Start with a pop song

Chapter 260 The Voice of Xia Kingdom; Performance for the People; "Human World"; "For Whom"; "Tomorrow Will Be Better"

"Sister, participating in the performance is fine, but there's no need to promote the donation, is there?"

"Why is it unnecessary? If it's a personal donation, you can keep it low-key, but why should a company donation be low-key?"

"Okay then, I'll listen to my sister."

Song Dao knew that there must be people around her who had complaints about the recent gaming incident.

In some people's eyes, games are harmful.

Let alone games, even online novels for entertainment can be cited by many as reasons for leading teenagers to engage in bad behavior.

Anyway, I'm not wrong, the world is wrong.

Therefore, some of her suggestions were not unfounded.

There are just some things I can't say directly to Song Dao.

So, on the evening of the 18th, the names of Fei Yang Music, Jingting Media, and Earth Pictures, along with a host of major Chinese companies, appeared in the anchor's announcements and in the scrolling subtitles on the screen during the evening news broadcast.

The official Weibo accounts of the three companies under the Fei Yang Group are completely silent, without any activity!

As a result, countless people went to the comments section to leave messages.

"No, we did a good deed, could we at least say something? If my husband hadn't seen it on the news and told me, I wouldn't have known!"

"An old man saw on the news that my idol Song donated a lot of money to that Fei Yang company. No, Brother Gou, aren't you being too modest?"

"The editors at Fei Yang's company should be fired! Such a big event, and you didn't say a word! Can't you at least do some publicity?"

"Those who do nothing stir up trouble; those who dedicate themselves silently remain silent."

"Some people, are you going to keep praising one and belittling another? This one deserves respect, that one doesn't? Is that interesting? See? This is what it means to be a responsible large corporation!"

"Those who criticized Song Dao before are all blind and deaf. How much has he done since his debut? He never talks about it. If it weren't for the news this time, the hundreds of millions of yuan he donated would have been given away so quietly..."

"Brother Gou played a game and you guys got him trending on social media for all the insults. Now his companies are donating money. Are you going to join in? We're not asking you to take more than you can afford, just what you can. Ten thousand yuan is no more, not a penny less. Here, show us screenshots of those who were insulting him."

Soon, these resourceful netizens uncovered other previously undisclosed information.

In this flood disaster, almost all of the artists under the Faye Wong Entertainment Group made various donations.

For example, Hu Wei quietly organized more than a dozen large trucks to send millions of yuan worth of supplies to the disaster area.

For example, Kong Xi, the "Flipping Cat Girl," donated one million yuan in cash to Xia Hong's foundation.

Because the Earth Foundation has a clearly defined scope, the people under the Fei Yang group either donated goods directly or donated cash to Xia Hong's foundation.

Furthermore, upon closer investigation, it was discovered that this was not the first time artists under Faye Wong's management had done this.

Back when this group of people were just starting to make money, they would quietly donate some money whenever a natural disaster struck.

From earning tens of thousands of yuan when I first started out, to hundreds of thousands of yuan when I became rich, and now to millions of yuan after I've truly become famous and made a lot of money.

Based on this information, netizens have even been able to compile a very clear... growth trajectory of Faye Wong's artists!
This touched the entire internet.

This incident also became a trending topic half an hour after the end of the evening news, when the first episode of "Voice of Xia" aired.

"Voice of Xia" must have been bought.

It was initially featured prominently on the front page, but was quickly pushed down.

#FeiYang's Series Touches the Hearts of China#
When such a trending topic appears on Toutiao, let alone whether it can be suppressed by force, even if it could, no one would dare to!
If you're not afraid of getting flamed, you can give it a try.

"I'm so touched. I remember someone saying before that the Fei Yang group makes so much money but never donates. I don't think anyone responded to that at the time."

"Charity knows no social class, and it's okay to talk about doing charity, but it still makes people a little uncomfortable. So it has to be this group from the Fei Yang faction. They're really awesome, I'm completely convinced!"

"My nose is a little sore. The first money Hu Wei donated was 20,000 yuan. Looking at the time, he had just released his first new song, right? It seems like he hadn't even had any commercial performances yet."

"From now on, I'll fight anyone who dares to smear Zhong Yutong! Look at this girl's donation records, they're practically overflowing... Also, does she have some kind of OCD? 999/9999/99999... My God, is she obsessed with the number 9?"

"No, am I the only one who finds this a bit strange? It's not that I suspect the receipts are fake, I'm just curious who leaked this information?"

"So what if someone leaked it? Anyway, from the official Weibo accounts of the companies under the Faye Wong Group to the artists under the Faye Wong Group, has anyone voluntarily posted a receipt?"

"Even if it's sunny, we still have to say 'Well done, girls!'"

Song Dao, Hu Wei, Leng Suning: Aren't we men?

The comments on the trending topics are absolutely explosive.

then.

With Xia Hong, who had been out of the public eye for a long time, posting a blog entry about water, this matter has been pushed to another level.

[I asked the donation records of artists under the Fei Yang Group to be released. They are too low-key, it breaks my heart! Song Dao, Lin Fei, Yan Yu, and others, one by one, never want to say what they have done.]

Even when they are being cyberbullied and subjected to various forms of ridicule, insults, and defamation, they don't want to talk about it.

[These younger brothers and sisters in the Fei Yang group have all followed the style of their bosses.]

I've thought about it too. The intention behind doing charity is to help those in need. It's okay to publicize it appropriately, but not excessively, otherwise it will give people the feeling of coercing donations. So I rarely talk about these things.

[But this time I'll be willful for them, not to encourage anyone to follow suit, but to tell those who keep slandering Fei Yang and her group of artists that artists are also human beings, just ordinary people.]

We can accept your disdainful use of the term "actors," but you'd better put your hands on your conscience and think carefully: have these actors brought joy to everyone? Have they ever hurt anyone?

We all say that no profession is inherently superior or inferior, but a person's character can vary greatly. You may choose not to do a certain profession, but please refrain from slandering others.

As Sister Hong's post was widely circulated, the trending topics exploded tonight.

