"You think I don't know what's on your mind? After watching it, you definitely wouldn't feel like doing anything else. Listen to me, focus on learning Cantonese for now. You'll naturally get to watch it when it's time," he said.

Indeed, this was true based on his understanding of Xu Qingqiu. If she saw the new song, needless to say, she wouldn't be practicing day and night, but she would fiddle with it whenever she had the chance. It would be perfectly normal for her to even feel the urge to run to the recording studio to sing a few lines. In that case, how could she possibly have the mind for anything else? It's like preparing a table full of delicious food and letting Yiyi just smell it, then locking her in a room to watch TV—do you think a foodie like her could stand that? Or if your child is doing homework and you're playing games right next to them, your child wouldn't be able to concentrate either.

It was the same principle. So, to keep her from getting distracted, Chu Tian had to steel himself and deny Xu Qingqiu's request, even with her looking at him with teary eyes.

"Alright, go on with your tasks. I've got to write a song for our new coworker," he said.

Upon hearing that he was about to work, Xu Qingqiu immediately reined in her emotions.

Being playful was one thing, but work was work.

"Then you go ahead; I'm off to work out," she said.

This workout was not the same as before. Previously, it was to maintain her figure. She no longer needed that with Chu Tian around, but she still needed to do some stretches, as a long time without practice can stiffen the body.

So Xu Qingqiu picked it up again.

After she left, Chu Tian sat alone at the desk he had specially prepared in the corner and began to ponder.

What kind of song should he write for Li Guang? He actually had a simple idea while chatting with Sister Hua earlier. If he simply followed the typical route for a singer—recording songs, releasing them, promoting them, and appearing on shows to gain exposure—it wouldn't be bad. After all, that's the normal path. But it would be too slow to show results. More importantly, that approach would be a pure competition of song quality, lacking any real strategy. If he wanted to see quick results, he definitely needed to create some buzz. But how to do that was the question. What song could achieve such instant success? Crucially, it also had to suit Li Guang's abilities. This made it seem like there was a ready-made path.

Slowly, Chu Tian wrote down four characters on the paper—"Dalabengba"!

When this song first came out in another world, many people hadn't heard of it. But on one website, specifically within the community of B-Station, it exploded in popularity. In just a short time, the song shot up the popular music charts and even made its mark in B-Station's history. In just over ten days, it became a legendary hit on B-Station, ranking thirteenth.

It could be said that this song instantly ignited a certain community upon its release. Soon after, it broke out of its niche and swept across the internet. Especially the version sung by Zhou Shen, where one person took on five roles, left all listeners incredibly shocked. Countless people clutched their heads, faces full of question marks, exclaiming, "Is that seriously one person?!"

Yes, it was that incredible—one person singing a fast-paced song in five different voices. The difficulty and vocal control required were simply breathtaking. This song might not have been Zhou Shen's breakout hit, nor the root cause of his surge to fame, but the capability it displayed made everyone see his limitless potential.

Now, Chu Tian chose "Dalabengba" with that thought in mind.

A viral ACG hit song + one person performing five roles with an almost inhuman voice.

These two selling points were enough for Li Guang to attract a massive amount of attention and web traffic in a short time. If they seized this opportunity, with just a little push from operations, they could propel him onto a larger online platform and into a bigger traffic pool. Then, Li Guang's name would surely enter the public's view quickly.

By then, Chu Tian would just need to promptly release a few more songs suitable for Li Guang to solidify his popularity. If everything went smoothly with this plan, Li Guang would essentially be able to establish himself in the industry. From there, whether he continued to release songs or appeared on shows to increase visibility—it would all naturally fall into place. He would have successfully transformed from an amateur into a bona fide celebrity artist.

As long as he avoided any major scandals or failures, and continued to learn and work hard, his ascent up the ladder would be countless times faster than others.

Thinking about this, Chu Tian wrote two more characters under the song title, "B-site." But he quickly crossed it out and changed it to "A-site."

There was no helping it. In his previous life, there had also been an A-site, one that existed even before B-site. How to describe it... the history and feuds between them were too complex. Those interested could look it up themselves; he wouldn't elaborate here. In his previous life, there were two such ACG websites in total, but ultimately, they could be considered to have originated from the same source.

But in this world, there was only one.

Its full name was the "ACG Exchange Video Website," slightly different from the one in the other world, but its content and domain were the same. It was also abbreviated as A-site. The similarities and differences ultimately boiled down to these three elements of ACG: A for Animation, C for Comics, and G for Games. These three domains together formed the ACG field, the foundation of what was commonly known as the "2D world" or ACG world.

After writing "A-site", Chu Tian then wrote "short-form video."

And at the very bottom, after some thought, he wrote down two more names:

"Big Fish," "Whale on the Island."

Honestly, he really loved both songs. He was even reluctant to bring out "Whale on the Island" because, personally, he adored it too much. But if this world had "Big Fish" yet lacked "Whale," wouldn't Big Fish be too lonely?

So, steeling himself, he decided to part with it.

Whether these songs could be used would depend on whether Li Guang was up to the task.

Though he said he was writing songs, what Chu Tian actually jotted down were just a few names. As for the songs? With ready-made ones from the system, did he need to write them himself?

Chu Tian flipped his wrist, and a USB drive appeared in his hand.

With his left hand, he casually picked up the paper he'd just written on from the table, got up, and strolled outside.

Now that the direction was set, the next step depended on Li Guang.

When Chu Tian went to see the newcomers, a group of them were in a meeting room attending a class. The others were diligently listening to the instructor, while Sun Jian alone sat at the very back, head hanging, looking like a street loafer.

"Sorry to interrupt. Li Guang, could you come out for a moment? I need to discuss something with you."

During a break in the lecture, Chu Tian knocked on the door, apologized for the interruption, and called Li Guang out.

When they heard Chu Tian's voice, everyone else turned their attention to him. After all, as the music director, although he looked rather young, his status was high.

Music... music director... Isn't the music director in charge of their songs?

Thus, it was hard for Chu Tian not to attract attention.

However, they were still in class. Since everyone knew Li Guang had just arrived, they assumed it was probably for a test or some administrative procedures. They had gone through similar things when they first arrived, so they didn't give it much thought.

But Sun Jian was different. Despite his slouching, carefree appearance, he had sharp eyes. He immediately spotted the paper Chu Tian was holding.

That doesn't look like a contract or any agreement... Could it be a song sheet?

Unfortunately, Chu Tian didn't give him a chance for a closer look, calling Li Guang out and leaving quickly.

"Teacher Chu, you were looking for me?"

"Yes. I have a song ready for you. It needs to be released in the next couple of days. Come with me to familiarize yourself with it. You'll need to practice intensively, and then we'll record it."

"Ah? So soon?!!"

Li Guang's eyes nearly popped out. He knew that several of the seniors who had arrived before him had been here for months without a single song. He'd been somewhat worried after hearing that. How could he be making his debut so soon?!

He was completely unprepared; the sudden news left him utterly stunned from head to toe.

"Yes, it's a rare opportunity. Your situation is a bit special, and you're not on the same path as them, so the timeline is tight."

It wasn't actually that Chu Tian was biased or giving Li Guang special treatment because he had personally recruited him. It was purely because the Star City Anime Festival, the country's largest annual anime convention, was in half a month. And right now, due to the build-up for the Anime Festival, traffic on A-site was at its peak.

If he launched this song by seizing this opportunity, it might just become an instant hit.
