Signing Song Dao Over

Six treasure chests opened simultaneously.

The next moment.

Six songs appeared before him at the same time.

[Lilac Flower (Unregistered, can be extracted after unlocking)]

This first song made Song Dao's spirit tremble.

However, he was already speechless about the system listing this song in the Slobber Song Library.

It wasn't only incredibly popular and widely sung back in the day, but he remembered it even winning some awards.

Although it was an internet song, its evaluation was very high.

"Whatever, the system is the boss, so it is what it is," he thought.

He was a bit confused about the "can be extracted after unlocking" part. He wondered if there needed to be a corresponding creative scene.

He continued to look down.

[Don't Say You Don't Care About My Tears]

[Breakup in That Autumn]

[If You Love Me, Don't Hurt Me]

[When You Are Lonely You Will Think of Who]

[There Is a Love Called Letting Go]

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Song Dao was impressed.

Any one of these songs was once incredibly popular.

But as time passed, they gradually exited the stage of the pop music scene.

They only remained in the memories of those who grew up with them.

Becoming symbols that accompanied their youth.

"Fine."

Song Dao accepted his fate.

With the system being so willful, what could he say?

"Compared to King of Mandopop Jay Chou or Xu Wei, I'm not worthy."

Aside from "Lilac Flower," which needed to be unlocked, the remaining five songs could be recorded at any time.

After they were extracted, Song Dao quickly became familiar with the complete sheet music.

After all, these were also memories of his youth. As long as the familiar melody played, the feeling would naturally come.

He planned to record all these songs at once when "Demon Love" was released, and then release them one by one.

As for what Yan Yu and the others would think?

He didn't care.

"I just like singing this kind of song!"

Song Dao, full of resentment, drifted off to sleep.

The next afternoon.

The internet exploded.

Kong Xi and Hu Wei, who had just become popular with two songs, had released new songs so quickly!

This time, they easily surged to the top of trending searches on online platforms like Shuibo, Zhi Fou, Audiovisual, and My Show.

[Somersault Cat Girl Releases New Song "Dark Sky"]

[Hu Wei Quickly Releases Second Song "Well-intentioned but Misguided" After "A Lifetime of Loneliness"]

[Who Exactly is Water Strike Three Thousand?]

[Kong Xi's New Song Has Depth]

["Well-intentioned but Misguided" Will Become a Classic Sad Love Song]

The singing streamers on Audiovisual and My Show were bombarded with these messages as soon as they woke up that morning.

Chen Meng, a top female streamer with tens of millions of fans, even recorded a video specifically for this.

She looked at the camera with a surprised expression--

"What's going on? Uploaded simultaneously at six in the morning? In just half a day, it's already exploded all over the internet?

If I remember correctly, aren't these two artists under Heavenly Queen Lin Fei's company?

'Dark Sky' is so good, and 'Well-intentioned but Misguided' is also amazing!

Oh my god!"

"Water Strike Three Thousand is too amazing?

Big shot, can you take me with you?

I don't want any song royalties!

I can pay a lot of money for a custom song, can you spare a moment for a poor little online celebrity?"

She pleaded pitifully in front of the camera.

Chen Meng had good looks, unlike those female streamers who relied on beauty filters to appear online.

She was the type of woman who dared to go live without any beauty filters or makeup.

Her fair skin and delicate face were not afraid of close-up shots.

The reason she was recording this vlog was because Chen Meng had keenly noticed that the popularity of these two songs was off the charts!

Although it hadn't caused a stir in the mainstream music scene yet due to the short time, they had already exploded on Penguin Music and major platforms.

On Penguin Music's charts, these two songs had both entered the top three on the New Song Chart, Soaring Chart, and Popularity Index Chart!

Hu Wei's "Well-intentioned but Misguided" had even temporarily surpassed "Dark Sky"!

One was second, the other third!

This terrifying popularity shocked countless people.

To listeners and netizens, they simply thought Kong Xi and Hu Wei were amazing. Their previous songs were still popular, and they had already released new ones!