Just like every previous incident, those who were criticizing Song Dao and the Fei Yang faction scattered like birds and beasts.

Posts were deleted, and videos were deleted.

Some live streamers were immediately overwhelmed by the insults.

The smart ones gritted their teeth and apologized, while the stubborn ones remained defiant, saying that one thing is one thing and the other is another.

"You can't say a murderer did nothing wrong just because he helped an old lady cross the street once, can you?"

A streamer who has been relentlessly criticizing Song for making games that are harmful to teenagers has been bombarded with criticism by netizens.

In a fit of anger, he blurted it out.

The statement itself is not wrong, but using it to describe Song Dao is really going too far.

The stream was immediately reported to the platform, resulting in the banning of not only the live stream room but also the account...

With the support of the evening news and the assistance of Sister Hong, the "game incident" that had caused a great stir for many days has finally come to an end.

Nobody mentioned it anymore.

Throughout the entire process, the Fei Yang faction did not offer a single response.

You can scold me or apologize to me.

It's all your business.

Song Dao disliked public opinion, and even more so, he disliked the manipulation of public opinion.

Even he, a transmigrator with "world cheat codes," was terrified of this thing.

Especially those in the entertainment industry must be more careful with their words and actions.

The higher you are praised, the harder you fall.

He wasn't playing games; instead, he was embracing two fragrant young girls and beautiful young women, watching "Voice of Xia" on Orange Channel.

……

To be fair, tonight's "Voice of China" was somewhat wronged.

It was clearly a high-quality music variety show with many highlights, but it was completely overshadowed by the trending topic of "Faye Wong's group".

Feeling wronged, it ranked second.

Fortunately, people quickly discovered the interesting aspects of the show.

"Hahaha, Dog Bro is awesome!"

"Dog Bro is awesome!"

"Let's tell you, what exactly does the Chinese entertainment industry belong to?"

"I'm dying of laughter! One singer came up and sang a song written by Song Dao, and then another one came up, and it was the same!"

"Liu Nian'an has such a stern face, he can't possibly live with a smile!"

"Song Dao: Although I'm not here in person, your main topic of conversation must be me!"

"Why do those who voted for Liu Nian'an seem so unwilling?"

"Does Liu Nian'an think he looks cool? Damn, his breath stinks and can be smelled for miles. He's so mean!"

"What's wrong with my Niannian? Those three mentors just debuted earlier and are all self-taught. How can they compare to my brother?"

"Holy crap, is that guy in front a fan or a hater? You try having your brother say 'Yin Hong, you scoundrel' to Teacher Yin's face and see what happens!"

"One fan is worth ten haters. The ancients were right. The quality of this person's fans is truly amazing!"

The family of three was watching the online channel of Orange TV, and the dense barrage of comments on it was even more entertaining than the program itself.

The production team did indeed edit the footage in post-production.

Chen Yu, who was originally intended to be the opening act, became the final contestant of this episode.

Otherwise, after listening to "A Game, A Dream," many people would probably just change the channel and leave.

In addition, the production team made some adjustments to the fact that no one chose Liu Nian'an in the first episode.

Move some of the background images to the front.

Then a certain number of bugs appeared.

Liu Nian'an didn't change her clothes.

However, the other three, Yin Hong, Chen Mingchuan and Ji Tingfeng, although their clothing styles were similar in each performance, still showed some differences if you looked closely.

The comments section was filled with laughter!
"I'm dying of laughter, it seems that rumor is true!"

"Hahaha, the rumors were true after all!"

"It's so embarrassing!"

"The trainees sang Song Dao's songs, but reluctantly chose someone else..."

"No, could you please explain yourself clearly?"

"Legend has it that no student chose Liu Nian'an in the first round!"

"If you look closely at the outfits of the other three mentors, this episode wasn't recorded in one take!"

"The production team edited it into a mashup!"

"I heard that Liu Nian'an didn't receive a single student in the first cohort!"

"Yes, yes, my friend was there."

The mature woman straightened up, took a large cherry from the fruit plate on the coffee table, bit off half of it, removed the pit, and handed the other half to Song Dao's mouth.

Seeing Song Dao open his mouth to take the bait, he laughed and said, "Serves him right. We don't even know him, yet he deliberately came up to us to stage an accident. Now, are we still going to try and bump into him?"

Lin Fei said from the other end of the line, "He's not stupid."

Yan Yu: "Don't tell me this is all just a publicity stunt?"

"Otherwise what?" Lin Fei said, "Many people in the entertainment industry who seem to behave strangely, apart from a very few who are truly brain-dead, all have ulterior motives."

"Black and red is also red?" Yan Yu found it a bit hard to understand.

"Just like those short videos you watch, no matter what the content is, the ultimate goal is the same: to monetize."

"I can understand, but there's something else I can't. Doesn't he realize that what he's doing could easily backfire?"

The mature and sophisticated woman understands the entertainment industry, but not that much.

Her upbringing, in particular, destined her to have an exceptional perspective on many things, but it also destined her to be unable to empathize or understand certain matters.

At this moment, Song Dao spoke up: "His target audience has never been people like us, but his fans!"

Yan Yu took another bite of a cherry and handed the flesh to Song Dao.

While eating, Song said, "By repeatedly abusing and purging his own fan base in this way, the more fiercely he is criticized outside, the more united his remaining loyal fans become, and the higher the probability of them blindly supporting him."

Lin Fei: "Yes, so to outsiders, this kind of person is sick, and the fans are sick too. But he gets the benefits, and the fans feel proud and honored to have protected their idol."

"Damn it." Yan Yu couldn't help but curse.

She had never quite understood why some people, who didn't seem that stupid, spoke and acted as if they didn't think at all.
So it's all to attract like-minded fans... the noise from the outside world doesn't matter at all.

—Serving only our target customers!
High, it is high!

Song Dao said, "Cats have their ways, mice have their ways, and everyone has their own way of surviving."

If a middle-aged person said this, they would most likely be criticized for being overly paternalistic.

However, coming from the mouth of a handsome and dashing young man like Teacher Song, it is thought-provoking, showing the composure and insight of a young man!

