At this moment.
World Trade Center.
Inside a top-tier music production studio, "Ten Years" was playing.
As the founder of the studio, Lin Hongfei was like a supreme demon king in the circle of singers.
He was the top music producer in the industry!
Countless people wanted to collaborate with him but could not get the chance.
Any song he was involved in was guaranteed to be a hit!
He was the epitome of song quality!
Throughout the entire song, if he found any part poorly sung, it had to be re-recorded.
This drove the collaborating singers to despair.
Even superstar heavenly kings had to follow his rules when they came.
Otherwise, the only outcome was being blacklisted!
Therefore, even the outdoor live streaming equipment of a ten-million-follower internet celebrity was considered nothing more than trash in his ears.
Yet right now, Lin Hongfei was willing to endure garbage sound quality for "Ten Years."
Such a singing voice paired with such equipment was simply a terrible waste!
He wished he could drag Zhou Chen over right this instant to re-record it using his top-tier equipment!
As the saying goes, laymen watch the spectacle while insiders watch the technique.
The fact that Zhou Chen could perform so well on such garbage equipment was proof enough of his ability!
Such talent.
He, Lin Hongfei, absolutely could not miss out on him!
For the first time, Lin Hongfei had a strong urge to collaborate with a singer.
He was raring to produce this song "Ten Years" by Zhou Chen.
The only problem was that the two of them were strangers!
After all, given their respective statuses, the two of them were simply not people from the same world.
Lin Hongfei immediately felt distressed.
What if Zhou Chen had already found a studio?
Snatch him!
He had to snatch him away!
He pressed the intercom and instructed his assistant, "Send me Zhou Chen's contact information."
"Zhou Chen? Is it Zhou Chen from Wind and Moon Legend?"
The assistant was extremely puzzled. Why would his boss suddenly have time to ask for the contact info of a second-tier group?
And he was specifically asking for the contact info of that slacking king, Zhou Chen.
As soon as she finished speaking, the assistant's face turned pale.
Lin Hongfei hated nothing more than people questioning his commands.
"That's right."
Based on Lin Hongfei's usual temperament, he would never say a word of nonsense, but today he happened to be in a good mood.
The office assistant actually felt a hint of affability?!
When the intercom disconnected, the office assistant sat in her seat in astonishment.
Who on earth... was this Zhou Chen?
The assistant hurriedly found his contact information and sent it to Lin Hongfei.
Lin Hongfei contacted Zhou Chen immediately.
"I am Lin Hongfei."
Lin Hongfei stated his identity. "Feihong Studio is mine, and I want to invite you to record 'Ten Years'."
Such an exceptional song like "Ten Years"!
If he couldn't produce it himself, what if Zhou Chen handed it over to some undeserving producer...
A terrible waste! A sheer waste of a masterpiece!
So Lin Hongfei had to snap him up!
Feihong Studio.
Zhou Chen knew it was a top-tier music production studio in the industry.
Their collaborators had always been legendary heavenly kings and queens.
They were actually inviting him too?
"If you have time, you can come over and record it today."
Lin Hongfei couldn't wait, terrified that Zhou Chen might have other options.
Zhou Chen: "..."
Was he really this impatient?
The boss was already starting to hustle for business; was the studio about to go bankrupt?
Zhou Chen expressed profound doubt.
After all, recording studios with such excellent equipment usually required booking a slot in advance.
Sometimes, during busy periods, a half-year wait was entirely possible.
Not to mention Feihong Studio.
Even heavenly kings and queens had to queue up according to Lin Hongfei's mood.
To think that now, even though Lin Hongfei was known as the industry's top producer, he had already fallen to the point where his schedule wasn't even fully booked.
Tsk, how truly pitiful.
However, thinking of Feihong Studio's top-tier equipment, wasn't this just someone bringing a pillow right when he felt sleepy?
He badly needed a place like this to record "Ten Years"!
"Well, I suppose I could."
It was just that...
He wanted to go and check out the venue first. What if Lin Hongfei was going bankrupt and decided to sell his equipment?
It wasn't just Lin Hongfei who had musical pursuits; he had them too.
Pity that Lin Hongfei didn't give him any chance to finish what he was about to say.
"Really? Are you really coming to my studio to record a song???" Lin Hongfei instantly stood up in excitement, his chair making a harsh screeching sound that startled everyone in the office into looking over at him.
His voice was practically a roar, and one didn't even need to look to hear his excitement.
The staff couldn't help but speculate who was on the other end of the call.
To actually be able to turn the usually rock-steady Lin Hongfei into this state.
Meanwhile, in the office.
Upon receiving Zhou Chen's affirmative reply, Lin Hongfei couldn't help spinning around in circles on the spot.
He was confident Zhou Chen wouldn't turn him down.
Yet when he heard Zhou Chen actually agree, the wild joy still overwhelmed his mind.
To be able to produce a song like this! He would die without regrets!
"Didn't you invite me?" Zhou Chen felt this producer didn't seem very smart.
He couldn't help but wonder if someone like this could really record his song well.
"Yes, yes, it's me, it's me!"
Looking at Zhou Chen's reply, Lin Hongfei grinned from ear to ear.
Whatever he had his eyes on, he had to get!
"Alright then, I'll head over right away." Since he was idle anyway, he might as well go check out the venue first.
"Deal!"
Lin Hongfei grunted in acknowledgment and sent him the studio's location.
He rubbed his hands together excitedly.
He was finally going to hear "Ten Years" in ten-million-dollar sound quality!!!
Right! He also needed to arrange the schedule!
Lin Hongfei reined in the expression on his face, pushed open the office glass door, and the moment he stepped out in front of the employees, he reverted to his usual stern, deadpan expression.
Yet, he completely failed to notice that his office was transparent; the sight of him excitedly spinning in circles just now had long since been witnessed by the staff!
Was this still that cold-hearted boss whose very words could practically poison you to death?!
"Right now, clear out one of the recording studios immediately. I'll be needing it shortly," Lin Hongfei issued a command.
The staff member in charge of scheduling said with a troubled expression, "But today, King of Singers Liu and Queen Mo are..."
Neither of these two was easy to offend.
Besides, Heavenly King Liu had already been waiting for two months.
"Push them back."
Lin Hongfei commanded without a second thought.
Schedule schmedule!
His studio was obviously his to run!
Even if there was no slot, they had to clear one out!
"Understood."
His skill was renowned in the industry, and so was his temper.
The assistant immediately nodded in compliance.
At that moment, the staff in the office dropped their jaws in shock.
Who on earth was coming?!
To actually make Lin Hongfei turn down two Kings and Queens of Singers?
Seeing this scene, the chief assistant, who was the only one in the know, smiled slightly, keeping his achievements deeply hidden.
Who would have thought!
A second-tier artist had defeated the long-established Heavenly Kings and Queens!
The assistant had a premonition that in the future at Feihong Studio... Zhou Chen would probably be able to come and go as freely as if it were his own home!
