Chapter 332 New Album

When Lu Nanting arrived at the recording studio, it was not yet seven o'clock.

Although Gu Lanxi told him not to go, he was really worried since it was still dark, so he went along anyway.

Not wanting to trouble the driver to make multiple trips, Lu Nanting simply had the driver take him to the meeting point, watched Gu Lanxi board the bus, and greeted Gu Lanxi's friends.

Zhang Mingyuan is a very organized agent. Everything Lu Nanting does each day is carefully planned and predetermined by him.

He's recording a song as usual today, with the official start time set for 10 o'clock. It's a rare day of relative leisure for him.

For his first album after marriage, he plans to include ten songs, symbolizing perfection.

Most of the text has been written, and about half of the recording has been completed.

Having not slept all night, Lu Nanting was very sleepy. He opened his private rest room, locked the door, and fell asleep immediately.

When it was time to start work, employees arrived one after another and went about their own business.

His lounge had a fingerprint lock, which was always closed, so no one knew he had come.

It was almost ten o'clock and he still hadn't seen him, so producer Wang Jia started calling him.

Lu Nanting was sleeping too soundly. His phone was on vibrate and he couldn't be woken up no matter what. In addition, the rooms in the recording studio were very soundproof, so the people outside didn't hear any noise.

Unable to find him, they hurriedly called Zhang Mingyuan.

Zhang Mingyuan had an appointment with the brand representative to discuss some business today. Halfway through the conversation, he noticed his phone vibrating incessantly. He had to apologize to the person and quickly answer the phone.

"what's up?"

"The person has disappeared??"

With just two sentences, the brand dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction; instead, they became anxious.

Lu Nanting is a god of wealth they spent a fortune to bring back right now!

What if something goes wrong?
Zhang Mingyuan quickly called Lu Nanting, but of course, the call didn't go through.

Not only did the call not connect, but Lu Nanting was also half asleep, and the vibration was extremely annoying to him.

With a roll over and a push, the phone fell under the bed.

It was winter, and there was a thick carpet under the bed. My phone fell in, and there wasn't a sound.

Zhang Mingyuan frowned and quickly called Gu Lanxi.

As it turned out, Gu Lanxi was currently crossing a canyon and in a signal dead zone, so she couldn't make a phone call.

Zhang Mingyuan had no choice but to call Mrs. Lu.

Lu Tai was completely confused when she received the call.

"Manman went hiking, he can't possibly go with her, can he?"

Thinking it was very likely, he hurriedly checked the surveillance footage to see if he had left the house with Gu Lanxi.

The bad news was that they all left together, but the good news was that only Gu Lanxi carried a bag, while Lu Nanting was dressed as usual.

Then he called the driver.

Only after receiving confirmation did he reply to Zhang Mingyuan:

“The driver said he went to the recording studio before seven o’clock. Do you think he went to catch up on sleep? Manman went hiking today, and he got up at five o’clock to make breakfast for her. He must be very tired.”

Okay, Zhang Mingyuan's forehead veins were throbbing.

They had someone fetch a spare key.

I opened the door, and sure enough, there was the big guy, lying there sleeping soundly, snoring softly. When I woke him up, he was yawning and rubbing his eyes.

She still had a little bit of baby fat on her face, her lips were slightly pouting, she looked aggrieved, and her eyes were innocent and pitiful.

He has fair skin, which becomes very noticeable when he stays up late.

Upon seeing this, Wang Jia couldn't help but gasp: "Were you out stealing last night? You're up like this!"

22 years old is a wonderful age.

He might inadvertently reveal a boyish side, but when his eyes sharpen, he becomes a man again.

He didn't like what Wang Jia said, and his eyes swept over coldly.

"Never mind, it's already past eleven o'clock. Grandpa, what do you want for lunch? Let's continue after lunch."

Lu Nanting slept for a few hours and woke up feeling much better. He cleared his throat, thought he was fine, and nodded.

"I'm going to talk to my uncle about something, I'll come back after lunch."

After saying that, he went into the bathroom, washed up, and even fixed his hair before going upstairs.

Jiang Yan was flirting with his new girlfriend in the office when he slapped her round buttocks. Just as he was about to say something, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

Jiang Yan asked impatiently, but before he could get an answer, the door was opened.

"Uncle, have you eaten?"

Lu Nanting walked in with a bitter and resentful look on his face, clearly indicating that something was on his mind.

Jiang Yan sighed, resignedly pushed his female companion away, and stood up.

"Let's go, what do you want to eat?"

With outsiders in the room, he couldn't possibly ask his nephew about his private affairs in front of them. Lu Nanting didn't say what he wanted to eat either, only that he had to record a song this afternoon.

Jiang Yan immediately sat back down and called the company's head chef, asking him to personally prepare a throat-soothing meal.

