The metaverse, starting with a deadlock

"Sir, I'm sorry, your work does not comply with our company's regulations. If I have the opportunity, I look forward to cooperating with you next time. Thank you for your support to Xiangjiang Warner Music."

Yuan Chao came out of the office of Warner Music Xiangjiang Branch with a stiff smile, looked up at the setting sun, and was speechless for a long time.

Today, he has traveled almost all over the major music companies in Xiangjiang, but he didn't sell a single song. It's a ghost.

Unexpectedly, in 1999, the Xiangjiang music scene was so stubborn and self-proclaimed that they were unwilling to give newcomers a chance. No wonder the entire entertainment industry will decline rapidly at the end of this year.

Sighing faintly, Yuan Chao is so sad, he clearly holds the classic golden songs that will influence the trend of Chinese music in the next ten years, but suffers from the fact that no one appreciates it, how can this be changed?
Those high-ranking music executives with their eyes above the top are not without ignorance, but they are all astute as hell. As soon as they heard that Yuan Chao was not famous, they tried their best to lower the price. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to sell the songs in your hand cheaply.

Just wasted another day.

Yuan Chao stretched out his tongue and licked his dry lips. Looking at the crowd passing by on the street, he felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart. He greedily stared at the necks of every passer-by, faintly unable to restrain his blood-sucking urge.

No, it's a sign of something out of control!

Yuan Chao woke up vigilantly in time, subconsciously trying to get away from the lively crowd.

"Sir, please wait a moment!"

Just a few steps away, there was a sudden shout from behind.

At first Yuan Chao didn't know it was calling him, but he didn't expect the man to trot to block Yuan Chao's way.

Take a closer look.

Huh?
It's a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, why does this guy look familiar?

The young man seemed to be running too fast, he was not breathing well, he half-bent his knees, and said out of breath, "First, sir, can I delay you for a few minutes, can I?"

Yuan Chao waited for the boy to catch his breath before asking doubtfully, "Hello, what can I do?"

The boy pointed to the tea restaurant on the side, and said with a smile, "It's almost time for dinner, why don't we go to the tea restaurant to have something to eat before talking slowly?"

It was getting dark anyway, Yuan Chao nodded in agreement.

The two came to the tea restaurant. The young man seemed to come here often. After calling the waiter, he ordered food as usual, "Mandarin duck with less sugar and all ice, one curry with two dishes, and a cage of butter pig."

Then he asked Yuan Chao with a smile, "How about you, sir?"

Yuan Chao is now an inhuman zombie and has no desire for food, but his zombie blood comes from the system, at least he won't suffer from diarrhea after eating ordinary food like the zombies in this world, so he just ordered a cup of milk tea.

After the clerk left, the young man said familiarly, "Sir, you are leaving the treasure. If you come to Cuihua and don't eat some signature dishes, it will be like entering Baoshan and returning empty-handed."

It can be seen that the young man was born either rich or noble, not to mention wearing famous brands, and his gestures reveal traces of good education.

But Yuan Chao still couldn't figure out why he was looking for him.

Yuan Chao shrugged and said, "I don't have much pursuit of food, can you tell me what you want from me now?"

The boy paused for a moment, tried to put on a calm expression, and said seriously, "Hi sir, my name is Mai Yunran. I just saw you buying songs at Warner Records. I just took the liberty to bother you when I saw the songs. If there is anything inappropriate Please forgive me."

Hearing this answer, Yuan Chao was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly had an idea, and a figure appeared in his mind, which overlapped to some extent with the boy in front of him.

Isn't this guy the geek director known as "The Last Echo of Zombie Movies" and one of the "stupid and naive" boyfriends in the future?
No wonder he looks so familiar, this guy is almost 70 years old in reality, and he is one of the directors that Yuan Chao admires, so I have a little impression.

Yes, this product looks like it will debut in three years.

I didn't expect to meet him at this point in time. Fate is really amazing.

Yuan Chao knew it in his heart, and said calmly, "So you plan to ask me to buy songs?"

Mai Yunran nodded hastily, and said happily, "If you don't give up, please sell me the song "Ten Years", I promise to use the best resources to help you promote your name, and you will never disappoint your husband." blood!"

Yuan Chao did not doubt the authenticity of Mai Yunran's words. After all, his father is a well-known wealthy businessman in Xiangjiang, and he will also throw money to make his debut in the future.

Whether or not to be famous is the second thing, the key is can this guy afford the money?
Lowering his head and taking a sip of milk tea, Yuan Chao asked lightly, "I can buy the song for you, but I need money very much now, and I doubt whether your financial ability can afford it. If the price is not satisfactory, I will not shot."

Mai Yunran was overjoyed when he heard the words, money was nothing to him at all, he really loves music, especially at this passionate age, he immediately promised happily, "Don't worry, sir, I am willing to pay 10 yuan Hong Kong dollars to buy the singing rights of "Ten Years", if possible, we can sign the contract and pay the payment now!"

Yuan Chao almost choked, and looked at Mai Yunran in amazement, wondering if all the rich second generations are so arrogant, 10 Hong Kong dollars seemed as easy as ten yuan to Mai Yunran.

Previously, those record companies were only willing to pay [-] Hong Kong dollars for "Ten Years" at most, and they were even more like a vampire than him.

If this kid is a fool, he is lucky. Strictly speaking, 10 yuan is really not a loss to buy E God's future classic hits.

Since the price was right, Yuan Chao didn't hesitate and immediately agreed to sell the song to Mai Yunran.

Mai Yunran was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone and ordered the lawyer at home to make a contract and come here with cash.

