I became a music industry godfather by writing confidantes.

Chapter 153 Hehe or not

"Oh—hey, yeah, yeah, ah—ho————"

In Beijing, at Chen Jian's home, his two daughters, along with their husbands and grandchildren, returned to celebrate the Chinese New Year, making for a lively family gathering.

The first person to notice "Gong Xi Fa Cai" was Chen Jianguo's youngest daughter, Chen Yunmeng.

"Hey Mom, look, the lyrics and music for this song are by Yang Du."

Xiao Peiwen was about to look when the message box disappeared. She asked, "Was it really Yang Du?"

"Yes, Grandma, it's Yang Du, I saw him." The eldest granddaughter came over holding up an orange.

"Wow, that's really amazing. You've already made it to the Spring Festival Gala without us even realizing it."

Chen Jianguo, who was chatting with his son-in-law about work, was completely unmoved by what he heard. He even calmly thought: Oh, he's on it again.

The character "又" is very spiritual.

If Chen Jianguo's first reaction to learning last October that Yang Du had performed two songs on the National Day Gala stage was surprise, with a hint of disbelief, then this was a different story.

Now, he is able to accept this fact quite calmly.

Within a year, they appeared on the Children's Day Gala and the National Day Gala, two completely different national stages, performing three completely different types of works.

Now, appearing on the Spring Festival Gala again, Chen Jianguo not only didn't feel awkward, but also felt a sense of naturalness and as if it were a foregone conclusion.

It seems that Yang Du's works are just meant to be on the Spring Festival Gala, and he feels so justified in doing so.

but-

Thinking of his identity, Chen Jianguo felt a sense of satisfaction.

The continued achievements of young musicians like Yang Du are all results of the construction of spiritual civilization, and his position as vice chairman of the Musicians Association naturally makes him a member of this construction team.

Yes, he deserves some credit.

"The seating arrangement for this program is quite good," Chen Yunmeng said.

Seeing her mother's questioning look, Chen Yunmeng explained, "The second program follows the opening dance and the hosts' collective New Year's greetings. This is the time when the channel-changing rate is lowest during the entire show."

Even young people who complain online that the Spring Festival Gala is getting worse every year will have a taste of this first, otherwise they won't have anything to complain about later, or they'll be out of touch.

"Generally speaking, the opening dance focuses on visual stimulation and warming up the atmosphere, while the second program is tasked with creating resonance and keeping the audience engaged through auditory or verbal stimulation."

"The second program of the Spring Festival Gala has always been either a New Year's greeting song or a crosstalk performance. This year, they put 'Gong Xi Fa Cai' here, which shows that CCTV also has high hopes for this song."

On television, the information box decorated with red lanterns doesn't stay on screen for long, at most five seconds.

But those five seconds were enough for millions of people on this land to see the name Yang Du.

Perhaps not all viewers will notice the subtitles in the lower left corner of the screen, and not everyone knows Yang Du, but this is the Spring Festival Gala, a national-level gala that has consistently maintained an average viewership rating of over 20% in recent years, with hundreds of millions of viewers behind it.

Not to mention the advanced online channels available today, even if we calculate based on 1%, such exposure is still extremely impressive.

Therefore, as soon as Jin Yong finished singing the first verse, related terms quickly appeared on Weibo, and marketing accounts naturally didn't forget to join in the fun.

Yang Du's new song will be performed on the Spring Festival Gala. Wishing you...

！》

This student did it! He appeared on three national-level galas in one year: Children's Day, National Day, and the Spring Festival Gala.

Jiang Yinglan once criticized him in this way, but today his song is on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

The discussion on Weibo's main page rose at a visible speed, with fans and netizens pushing this slightly cheesy but endearing song title to the top of the trending searches.

I wish all the girls in the world would marry a good boy and be together forever.

While fans were happily discussing Yang Du's new song, Gu Xingran couldn't smile on what should have been a joyous Lunar New Year's Eve.

Like other industry insiders who follow the music scene, he naturally noticed Yang Du's song "Gong Xi Fa Cai" which was performed on the Spring Festival Gala.

The brighter Jin Yong's smile became as he sang while bowing with his hands clasped on the television screen, the more gloom filled his heart.

The longer you're in the music industry, the more you can appreciate Yang Du's terrifying creative ability.

One hit song after another, one great song after another, it seems like he never encounters any creative bottlenecks.

But how is that possible?

Although Gu Xingran is not a singer-songwriter, he has collaborated with many top producers in the industry. He knows all too well how painful and tortuous the process is for those people to write a melody or lyrics that suits their taste.

Inspiration is something that truly cannot be described in words.

Sometimes it's like a cascading waterfall; other times it's like a dry well, and no amount of scratching your head or pulling your hair will help.

Therefore, it is not surprising that many artists travel around seeking inspiration, sometimes even doing some absurd and outrageous things.

In the past, everyone was in the same situation, it was just a matter of who was in better condition. However, Yang Du's creative frequency was just so unreasonable, and he always managed to accurately hit the market.

Take this song "Gong Xi Fa Cai" for example. It's lively and festive, with a simple and catchy melody that makes you want to hum along after just one listen.

But that's not the most terrifying thing. What's even more impressive is the straightforwardness and simplicity of the theme "Gong Xi Fa Cai" (Wishing You Prosperity). It naturally carries the cultural genes of the Spring Festival, and any Chinese person, person of Chinese descent, or even a foreigner who understands Chinese culture can instantly understand the theme without any additional explanation.

Wishing children intelligence, elders health and longevity, and everyone good luck and wealth. The best wishes come in, and the bad wishes go away. This naturally caters to the Chinese people's psychological and social needs for good fortune.

Gu Xingran had a strong premonition that the streaming data for "Gong Xi Fa Cai" would probably explode, and it might even become a national anthem like "Xin Nian Hao" and "Ying Cai Shen".

He was upset but also very adept at accessing Yang Du's Weibo homepage, where the latest post was still "His Wife's Accusation".

He read the article over and over again, and his only takeaway was a feeling of unease in his chest.

Admittedly, the male protagonist in the story is a sucker who sacrifices his family's interests to comfort outsiders, but the female protagonist is no better.

One bizarre thing after another happened. Knowing her husband was awful, she didn't divorce him and suffered along with him. Didn't she deserve it?

If I had given birth to a daughter, I would have divorced her immediately; there wouldn't have been all these complications later.

Therefore, he should learn from his mistakes. So, after realizing that Yang Du was a threat, he immediately took action without hesitation.

Just then, his phone rang; it was his agent, Gao Yang.

"Xingran, I've got an idea!" the other person said rapidly. "Did you listen carefully to 'Gong Xi Fa Cai' just now?"

This song?

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Hahaha." Gao Yang laughed twice, excitedly saying, "There's a line in the lyrics that says, 'May all the girls in the world marry a good boy, and may the two of them stay together forever.'"

Gu Xingran asked, puzzled, "So? Is there a problem?"

"This is a huge problem. Xingran, think about it, aren't these lyrics stereotypes about women? Why should women have to get married? Can't they stay single? Can't they be independent women?"

"Besides, does marriage mean you have to be together for eternity? Can't you get a divorce if the relationship breaks down? Isn't that moral blackmail?"

"I'm planning to get a few marketing accounts to stir things up. As a public figure, Yang Du openly promotes outdated and feudal views on marriage and love, and discriminates against women. Once the topic is started, it won't be just a small skirmish like last time."
