Faced with Michelle's questioning, Xiao Qingfeng smiled slightly.
"I haven't even had a chance to write it yet. You know I've been busy making the cartoon music video for 'Rakshasa Sea City' these past few days!"
Michelle, as if she had known all along, said, "I knew you would say that, which is why I came to find you in person. So you can't go anywhere today unless you finish writing the song!"
Xiao Qingfeng couldn't help but smile. To him, Mi Qi'er's behavior was like a child throwing a tantrum, and he was helpless to do anything about it.
"Writing songs is no problem. I've said on the show that I can give you the right to perform the songs, but I won't sell the copyright."
Michelle knew about the feud between Xiao Qingfeng and Phoenix Media, so she naturally had no objection to it.
"There's a second point. Once the song is written, I'll license it to you for ten years. As for the fee, you can decide what to pay once you're satisfied."
Although it was rumored in the industry that Michelle was rich, Xiao Qingfeng didn't know exactly how rich she was.
As for letting the other party decide how much to give, it wasn't that Xiao Qingfeng was unwilling to spend money, but rather that Mi Qi'er had indeed helped him this time, so this was a way of repaying her favor.
Furthermore, songwriting is something that comes naturally to me; I can just copy and paste. Even if I could maintain one song a week for decades, it wouldn't be a problem.
Looking at the determined Mi Qi'er, Xiao Qingfeng shrugged helplessly and said, "Alright, Miss Mi, tell me what kind of style you want first?"
Michelle blinked, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Hmm... I want a song that sounds romantic yet a little melancholic, one that makes you want to cry at night, but also makes you feel warm inside."
Xiao Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Oh, your request is quite unique, both tearful and heartwarming, that's no easy feat!"
Michelle rolled her eyes at him: "Stop rambling, can you even write it?"
Xiao Qingfeng quickly waved his hand: "Yes, yes, yes, but I need to ask again, would you like a more upbeat melody or something more soothing?"
Michelle frowned, tapping her chin lightly with her finger: "Be a little lighter, but not too fast, or you won't get the feeling."
Xiao Qingfeng nodded, and said thoughtfully, "What about the lyrics? Do you prefer something more straightforward, or something more subtle?"
Michelle glared at him: "Why do you have so many questions? I've told you everything, what more do you want from me?"
Michelle glared angrily at Xiao Qingfeng, convinced that he was doing it on purpose.
After thinking for a while, Michelle still spoke up: "Let's be more subtle. Being too straightforward makes it seem shallow."
After some back-and-forth conversation, Xiao Qingfeng finally figured out Mi Qi'er's preferences. He closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then opened them.
He said confidently, "Alright, Miss Mi, just wait and see, I'll write it down for you right away."
Xiao Qingfeng sat down at the piano, his fingers dancing nimbly across the keys, humming a melody. Soon, a beautiful tune flowed out.
He played the instrument while muttering incantations to himself!
As Michelle listened, her eyes gradually lit up; she seemed to already see the song's future glory.
......
The day after meeting Xiao Qingfeng, Michelle Studio released a teaser.
[Michelle's brand new masterpiece is coming soon! Her meticulously prepared new song will premiere on the popular variety show "Singer Who Makes Waves." This marks a new breakthrough in her musical journey; what surprises will it bring? Let's wait and see!]
After the announcement was released, Michelle's comment section instantly exploded. After all, Michelle hadn't released a new song for a whole year, so her fans were in for a treat.
"Qier is amazing! I'm looking forward to her new song stunning the audience!"
"My sister has always been so outstanding, I believe her new song will definitely achieve even greater success!"
"I'm so excited to hear your new song!"
"I'll support you no matter what, Michelle, keep going!"
"Looking forward to seeing you shine on the stage of 'Singer Who Makes Waves'!"
"I hope the new song will become my favorite of the year. Go, Michelle!"
"Mickey, you are my music goddess. I believe this new song will definitely become a classic among classics. Keep it up!"
"Dear Michelle, your work always surprises me, and this time will definitely be no exception. I'm super excited!"
"Sister Qi'er, every song of yours has been a companion on my journey of growth. I look forward to your new song bringing me more warmth and strength!"
"Mickey, we've all seen your talent and hard work. We believe your new song will make even more people fall in love with your music. We're totally rooting for you!"
"We look forward to your new song shining like a light in our lives. Michelle, you are the best, keep up the good work!"
"I'm sure my sister's new song will be as beautiful as heavenly music. I'm already ready to listen to it on repeat!"
"Mickey, you are a shining star in the music industry. We look forward to your new song shining on the stage again. We will always support you!"
"I can't wait to hear your new song. I feel like it's going to be a hit. Keep it up!"
......
Having just weathered the storm of rumors with Xiao Qingfeng, Michelle used a single announcement to directly draw netizens' attention to her new song, generating considerable buzz.
On the other hand, Jing Chenxi's team spent millions of yuan to suppress the popularity of "Rakshasa City", but the effect was minimal.
Often, just when one side manages to suppress a wave of traffic, someone else starts releasing related works about "Rakshasa Sea City," making it impossible to suppress them all.
Meanwhile, Meng Xianghui, the head of the department at the Kyoto Conservatory of Music, conducted a comprehensive and detailed review of all of Xiao Qingfeng's works from the past month or so from a professional perspective.
First came "The Wind Rises" and "Cherish" at the graduation party, followed by four new songs performed on the stage of "Singer Who Makes Waves": "If Love Has a Destiny," "Silence is Golden," "The Lone Warrior," "Father," and the latest "Rakshasa City."
Meng Xianghui conducted a detailed analysis of all of Xiao Qingfeng's songs from a professional perspective, writing a total of seven albums.
In conclusion, Xiao Qingfeng's musical creations encompass themes of family, friendship, love, social responsibility, and even criticism of current affairs.
Although Meng Xianghui is not a professional singer in the music industry, at least a quarter of the popular singers in the music industry are his students, so the article was forwarded and commented on by many people in the industry as soon as it was published.
As a result, Xiao Qingfeng has become a highly sought-after original singer in the music scene, and his status in the composition world has also risen accordingly.
Xiao Qingfeng immediately dialed Director Meng Xianghui's number, and the call was quickly answered.
"Director, I am truly flattered by your analysis and evaluation of those seven issues. Thank you so much!"
Meng Xianghui laughed heartily: "Qingfeng, you're a talented kid. I was just telling the truth. Your work is indeed excellent and worth studying carefully."
"Director, I wouldn't be where I am today without your support and guidance all along. I feel very reassured to receive such professional recognition from you."
Meng Xianghui said earnestly, "Qingfeng, you must continue to maintain this passion for creation and not be disturbed by outside voices. I believe you will go further and further on your musical journey and create more classics."
Xiao Qingfeng replied firmly, "Director, rest assured, I will definitely live up to your expectations and strive to create more and better works."
Meng Xianghui said with satisfaction, "Great, kid! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your amazing performances. Keep it up!"
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Qingfeng felt a touch of emotion!
Xiao Qingfeng had just hung up the phone when his cell phone rang again!
