China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 595 New song on the album: A good person like me~

Just when Cao Xuan guest-starred as Cai E in "Founding the Party", on October 10, the first promotional song of the new album "Dazzling" was released on the QQ Star website and Penguin Weibo.

When Liu Tianle (appeared in chapters 168 and 527) saw the news, he had already stayed in the Internet cafe in his hometown for three days.

In 2008, he mustered up the courage to go to Hangzhou to find the goddess Wu Lanlan.

Fortunately, Wu Lanlan was single at the time.

Unfortunately, Wu Lanlan still has no interest in him.

However, Liu Tianle, who has experienced social training, is no longer a rookie in junior high school. It doesn't matter if he is not interested. Good girls are afraid of boys.

Just lick it!

After all, he was a young classmate, and the relationship between the young people was not bad. Although Wu Lanlan didn't like him, she didn't have any bad feelings for him, and even had a little liking for him. This was a very good foundation.

Liu Tianle was not ugly, and his salary was good at the time, he dressed decently, he was generous in his actions, and he was willing to please Wu Lanlan a little bit.

Wang Powang, a famous emotional expert in the Northern Song Dynasty, once summed up the five tricks of picking up girls-【Pan Lv Deng Xiaoxian】.

Liu Tianle's comprehensive evaluation accounted for 0.5 [Pan], 0.2 [Deng], and 1.5 [Small], barely enough to make up a beggar's version.

After a fierce chase, Wu Lanlan, who was still a college student at the time, was really soaked in his hands, and he achieved a counterattack.

But after the counterattack, there is a very real problem.

Wu Lanlan is a graduate student of Zhejiang University. Now she is a student and has no source of income. Liu Tianle can still barely maintain the posture of being "well-matched".

If he just had a playful mentality, Liu Tianle wouldn't bother with these things, but he really likes Wu Lanlan and wants to be together for the rest of his life.

So in 2009, Liu Tianle chose to resign and opened a restaurant with his savings from work + funds supported by his parents + some loans.

It mainly focuses on the tastes of southwestern Shandong and northern Jiangsu, and the target group is those who work and live in Shanghai.

In the end, Liu Tianle borrowed more than 20 yuan in debt, and finally opened the restaurant.

I thought the business would be booming, pay back the capital in half a year, make money in one year, open a branch in two years, join the franchise in five years, ring the bell in ten years, marry a goddess, and reach the pinnacle of life.

But in fact, it barely maintains a balance of income and expenditure for half a year, and has a small loss for a year. Now it has been open for almost two years, and it is only a breath away before closing down.

Now let alone settling down in the Yangtze River Delta, he dare not stay at home even when he returns to his hometown, for fear of encountering debt...

"Da da da……"

The transport ship fired all over, but none of the heads were taken. Just as he was about to change the bullets, he didn't know which sniper rifle exploded his head.

boom!
Liu Tianle angrily slapped the mouse on the computer table, and the owner of the Internet cafe sitting at the bar near him looked up at him in displeasure.

But looking at Liu Tianle's unshaven beard and bloodshot eyes, he just muttered something, but didn't say much.

The QQ icon hanging in the lower right corner of the computer kept flashing. Liu Tianle knew that Wu Lanlan was looking for him, but he didn't know how to face it.

He was afraid of hearing the words he didn't want to hear the most, so he ran back to his hometown from Shanghai, hanging on QQ, but never dared to click on it.

Taking off the earphones, Liu Tianle went to the toilet, and when he came back, he heard someone shouting from the Internet cafe.

"Cao Xuan's new song is out, you can watch it on Weibo."

Liu Tianle was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly thought that Wu Lanlan, who is a die-hard fan of Cao Xuan, should also be listening to the song right now, laughed at himself, and opened the game again.

But I don’t know if it was intentional, and I played “Cross Fire” for more than half an hour. The heads in my hand were only in single digits, but I hung up more than 100 times.

"What a broken machine."

Angrily patted the keyboard, Liu Tianle deftly turned the blame, the owner of the Internet cafe raised his head again in displeasure, glared at him several times, and then looked down at "Mythology".

In it, Lu Su, played by Liu Tianxian, is lovingly looking at the pale Yi Xiaochuan lying on the bed.

Liu Tianle, who couldn't play the game, fiddled with the computer aimlessly, and then unknowingly opened Weibo. The home page was Cao Xuan's new song MV
Liu Tianle hesitated for a moment, and finally clicked on the video.

