Who is Water Strike Three Thousand

Song Dao was stunned by this news.

This truly had nothing to do with him!

Regarding Miao Xiu, he only felt disgust from a third-person perspective.

If she hadn't actively jumped out to grab attention back then, Song Dao likely wouldn't have targeted her.

After all, it was the original owner's fault; any more effort would just be a simp's self-indulgence, and he was happy to do it!

To put it bluntly, this was a story about a gold digger and a simp.

Even when Miao Xiu finally revealed her true colors, the original owner didn't harm her, choosing instead to harm himself.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up here.

As a transmigrator, following the system's instructions to write songs for the original owner to vent his anger was enough.

This song was enough to nail her to the pillar of shame and keep her there.

It would be difficult for her to become a public figure.

This punishment was not light.

Of course, if she had a thick enough skin, she could still become an internet celebrity and make money off gullible idiots.

But she had to jump out herself, and coupled with the paid trolls Lu Wen's arrogant Times Media executive hired, the whole thing escalated to a point where no one could control it.

Now it was completely screwed.

Even if she wanted to shamelessly become an internet celebrity to make money, without psychological resilience, she wouldn't be able to withstand the mockery and abuse.

But no matter what, it had nothing to do with him anymore.

As time passed, the hype around this matter had long since died down.

Even if people mentioned it, he no longer paid attention.

But he never expected that some bored paparazzi were still keeping an eye on them?

Seeing that Song Dao seemed genuinely unaware, Lin Fei smiled, "This news just broke. Based on your ex-girlfriend alone, she wouldn't qualify for paparazzi attention. They were probably after Lu Wen but accidentally got a bigger scoop."

She paused, then looked at Song Dao, "Now that it's resurfaced, your two songs should become even more popular."

Seeing Song Dao's speechless expression, Lin Fei added, "But it really doesn't matter to you. And your decision to use a pen name from the beginning was correct."

Song Dao understood what she meant.

If he had released songs like "Always Been Quiet," "A Lifetime of Loneliness," and "Lovesickness" under his real name, he would have become famous, but he would also have attracted a lot of unnecessary criticism and trouble.

"I'll schedule a meeting with Director Zhang right away. As the original author, do you want to meet this great director with me?" Lin Fei asked.

"I'll pass. As long as he thinks it's good, and Sister Fei thinks it's okay, that's enough," Song Dao refused.

There was no need to know the hen to eat the egg.

"Alright, I'll call him later," Lin Fei said, looking at Song Dao again. "I'll sing this song. I don't need any money. After all, the company still gets thirty percent..."

"No, you can have it all. It'll burn my hands if I take it. Let's stick to the rules: company gets thirty, you get twenty, I get fifty."

"You only get twenty!" Lin Fei rolled her eyes at him. "You had the opportunity, but you said you didn't want it!"

This guy was a money-grubber, but a principled one.

Thinking about the contract he signed before, where he only took thirty percent for creating songs for others, it felt like it could be voided now.

Talent allowed for such capriciousness.

With the release of these songs, "Water Strike Three Thousand's" all-around creative ability would surely spread quickly.

Then, people would naturally come knocking, seeking collaboration.

Lin Fei sighed with emotion.

At the time, she had just wanted to take a gamble, but she never expected the surprise to come so quickly!

Wu Zhiqi was suppressed by fate for five hundred years!

But she had only been doing this for five or six years.

So she was lucky!

"Regarding the songs about the Three Kingdoms..."

Lin Fei suddenly remembered this matter.

Song Dao's forehead creased. "Boss, you can't work a donkey like that, even if it's from a production team."

Lin Fei chuckled and said, "Okay, the Three Kingdoms songs aren't urgent. They haven't even started filming yet, so there's plenty of time. You can go, I need to call Director Zhang."

That's women for you!

Heartless and unfeeling, use and discard!

Song Dao got up to leave.

The popularity of "Immortal Sword Asking for Love" continued to rise.

The song "Always Been Quiet" also became a massive hit online overnight!