But to industry insiders and major entertainment companies with music departments, this was quite alarming.

A single hit song wouldn't raise too many eyebrows.

But hit after hit? That was a huge problem!

This wasn't just about dominating chart positions. With the current popularity of the two, these songs would undoubtedly reach new heights.

Both of them would also become darlings of major music programs!

The same applied to other variety shows!

Even if unrelated, no one would want to miss out on artists with such immense popularity.

Besides that, various commercial performances also loved inviting artists like them.

If they continued to be popular, it wouldn't take long, half a year would be enough, for various brand endorsements to come knocking.

If they could stay popular for two years, even light luxury brands would approach them for collaborations. If they continued to be popular... then major brands would come calling.

This was the biggest problem.

The cake was only so big; if you took a bigger slice, someone else would have less.

A countermeasure had to be devised!

That afternoon, at the same time the popular online celebrity Chen Meng released her vlog, Times Media and other major entertainment companies with music departments urgently convened internal meetings.

In the large conference room at Times Media.

Vice President Lu Wen sat in his chair, looking at the netizens' comments displayed on the giant projection screen with everyone else.

"How to describe my pain, loving wrongly and letting you go, I was already sobbing uncontrollably by this point."

"Hu Wei's distinctiveness is too high. Including this song, he only has two songs, but my mind is filled with his voice!"

"Heh, I just broke up not long ago and have been listening to this on repeat for a day. I used to listen to Brother Dog's two songs, but now I've betrayed you, Brother Dog, I'm sorry..."

"Haven't you noticed the lyricist and composer? He's the one who wrote those two hit songs for Kong Xi and Hu Wei. Does anyone know who he is? His lyrics are amazing, I love it!"

"What kind of sadness and disappointment must a woman feel to write a song where even breathing hurts?"

"Sis, wake up, this song was written by a man!"

"Why a man? Just because the name is Water Strike Three Thousand, does it have to be a man? Can't it be a woman?"

"Hearing this song, I immediately thought of my ex-girlfriend. She was very sensible. Knowing I was under a lot of pressure, she chose to run off with someone else. There was no 'destined to settle down'."

"I'd rather watch you sleep so peacefully than see you break up so heartlessly when you're awake (crying face)"

The conference room was silent, everyone's expression was grim.

Then, someone switched the screen, moving from the comment section of Hu Wei's "Family, I've released a new song" to Kong Xi's comment section.

Kong Xi Shuibo's post was the same as Hu Wei's, as if they had coordinated.

--Family, I've released a new song.

It was only eight short words, with over 300,000 likes and more than 50,000 comments!

Upon opening it, the most liked comment instantly appeared before their eyes.

"The lyrics of this song are incredible. In just a few dozen words, it expresses the innocence of youth, the longing for the future, the reckless devotion in love and the resulting scars after growing up, and the yearning for grandma and home when feeling vulnerable and powerless. No, I really want to know, who is the lyricist?"

"I just found out Somersault Cat Girl is from our Chaoshan region. Those few lines in Chaoshan dialect are really beautiful!"

"The emotions contained in this song are so rich, it's truly amazing. The lyrics and music are brilliant, and the singing is even better. Who would have believed our Somersault Cat Girl had this talent?"

"Ugh, why does our Somersault Cat have to release a song on the same day as Hu Wei? Isn't that like fighting ourselves?"

"They're fellow disciples, aren't they? Didn't you see that the lyrics and music for both of them were written by the same person?"

"What's been going on lately? First, there was this really talented Brother Dog, and then suddenly several more incredibly beautiful songs popped up. Has our Chinese music scene suddenly come back to life?"

"Has anyone else noticed something? Somersault Cat girl, the sad love song prince Hu Wei, and Brother Dog Song Dao who appeared a while ago – all three of them are from the Central Conservatory of Music, and Somersault Cat hasn't even graduated yet!"

"Central Conservatory of Music is awesome (voice cracks)! Truly the top music academy in Xia Kingdom!"

