Chapter 1855: Press Conference
Li Ming and Xu Qingyun saw that Chen Kaijun did not wish to speak, so they did not ask further; after all, everyone has their own privacy.
"Chen Shao, do you have confidence in this cooperation with Lin Lin Lin Haifeng?" Li Ming asked.
"It should go well," Chen Kaijun replied. "I know Lin Lin Lin Haifeng's abilities very well; she is very talented and gifted, and her thinking is avant-garde. The things I write for her, she should like very much."
"That's good!" Li Ming nodded and said, "I am very much looking forward to this song becoming the theme song of CrossFire."
"Me too!" Xu Qingyun nodded repeatedly. "Chen Kaijun, you must work hard!"
"Rest assured, I will not let you down," Chen Kaijun said with a slight smile. "Come, let's continue drinking!"
After the three of them drank heartily, Li Ming and Xu Qingyun stood up to take their leave.
Although Chen Kaijun was somewhat drunk, his mind was still very clear. He took out his phone and called the driver, asking him to come pick him up and take him home.
About half an hour later, the driver drove over and took Chen Kaijun back home.
When Chen Kaijun was lying in bed with his eyes closed to rest, his phone suddenly rang.
He picked up his phone and looked; he found it was Liu Dongqiang calling.
"That Sun Zi, finally willing to contact me," Chen Kaijun sneered coldly and answered the call.
"Chen Shao, what do you mean? Why did you suddenly make Lin Lin Lin Haifeng suspend her cooperation with me?" Liu Dongqiang's questioning voice came from the other end of the phone. "Do you not want the CrossFire theme song anymore?"
Chen Kaijun listened quietly for a while, then said indifferently, "Liu Dongqiang, I am tired of your tricks."
"What did you say?" Liu Dongqiang's voice sounded somewhat surprised. "What do you mean?"
"My meaning is, suspend your cooperation with Lin Lin Lin Haifeng for a while. I will write a new song for Lin Lin Lin Haifeng, which will be the CrossFire theme song," Chen Kaijun said. "This song will fit the game CrossFire better and will also suit Lin Lin Lin Haifeng better."
"You... you want to intervene in the creation of this song yourself?" Liu Dongqiang's voice suddenly became somewhat gloomy. "Do you know what you are doing?"
"Of course I know what I am doing," Chen Kaijun said coldly. "I am doing this for the sake of Lin Lin Lin Haifeng's future."
"Don't give me that!" Liu Dongqiang said in a rage. "Lin Lin Lin Haifeng is my artist; if you want to snatch her away, then go head-to-head with me!"
"You are my person; how could I possibly go head-to-head with you?" Chen Kaijun sneered coldly and said indifferently. "The purpose of my doing this is for Lin Lin Lin Haifeng. If my cooperation with you were truly beneficial to Lin Lin Lin Haifeng, I certainly would not intervene. The problem is that you want to turn her into a money tree; I am doing this to protect her."
"You... what do you want to do?" Liu Dongqiang asked after a moment of silence.
"I hope you can hand the lyrics to Lin Lin Lin Haifeng according to our previous agreement," Chen Kaijun replied. "If Lin Lin Lin Haifeng refuses, then everything will proceed according to my new plan. As for your cooperation with Lin Lin Lin Haifeng, I hope it can be suspended for a while before continuing."
"You... you want to take Lin Lin Lin Haifeng away from me?" Liu Dongqiang's voice trembled somewhat.
"You said it right!" Chen Kaijun said indifferently. "As long as I can turn Lin Lin Lin Haifeng into a world-class singer, I will spare no cost." Liu Dongqiang remained silent for a moment, then said slowly, "Chen Kaijun, I warn you, if you really dare to snatch Lin Lin Lin Haifeng away, I will definitely make you regret it!"
"I am waiting for you!" Chen Kaijun hung up the phone and said coldly, "I want to see just what you can do to me!"
Next, Chen Kaijun sent a text message to Lin Lin Lin Haifeng: Lin Lin Lin Haifeng, I hope you can hand the lyrics to Liu Dongqiang according to our previous agreement. If Liu Dongqiang does not hand the lyrics to you according to the agreement, then consider the plan I mentioned to you earlier invalid! I hope you can cooperate with Liu Dongqiang smoothly!
