159: Chapter 159 was slightly shocked by Shen Qingxue.

...

After lunch, the two of them sat on the sofa and began to seriously discuss this matter.

Shen Qingxue analyzed the pros and cons of several major domestic music platforms.

Tianlai Music has a large user base, but its copyright library is relatively weak, and it urgently needs high-quality content to fill it.

Penguin Music has the strongest copyright library and is the most generous with money, but its drawbacks are ultra-strong competition and low user interactivity.

More importantly, Penguin Music holds the exclusive copyrights of a large number of singers under Starlight Entertainment, suspected of having some kind of cooperation.

This point alone was enough for Lu Li and the others to consider for a long time.

As for the final Cloud Music, it has a good community atmosphere and high user stickiness, but the platform size is relatively small, and the resources it can provide are limited.

"So, Tianlai Music is currently the most suitable cooperation partner?"

Lu Li leaned against the sofa with his hands resting behind his head.

Shen Qingxue nodded.

"But we can't rush to agree either. Let's leave them hanging for a few days and see if other platforms will also come knocking."

"What if they come knocking?"

"Then let them compete."

Lu Li couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"High, truly high. It would be great if I had a brain like yours."

Shen Qingxue ignored his flattery, revealed a faint smile, and continued.

"Tianlai Music taking the initiative to come knocking shows that they can no longer sit still, but the more proactive they are, the less we can rush."

"And..."

She paused, her gaze falling on Lu Li's face.

"Think about it, why this particular time? We just came back from Hangzhou, the competition's popularity is at its peak, and 'hair like snow' is still hanging on the hot search."

"Coming to talk to us about exclusive authorization at this time, the timing is picked way too accurately."

Lu Li was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

"Damn, you mean... they have been waiting for this opportunity?"

"Mm."

Shen Qingxue put down her water glass, leaned against the sofa, and her expression turned serious.

"Tianlai Music has always wanted to impact the industry's number one position, but their copyright library is their shortcoming, especially in the area of original music."

"And what do we hold in our hands right now? 'coral sea', 'summer wind', 'love song', 'hair like snow'... every single one is a hit, and that's not even counting the ones you sang."

"If we give the exclusive authorization to Tianlai, for them, it's no less than signing a top-tier singer... No, two."

After hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help but gasp.

Previously, he only thought it was a good thing that Tianlai Music came knocking, but he didn't think there was this layer of logic behind it.

Sure enough, his brain still thought too simply.

"So that's why you said to leave them hanging for a few days?"

"Mm."

Shen Qingxue nodded.

"Leave them hanging for a few days, see how other platforms react. Penguin Music and Cloud Music can't possibly sit idly by, especially Penguin."

"Starlight Entertainment has a deep cooperation with Penguin Music, supplying them with a large number of original songs, and our relationship with Starlight... you know."

The corners of Lu Li's mouth twitched slightly.

He knew, he knew all too well.

Starlight Entertainment was trying all sorts of ways to screw them over; if Penguin Music got involved at this time, things would become even more interesting.

"Alright, then I'll listen to you and let them hang first. Anyway, neither of us is in a rush, at worst Qishui can be our safety net~"

Lu Li stood up from the sofa and stretched.

"Then I'll go write the song now, strike while the iron is hot. Don't wait until the competition topics are all out and the song is still nowhere to be seen."

Shen Qingxue glanced at him, the corners of her mouth curving slightly.

"Go ahead."

Lu Li turned around and walked into the bedroom, closed the door, and sat in front of the desk.

He pulled out a blank manuscript paper, picked up a pencil, but didn't start writing immediately. Instead, he leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed.

The song 'come on' was one of JJ Lin's representative works in the world before he transmigrated.

The melody is warm, the lyrics are straightforward yet healing, neither sensational nor pretentious, yet capable of touching the softest parts of people's hearts inadvertently.

Placed under the theme of inspirational, it couldn't be more appropriate.

Lu Li opened his eyes and began to write.

He wrote very quickly, with almost no pause.

In less than half an hour, the lyrics and melody of the entire song were completely done.

Lu Li picked up the manuscript paper, read through it from beginning to end, and nodded slightly.

Too nice.

Then he took out the microphone and sound card, adjusted the parameters, hugged his guitar, and started recording the demo.

Passed in one take.

Because the melody of this song was simply too comfortable, no matter how it was sung, it wouldn't sound bad.

Lu Li exported the recorded demo, sent it to Shen Qingxue's WeChat, and then leaned back in his chair, letting out a long breath.

Done.

Not long after, his phone vibrated.

Shen Qingxue replied with a message.

"Listened to it."

Lu Li typed a reply.

"How is it? Give an evaluation?"

The other side was silent for a few seconds, and then a line of text popped up faintly.

"Very good, so good that I even suspect there is something like a system in your brain."

Lu Li stared at this line of text for two seconds, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly.

Ouch~ You shouldn't praise like that. He just has a tiny bit better memory, that's all~

However, of course he couldn't say it was brought by transmigration, so he could only be vague.

"Ahem, when inspiration comes, you can't stop it. How is it, can it be used?"

"It can be used, and it's very suitable."

Shen Qingxue's reply was very fast.

"The melody of this song is very warm, the lyrics are also very healing, and it has a very high degree of fit with the theme of the competition."

"However..."

Looking at that "however", Lu Li's heart skipped a beat.

Huh? However what, is there a problem with this?

"However what?"

"However, I think if we can add a layer of harmony to the chorus part of this song, the effect will be even better."

Lu Li was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, and was truly slightly shocked by Shen Qingxue's strength once.

Her ears are seriously awesome.

Because the original version of 'come on' had harmony in the chorus part, the layering was quite rich.

It's just that he wanted to save trouble when recording the demo just now, so he only recorded the main melody and didn't do the harmony.

But she only listened to it once and was very clear about where harmony needed to be added. One has to say, Shen Qingxue truly has real skills.

"Alright, then I'll adjust it later."

"Mm."

Lu Li put down his phone, picked up the manuscript paper again, and began to work overtime to adjust the arrangement.
