Lin Muxi sent that message, and their manager, Ye Tongtong, made an announcement in the group chat.
"We're going to the recording studio tomorrow."
She was also holding a breath of anticipation.
After she sent her message, Yang Weiyang immediately asked with a bit of excitement.
"Really? Have you heard the song? Are you sure this song is great?"
Ye Tongtong gave a confident answer without hesitation.
"Of course, I can guarantee that this is absolutely a super beautiful and good song. This song is definitely beyond your imagination. I think it's on par with 'Breaking the Fog,' and it will definitely satisfy everyone!"
A song as good as "Breaking the Fog"?
Ye Tongtong had raised everyone's expectations.
Since everyone was currently overseas, Ye Tongtong arranged recording studios for them, planning to finish the recording overseas first, releasing the audio before the music video.
Lin Muxi and Yang Weiyang went directly to the recording studio by car!
...
Inside the recording studio.
Ye Tongtong introduced them.
"We received a submission, which is why we decided to choose this song."
"Originally, we had already made arrangements and invited the famous domestic composer Han Jiu to write a new song, 'Holy Light Continent,' for you as a follow-up to 'Breaking the Fog.' However, after receiving this song from the author of 'Red Butterfly,' we immediately overturned our previous plan and made this new song, 'Phoenix Soars Through the Nine Heavens,' our second single!"
Yang Weiyang was shocked.
"Wow! 'Holy Light Continent'? Han Jiu?"
"He's very famous. If it weren't for 'Phoenix Soars Through the Nine Heavens' from the author of 'Red Butterfly,' he would have written it for the second single, right?"
In Lin Muxi's mind, the system playfully bantered with her.
[Fortunately, you didn't choose Han Jiu. The song he intended to give you wasn't actually written by him, but was a discarded song he plagiarized from Europe or America. If you had used that song, you would have suffered a great loss.]
[However, since I saw that host you intended to write songs yourself, I didn't remind you.]
Lin Muxi subtly looked at her manager, Ye Tongtong.
"So, you didn't choose Han Jiu?"
Ye Tongtong nodded.
"Of course. Although he is a famous composer, there is still a huge gap compared to a truly legendary composer."
"To be honest, she disappeared for a full five years, so I was also surprised when she said she wanted to write a song for you. However, the email was indeed sent from her official email address, and this song is truly full of talent. I believe that in this world, no one else could have written it besides her."
"So, the moment we saw this song, we immediately made up our minds. We had to make her song your second single."
In this world, geniuses are always rare.
Ye Tongtong couldn't help but sigh.
"I can swear with my life that your second single will definitely be another global hit!"
"Lu Keke and the others dared to provoke you, they are simply asking for humiliation!"
However, Ye Tongtong changed the subject.
"Their actions also have benefits. At least we saved a lot on promotion fees. They essentially helped us promote for free. My friends in the industry say that their single can be described as burning their bridges behind them, spending tens of millions..."
"And we gave up Han Jiu's 'Holy Light Continent,' so they bought 'Holy Light Continent' as their main single."
"This round can be considered a true head-on confrontation."
They bought "Holy Light Continent"?
Yang Weiyang's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but mutter.
"They really are copycats... Hmph, hmph, hehe, may the copycats die a terrible death!"
Just then, the recording engineer also arrived.
The four girls quickly divided their parts.
Yang Weiyang was challenging rap this time, and she was a bit nervous, failing to get it right after several takes, stuttering.
Lin Muxi taught her sentence by sentence. With Lin Muxi as her demonstration, she learned quickly and was astonished.
"Xiao Ci, you can rap?"
"Aren't you the lead singer?"
Lin Muxi nodded, then she smiled and said.
"Yes, I can rap. It's about technique. As long as you can grasp the rhythm, it's not something that's difficult."
Yang Weiyang was discouraged.
"Wuwuwu, as expected of Xiao Ci, she can do everything perfectly."
She sighed.
"Too amazing!"
The song was written to perfectly fit each person's characteristics.
The vocal timbre and melody felt tailor-made.
Aurora's high notes, Han Jiuzhen's stability, and Lin Muxi's harmony sections with them were all arranged perfectly.
"As the girls are reborn from the ashes in anger, we possess the brilliant twilight glow of the entire world."
"The world doesn't believe in tears; we are phoenixes, we are the steel strength that dominates everything."
