Chapter 45: Little Fatty Zou Kai

  "Hello, how are you?"

  Suddenly, PP's information jumped, Zhou Fan took a look, it was Sun Li, the editor of Huaxia Original Music Network.

  "In."

  "Your last upload of 'Qing Fei De Yi' and yesterday's 'Lan Lian Hua' were both excellent, we loved them. We think that if you can perform even better when recording, it would be perfect."

  "Sweat, I've also been looking for a recording studio recently."

  Zhou Fan felt a bit depressed. The best solution, of course, was to set up his own recording studio. However, this would cost too much money. Currently, Zhou Fan's highest payment for a manuscript was only around 100,000 yuan from Tianyi Network, and the publishing fees had not arrived yet, far from enough to set up a good recording studio. Moreover, Zhou Fan had never thought of opening a recording studio with this money, planning to save it for his parents instead.

  "Why not, I don't know if you're interested in signing with a record company. If so, we can arrange it for you here. I believe that with the help of a record company, you can focus on singing in the future and let the record company take care of other things."

  Sun Li asked Zhou Fan again.

  Of course, Sun Li had already tempted Zhou Fan the first time, saying that a good singer could sign with a record company. However, this was just temptation, and whether or not he would really be able to sign, who knew? After all, it's not possible for someone to sign with a record company just because of one song. But now it seems that Zhou Fan has great potential, and if they don't sign him now, he'll be snatched away by Honghai, which would be frustrating.

  It's just a pity that Zhou Fan still refused.

  "Sorry, I'm not interested in signing up as a singer for now."

  "Ah, don't you want to sing in the future?"

  Sun Li was somewhat surprised.

  The first rejection, Sun Li didn't think much of it at the time, as the conditions weren't ripe. Perhaps Zhou Fan hadn't considered signing either, but now it's different. When the opportunity is getting hotter and hotter, if one is smart, they will seize it immediately. After all, not everyone can become famous, and not everyone can keep singing forever.

  However, Zhou Fan refused again.

  This couldn't help but make Sun Li doubt whether Zhou Fan really wanted to sing.

  Could it be that he's just here for a free meal, or perhaps singing is merely his hobby? That would be too terrifying.

  "I'd love to, but I don't think I'm ready to appear in front of everyone just yet. At the same time, I'm not too fond of record companies these days."

  This is true. Although Zhou Fan wasn't very familiar with the music circle of this world, from his previous life's music circle, it was already apparent in general. Signing a contract with a record company isn't necessarily that glorious; in fact, record companies are just money-making institutions. They don't necessarily like music; they just think music can make money. Moreover, after signing a contract with a record company, many things will be restricted by the record company. Even if you want to date a girlfriend, you have to report it to the record company first. What's more, in the Korean entertainment circle, there was a female artist who exposed that she had to report to her record company every week about who she had slept with.

  Can't help but say, Zhou Fan is quite disgusted with this kind of music circle.

  Zhou Fan thinks that even if he wants to sing songs, he will choose other methods and does not necessarily need to sign with a record company.

  "This..."

  This sentence really hit Sun's weak spot.

  They are Huaxia Music Original Network, which is a music association and was established to protect the interests of music producers. However, due to the decades-long dominance of major record companies in the Huaxia region, their music association has been gradually isolated. When Zhou Fan said he didn't like the current record companies, Sun Li felt deeply sympathetic. He wanted to persuade him again, but didn't know where to start.

  "Actually, I also dislike the various phenomena in the current music circle. However, you have to know that this is how society is now. We can't change it for the time being, and under circumstances that we can't change, we can only adapt and accept, right?"

  "Haha, maybe so. If it's life, maybe it should be that way. But in the music circle, I can have more choices. For example, I can refuse, I can not enter, right?"

  Actually, Zhou Fan had a good plan. In his plan, he temporarily did not want to sign with the record company. However, for his own artistic life in the future, Zhou Fan would continue to work hard. First of all, Zhou Fan thought that instead of joining a record company, it's better to earn some money first and then open his own record company.

  This idea has been lingering in Zhou Fan's mind since it was born. So, he had no interest in any record company at all.

  "Alright, think carefully, we value your musical talent."

  At this point, Sun Li didn't want to say anything more, he felt that there was no way to persuade Zhou Yifan anymore.

  "Thank you, I'll consider it."

  "By the way, about the blue lotus flower you uploaded yesterday, we want to hold it back for a while and wait for an appropriate time to release it. How does that sound?"

  "This..."

  Zhou Fan didn't understand what Sun Li wanted to do, but after thinking about it, he understood, "Maybe they have other uses for this Blue Lotus song." However, this is his own song, and he has the right to decide. Originally, whether or not to release it now doesn't make a big difference. But Zhou Fan has been a bit poor recently, so he thought maybe he should get some of his investment back. He said, "You guys arrange it, just one thing, I'm a bit tight on cash lately, can you advance the download fee for the ringtone and transfer it to my account?"

