The younger generation, starting from where the wind blows...

Chapter 92: The Primary School Students' Battle Song, The Old Boys' Debut

After pondering for a moment, Ma Qiushan gave a thumbs-up in admiration: "The word 'lone courage' is absolutely brilliant."

After copying and forwarding Cheng Feng's whistleblower video across various platforms, Ma Qiushan, still unsatisfied, asked Yang Muye, "Is there any source or explanation for this sentence?"

Of course, it's something I copied from my past life.

Yang Muye originally didn't intend to pay any attention to Ma Qiushan, but then he thought that since he had already copied the song title and lyrics, it would be a waste not to copy the song itself.

In his past life, Yang Muye really liked "The Lone Warrior," a must-sing song at karaoke.

But since the song became popular among elementary school students, Yang Muyi hasn't sung it much anymore.

He was mainly afraid of being ridiculed for being childish by his 18-year-old girlfriend.

Even after being reborn, this stereotype still hasn't disappeared.

Yang Muye never intended to sing this song himself, but he could have easily given it to someone else.

Cheng Feng, who is currently reporting He Yueyue as a "lone hero," is the perfect candidate to sing this song.

Riding the wave of the whistleblower video, they launched "The Lone Warrior," and capitalized on the massive influx of traffic.

"The Lone Warrior" is the title of a song, and the caption you posted is from the lyrics of that song.

Upon hearing this, Ma Qiushan was overjoyed and immediately asked for the "full text" of the lyrics.

"Okay, I'll tell you, and you write."

"Got it."

Ma Qiushan immediately asked Shi Xiaomeng and Wu Di for paper and pen.

Yang Muyi said irritably, "What era are we living in? Still writing by hand? I'll have you type it out directly on the computer."

Ma Qiushan suddenly realized his mistake and scolded himself for being foolish.

I opened a Word document and was about to start typing.

A voice suddenly rang out.

“Just recording lyrics is too boring. I’ll go to the dorms around here and see if I can borrow a guitar so that Makino can sing it out directly.”

It was Wu Di who spoke.

His mind worked quickly, and he had already guessed that Yang Muye was going to give the song to Cheng Feng to sing.

To be precise, it was given to the Old Boys group to sing.

If "The Lone Warrior" is at least seven out of ten the quality of Yang Muyi's previous songs, and is sung by Cheng Feng, the "Lone Warrior," at this point in time, it will definitely be a hit!

As a fellow member of the Old Boys group, it would be strange if Wu Di wasn't enthusiastic.

Yang Muyi said, "Record the lyrics first, and we'll talk about the rest when Cheng Feng comes back."

Seeing this, Wu Di had no choice but to give up.

Yang Muye dictated the lyrics, and Ma Qiushan typed them out, quickly recording the lyrics for "The Lone Warrior" on the computer.

Several of the lines were so brilliant that Ma Qiushan exclaimed in admiration.

I watched it several times, and I still felt like I hadn't had enough.

"I already thought it was amazing that Tsinghua University produced Tsinghua Nianhua, but now your Yanjingmao University has produced Laonanhai. The younger generation is truly formidable!"

The flattery from Ma Qiushan made Wu Di, who was standing nearby, very happy. He couldn't wait to call Cheng Feng back and start recording the song.

Of course, this was just a thought; Cheng Feng went to see the principal, so how could he possibly come back so quickly?

Just as Wu Di was feeling regretful, the dormitory door was pushed open with the sound of a key turning in the lock.

As soon as Cheng Feng entered the room, he felt four pairs of eyes fixed on him.

Why is there one more person?

I thought it was Ding Ning or Huang He visiting again, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a stranger.

"Who is this?"

"My name is Ma Qiushan, and I am the CEO of Shanye Network Technology Company. Brother Cheng, I have just finished watching your report video and I am deeply moved. From today onwards, I am your fan."

Looking at Machu, who was excitedly gripping his hand, Cheng Feng was completely bewildered.

"That's just how he talks. Even though he's an IT guy, he likes to imitate the way ancient people talk, as if he's very cultured."

Yang Muye joked.

Upon hearing this, Ma Qiushan immediately objected.

"What do you mean by 'seemingly'? I've always been quite interested in traditional Chinese culture, and I got a little excited. Please forgive me, Brother Cheng."

Cheng Feng was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.

"It startled me. I was thinking, I'm not dead yet, how did I become a hero?"

Wu Di directly contradicted him: "Can't you be a little more cultured? Who told you that a brave man has to die?"

What does "The wind howls, the Yi River is cold, the hero departs, never to return" mean?

"But there's the saying, 'Generals die in a hundred battles, and brave soldiers return after ten years.' Aren't they still alive?"

Cheng Feng was speechless.

Yang Muyi changed the subject: "Why are you back so soon? Didn't you see the principal?"

"As soon as we met, the principal received a phone call and then told me and Secretary Ji to come back and wait for further instructions," Cheng Feng replied.