At the beginning of the MV, there was no music directly, but a noisy underground corridor.

At this time, Cao Xuan's figure appeared.Unlike most of the glamorous images, Cao Xuan in the MV is young and shabby.

With slightly loose and fluffy hair, he is wearing a long-sleeved logo that was popular in the last century. The English on the logo is printed wrongly. His lower body is washed and whitish jeans. He is holding an aluminum lunch box in his right hand and a guitar bag. A dark and cramped basement.

The basement is tidy, but the environment here still looks a bit crowded and desolate.

After putting the guitar away, Cao Xuan opened the lunch box. Inside were two steamed buns that had been completely cooled and a few chopsticks of shredded potatoes.

Then Cao Xuan rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, found the half pack of seasoning powder left over from the instant noodles he bought last time, made soup with hot water, and made steamed buns to eat.

The entire MV took 1 minute to film Cao Xuan entering the room, "cooking" and eating, and Cao Xuan in the screen drank all the instant noodle seasoning soup.

All the audience felt sad.

At this time, the prelude finally sounded, and the soothing piano sound carried a touch of sadness. Cao Xuan in the video also took out the guitar and played it lightly, and the deep and magnetic singing sounded.

"An excellent person like me should have lived a brilliant life

Why have you been floating in the sea of ​​people for more than 20 years?
Smart people like me have long since bid farewell to innocence
Why do you still use a love to exchange for a scar?

......"

As if a sharp arrow pierced his chest, Liu Tianle stared blankly at the video, Cao Xuan's singing sounded in his ears, but all he thought about was himself.

When he was [-] or [-] years old, he was full of vigor. Even if his college entrance examination results were not satisfactory, he still felt that he could break out of a new world with his ability and overtake on corners.

In the last year of university, when an internship opportunity came, he thought that if he could work steadily, he would be able to get promoted and raise his salary.

However, no one told him that the internship arranged for him by the school was to go to the factory to screw screws.

Finding an insurance job and barely making it through, and having a goddess partner, he is full of confidence. He wants to start a business and achieve class leap.

He failed, and the business was a mess.

It also succeeded, successfully jumping from the proletariat to the negative class.

He thought he was the Son of Destiny, but in fact he was a natural grandson.

Taking out the white general from his pocket, Liu Tianle lit the cigarette expressionlessly, the smoke was lingering, and the circles of his eyes were slightly red, and he didn't know if it was smoked.

In the video, the MV has changed again. Cao Xuan walked out of the basement, sang for others, went to the set to do group performances, struggled all day, and finally got two crumpled banknotes.

Holding the money in his hand, Cao Xuan wandered around the entrance of a stewed meat shop for a long time, and finally reluctantly moved away from the roasted chicken stewed meat, and bought a pack of the cheapest instant noodles.

Back in the basement, he happily ate up the noodles. Looking at the remaining soup, he took out another cold steamed bun and soaked it in.

Finally, after eating everything, Cao Xuan carefully put away the remaining half packet of seasonings, sat on the bed, played the piano and sang.

"Those who are lost like me, those who seek like me
A mediocre person like me, how many people have you seen
Vulgar people like me never like to pretend to be deep
Why do I suddenly panic again when I hear old songs occasionally?

......"

When Liu Tianle saw this scene, he suddenly felt a little empathy. In fact, when he was a child, he liked eating instant noodles the most.

However, instant noodles were a good thing at that time, and a pack of all kinds of Master Kong cost 1 yuan, which was a rare luxury for rural children, and the adults at home would not buy them.
The small brands of their hometown that they can eat, 5 cents a pack or 1 yuan three packs, occasionally adults are happy, or if they are sick, they can get what they want.

When Liu Tianle was a child, he had a wish that he could eat instant noodles until he was full. He ate instant noodles every day, three times a day.

However, when he could really do this, he couldn't find the feeling he had when he was a child.

Even because of the bad economy in the past two years, he often eats instant noodles to satisfy his hunger, which makes him want to vomit when he sees instant noodles now.

Since then, he has known that growing up is not a good thing, just as he understands now that he is just an ordinary person among all living beings.

And when you understand these principles, it is often very painful.

"People like me who are unwilling to be ordinary

how many people in the world

weird people like me
Will someone feel sorry for you?

......"

Liu Tianle smoked cigarettes one by one, and listened to the song "Someone Like Me" over and over again, her eyes became red and red, and her heart throbbed.

