Start with a pop song

Chapter 216 He will dominate an era; save the day; become popular overseas

To be honest, even if Li Ping, who was behind Times CEO Zhang Xia, called him, Song Dao would think it was normal.

Of course, Mr. Li probably wouldn't call him after being scolded by his own queen.

As a young man from a wealthy family, there is no need for him to do such a mean thing.

At most, they would just make some comments behind the scenes, give some advice and support to these black-hearted platforms.

Jin Qifeng of Yiwang, although not as awesome as his cheap father-in-law Lao Zhou, is just as famous as him.

More than 20 years ago, when Lao Zhou had not yet risen to prominence, the other party was already one of the well-known Internet giants.

He was also briefly the richest man in Xia State.

He is also a master with unparalleled glory.

Although those who know know that the apparent richest man is not the real richest man, his net worth is still hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars.

His reputation has not been as great in recent years, but he is still a well-known business tycoon.

Why would such a person look for me?
In a flash, Song Dao was thinking in his heart.

His reaction was very quick: "Hello, Mr. Jin, your call was a bit sudden, I am a little surprised."

Jin Qifeng smiled softly and said, "Don't worry, I'm a serious businessman."

Song Daoxin said, what am I worried about?

I'm worried that if you try to do something to me, my big sister will go crazy.

Jin Qifeng didn't know what he was thinking, so he continued, "It's about you guys listening quietly."

"We listen quietly? Mr. Jin, you are really joking. Listening quietly is not our job." Song Dao narrowed his eyes slightly.

I kind of understand what the other party is trying to do.

This rich guy has a really damn keen sense of smell!
I just don't know what your appetite is. Why would you set your sights on a music platform that has grown to more than 800 million users in just a few days?

He held the phone in one hand and picked up the wine glass with the other, and shook the half-filled glass of beer at the steamed bun.

Baozi also quickly raised his cup, the two of them clinked their glasses lightly, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Baozi immediately poured it for him.

On the other end of the phone, Jin Qifeng's voice came: "Are you drinking outside?"

Song Dao said with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Jin, this is a cheap restaurant, do you want to come over for a drink?"

It’s not that business tycoons have never sat at roadside stalls in their shorts and eaten skewers, but it was almost always with their brothers.

His somewhat informal invitation obviously lacked sincerity.

Listen quietly, it is impossible to sell.

No amount of money will do.

It’s not that he’s worried that the big sister won’t support him.

Although he holds the largest number of shares in Jingting, the successful conception and birth of this platform is all thanks to Yan Yu.

The eldest sister said that she used this to practice, but in fact she really treated Jingting as her own child.

Therefore, regardless of how much Jingting Music is worth now, just the fact that it is Yan Bao’s hard work is something that Song Dao would never waste.

What he didn't expect was that Jin Qifeng actually agreed so readily!
"What? Can I add you by mobile number? I'll add you, and then you send me your location, and I'll be there right away!"

……

Even after the call was hung up, Song Dao was still a little confused.

No, I just said it casually, why are you really coming?!
Lao Jin, have you been possessed by someone?
A young man who obviously doesn't give you much face, a top star in the entertainment industry who needs to kowtow to you.

Even if he is a major shareholder of a company with annual profits of hundreds of millions, is it impressive enough in front of you?
Seeing that his boss was a little distracted, Baozi asked cautiously: "Brother, who wants to come?"

"Jin Qifeng."

Song Dao said this while finding out Yan Yu's number.

"Baby, I'll send you a location. Come over for a couple of drinks later."

Baozi stood there in a daze.

I somehow feel that the name Jin Qifeng is very familiar, but I can't remember it at once.

But just the next moment.

His eyes suddenly widened.

"Fuck!"

In some noisy restaurants, there were partitions between each seat, so few people noticed him.

When Song Dao hung up the phone again, Baozi looked up at Song Dao excitedly and said, "Boss, is that the former richest man in Xia Country?"

Song Dao nodded and hummed.

"Fuck, that's awesome, really awesome!" Baozi picked up the wine glass in front of him excitedly and quickly drank most of it to calm himself down.

He is indeed a homebody, oblivious to the world outside and completely immersed in his own world.

But he is not stupid!

What level of person is Jin Qifeng?

He is one of the top Internet tycoons in the entire Xia country, the kind who can travel abroad with big leaders and meet dignitaries from various countries.

Unexpectedly, he called his young boss, and the boss asked him to come over for a drink in a very calm tone...

This feeling made even Baozi, who is extremely socially insensitive, feel excited.

I, Bao Xingchen, have really found a great backer!

Reality is not the Internet. If someone like Jin Qifeng were put in the comment section of Audio-Visual and My Show.

But little.

Countless idiots casually said: Oh, an old guy who is a bit out of date in the Internet industry, not very powerful, at most he has 100 billion or 200 billion Xia Yuan in his account...that's all.

That's it.

After all, the average Internet user has a Ferrari, and a 300-400 square meter detached garden villa is considered a small house.

The existence of the Internet has, to a certain extent, brought people closer together.

But it is also easy for people to lose track of themselves.

That level of magic is even more than the salesgirl at a luxury goods store thinking herself to be super awesome.

In fact, the real reality is: if you accidentally forget to use a coupon when ordering takeout, you can cancel the order and place a new one while cursing.

So at this moment, Jin Qifeng was actually willing to come to such a place and keep an appointment when the other party was already half drunk. For a self-deprecating loser like Baozi, the shock was hard to describe in words.

……

Yan Yu arrived quite quickly.

Only ten minutes.

When Song Dao and Baozi came out for a drink, she still had some things to do.

Song Dao thought that eating skewers and crayfish in a place like this would be too noisy, so he didn't call her.

Coming here now, the big sister changed into a very low-key sports casual outfit.

He was wearing a baseball cap on his head.

She wore a simple black T-shirt on the upper body and black sweatpants on the lower body, and her hair was casually pinned with a shark clip.

A pair of black and white sneakers on his feet.

She looks like a pure young woman with a boyfriend.

