Huayu: When the director changed his major

A rush
A glance
A touch
A dance
A look in somebody's eyes
To light up the skies
To open the world and send it reeling
A voice that says I'll be here
And you'll be alright.

Zhu Zhu's hands continued to move, and the music flowed continuously, accompanied by her singing voice, which was truly enjoyable.

Zhu Zhu's movements, in particular, with her long neck slightly raised, resembled an elegant swan singing a song.

The subtle melancholy in the song adds an extra layer of mystery to this alluring Eastern face.

Before anyone could react, the song's style suddenly shifted, becoming high-pitched and exciting.

"When your dreams come alive you're unstoppable
Take a shot chase the sun find the beautiful
We will glow in the dark turning dust to gold
And we'll dream it possible
Possible
Possible
Possible

Upon hearing the word "possible," Cheng Xi couldn't help but smile slightly.

This made him think of some really fun things.

This song is, of course, Huawei's theme song, "Dream It Possible".

Whenever colleagues and friends who use Huawei phones call, I always hear "possible" repeatedly, which can be described as another form of brainwashing.

But the difference is that this song actually has something to offer.

At the time, Huawei spent a huge sum of money to buy the full copyright of the song, and the total investment in the production of the subsequent Chinese and English versions was 8000 million yuan!
The song cost nearly 100 million yuan. Cheng Xi admired Huawei's CEO's boldness, and of course, the song's high quality.

The song "Dream It Possible" was composed by music maestro Andy Love and sung by Los Angeles talent Delacey.

Mr. Ren (Ren Zhengfei, founder of Huawei) chose this song because he felt it matched Huawei's spirit and could represent the company's essence.

Moreover, it facilitates the expansion into overseas markets.

A music video was even made telling the story of a music girl pursuing her dream of playing the piano, which brought tears to many people's eyes.

It has become a classic inspirational song, captivating countless people!
It was later adapted into the Mandarin song "My Dream," which was sung in China by Jane Zhang.

Cheng Xi brought it out at this time, naturally intending to make a strong first impression.

Moreover, they have registered the copyright for both songs, and what they released were only demos.

Even if Taylor Swift takes a liking to it, she'll have to decide whether or not to let her sing it, depending on her own mood.

Cheng Xi had already decided on the domestic singer, G.E.M., believing she could deliver a more vivid performance than Jane Zhang.

As for whether it can be sold to Mr. Ren at a high price later, that depends on fate.

The sentence ended with a few long, drawn-out "possible" sounds.

Zhu Zhu's performance has now come to an end.

Zhu Zhu stood up and bowed slightly to everyone.

After a brief silence, Taylor Swift, who was next to Cheng Xi, started clapping.

A round of applause followed.

In any case, these people were still willing to show some gentlemanly manners.

"It's truly heavenly music!"

"Miss JuJu, I didn't know you could sing so well."

"It's been so long since I've heard such a high-quality performance!"

No matter how much praise is given, no one praises the melody and lyrics for being well-written.

In other words, everyone was praising Zhu Zhu, the beautiful woman.

They've shrugged off Cheng Xi, the instigator, and are saying, "I'm a guy, so I deserve not to be praised?"
Cheng Xi shrugged helplessly.

Taylor Swift, standing nearby, noticed Cheng Xi's teasing expression and thought he looked particularly handsome with his hands outstretched.

So, being very polite, he said:
"Cheng, your music and lyrics are really good, both are top-notch. I shouldn't have underestimated you. I apologize for my previous recklessness."

The beautiful woman has already apologized, so what can Cheng Xi do? Of course, he'll just accept it calmly.

"You flatter me. The melody was a masterpiece of nature, and I only came across it by chance."

This line, adapted from the great poet Lu You, instantly made Taylor Swift's eyes light up.

"Yes, the music already exists; it's just a matter of when we find it. It's less about creation and more about discovery."

This is the mutual appreciation between two creators.

After Zhu Zhu finished playing her piece, she walked towards Cheng Xi.

At this moment, Braun also came over and said:

"Mr. Cheng, this piece is indeed very good, but did you compose it yourself?" "Without a doubt, yes."

Cheng Xi readily agreed.

If you need to be a little shameless to copy domestic works before...

So, Cheng Xi doesn't feel embarrassed at all about taking advantage of foreign countries, especially the United States.

There was even a secret sense of satisfaction.

As someone who has been reborn, I certainly know how intense the conflict between China and the United States later became.

The unprecedented changes of the past century are no joke.

The instructor is right. There is never any balance. Either the West Wind prevails over the East Wind, or the East Wind prevails over the West Wind.

The struggle in the ideological sphere is just that thorough.

"Then why have we never heard of a musical genius from China? Don't you all find that strange?"

"And this is your first and only English song. Although it may be a bit impolite, all things considered, I think you may not be the original creator. I know you must be very wealthy, so it wouldn't be difficult for you to get a good song."

After Braun said that, the others also felt that there was some truth to what he said.

There's no reason why a Chinese person could write such a smooth and high-quality piece in English on their first attempt.

Moreover, it's a very difficult piano piece to write!

If it was a purchase, then that makes perfect sense.

After all, there are many young people who buy songs and try to create a genius persona these days.

Those are things that America has already done.

Everyone present was shrewd and an elite member of CAA, so they naturally knew some of the unspoken rules.

Just as everyone was looking at Cheng Xi with suspicion, Taylor Swift unexpectedly responded to Braun.

"Braun, please stop slandering Mr. Cheng immediately."

"If I'm not mistaken, were those two songs?"

As a top singer-songwriter, Taylor Swift was naturally able to immediately sense the difference in emotions between the beginning and end of the song.

Braun was taken aback:
"Two pieces? Didn't you clearly only play one?"

Cheng Xi smiled, then looked at Braun like a cat eyeing a mouse and said:
"Miss Taylor Swift guessed right, they are indeed two immature demos."

"The first half describes the city of Los Angeles, or perhaps it was your New York that inspired me. The second half speaks of how there are always many thorns on the road to realizing dreams. Don't you like to talk about the American Dream? Actually, we also have the Chinese Dream."

Everyone was surprised when he said that.

If you couldn't tell just by listening to the music, everyone realized it after Taylor Swift and Cheng Xi mentioned it.

Indeed, the mood and emotions before and after, as well as the lyrics, clearly indicate that it is a two-part structure.

Everyone was still immersed in the piano music and didn't react for a moment.

But now we know the situation.

Two pieces of music?

If the previous song had already impressed everyone...

The impact of those two songs is more than doubled.

One song might represent a burst of inspiration, while two songs signify stability and future growth potential.

Now everyone is thinking about it.

They didn't know about the movie and hadn't seen it, so they didn't know what Cheng Xi's talents were.

But just this song alone has made everyone want to download it and have their own artists sing it.

Even James Wan considered including these two songs in the soundtrack of his movie.

While white people may be arrogant, they respect capable people and especially enjoy cooperating with them.

I may look down on you, but making money is never shameful.

For a moment, everyone's eyes burned with fervor as they looked at the Chinese man named Cheng Xi in front of them. (End of Chapter)