  Although "Qing Fei De Yi" has only been released for a few days, thanks to its super popularity, it has occupied the top 10 mobile ringtones download chart in recent days. Unfortunately, due to the complexity of profit channels such as mobile ringtones, it involves singers, record companies, website platforms, and even telecom operators. After all the settlements, it will take half a year to cycle through.

  That is to say, Zhou Fan's song "Non-essential" was only downloaded as a ringtone on mobile phones half a year later.

  But now Zhou Fan really is short of money.

  "Haha, you little kid, okay, I'll apply for it from above, but it's impossible to give you all of it. After all, we haven't received the account from Telecom yet. What you want now, we can only prepay for you first. But I'll try to apply for as much as possible."

  "Thank you so much."

  Zhou Fan smiled slightly. He wasn't afraid of the other party refusing, after all, this guy had asked him first.

  Black bar.

  Today, Zhou Fan didn't attend evening self-study and arrived very early.

  "Yifan, you're here."

  Xiao Pangzi Zou Kai came over with a cup of tea and sat down beside Zhou Fan.

  When Zhou Fan said it's best for a singer not to drink every day, Xiao Pang took it to heart.

  "Uh-huh, I came a bit earlier today. By the way, Xiao Pang, have you ever thought of singing?"

  Zhou Fan took a sip and asked casually.

  "Singing, who doesn't want to?" Little fatty Zou Kai's eyes lit up, then dimmed down, "It's just that I don't know how."

  Xiao Pangzi is actually a pretty crazy music enthusiast, if not, he wouldn't have gone to buy an electric guitar. Unfortunately, his family doesn't support him singing or doing art. To make a living, he came to the Black Bar and reluctantly accompanied people to make ends meet. Actually, when he bought the electric guitar, it was because there was a band that used to perform at the Black Bar. As a substitute for Xiao Pangzi, he still had performance opportunities from time to time. Later, the band ran away, leaving only Xiao Pangzi behind. The boss of the Black Bar, Qiu Ze, saw that Xiao Pangzi was relatively honest and could play a bit of guitar, so he kept him on.

  "It doesn't matter, you can learn anyway, I think your singing is pretty good. Why don't you sing a song from Heaven for me to listen?"

  Zhou Fan had heard Xiaopang sing before, but at that time he didn't have any thoughts about it. Now, however, Zhou Fan intentionally wanted to cultivate Xiaopang.

  "This one, I don't know how to sing."

  The little fatty is somewhat timid.

  "Come on, let's sing one."

  "Brother Yi Fan, I really can't sing."

  The little fatty twisted and turned.

  Zhou Fan's eyes blazed with fury as he bellowed, "Damn it, are you going to sing or not?"

  This roar scared Little Fatty a big jump, although still timid, but sang up.

  Blue sky, clear lake water.

  At first, Xiao Pang didn't let go and was also timid, so he went off-key with his first sentence.

  However, Zhou Fan thought it was great, and instead, the few young waiters burst out laughing. But as soon as Zhou Fan glared at them with his eyes, they immediately shut their mouths and didn't dare make a sound again.

  The lush green grassland, this is my home.

  It's probably because no one is disturbing him, Xiao Pangzi doesn't dare to be too casual, but still can't let go.

  Seeing Xiao Pangzi's cautious appearance, Zhou Fan took out a round drum from the side.

  Both hands slowly but rhythmically beat the drum.

  Boom, boom, boom... The hands that never stop beating, the drum sends out waves of sound in harmony with heaven.

  Affected by this, Xiaopang seems to be driven by some force and becomes bolder.

  He opened his throat, and his breath was incredibly long.

  Fine horses in the pool, white sheep flock.

  Singing up to this point, Xiao Pangzi's long and deep breath slowly spread out, loud as thunder.

  "Good kid, I underestimated you."

  Zhou Fan's eyes lit up, and at first he thought the little fatty's voice was pretty good. Now it seems that what's not bad is actually his internal energy being abundant. When singing "Heaven", it's quite majestic. If he masters some more singing skills, even if the original creator of this song, Ma Ke, comes, it won't be much different.

  "Come on, come on, everybody follow me, clap your hands."

  Zhou Fan set an example, and others followed suit, clapping along.

  They were foolish, but they finally understood that Zhou Fan wasn't trying to tease Xiao Pangzi, but rather wanted to teach Xiao Pangzi how to sing.

  In her heart, without realizing it, her eyes had turned red.

  Who would have thought that Xiao Pangzi's life is so good, and he actually got the favor of a certain brother.

  To know, Zhou Fan in their eyes, has long been a real singer, and they even think that it won't be long before Zhou Fan becomes a superstar. Who would have thought, now he's actually teaching Xiao Pangzi to sing. It can't be denied, such actions indeed make them envy Xiao Pangzi a little.

  With everyone's support, amidst cheers and applause.

  The little fatty was fully opening his throat, he was fully expressing the voice he had been holding back for several years.

  I love you, my home.

  My home, my paradise.

  Although there is no microphone, it's just a cappella, without any sound effects.

  It was as if this voice had reached every corner of the bar, infecting everyone.
