Huayu96: My Thirty Years of a Prodigal Son

The next morning, with nothing much going on at school, Qin Sheng led his buddies straight to Sony.

I found Chen Heping and told him what happened.

Given Qin Sheng's current position in the company, Chen Heping immediately set up a recording studio without saying a word.

Upon arriving at the recording studio, Qin Sheng took out the lyrics and music for "Friends" that he had written the night before and began practicing with the three of them.

Huang Xiaoming's skills are a bit lacking. After all, he was the founder of Nao Tai Tao in his previous life, so his musical foundation can be said to be completely non-existent.

However, Chen Kun's skills were surprisingly good.

Although Zu Feng is also just average, he is older and his voice is more weathered, which makes up for the lack of depth in the song.

After a whole day of this, the vocal recording was finally completed successfully.

The rest was up to the production team to arrange the music and do the post-production mixing according to the framework provided by Qin Sheng.

During the final listening test, when the four men's chorus rang out from the speakers, Huang Xiaoming and the other two exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

I was so nervous while singing that I didn't expect the actual result to be so good.

The key point is that this song is indeed well-written; it is simple yet reveals genuine emotion.

The deep affection between friends was actually captured in the song by these few amateurs.

Chen Heping was also listening from the side.

After listening, he couldn't help but applaud and praise.

"Ah Sheng, you really lived up to your reputation! You wrote so well! After listening to it, I wish I could go find my old friends from back then and have a good drink right now!"

However, after praising him, Chen Heping quickly regained his composure.

"Ah Sheng, how are you planning to release this song?"

"Am I waiting for your next album, or...?"

Qin Sheng smiled and said, "Brother Chen, this song doesn't quite fit my overall style, so I'm not planning to include it in my album."

Why don't you make a compilation album with songs from other singers in the company?

Chen Heping's eyes lit up immediately.

Given Qin Sheng's current fame, releasing a song like this is tantamount to openly letting the company take advantage of him.

With the name "Produced by Qin Sheng" attached, this compilation album is sure to sell well.

With a chuckle, Chen Heping patted Qin Sheng on the shoulder.

"Ah Sheng, thank you for your kindness. I appreciate it."

As for revenue sharing, it'll be the same as always. I also guarantee that this song will be included in a high-quality compilation album for you.

Qin Sheng nodded and then shook his head at the idea of ​​splitting the profits.

"Brother Chen, let's divide it into four portions this time, one portion for each of my three roommates."

Chen Heping glanced at the three young, nervous boys behind Qin Sheng.

I couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

As expected, Ah Sheng is too extraordinary and too mature.

These are the qualities and behaviors that an 18-year-old boy should have.

He smiled and nodded in agreement, then instructed his assistant to register the bank card numbers of the group.

With the matter essentially settled, Qin Sheng led Huang Xiaoming and the other two to their deaths.

"Brother Chen, let me go back and pack up, then we can get ready to head to Taiwan."

Chen Heping nodded.

"Okay, I'm available anytime. I'll wait for your message."

After leaving Sony, Qin Sheng felt much better seeing his three roommates, who were clearly much closer to him now.

Given the popularity of the song "Friends" in their previous life, the three of them, along with the profits from the commercial deals, could probably afford not only one apartment in Beijing, but several apartments and still have money to spare.

I've been pretty good to my roommates.

The four of them went back to school together.

However, Qin Sheng did not return to the dormitory with them.

He went to see his homeroom teacher, Cui Xinqin.

"Teacher Cui, what do you think about my request to take leave to promote my album in Taiwan and Hong Kong...?"

Cui Xinqin sat behind her desk, pushed up her glasses, and laughed, "Qin Sheng, it's only because you're smart that you applied to Beijing Film Academy."

The Beijing Film Academy doesn't manage its students that strictly.

If this were at the Central Academy of Drama, you definitely wouldn't be able to get this kind of leave.

Qin Sheng smiled.