Finally, he closed Weibo, and then opened the QQ chat page that he had avoided before.

[Lele, are you there? 】

【Lele, give me a message】

【Why didn't you answer the phone call】

【Are you okay, I called the police】

[I've come to Shanghai, where are you? 】

[I know about the hotel, it’s no big deal, we can face it together]

[I asked someone, the things in your store can be worth some money when they are exchanged. In the end, I did the math, and I owe about 20 for miscellaneous things. I will graduate from graduate school next year, and a company in Shanghai wants to recruit me, with a monthly salary of 6000. , mentioned 8000 in half a year, and you can earn 4000-5000 if you find a job again, and the two of us will pay it off in two years...]

【We are still young, we can't stay in the devil, we will go back to our hometown at worst】

[Liu Tianle, don't pretend to be dead for me, you were chasing me with a stern look at that time, talk to me]

【…】

Since three days ago, Wu Lanlan sent hundreds of messages, Liu Tianle cried and laughed while watching, and finally cried on the keyboard.

A few people playing games nearby looked at him in surprise, and the owner of the Internet cafe also pulled away from the TV drama, wiping away the tears that died because of Lu Su.

After pausing, the boss got up and came to Liu Tianle's side, patted him on the shoulder, and persuaded him gently.

"Brother, I have already discovered that something is wrong with you these past two days. Did you get cheated? Brother is someone who has been there before. I will give you some advice. There is no obstacle in the world that you can't get over. Good women are only found in TV dramas these days..."

.........

After the song "Someone Like Me" was posted on Weibo, in just 700 hours, it had 45 million plays, 10 forwards, and [-]+ comments.

[What a broken song, I cried like a dog in the morning]

【A good song is Fei Yan】

[25 years old, jobless, lovelorn, nothing achieved, dreams shattered, the most painful thing in the world is not that you are an ordinary person, but that you can only live as an ordinary person despite all your efforts]

[Four words, every word punishes the heart]

【Every one of us is like this, from being pretentious to accepting that we are ordinary】

[Facts have proved that only Cao Xuan can surpass Cao Xuan]

【Boss has a lot of inspirational songs, but I prefer the ones that go straight to the soul】

[This song is like a knife, peeling off the pain in people's hearts]

【The last song that made me cry was "Old Boy"】

[Watched the interview, this song is about Cao Xuan chatting with a young friend, learned about his confused situation, and then based on some thoughts he had when he was not famous, and finally wrote this song]

[It is worth mentioning that the clips in the MV are Cao Xuan's own real experiences]

[In fact, aside from the lyrics, if you go by your experience, this can be regarded as an inspirational song, as awesome as Cao Xuan, and he has also experienced a period of trough and confusion]

【Yes, I’m afraid that Cao Xuan, who used instant noodle soup to make steamed buns at that time, would never have imagined that he would have achieved what he is today】

【Friends, somehow, I regained my confidence】

[Hahaha, Cao Xuan was not even willing to buy instant noodles back then, I can still eat meat at least once in a while]

[The universe is still uncertain, you and I are both dark horses, let's rush]

[A man should survive death and be blessed in misfortune]

【Ah, ah, it's on fire】

【Uh, don't believe it, the guy surnamed Cao cheated】

【…】

It took only half a day for "Someone Like Me" to reach the top of Weibo's trending searches, and before this, it had already won the top spot on the QQ Star Music website.

However.This is just the beginning.

Starting from October 10, Cao Xuan fans and a large number of passer-by fans carried out fixed-point blasting on radio stations, TV music programs, and online music platforms.

On October 10rd, the radio front announced that it had fallen, and the on-demand list was captured by "People Like Me". The host of Jinmen Music Radio Station described Cao Xuan's fans as "the craziest experience in his career".

In this regard, fans of Cao Xuan said that the host is still on the job for too short a time.

In recent years, Fanxing fans have been very gentle in the rankings. In 2007, "Human World" did not even specially organize fans to promote the rankings on a large scale.

Their real peak period is the stage of the Stars Trilogy. At that time, it is the real Buddhas who block and kill Buddhas, and gods who block and kill gods.

It seems crazy now, but in fact, many fans did not participate in the war due to school or family reasons, otherwise the level of madness would be doubled.

On the morning of October 10, TV also announced the fall.

