Upon hearing Li Chenchan's question, Xiao Zhi paused for a moment, organizing his words before saying, "Although your two songs are very popular, the time is too tight. It's still a bit of a problem to participate in 'The Voice of China.'"
Li Chenchan frowned. Did he have to try to become famous through other means?
However, 'The Voice of China' was such a perfect stage, and he had hundreds of classic songs in his head. Not showcasing them would be a waste. Releasing one song at a time and trying to climb the charts was a bit unrealistic. It would be better to directly participate in 'The Voice of China' and shock everyone with his original music.
Li Chenchan asked, "Teacher Xiao, do you have any other ideas?"
Xiao Zhi paused for a moment. He needed to organize his words to persuade Li Chenchan to hand over the rights to release his future new songs to their company, Star Creation. This was also the purpose of this phone call tonight.
After a while, Xiao Zhi said, "Chenchan, our plan is to start releasing your song 'Friend.' If this song performs well, plus our recommendations and some public relations, you have a good chance of standing on the stage of 'The Voice of China.'"
Li Chenchan immediately understood Xiao Zhi's meaning. He needed some commitment! Li Chenchan was a straightforward person. Since the other party had a request, he directly asked, "Teacher Xiao, just say it. Is there something you need me to do?"
Xiao Zhi couldn't help but sigh inwardly—this kid really didn't act like an 18-year-old. He often gave people the feeling of being insightful.
"Alright, I'll be direct," Xiao Zhi said. "We hope to get the rights to release your future new songs..."
Li Chenchan pondered for a moment and then said, "I can only guarantee the priority. Otherwise, if Star Creation gives me poor conditions for my new songs, I need a reason to refuse."
"Of course!" Hearing Li Chenchan's reasonable response, a smile appeared on Xiao Zhi's face. "We won't be that unreasonable! Alright, Chenchan, after 'Friend' is released, just wait for my good news. Shall we discuss the specific terms tomorrow?"
Li Chenchan nodded, "Sure, thank you for your trouble."
"No trouble at all!"
After hanging up the phone, Luo Mo sat at his desk, looking at the completed manuscript of 'Those Things in the Ming Dynasty.' For a moment, his emotions were in turmoil.
His fame in this world was becoming increasingly solid.
Now, 'Those Things in the Ming Dynasty' had sold 100,000 copies, and the two songs 'Deskmate' and 'The Brother Who Sleeps Above Me' had been downloaded over 100,000 times!
Everything was moving in a beautiful direction.
Pulling back the curtains, the outside of Rongcheng was lit up with dazzling lights, a scene of prosperity and celebration.
Li Chenchan could almost see his future in this world rising with these brilliant lights, reaching the zenith.
"Chenchan, are you asleep?" At this moment, Li Chenchan heard a knock on the door. Opening it, he saw Li Chaoyong and asked, "Dad, what's up?"
Li Chaoyong frowned slightly and then said, "Your uncle and aunt are coming to our house tomorrow..."
Li Chenchan could clearly feel that Li Chaoyong was troubled by this.
He also knew the reason for this.
Li Chenchan's uncle, Li Chaoguo, was the director of the Rongcheng Construction Bureau.
A while ago, Li Chaoyong boasted that they were related to the royal family. Upon reflection, there indeed was an official like Li Chaoguo, and the Li family had been quite wealthy in the past. Power and wealth seemed to have been passed down from their royal connections.
However, after Li Chaoyong's business failure and accumulating a lot of debt, some of Li Chaoguo's enemies had a hand in it, trying to use Li Chaoyong to bring down Li Chaoguo. To eliminate the impact, Li Chaoguo had to spend a lot of money and other resources to barely resolve the issue.
After that incident, Li Chaoguo was still okay, being a close brother. But Li Chaoguo's wife, Wang Fen, always felt that the Li family owed them something and never had a good attitude. When she saw Li Chaoyong and Yang Yifang, she liked to make things difficult.
Before this, Li Chenchan had almost become a learning fool overnight, unable to study anything, while Wang Fen's son, Li Chenxin, had been admitted to the prestigious Fuhua University, both domestically and internationally, and was very talented. So, Wang Fen liked to come here to show off and criticize Li Chaoyong.
Because of this, Li Chaoyong and his family were very troubled by Wang Fen's visit.
Li Chenchan nodded. While Li Chaoyong and his family might be troubled by Wang Fen, Li Chenchan wouldn't be... He felt that what he had accomplished so far should be enough to make his family hold their heads high in front of Wang Fen.
So, Li Chenchan said to Li Chaoyong, "I understand, Dad."
"Alright." Li Chaoyong nodded. "If your aunt says something unpleasant tomorrow, don't take it to heart. She's just that kind of person. Also, the college entrance exam results will be out tomorrow afternoon. They are coming at this time, so be prepared."
Li Chenchan smiled, "I know, don't worry. Get some rest."
"Okay." Seeing his son's smile, Li Chaoyong felt a wave of comfort. Suddenly, he felt that having such a son was indeed nothing to be afraid of.
The next day, Li Chaoguo and Wang Fen arrived on time.
Li Chaoguo and Li Chaoyong looked somewhat alike, with a well-proportioned build. Although he was middle-aged, he still looked handsome, with a commanding presence. Wang Fen was dressed fashionably, wearing high heels and sunglasses. After Li Chaoyong opened the door, she walked in as if she were at home, stepping briskly inside and saying, "The house is a bit messy, you should pay attention to that."
Yang Yifang's face was not very pleasant. Honestly, she was also afraid of these two people. Now, hearing Wang Fen's condescending tone, she could only nod silently.
Li Chaoguo glared at Wang Fen but couldn't say anything about his wife in front of Li Chenchan. He sat on the sofa and smiled at Li Chenchan, "Chenchan, how are you feeling lately? Are you better?"
"Thank you, Uncle. I'm much better," Li Chenchan replied politely.
This made Li Chaoguo and Wang Fen exchange glances, a bit surprised—Li Chenchan's current demeanor was completely different from his previous dazed state.
Li Chaoguo then said, "That's good. The college entrance exam is over, and you need to plan your future. Now that you're better, I can speak up and arrange something for you."
Just as Li Chaoguo finished speaking, Wang Fen nudged him. She didn't want to help Li Chenchan plan his future at all!
Li Chenchan looked at Wang Fen's actions, feeling both angry and amused. I don't need your help at all!