So what do you think?
"Is Chen Yu not coming out today?"

With the show halfway through and several newcomers already covering Fei Yang's songs, Yan Yu was getting anxious because she still hadn't seen Chen Yu.

"He'll be in it; he'll be the grand finale."

Before watching the show, Song Dao received a message from the deputy director of Orange TV who was in charge of the variety show segment.

This behavior doesn't really constitute a leak; it's just a way of currying favor.

really.

As the show drew to a close, Chen Yu finally appeared on stage.

The song "A Game, A Dream" was also displayed on the television screen.

At this moment, the number of comments on the screen suddenly surged!

It's enough to trigger trypophobia on the spot.

On the wall of the huge living room, the screen of the 160-inch television was densely covered with bullet comments.

Even Lin Fei and Yan Yu, who usually don't mind the comments, felt a chill run down their spines.

"Chen Yu is out!"

"Chen Yu!"

"I waited all night!"

"Haha, we've been waiting for him!"

Did he donate?

"Dog Brother's little apprentice."

"He hasn't even debuted yet, what's the point of donating anything?"

"I saw that they donated five thousand!"

"Holy crap, it's finally out..."

Unable to bear it any longer, Lin Fei picked up the remote and turned off the live comments.

I felt instantly at peace.

Song Dao and Yan Yu both breathed a sigh of relief.

In the high-definition footage, Chen Yu stands on the stage with a clean and neat appearance and upright posture.

Accompanied by a melodious prelude, the opening lines immediately catch the eye.

"Don't talk about separation. I won't cry because of it. It was just a dream last night..."

Yan Yu nodded slightly: "It sounds nice!"

Lin Fei: "It's not as good as Teacher Song's singing!"

Yan Yu: "That's right! Teacher Song, would you like to sing a line?"

Song arrived: "Watch the show!"

"Just one line, just one line!" the mature woman pleaded.

The scoundrel remained unmoved and refused to sing for her.

Actually, if they still had the live comments on right now, they would see a completely different style of video.

"Holy crap! Did we lift it too high?"

"It's too high!"

"It must have been raised too high!"

"This kid's a bit reckless..."

"You can tell how high you've set your sights by looking at your advisor's expression!"

Liu Nian'an is secretly laughing!

"What are you smirking about? He's glaring at him!"

However, as Chen Yu's voice rose higher and higher with each sentence, yet remained steady and mellow, full of storytelling, it began to resonate.

Some viewers were deeply moved.

From questioning whether someone had started too high to the barrage of comments praising the sound, it only took a few dozen seconds.

When the chorus came on, countless people exclaimed in surprise.

"That's awesome!"

"I've seen his videos before; he can sing 'A Man Should Be Self-reliant'!"

"Don't they even know whose apprentice he is!"

"Brother Gou is so good to his apprentices!"

"This song is absolutely amazing!"

"The lyrics and music are amazing!"

After the song was finished, the entire audience erupted in applause.

Then we saw the three mentors who had been sitting calmly all night start various contestant recruitment rounds.

The scene of several big shots joking with each other was quite interesting.

The production team, known for creating drama, would occasionally focus their cameras on Liu Nian'an.

This time, the shot is a "long shot," moving from far to near.

Liu Nian'an's unpleasant expression was clearly visible.

Just as many people were joking about Liu Nian'an's stern face while believing that Chen Yu would definitely choose Yin Hong.

It was finally Liu Nian'an's turn to speak.

then--

"The style is old, but it's still okay."

"The voice lacks emotion, and the emotions are not there."

“I don’t like me just showing off my skills, so you don’t need to choose me.”

When these words came out of Liu Nian'an's sweet-talking mouth, the live chat exploded!

At this moment, Lin Fei also turned on the bullet screen function.

"Are you crazy?"

"Is he sick?"

"No, you think you're the only one who understands music?"

"You think three big shots know as much as three big shots?"

"Are all the audience members idiots?"

Can you sing?

"Is Liu Nian'an referring to himself?"

"I've learned a lot today."

"Singing so well, and you call that showing off?"

"Is having a good voice a crime?"

Almost 90% of the comments were furiously criticizing Liu Nian'an.

The rest were indifferent bystanders and Liu Nian'an's fans.

It's clear that those fans have put in a lot of effort.

They frantically washed their brother's clothes.

They say strange things like: My brother is right, no one knows music better than him, Chen Yu is no good, he sings terribly, he's too old-fashioned.

But these voices have no effect on those who are moved and attracted by this song.

Chen Yu has such a great voice!
It's not that everyone will like his style; after all, everyone has their own aesthetic sense.

However, even the most discerning person has to admit that this young man is indeed quite capable.

Singing such high notes is as easy as eating and drinking.

Moreover, the song's sense of sorrow without resentment and its free and unrestrained spirit resonated with many young people.

That's true, isn't it? Why make such a fuss about dating?

Life is nothing more than a game, a dream.

There's no need to be too attached to or take too seriously many things; just be happy.

"Chen Yu should have succeeded!" Lin Fei glanced at the text on the screen and then turned it off again.

After Chen Yu finally chose Chen Mingchuan, the old king of the same clan, Chen Mingchuan's casual twists and turns also caught the attention of countless people.

After the program ended.

Despite the fact that the premiere of Voice of China was still overshadowed by the group charity activities of the "Feiyang faction," the trending topics were still dominated by the news.

However, its popularity should not be underestimated.

The three mentors used every trick in the book to recruit contestants. Liu Nian'an dissed Song Dao again on stage, mocked Chen Yu, who has a naturally golden voice, and... Song Dao, who was not present but whose presence was felt everywhere, sparked a frenzy of discussion among netizens.

Just as Song Dao and Lin Fei said, Liu Nian'an is indeed a unique figure in the Xia Kingdom's entertainment industry.

He was indeed using that method to repeatedly wash the powder.

The selected fans are indeed very powerful.

Even when ridiculed by the entire internet and attacked by countless people, they not only do not disperse, but are still able to launch an effective counterattack.

