Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 490 "Super Star" - Conquering Territories

Cao Sheng hummed in agreement.

Wang Jing continued to report on the hotel's work, discussing her future plans. She explained that she intended to spend a month thoroughly understanding the Oriental Sunrise Hotel before making any changes. After the peak summer tourist season, she planned to renovate the entire hotel building, both inside and out, in the second half of the year to give the hotel a fresh new look.

Cao Sheng listened quietly to her ideas without offering any opinions. Only after she finished speaking did Cao Sheng say, "Okay! Your thinking is very clear, let's do it this way!"

"Okay! Thank you, boss!"

Wang Jing was very happy, and her appetite seemed to have improved a lot.

……

a few days later.

Ali's publicity team came to Huizhou to film an advertisement for Cao Sheng.

The main reason Jack Ma agreed to Cao Sheng's investment in Ali was that Cao Sheng was asked to endorse Ali's products.

Therefore, the publicity team that Ali sent this time is very professional.

It's said that the advertising director is very famous in Shanghai, and Ali specially invited him from Shanghai at a high price.

The filming location was arranged at Cao Sheng's villa.

The advertising plan wasn't complicated. It was simply that Cao Sheng, sitting at home, would buy items online through the Ali platform whenever he felt like it, easily purchasing goods from all over the country.

However, a considerable amount of advertising material was shot.

First, the film focuses on Cao Sheng purchasing a batch of electronic goods; then he purchases a batch of fruits from all over the country; then he purchases a batch of books, and so on.

Cao Sheng filmed the entire advertisement over three days.

This naturally affected his writing during the day; not a single word was added to the draft of "Cultivation Chat Group" in these three days.

After the filming crew left, Cao Sheng finally had time to continue writing his new book.

After a three-day break, when he opened the document again and looked at the drafts he had saved, he felt a little unfamiliar with it. He sat in front of the computer for more than an hour, but he couldn't find the feeling of writing the book again.

There are also advantages.

It means being able to examine your previously written drafts from an outsider's perspective.

……

The morning Cao Sheng continued writing "Cultivation Chat Group".

Hong Kong.

Yinghuang Film Company held a grand press conference.

At the press conference, Chairman Ying Huang Yang personally stood on the stage to promote an EP by the duo Asa and Zhong Xintong.

EP stands for Mini Record.

The number of songs on the album is less than the number of songs on a full-length album.

Generally, there are 4 to 8 songs.

Dozens of media reporters were present at the press conference.

The camera flash frequently emitted bursts of white light, so bright that most people couldn't look directly at it.

But Chairman Yang seemed unaffected. Standing in front of a bunch of microphones, he announced with a smile: "The reason we are holding this press conference is not only because our Asa and Xintong are excellent enough, but mainly because the title track of their EP is the first song written by Zhongyuan Yidianhui, the number one talent in mainland China. He not only wrote all the lyrics, but also gave a lot of valuable suggestions on the music."

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became enthusiastic as he spoke.

The reporters' questions were as lively as a quarrel in a vegetable market.

"Chairman Yang! You just mentioned Zhongyuan Yidianhui? Is it the novelist from the mainland, Zhongyuan Yidianhui?"

"Chairman Yang! How did you manage to do that? How much money did you give him?"

"That's right, Chairman Yang! How did you manage to convince someone who writes novels to write lyrics for your singers?"

"Chairman Yang! Did you use any honey traps?"

……

Chairman Yang is very well-mannered.

At least in this setting, his manners were impeccable. No matter what the reporters asked, he maintained a smile. Amidst the noise, he pressed his hands down to quiet the room before turning to Asa and Zhong Xintong beside him, and said with a smile, "Dear media friends, the main focus of today's press conference is Asa and Xintong, not me! So please ask them any questions you may have. Thank you!"

As he spoke, like a scumbag determined to get a divorce, he ignored the reporters' reluctance, took two steps back, and handed the opportunity to speak to Asa and Zhong Xintong.

The reporters, like children who would flock to whoever offered them milk, couldn't hold onto Chairman Yang and immediately shifted their attention to Asa and Zhong Xintong.

For them, these two beautiful women could also satisfy their curiosity.

"Asa! Did you use your feminine wiles on Zhongyuan Yidianhui?"

One reporter asked the first question.