The girls become the core of the world.
This is what a girl group should be.
Compared to creating a beautiful and soft dream, only girls know best what kind of powerful force that can change the world girls should possess.
Everyone can become a god in their own world.
Everyone can be their own protagonist, holding the throat of destiny.
Yang Weiyang quickly practiced tongue-rolling and began to get into the groove.
"We climb, we ascend."
"We unite, we possess the strongest heart. Let the storms of fate embrace us tightly. No matter what, we will never admit defeat; believe in yourselves. When we cross the thorny path, when we are reborn from the fiery abyss, we will make the world tremble!"
This rap section was absolutely amazing. She delivered it in one breath.
Until the recording was finished and the recording engineer played it back for her, the silly and honest Yang Weiyang didn't realize that she could actually rap it so perfectly.
"Did I cheat?"
Lin Muxi chuckled.
"You've grown!"
Everyone grew explosively by following her.
Yang Weiyang excitedly hugged her again.
"Ahhh, I didn't hold you back this time, Xiao Ci!"
The second single is called "Phoenix Soars Through the Nine Heavens."
A phoenix, after all, must soar through the nine heavens.
Compared to the first single, "Breaking the Fog," which symbolized the girls breaking through the mist, the second single, "Phoenix Soars Through the Nine Heavens," appeared more impactful, with a more domineering style. After they finished recording, the manager told them.
"For our new single's music video, we have prepared eight sets of outfits for you. They represent the strength of women in different professions. Of course, the most unique aspect is that we found the most outstanding stylist, Zi Mu, to design a one-of-a-kind phoenix totem for you. This phoenix totem, in my opinion, is a marvel of craftsmanship!"
The manager exclaimed.
"Your second single truly has the perfect timing, location, and people."
"The author of 'Red Butterfly,' stylist Zi Mu... I can't imagine whose work could be more dedicated than this single of yours!"
Now, all that's left is to anticipate the simultaneous release of their song with Lu Keke's group and a head-on competition for the outcome!
The system prompted Lin Muxi.
"This mission can earn a hundred points!"
Lin Muxi certainly knew that. But what was on her mind were the five hundred points for Zhou Yuan'an's father.
Moreover, Zhou Yuan'an was her classmate. Since she knew his father was not dead and knew his whereabouts, she couldn't just let him continue to suffer in the research institute day and night without resolving the matter.
"After we finish recording the song, I need to find an opportunity to go there."
"I've figured out how to save Zhou Yuan'an's father."
The system was a little curious.
"How will you save him? Ask Ling Qianhe for help?"
"Or what?"
Lin Muxi actually provided a feasible plan.
"I checked the website. Eisenkburg Castle, where Zhou Yuan'an's father, Zhou Di, is held captive, is undergoing repairs to its water pipes."
"And the company contracted for this water pipe repair is a very mysterious overseas enterprise. I searched for a long time before finding some clues. It turns out that behind this company is Yang Lanyan."
"This means that if I want to rescue Zhou Di, I must go and find Yang Lanyan."
This damn plot...
Lin Muxi sighed from the bottom of her heart.
However, she also anticipated that the main world would not let her rescue people by simply spending money so easily.
"I wonder what Yang Lanyan will ask of me in exchange."
"I also wonder what Ling Qianhe will do if he finds out."
"But, I can also choose not to let him know."
The system didn't dare to offer any casual advice this time, only muttering honestly.
"Honestly, I think host, you should tell the truth. Because every time you try to hide something from him, he finds out, and it only makes him blacken further."
"The issue with the little police officer hasn't passed yet. If you go to negotiate with Yang Lanyan again, even my foolish little brain can figure out that Ling Qianhe will truly go crazy."
"Telling the truth is good for everyone."
Lin Muxi was actually a little hesitant.
"But if he finds out about the system's existence, I'll be erased."
She still remembered the time the main system appeared.
That cold voice in her mind was chilling.
The system could do nothing but grunt and mutter.
"Then—host, you figure it out yourself, weigh the pros and cons, and make your choice."
No matter how Lin Muxi thought about it, she felt that this burden should be shared with her system. If it weren't for this damn system, how could she have fallen into such a dilemma, caught between a rock and a hard place?
However, if Qianhe really knew her predicament.
What would he do?
She couldn't imagine it.
It's really hard for a normal person to imagine the thought process of a villainous big boss!