This is also why Yin Hong didn't give Chen Yu another chance to speak that day.

Liu Nian'an's fans are no match for top celebrities like Song Dao and Lin Fei.

But against a young novice like Chen Yu, it is extremely lethal.

The production team, which was focused on cultivating good relations with the Fei Yang faction, didn't cause any trouble on this issue.

What was presented through the camera was only Liu Nian'an, the "mentor," making all sorts of impolite and extremely excessive comments.

Chen Yu, on the other hand, maintained a polite expression throughout, but there was a hint of grievance in his eyes.

So why should a person be strong themselves?
If Orange TV hadn't been so eager to befriend Song Dao, they could have ruined Chen Yu on this show!

……

the next morning.

When Song woke up in the morning, she received another call from Zhou Qian.

"Little brother, this flood is quite serious. The higher-ups want us to write a charity song before we go to the resettlement site to offer our condolences."

"Huh? What do you mean? I don't quite understand?"

Because this performance will be held tonight!
Zhou Qian organized her thoughts and said, "Everyone knows you have an amazing creative ability. So, could you write a song right now, and then at the end of tonight's performance, have a big sing-along to boost morale?"

She continued, "I know this request is a bit difficult, but here's what I'm thinking: since you've entered the gaming industry, which has always been criticized, let's produce something that people can praise, um... you know what I mean."

To put it simply, this is like putting multiple protective charms on yourself so that you can perfectly defend against various magical attacks.

Actually, he already has a lot of protective charms on him.

However, these things are time-limited.

Over time, people will forget.

Even the currently trending news of "Feiyang Group's low-key charity work" will soon be forgotten.

Of course, the things done don't have to be erased.

However, if there are always new ones, the armor on your body will become thicker and thicker.

After agreeing, Song did not hesitate and immediately "created" a song.

Lin Fei and Yan Yu watched from the side.

Eyes are getting brighter and brighter.

Teacher Song is just so lovable!
No, I absolutely love it!

……

It's about ten o'clock in the morning.

Earth Pictures chartered a commercial airliner, which departed from Beijing.

On this plane were not only a large number of artists who were in Beijing and had previously participated in this charity performance, but also staff members from the news channel and arts channel of Xiamen TV.

This special performance tonight will be broadcast live simultaneously on the news channel and the arts channel!
Many staff members had already gone there in advance to make arrangements; the rest were originally supposed to buy plane tickets and fly there themselves.

The same applies to these celebrities.

However, Earth Pictures chartered a plane and sent the message to these individuals and organizations.

Everyone cancelled their plane tickets.

Many people subsequently posted about it on their WeChat Moments and Weibo.

[Thanks to Earth Pictures, and thanks to Mr. Song for chartering the plane, we're off to a live performance!]

[Thanks to Teacher Song, who chartered a commercial airliner to fly with us in economy class to the disaster relief site.]

The text, accompanied by the picture, immediately went viral and became a trending topic.

As always, Song Dao, Lin Fei, and the entire Fei Yang faction remained completely silent on the matter.

Upon seeing this, people from major airlines quickly reported the news.

Subsequently, the official accounts of various airlines posted messages, first offering full refunds to artists who went to the disaster area to participate in the relief performance; secondly, offering free airfares to artists from other places who were going to participate in the performance.

At last.

Earth Pictures' chartered flight, "Xiaguo Airlines," boldly declared that all expenses would be waived!

The entire internet erupted in applause.

Are the major airlines just trying to ride the wave of popularity?

Actually, it is.

Take this opportunity to build your own image.

But as I said before, any good deed deserves praise.

After all, even if they do nothing, people who need to take a plane still have to take one.

However, Xia Guo Airlines scored a big score this time.

This free trip can actually cost a lot.

At noon, the plane landed at an airport in the south.

No one ate.

They took a bus directly to the scene.

It wasn't until after 4 p.m. that we arrived at one of the largest resettlement sites for the flood disaster.

You'll never know the horror of natural disasters until you come here.

These buses were able to get in because countless soldiers had temporarily built bridges and paved roads.

Even so, for the last two kilometers, everyone got off the bus and walked!

These people were given boots and raincoats while they were on the road.

The bumpy road, stretching for at least several dozen kilometers, caused many people to get carsick.

Lin Fei also slept on Song Dao's shoulder the whole way.

He couldn't eat anything in the car and looked unwell.

However, after getting off the bus and breathing in fresh air, she quickly recovered.

Some of the older people were really worn out.

The group helped each other and struggled to complete the last two kilometers.

Upon arriving at the resettlement site, everyone was quite taken aback.

It's no longer the simple tent it was many years ago.

Even simple tents are something that many developed countries in the world still cannot provide today!
Looking at the rows of neat prefabricated houses in front of me.

An orderly scene of daily life, with a mobile food truck not far away.

And there was no scene as one might have imagined: people temporarily housed here after their homes were destroyed by the flood, looking disheveled and dirty.

Everyone was stunned.

However, there is a stark contrast here.

The people were all clean and tidy, and apart from generally looking somewhat haggard and having sadness in their eyes, it was almost impossible to tell that they were a group of people who had just lost their homes.

Many innocent and carefree children were even quite happy because they were finally free from school.

In contrast, countless soldiers were truly disheveled and unkempt.

Not only soldiers, but also officers.

His camouflage uniform was filthy, covered in mud.

Many of them still had mud on their faces and their hair was a mess, like a bird's nest; they looked like they had just come down from the front lines.

When Song arrived, he saw a general with gold flowers on his shoulder insignia. His boots looked like they were filled with water. He was sitting on the ground without any regard for his image, taking off his shoes and pouring water out.

Seeing so many buses coming, I felt a little embarrassed and secretly turned my back to them.

The soldiers, too, ran far away as soon as they saw the convoy approaching.

At this time, the person in charge of the "base", as well as the leaders of the central station who had arrived in advance, and several local leaders came over and asked the reception staff to take care of accommodating the group of celebrities.

Almost none of the people who came brought assistants.

Xiao Bai was also left at home by Song.