After sending the text message, Chen Kaijun lay back on the bed with his head tilted up, quietly waiting for Lin Lin Lin Haifeng's response.
A few minutes later, Lin Lin Lin Haifeng's text message finally came back: Rest assured, I will cooperate with Liu Dongqiang according to the previous agreement! Thank you for writing that song for me; I will definitely cherish it well!
Seeing Lin Lin Lin Haifeng's reply, Chen Kaijun let out a long sigh of relief.
At this very moment, he finally understood a truth: outwitting and outfighting Liu Dongqiang is not an easy thing, but as long as one masters the techniques and holds the trump cards, victory is still very easy!
Lying in bed, Chen Kaijun carefully recalled the various experiences before his transmigration and gradually fell asleep.
Early the next morning, after Chen Kaijun woke up, he washed up and went out.
He planned to go to the company first to instruct Assistant Xiao Wang on the upcoming matters, and then go find Lin Lin Lin Haifeng to discuss the new song's creation plan.
Upon arriving at the company, Xiao Wang greeted him with a face full of excitement: "Chen Shao, you have finally come!"
"What's wrong?" Chen Kaijun looked at Xiao Wang and asked. "Is there something?" "Chen Shao, how was your gathering with Li Ming and Xu Qingyun yesterday?" Xiao Wang asked curiously. "I heard that after Li Ming signed Xu Qingyun, he rarely cooperates with other artists; his cooperation with you this time must be very interesting!"
"Indeed so," Chen Kaijun nodded and said. "Li Ming has very high hopes for Lin Lin Lin Haifeng and wants to turn her into a world-class singer."
"Really?" Xiao Wang's eyes lit up. "That is truly great! With Li Ming's help, Lin Lin Lin Haifeng will definitely soar!"
"However, I plan to write a new song for Lin Lin Lin Haifeng," Chen Kaijun said indifferently. "It is the CrossFire theme song."
"Ah?" Xiao Wang paused for a moment. "Chen Shao, what do you mean? Are you going to suspend your cooperation with Li Ming?"
"Yes," Chen Kaijun nodded. "I think Lin Lin Lin Haifeng is more suitable to sing this song, and I plan to use this song as the CrossFire theme song, which will be more helpful for Lin Lin Lin Haifeng's promotion."
"This... well then," Xiao Wang said hesitantly. "Chen Shao, will doing this offend Li Ming? After all, his previous cooperation with you was very pleasant."
"No need to worry about that," Chen Kaijun said indifferently. "I will discuss it properly with Li Ming. Moreover, the creation of the CrossFire theme song is very critical; I believe Lin Lin Lin Haifeng's talent and ability in this regard must be far superior to anyone else's."
"Since you say so, I will believe you," Xiao Wang smiled and said. "However, Chen Shao, when will your creation plan with Lin Lin Lin Haifeng begin? Do you need me to arrange the schedule?"
"No rush," Chen Kaijun shook his head and said. "I will go find Lin Lin Lin Haifeng to discuss it first, and then arrange the creation plan. In short, we must take Lin Lin Lin Haifeng as the center and strive to create the most perfect work."
"Okay! Chen Shao, rest assured, I will execute it seriously," Xiao Wang said with full confidence.
After finishing his instructions, Chen Kaijun left the company and drove to Lin Lin Lin Haifeng's home. Lin Lin Lin Haifeng lived in a luxurious villa; this was specially prepared for her by Chen Kaijun to show his importance attached to her.
When Chen Kaijun arrived at Lin Lin Lin Haifeng's doorstep, he happened to see her getting out of a car.
"Chen Shao, why have you come?" Lin Lin Lin Haifeng asked somewhat surprised upon seeing Chen Kaijun.
"Just came to see you, to see if there is any place you need help," Chen Kaijun said with a smile. "Let me help you carry these luggage."
"No need, I can handle these myself," Lin Lin Lin Haifeng quickly refused. "By the way, what have you been busy with recently? It seems I haven't seen you for a long time."
"I am fine; I am busy in the company every day," Chen Kaijun said indifferently. "Recently I have been cooperating with a big foreign producer and need to prepare some things. Additionally, I also want to write a new song for you, which is the CrossFire theme song."
"Really?" Lin Lin Lin Haifeng asked with surprise and joy. "That is truly great! I have always wanted to sing a song related to CrossFire, because this game means extraordinary things to me."
