AFVSIBS Chapter 17: Such a Good Song, You Can Have It
At this moment, the fans in the live stream were also eagerly anticipating what better advice Yang Hanhan would give Zhou Chen. They hoped that under the guidance of the pop queen Yang Hanhan, Zhou Chen could go even further in the music industry.
"To be honest, I don't have any specific advice for Zhou Chen. Because I've found that his singing skills are really good, and his original song has a lot of depth. For a trainee to write such a profound song is truly rare. I look forward to him putting music to this song and releasing it soon."
However, after some thought, Yang Hanhan didn't offer any substantial advice; she mainly praised Zhou Chen's singing and songwriting abilities.
This once again made the other trainees envious and resentful.
"For Zhou Chen to receive praise from the pop queen twice in a row shows his talent."
"Yeah, Yang Hanhan even said she looks forward to the full version of Zhou Chen's 'The Moon Represents My Heart' being released soon. It seems like she, just like us, was also captivated by Zhou Chen's rendition of 'The Moon Represents My Heart'."
"Zhou Chen is truly the most handsome and talented trainee among this batch. His performance is flawless. What's even scarier is that he seems to be performing under his full potential. If he were to perform at a hundred percent, it would be unbelievable."
...
Yang Hanhan's praise for Zhou Chen once again excited Zhou Chen's fans online.
They became even more certain that supporting and liking Zhou Chen was the right decision.
"Thank you, Yang Jie. If you like 'The Moon Represents My Heart,' I can give it to you."
At this moment, Zhou Chen stood up and expressed his intention to give the song away.
This?
Instantly, everyone was stunned once again.
What's going on?
Such a good song, and he's directly offering it to Yang Hanhan?
Is this for real? Many trainees dream of getting good songs to debut, yet he composed such a good song and instead of using it himself, he intends to give it away?
Could he be crazy? Does he really not want to debut?
Even Yang Hanhan was bewildered. She didn't expect Zhou Chen to be so generous as to offer to give her the performance rights to "The Moon Represents My Heart".
This song was so excellent, so good. If it were any other artist, they would probably want to keep it as the lead single for their album.
And here was Zhou Chen, offering it to me?
She wasn't sure if Zhou Chen was joking with her, so, to avoid any potential awkwardness, she could only smile and say, "Really? If it's true, then that's great. But the condition is you must be willing to part with it. After the show, be prepared, because I might really come to you for the performance rights of this song."
"No problem. If you like it, you can come to me anytime."
Who knew, Zhou Chen's response was very affirmative.
They wouldn't know that although "The Moon Represents My Heart" was excellent, there were too many outstanding songs in Zhou Chen's mind that had crossed over from Earth.
Right now, he simply wasn't interested in becoming a music industry star, so as long as Yang Hanhan genuinely wanted it, he didn't mind contributing it.
"Oh my god, what's wrong with Zhou Chen? Giving away such an excellent original song? Doesn't he care about his debut opportunity?"
"I feel like he's really seizing the opportunity to fly under the radar. If it were any other trainee, they would definitely keep such a good song for themselves. Who thinks of giving it away?"
"I think it's okay? After all, he wants to give it to the pop queen Yang Hanhan. Maybe he's thinking that this song suits Yang Hanhan better to perform."
"I feel like Zhou Chen has a hidden side to him, so is it possible that he has many original songs like 'The Moon Represents My Heart'?"
"Could it be that Zhou Chen is intentionally showing off? 'Many'? Do you really think he's some kind of gold medal songwriter or something?"
...
The news about Zhou Chen wanting to give "The Moon Represents My Heart" to Yang Hanhan for her to perform caused a huge controversy online.
Due to Yang Hanhan's fame as the pop queen, this matter quickly escalated.
Those who weren't interested in the show suddenly flooded into the live stream or turned on their TVs to watch the program.
The staff of the program were ecstatic when they saw that the backstage viewership had surpassed 2.5.
If Zhao An wasn't currently occupied on the show, his assistant Qin Haishan would have rushed over to tell him about this pleasant surprise.
However, fellow trainees Liu Chao and Li Yuan didn't think so about Zhou Chen wanting to give "The Moon Represents My Heart" to Yang Hanhan to perform.
Especially Li Yuan, he felt that Zhou Chen was just saying this to attract attention and traffic.
He just didn't believe that Zhou Chen would really be willing to give away such a good song.
He expressed a strong disdain for Zhou Chen's "pretentious" behavior.
But Yang Hanhan could tell that Zhou Chen wasn't just putting on an act, but truly intended to give her such a good song.
Although she didn't understand it, she was also very happy about it.
Because after her concert this month, she also planned to fully immerse herself in the creation of a new album.
If the new album could have such an excellent song as "The Moon Represents My Heart", it would naturally be fantastic.
So, she smiled and said, "Zhou Chen, thank you. Let's discuss this matter privately later. You are the most unique trainee I've ever seen. Keep up the good work, I believe your future will be very bright."
Yang Hanhan's words undoubtedly brought Zhou Chen even greater attention, and also aroused even more envy and jealousy from the other trainees.
Even his agent, Zhang Chuchu, felt a bit hesitant at this moment about her plan to freeze Zhou Chen in the future.
After all, as a professional agent in the industry, she knew very well that Zhou Chen's current popularity was booming. Plus, with Yang Hanhan's praise and admiration for him at the moment.
If she didn't freeze Zhou Chen afterwards, Zhou Chen's future could indeed be considered very promising.
But Zhou Chen just wouldn't listen, just had to be disobedient, just had to defy her.
If it weren't for all this, if he could still be as dedicated as before, practicing until three in the morning for the sake of a tiny opportunity, how great would that be!
But in the end, all of this was just "if". Her authority couldn't be challenged. Moreover, he was just a trainee who hadn't debuted yet. If he could easily defy her, not take her words seriously? Then what position did she have at Wanhe?
So, even though Zhou Chen's popularity was so high right now, even though he had gained Yang Hanhan's admiration, this precedent of disobedience, she felt, could not be allowed.
She had already made up her mind. Tonight, she would discuss with her husband, Wang Wei, find some connections, replace Zhou Chen tomorrow, and then freeze him, completely depriving him of exposure.
She was very clear that in the entertainment industry, even if someone had once had high popularity, as long as they were frozen for more than a year or so, they would basically be forgotten. Moreover, someone like Zhou Chen, who hadn't even debuted yet...
