7: Chapter 7 Is this the level of a lyricist in the music industry?

"Uh, let me search for it and take a listen."

To figure out exactly who this Heavenly King Zhou was.

Jiang Feng opened the music app on his phone.

He listened to a few of Heavenly King Zhou's most popular songs.

As it turned out, they seemed quite mediocre.

Compared to the Heavenly King Zhou from his past life, they were far inferior.

It seems the entertainment level of this world is quite average?

"Qingwan, when did you get married?"

"I didn't even receive any news about it."

"You certainly move fast."

Wen Youren brewed some premium black tea and placed it in front of Jiang Feng and Li Qingwan.

He said with a kind expression.

"Teacher Wen, this only happened a while ago."

"My husband and I had a whirlwind marriage. We haven't held the wedding ceremony yet, so I didn't want to bother you."

Li Qingwan said with a chuckle.

"Well then, it seems he must be a very outstanding young man."

"I just wonder what his background is."

Wen Youren's gaze fell upon Jiang Feng, sizing him up.

He revealed a meaningful smile.

Clearly, he had thought of something.

"Uh, I've always believed in fate."

"I don't care about family background or social status."

Li Qingwan said, feeling a bit awkward.

Clearly, Jiang Feng's background was something she found hard to mention.

"Oh, you young people have your own ideas."

"I spoke out of turn."

Wen Youren smiled faintly immediately.

Although Li Qingwan didn't answer, he already had the answer in his heart.

Clearly, it was just as he had thought.

This young man wasn't anyone of importance.

He was likely just someone Li Qingwan had brought out to act as a shield.

As one of the veterans of the entertainment industry.

He certainly knew about the situation between Li Qingwan and that young master surnamed Wang.

Thinking of this, his gaze toward Jiang Feng held a trace of pity and sorrow.

"Tell me, why did you come to see me this time?"

Wen Youren stopped paying attention to Jiang Feng and turned his gaze to Li Qingwan.

He certainly knew that for a star of Li Qingwan's level to visit in person and even bring gifts, it naturally meant she was asking for something.

"Teacher Wen, you know."

"In the years since I debuted, I've sung many songs and won many awards."

"But there are very few songs that have truly achieved high popularity."

"As for that legendary Golden Melody Award, I've been nominated a few times, but I've never won it."

Li Qingwan sighed slightly as she spoke.

Although her status in the music scene was very high, it wasn't enough to tower above everyone else.

There were several other female singers at her level.

And among the new generation of female singers, the competition was fierce.

But fortunately, none of these female singers had ever won a Golden Melody Award.

If she could win a Golden Melody Award at this time, then she would truly be able to tower above the other female singers.

At the very least, among female singers in the mainland, she would be unrivaled.

"Uh, the Golden Melody Award also depends on fate."

"Not every one of the kings and queens of pop that I've promoted has been able to win a Golden Melody Award."

Wen Youren smiled.

Although it was meant to comfort Li Qingwan, his words were full of pride.

After all, many of the singers he had promoted had indeed achieved very high honors.

"But many of them did win quite a few, didn't they?"

"And many of their hit songs had lyrics written by you, Teacher Wen."

Li Qingwan said.

"That is true, but I am old now."

"I'm not like I was in my younger years."

Wen Youren laughed.

"Teacher Wen is not old at all."

"Besides, Teacher Wen, your current lyrics have even more charm than those from your younger days."

Li Qingwan flattered him.

"Although I know you are flattering me, I'm still quite happy."

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Wen Youren said with a smile.

"I want you to write a song for me, Teacher Wen."

"A song that can win a Golden Melody Award."

Li Qingwan's eyes were full of ambition.

She had almost completely broken ties with her company now.

Therefore, she needed an original hit song of her own.

She needed a song to stabilize her position during the transition period after leaving the company.

"You young lady, your ambition is quite large."

"Asking for a Golden Melody Award-winning song right off the bat."

"Is that Golden Melody Award so easy to win?"

Wen Youren heard this and shook his head helplessly with a smile.

"I believe in you, Teacher Wen."

Li Qingwan took a deep breath and said.

"Fine, I really can't do anything with you."

"Come, I just wrote a few songs recently."

"Take a look yourself and see if there are any that you like."

Wen Youren said, leading the two of them toward another room.

This was a study.

The room was piled with various books and paintings.

There was also a piano.

And a large desk, with many messy papers scattered on it.

Each piece of paper was filled with dense handwriting.

But many papers had already been crumpled into balls and thrown on the floor.

Presumably, these were the ones Wen Youren was not satisfied with.

"Sorry, although it's possible to write lyrics on a computer now."

"I still prefer the feeling of writing on paper."

"So, my study is a bit messy."

Wen Youren said, feeling slightly awkward.

"It's okay, Teacher Wen."

Li Qingwan shook her head, clearly not caring much about these details.

"The ones on this desk are all songs I've written recently that I think are decent."

"You can choose for yourselves."

"But one thing, no photos allowed."

Wen Youren said to Li Qingwan and Jiang Feng.

"Okay."

Li Qingwan said with a slightly excited expression.

Subsequently, she brought Jiang Feng to Wen Youren's desk.

On the desk, five sheets of paper were neatly placed.

Each sheet was filled with dense lyrics.

Seeing these lyrics, Li Qingwan immediately treated them like a treasure and began to read.

Jiang Feng, of course, also began to look from the side.

Although it was none of his business, he also wanted to see.

This so-called Teacher Wen, the guy known as Wen Youren of the music scene.

Was he really that amazing?

The first sheet had a song titled "The Thirtieth Sunset".

It seemed to be a folk song.

It roughly told a story of waiting and missing out.

One line of lyrics in it caught Jiang Feng's eye.

"The calendar is folded into a paper boat, drifting in the sunset glow."

"Carrying greetings that were never spoken."

Li Qingwan was already singing it softly on the side.

However, Jiang Feng felt that only this line of lyrics was okay.

The rest of the lyrics gave Jiang Feng a feeling of being run-of-the-mill.

They were very much like those viral internet songs Jiang Feng had heard in his past life.

"Is this the level of Wen Youren of the music scene?"

"Are you sure this wasn't written by some viral internet singer?"

Jiang Feng began to feel some doubt in his heart.

But he only complained in his heart.

He certainly wouldn't say it out loud.

Perhaps this was just Wen Youren having an off day.