It's just that pair of deadly long legs and those bright and charming peach blossom eyes are a bit too unfair.

Neither sweatpants nor masks can seal it out.

When he came over, he attracted a lot of attention.

But because of the partition, not many people noticed that the handsome guy who was eating was Song Dao.

Yan Yu saw Song Dao, sat next to him, took off his hat and mask with a smile, and greeted Baozi sitting opposite him.

"Hello, Mr. Yan." Baozi, who already knew Yan Yu, greeted him somewhat stiffly.

"Don't be so polite, just call me Yan Yu," said the eldest royal sister, nudging Song Dao with her elbow, "How do you know I'm hungry?"

Song Dao: "I just ordered something for you, it's not here yet."

As he said this, he handed her a string of slightly burnt skewers on the stove in front of him.

Yan Yu took it and took a bite carefully.

“Delicious, I haven’t had barbecue for a long time!”

Then he picked up the wine glass and said to Baozi: "Come on, let me toast you."

Baozi picked up the wine glass shyly and drank it all in one gulp.

Song Dao took a sip and said, "Baozi, drink less. Don't drink too much when that person comes later."

Yan Yu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who else?"

Song Dao said, "Jin Qifeng."

The eldest sister immediately understood why the man called her here, nodded, said "oh", and said: "What does he want to do?"

Song Dao: "What do you think?"

Yan Yu snorted and said nothing more.

He put on gloves and started peeling shrimps, peeling seven or eight in one breath. Then he picked up his plate and poured the peeled crayfish into Song Dao's plate.

"I can see that you think peeling shrimps is too troublesome..."

As he was speaking, a middle-aged man of medium build, wearing a hat and a mask on his face, walked over.

At a glance, I saw Song Dao and Yan Yu standing towards the door.

Just then, I saw Yan Yu pouring crayfish onto Song's plate.

He confirmed it first, then strode over here.

"Yes, you are right. Teacher Song's face is recognizable at a glance."

As he said this, he extended his hand to Song Dao who stood up.

Song Dao smiled and shook hands with him: "Hello, Mr. Jin, I didn't expect you to come. Do you want to change to a private room?"

Jin Qifeng, who was also dressed casually, smiled and nodded to Yan Yu and Baozi, then sat down next to Baozi.

"Don't bother with that. If you're not afraid of a big star like me, why should I, an old man, be afraid?"

Having said that, Jin Qifeng still subconsciously looked around.

In fact, the biggest advantage of this kind of popular restaurant is that even if a big shot really comes to eat, it usually doesn’t attract too much attention.

In addition, in this semi-enclosed private space, everyone is bragging about their own things and basically doesn't pay attention to others.

Song Dao was not surprised that Jin Qifeng was in the capital.

Although his base is in Hangzhou, it is normal for such a tycoon who owns a private jet to have properties all over the country.

It is not uncommon to have many homes.

At this time, the waiter brought over the food Song had just ordered.

Jin Qifeng swallowed his saliva and looked at Song Dao: "Thank you for giving me another meal. I can't refuse such a kind offer. I usually don't eat much tonight, but today I'll make an exception..."

As he said this, he reached out to take the grilled lamb skewers that were greasy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Baozi's look was a little strange.

I thought that these things seemed to be what the boss had just ordered for Mr. Yan.

But I guess Mr. Yan can’t finish it.

She had never seen a goddess of Yan Yu's level, let alone seen a goddess come down to earth to eat skewers.

Jin Qifeng, who didn't look shy at all and seemed to have a bit of a funny personality, was eating the skewers in a carefree manner.

Song Dao's vigilance did not relax much, and he introduced Baozi and Yan Yu to him.

"This is my good buddy Bao Xingchen, nicknamed Baozi..."

"This is Yan Yu, the CEO of Jingting Music and my girlfriend."

Yan Yu was slightly stunned, and his eyes softened instantly.

Although most of Song Dao's friends knew about their relationship, this was the first time he heard the word "girlfriend".

It’s a bit fresh, but more of it is touching.

She smiled and nodded gently to Jin Qifeng: "Hello, Mr. Jin."

Jin Qifeng placed the remaining two pieces of meat on the plate and wiped his mouth with a piece of paper.

Smiling, he said, "Teacher Song just said it had nothing to do with Jingting, but it turns out it's his own business. Hello, Mr. Yan, nice to meet you."

Then he tilted his head to look at Baozi beside him, frowned slightly, and murmured: "Baozi? Have you ever posted an animation work on the Erciyuan website?"

Baozi was slightly stunned. He probably didn't expect that a loser like him, who was unknown, was actually known by the big boss.

Nodding, "Yes, I did post some short videos on that website."

"Oh!" Jin Qifeng immediately stretched out his hand and shook hands vigorously with Baozi, who was a little confused.

That feeling is much more exciting than meeting a goddess-like beauty like Yan Yu, the president of Jingting.

"I sent you a private message! You never replied to me!"

Jin Qifeng looked regretful, and then quickly looked at Song Dao: "Teacher Song, you are not... going to get involved in the animation industry, are you?"

What good buddy? Only an old hand like him would not believe that.

If he didn't have an extremely smart brain, would he have been able to become one of the Internet giants in Xia Country in his thirties?
Baozi was still holding Lao Jin's soft and slightly damp hand.

I subconsciously thought that my kidney energy was a little insufficient.

But people are still a little confused.

Said: "There are so many private messages that I haven't noticed them."

Song Dao smiled and said, "Why, Mr. Jin is also interested in animation?"

Jin Qifeng shook Baozi's hand vigorously again, then let go and picked up his phone: "Teacher Bao, let's add each other as friends. I really like the animations you make!"

Then he looked at Song Dao and said, "I haven't thought about doing this business, but I really like it!"

Jin Qifeng is indeed a funny guy.

Although he looks to be in his forties and has a somewhat baby face, his information has long been made public on the Internet.

Born in the 1970s, 2006, now in his fifties.

But sitting here, I feel no different from an ordinary office worker with some social skills.