Today's mobile phones are rare items, and you can't afford to use them without a certain wealth.

Yuan Chao signaled Mai Yunran not to get excited, and then showed him the other nine prepared classics.

"Great, I didn't expect Mr. Yuan to be so talented, "Ten Years", "Fairy Tale", "1 Reasons", "I Don't Go Home in Autumn", "Love Calls Transfer", "There is a Love Called Letting go", "Love is a last resort", "Slaying the Wolf", "Blue Turkey", "Hua Tian Cuo", each of these songs has its own characteristics. Once released, it will definitely cause a sensation in the music world! These ten songs can just make up a Mandarin I want all the albums, sir, please make a price!" Mai Yunran looked at the score excitedly, like an old man who fell into ecstasy when he saw delicious food.

Yuan Chao smiled conceitedly, and said decisively, "Seeing that I am destined to be with you, 100 million ten songs will be packaged for you!"

Mai Yunran had no intention of haggling at all, and hurried outside to urge his father's personal lawyer to make preparations.

Half an hour later, a lawyer in a suit and leather shoes rushed to the tea restaurant with a box of money. Witnessed by the lawyer, the two happily signed the contract.

"Mr. Yuan, here are the 50 cash and 50 checks you requested. If you have any good works in the future, remember to take care of me!" Mai Yunran said happily, holding the score tightly.

Yuan Chao was polite and separated from Mai Yunran.

With the money, Yuan Chao hurriedly chartered a taxi to Tai O Fishing Village regardless of the darkness.

"Yo? The honored guest came, but the little brother has already raised money?" Gu Yue stared at the leather bag in Yuan Chao's hand with a smile and smiled.

Yuan Chao didn't talk nonsense, took out 30 yuan and put it on the table in front of him, and said with a sneer, "I've made preparations according to the master's wishes. I don't know when it's convenient for the master to do things?"

Gu Yue couldn't wait to pick up the money and count it, and said without taking her eyes off, "Three days later, it will be the day when Zhengyang breaks evil, just enough to suppress the yin energy in the extremely yin place."

Yuan Chao cupped his fists and said goodbye, "Okay, I will wait for the master to visit you in Room 2247 of Jiaming Building in three days' time."

"Slow walk without sending!"

……

It took a lot of time to go to Tai O Fishing Village, and it was almost twelve o'clock at night when we returned to Jiaming Building. The strange atmosphere of the building made Yuan Chao's scalp tingle, and the sense of crisis in his heart became more intense, so he had to go home quickly.

Yuan Chao came to the stairwell and started to go upstairs.

"Woooo..."

After reaching the fifth floor, Yuan Chao suddenly heard a burst of faint weeping into his ears, and immediately raised his vigilance.

The sound of crying was extraordinarily penetrating, erratic, sometimes absent, seemed far away in the sky, and seemed close at hand, which made Yuan Chao feel hairy.

I didn't expect to be so unlucky, and I ran into it again.

But now Yuan Chao is not too scared.

Although the ghost is weird, he is not easy to mess with.

Do you know about black-haired zombies?
With a little peace of mind, Yuan Chao decided to ignore the pretending thing in the dark, and continued to go upstairs as if he hadn't found anything.

"Woooooooo..."

In this silent night, the weeping sound was particularly ear-piercing and clear, as if the patience of the thing had run out, as if playing it with a trumpet against Yuan Chao's ear, which made him feel irritated.

Knowing that he shouldn't think too much, Yuan Chao still couldn't help but imagine the terrifying scene of the female ghost in white squatting in a corner and crying.

In many cases, horror does not come from the real thing, but from wild imagination.

"Woooooooo..."

"Unima coins! Have you cried enough? Have you cried enough to wait for Qingming to mourn for your family? Don't be frightening in the middle of the night!"

Yuan Chao's patience was also exhausted, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and cursed loudly.

Miraculously, Yuan Chao's scolding actually silenced the piercing weeping.

It seems that bullying the weak and fearing the hard is not only a human instinct, even ghosts are not exempt from it.

Taking advantage of the ghost's lack of reaction for a while, Yuan Chao rushed home like a gust of wind with all his might.

It wasn't until the door was closed that Yuan Chao's pounding heart calmed down slightly.

Yuan Chao was not afraid of the weeping ghost, but worried that other hard characters would be attracted to him if the trouble got bigger. Just a patrolling yaksha would be too much for him. God knows if there is any more terrifying existence than a patrolling yaksha.

"Yo, our musical talent is back?"

As soon as he poured a glass of water, Uncle Yan's sinister voice came from the air.

After taking a sip of water, Yuan Chao said angrily, "Old ghost, labor and management are in a bad mood, don't mess with me all these fancy things."

"Hey!" Uncle Yan's livid ghost appeared from mid-air, and said with a smirk, "You still have a big temper, are your wings stiff now?"

Yuan Chao put down his water glass, showing two long zombie teeth not to be outdone, "Whether the wings are hard or not, you will know if you come and try it!"

Uncle Yan's tone was suffocated immediately, he was dissatisfied with Yuan Chao's delay in going to the extremely dark place, so he subconsciously beat him with words, but he forgot that Yuan Chao is different now, he is not an ordinary person who was allowed to be manipulated by him before.

The current Yuan Chao is an existence that can temporarily contend with the patrol Yaksha.

Seeing that Uncle Yan seemed to be subdued, Yuan Chao didn't bother to care about it. He took back his zombie state and said calmly, "Don't think I'm delaying time on purpose. What the hell am I running outside every day? Isn't it to fulfill our agreement?
I have found a reliable expert, and I will be working in three days. Are you satisfied now? "