"Then it is settled; I will help you write this song," Chen Kaijun said. "I think with your style and voice, this song will definitely be outstanding."
"Thank you, Chen Shao!" Lin Lin Lin Haifeng said gratefully. "You are too good to me! Whatever needs help, I will do my best to cooperate with you."
"That's good! Let's go inside your house and sit for a while first; there are some things to discuss with you," Chen Kaijun said.
The two walked into Lin Lin Lin Haifeng's house together and began a pleasant chat.
In the following time, Chen Kaijun and Lin Lin Lin Haifeng discussed the new song's creation plan and details.
Lin Lin Lin Haifeng was very serious; while discussing the lyrics and melody with Chen Kaijun, she was recording some ideas and requirements.
After the discussion concluded, Chen Kaijun and Lin Lin Lin Haifeng rehearsed several scenes and movements together to prepare for the upcoming CrossFire MV shoot.
Unknowingly, the sky had gradually grown dark.
"It's getting late, I have to head back." Chen Kaijun glanced at the time and said, "Tomorrow I'll arrange a recording studio and a producer for you, and we'll start the official song recording."
"Great! I'll prepare thoroughly!" Lin Lin Lin Haifeng said with full confidence.
As Chen Kaijun left Lin Lin Lin Haifeng's home, he happened to receive a phone call.
It was Li Ming calling.
"Chen Shao, I heard you have a new plan with Lin Lin Lin Haifeng recently?" Li Ming asked, "Why did you suddenly want to pause our cooperation?"
"Yes, there is a new plan." Chen Kaijun said calmly, "I think Lin Lin Lin Haifeng is more suitable to sing this theme song, and I want to use this song as the theme song for 'CrossFire'; promoting Lin Lin Lin Haifeng this way will be more helpful." "Cooperating with Lin Lin Lin Haifeng to create the 'CrossFire' theme song?" Li Ming asked, somewhat puzzled, "Wasn't our previous cooperation very pleasant? And will your new plan affect our cooperation?"
"Rest assured, my new plan will not affect our previous cooperation." Chen Kaijun explained, "The creation of this theme song is very critical; I believe Lin Lin Lin Haifeng's talent and ability in this regard must be far superior to anyone else's."
"I don't quite understand what you mean." Li Ming said hesitantly, "Could you tell me the specific plan? We can discuss it together."
"No problem." Chen Kaijun then explained his new plan to Li Ming in detail.
After listening, Li Ming fell silent for a moment and said, "Your plan does have some novelty, but in this case, wouldn't Lin Lin Lin Haifeng become your new partner?"
"You could say that." Chen Kaijun said calmly, "I believe Lin Lin Lin Haifeng can bring me more inspiration and creativity."
"In that case, I have nothing more to say." Li Ming sighed, "I just hope you won't forget our previous cooperation, and that the matter of Lin Lin Lin Haifeng won't affect our relationship."
"Rest assured about that, I will definitely arrange everything carefully." Chen Kaijun promised, "After the song is finished, I'll arrange a time to meet with you, and we'll discuss the next steps thoroughly."
"Alright, then I'll wait for your good news." Li Ming hung up the phone.
Chen Kaijun watched the phone screen gradually go black and couldn't help but sigh: In this world, it truly is strength that speaks!
Then, he drove to the recording studio to prepare for Lin Lin Lin Haifeng's recording.
A few days later.
Inside the recording studio.
Lin Lin Lin Haifeng stood before the microphone and gently closed her eyes.
Producer Chen Kaijun sat before the control console, quietly waiting for Lin Lin Lin Haifeng to begin.
"Are you ready?" Chen Kaijun asked through the microphone.
Lin Lin Lin Haifeng nodded, took a deep breath, and then slowly began to sing.
Her voice was delicate and full of emotion, perfectly presenting the theme of 'CrossFire'.
Chen Kaijun nodded to himself as he listened; this song had already surpassed his initial expectations.
After Lin Lin Lin Haifeng's recording was completed, Chen Kaijun began the post-production work.
He carefully selected every track, mixing them into a complete song.
After multiple revisions and refinements, the 'CrossFire' theme song was finally finished.
Chen Kaijun nodded with satisfaction: "This song will surely become one of Lin Lin Lin Haifeng's representative works."