The question, raised unintentionally, struck Asa like a sharp arrow into his heart.

Asa's cheeks flushed slightly, but she forced herself to remain calm and put on a sweet smile. She immediately shook her head and denied it, "No! I think the key to the honey trap should be beauty, but I don't think Xintong and I are beautiful enough. What do you think, Xintong?"

Her big, dark eyes looked at Zhong Xintong.

Zhong Xintong resisted the urge to complain and nodded in agreement: "Yes! We're not beautiful enough yet, we need to work harder!"

"Zhong Xintong! May I ask, was the title track that Zhongyuan Yidianhui wrote for you written because of your reputation, or because of Asa's reputation?"

Another reporter asked a question loudly.

Unintentionally, it was like a sharp arrow hitting the bullseye in Zhong Xintong's heart.

Back then, the New Year had just passed when Asa asked her to go to the mainland to find Cao Sheng. Zhong Xintong wanted to go home and reunite with her family, so she hesitated for a moment and then declined Asa's invitation.

Afterwards, Asa flew to Huizhou alone, and when he returned, he brought back lyrics written by Cao Sheng himself.

Zhong Xintong was stunned at the time.

This surprised everyone in the company.

Therefore, Zhong Xintong was well aware that this song was written by Cao Sheng for Asa.

This made her regret not going to Huizhou with Asa to see him.

She didn't expect the questions from the reporters at today's press conference to be so tricky. The first question was whether they had used their charms, and the second question was whether Zhongyuan Yidianhui wrote the song because of either of them.

Write your mother's name!
Suppressing the urge to curse, Zhong Xintong maintained a smile and a humble expression, saying, "It should be written for Asa, right? As you can see, Asa is so adorable, isn't she?"

The reporters' attention was immediately drawn to Asa's face.

"Ah! Is what Zhong Xintong said true? Was this song really written for you by Zhongyuan Yidianhui?"

In this setting, if she dared to admit that the title track was written for her, the reporters present would immediately accuse her of using her beauty to seduce the Central Plains.

Although Asa is young, he is very clear-headed.

So she instinctively denied it, "No! Xintong is prettier than me, it must have been written for her!"

"What's the title of the theme song that Zhongyuan Yidianhui wrote for you guys?"

The fourth question was posed to them.

Asa and Chung Hsin-tung exchanged a smile and announced in unison, "Super Star!"

The intro to the song began playing from the speakers at the press conference.

The catchy melody immediately drew surprised expressions from the reporters present. As Asa and Chung Hsin-Tung's voices emanated from the speakers, their expressions of surprise deepened.

"It sounds so good?"

"Rock?"

"A girl group singing rock?" "Wow, not bad!"

……

The reporters were surprised, but they all became excited.

Their intuition told them that this song was going to be a hit, and this news was going to be a hit too.

Zhongyuan Yidianhui, who wrote his first song in a crossover project, actually managed to create such a beautiful song.
Unfortunately, it was their first time hearing the song, and they didn't understand the lyrics clearly or their meaning.

But for most people, the meaning of the lyrics isn't really important; what matters is whether a song sounds good.

No matter how meaningful the lyrics are, a bad song is still garbage.

Conversely, even if the lyrics of a catchy song are meaningless, it doesn't prevent some listeners from liking it.

……

Following this press conference.

Soon, the news appeared on the Hong Kong internet, attracting the attention of many young people in Hong Kong and spreading to the mainland, Taiwan and other places.

Along with it, Cao Sheng's hit song "Super Star" was also released.

Hong Kong is a very special place for China.

Because this place was leased to England for a long period of time, many of the young people here are fluent in English, and some of them speak English much better than Mandarin.

As a result, the song title "Super Star" attracted the attention of some young people who follow Western pop music as soon as it appeared on the Hong Kong internet.

result?

When I listened to the song, I was surprised to find that, apart from the title, the lyrics were almost entirely in Chinese. The only English words that appeared in the lyrics seemed to be the two words in the title.

"Hanging up a sheep's head while selling dog meat?"

"Liar! Don't listen to this song! It's a Chinese song!"

"A speck of dust in the Central Plains? The novelist is too wicked!"

Why would a Chinese song have an English title? Is it because they're worried the Chinese song won't become popular?

"Is this how mainland Chinese people write songs?"

……

Similar comments quickly spread across the Hong Kong internet.