The CCTV music channel even issued a statement on its official website, saying that the song-ordering phone is being repaired due to a technical failure, and the song-ordering service will not be accepted for the time being.

There have only been two times in history that the music channel of China Central Television admitted to ordering songs on the charts.

Well, the last time I was also a fan of Cao Xuan, in 2000 when "Bright Stars" hit the charts, CCTV's phone calls related to song requests were blown up.

At that time, it was a real technical failure. It is said that the phone stopped working and there is still a legend left on CCTV.

Now that the Internet is in full swing, the main battlefield of music charts is actually not radio and television.

This time, many old fans got used to playing the charts, so they made a rush, but soon turned their attention to the online platform.

Needless to say, the main platform of QQ Star, Cao Xuan fans told the fans of the three giants of QQ Star with practical actions.

When brothers and sisters are chasing stars, you still pee and mud!

It doesn't matter at ordinary times, Cao Xuan fans don't bother to get involved in any battles for the renewal of the music scene, and even like to see an old enemy like Xiao Zhou being beaten.

But during the time period when Cao Xuan is releasing a song, they can't sit idly by. No matter what giants or new stars, it's best to obediently give up the C position, otherwise don't blame them for bullying children.

There is one thing to say, the fans of the three giants of QQ Star are very powerful and cohesive, otherwise they would not be able to suppress Xiao Zhou.

But then again, no matter how strong the fighting power is, it can't hold back Cao Xuan's large number of fans, and his fans and nationality are second to none among all singers.

Fighting and cursing may cause waves, but if you vote for the rankings, one person's saliva can drown other fans.

That group of Korean fans can be said to be the most difficult group of fans in the Internet entertainment circle, but they dare not provoke Cao Xuan easily.

Otherwise, it will not only cause siege in the country, but also cause a large number of overseas fans such as Japan, South Korea and Xintai to attack their idols, which is commonly known as copying their hometowns.

The three giants of QQ Star were defeated, and then Cao Xuan's fans took over various online music platforms.

Kuwo, Kugou, Jiuku, Sogou, Tingmusic.com, Popmusic.com, Qianqianjingting...

But every online music website has Cao Xuan's fans, and what's interesting is that "Someone Like Me" is a QQ star debut + exclusive.

In principle, other music websites do not have the copyright of this song.

Unable to keep this song from being too popular, some small websites began to steal and upload it in the name of the user, or simply changed it to a similar name.

Even if it is caught, it is uploaded by the user and has nothing to do with the website.

However, this can only be used by small websites. As long as it is not large-scale, QQ Star may not be tied to it, and it is enough to hit it occasionally.

But a big website like Kugou is also a direct competitor of QQ Star, so it will be closely watched. If you play this trick, you will be waiting for a lawyer's letter.

So Kugouku and other big websites do not have the song "Someone Like Me".

But Cao Xuan's fans didn't care about it, and finally pushed a song called "People Like Me" to the top of the list, making the heads of several platforms tremble with anger.

"Someone Like Me" topped the major charts, and the popularity was extremely high.

It even caused many netizens to imitate the lyrics and make various adaptations, forming "like my body", which has become a new popular culture.

In addition to popularity, "People Like Me" has a very good reputation. The QQ star comment area has almost become a gathering place for stories and life insights, and some music critics have also given high praise.

By the way, Xiao Zhou was pulled out to whip the corpse. His new album "Cross Era" in May was hailed as the worst album since his debut.

The best-rated album in the original time and space should be "Fireworks Are Cold", but now Cao Xuan has taken over it. Although Xiao Zou added another Chinese-style song, the standard is actually lower than "Fireworks Are Cold".

Life was difficult at first, but now the first song of Cao Xuan's new album has received rave reviews, which has brought him a lot of pressure.

But Xiao Zhou is used to it.

Every time he performed well, the outside world and the media would always use Cao Xuan to beat him up, to make him not be proud.

If he doesn't perform well, the outside world will use Cao Xuan to teach him a lesson, telling him to learn from Cao Xuan and focus on music.

The most irritating thing is that it doesn't matter if his own performance is good or bad. Every time Cao Xuan releases a new album, the media and the outside world have to give him a few words.

The bad thing is that he has a good temper, and he has a very good personal relationship with Cao Xuan, otherwise he wouldn't have a good impression if he didn't treat Cao Xuan as a demon.

Up to now, Xiao Zhou has already laid down and accepted the reality. In this life, he is destined to live in the shadow of Cao Xuan...
