Chapter 472 I am a born composer
"You're right. If Universal Records still needs a composer, I think I can sign a composition contract with Universal Records. To be honest, Mr. Jackson, I plan to officially withdraw from the pop music scene after the contract with Universal Records expires. Of course, I will continue to make my music, but I may not be a singer anymore!" After the conversation started, Chen Chufan seemed much calmer and continued to explain in detail.
"You are not a singer? Are you crazy? Chen! Do you know? You are the most promising pop singer I have ever met. You have created countless miracles. Your fans are everywhere in the world, and there are no language barriers. People like your music and listen to your songs. You have hope to become the greatest pop musician in human history. Do you know what your fans call you now? God of Music, yes, it is God of Music. Okay, even if this title seems too high now, in time, your achievements will definitely match this title, but you actually chose to retire? Oh my God, tell me, Chen, you are a joke on April Fools' Day, right? You are still so young, how could you choose to retire?"
Tom Jackson, who finally reacted, became excited as soon as Chen Chufan's words fell. He waved his hands and retorted with joy. After saying that, he stared at Chen Chufan's eyes with anticipation. Obviously, he was hoping that Chen Chufan would give a positive answer. This was just a joke. That's right, in Tom Jackson's opinion, this really should be a joke. Chen Chufan is only twenty-one years old this year, and a powerful singer has a long career in an artist. Many singers even sang until they were fifty years old and still stood before the camera. From this point of view, Chen Chufan's career in a singer can be said to have just started, and it is simply unreasonable to choose to retire at this time.
Unfortunately, although Chen Chufan did not answer, Tom Jackson did not see any jokes from Chen Chufan's eyes. On the contrary, the boy's eyes were very pure and serious. This made Tom Jackson's expectation gradually fade away, and he became upset.
"Okay, even if you want to retire, you should give me a reason! Why? Your future is bright and your records are popular all over the world. If you are unable to sell records in your motherland, I think you don't have to do this. You can go to Europe and the United States to develop. You should know that the record market there is more mature and you can get more from there. As long as you continue singing, money, fame, and even women are all within your reach, but you have to choose to retire? Why? Why?" Tom Jackson was a little out of control, and Chen Chufan's decision obviously made it difficult for him to understand.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Tom Jackson, you've disappointed. I really don't want to continue singing. You're right, it has nothing to do with whether I've been banned from China. I just think the job of singer is not very suitable for me."
Chen Chufan finally spoke and said here. He paused and continued sincerely: "Don't you think that with my personality, I'm not very suitable for being a celebrity, which requires direct public employment? Look, sometimes I'm a little too impulsive, I can't control my temper, and I'm not good at dealing with the media, and often cause trouble for everyone. So although I still love music, I think composing is obviously more suitable for me."
"But, what you cause is not a problem. You solved it perfectly in the end! Besides, you still have a natural good voice. Could it be that you just waste your golden throat?" Tom Jackson interrupted.
"No, my voice is not born, but trained by myself the day after tomorrow! As long as I love music, everyone can train such a good voice like me. I think the reason why my music is popular is because of my creation, yes! It is my creation!" Chen Chufan defended, and as he said, a sacred light even appeared on his face.
"I have been thinking recently that life is really what I want now? This is also the reason why I have been slow to negotiate a contract with you. Now I have finally made up my mind. I figured it out that my artistic career should be about creation, not wasting time in the recording studio. Do you know? Recently, I have been inspired by strong moments, and countless melodies surge in my mind like boiling springs. They long to record them. This is a big project. I have no time to waste. Even if I am still young now, I have to hurry up because these melodies are so beautiful and so many. If I can't record them all in my lifetime, it's simply a crime! A crime against music! Do you understand what I mean?"
Facing the excited Tom Jackson, Chen Chufan finally revealed his secret a little. Of course, the memories brought to him by music genes were described as inspiration by Chen Chufan. Of course, this is the creator's patent and it must not be considered a deception.
However, Chen Chufan's explanation did not bring Tom Jackson's understanding. On the contrary, the senior manager of the recording industry's eyes became even more confused. What kind of inspiration should be so strong that it would make a young man in his twenties feel that he didn't have enough time? This is too much.
But none of these matters. What matters is that Tom Jackson can see that Chen Chufan has made up his mind. The young man with a bright future in front of him really plans to retire. Tom Jackson, who already knows Chen Chufan in particular, knows that he can only accept this reality.
"Okay, it seems that you have settled your mind. I can't convince you anymore, right?" Tom Jackson could only spread his hands and said helplessly.
"This is my thought after careful consideration. I think you will definitely support me! Just like before. In addition, you must believe that even as a composer, I will not disappoint you! I am a natural composer!" Chen Chufan said with a smile in a confident tone.
"Okay, it seems I need to draw another contract, but when do you plan to announce this news like the public? I bet that countless fans will cry for your decision by then!" Tom Jackson said in annoyance.
He should indeed be upset because of his short-sightedness at the time.
He regretted why he had agreed to Chen Chufan's contract for two years. If it were a five-year or even longer contract at that time, he wouldn't have to worry about ruining his decision like this, right?