"It would be even more exciting if Brother Dog could release a few more new songs!"

"Brother Dog's songs are good and all, but they're missing something."

"Don't you dare talk about my Brother Dog! How great is Brother Dog's Sad City!"

The big screen was turned off, plunging the room into darkness.

Chen Qingshan, the CEO of Times Media, looked calmly at the people in the conference room.

"Let's hear what everyone has to say."

Silence fell over the room; no one spoke.

As a comprehensive entertainment company, Times Media was once the largest music company in Xia Kingdom during the 1990s!

At that time, they had a large number of second and third-tier singers under their banner, as well as four or five first-tier artists and Heavenly Kings and Queens.

In that era of fierce competition, the name Times Media was almost synonymous with invincibility.

Entering the new century, as the music industry gradually declined, they adapted to the trend and underwent a transformation.

They shifted to the film and television industry and also started MCNs, using professional methods to package and cultivate internet celebrities.

Many top-tier influencers emerged from here.

Chairman and CEO Chen Qingshan was a truly capable man.

He had led the company to where it is today, remaining a leading enterprise in Xia Kingdom's entertainment industry, and his contributions were immense.

Within the company, and even throughout the entire entertainment industry, he was like a god.

A true power player.

"Since none of you will speak, I'll say a few words," Chen Qingshan said with a smile, looking at the silent crowd. "They're just two suddenly popular young people; it's really no big deal."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Wen maintained his serious expression.

As a subordinate of many years, he had followed behind Mr. Chen since he was young, acting as his gofer, and naturally understood his boss's personality.

He knew that Chen Qingshan wasn't finished speaking.

As expected.

Chen Qingshan's smile faded, and he said, "However, Feiyang Music Movement, this company, will undoubtedly become our formidable rival!"

He looked at the company executives, who had become tense again. "Lin Fei is also making a comeback; this is a done deal. Although I don't know what she'll be singing, I've heard that Director Zhang Yi highly praises her in private!"

At this moment, Lu Wen spoke up. "Mr. Chen, may I say something?"

"Go ahead," Chen Qingshan nodded.

Despite the recent scandals surrounding Lu Wen, he still highly valued this vice president whom he had personally mentored.

Lu Wen was not only smart and emotionally intelligent but also loyal to him and very useful.

Besides, sleeping with a girl who wanted to become famous was no big deal; he hadn't slept with many women over the years.

Lu Wen looked at everyone. "The person behind these recently popular songs is all the same!"

"Water Strike Three Thousand!"

Lu Wen looked at everyone and said earnestly, "The person behind this pen name, 'Zhuangzi's 'Free and Easy Wandering',' is definitely a master!"

"He wrote these four songs for Kong Xi and Hu Wei individually. Except for the previous song 'Always Been Quiet,' which was created in relation to 'Immortal Sword Asking for Love' and is a bit mismatched for Kong Xi, the other three songs are tailor-made!"

"I suspect he's a top lyricist and composer. Perhaps he's lonely, or perhaps he needs money. We should try to poach this person."

"But that won't be easy."

"I've already checked. He registered the copyright using a combination of his pen name and his works, and then registered the pen name trademark under Lin Fei's Feiyang Music Movement. It's clear he doesn't want his identity known."

He paused, and Lu Wen continued, "So, we need to prepare for both scenarios. I have a feeling that with the explosion of these new songs, the Chinese music scene might be about to experience a surge. More people with strong creative abilities will join in. We can't fall behind. Therefore, I suggest that we simultaneously contact those gold-medal producers and invite them to collaborate, while also increasing our efforts to cultivate our company's own lyricists and composers, giving them more importance and support."

Chen Qingshan nodded repeatedly as he listened. This was why he valued Lu Wen; when it came to serious matters, there was no joking around, regardless of his personal life.

"Also..."

Lu Wen hesitated for a moment, then said with a composed expression, "I suggest we sign Song Dao."

As soon as he said this, everyone looked stunned, their gazes involuntarily becoming somewhat strange.