Although it was phrased tactfully, it meant that they agreed.

"Thank you, Teacher Cui. When I come back, I'll bring you specialties from Taiwan and Hong Kong."

Cui Xinqin chuckled.

"Who wants your bribe? But Qin Sheng, before you leave, I have one request of you."

"Teacher Cui, please speak."

Cui Xinqin looked at Qin Sheng with a serious expression and said, "Qin Sheng, although you have achieved great success in music, you have applied to the Beijing Film Academy, which is a performance major."

I hope you'll prepare diligently for the final exams and not make things difficult for me.

Qin Sheng grinned and assured him, "Teacher Cui, don't worry. Don't forget that I'm a legitimate actor from the Water Margin production team. I won't lose my livelihood!"

"I promise I won't embarrass you or the Beijing Film Academy during the final exams!"

Upon hearing Qin Sheng mention his experience on the set of "Water Margin," Cui Xinqin's face visibly relaxed.

"Alright, I've approved your leave. Go ahead, and come back soon."

"Alright."

With Cui Xinqin's permission, Qin Sheng smiled and took his leave.

Back in the dormitory, Qin Sheng explained the situation to Huang Xiaoming and the others before saying goodbye.

Upon hearing this, the group immediately showed great reluctance to part with Qin Sheng.

Although it's only been one day since school started, the group has already developed a very deep affection for Qin Sheng.

Regardless of whether he's a celebrity or a roommate, just consider a successful older brother who's still willing to share his success with his underlings. Who wouldn't like that?

Zu Feng insisted on arranging another send-off ceremony for Qin Sheng that evening.

Qin Sheng smiled and declined.

"There's no need for a meal. I just ask that you don't ruin my bed after I'm gone."

I'll need to sleep in this bed again when I get back!

Hearing that Qin Sheng would be back, the three of them felt relieved. After smiling and making a few promises, they reluctantly saw Qin Sheng off.

After settling things at school, Qin Sheng went home.

Zeng Li and Yuan Quan returned leisurely as they packed their luggage.

It was Qin Sheng who notified them.

Zeng Li was very reluctant to see Qin Sheng leave for two months.

Unfortunately, the Central Academy of Drama is much stricter than the Beijing Film Academy, so she simply couldn't take such a long leave to be with Qin Sheng.

So that evening, Zeng Li served Qin Sheng with all her heart as a farewell gift.

He left the school early the next morning.

Yuan Quan, on the other hand, made an excuse that she was not feeling well and asked Zeng Li to help her take a morning off.

Actually, there was nothing wrong with me. It was just that Qin Sheng said he wanted to treat himself to a good meal before leaving to prevent himself from feeling empty.

Yuan Quan spat at Qin Sheng on the spot.

She and Qin Sheng are just bed partners now, and she won't pamper or spoil him like Zeng Li did.

However, the next morning, she obediently followed Qin Sheng's instructions and met him at the agreed hotel.

After Qin Sheng thoroughly satisfied Yuan Quan at the hotel, he finally felt relieved.

Now that everything is arranged, it's time to set off.

When he arrived at the company with his suitcase, Chen Heping and Sister Zhao were already waiting for him.

Since his successful collaboration with Sister Zhao in reconciling Zeng Li, Qin Sheng knew that Sister Zhao was a good agent who could meet his needs.

So he appointed Sister Zhao as his agent.

Sister Zhao will accompany me throughout this trip and help me with related miscellaneous matters.

We set off; the company had already taken care of all the formalities in advance.

The route starts from the Capital Airport, goes to the port city, and then enters Taiwan.

After eight or nine hours of transfers and travel, Qin Sheng and Sister Zhao finally landed in Taipei City.

After leaving the airport, sitting in the van sent by Sony Taiwan, Qin Sheng looked out the window at the flashing neon lights and bustling traffic, and couldn't help but feel excited.

There are quite a few girls I like on the island, and now I finally have the chance to come, see, and conquer them!
