Chapter 2 is here
Chen Feng engaged his mind, displaying reasoning abilities comparable to Conan, and fervently analyzed the situation, indeed making many accurate guesses by sheer coincidence
Despite the current flourishing entertainment industry, with stars as numerous as dogs and big names everywhere, it is of no use
He did not expect that after more than half a year, the first song that came to his mind was "Boring"
A few minutes passed before Chen Feng finally caught his breath
Will she regard me as a confidant
However, the songs he listened to, the novels he read, the movies he watched, and the games he played while dreaming of being a low-income household were all remarkably real and perfect.
A century of time can be summarized in a single sentence; the span is too vast, as if it has been artificially shrouded in a layer of mist, leaving no significant milestones available for wealth accumulation
It can only be attributed to the shallow relationship between the two; while Zhong Lei has soared to great heights, Chen Feng is unable even to ride on the coattails of her success to leave a name for himself
She is right beside her now
There are one or two who have not yet been born, and Chen Feng cannot approach their parents in advance.
Storing some historical materials does not take up much hard drive space, yet there is none available
The conversation in the morning was somewhat stiff, and Chen Feng smiled awkwardly, saying: "Good evening"
Chen Feng felt completely uncertain, as the historical materials he could find regarding the latter part were extremely brief and of no reference value, even less detailed than a middle school history textbook
Having made up his mind, Chen Feng began to contemplate how to cultivate a friendship with Zhong Lei
Pass! Pass! Not! Have!
There are several individuals who have long been famous, and Chen Feng knows these people, but they do not know him, and he has no opportunity to approach them
It was already around 7:30 when I got home. As I opened the door, I saw Zhong Lei coming down the stairs, and we ran into each other.
Conjecture
In his dreams, he devoted considerable thought to this aspect
In the afternoon, he went to the company to attend the monthly summary meeting, but he remained completely distracted throughout the meeting
The word count is too large; he mostly only vaguely remembers the blurred details, and he cannot recite them even if asked to do so
Lottery numbers, stock market trends, significant policy changes, relocation and resettlement plans
Zhong Lei's series of psychological activities is something Chen Feng could neither know nor imagine
He delineates the history of the dream world into two parts, using the timeline of his own life as the boundary
In the first fifty years of the twenty-first century, looking both domestically and internationally, actors, singers, composers, directors, painters, and writers are as numerous as the fish crossing the river, yet in the millennium of art history, only Zhong Lei and a few others can be ranked among the top one hundred
Therefore, considering various factors comprehensively, the simplest and most easily monetizable option is to copy songs
Could it be that she has already written it, but just hasn't published it
Writing a novel based on a vague plot
When Chen Feng first listened, it seemed that the song expressed the desolation and loneliness of a humble and ordinary person in real life. It resonated deeply with him
I do not know why it has been completely obscured by some scoundrel, not allowing anyone to see it
This means that from now on, she must learn to survive on her own
The detailed entertainment resources stand in stark contrast to the vague and obscure historical materials, which is simply astonishing
Could it be a bit excessive
What a greatness this is
As a "traveler through time and space", one must first understand the history of a world in order to comprehend it.
Chen Feng found this utterly perplexing in his dreams
Is the first song I must copy really by Zhong Lei
Chen Feng was relatively satisfied with this, as it was at least a rare occasion for both parties to have a serious conversation for the first time
This is Zhong Lei's early work
The scheme of clinging to powerful allies has just begun to take shape, only to suffer a disastrous setback, leaving Chen Feng somewhat disheartened
In any case, an entire year spent in dreams has been wasted, as I have been preoccupied with nothing but amusement. I have certainly encountered a considerable number of leisure and entertainment works such as television, movies, novels, games, and songs, which is hardly better than the utilization of waste
He did not aspire to be remembered in history; it would be sufficient for him if Zhong Lei could lend him a hand once she took off and had some leisure time
Chen Feng spoke to himself, feeling a sense of regret
How did I unknowingly copy her while copying the song
If one could empathize, would not the neighbors of Da Vinci, Picasso, or Du Fu have thought about the possibility of their names being remembered in history?
novel
He originally planned to stop overthinking and focus on his work, to regain a true sense of life, but as soon as he opened the door, he ran into Zhong Lei
This process is certainly difficult, but compared to an ordinary person with nothing, he at least has some vague ideas of completed songs in his mind
The scale of films and television dramas is too large, making monetization difficult
The conversation is even more awkward than it was in the morning
But not long after, he began to feel a bit frantic
Alas, there is no remedy for regret in this world; who would have thought that even being a slacker in dreams could lead to lifelong regrets
This is why Zhong Lei reacted so strongly, even sulking in the car.
