Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 491 Who is Cao Sheng's Super Star?

333Music.com is a popular mainland Chinese music website.

That afternoon, the website released "Super Star," not only making the song available but also giving it a prominent placement on the homepage.

The cover image features three figures: Asa on the left, wearing a white princess dress, and Chung Hsin-tung on the right, also wearing a white princess dress.

Between the two of them, Cao Sheng, dressed in a black suit, sat in a chair.

This is a photoshopped image!
Cao Sheng had never taken a photo like this with Asa and Zhong Xintong before, but the person who photoshopped the picture is very skilled, and most netizens can't tell that the picture is photoshopped.

What's even more amazing is that in the picture, Asa and Zhong Xintong are both looking at Cao Sheng, and a lyric is "floating" next to their mouths.

The lyrics that Asa was uttering were: "You are electricity, you are light!"

The lyrics that Zhong Xintong was reciting were: "You are the only myth!"

Above the three people's heads, the song title "Super Star" was displayed in gold lettering.

Below the gold song title, a text in bright red print reads: "Zhongyuan Yidianhui's first original song!"
This major promotion was so eye-catching that it quickly attracted tens of thousands of music lovers on the website. Within two hours, the song "Super Star" had climbed into the top ten of the website's new song chart.

The comment section below the song also displays thousands of comments.

For example: "Zhongyuan Yidianhui can write songs? Really?"

"Wow, Ah Hui is amazing! He's a jack-of-all-trades! It's one thing to be able to write novels, one thing to be able to write screenplays, but now he can even write pop songs? Is this guy really a college graduate? Is Huizhou Teachers College really that prestigious? Does anyone know how high the admission scores are for Huizhou Teachers College?"

"I just want to know if Ah Hui sexually harassed these two female singers?"

"Novelists really know how to play the game. They've really mastered the art of deceptive marketing! It's clearly a Chinese song, yet they've given it such an English name. Impressive!"

"Crossing over to another field? What does Zhongyuan Yidianhui want to do next?"

“I think every time Zhongyuan Yidianhui crosses over into another field, he’s satirizing everyone in that industry! Before, when he wrote screenplays, his achievements completely surpassed those professional screenwriters. Now he’s crossed over into songwriting, and it’s actually so good. Aren’t those professional songwriters ashamed?”

……

Qianqian Jingting is a very popular music player in this era.

That afternoon, it also included the song "Super Star" and quickly gained a large following.

……

Mainland music websites such as 536 Music and 666 Music responded quickly. Without needing to purchase music copyrights, they simply uploaded the song to their own websites, and that was it.

Therefore, "Super Star" quickly appeared on these music websites as well.

With its catchy melody and refreshingly romantic lyrics, the song quickly captured the hearts of countless young men and women.

Keep in mind that the term "simp" didn't even exist in this era.

In mainland China, regardless of gender, people take pride in pursuing romantic relationships with utmost effort and are ashamed of not pursuing them or not being devoted enough.

Countless works of art, including music, film and television dramas, and novels, praise the act of sacrificing one's life to please a member of the opposite sex. In this day and age, love that is not willing to die for a loved one is generally considered not to be true love.

Do not believe?

The popular 1996 TV series "One Curtain of Dreams" serves as proof.

This TV series became an instant hit across the country as soon as it aired. There was a particularly powerful line in the show that, when it was broadcast, not only did no one question whether the line was reasonable, but countless viewers were also moved and strongly agreed with it.

What was that line said?

"You've only lost a leg, but what about Zi Ling? She's lost her love!"

In this era, some women test whether a man truly loves them by asking him if he would be willing to die for them.

If a man hesitates even for a second when asked this question, it shows a lack of commitment to love. If he dares to say no, he can expect to be dumped!

In this social atmosphere, the lyrics of the song "Super Star" still feel refreshing to countless people.

Because the lyrics of this song take the concept of "licking boots" to a whole new level.

"You are electricity, you are light, you are the only myth..."

"You rule, I worship..."

"Where are you going? Take my soul with you! It's bewitched by you, what use is it to you?"

……

The entire lyrics are almost entirely about flattery, not only reaching new heights but also bringing unexpected new ideas, definitely at the forefront of the times.

Before this song, when had there ever been a song of this caliber in the Chinese music scene?
The key point is that it also sounds great.

This is dying.

Even seasoned bookworms who have read countless online novels can't resist the song's catchy tune.

Sure enough, that afternoon, many book fans praised the song in the book review section of Cao Sheng's "The Romance of Chinese Martial Arts".

The comments were varied and diverse.

For example: "Ah Hui is truly talented! His first songwriting attempt resulted in such a divine piece, amazing!" "What does it mean to be exceptionally talented? Before Ah Hui, who could write lyrics with such deep emotion? You are electricity, you are light, you are the only myth, so romantic!"

"Ah Hui, when are you going to sing another one? I can't wait! With your typing speed, writing lyrics for one song in your spare time should be a piece of cake, right? One more one!"