There's no shortage of resources here, but accommodation is a bit tight. We're here to offer our condolences, not to enjoy ourselves.

In this matter, everyone who was invited was someone who knew what was going on.

Although the situation is now nearing its end, the danger has not been completely eliminated.

There's nothing wrong with the resettlement site itself, but the road they came from could still be washed away at any time.

"Thank you all for your hard work, teachers. We eat together in a communal kitchen here, so you must all be hungry. Please eat something first and then rest. The soldiers have worked so hard for so many days, and they are just as happy as these civilians to hear that you are coming!"

The person in charge here, Number Two of the State, looked at Song Dao and his group with a kind expression and said.

Song glanced at it and saw that the leader's boots were also covered in mud.

You could clearly tell from her complexion that she hadn't rested well.

Once such a massive flood occurs, affecting hundreds of thousands or even millions of people across the state, no one can live in peace.

The reason for arranging this performance was that even an iron man can break down after days of intense work.

Some people's mental state was so bad that they needed to see a psychologist after the disaster.

Listening to music and watching performances can at least help you relax a lot. Among the group of people who came, there were quite a few from Fei Yang's faction, not just Lin Fei and Song Dao.

Yin Hong, Chu Peining, Qin Lang, and Xia Hong all arrived.

Jiang Ying, Shi Yuyan, Hou Tianwei, Zhang Huan, and Bi Xuefeng were all present.

Among the young people, there are Hu Wei and the two youngsters from the Fei Yang group, Zhu Que Legend.

There's also Teacher 7.

Kong Xi, Zhong Yutong, Chen Meng, Xue Lin, and others are currently recording a variety show for Northeast TV.

They're still deep in the mountains and forests, so they really can't get out.

Besides the Fei Yang group, many artists from the film and music industries also came.

Wang Xiaobo and Sun Kai also came.

These two top celebrities are both really good people, and they're also smart.

He also did not bring an assistant.

At this moment, many people gathered around to watch.

The group sat on small plastic stools, holding simple lunch boxes, chatting with the bolder members of the crowd while eating something.

After the meal, the group was settled in a temporary military dormitory.

Four people per room.

Many people were surprised to see the clean and tidy room.

How do the Curious Warriors maintain their composure?
One of the people in charge explained, "After these makeshift houses are built, most people won't have much time to come back and live there."

Someone couldn't help but ask, "So where will you stay? You can't work non-stop, can you?"

The person in charge said, "They've basically been working non-stop. It's only been a couple of days since things got a little safer. Before that, there was always the risk of the dike breaking. Most of the soldiers worked for more than ten hours at a time. When they were too tired, they would sleep in makeshift tents by the river, not even daring to take off their clothes. As for this place, it's mainly used to resettle the people."

After he said this, many people showed expressions of heartache.

One actor, who was participating in such a visit for the first time, remarked, "Seeing it on TV and being there in person are completely different experiences. Our soldiers have it so tough!"

Everyone around him was deeply moved.

"Yes, the people are always the top priority, and I think they have been taken care of very well."

"Were there any casualties this time?" someone suddenly asked.

The officer in charge of receiving them paused for a moment, then said, "Because the civilians were evacuated in time, there were no casualties. One of our soldiers was swept away during the rescue operation, and we didn't find him until two days later..."

The room fell silent immediately after he said that.

Despite the immense disaster, no civilians were injured or killed, but one soldier was killed in the process.

Everyone's feelings were complicated.

Many people teared up on the spot.

The receiving officer said, "So many people are feeling very heavy-hearted, and we hope that all the teachers can cheer them up!"

He looked at Song Dao and said somewhat shyly, "After we found our fallen comrade, we contacted the Earth Foundation. His family is facing some financial difficulties; he has a younger brother in school. We want to try to help him as much as possible..."

Many people, upon hearing these words and seeing the simple and somewhat embarrassed officer, couldn't help but shed tears on the spot.

Song Dao solemnly replied, "That's only right. That's the very reason the Earth Foundation exists. Nobody wants to see such a tragedy happen, but if it does, please contact us immediately."

The officer silently saluted, said thank you, and then turned and left.

……

This group of people was already exhausted and stressed, and then they heard this depressing news.

The atmosphere became very heavy.

After resting quietly for a few hours, I received a notification around 5 p.m. that the performance was about to begin.

A light drizzle was falling from the sky at that moment.

Dark clouds loomed overhead.

On the makeshift stage that had been temporarily set up on site, staff were busy conducting final checks.

The staff at the main control room were also debugging the equipment.

Actually, the situation here has been broadcasting live these past few days.

The broadcast station was broadcasting the live footage almost continuously.

However, the news of the fallen soldier was not released.

Until the performance began.

First thing.

It was a moment of silence to mourn the fallen soldier.

Those watching the live broadcast then learned that someone had tragically lost their life in the disaster.

The barrage of comments, which was already full of "Go for it!", was suddenly flooded with messages of "condolences".

But life goes on.

The atmosphere at the scene showed that everyone, both military and civilian, was really looking forward to this disaster relief performance.

The artists who participated in this performance did not disappoint.

Despite feeling somewhat saddened by the news that afternoon, I still gave my best performance.

The first one to go on stage is Lin Fei!
Although the diva has participated in similar performances before, this is her first time being present in person.

Her eyes were a little red, and she had lost much of her usual aloofness, but her face was still stunningly beautiful, and when she opened her mouth, it was a heavenly voice.

Her new song, written by Song Dao, instantly brought tears to the eyes of many soldiers and civilians at the scene, as well as those watching the live broadcast on their screens.

"After the storm, there isn't always a clear sky; and sunshine doesn't always guarantee a rainbow..."

Yes.

In this world, there is never a rainbow after the storm.

The camera then focuses on the soldiers sitting properly on small plastic stools.

This visual language instantly evoked a thought in everyone.

They are the "rainbow" of this country!
You don't have to wait until the storm is over; you can see them right when the storm is at its peak!
Those young, even somewhat immature, faces were filled with determination.

Once they change out of their clothes, they're actually just a bunch of big kids.

