Chapter 37 Congestion The next day, two topics were not surprisingly trending in the entertainment section: #Happy breakup, I'm not sad# #Ten years later, will you still be the same person# Because many people have already listened to the previous promotional video of "Ten Years", the most discussed song online is "I'm Not Sad", a new song by the popular queen Lin sun is shining in the sky: "Song title: I'm not sad, lyrics: Every word is sad." Yimeng Qiancheng: "I would like to call it the Valentine's Day 'Hard-mouthed Song'." Small but real happiness: "The song title is so convincing, but the length of the song gives it away." Boss Kang: "I'm not sad, but in the end there is only silence." Da Mu was delighted: "It's hard to say that Sister Nan didn't do it on purpose." Yes, the total duration of the song "I'm Not Sad" is exactly five minutes and twenty seconds. In fact, it wasn't really Lin Nanxi's intention, but Chen Mo's bad taste. When Chen Mo was helping Lin Nanxi record, he saw that the finished recording was about five minutes and ten seconds long. But Chen Mo suddenly remembered how Jiang Congwen stubbornly said he didn't care when he wrote this song, but ended up crying his eyes out. So Chen Mo suddenly had an idea and deliberately extended the length of the song to five minutes and twenty seconds. So the last ten seconds of "I'm Not Sad" actually have no melody and no sound.
From the contrast between the song title and the lyrics, to the echo between the meaning of the words and the length of the song, Chen Mo thinks this little idea is quite interesting. Lin Nanxi certainly had no objection to the "bad taste" of the creator and producer Chen Mo. She herself also thought it was quite funny. This year's Valentine's Day is jokingly called "Sad Valentine's Day" by netizens, but for the music industry in the entertainment industry, it is simply "Black Valentine's Day." Because this month's music hot song chart is dominated by Fuyun Entertainment. The top ten songs on the list include "King of Karaoke", "Love Transfer", "Ten Years", "Single Love Song", "Happy Breakup", "I'm Not Sad", and "Her Eyelashes". Surprisingly, more than half of the songs are from Fuyun Entertainment. No one expected Fuyun Entertainment to be so unethical. In just over half a month, they released a lot of new songs, leaving no room for others to survive. Compared to netizens who saw the shining new star Jiang Congwen, people in the circle paid more attention to the same creator behind these songs - Chen Mo. Most people in the circle had never heard of the name Chen Mo before, and they were all trying to find out the news. Singers want to be commissioned to sing songs, and entertainment companies are more direct and extend an olive branch. All the companies were secretly gearing up to see if they could poach Chen Mo from Fuyun Entertainment. As long as the hoe is wielded well, there is no wall that cannot be dug down. The reason why it can't be dug out is simply because the price is not high enough. Of course Chen Mo refused. His euphemism to the outside world was: I regard Fuyun Entertainment as my home. I feel very comfortable here and don’t want to move. Several large companies of the same size as Fuyun Entertainment are well-informed and of course know who Chen Mo is, so they have never thought of poaching him. They just hope to have a chance to cooperate in the future. In fact, everyone was just being polite verbally, and everyone knew that the chances of this happening were slim. Fuyun Entertainment has many artists waiting to be recruited, so how could it possibly let these talents flow to outsiders? And don’t be fooled by the fact that everyone seems to be friendly on the surface. When it comes to real business competition, no one will be polite or soft-hearted, and even playing dirty and throwing dirty water is commonplace. The entertainment industry is fighting a war of public opinion. If Chen Mo was just a simple creator, it wouldn't be enough for several big companies to be so polite to him.
