NovelEnglishChapter 281: Can You Do It?
“Senior, don’t patronize me. Are you still angry with me?” Song Chengjun pouted and said.
“I’m not patronizing you. I’m serious. And the songs I write will definitely be popular,” Jiang Tong said with a smile. However, no matter what she said, Song Chengjun still did not believe her. He felt that Jiang Tong was just patronizing him.

“Then…” Song Chengjun looked skeptical. Seeing Jiang Tong’s attitude, he couldn’t say anything. He felt that Jiang Tong was overconfident because of the explosive popularity of ‘Medicine’, but he wouldn’t say these words out loud.
“Then let’s go with a love song…” Song Chengjun said after some thought.
“What about the style?” Jiang Tong asked again.
“The style will be more emotional. The rhythm of the chorus can be a little faster.” Song Chengjun spoke very slowly and dragged his words. He continued, “It’s best if it can resonate with the audience. Some parts could be more explosive. It would be very refreshing to listen to it.”
Jiang Tong smiled and raised her eyebrows. She nodded with an expression that said ‘Okay, no problem’. It was an emotional love song, but it required a bit of explosion in the middle. It had to sound very refreshing. This seemed to conflict, but in fact, there was no conflict at all. Many songs had a beautiful melody at the beginning and a sentimental rhythm. When it came to the chorus, they would suddenly become impassioned. This contrast could highlight the explosive power of the chorus. But it was also very difficult to write! However, this was not a problem for Jiang Tong at all. She had a bunch of songs that were confirmed to be popular in one day. There were only a few types of songs, and love was the main theme of the songs, so Jiang Tong had them ready!
“Did I ask for too much?” Song Chengjun suddenly changed his mind. The more confident Jiang Tong appeared, the less confident he felt. He asked, “Senior, why don’t you just write something?”
“Then I’ll start writing now.” Jiang Tong didn’t say anything more and started to write in the notebook. As usual, she did not pause. Jiang Tong wrote very quickly as if she did not need to think at all. As Song Chengjun watched, he began to feel that Jiang Tong was using the song that she had written to deal with him. However, he felt that something was not quite right, because Jiang Tong had only asked him about the song today.

Next, it was time for her to do the mixing of the music. Jiang Tong marked the instrument, the harmony, and the different stages of singing. She knew Song Chengjun’s voice and habits when he sang, so her notes were all targeted at him. Once Jiang Tong was done, Song Chengjun could follow the script and record a sample. There was no need for anyone else to guide or correct him. The entire process took about half an hour. When Jiang Tong was done, she handed the book to Song Chengjun and smiled, “Take a look.”
Song Chengjun took it and lowered his head to read. “‘A Song For Me’,” he mumbled. He was reading out the title of the song, ‘A Song For Me’. The song started with a refreshing feeling, and the chorus became passionate as it spoke about love. It gave off a very cool feeling. As it was only words, Song Chengjun could not tell what the feeling of the song was. But just from the lyrics, it was written very well!
“Thank you, Senior!” After Song Chengjun finished reading it, he did not comment on the song but thanked Jiang Tong instead.
“I’m selling it to you. What are you thanking me for?” Jiang Tong smiled. Her words seemed to have reminded Song Chengjun of something. He responded, “That’s right. Senior, what’s your card number? I’ll transfer the 100,000 dollars to you first, and we’ll set a time again after we split the profits. I won’t go back on my word.”
“Scan the code.” Jiang Tong opened the QR code on her phone, placed her phone on the table, and pushed it over. Jiang Tong knew that Song Chengjun always had millions of dollars of allowance money in his phone. After Song Chengjun scanned the code and made the payment, a hundred thousand dollars was transferred to her account! Jiang Tong put away her phone. She said, “Alright, that’s all for today. I still have something to do.”
“Alright, that’s all for now, Senior.” Song Chengjun stood up as well. He was in a hurry to leave as well. He wanted to go back and record a song, and he did not want to waste any time. “Senior, let’s meet again next time. I’ll treat you to a meal and we can have a good chat.”
“Alright, I’ll be leaving first.” Jiang Tong did not waste any more time. She tidied the corners of her shirt, smiled at Song Chengjun, and turned to leave.
