Chapter 1850

"Thank you, Brother Wang!" Zhao Yali and Chen Kaijun said together.

"Then I'll go first; contact me by phone if anything comes up," Wang Xiaogang said.

"Okay," Su Yuxuan replied, forcing herself to hold back her reluctance.

Wang Xiaogang turned and left, driving away from the hotel. Su Yuxuan watched his departing figure, and a strange melancholy surged in her heart. She suddenly realized that at this very moment, her longing for Wang Xiaogang had reached its peak. "Yali, take us to Entertainment Weekly," Su Yuxuan said to Zhao Yali after returning home.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away," Zhao Yali agreed cheerfully.

"Kaijun, go rehearse in the practice room first; we need to leave a good impression on Entertainment Weekly," Su Yuxuan said to Chen Kaijun.

"Okay," Chen Kaijun said. Knowing this was a very important opportunity, he agreed without hesitation.

The next morning, Zhao Yali got up early and prepared breakfast for Su Yuxuan and Chen Kaijun.

After breakfast, they set off for the Entertainment Weekly recording site. Since the journey was long, they arrived just before noon.

The recording site was very lively, with many staff members busy at work. They were first taken to the dressing room, where makeup artists carefully styled them.

At this moment, Wang Xiaogang also arrived at the recording site. Seeing Su Yuxuan and the others busy in the dressing room, he walked over.

"Yuxuan, Kaijun, you must perform well in your shoot this afternoon," Wang Xiaogang encouraged.

"Got it, thank you, Brother Wang!" Su Yuxuan said with a smile.

At this moment, Chen Kaijun's phone rang. It was a call from the director of Entertainment Weekly.

"Hello, this is Chen Kaijun," Chen Kaijun said as he answered the call.

"Hello, Mr. Chen. I am the director of Entertainment Weekly. We greatly admire your musical talent. Your single recording begins this afternoon. We have arranged the recording studio and the MV filming location. Now, please come to the conference room so we can discuss the filming details first."

"Okay, I'm coming right over," Chen Kaijun said after hanging up the phone. He turned to Su Yuxuan and Wang Xiaogang and said, "The director asked me to come over to discuss the filming details."

"Go ahead and do well," Su Yuxuan encouraged.

Chen Kaijun followed the staff member away, heading for the conference room. When he walked in, the director and some staff members were already waiting inside.

"Hello, Mr. Chen," the director said, extending his hand warmly. "It's a pleasure to work with you."

"Thank you!" After shaking hands with the director, Chen Kaijun sat down.

"Let's discuss the MV script first," the director said, taking out the screenplay. "This single's MV is six minutes long. We need you to sing a segment first, then have some romantic interactions with the female lead. Finally, sing another segment of the chorus to bring the MV to its climax."

Chen Kaijun studied the script carefully, silently noting down some key points in his mind.

"Do you see anything that needs changing?" the director asked.

"There shouldn't be," Chen Kaijun said after a moment of hesitation. "Let's proceed with this plan."

"Okay," the director said, taking out a contract. "This is our cooperation contract with you. Please check if anything needs to be added."

After taking the contract, Chen Kaijun read it carefully. Besides the MV filming details, the contract contained some additional clauses and notes. The most important one concerned song copyright. This contract clearly stipulated that the copyright of this single belonged to Entertainment Weekly, while Chen Kaijun only obtained the performance rights. However, Chen Kaijun did not mind these details because he believed that as long as his song became hot and explosive, Entertainment Weekly would absolutely not treat him unfairly. So, without hesitation, he signed his name on the contract. "Thank you!" After watching Chen Kaijun sign the contract, the director said satisfactorily, "Then let's not waste time; let's start filming now."

"Okay," Chen Kaijun said, stood up, and left with the director, heading for the recording studio and the MV filming location.

About three hours later, the MV filming was finally completed. Chen Kaijun and Su Yuxuan returned to the hotel to rest while waiting for the finished cut.

The finished cut was ready two days later, and Chen Kaijun and Su Yuxuan came together to the Entertainment Weekly editing room.

"Good, very good!" After seeing the finished cut, the director said with great satisfaction, "This single will definitely explode in popularity. Mr. Chen, your performance was superb, and your interaction with the female lead was very sweet. Yuxuan, your performance was also great, adding many highlights to the MV."

"Thank you for the praise!" Chen Kaijun and Su Yuxuan said in unison.

"We plan to officially release this single in three days. At that time, the MV will also be broadcast on major television stations and online platforms. Do you think there is anything else that needs to be added?" the director asked.

"I think we can add a promotional slogan at the end of the MV," Su Yuxuan said after thinking for a moment. "This single expresses the sweetness and romance of love, so we can position the slogan as 'Sweet and romantic love that makes you unable to stop!'"

"Excellent!" The director was very satisfied with Su Yuxuan's creativity. "Then let's settle on that. Mr. Chen, what do you think?"

"I have no objections," Chen Kaijun said. "I am very grateful for your support and help."

