This man knows how to hype

Chapter 525 Exploded!

The song "One Day" was originally included in the first foreign language album produced for Lu Qinyao (Chapter 474).

There are three English songs in this album, in addition to "One Day", there is also Adele's "Someone Like You" and Beyonce's classic "Halo".

To be honest, Xu Xiyu had no plans to sing these songs herself before.

I sang "One Day" just to keep in the state of recording, so I chose this relatively simple English song and recorded it once.

I never expected that it would actually be used. I can only say that everything is destined. If I had not chosen to copy the song "One Day" for Lu Qinyao and recorded it at the same time.

Now it would take at least a week to add lyrics, make accompaniment, record and do post-production. How could we use it right away like we do now?
However, it was convenient for Xu Xiyu.

Nancy began to doubt her life.

At this moment, the expensive speakers in her living room were playing "One Day". Anyone who has heard this song knows that it has positive lyrics, a nice melody, and is easy to sing along.

That said, this is a pretty good piece of music.

It is precisely because "One Day" is so excellent that Nancy begins to doubt her life.

why?
Why does he happen to have a song against violence and war?

This song was definitely not written on the spur of the moment.

Because he and I have been together these days, and even after the shooting, he and Shan Xinbao moved directly into my house.

So, this song must have been written before.

But this is so appropriate, isn’t it?
Listen to that lyric: "stop with the violence, down with the hate, one day we'll all be free."

Could it be that he is really God's favorite?

As the song played, Nancy suddenly turned her head and looked at Xu Xiyu beside her.

I saw Xu Xiyu playing with an ocarina and tapping her toes to the rhythm of the music "One Day". She looked contented and had a somewhat extraordinary temperament.

A sea king, a scumbag, can actually have such an extraordinary temperament.

This made Nancy couldn't help but exclaim "Xiyu~"

"What's wrong?" Xu Xiyu looked over in confusion. This was the first time she called herself by her own name. She had always been called by her last name or English name before.

"You..." Nancy saw Xu Xiyu looking at her and didn't know what to say for a moment. She kept repeating the word "you" for a long time.

She lowered her eyes and shook her head and said, "Nothing, are you really going back tomorrow?"

"Yes, the sooner you leave, the better. However, some of the people I brought with me will stay here to set up my American studio. Please take care of them."

"Hmm~" Nancy nodded boredly after hearing that, then stood up and said, "Then you should go to bed early. Good night."

After saying this, she stood up and walked upstairs barefoot, no longer teasing Xu Xiyu as she did in the past.

the next day.

It's evening again.

Chinese Embassy in Washington, DC.

A middle-aged clerk knocked on Wang Shan's office door, pushed it open and said, "Leader, Xu Xiyu has returned to China!"

When these words came out, Wang Shan, who was originally reading the documents, raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Why did you suddenly return to China?"

Yesterday, just yesterday, I was still worried that Xu Xiyu would lose himself in the current situation of prosperity, but today he actually went back?
So he asked again: "Did something urgent happen to him in China? The Hugo Awards will be presented tomorrow night, why did he suddenly leave today?"

"It shouldn't be that he had any urgent business in China. I guess he just wanted to leave. Leader, do you know what plane he took?"

"What else can he take? Doesn't he have a Bombardier Global 8000 parked at the Los Angeles airport?"

"No, he took a civil aviation. You think he is quite cautious? I guess he feels it is too dangerous to stay in the United States any longer. It is safer to take a civil aviation. After all, the more people there are, the safer it is." The official said meaningfully.

When Wang Shan heard this, he blinked and thought for a while. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the clerk say, "There is another thing that proves that he did leave with a plan."

"what?"

"Before he left this afternoon, he went to Monterey Garden City and played the ocarina in front of the memorial site for the victims. He then wrote the words 'May World Peace' on the ocarina and left it there."

"Played an ocarina?!" Wang Shan was completely interested. He put down the documents in his hand and asked, "Is there a live video or something? What did he play?"

"Yes, in addition to this ocarina piece, he also released a song, which is now very popular on the Internet." The official said as he took out his mobile phone and opened YouTube.

After searching for the video, he handed it to Wang Shan.

Wang Shan took it and looked at it, only to see a video titled [Leonardo Xu plays original instrumental music "Heaven" for the victims of the Monterey Gardens shooting] appeared in front of him.

When I clicked on the video, I saw Xu Xiyu, dressed in a long green dress, standing in front of the victims' site filled with flowers, playing the ocarina with a solemn expression.

His image was elegant and otherworldly, and the melody he played was compassionate and gentle. Combined with the name "Heaven", the scene, and what had happened here before, it really made the audience feel a lot.

If there were listeners from Earth here, they would definitely have different feelings.

Because Xu Xiyu's song titled "Heaven" is actually the famous "Castle in the Sky".

The music lasted for several minutes and moved the people who came to pay their respects to tears.

Wang Shan, who was watching the video, couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, I didn't expect Xu Xiyu to have this skill. He can also play the ocarina?"

“Leader, you are usually too busy, so it’s normal that you haven’t paid attention to him. In fact, when he just debuted a few years ago, he created an original ocarina piece called “The Scenery of Hometown”, which amazed everyone and directly promoted the sales of the ocarina.

