Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 699 Gone, Gone, So Sad

With its catchy melody and easy-to-understand lyrics, the speed at which "You Once Were" spread on the short video platform not only stunned the audience, but even left the Douyin officials a little confused.

Although this song is indeed not bad, it shouldn’t be so exaggerated, right?

But soon, big data sampling from the comment section answered their questions.

A big part of the reason why this song has such explosive popularity is due to its lyrics.

"Traveling the world with a sword", "dream", "the world is my home", "girl", "wine"... these words are almost without exception the elements of memories buried deep in the hearts of middle-aged people.

No matter how you arrange them, they are all the indescribable middle school dreams that they once had in their hearts.

And now, someone has turned these things into songs...

The password is correct!

Especially the carefree feeling displayed in the song, which happens to cater to the current social anxiety, allowing those social animals who clamor to lie down and be free to resonate emotionally.

Then, it exploded!
While appearing on the Douyin Hot Songs Chart, the entry #曾梦想走天下# also appeared on Weibo's hot searches, and directly ranked sixth.

At first glance, most people who don’t know the situation will be stunned for a moment.

What’s going on? Isn’t today Xu Lingyue’s concert? Why are all the hot searches related to her husband?
At the concert, even Xu Lingyue herself felt the subtle change in the atmosphere - ever since Zhou Hao came on stage, the response to her from the audience had become noticeably colder, completely different from when the show just started.

It was obvious that many fans were still immersed in the previous song and probably had no interest in listening to her singing.

If any other guest was chosen, she might feel jealous.

But now this is her man. Instead of feeling jealous, she feels a little happy.

After singing six songs in a row, she left the stage again to change her clothes, and this time the guest performer on stage was Cao Xing.

After all, he was once a top star, and the moment he appeared on the stage he attracted screams from the girls at the scene, and his momentum was no less than that of Chen Ailun who appeared before.

What no one expected was that the first song he performed was "The End of War"!
Because of its special background reasons, this song actually has a very embarrassing position in the music industry.

Judging from the quality of the song alone, this song is definitely a rare masterpiece in the Chinese music scene. If we narrow the scope to the Chinese RAP category, it is even more of the top one.

However, in the two years since this song was released, almost no platform is willing to promote it, and some have even blocked the song on their own initiative... The reasons behind this are basically well known in the circle.

Some people don’t like it… To be more precise, some squids don’t like it.

Because the timing and background of the creation of this song is Squid’s series of crimes against humanity!
However, now, Cao Xing actually openly performed this song at Xu Lingyue’s concert... The signal here is very intriguing!
And those who were just having fun secretly admired Xu Lingyue's toughness.

If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't dare to let Cao Xing sing this song... It's too tough!

When the song ended, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

Half of it is for the song itself, and half of it is for Cao Xing’s courage.

Not everyone has the courage to challenge the untouchable rules behind the circle.

Just when everyone was wondering what Cao Xing would do next, an unfamiliar accompaniment melody suddenly sounded on the stage.

All the fans were shocked. What the hell? He's not going to sing a new song too?!
This is too willful and wasteful!

"The brightest star in the night sky——"

As soon as the first voice came out, all doubts disappeared.

It’s the new song!
"Can you hear clearly?

The one who looks up

The loneliness and sigh in my heart..."

"Oh, the brightest star in the night sky

can you remember
once walked with me

The figure disappeared in the wind..."

Huh?
Rock flavor?
Cao Xing's style spans quite a bit!
"I pray to have a transparent heart and eyes that can shed tears

give me the courage to believe again

Oh, go beyond the lies to hug you..."

"Whenever I can't find the meaning of existence
Whenever I'm lost in the night

Oh~ the brightest star in the night sky

Please guide me closer to you..."

Honestly speaking, Cao Xing's ability to handle this song is somewhat strained. The habits accumulated from years of stage experience make it impossible for him to give it his all to perform songs of this style.

Rock and roll, this song would be basically imperfect if it didn't have the passion of madly testing the edge of breaking the voice.

But since this is the first time that "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" has been released, Cao Xing, as the original singer, naturally got some advantages.

As long as there is no better version, his original version will have its own halo.

At least the audience was quite satisfied with what they heard. After all, it's better than those humming and wailing internet pop songs!
"...oh please light up my way forward
the brightest star in the night sky

Can you hear clearly?
The one who looks up

The loneliness and sigh in my heart——"

After the song ended, Cao Xing bowed respectfully to the three stands in turn to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, thank you everyone. Now I will hand the stage back to my sister-in-law... I am leaving now."

"I'm really leaving!" Cao Xing looked around, "No, I'm really leaving. Why didn't anyone say "encore"?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter.

Several big shots in the VIP area couldn't help laughing.

Why are these guests that Xu Lingyue invited today so funny?

"Oh, really not?" Cao Xing shook his head helplessly, "Let's go, it's so sad."

Amidst the laughter, the stage lights went out and Cao Xing trotted off the stage.

After stepping down from the stage, he let out a long sigh and then punched hard to cheer himself up.

This supporting performance was quite successful!

By the way, they also promoted "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and got a huge amount of traffic for free.

It’s easy to tell with your toes that this song will definitely become a top trend in the future!

The feeling of winning without doing anything is so comfortable!

After returning to the backstage and drinking a sip of water, he couldn't wait to open Weibo and Douyin, ready to see how his fans and followers were praising him.

The result is a closer look...

What’s going on? Why does it seem like I have nothing to do with it?
Why are everyone discussing "You Once"?
It’s on Weibo’s hot search list, and it’s also the one being streamed on Douyin…

No, what about me?
My song is also very good, okay? It was also written by Zhou Hao.

You guys should at least give some attention to this, how can you be so partial to some and ignore others?

Hey?
At the same time, a number of music industry bigwigs are a little confused.

First it was "You of the Past", and now another one comes out called "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky". What's the purpose of this?

Who releases a new song at a concert? That’s too exaggerated!

You really just rely on your talent to do whatever you want, right?