But once you put on this military uniform, you become the backbone of the nation!

"May your eyes only see smiles, and may every tear you shed touch others' hearts..."

The reason for choosing this song to start is because everyone is here to offer condolences, not to hurt their feelings.

Lin Fei was the first to go up, partly because everyone loved both her face and her voice.

As she sang this song, the atmosphere at the venue gradually warmed up.

After Lin Fei finished singing "Human World," she did not leave the stage. Amidst enthusiastic applause, Song Dao, who followed her onto the stage, received even more thunderous applause.

After Song Dao and Lin Fei bowed to the audience,

He didn't say much.

As the intro began, Lin Fei picked up the microphone—

"Mud covered his trouser legs, and sweat soaked through his back..."

This shout startled many people in the audience.

Lin Fei actually used a folk singing style?
Although many people have known that Lin Fei and Song Dao are very talented, they had never used this singing style before.

That bright voice gives people a strong sense of affinity and appeal.

Even Chu Peining and Qin Lang, who were waiting in the wings, were slightly taken aback.

Then they looked at each other.

This song... seems more suitable for the two of us to sing.

However, everyone knows that the time was too short; from the moment they received the news to their departure, there was simply no time to prepare.

Even the top-notch choral song that Song composed on short notice that morning, they only received the lyrics and music on the plane.

Upon hearing Lin Fei sing those two lines of lyrics, the soldiers present, who had been sitting upright, couldn't help but subconsciously look at their trouser legs.

Except for a few who had just returned, the vast majority of people had already changed into clean clothes.

However, there are still some people who are dirty and unkempt.

Which of the photographers at CCTV isn't a seasoned veteran?
The camera immediately focused on these people.

From front to back!

The mud on their trouser legs and the backs of some people, clearly showing signs of sweat, immediately moved countless viewers of the live stream.

Teacher Song is still the same Teacher Song.

A god-like man.

This song... was it created on the spot again?

The next moment, Song Dao's powerful baritone voice rang out, giving countless people a jolt of energy.

"I don't know who you are, but I know who you are fighting for."

Lin Fei: "For whom? For the autumn harvest? For the return of the wild geese in spring?"

Song Dao: "With a heart full of passion, I sing of a youth without regrets. I look to the ends of the earth, wondering when my comrades will return."

"who are you?"

"For whom?"

When will my comrade return?

"who are you?"

"For whom?"

"My brothers and sisters do not shed tears."

"Who is the most beautiful, and who is the most tired."

"My fellow villagers, my comrades-in-arms, my brothers and sisters~"

Blasted!

When the song reached the line "When will my comrade return?", a large number of people in the audience, and almost all the soldiers, couldn't hold back their emotions.

Tears rained down.

Even without that fallen soldier, the audience couldn't hold back their emotions when the two sang this song.

Having personally experienced such a disaster, I realized just how adorable these most adorable people truly are.

Only those who have personally participated in such disaster relief efforts and know how difficult and tiring it is can truly understand how moving this song is.

Even those who witnessed it firsthand, without experiencing it or participating in it, couldn't hold back their emotions.

Some officers and leaders sitting in the front row, as well as many staff members on site, had tears welling up in their eyes instantly.

Those watching the live stream were also deeply moved.

This song is so well written!

The key is that Lin Fei and Song Dao are both incredibly talented singers.

The song was filled with deep emotion.

At this moment, the comments section is filled with words like "tears in my eyes" and "moved".

The comments section was filled with emotion.

"My God, this is sung by Song Dao and Lin Fei?"

"I couldn't help but cry when I heard it, it was so touching."

"Song Dao's lyrics are so well-written, so vivid and expressive, that soldiers simply couldn't hold back their emotions!"

"Another classic military song!"

"Thinking about the moment of silence everyone observed for the fallen soldier before the program started, I couldn't stop my tears."

"Some people are carrying heavy burdens, and some people are telling us that others are carrying heavy burdens!"

"During the war, our martyrs faced the enemy's planes and cannons with their own flesh and blood, and fought hard to create a peaceful and prosperous world for us; in peacetime, it is still this same group of people who continue to use their own flesh and blood to fight wildfires and floods for us, and bring us a peaceful and happy home. Thank you, and thank you Song Dao for making us more deeply aware of these things."

"Some scum, do you see this? This is what you call actors! This is what they are doing! These actors you speak of are trying to let everyone know that soldiers are getting their trousers covered in mud and their backs soaked with sweat for whom they are fighting!"

"This song is so touching. We've seen all your hard work. Thank you! My dearest people!"

……

On the simple stage, looking at the dark mass of soldiers below, secretly wiping their eyes, and at the large but orderly crowd, I saw...

Song's emotions were also churning violently.

These are the descendants of Yan and Huang.

This is the tradition of this nation!

No matter what time or space you are in, nothing will change.

The intense emotions conveyed in his voice were clearly perceptible to everyone.

Therefore, after he and Lin Fei finished singing this song, the audience erupted in prolonged and enthusiastic applause.

This is also the highest respect that these most lovable people pay to the person who writes and sings songs to praise them!
These kinds of performances usually don't last very long, plus there are a lot of artists participating.

Song Dao and Lin Fei did not perform many acts.

After stepping down.

Chu Peining and Qin Lang stopped the two of them.

The eldest sister was very direct: "Qin Lang and I are going to record a version of this song too!"

Qin Lang: "This song is amazing!"

Song nodded: "Okay, it's just that the time was too tight this time, otherwise I would have just let you sing it."

Chu Peining: "See, Lao Qin, I told you so!"

Song said, "Big sister, Brother Qin, after this performance, let's get together and I'll write a few more songs for you."

The two older siblings, who were initially feeling a bit down, suddenly became quite excited upon hearing this.

He readily agreed.

Today it is today.

Although Song Dao is still very young, he has already achieved great success.

Whether for the purpose of "spreading" or to help the kind older brothers and sisters around him who have been so good to him since he came into this world, he should take some time to write more songs for them.

Some songs, young people just can't sing them with the same feeling.

Only those who lived through that era can truly understand the emotions hidden in the lyrics.