Chen Feng does not believe that he has any talent for creativity, yet how is it that the entertainment-related content he imagines is so detailed
The same applies to the script
He is deliberately mocking himself for engaging in disreputable activities by coming home late and leaving early
He racked his brains to recall everything from the dream, but the more he thought about it, the more it felt off.
Chen Feng is very self-aware; at least for now, he is not cut out for this.
Acquaintances formed in humble beginnings yield the truest friendships
First, strengthen yourself, and then let the thighs of the fledglings come to embrace you actively
Returning to his room, he remained perplexed
If she hasn't written it yet, she will in the future. Does this song then represent her state of mind during a certain period to come?
The two individuals are neighbors living in the same apartment, sharing a common entrance, which can be rounded up to the status of cohabiting roommates. With the advantage of proximity, Chen Feng believes that his chances are quite significant
The creative level of this song is not high; its impact relies entirely on the singer's performance.
The works experienced in dreams are indeed one's own advantages
Chen Feng finds it difficult to remain calm
It is somewhat unreasonable to expect him to actively approach someone of the opposite sex, even if the intention is not to pursue a romantic interest.
Even if he is capable of doing it, by the time these individuals achieve success, Chen Feng himself may be nearing his seventies or eighties
It is a pity that Chen Feng does not come from an artistic background and has never studied music before
Chen Feng felt a sense of bitterness in his heart, but he decided to let it go. When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten out, and he will adapt to the situation when the time comes
In the dreams, the life story of Zhong Lei does not mention Chen Feng, who was once her apartment manager and neighbor
But one must at least give it a try
In the first half, the historical aspect, the dream world and the real world are completely overlapping, identical to each other
It seems that something is not right, but he also says he cannot quite articulate it
No! Absolutely none!
To be honest, she should hate me, but why do you always treat me with such hostility?
Chen Feng also could not sleep, jumping up from the bed and opening the computer to type vigorously.
On the other side, after leaving, Zhong Lei took a taxi to a high-end bar located in the central district of Hanzhou City
His mind was in a complete mess, which affected Chen Feng's state for the entire day
He cannot understand
Even though Chen Feng's expression was very serious, she felt as if he had seen through her work, and his smile carried a sense of sarcasm and mockery
Another benefit of copying songs that should not be overlooked
Then she definitely hasn't written this song yet
theoretical knowledge
Stop joking, writing so many words is exhausting, and in this current time period, it may not even become popular. The input-output ratio is too low
The beginning is a dream, and the content relies entirely on imagination, which is naturally how it will be
She rolled her eyes fiercely again, even pouting her lips, and walked away, lost in her own thoughts
So I will start writing now, and I will show it to her in a few days
Then let's just forget it
It is a mistake to only think about forcibly clinging to others for support; one must explore and develop one's own strengths
Three hundred years, neither Chen Feng nor the painter himself can afford to wait.
As for game development, it is even more absurd; the investment amount is not small, and with the current level of technology, it is impossible to develop those high-end games he once played.
She does not seem to have a personality that enjoys frequenting bars, so based on her resume, is she a resident singer at a bar
Moreover, she seems to have just moved in and should have only recently dropped out of school
At present, everyone is still a stranger, and it is only through getting closer that it becomes so difficult
It is often said that there is only a fine line between genius and madness. Given that Zhong Lei has achieved such accomplishments, it is perhaps not too surprising that she possesses some idiosyncratic traits in her personality
In light of this, he shrugged his shoulders and said, let it be as it may, we will consider it further.
Moreover, Chen Feng had good luck today; no troublesome matters arose, and he only dealt with a few minor issues.
Therefore, after much consideration, the only person who truly possesses practical value is indeed Zhong Lei
Chen Feng only regrets why he did not strive a little harder in the past, seriously copying something back; if he had, he would have already been well-prepared by now, and would not have ended up in this situation
Zhong Lei was momentarily taken aback, and then suddenly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her expression turned icy. She said stiffly, "It has nothing to do with you."
Suddenly greeted by him, Zhong Lei seemed a bit unaccustomed and turned to glance at him
Taking the crucial first step, one must strike while the iron is hot. Chen Feng then asked, "By the way, where are you headed so late at night?"
