Huayu 2002, I'm going to dominate the music scene!

Chapter 110 Second Album Songs

He leaned back in his chair, twirled the pen between his fingers, and began to think about the remaining songs.

For rock music, he needs a song that complements "Full Power" without overshadowing it.

"Full Power" is already a very energetic and explosive song. Rock music can't be this explosive, otherwise listening to the whole album would be too tiring.

He needs to find a more introspective, more personal rock song.

At that moment, the first song that popped into his head was "Li Bai".

This song is one of Li Ronghao's signature works, and it was repeatedly popular for many years in another time and space.

Song Mo muttered a few lines of lyrics and suddenly realized that this song was actually a perfect fit for his album.

He has been frequently referred to as "Little Jay Chou" by the media.

The lyrics include, "If I could do it all over again, I'd choose Li Bai..."

"7

This is a misplaced response. Why call me "Little Jay Chou"? Just call me Li Bai, okay?

Moreover, the melody of this song is so catchy; as soon as the guitar intro starts, you just want to sway along.

Li Ronghao's songwriting style is characterized by its simplicity at first listen, but its rich flavor upon closer inspection.

He wrote "Li Bai" in his notebook.

Next up is the folk song category. His previous album, "Southern Girl," was about the warmth of strangers in a foreign land, and this time he wanted to aim for widespread popularity.

He quickly locked onto his target; that's right, it was the manly "Nanshan Nan" (南山南).

This song is easy to get hooked on at first listen, but it gets tiresome after a while.

But this doesn't diminish the fact that it's a very popular folk song.

With five core tracks and two more, that makes seven tracks. If the album has ten to twelve tracks, then three to five more are needed.

Now he needs to add a few more popular and catchy love songs. These songs don't need to carry too many themes; they just need to be pleasant to listen to.

The first thing that came to his mind was "Fairy Tales".

The song's popularity is undeniable; Michael Wong's voice paired with the music video brought tears to countless eyes.

Then he thought of "Writing Poems for You". It might not be as popular as "Fairy Tale", but Song Mo felt that the youthful spirit, impulsiveness, and slightly silly love was quite suitable for him to sing when he was twenty years old.

Then there's "A Thousand Years Later," a song by my junior brother Lin Junjie. It has a touch of science fiction and is very popular.

Finally, for pure R&B songs, Song Mo thought for a moment and decided to pull out "Hua Tian Cuo" and "Huan Shan Hai," both of which can be considered classic love songs by Wang and Zhou.

Full Power, General's Order, Hair Like Snow, Red Dust Inn, Beauty, Fairy Tale

"Hua Tian Cuo", "Huan Shan Hai", "Wei Ni Xie Shi", "Nan Shan Nan", "Li Bai", a total of eleven songs, perfect.

Song Mo decided on the album title instantly: "Li Bai".

For the next period of time, Song Mo basically focused on the lyrics and music for his second album.

But just as he finished writing the lyrics and music for "Full Power" and "General's Order," Bi Xiaoshi came looking for him.

"Xiao Song, did I disturb you?" Bi Xiaoshi sat down on the sofa and placed the folder on the coffee table.

"I just finished writing two poems and am taking a break." Song Mo closed his notebook, leaned back in his chair, and asked, "Teacher Bi, what's up?"

Bi Xiaoshi glanced at him: "You know the Global Chinese Music Chart, right?"

Song Mo nodded. Of course he knew about this award; it was the first global Chinese-language music radio program, covering mainland China...

It wields considerable influence in multiple regions, including Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia.

"We've got news from them," Bi Xiaoshi said. "You'll win two awards: the Silver Award for Most Popular Male Newcomer, tied with Hu Yanbin, and an Outstanding Artist Award for the Yanjing Area."

Song Mo's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, and he twirled the pen between his fingers: "That's it?"

"You've only released one album; your foundation is too shallow." Bi Xiaoshi's tone carried a hint of helplessness. "This year, Jay Chou, Stefanie Sun, Wang Fei, and S.H.E. all released albums, and these two awards are pretty good."

Song Mo thought for a moment, then put down his pen: "Teacher Bi, why don't you go and collect it for me?"

Bi Xiaoshi was taken aback: "You're not going? This is your first award."

Song Mo smiled and said, "Teacher Bi, I'd better focus on my second album."

Bi Xiaoshi smiled and shook his head: "Okay, I'll go then. After all, that area is still Hu Yanbin's territory. The matter of the 'Little Jay Chou of the North and South' has only just calmed down. It's better to give them less opportunity to create hype now."

"Then I'll trouble you to make the trip for me." Song Mo stood up and poured him a glass of water.

Bi Xiaoshi took the water glass, took a sip, stood up, and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, you can focus on writing songs."

After seeing Bi Xiaoshi off, Song Mo leaned against the doorframe, suddenly feeling a bit sentimental. Ultimately, it was because he was a newcomer from mainland China, and Ocean Butterflies Music wasn't powerful enough. If it were one of the five major international record companies, with the sales of his debut album, he would have been marketed as a mainland pop star long ago.

But every advantage has its disadvantages. If you really want that much creative freedom in the world's top five, that's wishful thinking. Which of these giants isn't extremely controlling?

He shook his head, returned to the table, and picked up his pen again.

Just then, Anming called, "Kangshifu and Haochidian's shoot is scheduled for two days from now, so get ready."

Song Mo was surprised that they had started moving forward so soon after he signed the agreement, and he complained, "I didn't expect them to be so efficient."

"Didn't they already release information about your new album? Of course, they have to finish filming before your new album is released," Anming explained with a smile.

Both Master Kong Iced Tea and Delicious Food's GG are very simple, but it still took several days to get everything done.

The scene of Master Kong's GG was filmed in the studio. The general plot was that Song Mo finished exercising, was sweating profusely, took a sip of iced tea, made an expression of enjoyment, and then smiled at the camera. It was such a simple scene, but it took more than a day to film. Song Mo was helpless.

The food was much simpler to order. The entire production team was very young, and they were all exceptionally polite to Song Mo. Some even claimed to be Song Mo's fans.

The whole thing was just GG taking a bite of a cookie in front of the camera and saying that classic line, "If it's delicious, eat more."

GG finished filming quickly in just one morning.

Song Mo originally thought he could have some free time, but unexpectedly, the filming of GG on Yi Chun's side was also put on the agenda.

Because Song Mo and Yichun have the highest level of cooperation, Yichun made quite a big fuss this time, holding a rather large signing and press conference in Guangzhou.

Fortunately, all the media present had received their travel expenses, so the event went smoothly. However, at the end, a large number of fans suddenly appeared and blocked Song Mo at the scene. It took him quite a while to finally get away.