But Chen Mo is still the successor of Fuyun Entertainment, and Chen Huaisong only has this one son. After Chen Mo takes over Fuyun Entertainment, he will be able to sit on an equal footing with the head of their company and have equal dialogue with them. Chen Mo is capital, not an employee, so he will be treated with the proper courtesy and politeness that major companies should have, and everyone is a decent person. Every major entertainment company has its own pillars behind the scenes, including directors, screenwriters, and regular collaborators who are renowned lyricists and composers. This time it just caught Fuyun Entertainment off guard. After all, everyone has a rough idea of whether well-known creators in the industry have any new works in the near future. There will also be rumors about which first-line singers are preparing new songs or new albums recently. It's true that Chen Mo doesn't play by the rules at all. There is nothing wrong with writing a good song. Excellent creators will always have a flash of inspiration and create excellent works. It’s okay to write songs quickly. Many songwriters can write catchy songs with the same melodies as others. But it was unexpected that Chen Mo was such a good writer and so productive. What's more, Chen Mo gave so many excellent songs to a newcomer to sing, which was something no one expected. At first, not many people in the circle cared about Jiang Congwen singing "King of Karaoke". From time to time there are always some lucky people who get lucky and come up with a masterpiece that is widely sung, but most of these are short-lived and fail to make any waves. When Jiang Congwen sang a new song every day, people in the circle began to feel that something was wrong. By the time they realized what was happening, Jiang Congwen had already collaborated with Lin Nanxi to release a new song. By this time it was already too late, and the companies could only watch as Fuyun Entertainment's songs continued to top the charts. Everyone knows that Lin Nanxi is preparing for a new album, and they also know that she has not yet found a satisfactory title song. So Lin Nanxi released a new song for no apparent reason, it was very sudden. Everyone is also very curious about the background of this newcomer Jiang Congwen, who could be supported by the queen Lin Nanxi to release a song. But many smaller entertainment companies are not aware of Chen Mo’s situation, and to them, Chen Mo’s explanation is just: not enough money. How can you treat the company as your home? You are lying to your children. Anyone who believes you is a fool! It’s happy to go home, are you happy at work? It doesn't matter where workers earn money, is there anyone who thinks the money is too much? ! In the end, Chen Mo was really annoyed and changed his statement to be more straightforward: Fuyun Entertainment belongs to me. Everyone was shocked, but they finally calmed down. After all, my company is not as big as theirs, so how can I poach people? Are you trying to recruit him to be your boss? It is impossible to poach people like Chen Mo unless you can acquire Fuyun Entertainment. When Chen Mo walked into the company, he saw Lin Nanxi talking to a man who looked very elegant. "Senior brother?" Su Lixing turned around when he heard the voice: "It's Xiao Mo, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"That's because you're busy, senior brother. If you come to the company, you can see me every day." Chen Mo walked up and said with a smile. "I heard that Mr. Chen is always late and leaves early." Lin Nanxi joked from the side. "Hehe, I may be late, but I'm never absent." Chen Mo said shamelessly, and quickly changed the subject. "By the way, Senior Brother, I haven't thanked you for helping me promote my song yet." When "Her Eyelashes" was launched, Lin Nanxi and Su Lixing took the lead in promoting it. Su Lixing also joked, "Our young master still has to have this bit of appearance." Faced with the teasing of these two people, Chen Mo was helpless. Su Lixing should be one of Fang Shuyun's earliest students, a few years older than Lin Nanxi. At that time, Su Lixing formed his own band, which made Chen Mo, who was still in junior high school, think it was very cool. At that time, Chen Mo regarded Su Lixing as his role model. Moreover, Su Lixing himself likes to collect all kinds of novel gadgets. At that time, Chen Mo wanted to play some new and unusual musical instruments, and he would secretly borrow them from Su Lixing. "It was Nanxi who told me that I knew you released a new song." Su Lixing said with a smile. "If you take a quick look at the hot songs charts right now, you'll see that they're all songs you wrote." "No, no, it was all luck. It's mainly thanks to the appeal of senior sister, the queen." Chen Mo waved his hand. "Oh, when did you become so humble?" Lin Nanxi looked at Chen Mo strangely. "Well, the main reason is that a lot of people have wanted to ask me to write songs for them recently. I heard that Senior Brother Zhang has helped me to block quite a few people." Chen Mo shook his head. "Who told you to come up with so many songs at once? The company is saying that you can only write one song a day." Lin Nanxi laughed. "Then everyone will ask you to write songs." "Oh? Are you able to write songs so quickly? If you have a good song, don't forget me, your brother." Su Lixing was a little surprised. He thought that these songs of Chen Mo were saved in the past, but he didn't expect that they were all written recently. "Senior brother, don't listen to their nonsense. It's not that exaggerated." Chen Mo looked helpless. This inspiration comes and goes, and he has no control over it. "But don't worry, senior brother. If there is a suitable song, I will forget you no matter who else I forget." Chen Mo still said. "Okay, then I'll wait." Su Lixing nodded with a smile. "Huh? Why haven't you left today?" Zhang Yundong passed by the recording studio and was surprised to see Chen Mo still there at the time he got off work. Normally, if nothing happened, Chen Mo would have left half an hour earlier. "Oh, it's senior brother." Chen Mo looked up and saw Zhang Yundong.
