Mysterious Assistant of the Washed-Up Queen-Chapter 534 - 341: New Album Planning_3

He even thought he’d successfully pranked her, only to get slapped in return. Nice one—a beautiful spinning kick. Definitely a pro.

All teasing aside, even though it seemed like another big battle was underway, both knew in their hearts that these were just the small delights of life, and no one took it seriously.

After much ado, the conversation finally got back on track.

"Alright, enough fooling around. Why didn’t you guys tell me before you suddenly went over there? It would’ve been great if you’d waited one more day for me so we could go together. Let me see if I can arrange things and head over tomorrow afternoon too."

"No need. This was actually what we agreed on, and we never originally intended to bring you along."

"Why not?"

"Chu Tian, I know you’re worried about me and want to help, but I can’t be so selfish. We’ve already talked about this before: you can’t spend all your time on me. You have your own things to do."

"...So, can you manage over there? Are you sure you don’t need me to come help?"

"It’s fine. Sister Hua is here. Besides, this is something I have to experience sooner or later, isn’t it? So, please don’t come over. I’ll head back once things here are settled."

"Alright then. Since that’s the case, I won’t come over. It’s good timing, actually; I can focus on company matters for a while. Also, you need to start preparing for your album this year."

"Mhm mhm, thanks, my love. The new album will probably be a lot of work for you again. How many songs are you planning for me? Sister Hua has also received quite a few good songs recently. You could write fewer this time, so it’s easier on you."

"Regarding the album, I’ll keep it a secret for now. As for the songs, let Sister Hua hold onto them for the time being. You’ll find out soon enough!"

"Hmph! Always playing these games. Can’t you just tell me beforehand?"

"Hehe, if I told you, there would be no surprise!"

"Ah! I’m not happy now!"

...

The two chatted for a while longer, but because she needed to protect her vocal cords, they didn’t talk too late into the night.

「The next day.」

Chu Tian returned to the company. After handling some matters, he began to ponder the album issue.

The computer screen displayed the large characters ’New Album Plan’, and below it, a list of song titles.

The previous album was about passionate love. Back then, he had thought of making a love trilogy.

However, Xu Qingqiu’s popularity and influence had grown beyond expectations, surpassing the original goals.

Now, Chu Tian faced a dilemma.

Should he change the plan?

Should he modify the original album’s direction, or add new content?

If he followed the original plan, he actually had all the songs prepared for the new album.

But if he were to change it, how should he do it? A minor change would be easier, but the difference wouldn’t be significant.

A major change would be troublesome. He might have to reconsider all the songs, and it would also create a disconnect with the previous albums, giving the impression of a sudden change in style.

The advantage was that it could accelerate her internationalization process, but there was also the risk of a massive flop due to the significant difference.

Chu Tian sketched, wrote, and revised on the computer, his eyes lighting up with an idea one moment, then his brow furrowing in deep thought the next.

Or, perhaps I could stick to the previous route? At worst, I could intersperse a few EPs or mini-albums in between.

That’s not a bad idea. Stick to the original main route, finish the love song trilogy first. As for a side branch... I could appropriately include some foreign language songs. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

This way, the main style remains unaffected, and EPs or singles can test new genres and areas without having too great an impact on her image...

Gradually, a more complete plan began to form in his mind. His fingers tapped on the keyboard, swiftly shaping a project proposal.
