You were supposed to have a fake marriage with the diva, so how did you become her father?

Chapter 14 Producer "Tomorrow"

After browsing through the lyrics of "The First Dream," Shen Yuege noticed that the producer named "Tomorrow" had submitted a piece to her that included arrangement, instruments, and harmonies.

It's safe to say that if Shen Yuege were to buy the song, she could even record it on the spot.

Shen Yuege checked the name of the producer who submitted the work; it was a netizen with the username "Tomorrow".

She immediately sent a message to the other party:

"Hi, are you there? Can you sing this song for me? Name your price, and if the price is right, we can sign a contract right now."

"Please send me your contact information, or you can write it down: 138********."

"Hello, please reply to this message after you receive it. I'm online at any time."

Shen Yuege sent messages one after another, her tone changing from urgent to pleading.

She was afraid that the producer named "Tomorrow" wouldn't see it, or that other singers would beat her to it.

At the same time, Lu Ran was browsing entertainment news online when his phone suddenly vibrated. It was a notification from the Wanwan Jingting APP in the background. Someone had replied to his message, and it was a continuous sound. Judging from the frequency, the other party was very anxious.

The voice was still the notification tone that Lu Ran was particularly concerned about. In Wanwan Jingting, Lu Ran only paid special attention to one person—Shen Yuege.

Lu Ran smiled. It seemed that Shen Yuege had heard her submission, "The First Dream." If that was the case, her predicament was about to be resolved.

Others may not know, but Lu Ran is very clear that this song was the class song of many post-90s classes in his previous life, and its status was second only to "Invisible Wings".

It is something that the music scene in this world cannot compare to.

Lu Ran slowly opened the app.

"really..."

Shen Yuege left a string of messages, even sending her personal phone number.

Lu Ran could guess that she looked anxious and pitiful.

"Ugh, senior, where were you all this time? I sent you my work two weeks ago, and you're only seeing it now. Luckily, I'm here." Lu Ran thought to herself, "You'll have to give me extra money once this problem is resolved."

He pondered for a moment before replying in what he considered a somewhat handsome and aloof tone.

"Yes. Have you watched the song?"

Almost the instant Lu Ran sent the message, the other party replied instantly.

"I've seen it, and I love it! The lyrics and melody are both top-notch! Do you own the copyright to this song? I'd like to buy it as the title track for my album; you can set the price!"

Seeing Shen Yuege's anxious look, Lu Ran's mischievous nature led him to decide to tease her.

"Oh? I was actually planning to let you sing the song, but there's been a lot of news about you online these past few days, all about you being arrogant and plagiarizing. Maybe... I should reconsider?"

Shen Yuege was so angry when she saw this reply that she wanted to curse.

Why is this person like this? They really know how to bring up the most sensitive topics.

However, she was currently in a situation where she needed someone's help, so she could only suppress her emotions and patiently explain:

"The recent events are all malicious slander! As a music producer of your caliber, you should be able to see that Mr. Huang Wenshan's song is not plagiarized at all. Please trust my professional abilities and my attitude towards music!"

"I really need this song. My childhood dream has been to sing, and 'The First Dream' is practically tailor-made for me. Please, you must let me sing this song. The price is negotiable."

Seeing Shen Yuege's almost humble reply, Lu Ran felt a bit of mischievous pleasure, and even a little sorry for her.

Knowing when to stop, Lu Ran didn't waste any more words.

"Alright, since you're so sincere and have good taste, you can sing this song."

Upon seeing the message, Shen Yuege's earlier dejection and grievance vanished, replaced by excitement that nearly made her jump for joy. She quickly replied, "That's wonderful! Thank you so much! What about the cost?"

Lu Ran thought about it. With his mediocre skills, he had no idea about market prices. Even if he asked for a million or two, it wouldn't be much compared to ten million. But giving it away for free was out of the question.

Since Shen Yuege likes this song so much, let's divide it up and see how much potential "The First Dream" can unleash under her management.

It would be even better if I could earn some pocket money.

"Forget about the money," Lu Ran typed.

Shen Yuege on the other end was stunned! Free? Was the other person playing a trick on her? Or was it...?

Before Shen Yuege could even start to think, the next message from "Tomorrow" arrived.

"I want 30% of all future revenue from this song, including but not limited to digital albums, commercial licensing, and karaoke streaming."

A 30% revenue share is already considered the highest in the industry.

Generally, only top-tier producers who are extremely confident in their work will choose a revenue-sharing model, and such a high one at that.

But Shen Yuege hardly hesitated at all!

She was very confident in the song "The First Dream," even more so than Lu Ran.

In her opinion, this song is enough to shock the entire Chinese music scene, enough to turn around her collapsing reputation, and even boost her popularity.

A mere 30% return is too good to pass up for her!

"No problem! I accept 30%. I'll have my agent prepare the electronic contract and send it to you in a bit!" Shen Yuege typed quickly in reply, afraid that the other party would change their mind if she was even a second too slow.

"Deal. The demo and the complete sheet music have been sent to you. If you're in the recording studio, you can start recording now. We look forward to your finished product," 'Tomorrow' replied, having even agreed to let Shen Yuege record the song first before the contract was signed.

It was clear that he was extremely aware of his situation.

"Thank you! Thank you so much! I will definitely sing it well and will not let it down!" Shen Yuege expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

After ending her conversation with "Tomorrow", Shen Yuege breathed a sigh of relief.

Only now did she believe it was real. She really received a song on the music platform, and it was such a top-quality work, such a complete one. The other party was also so easy to talk to, agreeing to it without ever meeting her. This... seemed too coincidental!

Once Shen Yuege calmed down, she suddenly realized that this incident seemed to be more than just a coincidence.

She recalled that it was Lu Ran who first reminded her to pay attention to music platforms and even mentioned collecting songs.

Could it be... that her contract husband, the junior who's lying down, is "Tomorrow"?

Shen Yuege shook her head, rejecting her absurd idea.

If Lu Ran is really that talented, why is he content to just lie down and do nothing?