The female companion was very tactful; she greeted Lu Nanting and then left.

Before leaving, they even remembered to close the door behind them.

"Avoid coffee and chocolate, and alcohol is also off-limits. Mint candies can dry out the mucous membranes, and bananas and dairy products can cause phlegm..."

Of his three nephews, this youngest one is the closest to him. He's also the youngest, and his recording studio is right downstairs from the Starlight Building. The uncle and nephew see each other countless times throughout the year.

When Jiang Yan heard that he was going to record in the afternoon, he couldn't help but give him some instructions.

"Yes~ I don't want to drink water from unknown sources, I don't want to eat outside food, I want to eat steamed pears with fritillaria cirrhosa... I don't want to eat salmon or kiwis, I've been eating them so much for the past two months that I'm almost sick of them."

"Salmon repairs vocal cord edema, and kiwi repairs damaged mucous membranes; both are good for the throat."

Jiang Yan asked him to sit down and then asked, "How many songs have you recorded?"

"We're recording our fifth song today. How's the packaging design coming along?"

Lu Nanting Studio specializes in music production, sales and promotion, and other very trivial matters, which are usually handled by Starlight.

"The results aren't out yet. There are still three days until the deadline. We'll let you come and choose then."

The chef would be cooking for a while, so the uncle and nephew went to sit on the sofa and chat.

"The calendars sold very well. We prepared a million copies of each of the three types, but people were still clamoring to buy them. My staff suggested printing more, but I didn't agree."

"Yes, it's a scarcity marketing tactic. Even a limited edition of a million is still a limited edition, I know."

This is basically enough. If we were to print more, it would be awkward if we couldn't sell them all.

"The album price is too low. Photobooks and postcards cost money, plus postage. According to your plan, you basically won't make any profit."

Shipping is charged by weight. That thing is delicate, so the packaging must be sturdy. With the surrounding materials, it definitely won't be light.

Moreover, Lu Nanting doesn't plan to limit the quantity; it seems he wants every fan to have a copy.

Sometimes, all that hard work is thankless. In the end, you put in all that effort and don't earn a penny. You might even get scolded. What's the point?

"The album isn't finished yet, so there's no rush. This is just a preliminary idea. We'll see what happens when we make a sample."

Jiang Yan touched his wrist and sighed, "That works too."

I wanted to ask Gu Lanxi about her recent work plans, but I decided against it.

Instead of him bringing it up, Lu Nanting brought it up first.

"Uncle, can you analyze this for me? Is she telling the truth or lying?"

"What truths and lies?"

Lu Nanting then recounted the story about the Rubik's Cube.

"Isn't that simple? Just check her schedule to see if she was on set those days. If she was, the crew members would definitely have seen her there."

After saying that, she couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Your CEO Gu has already been good enough to you, he doesn't need this much, why do you have to make him stay up all night thinking about you?"

Jiang Yan is a seasoned player in the dating scene, having been through countless romances without ever getting attached to anyone. While Lu Nanting may have extensive theoretical knowledge about love, Jiang Yan is rich in experience.

"You do not understand."

Lu Nanting took out his phone and started searching silently, without saying another word.

Urgent! How many songs are on the new album so far?

I remember there are five songs so far.

The plan is to prepare ten songs, signifying perfection.

The package is bright red and includes many exclusive old photos of the two, a huge double poster, and the music video for their hit song, all meticulously produced and sold at cost price. It's a thoughtful gift for fans.

Pre-order the physical vinyl record, then release it as a digital album, with a simultaneous global launch.

Five songs so far:
1. A scene from "That Year I Was Eighteen": A summer afternoon spent with Gu Lanxi studying. Recalling the beauty of first love.

2. "It Has to Be You" - His secret marriage was exposed, so he stayed home to avoid trending topics and wrote a song to make his wife happy, a work expressing his determination.

3. "Lunch" was originally titled "Tuesday Morning, My Wife and I Cook Hot Pot at Home," depicting the daily life of a couple staying at home.

4. When his unicorn ring got stuck on his finger, he was laughed at by the whole world. Gu Lanxi cheered him up by getting him a unicorn plush toy. This is a record of the feeling of being loved.

5. During the recording of "Guangzhou" and "Walking with Love," Gu Lanxi told him that she would love him until the end of her life, and wrote a song on the spot to record it. A promise for life.

Are there any I missed?

The unicorn is in chapter 126. I'm not sure if I mentioned other songs in chapters 126-332.

Sorry for the late update. Today is Sister Wang's birthday, and her program is quite long.

┭┮﹏┭┮

She's already planning the birthdays of other family members...

My dad and I immediately declared that we never wanted to celebrate our birthdays again, we just wanted to receive gifts.

Then we had a meeting to figure out how to make the party even more perfect.

For example, rehearsing the program in advance and making a program list.