"You guys always complain that I'm late and leave early, so I decided to leave work on time from now on." Chen Mo said righteously. "What about work?" Zhang Yundong asked curiously. "I'll study the time later when I get to work." "What time? Aren't our company's working hours clearly written?" Zhang Yundong asked puzzledly. “Hotel’s working hours.” "Hotel?" Zhang Yundong was confused. Chen Mo looked at the time and thought it was about time, so he stood up and walked out: "Brother, I have something else to do. I won't talk to you for now. I have to leave quickly." "Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhang Yundong shouted at Chen Mo's hurried back. "It's time to get off work." Chen Mo waved and disappeared around the corner of the corridor. "If you are in a hurry to get off work, why don't you leave early? No one cares about you. It's weird." Zhang Yundong shook his head in confusion. It was the rush hour after get off work and the road was crowded with cars. The bustling crowd was crowded towards the nearby subway station, the vehicles on the road were driving slowly, and the traffic lights were switching briefly and frequently. The noise of the crowd and the honking of cars filled the evening air with a sense of restlessness. In the past, Chen Mo would be late and leave early in order to avoid the rush hour. In this bustling city, some people start working at four or five in the morning, while others get off work and rest at one or two in the morning. Chen Mo couldn't compete with them in getting up earlier or later, so he could only choose to get up later or earlier to avoid commuting congestion when most people were at work. Chen Mo looked at the time on his watch anxiously, tapping the steering wheel with his fingers in a messy and rhythmic manner. The traffic jam today lasted longer than he expected. A journey that usually takes five minutes took less than ten minutes, and he had to wait for a traffic light three times before he could get through. After enduring a long wait, Chen Mo finally saw the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Chen Mo let out a long sigh, not knowing whether he would miss the time. Fortunately, Chen Mo saw a familiar figure before long. She was wearing a long floral skirt, a denim jacket, a pair of brown boots, and her jet-black hair was casually scattered behind her. The person who came out of the hotel was Xu Hongdou. Chen Mo lightly stepped on the accelerator and slowly moved the car over. "Hongdou? What a coincidence, you just got off work." Chen Mo lowered the car window and spoke with some surprise in his tone. "Chen Mo?" Xu Hongdou was also a little surprised to see Chen Mo. "Get in the car, we just happened to meet you." Chen Mo said with a smile. "Then I'll trouble you again." Xu Hongdou didn't think much about it.
After all, they had met twice after get off work before. They were familiar with each other and lived in the same community, so there was no need to refuse. "Are you getting off work at this time today too?" Xu Hongdou asked after getting in the car. "I usually get off work around this time." Chen Mo nodded. "Didn't you say before that your working hours are more flexible?" Xu Hongdou asked curiously. "Yeah, it's my own company. If I have something to do and come in late and leave early, no one will say anything to me." Chen Mo said naturally. "But there's nothing special. I always leave on time. I can't always ask for special treatment, otherwise it will have a bad impact." If Zhang Yundong could hear Chen Mo's shameless words, he would spit in Chen Mo's face. He has never seen Chen Mo come on time in the past three years. "Oh." Xu Hongdou nodded and thought it made sense. After all, the company's rules and regulations are there, and our own people should set a good example and abide by them. "Do you usually get off work at this time?" Chen Mo asked. "It's about the same. It will be a little later during holidays, and sometimes colleagues ask for leave and change shifts. Normally it's about this time too." Xu Hongdou said. "After all, I have been working for a few years. Now I have fewer night shifts. I can be considered a daughter-in-law who has finally become a mother-in-law." Chen Mo was amused by Xu Hongdou's words. "Then I'll ask you when I get off work next time. If the time is about the same, I'll pick you up on the way and you don't have to squeeze into the subway." "Ah, no, no need to go to such trouble." Xu Hongdou waved her hand. "It's not a problem. We won't take anything extra with us on the way." Chen Mo said. "I was going to pass by your hotel on my way back, and we're going back to the same neighborhood." "I have to take a detour and I can't come here just to give you a ride." Chen Mo said with a smile. Xu Hongdou wanted to say something, but Chen Mo added: "Besides, we have already agreed that I will give you a ride only when our times are similar." "If you're late because of something, or I'm early, I won't wait for you for more than five minutes anyway." "Don't blame me when the time comes. Don't be a big grudge against me." Chen Mo deliberately said in a slightly exaggerated tone. "Am I that kind of person?" Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes at Chen Mo. "Haha, I just brought up this matter because I thought you were not that kind of person." Chen Mo explained with a smile. "Anyway, it's just a matter of sending a message after get off work." Xu Hongdou thought for a moment and said, "If sometimes I don't have time to reply to your message, you don't have to wait for me." "Of course. I'll send you a message after get off work, and the deadline is when I drive to the entrance of your hotel." Chen Mo nodded. "I wouldn't turn around even if I drove past." Chen Mo deliberately "emphasized". "Of course." Xu Hongdou nodded seriously and said, "If you're waiting for me on purpose, I don't want it."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything without a name or status." Chen Mo said solemnly. Xu Hongdou couldn't help but give Chen Mo a nice eye roll again. Somehow, Chen Mo suddenly felt that the crowded road that had made him irritated just now had become a lot cuter. Chen Mo even felt that it didn’t matter if the traffic jam lasted a little longer, as safety came first. Please vote for me, recommend me, collect me, and read on!