Ma Shen: Kong Xi has earned my respect!

In his livestream, Ma Shen, a well-known second-tier singer-songwriter adept at finding trending topics, spoke animatedly to the camera.

"I don't usually like those cliché romance idol dramas, honestly, I'm not kidding!"

"But I was completely engrossed in 'Immortal Sword Asking for Love'!"

"Kong Xi was just okay before. She's professionally trained and has good vocals, but she was too much of an internet celebrity."

"I'm not looking down on internet celebrities, please don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that her previous works definitely had enough traction online, even more than mine sometimes, but..."

"What I'm trying to say is, she hadn't truly broken into the mainstream music scene before. With this song, she's no longer just an internet celebrity but a professional singer!"

"I also noticed that the lyricist and composer of this song are the same person, writing under the pen name Water Strike Three Thousand. I'm very curious about this person; I suspect it might be a pseudonym used by a top industry professional."

Although some netizens in the livestream mentioned the recently popular young singer-songwriter Song Dao, Ma Shen acted as if he hadn't seen their comments.

As he had said before, a nobody internet celebrity like Song Dao wasn't worth his attention.

Furthermore, he had also seen the news that broke earlier today about the Vice President of Times Media's affair, which had spread across the entire internet.

That made it even more crucial not to speak carelessly.

Talking big doesn't mean being brainless; even riding the coattails of a trend requires strategy and method.

Offending a minor figure like Song Dao is inconsequential, but it's best not to provoke high-level executives of major entertainment companies like Lu Wen lightly.

Making unnecessary enemies is the act of an idiot.

Cui Luo, who was also livestreaming, didn't care about any of that.

He faced the camera with an excited expression.

"See? This is why I don't like Song Dao. The songs he creates are simply not on the same level as the works of this Teacher Water Strike Three Thousand."

"You don't need to remind me, I saw that news. I retract my previous comments about Song Dao's character, but this matter is unrelated to the song, so let's not comment on it."

"Song Dao's lack of songwriting ability is undeniable. The works speak for themselves, and I believe the vast majority of netizens can hear the difference; the gap is obvious."

"Kong Xi has indeed earned my respect. With the birth of this song, she has entered the mainstream music scene. If she continues on this path, she will undoubtedly have a place in the future music industry!"

As these two active singers and music critics on the internet mentioned Water Strike Three Thousand, this pen name with a profound meaning finally gained a small amount of influence.

However, most people were still focused on Kong Xi, the performer.

It's difficult for lyricists and composers to break out of their niche.

Unless they are legendary figures who have propelled countless artists to stardom, or singer-songwriters who can both promote others and become famous themselves.

Like Ma Shen, or Hong Kong's little diva Sun Meiqi.

Otherwise, even renowned producers, while highly valued within the industry, are generally not paid much attention by the public.

But there are always exceptions.

Because Kong Xi started her livestream.

In her livestream.

The number of viewers for this "Somersault Cat" girl, who has an irregular streaming schedule and often slacks off, surged as soon as she went live.

On normal days, her streams usually maintain around 100,000 viewers.

The peak has reached over 200,000.

But today, just ten minutes after starting, with the platform boosting her traffic, the viewer count quickly surpassed the 500,000 mark!

Even though her stream started at the same time as "Immortal Sword Asking for Love" was airing, it had no impact whatsoever!

Kong Xi, already very popular, became even more so!

The song "Always Been Quiet" not only garnered her the attention of a large number of "Immortal Sword Asking for Love" fans but, more importantly, also earned her acceptance from mainstream musicians in the industry.

For her, it was definitely a day of great rewards!

She first thanked the audience for their enthusiasm.

Then, she thanked the drama "Immortal Sword Asking for Love."

She also took the opportunity to promote it a bit.

There was no need for excessive boasting, as it was genuinely a good show.

Especially now that it was destined to become a hit drama of the year, even if she didn't mention it, over eighty percent of the people in the livestream had probably already watched it.