Wu Di, Shi Xiaomeng, and Ma Qiushan didn't understand at first, until Yang Muye asked, "The higher-ups have set up an investigation team?"

Cheng Feng nodded.

After they came out, Cheng Feng asked Ji Donglai if they could bring down He Yueyue and the people behind her this time.

Ji Donglai simply patted Cheng Feng on the shoulder, glanced in the direction of the principal's office, and said nothing.

Wu Di couldn't help but ask, "What does Secretary Ji mean by this?"

"It means this matter has blown up too much, and even the principal might be implicated. It's possible that our principal will have to be replaced soon."

Yang Muye spoke up to explain.

Wu Di clicked his tongue in amazement. If he remembered correctly, the current principal had only taken office at the beginning of the year, and he had run into this mess in less than a year. It was quite unlucky.

At this moment, Shi Xiaomeng suddenly spoke up: "Did the principal not have time to say whether Secretary Ji told you about deleting the video?"

"He didn't say anything, he just told me to keep a low profile and not cause any more trouble lately." Cheng Feng not only repeated Ji Donglai's original words, but also imitated the helplessness in the other party's tone.

Judging from Ji Donglai's reaction, he shouldn't be held responsible for this incident.

However, as the college's Party Secretary, Ji Donglai still hoped that Cheng Feng would stop causing trouble.

Cheng Feng also felt that since an investigation team had been set up, supposedly led by the vice mayor in charge of education, he should indeed keep a low profile.

Before returning to his dormitory, Cheng Feng made an unprecedented phone call to his father, Cheng Zhen'en, to tell him about it.

Cheng Zhenen was very pleased, feeling that Cheng Feng had finally matured.

"Wait, take a look at this first!"

Wu Di dragged Cheng Feng to the computer. The webpage showed Ma Qiushan's latest status update on Fanfou.

Not only did they forward Cheng Feng's whistleblower video, but they also added corresponding captions.

The line, "Who says only those who stand in the light are heroes?" struck Cheng Feng hard in the heart.

It turns out that in other people's eyes, I am already a hero!

Cheng Feng's previously calm heart suddenly became restless.

That wasn't all. Wu Di then showed Cheng Feng the lyrics to "The Lone Warrior".

At this point, Cheng Feng could no longer contain himself and immediately turned to Yang Muyi: "When are we recording the song?"

Realizing he'd been too hasty, he quickly corrected himself: "What I meant was, do you really want me and Wu Di to sing this song?"

"Did you ever go into a recording studio when you were in a band?"

"I know a recording studio owner, but I've never recorded a song."

Yang Muye nodded and said, "Perfect timing. I've never been to a recording studio before. I'll give you the sheet music later and find a professional to record it for you. We can also shoot a music video as soon as possible."

Wu Di was initially very enthusiastic, but after hearing that he had to go directly to the recording studio, he hesitated: "Going to the recording studio and then shooting a music video will cost a lot of money, right?"

Especially if you're in a hurry, you'll have to pay extra. "It's okay, I'll call my dad right now and ask him for the money."

Cheng Feng acted immediately, grabbing his phone and heading towards the balcony.

Recording songs and shooting music videos are indeed expensive, costing at least several hundred thousand yuan, but Cheng Feng knew that the real bulk of the expense was the copyright fee for the song.

Since Yang Muye didn't ask them for copyright fees, Cheng Feng couldn't appear stingy either.

When the call was made, Cheng Zhen'en initially thought Cheng Feng was just being silly again and firmly refused.

Cheng Zhen'en only relented after Cheng Feng said that the song "The Lone Warrior" was written by Yang Muye.

After much pleading and cajoling, Cheng Zhenen finally agreed to cover all the costs of recording the song and filming the music video.

After settling the money issue, Cheng Feng immediately contacted the recording studio owner.

The other party quoted 10 yuan for the whole process of recording, mixing, audio editing, and music arrangement. Cheng Feng didn't even haggle and agreed immediately.

I also asked them to find a reliable photographer to help shoot a music video.

According to Yang Muye, the music video for this song doesn't need to be very complicated. Just film the scene of Cheng Feng and Wu Di recording the song, set it to black and white, add some visual language and edit it. It won't cost much to make.

Cheng Feng wanted to make his first music video, and since he didn't have to spend his own money, he wanted to make it as good as possible.

However, Cheng Feng listened to the advice, after all, Yang Muye had analyzed the situation for him.

The immediate priority is to release the song and capitalize on the surge in traffic generated by the whistleblower video.

It's okay if the music video is simple.

Even pigs can fly if they stand in the right place at the right time.

"still have a question."

Wu Di stopped Cheng Feng, who was in a hurry to leave: "If we're going to shoot a music video, the information of the lyricist and composer must be included. We need to ask Mu Ye first whether he wants to use his real name or his stage name."

Without hesitation, Yang Muye said, "Let's use a stage name, like 'Barbarian'."

"what?"

The name left everyone present dumbfounded.

