This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 45, "Come Home Often," is on the list!

In the following days, the song "Come Home Often" gradually spread.

Nowadays, the influence of short videos can be said to be quite significant.

Previously, movies, TV series, and celebrities would look down on short video platforms when promoting their products, but now they've all joined them.

The song "Come Home Often" resonated with a large number of users.

This song isn't technically difficult to sing; it's just that it touches people's hearts.

Society today is too superficial.

After the commotion subsided, many people realized something.

The most important thing is to live your own life well.

Let's start by visiting our families more often.

……

Bai Yiyi's hometown.

These past few days, Bai Yiyi went home to visit her parents.

She is now wealthy and originally wanted to bring her parents to live in Hangzhou, but her parents did not want to leave the place where they had lived for decades, so Bai Yiyi gave up.

When parents reach their age, they don't really have many ambitions anymore; all they want is peace, safety, and family harmony.

Bai Yiyi didn't want to force the issue.

My old house is in the village; it's a two-story building with a large courtyard.

Bai Yiyi was dressed in very simple clothes and was sitting in the yard basking in the sun.

Her phone rang; she had received a message from a friend.

"Yiyi, hurry and check the Penguin Music New Song Chart, you've made it into the top ten!"

Bai Yiyi was very surprised when she saw this message.

It's been so many years since she's made it into the top ten of the new song charts.

Bai Yiyi didn't have time to reply to the message; she quickly opened the Penguin Music app and went to the new song chart.

Her new song, "Come Home Often," is ranked ninth on the new song chart.

"This song made it onto the new song chart?"

Bai Yiyi hurriedly opened the hot song chart and found that "Come Home Often" had reached number sixteen.

This ranking is already quite high.

Her most popular hits often didn't reach this level.

Moreover, the ranking of "Come Home Often" is still rising.

Bai Yiyi thought about it and concluded that the reason was probably because the song was widely circulated online.

The more it's spread, the more people listen, and the higher the ranking naturally goes.

"Thank you, Teacher Shunqizi!"

Bai Yiyi was extremely excited.

She hadn't planned to break into the top ten of the hot songs chart before, but now it seems like it's not impossible.

Even if you only stay in the top ten for a week, that's already pretty good.

After years of silence, she really needs a new song for her listeners.

This has many benefits.

In the era of traffic, everything is geared towards generating traffic.

As her popularity rises, she'll receive more offers for variety shows and advertisements.

If a song becomes popular, other music variety shows might buy the rights to cover it. Although the money earned has nothing to do with her, it can increase her popularity.

Bai Yiyi excitedly replied to her friend: "I saw it! I'm so happy! I never imagined that Teacher Shunqiziran was so amazing!"

This friend is also a musician in the entertainment industry.

"Who exactly is this 'Shunqi Ziran' who wrote the song for you? I looked him up, and he's only written two songs so far. One is for Su Qingtang, which hasn't been released yet, and the other is for you."

"I don't know, let's just let Teacher Zhou know as he comes."

After replying, Bai Yiyi sent a message to Zhou Ruiyang.

"Teacher Zhou, could you please give me Teacher Shunqizi's WeChat? I'd like to express my gratitude to Teacher Shunqizi."

Zhou Ruiyang saw the message and asked Lu Ran about it.

Lu Ran agreed.

He doesn't have many friends on his WeChat account to begin with, so there's no need to worry about anyone recognizing him by his WeChat ID.

Besides, as long as the system doesn't prohibit it, it's fine. Not revealing your real identity doesn't count as a mission failure.

If Bai Yi recognizes you through WeChat, then you're really something.

After receiving the business card from Zhou Ruiyang, Bai Yiyi's breathing became rapid.

The person she's about to add is a top-tier songwriter, someone she should treat with utmost seriousness.

She tapped on the business card; the profile picture was an abstract, funny image of a person who "eats rice" (a slang term for someone who is lazy and unambitious).

The nickname is very simple, consisting of only the character "然".

"Look at this profile picture, Teacher Shunqizi doesn't look like a middle-aged man. What middle-aged man would use a profile picture like this?"

Bai Yiyi requested to add her as a friend.

The friend request was accepted shortly afterward.

She first sent Lu Ran a self-introduction, and then said thank you at the end, using carefully chosen words and being very polite.

Lu Ran felt a pang of sadness after seeing the message from Bai Yiyi.

"Sure enough, these older singers aren't very lively. Every word they say in a message, even the punctuation, is carefully considered. It's a bit tiring to communicate with these kinds of people."

He replied earnestly, "Teacher Bai, you're too kind. It's your performance that makes this song even more heartwarming."

Bai Yiyi glanced at the message after receiving it.

The image of the teacher gradually took shape in her mind.

He's most likely a middle-aged man, but very refined and scholarly—the kind of man wealthy women would find attractive.

They're difficult to communicate with; there's a sense of distance between them.

After Bai Yiyi thanked everyone again for letting things take their course, the two stopped chatting.

Since we've never met and aren't familiar with each other, it's not appropriate to be too enthusiastic.

Bai Yiyi concluded by saying she looked forward to collaborating with Teacher Shunqiziran again, and Shunqiziran agreed.

That's enough.

Not directly rejecting someone means there's a chance.

Before the next collaboration, it would be appropriate to have a meal together naturally.

Soon, it was July 25th.

"Come Home Often" has entered the sixth place on the Penguin Music Hot Songs Chart.

Bai Yiyi's name has gradually gained popularity in the past few days, and her popularity has returned.

Online, many music critics are discussing this song.

Even some netizens are saying, "This song must be on this year's Spring Festival Gala!"

There's no way around it, it's been a long time since I've heard such an authentic song. It feels like a heartwarming song born for the Spring Festival Gala, perfectly matching the atmosphere of the New Year.

Music critics have shifted their focus from the songs themselves to the singers and songwriters.

Singer Bai Yiyi and others need no further introduction.

But the lyricist and composer simply disappeared from public view.

Upon investigation, it was discovered that this person had even written a song for Su Qingtang, though it hadn't been officially released yet.

"What exactly is this 'let nature take its course' thing? I've never heard of it before."

"The momentum of 'Come Home Often' is quite strong; I feel it can challenge for the top three."

"However, judging from his natural creative style, he seems to be following the mainstream route."

"Don't forget, the first performance of Future Singer is tonight, and Lu Ran's new song is coming out too!"

"Holy crap! That's right, Lu Ran's new song!"

Music critics also became interested.

The new song chart has a one-month time limit, and any new song released within a month can be included.

The hot song chart doesn't have this restriction.

And now "Sailor" is at the top of the hot song chart, having held it for two weeks.

This is the real reason why Star Media is so panicked.

If this data was fabricated by Lu Ran, that would be one thing, but the problem is that it's real data.

Just asking are you afraid?
And now, before one song has even left the charts, another one is already on its way!
"The music scene is finally getting interesting. Let nature take its course, and with Lu Ran in the cast, tonight's going to be a good night!"

As everyone was discussing, it was already 8 p.m.

The third episode of "The Future Singer" and the first public performance have officially aired!
Thank you to Aequalitas, 扫匪日进斗金, and woofer for the donations.
