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

Upon seeing the two, Song Mo recognized them immediately: Legal Expert and Slip-of-the-Mouth Guy, the Yu Quan duo.

This group is currently the most popular group in the mainland music scene, without a doubt.

Last year's "Cold to the End" and this year's "Passion" have both sold millions of copies. It can be said that they are the only mainland singers of this era who can somewhat rival Jay Chou, Wang Yibo, Tao Lin, and Lin Huiyin.

Guo Liang had already started working with them last year on "Cold to the End," so it's not surprising that they ran into each other again.

Chen Yufan noticed him first, paused, took off his sunglasses, and looked him up and down.

"You're that newcomer at Ocean Butterflies?" His tone carried a hint of arrogance.

Song Mo nodded and greeted them with a smile: "Brother Yu Fan, Brother Hai Quan, hello, I'm Song Mo."

While there's no need to fawn over two veteran musicians, one should still show them the proper courtesy.

Hu Haiquan also looked over, tucked the manuscript paper under his arm, smiled, and shook hands with him: "Oh, you're Song Mo? Teacher Guo mentioned you to us yesterday."

These past few days, Guo Liang has been putting the finishing touches on their album, so the two of them know about Guo Liang's next work arrangements.

To be honest, the two were quite surprised when they first heard the news. Given Guo Liang's current status, it's unusual for him to be willing to produce an album for a new singer.

"You're calling me a troublemaker?" Song Mo replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yufan looked at Song Mo with surprise, as Song Mo was a rather arrogant person to begin with.

Now that the Yu Quan duo is famous all over the country, his arrogance has only grown stronger.

I thought that a newcomer who could get Guo Liang to produce an album must be no pushover, but now it seems they're not my type at all.

Therefore, he simply stopped speaking. Hu Haiquan, on the other hand, was quite enthusiastic and pulled Song Mo aside, saying, "Let me tell you, you have to be mentally prepared to work with Teacher Guo. He's a very strict person. Don't let him scold you until you cry."

"It's okay," Song Mo said. "I'm thick-skinned."

At this moment, Chen Yufan glanced at his watch and said to Hu Haiquan, "Let's go, they're still waiting over there."

Hu Haiquan nodded, then said to Song Mo, "Xiao Song, when the album comes out, send us a copy."

"Definitely." Song Mo nodded.

Hu Haiquan smiled and nodded, then walked away with Chen Yufan.

Song Mo stood there, watching the two figures disappear through the door, feeling a pang of emotion.

The duo Yu Quan is incredibly popular right now, extremely popular.

But the two people's personalities are really completely different.

Just as he was feeling sentimental, Bi Xiaoshi came out and said, "Xiao Song, I've already talked to Teacher Guo. You guys can talk about the album first. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

Song Mo nodded upon hearing this, then went to the door and knocked.

A voice quickly came from inside, "Come in."

Song Mo pushed open the door and entered. He saw a person wearing a dark blue hoodie, with long hair and a stubble beard. He looked unkempt, but his eyes were very focused.

"Teacher Guo?" Song Mo called out.

Guo Liang raised his head, glanced at him, his gaze moving from top to bottom and then from bottom to top, finally settling on his face for two seconds.

"Song Mo? You look better than I imagined." He looked at Song Mo, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face.

Of the singers he has collaborated with in recent years, only Faye Wong has a decent image. The others, like Yu Quan and Sun Nan, are all just a bunch of weirdos.

As a top-notch producer, he certainly understands the importance of a singer's personal image to an album.

After seeing Song Mo's appearance, he couldn't help but sigh that just based on that face, he could have tens of thousands more albums.

"It's me." Song Mo walked over and extended his hand. "Hello, Teacher Guo. Teacher Bi mentioned you to me, saying that you are a master of music arrangement and that I should learn more from you."

Guo Liang shook his hand, but didn't pick up on that topic. Instead, he said, "Sit down, don't be shy. We're here to talk about your album. Since I've agreed to produce it for you, we should strive to make it the best it can be."

Song Mo sat down on the chair next to him and looked at him intently.

Guo Liang turned around, took out a few sheets of paper from the drawer under the table, flipped through them, and placed them on the table.

He leaned back in his chair and looked at Song Mo: "Old Bi told me that he had discovered a musical genius."

Guo Liang spoke up, his tone unhurried, "I didn't believe it at first. These days, everyone claims to be a genius, but very few can actually produce anything."

He paused, then pointed to the manuscript on the table: "But those demos of yours, to be honest, I was shocked when I listened to them."

Song Mo smiled but didn't say anything.

He looked at Song Mo, his tone becoming serious: "I've worked with Faye Wong, Nayoung, and Sun Nan, and I've also produced several albums with Yu Quan. These people have all struggled in the industry for many years before finding their own path. But you're different; it seems like you knew what you wanted from the very beginning."

Song Mo knew exactly what he wanted, after all, he had the latest trends in the Chinese music scene and so many excellent songs stored in his head.

However, he didn't show it on his face, but just chuckled and said, "Teacher Guo, you flatter me. I was just lucky."

Guo Liang waved his hand: "I've seen plenty of lucky people, but very few can actually write something like this."

He stood up, walked to the whiteboard, picked up a marker, and said, "Alright, enough chit-chat, let's get down to business."

He wrote the four words "Joyful Worship" and turned around.

"I really feel this song." He paused, then continued, "The retro disco beat, combined with the electronic sound base, and the alternation of hip-hop rap sections and pop melodies, this style is rare in the Chinese music scene, but it really appeals to young people. Once it's released, it will spread very widely."

Song Mo nodded; of course he knew this song would be a hit.

"However," Guo Liang changed the subject, "there's a problem with this song."

"Please speak."

"This is a duet," Guo Liang said, looking at him. "Who are you planning to sing the female part with?"

Song Mo did not hesitate to answer Guo Liang's question.

He went straight to the point: "I plan to collaborate with Angela Chang from Linfair Records. Her voice is very clear, and her high notes are penetrating, which will match the electronic beat of this song very well."

"Angela Chang?" Guo Liang frowned. "From Taiwan's Forward Music Group? Never heard of her."

He returned to his seat, picked up the phone on the table, flipped through his contacts, and then put it down again.

"I'll talk to Bi Xiaoshi and have him contact Fu Mao," Guo Liang said slowly. "But are you sure she's suitable? The female part of this song has a simple melody, but a wide vocal range, reaching high C in the chorus. Are you sure she can handle it?"

Song Mo nodded. No one was better than Angela Chang, after all, she was one of the original singers.

Without Angela Chang's contribution, this song would be much less captivating.

Her voice is so distinctive, with a clear, metallic quality that is unique in the Chinese music scene.