Secret message!

He has a quick brain and is very smart!

He doesn't consider himself an outsider at all.

Ordinary people have no sense of boundaries, while big guys are approachable and have no airs.

Song Dao, who was a little worried at first and specially pulled his own eldest sister over to calm the situation, quickly became familiar with the temperament of this big boss.

"I am just like that, very outgoing. I recently read a really awesome martial arts novel. All my friends are reading it, and they all compare themselves to the Ashes of Time. But I feel like I am a bit like that old naughty boy..."

Listening to Lao Jin drinking and chatting across the table, Yan Yu couldn't help but glance at the man next to her.

There was a hint of pride in his expression.

The sales of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" have started to pick up recently, and it is said that the publishing group is even planning to print more copies.

However, it was the first time that Song Dao felt the influence of this book so intuitively.

It really started with the big guys.

It seemed that Jin Qifeng came here just to drink and make friends.

The four of them drank here until after eleven o'clock, and until the end, they did not mention the topic of acquiring Jingting.

On the contrary, near the end, after drinking five or six bottles of beer, he asked Song Dao with a smile: Are you planning to make an animation by inviting Teacher Bao over?

Song Dao didn't deny it.

He said that he did have this idea.

"Making animations is very expensive. I have friends who do this, especially animated feature films. One minute of special effects shots may cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. If you have a good script, we can have a good chat. I'm willing to invest some money."

This made Song Dao quite happy.

It’s not that I can’t afford it, but the risk is too great. The film and television industry is usually not something that can be handled by one person or one company.

With the birth of Jingting, the Feiyang school is basically in a state of being surrounded by wolves in the music circle.

There are no friendly competitors, just send them to your competitors.

This situation will only become more serious when entering the film and television industry in the future. If he can make some friends, Song Dao will naturally not refuse.

"No problem." Song Dao nodded with a smile.

The most excited person was probably Baozi, who was drunk.

Before I met Song Dao, I never thought that one day I would not only be able to create content with peace of mind, but also get such an excellent and complete script.

The book "Monkey King" is really exciting.

This young boss of mine is really amazing!

It’s amazing that a singer-songwriter can write such a wonderful animated story.

The key is that this is many times better than those legends of Wuzhiqi!
What is even more unexpected is that even a big shot like Jin Qifeng is his fan?
This is really magical.

He didn't regret never reading private messages before, he just felt that the boss was still awesome.

Afterwards, Yan Yu paid the bill, and Lao Jin and Song Dao walked out of the restaurant arm in arm.

His driver was always waiting outside.

Song Dao sent him to the business car. Jin Qifeng, who was a little drunk, suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Yan, your girlfriend is the princess of Linchuan Group, right?"

Song Dao smiled.

Jin Qifeng said, "Very good. You are different from what I imagined. You are not just an entertainer. With you in the business world, you will definitely be able to thrive."

Song Dao said, "I would like to thank General Jin for his good words."

Jin Qifeng exhaled and said, "Okay, we'll be friends after this drink today. Next time you come to Hangzhou, come to my place and we'll have a good chat and see if there's anything we can do together."

Song Dao thought of something and said, "Boss Jin's gaming team should have a lot of experts, right?"

Jin Qifeng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you still interested in games?"

Song Dao smiled and said, "I have some ideas. I'll talk about it next time!"

Jin Qifeng nodded: "Okay, it's settled. I recognize you as my brother. Next time I will make an appointment with you in advance!"

Then he opened the door and got in the car.

The moment the electric door opened, Song Dao saw that there was a bright and beautiful woman sitting in the car.

Dressed in business attire.

Seeing him, she gave a decent smile.

Then he stood up, reached out and pulled Jin Qifeng, who was staggering a little.

After Jin Qifeng sat down, he waved goodbye to Song Dao.

The car door closed and drove out slowly.

Baozi stood beside Song Dao and muttered, "The big guys are still good at playing..."

Song Dao laughed: "Do you like this tune?"

Baozi smiled shyly: "I like it."

Song Dao patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Baozi. It won't be long before you can do it too."

Then he asked Bai Yue to drive him away.

He and Yan Yu called an online taxi and left.

……

In a luxurious business car.

Jin Qifeng took the honey water handed to him by his assistant, took two sips, then leaned back in his seat with his eyes half open and half closed.

He muttered, "Damn it, this guy is much more capable than I thought."

The assistant beside him, who was dressed in a business suit and had a pretty face, asked softly, "Any new discoveries?"

To be able to be an assistant to a big boss, it is obviously not enough to just have a pretty face.

Jin Qifeng hummed and said, "'In the Name of the Father' is a song with an advanced style that has blown up the entire Xia music scene and has a huge impact on young people. In the blink of an eye, it has created a super platform like magic."

God knows how shocked he was as a music fan when he heard that song.

No one knew how frustrated he was as he kept talking about all sorts of things the whole night and didn't say a word about music.

The assistant asked, "Don't you want to take them in?"

Jin Qifeng twitched the corners of his mouth, adjusted the seat, and found a more comfortable way to lie down.

"Take the hammer, that belongs to Princess Linchuan..."

"Really?"

"Yeah, really."

The assistant thought for a moment and said, "Then I see you two are having a good conversation."

Jin Qifeng said: "This guy is a wonderful person, and his ambition is much greater than expected. Not only is he making a fuss in the music industry, he also poached an animation artist that I particularly admire. He's making animations today, and he's going to make movies and TV shows tomorrow..."

The assistant was a little curious: "Is he really that good?"

Jin Qifeng hummed: "Amazing, a bit like me back then, not talkative, but very talented and ambitious!"

puff.

The assistant couldn't help it.

Smile very brightly.

A woman like her who is beautiful, well-educated and has high emotional intelligence usually does not encounter this kind of situation.

Unless you can't help it.

It would be fine if the boss said he was talented, nothing wrong with that, but he actually said he didn't talk much... Really, this is too abstract!
……

the other side.

The two people who took the online taxi back to the studio were also reviewing their meeting with Jin Qifeng tonight.