"Now I know why Ah Hui couldn't get into university. He must have put all his talent into Chinese. He's amazing at writing novels, screenplays, and now he's amazing at writing songs. He's an epic example of a student who excels in only one subject! If I could be that good at only one subject, I'd be willing to not get into university either."

"Ah Hui! When are you going to write a song praising brotherhood? I want to hear it!"

"Author! You're going further and further down the path of neglecting your duties! Where do you plan to go next?"

……

Huizhou TV Station.

As a television station, the staff here usually pay close attention to the entertainment industry and are always quick to notice entertainment news.

Sure enough, that afternoon, many people were discussing this song in the office building of Huizhou TV station.

It started as a topic of discussion among some young employees, and then gradually spread to all employees.

Jiang Xiaoshuang was engrossed in planning the next episode, even though it wasn't her job as the host to plan the show.

However, she has always been very serious about her work and wants to be an outstanding host. Therefore, for the interview program "On Stage with Frost", she prepared a plan on her own from the very first episode.

Her proposal was written from the perspective of a host.

The main planning involved figuring out how to guide celebrities with different personalities to open up during the recording of the show, and how to create some laughs, etc.

This afternoon, she was immersed in her inner world of working on a project proposal when suddenly, an excited young female colleague rushed into the office.

As soon as she entered, the female colleague excitedly asked, "Xiaoshuang! Xiaoshuang! Zhongyuan Yidianhui can write songs? Did you know he could write songs? Was the song 'Super Star' written for you? Ah? Tell me quickly! Did he write this song for you?"

Immediately, everyone in the office fell silent.

All eyes turned to Jiang Xiaoshuang, who looked up blankly.

Jiang Xiaoshuang frowned, observing everyone's reactions. She looked at her female colleague who had just rushed into the office and asked, "Xiao Hu, what are you saying? What song writing? What dead? Who died?"

Xiao Hu excitedly placed both hands on Jiang Xiaoshuang's desk, his face beaming. "It's not someone who died! It's 'Super Star'! It's a new song written by Cao Sheng, the guy you were rumored to be dating before. It's a really good song! It's sung by that twin girl duo from Hong Kong, it's really good! What? You haven't heard of it? You don't know he wrote this song?"

Jiang Xiaoshuang was filled with questions.

Cao Sheng?

Did you write a new song?
Did the servant die?

Who is Soupu?

Why did he write such a song to commemorate this servant?

A servant? A skinny servant? A skinny old man?

Which two characters are they?
Jiang Xiaoshuang was still in a daze when her other colleagues in the office gathered around her, asking Xiao Hu for details.

Xiao Hu was articulate and quickly explained the matter clearly.

Jiang Xiaoshuang blinked and gradually understood.

It turns out it wasn't some skinny guy who died, but rather the title of an English song, though it's actually a Chinese song written by Cao Sheng. The first line of the lyrics is: You are electricity, you are light, you are the only myth...

Out of curiosity, Jiang Xiaoshuang quickly found the song on her computer and listened to it.

The upbeat rhythm at the beginning of the song surprised her.

When the first line of lyrics was sung, she was even more surprised, because she was astonished to find that the song was actually really good.

After listening to the song the first time, she couldn't help but look up the lyrics. The second time she listened, she carefully read the lyrics as she listened.

Unlike others who felt the same way about the song, she looked at the lyrics and her expression gradually became complicated.

She was thinking: Who is Cao Sheng's Super Star?

Who exactly did he write this song for?
Which woman is so infatuated with him?
Is it me?
She didn't think so; she had never seen any infatuation in Cao Sheng's eyes.

Was it written to Huang Qingya?
It doesn’t seem so!
If he's really so obsessed with Huang Qingya, why would he have a relationship with me?
Was it another woman?
But if it were other women, why would he have had relationships with Huang Qingya and me one after the other? And why would he publicly announce that Huang Qingya was his girlfriend? With his fame, wealth, and looks, which woman couldn't he have pursued?

Could it be... that he's so infatuated with a married woman? Or perhaps a girl who already has a boyfriend?
Jiang Xiaoshuang subconsciously took out her phone, found Cao Sheng's number in her contacts, and wanted to call him to ask who he wrote this song for and why he was so obsessed with it.
She hesitated, not dialing Cao Sheng's number for a long time.

A moment later, she opened her phone's text message inbox, found the chat box with Cao Sheng, and wanted to send him a text message to ask him. She typed and deleted the new text message, editing it for a while, and then suddenly laughed at herself and deleted all the text messages she had edited.

……

Huizhou Writers Association.

Huang Qingya also heard the song "Super Star" that afternoon.

After listening to it once, she opened the lyrics and read them carefully several times. The more she read them, the more complicated her expression became.

She kept recalling the times she had made love with Cao Sheng, his passion, his wildness, and his fierceness, as if he wanted to send her to see her great-grandmother.

Did he... regard me as electricity, as light, as the only myth?