As time went on, almost all the artists who participated in the performance today went on stage to perform.

Songs, dances, poetry recitations... although not everyone can be like Song Dao and Lin Fei, who can deliver a perfect performance without rehearsal and just go on stage.

But whether at the scene or watching the live broadcast, everyone felt the deep sincerity.

Even top celebrities like Wang Xiaobo and Sun Kai are singing live.

Even though her singing skills were average, she still received enthusiastic applause.

Among the young soldiers, there are quite a few who like them.

Just when everyone thought that today's special performance was about to end.

The real climax, the biggest and grand finale of the whole night, is here!
……

The host from CCTV delivered some opening remarks with a heartfelt expression, then said into the microphone, "Next up, there's another song. Speaking of the creation of this song, we have to mention one person..."

After a whole night of performances, the atmosphere at the venue had been stirred up.

Many soldiers and civilians almost unanimously said—

"Song has arrived!"

The online comments were all filled with those two words.

The host said, "Although I already knew that Teacher Song was very talented in songwriting, I was still quite shocked when I saw the lyrics to this song. They are so well written!"

"Now, please welcome all the artists to the stage to present this song that Teacher Song just composed this morning."

Tomorrow will be better!

Although the stage was temporary, its sturdiness was not an issue.

With so many stars on stage, there weren't enough microphones, so several people had to share one.

But it's okay, there are also some with stands.

Several of the hosts were also holding sheet music.

These top students from the Communication University of China are mostly quite good at singing and dancing.

At this moment, those watching the live broadcast were probably even more curious than the audience at the scene.

They were all seeing the subtitles displayed on the screen.

Tomorrow Will Be Better

Lyrics by: Water Strikes Three Thousand

Composer: Shui Ji San Qian

Performed by Song Dao and other stars.

Good guy!
The front desk was very authoritative; apart from Song, everyone else was told to "wait."

No matter what kind of superstar you are, you still have to "wait"!
In other words, this is the prestige Song Dao has.

It was earned through hard work and strength.

To be able to create such a song in such a short time, one truly deserves this treatment.

……

on the stage.

Song Dao politely declined to speak to Lin Fei, Yin Hong, Chu Peining, Xia Hong, and others.

In the end, he and Lin Fei stood in the "C" position.

"Gently awaken your sleeping soul, slowly open your eyes."

Lin Fei was the first to speak this time.

It was still that ethereal, heavenly sound.

Because of the atmosphere and the emotions at that moment, Lin Fei's magnetic voice was far more emotionally rich than when she sang in her usual way.

"Let's see if this busy world is still spinning on and on, all alone."

Following closely behind was Song Dao's even more magnetic and mellow voice, which seemed to carry a powerful force that could soothe the soul.

Xia Hong: "The spring breeze, oblivious to romance, stirs the heart of a young man."

Jiang Ying: "Let the tear stains on my face from yesterday dry with the memories."

Yin Hong: "Look up and search for the wings of the sky, and you'll see the traces of migratory birds."

Qin Lang: "Bringing news that the distant disasters, the merciless water and fire, still exist."

Song made some changes to the lyrics here.

He is now adept at making adjustments based on time, place, and different environments.

Moreover, it is said that the original version of this song was permanently banned.

The original version of "The Godfather" by Lo Ta-yu nearly made the island's authorities explode with rage...

A light drizzle was still falling from the sky, and the air was slightly chilly.

These celebrities did not dress up as they usually do for performances.

Their attire was very formal and conservative.

Infected by the atmosphere throughout the night, everyone's emotions were quite high.

When singing this song, they almost all performed at a level far exceeding their usual standards!

Even Wang Xiaobo and Sun Kai, as well as other actors who are not professional singers, sang with great emotion.

While lyrics, music, and melody are important for a song, the emotion is actually even more important!
Especially a song full of love like this.

When everyone sang together, everyone in the audience couldn't help but wave their arms along.

"Sing out your passion, stretch out your hands and let me embrace your dreams, let me see your true face."

"Let our smiles be filled with the pride of youth, and let us offer our sincere prayers for tomorrow."

On stage, everyone held a sheet of lyrics and music, their expressions serious and focused, their voices full of emotion.

This scene touched and moved everyone!

The melody of this song is actually quite simple.

As early as when everyone was singing the first verse, staff from the main station were already on site with a large number of freshly printed lyrics and scores.

It was distributed to the soldiers and civilians.

As a result, the song quickly became a sing-along for the entire audience.

This kind of massive chorus, whose sound can be heard for miles, even inspires those who are tone-deaf to sing along loudly.

Even countless people watching the live stream couldn't help but sing along.

This song is really great!
……

"Teacher Song, thank you so much! This performance was a great success, a super success, an exceptional success!"

After the show.

At the original command post, the on-site director shook hands with Song Dao and said, "You deserve at least one-third of the credit!"

Actually, he only wanted to say half of what he wanted to say.

"Don't say that, it's the result of the joint efforts of all the teachers."

This is not modesty; in his opinion, everyone who came to participate in this performance was outstanding.

"Did you know? The viewership ratings for you and Teacher Lin on stage, and the final chorus, were almost as high as the Spring Festival Gala!"

The director said excitedly, "News just came from Beijing: tonight, official charities have received over 10 billion yuan in donations!"

Song was somewhat surprised.

During the performance, the host did not solicit donations from the audience.

The director remarked with some emotion: "True charity doesn't necessarily require shouting at the top of your lungs. As long as you do it, people will naturally see it and recognize it."

Afterwards, many leaders came over to express their gratitude to everyone who participated in the performance that evening.

The local state leaders also expressed their apologies.

This kind of environment and this kind of time is not suitable for hosting a banquet.

Everyone expressed their understanding.

The purpose of this visit is to help everyone relax and unwind, not to cause trouble or create chaos.

Therefore, everyone simply ate a bite of the communal meal prepared there and then rested in the soldiers' rooms.

……

Early the next morning.

The group boarded a bus and headed back.

A large number of people spontaneously came to deliver the gifts.

The roadside was packed with people.