"I've heard people say before that when Lao Jin was young, he had a bad temper and dared to confront anyone, but in private he was a pretty funny person."

Yan Yu said as she changed into her pajamas.

Song Dao, who had already changed into pajamas, lay lazily on the bed, looking at the big sister's amazing figure.

"He is indeed an interesting person, and very smart. After recognizing you, he never mentioned the acquisition of Jingting again."

"Are you sure he wants to acquire Jingting?" Yan Yu changed into pajamas, then went to bed and snuggled up to Song Dao's shoulder.

Lying in Mr. Song's arms was her happiest moment.

"Of course. He called me first and said he wanted to work with me on listening."

"From this point of view, he should have had this idea, but his reaction was quick. As a late-night music enthusiast, he didn't even mention your song "In the Name of the Father" the whole night. It's really hard for him."

Song Dao said, "He is interested in animation and wants to get involved. What do you think?"

Yan Yu said: "It's up to you, but my suggestion is to accept external investment. No matter how confident you are, you can't make all the money by yourself."

Song Dao hummed: "I thought so too. Let's wait until the team is established and make a preliminary budget."

……

The following days.

Song Dao first shot an MV based on Jay Chou's original version with almost no changes, and put it on Jingting.

Then I get back into writing mode.

The book "Investiture of the Gods" has a total of 600,000 to 700,000 words. According to the typing speed from the Song Dynasty to the present, it would take about one and a half to two months to write it all.

In fact, he had thought about making some changes and adjustments to many things in this book.

But in the end, we chose to publish it in the original version.

In the future, people in this world will create various secondary creations and write various fan fictions based on it, which is another matter.

Whether it is "Investiture of the Gods", "Dream of Red Mansions", or "Journey to the West", due to the limitations of the time when the books were written, many things in them are in conflict with the thoughts, trends, and even values of this era.

So if he wants to change it, many major plot points will have to change.

It’s not that it’s difficult, but he doesn’t think it’s necessary.

No matter how much criticism these works receive, their classic nature cannot be concealed.

If he makes various adjustments according to his current thinking, then it will be a pure work that belongs to him.

Coming to this time and space, apart from his personal life, his greatest mission is to pass on the culture of another world.

Just be a good porter and live a good life in this life.

There is no need to fight for any reputation.

Especially recently, Song Dao discovered one thing, with the gradual popularity of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and the explosive hit of "The Listening", his reputation is growing much faster than in the past!
Especially the reputation gained through the popularity of Jingting is increasing by tens of millions every day.

Now he no longer needs to struggle for life.

I am now qualified to create with peace of mind (lie down).

Faced with Song Dao’s “disappearance” again, countless merchants are regretting their decision!

Only Xia Yun laughed.

When Song Dao had not yet fully risen, they resolutely chose to use this young man as their spokesperson.

Fifteen million for three years.

This price, which made many people think that they were stupid and rich at the time, now makes them laugh in their dreams.

Other merchants who hesitated and invited Feiyang Lezhang to cooperate but failed to offer an ideal price and tried to bargain are now in tears.

If Feiyang would accept the offer before and had a clear intention to cooperate, now he has begun to reject it.

Although the reasons given are very euphemistic, no one is stupid.

If simply being a major shareholder of Feiyang Lezhang is not enough, after all, there are many stars like Song Dao in the entertainment industry.

So, within less than half a month after its launch, Jingting Music has been downloaded over 1 billion times, which is really enough. Even if people cannot find out the real equity structure of Jingting Media, they can't help but guess!
The identity of the "Red Dress Goddess" has long been revealed by netizens.

Princess of Linchuan Group and President of Jingting Media.

In everyone's opinion, Song Dao must have shares in Jingting Media.

Even if there was no share at the beginning, with such a miracle of supporting a platform with a song, which boss would not give shares?
Dare to turn a blind eye?
This young man, who has been in the industry for more than a year and has quickly turned himself into capital, refuses to do any endorsements, rarely does any commercial performances, and rarely participates in various activities.

It's so normal.

With the sudden popularity and rapid development of "In the Name of the Father", Song Dao's title of "Young Godfather" was mentioned again.

A large number of posts smearing "In the Name of the Father" finally began to appear on the Internet.

Even though Yiwang boss Jin Qifeng had privately drunk with Song Dao and became friends, it did not stop music websites including Yiwang Cloud from using various means to suppress Jingting.

……

"The images of gunshots in the church and falling doves are obviously over-collage, and the grafting of religious elements with gangster narratives is also a fast-food version of the Gothic style. The 17 religious symbols that appear in the whole song lack a unified theological logic..."

"If you don't know how to play opera, don't try it lightly. The switch between the aria and the hip-hop rhythm in the song has a 3.2-second tonality gap (from C major to E minor). This experimental arrangement seriously challenges the public's auditory inertia."

"Song Dao has no understanding of Italian mafia culture. The lyrics simplify the Catholic confession ceremony into a simple visual symbol, ignoring the core ethics of 'family first' in the original Godfather..."

"I really don't understand why such an experimental, weird and dark song is so popular? It has a strong sense of age, and the super long prelude is also challenging the listeners' patience..."

"To be honest, I'm really disappointed. Song Dao's previous song "Blue and White Porcelain" pioneered the Chinese style and had the demeanor of a master. But he turned around and created this kind of experimental song that has nothing to do with the Chinese style. On the contrary, some newly emerging singers, such as Zhao Qi, have created works with very strong Chinese elements, which is refreshing."

The people who said these words are not simple. There are both big names in the music field in Xia Country and relevant experts from foreign countries.

Because the song "In the Name of the Father" has become popular overseas along with Jingting Music.

In a short period of time, it received more than two million comments on various overseas social media platforms.

Despite all the criticisms, there are actually more voices of praise!
Many well-known foreign experts and professors, including descendants of the Italian mafia, have given positive comments.

A professor from a foreign university said: The song's interpretation of "the eternal dilemma of honor and betrayal" accurately captures the tragic core of the Corleone family in the original "The Godfather", especially the detail of "bow your head and kiss my left hand", which restores the real Mafia loyalty ceremony.

