It was only a single sentence from the intern that snapped everyone out of their daze.
In fact, the situation of having two lyrics for one song is very common on Earth.
Many songs have both Mandarin and Cantonese versions, expressing different emotions through different lyrics and arrangements.
However, such successful examples are extremely rare on Earth.
That's why everyone immediately thought Su Can had sent over "Ten Years"!
About one-third of the songwriters, composers, and singers at Eternal Music can understand Cantonese.
Everyone else crowded in front of the screen to read the subtitles.
"If this chandelier were to cascade down."
"Or perhaps I will no longer exist."
Even if you don't love it.
"There is no need to separate them."
"What if I were to suffer from severe dementia at this moment?"
"There is no need to be loved."
"Always dreaming in bed."
"I will never be sad again for the rest of my life."
There were two surprises on everyone's faces.
The first surprise was that although the demo was clearly synthesized electronic voice, the electronic voice completely imitated Su Can's voice, making it sound as if Su Can himself was singing.
Of course, they didn't know that this was the system's simulated human voice function, which could achieve 90% similarity.
All they knew was that this hoarse, weary singing voice infused the song with a new soul.
The second layer of surprise comes from the lyrics, which imbue the song with a different kind of emotion.
"Ten Years" tells the story of longing for a lover after separation and helplessness in the face of reality, with a faint sadness lingering in the heart.
Ten years of longing and regret have finally turned into a deep sigh.
The emotions depicted in "Ten Years" can be summarized in four words: the cruel twists of fate.
But "Next Year Today" is different.
It tells the story of a heartbroken person who feels hopeless and lives like a walking corpse, filled with excruciating pain, yet constantly blaming fate and others!
That particular part of the song is a classic.
"This time next year, I haven't seen you for a year."
"Who would be willing to change, to leave you for sixty years?"
"I hope I can recognize your children."
Even as we parted, I could still hear you saying goodbye.
I'd rather be struck by a chandelier and become mentally impaired than suffer the pain of heartbreak.
He was willing to wait sixty years, filled with resentment and hatred, even if he saw the other's children, he would still feel uneasy...
This melodramatic drama is truly amazing!
In any case, the brand-new lyrics bring a different listening experience.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
Su Can's actions were undoubtedly a case of overwhelming force!
The song "Ten Years" crushed all its competitors in the competition and dominated the top three of the new song charts for a long time.
Now, I casually wrote new lyrics for "Next Year Today," and it actually sold for six million in performance rights fees!
And there's an even higher share of the profits afterward!
Is making money really that easy?
Why do I feel a bit envious, jealous, and resentful?
"To meet you in this fleeting moment of life."
"They used up all their luck."
"It wasn't until this day that we discovered it."
"I have breathed air."
When the last verse ended and the melody gradually faded, the entire venue remained eerily silent.
Yu Ping felt like he was walking on air. "I knew it! I knew it! How could we mere mortals possibly understand the mind of a genius?"
Assistant Xiao Hu looked up and said.
"Mr. Yu, there is also a message from Su Can here. Let me read it to you."
"If you are dissatisfied with the song in any way, you can return or exchange it unconditionally."
"Mr. Yu, Su Can said that returns and exchanges are possible."
Yu Ping rolled his eyes and said helplessly.
“I haven’t reached the point of Alzheimer’s yet. I can understand what you’re saying, so I don’t need any explanation. Experts say that even at 65, you’re still middle-aged.”
Xiao Hu didn't dare to speak.
Music director Ding Jiaxiang raised an eyebrow.
So, do you want to cancel the song?
Yu Ping snorted: "It's impossible for me to quit singing, I'll never quit singing in my entire life!"
Ding Jiaxiang: "I'm reminding you, it's not certain that the higher-ups will approve it."
Yu Ping, hands on hips, declared: "Even if I have to risk my career, I will make sure this song is released! This song suits Ding Lei's voice, and with Su Can's fame, it's bound to be a hit!"
Of course, Yu Ping's bold words still required considerable persuasion to convince the higher-ups.
Two hours later.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
Yu Ping made a phone call to Su Can.
Even though he knew Su Can couldn't see him, Yu Ping couldn't help but smile broadly, his face full of loving concern like an older brother.
"Can Can, have you eaten? Are you tired?"
Su Can: "A little, I slept all afternoon, and my back hurts a bit..."
Yu Ping: "..."
What does it mean to bring shame upon oneself?
Trying to talk to a genius is just asking for humiliation!
A group of people work themselves to the bone every day but can't produce a hit song, while Su Can's casually written song is destined to be a huge hit...
Yu Ping: "Can Can, I'd like to ask you, when do you think would be a good time for Shi Lei to release a song?"
Su Can thought for a moment, "Today."
Yu Ping exclaimed, "Why?"
Su Can: "They had a major car crash yesterday, with heavy casualties, so they definitely won't dare release a song today..."
"Cough..." Yu Ping felt embarrassed when he realized he was also one of those silly guys.
Su Can continued, "Moreover, the song I'm releasing today is rather unconventional, and I don't plan to promote it. Have Shi Lei record the song now, and you don't need to do any promotion. Just release it tonight, and I'll help you generate some buzz."
Yu Ping was overjoyed, but he had a worry.
“Can Can, this is good, but it’s already 4 pm, and Shi Lei hasn’t learned the new song yet. Plus, recording will take a long time. I’m worried the effect won’t be good…”
