Chapter 194: Songs

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Xi’s eyes flickered as she asked casually, “Are you planning to look for another management company?”

Chen Che shook his head. “1 have no plans for now.”

Lin Xi was curious. “Then let’s go to Brother Chao’s place?”

Chen Che sighed softly. “I’m afraid not. His studio is mainly responsible for himself. 1 don’t want to cause him trouble.”

Chen Che suddenly thought of something and looked at Lin Xi. “I have a question for you.”

Lin Xi responded.

Chen Che deliberated and said, “I have… two songs.”

“You have two songs?” Lin Xi asked in surprise. “Not one, but two?”

Chen Che nodded. “It was delivered along with your express delivery yesterday. The copyright has been transferred to my name, and there’s a demo on a USB drive. But I want to know how to complete the recording, film the MV, and release the single?”

As she spoke, she looked for her phone. “I have it with me. Listen to it.”

“Sure.” Lin Xi gestured. “Let me admire it.”

“Green Factory’s phones are really cool.”

Chen Che took out his phone and looked for the audio as he praised.

“Green Factory,” Lin Xi said with a smile.

Chen Che found the audio and started playing.

The strong rhythm of the prelude was impressive.

Lin Xi was surprised. “It sounds good. It feels like I’m on a beach.”

Chen Che was helpless. “This song is not a slow song. It’s mainly in the hip-hop style.”

Lin Xi listened attentively. At this moment, the recording inside had already been played.

Lin Xi was in a daze as she listened. She subconsciously nodded along to the beat.

“How is it?” Chen Che stopped playing and asked Lin Xi.

Lin Xi nodded. “Although it’s easy, the rhythm is strong. It’s easy to get hooked on to it, and one can’t help but be immersed in the beat.”

Lin Xi waved her hand, indicating for Chen Che to continue playing. “Continue.”

Chen Che smiled. “Thank you for your encouragement.”

He continued, “Who knew that 1 would also have my own song?”

Lin Xi listened to another song and suddenly said to Chen Che, “You sang well. Your variety sense, film acting skills, and music production have quite the potential.”

Chen Che hummed along with the music. Lin Xi looked at him. “Is it really not suitable to go to Brother Chao’s studio?”

Chen Che looked at her in confusion. “Didn’t I say I wasn’t going?”

Lin Xi was unmoved and continued, “You still have to consider finding a new company. Although you’ve joined the production team, you can’t just focus on variety shows. There’s also drama and singing.”

After a pause, Lin Xi suggested, “So, it’s best to choose a diversified company to promote your development.”

Chen Che nodded. “I’ll consider it after being a little famous. Otherwise, 1’11 be scolded by the manager.”

Lin Xi smiled and glanced at him. “To be honest, you deserve it.”

Chen Che provoked, “You want to say that I’m cheap, right?”

Lin Xi didn’t respond. She only frowned and said, “This song isn’t as good as the previous one.”

Chen Che changed back to his previous song and said, “I’m thinking about my future development. Do 1 have to sign a contract with a company? It’s a little risky to open a studio, but after ‘Let’s Go’ is broadcast, I’ll consider opening one myself. This way, 1 won’t have to worry about wasting time arguing with the company.”

Lin Xi was silent for a moment. “It might not be for two years.”

Chen Che was stunned. He looked at Lin Xi and held back his laughter. “You mean I’ll be crushed to death by the competition?”

“Hehe.” Lin Xi laughed.

Chen Che turned off the music on his phone and asked curiously, “Then how do 1 release a song?”

He looked at Lin Xi. “I mean without the help of a management company.”

Lin Xi smiled. “You’ve been in the industry for so long, but you actually don’t know?”

Chen Che shook his head. “I have only acted in the past.”

Lin Xi pouted. “Stop pretending.”

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xi said, “Find a professional music company to be in charge of the overall packaging, recording, and distribution.”

“Oh?” Chen Che knocked his head. “What about the MV’s filming team?”

Lin Xi thought for a moment. “They can arrange it too. There’s no problem.”

Chen Che asked again, “Then will it be a digital version or a CD when it’s made into a single?”

Lin Xi was a little helpless. “Anything is fine. It’s easy.”

Then, she looked at him in confusion. “Shouldn’t you know about these things? But 1 can still help you find someone to introduce you to. We’ll ask when the time comes.”

“One last question.” Chen Che took a deep breath.

Lin Xi waited in confusion. Chen Che suddenly turned to face the window, his voice a little low.

“Can these things be done without money?”

Lin Xi looked at him with her mouth wide open, but he had already laughed out loud earlier.

Lin Xi couldn’t help but look at him a few times. She also knew why he was smiling.

“You want to dine and dash?” Lin Xi said mockingly. “Can it be free just because of your looks? Do you rely on your looks like Luo Heng?”

Chen Che smiled. After a while, he looked up and leaned against the car door. His face was red from a rare smile and he looked a little shy.

Lin Xi bit her lip and looked at him. She felt that after interacting with him for a long time and becoming “friends”, she seemed to be able to see his true side… or rather, half of him.

He was still hiding a lot of things.

However, she found him interesting and friendly.

“Perhaps…” Lin Xi was silent for a moment before looking at him with a smile. “You want to borrow money from me in disguise?”

“No,” Chen Che suddenly said seriously.

Lin Xi was shocked. “Why are you so serious?”

Chen Che shook his head and said, “It’s fine. Just pretend I didn’t say anything. It doesn’t matter if you don’t record it now. Anyway, the song is already mine.”

Lin Xi glanced at Chen Che and did not say anything else.

The car continued to drive forward.

The scenery was picturesque and the sun was bright.

“By the way, how’s the wound on your back?”

Chen Che thought for a moment and said blankly, “It should be… fine, right?”

Lin Xi couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re not even sure yourself?”

Chen Che said, “I’m not a doctor. However, the first few days 1 came to Dali were quite painful. I’m fine now.”

Lin Xi suddenly asked, “Who treated your wound?”

Chen Che replied, “When I got injured in the ‘Sword Tiger’ production team, there were people to help.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked forward with Lin Xi following behind him.

“Is this the location?”

When they walked into the market, Chen Che looked back at Lin Xi in confusion.

“You’re asking me?” Lin Xi said in surprise. “I’m just a driver.”

Chen Che glared at her. “Then why did you stop when 1 didn’t ask you to?”

“Ah, right…” Lin Xi was enlightened. “There’s no place to park in front.”

Lin Xi glared at him and then looked around. “Then let’s walk around. This place is quite interesting… Oh?”

She came to a stall and curiously picked up something.

“Is this… gourd silk?” Lin Xi asked.

“Yes, gourd silk.” Chen Che walked forward.

Picking it up, Chen Che subconsciously put it to his mouth, but Lin Xi stopped him with a smile.

“You want to brag before you buy it?” Chen Che was stunned. The stall owner also laughed.

“Hehe.” Chen Che also smiled. “I suddenly want to try playing a song.”

“Do you know how to brag?” Lin Xi glanced at him.

Chen Che asked the stall owner for the price. It was not expensive, just a little over $20.

To be honest, this was a tourist area. The price was about the same online.

“You want to buy it?” Lin Xi was surprised.

“I’ll spend more.” Chen Che nodded.

“The standards are a little low,” Lin Xi complained.

“I want this,” Chen Che said.

Lin Xi shook her head. “I’ve never thought about it…”

“Do you know how to play the guitar?” Lin Xi asked..