A descendant of the mafia said in an anonymous interview that the song's portrayal of the "symbiotic relationship between patriarchy and violence" is closer to reality than the classic Big Bang movie in recent years.

"Especially the image of 'morning dew wets the black dress' is highly consistent with the scene when my grandfather attended the funeral. Song from the East understands us. I don't quite understand the intention of those critical voices. I like this young man and his songs are very good!"

What’s even more outrageous is that this song even alarmed the Vatican in this world.

Because "In the Name of the Father" became a huge hit in Italy, some media reported that a certain cardinal privately commented that the song was "an oriental variation of Dante's confessional aesthetics."

"Its use of religious elements goes beyond the simple accumulation of symbols and touches on the essential contradiction of salvation."

Just like another time and space.

The impact of "In the Name of the Father" on this Western world, which has not changed much, is also quite huge.

In particular, the time when it was launched was later than that of another time and space.

Influenced by Xiaguo's current international status, a top singer-songwriter from the mysterious East.

Create such a song.

This is truly the highest compliment to Western culture, which is in desperate need of recognition right now!

I felt like: I'm so excited! My dad recognizes me.

In the Gothic culture circle, the cyberpunk circle, and even in the criminal psychology major at Da Piaoliang's university, people are studying the MV of "In the Name of the Father".

It has also been re-created in various ways by foreign netizens on foreign social platforms.

Netizens from the East and the West may easily quarrel when discussing other things, but when discussing this song, they can instantly find resonance.

A foreign music industry legend said in an interview with the Xia media:

"This work has gone beyond the scope of ordinary pop songs. I have some knowledge of Xia music, and I dare say that it can be regarded as the pinnacle of the Xia music industry, an oriental interpretation of global criminal aesthetics, and a spiritual totem of the collective unconscious in the cyber age!

Mr. Song Dao has not only created a super powerful music platform with his own efforts, but also raised the overall level of creation in your Xiayu music scene.

For a song like this that has caused huge discussion around the world and quickly became popular all over the world, I don’t understand why many experts in your country would criticize it.

Maybe the style of this song conflicts with your Xia country's traditions, but I have to say that Song Dao is a genius!
Not only can he use your country's traditional music to create songs with a strong Chinese style, he also has his own unique understanding and insights into the world and the various cultural elements.

If I have the chance to meet someone like this, I will definitely have a good chat with him and make friends with him. "

When the interview with this hall-of-fame winner who has won multiple Grammy Awards, Academy Awards for Best Original Score, Best Original Song, and Billboard Music Awards was relayed back to China.

And it quickly spread on the Internet.

The smearing voices against "In the Name of the Father" finally gradually faded away.

As for the number of plays of this song on the big charts, it makes all the songs behind it feel despair.

Many people say that if the big charts could fetch data from foreign music platforms, it would definitely be an even more shocking and terrifying number.

……

August 10th.

Cui Luo, the "famous" music critic who has not appeared on the Internet for a long, long time.

Suddenly, he posted a long article on Shuibo, and at the same time, he posted a video on his personal account of Audio-visual and Woxiu.

Caused a strong reaction.

Whether it is a long article or a video, the title is - He will dominate an era!
This "loyal black fan" of Song Dao is often ridiculed by the entire network for some weird opinions. In fact, he is a well-known music critic and comedian with some skills.

Change the past habit of "criticizing everything Song Dynasty has to offer".

From Song’s superb creative ability in the field of music to his top singing skills that can sweep the entire Internet without any rivals;
From Song to the various musical instruments he is good at, he talked about them one by one, to his world-class level of suona and piano.

From occasionally snatching work from Shui Ji San Qian, casually praising the company's artists and friends around him, to how awesome this recent song "In the Name of the Father" is.

The final conclusion is: this is a peerless genius who is able to write lyrics, compose music and sing, and whose abilities cover the entire field of music.

In the video, he looked sincere and admitted that he was too narrow-minded before.

"I can only say that my mind, vision, and perspective are all limited by my cultural knowledge and upbringing. I am short-sighted and could not immediately see that Teacher Song is a genius who is ahead of his time."

"But I am a person who always dares to take responsibility for my actions. Right is right and wrong is wrong."

"After I realized my mistake, I shut myself in for a few months, reflecting on myself, and at the same time carefully studying all of Mr. Song's past musical works. Finally, I was enlightened."

"I dare say that in the field of music... I don't know much about other things, but Teacher Song is not only invincible, but also beyond! He will dominate the Xiayu music scene in the next few decades and become the well-deserved music king of this era!"

"I know that after I post this video and article, there will be countless people criticizing me and calling me a bootlicker, but it doesn't matter. It's a blessing to be born in the same era as a genius in the field of music like Mr. Song."

"Children born in the 2000s, you no longer have to listen to your parents bragging about how they only had bran to eat back then. With Teacher Song here, you will have a feast every day!"

Cui Luo's articles and videos are completely all-encompassing and he flatters Song Dao in every way.

So much so that many of his loyal fans, including fans of Song Dao and Fei Yang, highly suspected that this guy had been possessed by another spirit.

"Although Brother Gou is called Brother Gou, he is a true round warrior in the creative field. As for you, my friend, Mr. Cui Luo Cui, I feel like you have become a 'round licker' after not coming out for a while! I still admire your previous rebellious look."

"Fuck, what happened to Cui Luo? Isn't this a video made by artificial intelligence? He actually started to praise Song Dao? The key point is that his praise is well-founded and I am listening with great interest!"

"Old Cui, if you are threatened, just blink. Although we have always looked down on you, we can't bear to see you being threatened. We will help you call the police."

"It's so funny, is the entertainment industry so magical? I remember the last time I saw Lao Cui live, he was still stubborn, and the clips of you dissing Song Dao are still circulating everywhere on the Internet. Did you get paid?"

"I feel like it's really overhyped. Is the song 'In the Name of the Father' really that good? I don't like it. I've only listened to it a few dozen times in so many days..."

