From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 138 New Song
Tsim Sha Tsui, inside a library, on the second floor.

Holding a music book in his hand, Jiang Yao slowly flipped through the pages.

With high mental power, one will naturally have sharp hearing and eyesight.

Now, as long as he has read the content carefully, after putting the book down, he will close his eyes and silently recall the content he has just read. He doesn't have to remember every word of it, but there is no problem in writing down the general idea.

In two days, he will have to report to the Uniformed Unit of Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station.

Taking advantage of this rare free time, he went to the library to read books, naturally wanting to teach himself how to compose music.

If you want someone who doesn’t even know the musical notation to become a music celebrity, it will definitely take many years of accumulation and it cannot be achieved in a short period of time.

Jiang Yao had never thought of reaching this level of musical attainment through self-study. For him, as long as he could barely compose the songs in his mind, it was enough.

In addition to the book he was reading, there was also paper and pen in front of him.

After reading most of the book, Jiang Yao closed his eyes and thought for a long time. After feeling that he had understood something from the book, he hummed a tune, picked up a pen, and began to write and draw on the white paper.

He had only read half of the book and had a preliminary understanding of the musical notation. Even if he had the complete score in his mind, it would certainly not be easy for him to actually compose it.

After writing each section of syllables, he would stop and hum a few lines while referring to the music he had just written. When he felt that there was something wrong with the syllables, he would start to revise it again.

Whenever he needed to use music theory knowledge that he didn't quite understand, he would find the corresponding book from the nearby bookshelf and read it again.

When a person is immersed in something, time always passes very quickly.

It was not even noon when we left Feixing Records.

After eating a small meal, Jiang Yao sat in the library. Before he knew it, several hours had passed.

'Gurgle... Gurgle...' Because he had spent most of his time reading and studying, the song in his mind was only half finished, and his stomach was already rumbling.

Jiang Yao put away his pen and paper and was about to put the music book in front of him back on the bookshelf when he suddenly discovered that a beautiful woman with an intellectual beauty had appeared opposite his desk.

"Aren't you a policeman? How come you suddenly have time to study music?"

Seeing that Jiang Yao noticed her, the woman smiled and greeted him.

She had been sitting opposite Jiang Yao for nearly an hour. Unfortunately, Jiang Yao was writing and drawing on the paper with a pen in his hand and never even glanced at her.

Seeing Jiang Yao so engrossed, she didn't want to disturb him, so she sat opposite Jiang Yao with a book titled "Applied Psychology and Psychological Hypnosis" in her hand, flipping through the book quietly.

"Doctor Guan, it's you. Are you here to read too?" The woman's greeting made Jiang Yao stunned for a moment, but he soon reacted.

He had originally stood up and was about to put the book in his hand back on the bookshelf, but then he sat down again with a smile on his face.

The intellectual beauty opposite is Dr. Guan Jiahui from the Sunshine Psychological Counseling Center.

Two days ago, when Jiang Yao was doing a psychological assessment at her place, he stayed at her place for almost an hour.

"It's a lifelong learning experience. When I have free time on weekdays, I like to come here and read books."

"Hypnosis is an application of psychology. I've been interested in this area lately, so I came here to find some books to study."

Pointing to the book in her hand, Guan Jiahui smiled and said, "Jiang Sir, I really didn't expect that you not only like music, but you also try to compose your own music while flipping through music books."

Having sat opposite Jiang Yao for such a long time, she naturally could tell what Jiang Yao was writing and drawing on the paper and pen.

It is for this reason that she is so curious about Jiang Yao in front of her.

"You never stop learning, Dr. Guan, that's what you said!" Jiang Yao laughed.

Then he continued, "Where I live, there are many neighbors who are quite accomplished in music."

"Influenced by them, I have also developed some interest in music in recent days."

"A person should develop some other interests and hobbies besides work."

"This is my first time dabbling in music, and I was just messing around on a whim."