Facing the rapidly scrolling bullet comments mentioning Ma Shen and Cui Luo, Kong Xi chose to ignore them.

Those two had badmouthed Teacher Song before, so she wouldn't thank them!

Whether I enter the mainstream music scene or not isn't up to them to decide.

She even felt like laughing a little.

If these two people ever found out that the person they criticized and the person they praised were one and the same, what would their expressions be?

However, she was smart and didn't bother reading the comments at all.

She simply expressed her gratitude and thanks, did a soft promotion for Immortal Sword Asking for Love, and then said with a solemn expression—

"Here, I want to give special thanks to one person, and that is Teacher Water Strike Three Thousand, who wrote Always Been Quiet for me!"

"Without him, this heartbreaking song wouldn't exist, nor would my livestream have broken fifty... Huh? We're already at eight hundred thousand? Hehe, thank you all, thank you Teacher Sanqian!"

"Also, Teacher Sanqian has a new song, which was released today on a certain platform..."

Due to limitations on the Audiovisual side, Kong Xi bent her arm and made a clumsy penguin-walking motion.

She said with a smile, "The singer of that song is a senior fellow student from the Central Conservatory of Music, just like me, and we're in the same company.

The song is called A Lifetime of Loneliness, and it's really good!

You can all search for it now, you should be able to hear it. It's a very healing song!

Our Teacher Sanqian not only understands women, but also understands men.

I'll say it again, I highly recommend it!"

Don't underestimate these few short sentences; their effect far surpassed the 100,000 yuan Lin Fei had prepared to boost her ranking.

The traffic Kong Xi currently commanded was terrifying!

Many people were watching her Audiovisual livestream while also searching for the song on Penguin Music.

Lyrics: Water Strike Three Thousand Composition: Water Strike Three Thousand Arrangement: Water Strike Three Thousand Vocals: Hu Wei

This song, with a vocalist who wasn't famous, became popular without a doubt as the name Water Strike Three Thousand was repeatedly mentioned that evening.

Hu Wei's full, almost overflowing emotion, his magnetic, highly recognizable voice, and his incredibly solid singing skills.

It immediately stunned everyone who listened to the song.

It was outrageous!

Was this a song that could come from the current music scene?

A group of people who, moments before, were joking and messing around in the livestreams of Kong Xi, Ma Shen, and Cui Luo.

In the blink of an eye, they all became focused.

Listening to the song attentively.

This was the charm of a classic song.

Even without a sad mood, one could quickly be moved by the singing and empathize.

"Holy crap, this song is amazing. I was in a pretty good mood, but in just a few minutes, it made me emo!"

"No, Kong Xi, you've gone too far. You call this sad song healing?"

"You're trying to trick me into crying, right? Wasn't your Always Been Quiet enough? You actually recommended this song to me, Somersault Cat Girl, you've really gone too far this time!"

"Damn it, I just went through a breakup, are you trying to kill me?"

"Don't listen to those people talking nonsense, this is a healing song, I swear I'm not lying!"

"Yeah, yeah, super healing!"

In Ma Shen's livestream.

He also opened his expensive music player.

The moment Hu Wei's voice began, his long face twitched slightly.

He listened quietly from beginning to end.

He only said two words: "Good song!"

There was one thing he didn't say: this person was going to be famous!

If Hu Wei had been an artist from another company, he might have praised him without holding back.

And then marveled at the emerging talent.

But this guy, just like Kong Xi, was from Feiyang Music Movement.

He had already generously praised Kong Xi earlier.

The young girl was indeed talented, beautiful, and sang well.

He couldn't praise Hu Wei any further!

After all, Lin Fei hadn't just vaguely criticized him a few days ago.

What are you saying, that you're optimistic about Song Dao.

What kind of crap is Song Dao?

What trash songs has he written?

Does he even compare to Water Strike Three Thousand?

Does he compare to Kong Xi, or Hu Wei?

No wonder everyone calls you Water Queen!

There are no wrong names, only wrong nicknames!

But this time... Lin Fei seems to have really struck gold!