"Don't talk like that anymore, upstairs. I've already pulled out my 40-meter-long sword."

As things have developed to this point, whether it is magical or normal, even people who don’t care about or pay attention to the entertainment industry are no longer unfamiliar with the name Song Dao.

Not everyone can accept that kind of dark style of songs, but it doesn’t matter.

When they download Jingting Music, they can not only listen to songs of various styles under the name of Song Dao.

You can also listen to many classic old songs that have been buried in your memory.

Recently, Song Dao has been in seclusion creating, but the rapidly growing Jingting music team has been busy.

Not only did they actively contact singers and music companies in Xiaguo, but they also took advantage of the "In the Name of the Father" listening craze on the Internet to start discussing cooperation with major foreign music platforms.

Even the employees in the Jingting Marketing Department privately lamented that having an awesome boss, the celebrity effect was really effective!
Although there is still no evidence to date showing a direct relationship between Song Dao and Jingting Media.

But almost all Jingting employees regard him as the boss, or at least one of them.

When these people came into contact with foreign music platforms, they were able to easily negotiate deals with some "shitty" singers that even Penguin Music and E-net Music had difficulty signing.

Those people’s attitude is very direct - how much money is made is not important, what is important is to appreciate Song as a person.

What makes many people depressed is that Song Dao, this big loser, has disappeared from the public eye again.

Not to mention variety shows and commercial performances, even the media reporters who were desperate to interview him had no chance at all.

Except for a few people around him, no one knew what he was doing.

Even his driver and assistant Bai Yue was dug out by the resourceful netizens.

He even became a hot topic on the Internet for half a day because he was too free to go to the gym to lift weights.

Just when netizens were planning to repeat the old trick and use “calling Dafa” to call out the slacking Teacher Song to come out and do business.

A very explosive piece of news suddenly became the number one trending search!

——#Song comes to the rescue#
With this hot search, Song Dao, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared in the public eye again in such a round and lively way.

When many people clicked in and saw the video and comments, they were all speechless.

"What is Gou Ge going to do? Is he going to play high-end music in the future?"

"Save a top-notch piano concert? Oh my god, many people on the Internet said that his piano skills are top-notch, including Zhao Zhao and others, who praised him crazily. I don't understand it anymore, and I don't really believe it. So what they said is true?"

"During Zhao Zhao's special performance, he was exhausted due to severe diarrhea, so he urgently asked his good brother Song to come to the rescue, and won the applause of the whole audience?"

"This is crazy! Our Dog Brother is indeed a round warrior. It's not enough for him to sing "In the Name of the Father" which is killing people on the foreign music charts. He has to go to the high-end bureau to teach him a lesson?"

In the video, Song Dao was invited out by Zhao Zhao. He was wearing a very decent Xia Yun haute couture dress. He had a tall and straight figure and stood on the stage gracefully.

A large group of foreign dignitaries and celebrities in the audience gave warm applause.

And when Song Dao sat in front of the piano and played the song "Jasmine Flower" smoothly and gracefully, the applause from the audience lasted for a long time.

More than ten minutes!

The video was very complete, and the reactions from the audience also made countless netizens go wild.

"Oh my god, my favorite singer is actually a top pianist on the same level as Zhao Zhao? Can anyone tell me if this is an AI-generated video?"

"What the hell, foreign media are reporting on this: A mysterious father from the East is here to offer warmth..."

"Hahaha, this is so funny, mysterious oriental father, can you please stop doing this?"

In fact, Song Dao's performance in the "Land of Sunset" as a rescue did become a hit in foreign media.

Even without the song "In the Name of the Father", his world-class piano skills are highly recognized.

The reason why he is called "the mysterious Eastern father" is a kind nickname given by the media.

This incident originated from a phone call three days ago.

……

Song Dao, who was tired of typing on the keyboard recently, started using Xiaguo's most advanced AI for voice input.

Although there were a large number of uncommon characters that he had to change manually, this also greatly improved his creative (copying) efficiency.

It increased from more than 10,000 words per day to 40,000 to 50,000 words per day.

It looked like the work was about to be finished.

Suddenly I received a call from Zhao Zhao.

"Brother, help!"

This guy went to Yingzi's place to attend a concert, but ended up getting an upset stomach and mild food poisoning.

He was suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, and was being treated in a local hospital when the call was made to Song Dao.

"The doctor said it would take at least a week to fully recover. Damn, this place with backward medical standards is so fucking rotten!"

"This concert has been planned for a long time, the tickets have been sold out long ago, and a large number of celebrities and politicians have come from all over the world. Cancelling it will have a huge impact."

"Dong Jiajie is currently preparing for a concert in Sydney and can't come over. I can only ask you for help, brother. I believe you can do it! I will give you all the ticket revenue later..."

Song was also speechless at that time, feeling that time was a bit too tight.

It was around 3:00 p.m. on August 6 when he received the call.

Zhao Zhao’s concert will be on the evening of August 8th.

In other words, even if Song bought a ticket and flew there immediately, even if he took the fastest flight, he would not arrive until the evening of August 7th.

There was hardly even enough time to adjust to the jet lag before they had to go straight on stage to perform.

But Zhao Zhao’s call for help cannot be ignored.

It was obvious that the other party had really no other choice but to call him.

Although it was not said directly, Song Dao could hear that if the performance went wrong, the economic loss would be secondary; the main concern would be Zhao Zhao's personal reputation.

As a friend, you cannot turn a blind eye to something that concerns his future if you are able to help him.

So he asked Lin Fei and Yan Yu.

Both of them showed great interest in this.

Lin Fei: "This is a good thing! It's like proving my strength at the top concert."

Yan Yu: "Let's go and have some fun. Sister Fei and I will go with you. We have long wanted to experience a concert of this level."

Song Dao thought about it, gave Zhao Zhao an affirmative reply, and then asked if he could get two tickets.

In fact, the tickets for Zhao Zhao’s concert had already been sold out.