Of course, there was also excitement.

For example: "Asa and Xintong can actually sing rock? That's so cool!"

"I hereby declare that I am a fan of Asa!"

"Thank you to Zhongyuan Yidianhui for writing a song for Xintong!"

"Ah Hui wrote a song? Is Ah Hui going to take over all my entertainment? Not only does he write novels and screenplays, but he's also writing songs? That's amazing!"

"The top talent in mainland China truly lives up to his reputation!"

"A speck of dust in the Central Plains? Besides giving birth, what can't you do?"

……

When this song spread to Taiwan.

On the internet here, the song quickly began to be discussed. Compared to Hong Kong, there are more Cao Sheng fans here because Cao Sheng's novels were first published in Taiwan. Every book he wrote after that was first published in traditional Chinese by Taiwanese publishers, and it was always the first book to appear in front of Taiwanese fans.

So when the fans here learned that their favorite author, Zhongyuan Yidianhui, had actually written a title song for a girl group in Hong Kong, their curiosity was immediately piqued.

—Zhongyuan Yidianhui can write songs? What songs did he write? Are they songs about the motherland?

These days, in the eyes of many Taiwanese people, many people on the mainland not only can't afford tea eggs, but the songs they listen to and the movies they watch are basically all in the mainstream style.

Therefore, many people suspect that the songs written by Cao Sheng are also in the mainstream style.

result?

The song title "Super Star" surprised many people.

English name?
Does "superstar" mean a superstar? Which celebrity from mainland China is being referred to?
result?

Many people were stunned when they tried listening to it.

It's actually a love song that's so sweet it's sickening?

Are these two female singers from Hong Kong usually this love-obsessed? Do they really like a man to this extent?

wrong!

These lyrics were written by Zhongyuan Yidianhui. Is such a talented celebrity like Zhongyuan Yidianhui also so love-struck? So madly in love with a certain woman? Which manipulative woman is it that makes him so infatuated?
"Is Huang Qingya really that charming?"

On a Taiwanese internet forum, a post with this title quickly went viral.

Many of the book fans here have seen the news about Cao Sheng and know that his only publicly acknowledged girlfriend is named Huang Qingya. Some book fans have even seen photos of Huang Qingya.

However, Huang Qingya in the photo is static; while she is beautiful, her charm is limited.

Compared to the meticulously packaged beauties and celebrities in the media, Huang Qingya's appearance and temperament are not particularly outstanding.

But today, after hearing the lyrics of this song written by Zhongyuan Yidianhui, many of the book fans here suspect that the female protagonist in the song is his girlfriend, Huang Qingya.

Therefore, many people are curious whether Huang Qingya is really that charming.

Of course, only a small number of people are curious about this question.

Many people in Taiwan were surprised that Chung-Yuan Yi-Dian-Hui could write songs, and that his first song was so good.

……

When it comes to music, most people's aesthetic tastes tend to be similar.

Originally, after the release of "Super Star" in the summer of 2003, it was like a comet hitting the Pacific Ocean, creating huge waves and spreading ripples that quickly covered people across the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.

Not only did this song quickly become popular across mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, but its melody could also be heard everywhere in the streets and alleys of mainland China.

This also quickly propelled the three-woman group that sang the song to the top spot as the number one female group in China.

It has attracted the love and admiration of countless teenagers.

In this current timeline, Cao Sheng gifted the song to Asa, who sang it with Zhong Xintong. Their voices were quite good, and although the performance differed from the original, it was still beautiful and melodious.

It quickly won over many young people in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

When the song reached mainland China, it quickly became a hit on the mainland internet.

It's even more popular than in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Because the author of this song, Zhongyuan Yidianhui, is from mainland China, Cao Sheng wrote books for several years after his rebirth. Although the royalties he earned in mainland China were far less than what he earned in the traditional Chinese market.

However, the number of his book fans in mainland China actually far exceeds that in Taiwan and Hong Kong.

The reason is simple: there is too much population in mainland China.

The book fans in mainland China are just a bit poor, but their numbers are actually very large.

When "Super Star" was released in mainland China, it was quickly included by various music websites. For these music websites, they didn't need to ask anyone's permission to include any song they wanted.

The main point is to get something for free.

Then, the song naturally entered the view of countless netizens immediately.