Despite their haggard appearance, the many people who lost their homes still looked at them with eyes full of gratitude.

The celebrities all rolled down their car windows and waved goodbye.

On the way home.

The road was still bumpy.

A light drizzle was still falling from the sky.

However, everyone's mood was very different from when they arrived.

Looking out the window at the scene, Lin Fei said softly, "It's truly a blessing to be born into this nation."

Song Dao said, "Yes, diligence, optimism, and perseverance."

Lin Fei gently took Song Dao's hand: "Did you sleep well last night?"

Song said, "It's alright. I didn't even dare to unfold the blanket. It was folded too neatly. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to restore it properly, and I would feel ashamed to let the soldiers down..."

Lin Fei: "We did too. None of us opened the blankets. They were so clean and tidy!"

As everyone returned, a large number of feelings, insights, and photos accumulated during the performances quickly spread across the internet.

The tidy environment inside the makeshift shelter; the blankets folded into neat squares; the simple smiles on the faces of the soldiers taking a group photo, their clothes covered in mud; the large pot of food that looked especially appetizing; the people who had lost their homes but remained optimistic; the children playing...

Song Dao and others gathered to discuss the details of the performance; the general's silhouette as he emptied the water from his boots; the focused figures on stage, each holding a sheet of lyrics and music...

There are so many inspiring and touching details!

These photos were quickly collected and organized by kind-hearted people, and then set to the music of "Tomorrow Will Be Better" to create a video.

The number of likes exceeded one million within ten minutes!
The hashtag #TomorrowWillBeBetter quickly trended on social media, encompassing everything about the entire disaster relief performance.

Meanwhile, the surge in charitable donations related to this performance was also announced by the news channel of Summer TV.

Accompanying.

It is the "complete openness" of all major official charitable organizations in the Xia Kingdom.

The use of every single expense throughout the year will be made completely public.

Accept public oversight.

This action garnered widespread praise across the internet.

When Song Dao saw the news on the plane, he was also a little surprised.

But mostly I felt happy.

Ultimately, there is progress, and that's good.

……

The second night after returning to the capital.

At Yin Hong's house.

Chu Peining, Qin Lang, Lin Fei, Yan Yu, Song Dao, Xia Hong and others gathered together.

Almost everyone else was busy with work.

People like Jiang Ying and Hu Wei put aside their work to attend the event.

As soon as that was over, I immediately threw myself back into my busy work.

When Xia Hong heard that her younger brother was going to write songs for Chu Peining and Qin Lang, she immediately became anxious.

She moved closer to Song Dao, looking at him pitifully.

Song Dao was somewhat speechless: "Sis, you have so many classic songs, you're not lacking in talent, are you?"

Xia Hong: "Who? Who has more classic songs? Without a few songs composed by Shui Ji San Qian, who dares to say they have more classic songs?"

Yin Hong couldn't help but laugh, "Look at you!"

Xia Hong glared at him: "Hey, don't just stand there and talk like you don't know what's going on. I'm just asking one question: do you want Song Dao's song or not?"

Yin Hong: "I want to."

Xia Hong sneered: "Isn't that enough? What are you pretending for?"

Chu Peining and Qin Lang, the two "soon-to-be beneficiaries," wore happy smiles.

Today they not only get a new song, but they also get to cover a version of "For Whom".

Just don't be too happy.

The three songs that Song Dao performed were all of extremely high quality.

Lin Fei's song "Human World" has climbed to number two on the charts.

The number one spot... is, of course, Song Dao's "The Seventh Chapter of the Night"!
Recently, this song has been showing a "reverse decline" trend, similar to the box office performance of "The Monkey King".

As it gained popularity, more and more people came to like it.

On the overseas version of Jingting Music, it also far surpasses other songs on the charts, leading them by a huge margin.

Then there are "For Whom" and "Tomorrow Will Be Better".

These two songs, appearing at this particular point in time and sung by Song Dao and Lin Fei, have an impact that even surpasses Song Dao's original timeline.

Even on the very night it was released, many people had already contacted Fei Yang Le Zhang, wanting to buy the cover rights.

Today, Song Dao's image as a top-tier scholar has been thoroughly ingrained in people's minds.

People have long formed a "fixed" impression of him.

It feels like there's no song that Song couldn't write.

Even if Xia Hong hadn't said anything, Song Dao would have written a few more poems for this older sister whenever he had the chance.

These old friends around me may seem like peripheral members of the Fei Yang group, but in reality, they have already signed some contracts with Fei Yang and are no longer peripheral members.

They are our true friends.

Song Dao smiled and said to Xia Hong, "Don't worry, Sister Hong, I'll definitely get you a new song on the Spring Festival Gala this year!"

Hongjie was initially pleasantly surprised, but then she froze.

Amidst the bursts of laughter from Chu Peining, Qin Lang, and Yin Hong, he looked at Yan Yu and Lin Fei with a mournful expression: "Sisters, he bullied me! This guy, it's only March, and he's already making me feel like it's Chinese New Year?"

Chu Peining: "Hong, everything has its order. Let him write ours first, and then he can write yours. Maybe he'll write something even better for you!"

Qin Lang: "Yes, after all, it takes time to mature, just like fine wine, the longer it ages, the better it becomes!"

Xia Hong: "I don't believe you two at all!"

She looked at Song Dao and said, "Little brother, I'm cooking for you today, so just tell me what you want to eat!"

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves.

Yin Hong quipped from the side, "Alright, forget about your cooking skills. I'm afraid that after eating your food, Teacher Song will only be running to the toilet and won't have the energy to write songs."

Xia Hong: "Nonsense, I can cook! I just don't usually show it off. None of you are qualified to do so!"

Then he looked at Song and said, "Little brother, don't listen to them making fun of me. I'm a pro at cooking instant noodles!"

Song arrived: "..."

"Sis, calm down. I'll write it for you today. We don't need to cook for you ourselves."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Just then, Yan Yu received a phone call.

Upon hearing just one sentence, his expression changed drastically.

"My dad's had an accident, come to the hospital with me right away..."