But the brother who came to his rescue had to bring the Queen and Mr. Yan with him, and he had to do it no matter how difficult it was.

So Zhao Zhao urgently communicated with the counterparty and learned that several princes and princesses from the Middle East happened to be unable to come over due to some matters.

If you arrive later, the ticket will be given to someone else.

Quickly snap two of them.

So the group of three, with only Bai Yue as their assistant, took the nearest flight and flew urgently to Yingzi.

After landing and being picked up, Song Dao began emergency rehearsals and preparations.

Yan Yu and Lin Fei naturally had no interest in wandering around by themselves, so they waited at the hotel.

Only when the concert was a complete success did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Song Dao’s wonderful performance also made all the listeners feel that they had gained a lot!

In fact, some of the more "troublesome" audience members were initially somewhat dissatisfied with the appearance of unfamiliar faces at the concert.

After all, they came for Zhao Zhao.

Although Zhao Zhao apologized sincerely at the beginning of the show, saying that it would be difficult for him to complete the entire performance due to health reasons.

So he invited his best friend, Song Dao, who is also a top performer.

Many people still feel unhappy.

Their hypocritical gentlemanly manners prevented them from having an outburst on the spot, but they were all prepared to publicly condemn the organizer and Zhao Zhao's unprofessional and disrespectful behavior after the concert.

result.

When Song arrives at the end of the show.

The group was so shocked that they were speechless.

Xia Guo... When did such an unknown but top-notch pianist emerge?
Is there really some terrifying power in the mysterious East?

Not only did they hear Zhao Zhao's performance live, they also heard the live performance of the "Mysterious Oriental Father" who was completely different from Zhao Zhao, but of equally high quality.

In particular, the song "Jasmine Flower", which represents Eastern culture, was played in the Western world for the first time.

It received unanimous praise afterwards.

The Western media, which have always liked to discredit Southeast University, were unusually generous and gave high praise to Song Dao in this matter.

Some foreign musicians, piano masters, and even famous singers have called out to Song Dao on social media, hoping that he would not leave so soon.

I would like to play with Zhao Zhao again.

Top pianists like Zhao Zhao usually give several or even more than a dozen concerts in a city.

There are die-hard fans who never miss a show!

Seeing this, Zhao Zhao quickly flattered Song Dao.

"Brother, you are my brother, all the ticket revenue belongs to you, come and play with me again, I haven't fully recovered yet."

After finishing that scene, Song Dao actually felt a little unsatisfied.

Especially the atmosphere on the scene, it’s really good.

In addition, since I came into this world, the last time I went abroad was to the Maldives to record a program.

After being with the Queen Sister and the Royal Sister, we have never really hung out together.

Use this opportunity to relax and feel okay.

So I agreed.

So on the 10th, when Cui Luo "knelt down and licked the floor" and said the words that shocked the entire Internet, "He will dominate an era", and the topic "Song Dao saves the day" became a hot search.

Song Dao and his friends are still at Yingzi's house.

In the hot searches on the Internet in Xia Country, many people did not realize that this wave of popularity was just the beginning.

……

On the evening of the 10th.

Yingzi's home in London.

Inside the Albert Hall.

Countless politicians and celebrities from all over the world gathered here.

Many people came at the last minute.

There was no original plan to listen to Zhao Zhao's concert, but the arrival of the "mysterious oriental father" aroused great interest among the group of people.

Song Dao and Zhao Zhao even took photos and signed autographs with a group of princes and princesses from the West and around the world backstage, and even left their phone numbers and added the pigeon friends they had just downloaded...

"Tsk...brother, to be honest, I have dealt with princes, princesses, and other people from various countries over the years, but this is the first time I have seen a scene like this. I'm sorry to hear that!"

Zhao Zhao, who has almost recovered, can't hide his excitement.

Lin Fei, who was also in the backstage and was asked by many people to take photos and get autographs, also looked very happy.

Also in the background, the bright and charming lady was silently recording with the Leica camera in her hand.

Although she is beautiful enough, she is much less famous than Song Dao and Lin Fei.

Yan Yu didn't care. After all, from childhood to adulthood, she had never pursued this kind of influence under the spotlight.

Seeing Teacher Song being respected and admired by those people, she felt sweeter than eating honey.

This is not about worshipping foreigners or thinking that it is awesome to be sought after by foreign celebrities.

The current scene backstage clearly shows this group of foreigners "worshiping and flattering Xia"!
Those princes wearing turbans and socialites wearing unmarked clothes made by private tailors, stood next to Mr. Song, a handsome oriental man with a graceful figure, and smiled brightly.

The little princess of a certain country even looked at Song Dao with watery eyes, not hiding the admiration in her eyes at all.

But the dog is still good at showing off.

With an ascetic face, he is polite and distant to everyone.

It is this kind of aloofness that makes people more fascinating.

Later, when it came to the live performance, Song Dao not only played the song "Jasmine Flower" with Zhao Zhao, but also improvised a song "Fisherman's Song at Dusk" during the encore.

This theme song of weather forecast from another time and space aroused even more enthusiastic applause in this royal concert hall with a history of more than 150 years.

Even Zhao Zhao was a little confused.

Fortunately, this young brother is not interested in this. From his debut till now, he has always maintained the attitude of "playing music".

If this guy really focuses on the piano track, I feel like his job will be taken away by someone else.

The impact of the two consecutive concerts, especially the second one, was even greater than the first one.

When this news spread back to China, countless domestic media and netizens were all stunned.

Aren't you going to rescue?
Why are you still staying there?
What is the song "Fisherman's Song at Dusk"?
Should we, the media, rush over?
The reactions of netizens are even more interesting.

……

"No, Mr. Song, are you going crazy? Cui Luo just praised you for dominating the Xiayu music scene for the next few decades, and now you're going to dominate overseas?"

"Oh my god, is Brother Gou here to save the day or to destroy it? Why do I feel like all the compliments from the foreign media are being given to Brother Gou?"

"Zhao Zhao fainted in the toilet!"

