang, and shouted, "Mr. Zhang, please, lower the price a bit more, I really don't have any money."
This startled Zhang Xiaopang, and he quickly pulled the other man back before he could kneel down.
Mu Chun's actions also stunned Cao Can. This guy is really something, kneeling down like that. But the starting price of 30 million RMB is indeed outrageously expensive, but the song is just so good.
Although Cao Can still has some money, it's not much; he can't afford 30 million.
So the three of them started haggling again. In the end, Zhang Xiaopang had no choice but to wake Chen Feng up because the price offered by the other party was just too outrageous.
The director of "The Legend of the Monkey King: Sequel" was alright; he offered 15 million. But the director of "Autumn Fish"—damn, he said he only had 5 million, and he even scraped it together. He sounded so pitiful.
Love must persevere through setbacks.
Love requires affirmation and persistence.
"Every single person needs to see through this."
If you want to love, don't be afraid of getting hurt.
"Find someone you love most and love deeply."
"The one I want to love, my dearest."
Say goodbye to being single.
"A passionate and devoted lover"
"A heartless and ruthless person"
"Come and give me scars."
So many people are lonely.
Few are truly happy.
Don't let love cause you to miss out.
"Leaving me, single, behind."
Singing love songs alone
The song echoed through the Wind Whisper Building, but Zhang Xiaopang paced around Chen Feng's sofa several times, too afraid to wake his boss.
"What brings you loitering around here?"
Suddenly, Li Qingning appeared behind them, holding a cup of coffee.
"Ah... Sister Qingning."
Zhang Xiaopang laughed, his savior had arrived! He then recounted what had just happened, and Li Qingning blinked upon hearing it.
"It's just a little money. Go and sign a contract with them. They can give you whatever they want. There's no need to bother them over this."
As she spoke, her gaze towards Chen Feng was filled with tenderness.
Damn it, the single love songs playing in my ears are like a demonic sound, and now they're forcibly stuffing me with dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection). Zhang Xiaopang is extremely uncomfortable.
When he returned and told Cao Can and Mu Chun, and after signing and stamping the contract, the two hugged each other excitedly and shed tears of joy.
Ultimately, they secured the rights to "Big Fish," the theme song for "Autumn Fish," for five million yuan, and "Longing," the theme song for "The Legend of the Monkey King: The Sequel," for ten million yuan.
Online, even though it's late at night, it can't stop netizens from having fun.
They finally emerged from the sadness of "Father" because "Single Love Song" was just too beautiful and catchy.
"Oh my god, guys, my neighbor's kid is getting beaten up. His parents are doing a double beating on him, and while they're beating him, they're asking him if he's dating someone."
"Stop talking! I was just humming a few lines, and my girlfriend bit me. It really hurt!"
"Hey... Chen Feng, you're so mean! My wife is threatening to divorce me, all because I sang a line about a passionate, devoted lover."
Heartless and cruel people come to leave me scars.
"Are your parents fighting? My parents are fighting right now, and they're asking each other if they want to be single. I just don't understand, this song is for single people who want girlfriends, not for you to be happy being single."
Many people can learn it after listening to it once. Because of this, the song quickly became popular all over the country and was played everywhere, including in barbershops, street stalls, restaurants, motorcycles, and shopping malls.
It can be said that this song is Chen Feng's most catchy song and the one that netizens learned the fastest, excluding children's songs.
In his dream, Feng Yu and Chen Feng felt a pair of gentle hands touching their cheeks. When they slowly opened their eyes, they realized that this was not a dream, but an attack.
Li Qingning, whose palm was on someone's face at that moment, saw Chen Feng open his eyes, her mind went blank, and she was completely stunned.
"you..."
"you..."
What are you doing?
"You're awake?"
The two spoke at the same time, and after a couple of sentences, Li Qingning withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted. Her face turned red, she felt flustered and embarrassed.
