Chapter 65: Three Songs, Two Hundred Thousand in Hand
Facts have proven that good songs are good songs.
They can withstand the test of ti.
As soon as 'Absolute Obsession' was released, it imdiately exploded in popularity.
Within just a single day, it had reached the number one spot on the new song chart.
By the ti Wang Xu called Chen Fan, it had already climbed into the top twenty positions on the hot song chart.
And it was still rapidly rising in speed.
There were several reasons behind its explosive popularity.
Firstly, the singer who purchased this song already had a certain level of fa. Secondly, their managent company was willing to spend a large sum of money for promotion.
Of course, the most important factor was that the work itself was solid enough.
Under the combined influence of these factors, 'Absolute Obsession' beca a hit.
Along with the rise of this song, a na also gained prominence.
Commoner.
So observant netizens quickly noticed sothing peculiar on the music charts.
They found that the two recently popular songs were amazingly written by this so-called "Commoner."
Yet prior to this, this person had never even made an appearance on the internet.
This was quite mysterious.
As a result, there were all sorts of speculations online.
So said "Commoner" was actually a professor from a music academy in the industry, and had to use a pen na due to their profession.
Others claid that this "Commoner" was actually a long-dormant celebrity singer.
Of course, there were even more outrageous rumors, saying that "Commoner" was an underground musician or just a primary school music teacher...
In any case, Commoner's popularity had been hyped up.
While netizens gossiped, those within the industry had already taken action.
Everyone was secretly using their connections to try and find out who exactly this "Commoner" was.
However, no matter how hard they dug, they couldn't uncover any information.
Eventually, they all ended up at Wang Xu's studio.
At this point, Wang Xu and Li Changjun's dreams had essentially co true, as they had suddenly gained a high profile within the industry.
Even so typically arrogant musicians, singers, and managers began to approach them with smiles, trying to establish connections.
Between the lines, they were undoubtedly trying to inquire about the true identity of "Commoner."
So even secretly hinted to Wang Xu and Li Changjun that if they could exclusively provide "Commoner's" information, they would receive certain benefits, or even opportunities to perform as guest singers at their artists' concerts.
Putting the money aside, being a guest perforr at a concert was truly tempting.
After all, as ordinary participants in the music world, who didn't dream of one day performing on a bigger stage?
With their dreams seemingly within reach, Wang Xu and Li Changjun discussed it but ultimately declined the offers.
They weren't fools, they understood the situation clearly.
If they revealed Chen Fan's identity, it would an the end of their relationship and any future association with him.
At the very least, if Chen Fan ever wrote new songs, he would never contact them again.
So after weighing the pros and cons, the two decisively chose to cling tightly to Chen Fan's thick leg.
They were convinced that by sticking with Chen Fan, the glory and wealth of their lifeti might just co from this young man.
After rejecting all the invitations, Wang Xu took out a prepared speech from his pocket, following the plan he had discussed with Chen Fan earlier.
"What we can tell everyone is that 'Commoner' is still a university student.
He just wants to quietly finish his studies and doesn't want to be disturbed.
So we kindly request that everyone give him so personal space."
"There's one more thing to tell everyone. 'Commoner' actually wrote three songs in total. You've all seen the performance of the first one."
"Now we have the remaining two songs. If anyone is interested, you can contact . First co, first served."
Over the next few days, Chen Fan's three prepared songs saw the following results: 'Absolute Obsession' sold for 30,000.
The second song, 'Can't Help Falling In Love With You,' due to the influence of 'Absolute Obsession's' fa, sold for double the price at 60,000.
By the ti the third song ca around, there were several buyers interested, but after listening to the demo, they all beca hesitant.
This was because the lody was simpler and quite different from most of the popular songs of the current era.
More importantly, it wasn't a love song.
The price of tens of thousands was not cheap.
For this reason, no one actually stepped up to purchase this song for a while.
Wang Xu contacted Chen Fan to explain: "It's understandable that they have reservations."
"According to them, if they could be assured that this song would explode in popularity like the previous two, they would gladly pay tens of thousands."
"But if they spend tens of thousands to buy it, and it ends up failing to make even a small splash after release..."
"Then those tens of thousands would have been wasted in vain."
Chen Fan thought about it and directly suggested to Wang Xu: "Tell the buyers..."
"They can pay a deposit of 10,000 first. If after release, this song fails to reach the sa level of popularity or chart position as the previous two, then I'll sell it to them for just 10,000."
"But if this song also explodes, then they'll need to pay at least an additional 90,000."
"That's a good solution."
Wang Xu relayed the ssage to Li Changjun, who then used it to promote the song.
This ti, after hearing Chen Fan's proposal, the buyer almost imdiately agreed without much thought.
In order to ride this wave of popularity, the managent company that purchased 'Running' worked overti on recording and promotional activities for the song's release.
Chen Fan was unaware of all these details.
After handing the songs over to Wang Xu and his partner, he beca busy with other matters.
After a few days of consideration, the representatives from Wanwang finally dispatched soone to Yunhai.
The two parties had arranged a ti and place to et over the phone, and they were finally going to et in person for the first ti.
Chen Fan had arranged to et the representative at a breakfast shop near the university district.
He arrived a few minutes early, just as he had ordered his breakfast, a black Audi A6 slowly pulled up in front of the entrance.
A middle-aged, portly man in a suit stepped out of the car.
He appeared to be in his forties, with a slightly balding head. After getting out of the car, he looked around in confusion.
"Over here."
Seeing the man looking disoriented outside the entrance, Chen Fan couldn't help but wave his hand.
The middle-aged, plump man froze for a mont, then walked inside.
"Excuse , are you..."
"Mr. Ma, right? I'm the creator of Yuming."
Ma Mingde froze again.
"So it really is you."
"This is too..."
Chen Fan smiled. "Not what you expected, huh?"
Ma Mingde shook his head with a wry smile.
"To be honest, it doesn't match my impression at all."
"Before coming, I thought I would be eting a computer engineer IT guy around thirty years old."
"I never expected that the creator of Yuming would be so... young."
Chen Fan smiled: "Since we've t, my na is Chen Fan. You can just call Xiao Chen."
"Have a seat. You haven't had breakfast yet, right? Let's eat together."
Ma Mingde looked around awkwardly before dragging a chair over to sit across from Chen Fan.
"To be honest, this is the first ti I've ever had soone choose a breakfast shop for business talks..."