"He fainted in the toilet, which made him lose focus while eating. As a result, Song Dao was dragged in to save the situation, and Song Dao became a very popular pianist there."

"No, Brother Gou, you can't do this. We just need to see this elegant thing. The brothers are still waiting for you to write a song!"

"It's over. Brother Gou will definitely never write a song like "Absolutely Crazy" again..."

"Don't worry at all. If you go to Jingting.com and look at the songs and tunes that Gou Ge has released in chronological order, you will understand. I don't quite believe others who say he is a musician, but you have to believe it, Gou Ge, this guy is really playing!"

Along with various voices on the Internet, more news about Song Dao stirring up the music circle at Yingzi's house was revealed.

In today's era where hot searches can only last for a day or two at most, and usually just a few hours, Song Dao may be silent for many days, but once he makes some noise, it will not be replaced in a short time.

As he saved the day in a foreign country, "Fisherman's Song at Dusk" received high praise from foreign media, and soon, photos of Lin Fei and Yan Yu finally circulated.

In fact, this was not exposed by the media.

On the night of the second concert, many celebrities, princes and princesses who took photos with Song Dao and Lin Fei backstage posted these photos on their social media.

Caption: I met my handsome and mysterious oriental father; Sister Lin Fei is my favorite oriental female singer...

Most of them are photos related to Song Dao, there are quite a few of Lin Fei, and there are actually a few of Yan Yu.

This time, the hot searches on major Internet platforms in Xia Country were completely dominated by the "Fei Yang system" again.

Various speculations, such as: Lin Fei and the goddess in red skirt were actually there; was the queen in love with Song Dao; the goddess in red skirt was Gou Ge’s true love; could the three of them be in love together, etc., were rampant.

Many artists and companies who released new dramas or promoted variety shows during this period were so angry that they rolled their eyes.

But there is nothing to do.

The popularity of the Feiyang series is too high!
The key is that after "setting up its own business", the Feiyang system, with the rapidly rising platform of Jingting Music, has become even more terrifying.

Didn’t you see that even Song Dao’s driver and assistant Bai Yue’s going to the gym became a hot topic?
Therefore, compared with Song Dao, Zhao Qi, who is still being hyped up by Time Media, even the Zhao Qi fans who are slowly beginning to appear do not have the confidence to say that my brother is much better than Song Dao.

I still say it, but I really don’t have the confidence.

Top singer, top songwriter, top suona master, top piano master... Even without the two adjectives "top" as prefixes, Zhao Qi cannot compare to him.

Since we can’t compete, let’s just try to make a profit!
Therefore, Times Media started to release various press releases across the entire network at the fastest speed.

Zhao Qi was crazy about trying to scam Song Dao.

——Zhao Qi, who has won first place on major charts, can be considered a top singer and composer; Zhao Qi can play the piano, but he has not had the opportunity to perform live in international concerts yet, otherwise he would not be much worse than Song Dao; although Zhao Qi cannot play the suona, he is also proficient in other instruments and is also a versatile person!

Some artists from other companies also followed suit.

Anyway, just keep leaning forward.

As for the various hosts on the audio-visual and my show, no matter what type they are, almost all of them will mention Song Dao during the live broadcast.

This wave of traffic is really great.

So, just as Song Dao took Lin Fei and Yan Yu, two goddess-level beauties, to stroll around Yingzi's house, ignoring the rumors and counting his rapidly soaring reputation.

The famous Song Dao hater, music critic Cui Luo, feels like he has fucking won!
……

When Cui Luo made that video and wrote that long article, he was really shocked by the song "In the Name of the Father".

As a professional musician, I have said many things that go against my conscience for money.

But a song of this level cannot be criticized.

The reason why he wrote articles and made videos to praise the song was because before that, someone found him and gave him 200,000 yuan to criticize the hit song from a professional perspective.

He refused.

He was afraid that someone would throw paint on his tombstone when he died.

But faced with this huge wave of traffic, I am not willing to miss it.

So after thinking it over again and again, I decided to kneel down.

Who could have thought, who would have believed it?
His kneeling was accompanied by the news "Song comes to the rescue", which suddenly became the number one hot search.

The sentence: He will dominate the Xiayu music scene for decades to come, quickly became a famous saying!

From being ridiculed at first, to being quickly accepted by everyone, and then to countless people madly liking and agreeing with it.

It doesn’t even take a day in total.

It feels like luck has struck.

The time has come, and Cui Luo's good fortune has arrived.

In the live broadcast room.

He is smiling.

"I have always been a pragmatic person. Although many people scold me, I don't care because I only speak the truth."

“Haha, Song Dao is a pianist, I discovered it a long time ago, otherwise, would you really praise a performer of Zhao Zhao’s level so casually?”

"You must be joking. How could I possibly accept Fei Yang's money? I wanted to send some to them..."

"Kneeled down to Song Dao? Yes, that's right, I really did kneel down. His talent completely impressed me. Don't talk about me, just talk about you. You guys are all shouting about it on the Internet. It's meaningless to be stubborn. Tell me honestly, don't you admire this kind of genius?"

"Even foreign princes and princesses, politicians and celebrities are vying to take photos with Song Dao and get his autograph. I'm not making this up, the photos are everywhere on the Internet."

"Many places used to regard Song Dao as their angel, the most awesome tourism ambassador, who would go to a place and boost the local tourism economy."

"Now, it's not just everywhere, it's the entire Xia Country! Go to the Internet and take a good look at how many people are praising him, and how many people want to travel to our country because of him!"

"To be honest, if any of you have this ability, I will kneel down and kowtow to you without hesitation."

Cui Luo's live broadcast room after several months.

Alive again!

Popularity has also reached an unprecedented height.

The gifts were given away in large quantities by excited netizens.

Cui Luo's mouth was crooked from smiling.

Is it difficult to collect water?

nonexistent!

I'm not being weak-kneed, I'm just respecting reality!
……

It was also on this night.

A breaking news quickly became a hot topic.

It quickly attracted people's attention and heated discussion.