After singing songs at the bar for a period of time, she became weary of life, which is why she wrote this piece titled "Boredom" set against the backdrop of a bar
On this night, Chen Feng tossed and turned, finding it difficult to fall asleep
Yet she has left her name in the well-documented annals of the dream world, and has been renowned in the fields of art and entertainment for a millennium
Both the lyrics and melody are quite naive, yet they are profoundly moving when expressed through her wonderful vocal timbre and perfect emotional outburst in singing
Oh. Good evening
Since being straightforward and ingratiating is ineffective, let us adopt a different approach to achieve our goals indirectly
Furthermore, with my poor writing skills, even I find it hard to look at.
She does not like this job at all
He is one of the top one hundred in the millennium of art history
Fortunately, the duties of the apartment manager are quite simple and mechanical, lacking any technical complexity, allowing one to get by with minimal effort
Ten minutes later, he stared at the seven or eight lines of lyrics in front of him, frozen.
After all, Zhong Lei lives upstairs
But is it correct to say that the latter half of the next thousand years from now will occur in the future's "history"
Chen Feng used to be unaware and did not like to interact with strangers
The air suddenly fell silent for ten seconds
But now that there has been this great discovery, how could he not be moved by some worldly desires
Due to her dropping out of school, she has had a falling out with her family
If I write it out and sing it to her, it should give her a feeling of regret for not having met me sooner
He decided to forcibly plagiarize a song
However, as for painters, they all understand that they remain obscure while alive, only to be increasingly sought after after their death
There are still a few artists who are currently down on their luck and quite easy to approach
Zhong Lei's tone is flat, devoid of any emotional fluctuations, resembling that of a robot
When the time comes, she sings my song and becomes famous for it. Should she be grateful to me or should she hate me instead
Thus, when Chen Feng asked her where she was going just now, he actually touched upon the pain within her heart
Zhong Lei is a person with a very peculiar temperament, unpredictable in emotions, even more reclusive than oneself, and extremely difficult to deal with, giving one the impression of a cow trying to gnaw on a pumpkin, finding no way to start.
But if you became like-minded comrades, you wouldn't be so ruthless, would you
After the company meeting, Chen Feng had a simple meal outside and then returned home
Song title: "Boring"
Now she goes out at night and returns in the morning
As a student of music and the arts from an academic background, she is quite proud and considers the job of a bar singer to be very lowly, viewing it as a disgrace. However, life must go on, and even though she feels a sense of aversion, she has to accept it, pinching her nose in resignation
That is not just an ordinary thick thigh; that is Beethoven living in the present age
Zhong Lei is now twenty-one years old, still an unemployed drifter who has just dropped out of university, and will only be able to accumulate experience and make significant progress in four years
She had applied a light makeup on her face, but it is unclear what she intends to do outside
He conceived many ways to initiate a conversation in his mind
Without even mentioning becoming boyfriend and girlfriend, as long as there is a somewhat similar friendship, there will surely come a time in the future when she will be of use
Even though he has listened to those songs many times, he can now only barely recall some of the melodies, humming a few disconnected lines, and still off-key
This "history" is false, built upon dreams and fantasies rooted in one's own worldview
Thus, she found a job as a resident singer at a bar
Chen Feng is also an ordinary person; after all, he does not possess or achieve more sophisticated and advanced high-tech ideas. However, to miss out on the shortcut to success of relying on powerful connections would be simply foolish
Due to his relatively unique family background, he has been quite reclusive since childhood, not very skilled in socializing, and has very few genuine friends.
Wait a moment
Upon waking, he contemplated that dreams are fundamentally constructed upon one's own worldview, thus the first half of the dream must inevitably overlap with actual history
He decided to write down the most essential and memorable lyrics from the song that resonated with him the most, humming it twice first to avoid forgetting it later
So what should I copy
After careful consideration, he slowly came up with a new idea
For example, the artistic achievements of this individual, known to Chen Feng, were only recognized by the world three hundred years after his death
Chen Feng stood frozen in place
Chen Feng formulated a plan, first delving into his memories to recall the songs that left the deepest impression on him, while simultaneously studying basic music theory, attempting to restore the songs as closely as possible using the simplest melodies.
Various technologies
She still looks a bit dazed, presumably having slept the entire day.
He began to actively believe that everything in his dreams was real
After waking up and organizing his thoughts, he pondered for a long time and arrived at a disheartening conclusion
Is it not wonderful that we are neighbors living in the same building, able to learn and progress together?
Since history is merely a product of one's imagination, his grand dreams of amassing wealth through prophetic foresight have thus been shattered
Chen Feng did not know her at all before, had no idea what she looked like, and was completely unaware of her background, making it impossible for him to have imagined this person.
