Taking Liu Yifei back to Northeast China for the Chinese New Year has sent the entire internet into

Old Wang's lips twitched.

How could he not remember "Brother Zhu"?

This video has already garnered over 100 million views on short video platforms.

It has even been regarded as the "bible of the patriarch" by countless shout-rap streamers, with thousands of derivative versions alone.

but……

"Teacher Fang."

Old Wang wiped his face, still trying to make a final stand.

"Isn't it...not really appropriate for you to record this song?"

His gaze drifted to the waveform of the newly recorded "Northeast Folk Song" on the screen.

That clean, distant, and breathtakingly beautiful wave, capable of drawing one's soul away, still lies quietly on the timeline.

The two female assistants next to them also came to their senses.

He didn't interrupt, he just nodded frantically.

In their view, that song was more of a joke, just for fun.

Is it really going to be released as a studio version?

I feel like it's a bit... beneath me.

They even imagined the scene—

One late night sometime in the future, a fan, snuggled in bed, opened Fang Yu's homepage and pressed play all.

One moment it's "The Sound of Falling Snow," a poignant and regrettable piece.

One moment it's "Marshmallow," sweet and refreshing.

One moment it's the desolate fate of "Northeast Folk Songs".

Emotions layered upon each other, like being gently pulled into sleep by a tender hand...

result!

Suddenly, a loud bang rang out—

"Congratulations, Brother!"

Wouldn't you just jump right out of bed?

The pillow would fly out of the air!

Fang Yu, however, remained completely at ease.

"What's wrong? They're all art forms."

"Didn't the fans want me to fill the top ten?"

"I have to be fair and cater to the listening needs of different groups."

He held out his fingers and solemnly counted them one by one:

"The Sound of Falling Snow" is for artsy young people.

"Xiao Fang" is for the older generation of parents.

"Let 'Cotton Candy' be played for young couples."

"Northeast Folk Songs" are for those who are homesick.

"What about the 'socialites'?"

"Where are the guys from the bathhouse, barbecue stand, and wedding car fleet?"

"They are also my beloved family, friends, brothers, and listeners!"

He paused, then spoke with a firm and resolute tone:

"Broaden your perspective, and the most commonplace becomes the most refined!"

Old Wang opened his mouth, only to find that he had no way to refute it.

From a professional perspective, Fang Yu's statement is entirely correct.

Music itself has no inherent hierarchy or value.

Highbrow art exists, but so does popular art.

but……

This is so "Ba people" style!

"Alright."

Old Wang sighed deeply and resigned himself to his fate.

"Teacher Fang, whatever you say we'll record, we'll record."

Anyway, there's no way to persuade this living devil.

His fingers, numb, tapped on the keyboard to import the accompaniment file.

Fang Yu walked back into the inner shed, pushed open the heavy soundproof door, put on his monitoring headphones, and adjusted the microphone angle.

Through the glass window, I gave an "OK" sign to the outside.

Old Wang closed his eyes, pressed the record button, and started playing the accompaniment.

The dynamic electronic drum beats exploded instantly in the monitor speakers.

"Thump-thump-thump, thump-thump-thump—"

next second.

Fang Yu started singing.

"Congratulations, Brother!"

"Auspicious times and days bring joy like the wind; bountiful years and months are like kites in the wind—"

"Striving for wealth, for riches, for longevity; may the mountains and rivers of longevity bring eternal life—"

Perfect pronunciation.

Top-notch chest resonance.

A powerful and explosive force.

Fang Yu used his top-notch vocal techniques to transform this incredibly corny rap song into a powerful and overwhelming force.

"May your descendants be wealthy, talented, and noble; may your children be filial and your grandchildren virtuous, bringing glory to your family generation after generation."

"May you enjoy wealth and prosperity year after year, with money, power, and a bright future—"

Old Wang's eyes widened.

wrong.

It was nothing like the "just make do and get it over with" situation he had imagined.

There was something in Fang Yu's voice that was hard to describe.

Bold and heroic.

Free and easy.

The lyrics are clearly down-to-earth and relatable.

But he sang it in a way that—

The spirit of chivalry: I can roam freely across the land, and all men are my brothers.

It’s over.

Old Wang covered his face in pain.

The tears from "Northeast Folk Song" hadn't even dried yet when the images in my mind were forcibly switched.

Big gold chain, small watch, and three meals of barbecue a day.

He wrapped the mink coat around his body.

The brothers clinked their glasses and downed it!

The two female assistants standing next to her completely lost their composure on the spot.

His lips twitched uncontrollably, and he desperately covered his mouth, trying his best to suppress his laughter.

The soundproofing in the recording studio is soundproofing.

But laughing out loud... always feels like a lack of respect for art.

"Wishing you, elder brother, a meteoric rise and smooth sailing!"

"To be a high-ranking official with clean hands and an honest reputation—"

"With three sails and five leaps, we will build a great enterprise; with prosperity in all four seasons, the road to wealth will be wide open—"

Fang Yu became more and more engrossed in the song, her emotions reaching their peak.

In the latter half, he even added a few impromptu vocal transitions and vibrato.

Professional singer-level vocal skills applied to rap.

He truly is the number one person in the Chinese entertainment industry.

……

Five minutes later.

Fang Yu took off his headphones and walked out of the inner tent feeling refreshed.

"All done."

"Can you finish the post-production this afternoon?"

Old Wang seemed to wake from a dream, nodding repeatedly:

"With the quality of your dry audio, mixing is a piece of cake."

He let out a long breath, his gaze darting back and forth between the two filenames on the screen.

On the left, "Northeast Folk Song".

On the right, "Wishing My Brother a Happy Ending".

If these two songs were released at the same time...

Old Wang had a very strong premonition.

The Chinese music scene is going to go crazy tonight.

……

At the same time.

The president's office is on the sixteenth floor of Xingyao Entertainment.

Mr. Zhang put down his phone, leaned back in his boss's chair, and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Just now, senior executives from the three major music platforms personally called me!

After learning that Fang Yu recorded two songs today, preparing to break into the top ten and dominate the charts—

All platforms, without hesitation.

All resources are available, the review process is streamlined and exempt from inspection, and server capacity has been expanded ahead of schedule!

The exact words of the Penguin Music Operations Director—

"Mr. Zhang! As soon as Fang Yu's new song is delivered, we'll open it on the homepage without wasting a second!"

NetEase Cloud Music is even more direct—

"We've got it all covered: featured image, splash screen, and top spot on the trending songs chart! Even if it means paying a penalty to take someone else's recommendation spot, we'll make way for Teacher Fang!"

"This is a historic moment for the Chinese music scene, and we will not be absent!"

……

Mr. Zhang picked up his thermos and took a sip of goji berry tea.

My gaze drifted through the floor-to-ceiling windows to the hazy, gray skyline of Beijing in the distance.

half year ago.

Fang Yu was still a new singer who had just debuted and made no splash.

The resources the company provided him were only enough to maintain the most basic operations.

Six months later.

The three major music platforms gave him the green light.

Coca-Cola and Pepsi were competing against him.

Fans across the internet are begging him to release a song.

……

Mr. Zhang glanced down at the goji berries floating in his thermos.

To be honest, sometimes even he himself feels it's not real.

But the fact is—

Fang Yu has become an undeniable phenomenon in the Chinese music scene.

and.

This kid is far from reaching his full potential.
