HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 348 [348] With the enemy at the gates, escape is futile.

Magic City.

While browsing the internet, Hu Yanbin discovered that people on the forum were discussing Qi Yuan's new single, which Warner Music had suddenly released that morning.

Hu Yanbin instantly became excited.

Qi Yuan is his idol. His four albums have swept through the entire Chinese music scene, and his first English EP has successfully entered the European and American markets.

"You're Beautiful" and "Sugar" have broken into the top three on the charts in twenty or thirty European and American countries, which is really impressive.

A few days ago, Qi Yuan once again fiercely criticized those unscrupulous media outlets through the newspaper. Hu Yanbin admired Qi Yuan to the point of prostration. Qi Yuan did something he would never have dared to do in his dreams.

When Qi Yuan's single was released, he had to listen to it immediately.

I heard that this song was written by Qi Yuan for unscrupulous media outlets and some friends in the industry?

Is Qi Yuan going to use this song to scold those people?

Hu Yanbin was exposed to Western music from a young age, and he knew that using songs to insult people was quite popular in America. Did Qi Yuan go to America and bring that back with him?
Soon, Hu Yanbin heard Qi Yuan's new song on the radio.

The beginning was a bit strange. A few old men were playing chess and saying "Come here" and "Go on" in some dialect I couldn't identify.

The sound of a nylon guitar and the rapid drumbeats suddenly rushed into his ears, like the roar of war drums on a battlefield, and Hu Yanbin was stunned for a moment.

"The arrow of time always points to where you are defeated. You will move forward, but eventually you will have to get used to surrendering."

Qi Yuan's rap is characterized by clear enunciation and a strong sense of rhythm, and he is using music to respond to the media's attacks and smears against him.

You want to bring me down? You want to move forward? Sorry! You'll eventually have to learn to surrender.

Hu Yanbin is on fire! He can even write such a cool song that's full of insults! Qi Yuan is a fucking genius.

"In this bloodless battle, only self-esteem will be hurt."

"Look at me, my fingers are relaxed, my gaze is like a dragon. When the enemy is empty, my tactics are endless, my offensive is like the wind. I will enter the palace on a bicycle and crush your dejected face."

"Never mind me, my fingers are relaxed, my eyes are like dragons. When the enemy is out of sight, I will attack from both sides, my momentum is like a rainbow. Use all my cannons and horses, and when the enemy is at the city gates, there will be no way to escape."

Hu Yanbin's arms started to get goosebumps.

awesomeness!

The most amazing thing is that these lyrics correspond perfectly with the events that happened recently.

A few days ago, countless singers tried to take Qi Yuan's place after her failed attempt to break into the US.

Now Qi Yuan tells them that he will only crush their dejected faces.

He can dominate the charts and get a number-one single in the US; he could easily crush you all with a single released back in China. Escape? Where can you escape to?
The lyrics in the second verse are even more pretentious.

"In the end, I will be the one to strategize and you will give up the fight... Don't worry about it, because I am only suited to be unparalleled."

After listening to the entire song, Hu Yanbin felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

He gulped down a large glass of water. Unfortunately, there were no oxen or fields nearby, otherwise he would have kicked the oxen aside, picked up his tools, and plowed five acres of land in one go.

The Heroes of the World concert was interrupted because Qi Yuan had to go to the United States for promotional activities.

During this trip back to China, Qi Yuan will definitely hold concerts in Shanghai, Beijing, and other cities.

Hu Yanbin made up his mind; he was determined to see Qi Yuan's next concert.

He was determined to meet his idol this time, shake hands with him, and even better, discuss music with him.

……

Forums such as Tianya, Mop, and Tsinghua University BBS became exceptionally lively because of the song "General".

"What does it mean to be a hip-hop king?! I suggest those who imitate Qi Yuan learn from him." "So cool! The rhythm and style of this song are so cool, so arrogant and confident. No wonder he's Qi Yuan."

"I heard this is a song that insults people, but there isn't a single swear word in the lyrics. I wish I had half of Qi Yuan's insult skills."

"The 'Central Cannon' and 'Screen Horse' are professional chess terms. Did Qi Yuan study an entire chess manual to write this song?"

……

At approximately 21 p.m., Qi Yuan's direct flight landed at Beijing Capital International Airport.

A large group of reporters were squatting at the airport exit.

Qi Yuan pointed to the microphone handed to him by a notorious Hong Kong media outlet, and said with a smile, "See, I wasn't wrong. I call them dogs, and they still have to grovel and beg me for bones."

Reporters from various media outlets: "..."

Depend on!
That tone is so irritating.

After a trip to the United States, Qi Yuan has truly changed.

What angered them most was that Qi Yuan had humiliated them, and they would have to continue to retaliate against Qi Yuan tomorrow.

Because standing in front of them is the number one male singer in the Chinese music scene, with 2600 million Chinese albums sold, over 400 million English singles sold, and over 400 million English EPs sold.

The first Chinese singer to have three songs simultaneously enter the Billboard Top 10.

The first Chinese singer to achieve a number one single on the Billboard charts.

The first Chinese singer to receive two platinum certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

The first singer to have three songs simultaneously enter the top ten or top twenty on multiple European and American charts.

Qi Yuan returns home in glory. If they don't report on Qi Yuan tomorrow, plenty of others will. If they don't report on him, his colleagues will be even happier, as they can enjoy the massive online buzz all to themselves.

The paparazzi from Hong Kong twitched his lips twice, thinking to himself that he would definitely write a long article to roast this kid when he got back to Hong Kong.

Qi Yuan could tell the paparazzi was unconvinced, so he added, "When I return to China, I will gather evidence and sue all the media outlets that have spread rumors and slandered me. Remember, all of them."

When asked questions by some well-regarded media reporters, Qi Yuan answered them very seriously; he simply ignored those infamous media outlets.

……

The next day.

The news of Qi Yuan's return to China became the absolute top headline in the country.

[Heavenly King's Success in the US: A Look at Qi Yuan's Achievements!]

A shining example for Chinese singers! A shining example for Chinese people worldwide!

From local superstar to international icon, Qi Yuan uses music to let the world hear the voice of China.

Those newspapers that Qi Yuan had criticized hated him. In order to sell their newspapers, they had to take advantage of Qi Yuan's traffic, so their articles were sarcastic and cryptic.

[Domestically a superstar, internationally a subservient nobody. Boasting about concerts for tens of thousands in China, yet abroad he's all smiles in small venues for a thousand. Has he truly succeeded in conquering America, or has he simply made America his home?]

Some media leaders from southern China and Hong Kong and Taiwan dismissed Qi Yuan's harsh words!
"Ha! Sue us? Lots of celebrities have sued us, who does he think he is? Keep digging up dirt on him in the US to smear him, if you can't find anything, find another angle."

The head of a notorious Hong Kong newspaper confidently issued an order.

A few minutes later, he received a phone call, and cold sweat broke out on his brow: "You damn bastard, you've gone this far!"

The person in charge was so shocked that his legs went weak. Warner and that bastard Qi Yuan actually invited professors from several top law schools, such as China University of Political Science and Law, Peking University, East China University of Political Science and Law, and Southwest University of Political Science and Law, to be consultants and held a press conference in Beijing. The press conference was called "Fighting against unscrupulous media".

Countless media executives and editors who had written articles criticizing Qi Yuan were now sweating profusely.

Is it really as described in the lyrics of the song "General"? With the enemy at the gates, there's no way they can escape?