"Doctor Guan, you should have been sitting across from me for a while, so you must have seen that I had to revise several times before writing a short paragraph of syllables."

"If I really had some accomplishments in music, why would I behave like this?"

Although these words were half true and half false, they sounded serious when they came out of Jiang Yao's mouth.

"Well, I can see that Mr. Jiang is indeed a novice in composing music!" Covering her mouth and sneering, Guan Jiahui said, "Although you are not very skilled in writing music, I think what you wrote is still pretty good."

"Before, I accidentally glanced at the song you wrote. I tried to hum a few lines at the beginning, and it was really great."

“After the whole song is completed and the lyrics are added, I am really looking forward to what the final result will be like.”

"By the way, Mr. Jiang, have you thought of a name for the song you wrote?"

The psychology book in Guan Jiahui's hand had been closed and put aside.

Noise is prohibited in the library. With obvious curiosity on her face, she spoke to Jiang Yao. The two of them were very close and spoke in low voices.

As a psychologist, she is one of the elites in Hong Kong. For someone like her, she knows a lot. Looking at the music score written by Jiang Yao, it is naturally not a difficult problem for her to hum a few lines along.

"I'm tone-deaf. I can write some songs, but I definitely won't sing them myself."

"But after the song is written and the lyrics are added, it will probably be handed over to other people to sing, and then made into an album and released to the market as soon as possible."

"The name of the song is 'Forget Love on a Cold Rainy Night'. If Dr. Guan wants to listen to it, just buy the album!"

……

After a little consideration, Jiang Yao did not hide it and responded with a smile.

In his memory of his previous life, although the original singer of the song "Forget Love on a Cold Rainy Night" was a singing god, he truly fell in love with the song after listening to Dasha's cover version with a sense of vicissitudes.

Precisely because he was very familiar with this song, Jiang Yao chose it as a practice target when he tried to compose music for the first time.

"Jiang Sir, you are really capable. You have just started learning to write songs, and you have already arranged to release an album!"

After listening to Jiang Yao's words, Guan Jiahui was obviously stunned.

After a moment of distraction, she looked very strange, staring at Jiang Yao and jokingly said, "Forget Love Cold Rainy Night, right? I've got the name of the song. If the songs you wrote can really be made into an album and released, I can't guarantee that there will be more, but if you buy ten or eight copies, there will definitely be no problem."

Having said that, Guan Jiahui playfully made an 'OK' gesture to Jiang Yao.

"It's just a side job. My main job is just a small uniformed police officer." Jiang Yao grinned and was about to say something when his stomach started to growl again. Looking at Guan Jiahui in front of him, Jiang Yao tentatively invited, "It's getting late, Doctor Guan, would you please have dinner with me?"

"No, I'll read for a while. Thank you for your invitation!" Guan Jiahui smiled politely at Jiang Yao and declined.

"Well, I'll be leaving first. Let's make an appointment another time." It was just a casual invitation. Since the other party didn't agree, Jiang Yao naturally wouldn't force it.

After saying hello to Guan Jiahui, he put the book in his hand back on the bookshelf and walked straight out of the library.

The next day, around three in the afternoon.

At Feixing Records' headquarters, Jiang Yao had just shown up when he was immediately invited into Wang Tengfei's office.

"Lao Wang, what do you think of this song?"

He took out a piece of paper folded into a tofu block from his pocket, handed it to Wang Tengfei, and asked with a smile.

As for the music score, he had already completed most of it yesterday, and the remaining part was naturally completed today.

Although he could not guarantee that the song he compiled was exactly the same as the original, even if there were flaws, the difference should not be that big.

As long as the music was finished, writing the lyrics was extremely easy for Jiang Yao. It only took him a few minutes to finish it.

Taking the piece of tofu paper from Jiang Yao, Wang Tengfei slowly opened it with a puzzled look on his face.

Wandering in this street, looking for lost fragments,

My heart feels messy in the cold.

I still miss your tenderness,
How deeply I loved you.