The first to realize what was happening immediately asked, "Is it that barbarian from Diablo?"

"A Hollywood movie called 'Barbarians at the Gate,' based on the biographical novel of the same name, tells the story of Wall Street's greed, betrayal, deceit, and high-stakes gambles."

Yang Muye explained the origin of his name.

He really liked the concept of "barbarian" in that movie. Of course, he didn't want to be a barbarian in the financial world, but rather a barbarian who rampaged through the internet wave.

In this sense, Ma Qiushan wasn't wrong.

Ma Qiushan actually prefers Yang Muye's QQ username "Tianyuan Muye" (田园牧野), which sounds more artistic.

Before he could even speak, Wu Di asked, "So, you and Hu Youyu and Huang He's band are also planning to use this name?"

"Correct."

Ma Qiushan then remembered that Yang Muye was going to perform at the welcome party, which was also the main reason Ma Qiushan had come today.

Just then, Ma Qiushan was also hungry, so he suggested that they go have lunch first.

He had long heard of the delicious food at the Yanjingmao canteen.

Just as he was about to leave, Wu Di remembered something else.

He and Cheng Feng have to record songs and shoot music videos, so they definitely won't be able to make it back to class and will have to ask the college for leave.

Cheng Feng is easy to talk to; he just needs to say he wants to lay low for a while, and the college will definitely grant him leave.

The problem is with Wu Di; he needs to come up with a plausible reason.

"If all else fails, just say your brother had an accident, make it sound serious, like he was hit by a car or had a sudden heart attack or something," Cheng Feng suggested.

Wu Di was immediately displeased upon hearing this; what a terrible idea!

Cheng Feng shrugged: "Then the only option is to pretend to be sick. You choose."

Even if he had to fake illness, he still needed a certificate from the school hospital. After thinking it over, Wu Di accepted Cheng Feng's previous suggestion.

The group split into three groups: Cheng Feng and Wu Di went to record a song, Shi Xiaomeng took their leave slips to the college for approval, and Yang Muye took Ma Qiushan to eat.

On the way, Ma Qiushan suggested visiting the campus of Yanjingmao University, so Yang Muye took a detour to take him to the farthest restaurant, Haitang Restaurant.

As a result, they ran into Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing, who had also come specifically to eat, at the restaurant entrance.

The two women met Yang Muye first, and Chen Nanxing took the initiative to greet him. Only then did Ma Qiushan notice them.

Ma Qiushan turned his head and asked in a low voice:

"classmate?"

"Yes, from the same hospital."

What's your major?

Yang Muye turned to look at Ma Qiushan: "Why are you asking this?"

"I heard that your business school's tourism management major has four beauties. Are these two among them?"

Before Yang Muye could answer, Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing had already approached.

Ma Qiushan offered his hand.

"My name is Ma Qiushan, and it's a pleasure to meet you both."

Xu Hongdou looked at Yang Muye with clear eyes but remained silent.

“My friend, Shanye’s partner,” Yang Muye introduced.

Only after confirming their identities and relationship did Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing shake hands with Ma Qiushan.

"By the way, he also has another identity now: the biggest sponsor of our college's welcome party."

Turns out he was a sucker!

Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing repeatedly apologized.

Being flattered like this by the two beautiful women, Ma Qiushan couldn't help but feel a little smug.

Xu Hongdou took the opportunity to take out her phone: "Shall I call Suo Suo and ask her to come over?"

Ma Qiushan immediately waved his hand: "No need, no need. We agreed to have lunch this afternoon. I came here this morning specifically to see Muye."

"If you're talking about serious business, then we won't disturb you any longer."

With that, Xu Hongdou pulled Chen Nanxing along and waved goodbye to the two of them.

Ma Qiushan watched helplessly as the two beauties left, and was about to complain to Yang Muye for not stopping them.

Little did they know that, dozens of meters behind them, under the shade of a tree, two men and a woman had already locked their gazes firmly on them.

"is it him?"

Xie Wanghe adjusted his glasses and asked Xia Fenghua beside him.

"Yes!"

The person who answered was Zhou Haikuo.

He had added Ma Qiushan as a friend on the school's intranet, and he was so excited to meet him in person so soon.

Xie Wanghe was very frustrated because the person Zhou Haikuo was talking about was not the same person he had asked.

Xia Fenghua's reply came belatedly at this point.

"It's him!"

Others might mistake him for someone else, but Yang Muye is tall and handsome, with a highly recognizable appearance.

Especially that relaxed feeling about him, you absolutely can't find another one like him among the students of Yanjingmao.

Therefore, Xia Fenghua spoke with great certainty.

Seeing Xia Fenghua and Zhou Haikuo's eager expressions, Xie Wanghe suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Both were freshmen, but Yang Muye dropped out of high school to start a business in Beijing, only to fail miserably, while Yang Muye simply collaborated with someone to develop a small game and easily amassed a fortune of over ten million.

Why!