He also has a lesser-known identity as a young ocarina artist. His song "Landscape of Hometown" is a must-learn piece for ocarina lovers. "The official introduced with a smile. "The song "Landscape of Hometown" was composed by Xu Xiyu?!" Wang Shan had heard this song many times because it was often used as background music in some domestic documentaries. He didn't expect it was composed by Xu Xiyu.

So he exclaimed: "I thought I had highly regarded his creative talent, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated it."

"That's why they say he is the most talented young literary and artistic practitioner in the country, no one else. He is a jack of all trades and an expert in all areas." The clerk followed with a compliment.

Wang Shan, the top official stationed in the United States, will be transferred back next year to serve as the "foreign boss" if nothing unexpected happens.

Since he admires Xu Xiyu and hopes that Xu Xiyu can play a role in foreign cultural industry exchanges in the future, he must follow the leader in appreciating Xu Xiyu, so that he can be considered to be of the same mind as the leader.

When Wang Shan heard the compliment from the secretary, he laughed and did not respond. Instead, he continued to watch the video with his head down.

In the video, Xu Xiyu, dressed in a long gown, held a white signature pen and wrote five Chinese characters "May World Peace" on a brown ocarina.

Then he wrote [Peace and Love] under the Chinese characters.

Only then did he place the ocarina among the flowers.

Then he left gracefully.

The video ends here. After it, there are several related recommended videos with the same content, but the shooting angles are different.

So Wang Shan returned to the details page and glanced down, only to see that this video, which was posted an hour ago, had already been played 1 times on YouTube.

The way YouTube calculates playback volume is different from that of some domestic video websites.

With 1 views in one hour, it can be said to be a very popular video. There are also more than 48 comments. When you click on it, you will see that the top comments are all in English.

[Oh my god, he is so brave and kind, I am almost moved to tears]

[This song is so beautiful, can it be put on Spotify? (Spotify is one of the largest music streaming platforms on the Internet)]

[Oh my god, I just found out now that he is the author of "Landscape of Hometown". I bought the ocarina because I listened to his music - Love from Vietnam]

[I am very curious, are all Chinese artists like him able to create instrumental music, pop songs, TV, movies, and even subdue a gunman with bare hands? ]

[How is it possible? In fact, there is only one person like him in China.]

[Is he single? Maybe I can pursue him and become his girlfriend]

[Then you may be disappointed. As far as I know, he has many girlfriends and his private life is the same as Luciano’s.]

[It doesn’t matter, as long as you are more beautiful than the red-haired girl in the video, you will definitely be able to pursue him XDD]

In the comment section, some people expressed their touching feelings, while others went off topic to discuss other things.

Wang Shan couldn't help laughing when he saw this. He had heard a little about Xu Xiyu's love life. He even knew that someone had given Xu Xiyu a pair of calligraphy that read "Young men should beware of lust."

This has become a "laughing topic" in their circle.

Thinking of this, Wang Shan smiled and said, "Didn't he say that he released a song? What song is it? Please help me search it."

After saying that, he handed the phone back to the clerk.

Ten seconds later, Wang Shan took his phone back and saw a video titled "One Day", a song dedicated to the world by California hero Leonardo Xu, calling for love and peace" displayed on his phone.

When I clicked on it, Xu Xiyu appeared in front of the camera.

"How do you feel about people calling you the 'California Hero'?" one of the reporters holding microphones asked.

Faced with this question, Xu Xiyu was silent for a moment, and replied with a serious expression: "I am very grateful for everyone's kindness, but, to be honest, my biggest wish is that there will be no more 'heroes' like me."

"That's a pretty good answer." Wang Shan couldn't help but nodded.

At this time, the picture ended with Xu Xiyu's answer and slowly began to change.

The prelude of "One Day" began to sound, and then a screen with various clips mixed together appeared.

Xu Xiyu's singing voice also slowly floated out: "One day sometimes I lay under the moon (Sometimes I lie under the moonlight)..."

One minute later...

When the video showed the scene where Xu Xiyu invited children from the mountainous areas to come to Beijing, Wang Shan was stunned.

Then, the screen switched, and the smiling faces of children from different countries and races appeared one by one. The song also reached its climax.

In an instant, Wang Shan suddenly remembered another song by Xu Xiyu, which was called "Tomorrow Will Be Better".

So, he couldn't help but look up at the official and asked, "Did he write this song on the spur of the moment?"

“No, he responded in the comments section that it was written half a year ago.”

"Half a year ago?! That's impossible, it sounds like it was written specifically for this incident!" Wang Shan was finally a little surprised. Is it appropriate to use a song written half a year ago so appropriately now?

The most important thing is that Wang Shan discovered that his previous worries about Xu Xiyu were completely unnecessary.

He was much more sober than he thought.

"No wonder he can stand at the top of our domestic entertainment industry at such a young age. He deserves it. He really has the level." Wang Shan couldn't help but admire him.

Even someone like him who was used to big scenes was shocked.

The reactions of those netizens who listened to the song and colleagues at home and abroad who paid attention to this matter were even more incredible.

The song "One day" has become extremely popular both on the intranet and the Internet.