……

Having been in the record industry for so many years, although Wang Tengfei cannot write lyrics or compose music, he naturally has a good vision.

He browsed through the song several times, and then began to hum along with the tune.

"This lyrics, this music..." He had a confused look on his face before, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Compared to the songs I paid a lot for before, this song is much better."

"Although it has not been verified by the market, based on my many years of experience in the industry, this song definitely has the potential to become a small hit, if not a huge one."

"Mr. Jiang, where did this song come from? Is it a new song you prepared for the singers under our company?"

With a fiery look in his eyes, Wang Tengfei looked directly at Jiang Yao. He opened his mouth tentatively and asked.

"Where else could it come from? I just wrote it down these past two days."

"Didn't Lu Dayou say he would come to terminate the contract today? Where is he? Has he come yet?" Jiang Yao responded with a shrug and asked casually.

"Well, he came here with that Sister Ling!"

Wang Tengfei nodded: "That woman is very stylish."

"According to what you said, Mr. Jiang, Lu Dayou's penalty of 200,000 yuan cannot be reduced by a cent. That woman is very dissatisfied with this figure. She keeps yelling that we don't give her face and we will regret it in the future."

"Although she and Lu Dayou gave the money, she was still cursing that Feixing Records would go bankrupt before she left."

……

When talking about Sister Ling, Wang Tengfei, who was a little excited just now, suddenly looked a little unhappy.

It seems that he must have held a lot of resentment in his heart when facing that woman before.

"Who does she think she is? Does she have the final say on whether our Feixing Records goes bankrupt or not?" Jiang Yao was also very unhappy when he heard Wang Tengfei's complaints and snorted coldly.

You know, all his fortune is in Feixing Records. It would be strange if he didn't feel angry when that woman cursed his company to go bankrupt soon.

"Lü Dayou has already terminated his contract. Zhang Fang is the only signed singer in the company."

"There is no other choice. This song, Forget Love, Cold Rainy Night, must be sung by him."

"After the copyright registration of the song is completed, you can find Zhang Fang and ask him to practice this song first."

"It's just a title song, used to make the album, and it's still a little bit off. I'll find time to write another song in a few days."

"We have two hit songs. If you guys can find a way to get some more together and put together an album, it shouldn't be too much of a problem."

"I don't need to explain the current situation of the company. You should know it well, Lao Wang."

"We can't afford to delay the release of the new album. With the penalty that Lu Dayou just paid, the funds should be enough to produce just one new album."

"I have other things to do recently, so I'll leave the company's affairs to you, Lao Wang. Please finish the new album as soon as possible. I believe you will not let me down, right?"

……

Looking directly at Wang Tengfei in front of him, Jiang Yao gave instructions with a serious expression.

Although he can provide some high-quality pop hits, Wang Tengfei is definitely better at managing a record company.

Jiang Yao is still self-aware of this.

If he stayed in the company every day, it would only cause trouble for the company and affect Wang Tengfei's prestige within the company.

As for if I am not there, will others make moves in the company and take the opportunity to sideline me?
Jiang Yao never worried about these things. To him, if others behaved properly, he would also abide by the rules. If others behaved recklessly, he could not be blamed for being cruel.

"Mr. Jiang, leave the new album to me, don't worry."

"As long as Zhang Fang can practice the new songs well, I will record the new album immediately and then release it to the market as soon as possible."

"After so many years of decline, I believe that this time, our Feixing Records will definitely make a comeback and become a big hit."

With his chest thumping, Wang Tengfei promised confidently.

Although he has not seen the shadow of the second song that Jiang Yao promised, the song "Forget Love on a Cold Rainy Night" alone is enough to guarantee that the sales of their new album to be released by Feixing Records will not be too bad.

Besides, if he could write "Forget Me Not on a Cold Rainy Night", would the quality of the second song that Jiang Yao promised be bad?
At this moment, Wang Tengfei was really grateful that after Jiang Yao acquired Feixing Records, he was generous enough to leave him 10% of the shares.