"Happy cooperation!" The director extended his hand to shake hands with Chen Kaijun and Su Yuxuan.

"Happy cooperation!" They shook hands together.

After leaving the editing room, Su Yuxuan and Chen Kaijun returned to the hotel room together.

"After this single is released, we will start preparing for the recording of a new album," Su Yuxuan said while sitting on the sofa. "I hope we can record an album that surpasses 'Love You' and make more people like our music."

"Mm, I will work hard," Chen Kaijun nodded. "I also hope to sing more good songs."

"Then you should prepare the creation plan first," Su Yuxuan said, taking out a blank sheet of paper. "Let's discuss together what type of songs we should sing next."

"Okay," Chen Kaijun said, and began discussing the creation plan with Su Yuxuan...

Meanwhile, this news was also published on the official website of Entertainment Weekly.

"Hello everyone, I am Chen Kaijun! I am very happy to cooperate with Entertainment Weekly to release my first single, 'Love You'. This is another important milestone on my musical journey and also my pursuit of musical ideals. This MV took several months to complete. Thank you to the director and all the staff for their hard work. Also, thank you to my good friends Su Yuxuan and Wang Xiaogang for their continued support and encouragement. I hope everyone likes this MV and also likes my single!"

Chen Kaijun said at the press conference.

This press conference article quickly topped the online headlines, triggering countless reposts and comments.

"Wow, my idol is actually starring in the MV. So excited!"

"This MV will definitely sell out! I'm looking forward to this MV!"

"This MV will definitely sell out, and I dare say it must be personally directed by Chen Kaijun! He is currently recognized as a musical genius in the country!"

The fans of Chen Kaijun and Su Yuxuan went crazy, leaving messages one after another expressing full confidence in this single.

"Chen Kaijun's single is about to be released! So nervous, so excited!"

"Yeah, I can't wait."

"Looking forward to this single!"

"Wife, when will our new album be released?"

"Next spring, I guess. Anyway, we have already prepared one song, so there's no need to rush into a new album."

Chen Kaijun's single was immediately widely acclaimed upon release, and many people reserved the album's launch date. A group of brain-dead fans even reminded Chen Kaijun to release his new album quickly, or they would buy other songs.

"Wife, what do you think of this single?"

"It's quite good. Compared to the style of 'Love Manual', it seems a bit immature, but it fits the psychology of boys and girls very well."

"That's good. In a few months, the style of 'Love Manual' will disappear completely. Our new album will definitely replace 'Love Manual'!"

With the promotion of many fans and media, this single quickly became popular. In just half a month, sales exceeded 1 million copies. The single's popularity also rose from the original 100,000 to 500,000.

"Husband, you are so amazing!" Su Yuxuan looked at the sales data on the computer screen and exclaimed.

"Hehe, what is this? This is just the beginning; it will be even more amazing in the future," Chen Kaijun said with a faint smile.

Afterwards, Chen Kaijun and Su Yuxuan continued to devote themselves to creation. Although the single had already sold 200,000 copies, Chen Kaijun showed no sign of slackening.

He planned to take advantage of the single's momentum before it faded, creating better songs with all his might, striving to break through 500,000 sales as soon as possible.

Once his single broke through 500,000 sales, his status in the entertainment circle would be as stable as Mount Tai, unshakable by anyone.

Chen Kaijun and Su Yuxuan worked tirelessly in the hotel room. Chen Kaijun wrote a little every night, while Su Yuxuan was responsible for organizing; the two cooperated flawlessly.

That evening, Chen Kaijun and Su Yuxuan returned to the hotel living room together.

"I'll go cook; you go take a shower," Chen Kaijun said to Su Yuxuan.

"Mm." Su Yuxuan replied. She knew Chen Kaijun had been studying cooking recently, so she did not stop him.

"By the way, husband. Shall we have steak tonight? We haven't had steak for a long time."

"Mm." Chen Kaijun nodded with a smile.

"Hehe, I'm really looking forward to it."

After Chen Kaijun finished showering and got dressed, he walked into the dining room. "I made scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and fried a piece of beef; try it and see how it tastes?"

Su Yuxuan looked at the dishes on the table, which were complete in color, aroma, and taste; her eyes immediately sparkled. "It's so beautiful. It smells especially fragrant; let's try it!"

Chen Kaijun picked up a chicken wing with his chopsticks and held it to Su Yuxuan's mouth: "Taste it; I've already tasted it."

"I'll try it too!" Su Yuxuan took the chicken wing, took a small bite, and a look of ecstasy appeared on her cheeks. She gave a thumbs-up. "Mm~ The taste is great!"

After the two finished eating, Chen Kaijun cleared the bowls and chopsticks and put them in the sink.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Chen Kaijun wiped his hands clean, walked outside, and opened the door.

A fat man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked in.

"Chen Kaijun, hello! My name is Liu Dongqiang, director of the Hua Xia Music Production Department."
