Ultimately.
Su Yu sold the song "Chi Ling" and its background story to Chen Rong for two million yuan.
This included all copyrights except for the moral rights.
It was a decision he made on impulse.
Even he didn't know the reason.
Perhaps it was because of what he had just said, getting carried away in the moment, or perhaps he genuinely wanted to do something for the opera industry.
As Chen Rong left, she promised to use the background story to plan a perfect program and specifically mentioned that she would report his contribution to the Opera Association.
She also invited him to attend the Opera Association's grand ceremony, where they would thank him for his contribution to opera culture.
Su Yu agreed, but he didn't want to show his face, and Chen Rong didn't insist.
As Tang Feng left, he specifically shook Su Yu's hand. He didn't say anything, but the admiration in his eyes was unhidden.
"Su Yu, I'm increasingly impressed by you." Zhao Yuan looked at Su Yu, her eyes shining.
Su Yu didn't even care about ten million yuan for the sake of the opera industry; such generosity deserved her admiration.
Just now, she had personally had A Ru draft the contract.
Since Su Yu had this intention, she would naturally cooperate fully.
After all, although the Composers Association was in decline, it was still an official organization.
Gaining their friendship was a good thing.
As for how to explain it to her superiors, Zhao Yuan didn't even think about it.
"Ten million yuan..."
However, Su Yu was staring blankly ahead, muttering to himself.
"What?"
"Ten million yuan..."
"Uh..."
"Ms. Zhao, how many cups of bubble tea can ten million yuan buy..."
"It could probably last you a lifetime..." Zhao Yuan had black lines all over her forehead.
...
The beginning of the month.
Last month's salary had also arrived.
The company didn't take any commission from the "Confession Season" bonus; that belonged solely to Su Yu.
With the bonus, plus the copyright income from the songs "Later" and "What Can't Be Said,"
Su Yu's bank account balance had reached nearly three million yuan.
This was even though the two songs were released in the middle of the month, and many song copyright fees had not yet come in.
"Ms. Zhao, the song for Lin Yanyu has been sent to your email."
He had just packaged "Blue and White Porcelain" and sent it to Zhao Yuan's email.
"Alright. I haven't reported the five million she gave me to the company yet. Now that your share has increased, you can submit this business as well."
Zhao Yuan knew that this was the biggest order Su Yu had taken, so she had held off on reporting it, wanting Su Yu to get a larger share after his contract was revised.
"Thank you, Ms. Zhao." Su Yu felt a warmth in his heart.
Zhao Yuan was truly good to him, considering everything very thoughtfully.
After a brief chat.
Su Yu hung up the phone.
He opened the music charts.
"Later" had 5.3 million plays and 2.2 million downloads.
"What Can't Be Said" had 4.8 million plays and 1.9 million downloads.
Both songs had entered the top ten of the hot songs chart.
The new songs chart was ranked monthly. September had passed, so Su Yu's two songs had already exited the new songs charts of their respective genres.
And the new songs charts of all genres in October would be another battleground.
"Open system panel."
Host: Su Yu
Age: 18
Physique: 50 (Normal 50)
Reputation: 4.1 million
Skills: Professional Piano Performance, Beginner Composition, Beginner Lyricism.
System Warehouse: Song Elements "Late Marriage," "Love That Never Disappears."
[As the host's physique has recovered, the physique function has been automatically upgraded. When the host's physique decreases due to illness, the system will automatically consume a small amount of reputation to keep the host healthy.]
Unfinished Tasks:
[Task Content: Help Lin Yanyu write a song to win a competition.]
[Task Reward: Obtain a golden web novel manuscript.]
"Physique recovered?" Su Yu looked at the "Normal" status in the physique bar and was taken aback.
No wonder he hadn't experienced hypoglycemia recently.
He had thought it was because he was drinking more bubble tea.
Perhaps it was a gradual recovery that he hadn't even noticed.
That's not right...
"System, why is it that when my physique recovered, I still couldn't overpower Lin Yanyu at the hot pot restaurant?"
Su Yu was full of confusion.
[Because Lin Yanyu is a black belt in Taekwondo.]
The system's answer was simple and direct.
[It's also possible that the host's mind resisted, but the body was honest.]
"What do you mean 'possibly'? You're the system, you don't know the reason?"
Su Yu's mouth twitched.
What did "body was honest" mean?
Explain it clearly, don't slander me without cause.
[Human emotions are too complex. I'd rather remain a cold machine.]
"Alright, then can I still improve my physique? As my reputation accumulates, can I become stronger than normal people, eventually becoming an unparalleled master, then shatter the void and ascend to the immortal realm?"
Su Yu's imagination soared, picturing himself showing off while riding a flying sword.
[Please stop the fantasy. I am a machine and will not get worked up. I am afraid I cannot jolt you awake. This system is entertainment-focused and cannot allow the host to cultivate immortality, but it can allow the host to write cultivation web novels.]
"..."
Well, his cultivation dream was shattered as soon as it began.
However, it was not bad now. His physique had recovered, and his dignity as a man was restored!
Finally, he wouldn't be so weak that he gasped for breath after just a few steps.
Most importantly.
He would meet the little fairy in a month. Fortunately, she hadn't seen him looking so sickly, or it would have negatively impacted their first impression.
His health was restored, and he had money. After meeting the little fairy, they could discuss maybe moving in together...
Ahem... He didn't have any other intentions, just that if they lived together, they wouldn't have to chat online anymore; data fees were very expensive!
Yes, he also needed to find time to go home and persuade his parents, who insisted on working, to enjoy their retirement with peace of mind.
...
The month-long military training had concluded.
The freshmen, having shed a layer of skin, could finally study in air-conditioned classrooms.
The composition department only had one class in the morning.
Su Yu arrived early and sat in a corner of the classroom.
The first year focused on basics. He already had beginner composition skills from the system, so he didn't need to study.
He just didn't want to skip the first class.
As he waited idly for the class bell,
The noisy classroom suddenly fell silent.
Following everyone's gaze, he looked towards the classroom door.
When he clearly saw the figure standing at the door, he immediately buried his head and covered his face with his hands.
"Lin Yanyu?"
"Why are you, the campus beauty Lin, here in our composition department?"
"Is there something you need our help with?"
"..."
Upon seeing her, everyone swarmed forward.
This was the campus beauty Lin! They rarely saw her even in the vocal department, and today she was actually in the composition department.
However, to everyone's enthusiastic inquiries, Lin Yanyu just smiled politely and then her gaze swept across the classroom.
Because of her arrival, everyone in the classroom had left their seats.
Only Su Yu, in the corner, was still sitting there.
At this moment, he paradoxically became the most prominent person.
"Classmate, could you please move?" Lin Yanyu's gaze locked onto Su Yu in the corner, a radiant smile gracing her beautiful face.
Even though he was covering his face with his hands.
In Lin Yanyu's eyes, he was still as bright and outstanding as a firefly in the dark.
