9: Chapter 9: A Critical Review of the Lyricist's Work - Jiang Feng, Are You Crazy?
"If apologies were useful, what would we need the police for?"
"You must tell me today, why did you mock my lyrics just now?"
"Do you know, this song consists of lyrics I spent a month writing, without eating well or sleeping well, staying up late!!!"
Wen Youren clearly had no intention of forgiving Jiang Feng.
Instead, he roared at the top of his lungs.
Clearly, this was a paranoid artist who cared deeply about his work.
"Uh, alright, I did indeed mock it just now."
"I admit it, okay."
Facing Wen Youren's aggressive stance, Jiang Feng knew that this matter clearly couldn't be resolved easily.
Therefore, he decided to lay his cards on the table; he wouldn't pretend anymore.
He had mocked it, so what?
He didn't believe Wen Youren could actually kill him right here.
"Jiang Feng, what are you talking about!"
"Teacher Wen is a famous Lyric Saint in the music industry; you are just a musical idiot who doesn't even understand music. What right do you have to mock Teacher Wen!"
As soon as Li Qingwan heard Jiang Feng say that, she became anxious on the spot.
She immediately started raging at Jiang Feng.
Clearly, she was terrified of offending Wen Youren.
"Hehe, good, very good, excellent."
Wen Youren laughed in extreme anger and clapped his hands.
"Speak, which line of lyrics in my song caused you to laugh?"
"If you don't give me a proper explanation today, I will never work with Li Qingwan again in my life!"
Wen Youren said sternly.
He even directed his anger toward Li Qingwan, calling her by her full name.
Although Li Qingwan was a diva in the entertainment industry, in front of Wen Youren, she was actually nothing special.
After all, there were simply too many kings and divas he had helped make famous.
"Jiang Feng, look at the good deed you've done!"
Li Qingwan was instantly anxious.
She looked at Jiang Feng angrily.
However, at this moment, Jiang Feng faced both their anger.
He appeared exceptionally calm.
He had figured it out.
If he didn't point out some flaws of this Lyric Saint today.
If he didn't convince him.
It would be very difficult for him to escape unscathed today.
"Fine."
"Actually, I didn't intend to say anything initially."
"But since you asked me to find faults in this song, I'll speak plainly."
Jiang Feng said in a calm tone.
"Speak plainly, although I am old, I can still handle it."
Wen Youren said.
"Alright, then I'll speak plainly."
"First of all, in terms of the subject matter and concept of the lyrics, this song is very mediocre."
"Using Glaze to metaphorize love is barely passable, but the lyrics you wrote are really too mediocre."
"Not only do you pile up flowery language, but it's also completely devoid of substance, like lyrics written by a fresh college graduate."
Jiang Feng said, hitting the nail on the head.
Although his tongue was a bit venomous this time.
He was actually very restrained, okay?
If he were to really critique it.
He could only rate it as trash.
However, this clearly exceeded Wen Youren's psychological defense line.
He stared blankly at Jiang Feng, his face showing a state of confusion.
He never expected that the song he cherished like a treasure.
Would actually be belittled by Jiang Feng as completely worthless?
What stung even more was that line, saying the lyrics were written like a fresh college graduate.
"Ahem."
Wen Youren coughed twice abruptly.
He almost couldn't catch his breath.
"Jiang Feng, do you know what you are saying?"
"I beg you, stop talking."
Li Qingwan clearly didn't expect that Jiang Feng would be so outrageous.
At this moment, she really wanted to kneel down to Jiang Feng.
How could he say such insane words?
Saying the lyrics of the music industry's Lyric Saint were written like a fresh college graduate?
Is this something a human can say?
If this were heard by netizens online, wouldn't they directly spray Jiang Feng to death?
At this moment, Li Qingwan really regretted marrying Jiang Feng.
This guy was just too uncontrollable.
It felt like he could cause her a huge disaster at any time.
However, just when Li Qingwan thought Wen Youren might be furious.
And even tell them to get out.
Wen Youren unexpectedly calmed down exceptionally.
Although his expression was still not very good.
But at least, he wasn't that enraged anymore.
"Your name is Jiang Feng, right?"
Wen Youren looked at Jiang Feng and asked.
"Yes."
Jiang Feng nodded.
"Good, Jiang Feng, I'll remember you."
"You are the first person to dare to critique my songs so sharply in front of me."
"I have to admit, you have a lot of guts."
"But you must know, in this society, especially in the entertainment industry, relying solely on guts is useless."
"The entertainment industry needs strength, strength that can be taken seriously; just talking big won't get you far."
"You just completely negated my song 'Glaze'."
"Then in your heart, you must have a better answer, right?"
"Now, tell me the better answer in your heart immediately."
"I can pretend that today's events never happened."
Wen Youren took a deep breath and said.
The reason he said this.
Was because, in his heart, he actually had the same confusion.
When he was writing the song "Glaze" at the time, he always felt that "glaze" wasn't a particularly good choice.
But he racked his brains and couldn't think of a better one.
So, in the end, he chose to write this "Glaze".
However, in his heart, there were still some regrets.
So, he wanted to hear Jiang Feng's answer.
"Teacher Wen, please don't make things difficult for Jiang Feng."
"He is just someone who doesn't even understand music; he was probably just talking nonsense earlier."
"How could he have a better answer?"
"I think, Teacher Wen, your song 'Glaze' is already a perfect answer."
Li Qingwan said hurriedly.
Seemingly belittling Jiang Feng, but actually trying to smooth things over for him.
Otherwise, she was truly afraid that Jiang Feng wouldn't be able to step down from this awkward situation.
After all, Jiang Feng's current status was her husband.
If Jiang Feng lost face, it was equivalent to her losing face.
"No, don't speak."
"I want to hear his answer."
Wen Youren shook his head.
He didn't even look at Li Qingwan.
His eyes were fixed only on Jiang Feng.
"bubble."
"It's bubble."
Jiang Feng replied.
This song "Glaze" actually had a similar structure to the song "bubble" from his previous life.
It's just that this "Glaze" was clearly not as fitting as "bubble".
Although both were about love that is easily shattered.
But bubble is clearly more fragile than glaze.
Moreover, it inherently carries a romantic color.
Therefore, Jiang Feng thought of the song "bubble" immediately.
"bubble?"
Wen Youren was stunned.
Clearly, he didn't expect Jiang Feng to give such an answer.
For a moment, his thoughts began to race frantically.
Soon, a look of wild joy appeared in his eyes.
