Liu Yajie finally left, but before leaving, she insisted that Jiang Hua record "Melody".
This song had a tumultuous fate. From its birth, it faced death.
How to put it... Jiang Hua wouldn't sing it on any occasion, not even in private.
It was too damn embarrassing. It seemed that Tao Ze also refused to sing this song later, and this was the reason.
It was sealed away as soon as it came out. How pitiful.
The song was uploaded to NetEase Cloud Music without Jiang Hua's knowledge.
As soon as it was online, it exploded in popularity.
Everyone was tired of those Korean pop songs. When this song appeared, it was like a fresh breeze blowing into the music scene.
It still had the flavor of Jiang's love songs.
"This song seems to have a story behind it."
Then, the vast internet users didn't even need to dig. Liu Yajie's English name was right there on Baidu Encyclopedia.
Damn, he really did write a song for her.
With the boost from "Melody", this song directly suppressed those Korean songs, skyrocketing to number one.
Fans finally celebrated wildly.
"Wow, after being dominated for so long, it still takes Jiang Hua. This song is awesome."
"I wonder how Melody feels. Anyway, if a man wrote a song for me, I'd definitely fall for him."
"Oh no, will Ms. Liu rekindle old feelings?"
This song quickly rose to number one on the Douyin music chart as well.
Ms. Liu directly became the number one ex in Chinese music, which was unexpected for everyone.
Mainly because she was famous herself and had a likable personality.
Jiang Hua was speechless. His computer had been tampered with.
He called directly to scold: "Liu Yajie, you messed with my computer and uploaded the song. Are you sick or something?"
It was social suicide.
Couldn't you just listen to it yourself? Why upload it using my computer?
Even if you invested 10 million, you can't do this, messing with someone else's computer.
Damn, this is going to be the death of me. Now it's really hard to explain.
On the other end of the phone, Ms. Liu also complained: "I saw your fans were all calling for you to release a new song, so I just uploaded it. I'm sorry."
Nonsense, that's just an excuse.
"Alright, don't be angry. At worst, I'll respond to it."
Jiang Hua sighed: "Fine, don't come out and make a mess. Just focus on your acting. That's it."
After saying this, Jiang Hua hung up the phone and logged into his Douyin account.
This was his only account now, and it was a work account.
He posted a short video, which was also the first video on this account.
Being able to be a singer to this extent broke everyone's stereotypes about the music circle.
Other singers couldn't wait to post videos every day, but Jiang Hua hadn't posted a single video. This account's followers were approaching 20 million again. It could only be said that there were too many people in Da Xia.
"The chorus part of 'Melody' was written a few years ago, but I couldn't finish it. Recently, I've experienced a lot, and finally completed the recording of the entire song."
"I'm making a response here. 'Melody' is explained in the English dictionary as a pleasing sequence of sounds. It has no other meaning. Please don't make wild guesses, and don't negatively affect Ms. Melody. By the way, this is a work account and won't be used to respond to personal issues in the future. I hope everyone will come to Hangzhou to watch opera. Thank you."
This video directly exploded.
"Wow, finally saw the real person. Jiang Hua must have been scared by the haters. Don't worry, we absolutely won't hate on you this time. If this account gets deleted again, we'll directly dox the haters' addresses."
"Big bro, you're really something. No wonder people call you the founding father. When will you teach opera classes again?"
"Quick, look at the rankings. Damn, it's too fierce. The Koreans have finally been knocked down."
I finally understand where the lyrics of this song came from.
"Composed a melody without a period, unable to continue... Isn't this exactly the same as what Jiang Hua said? What can I say, big shot? You don't need to explain. You're too awesome. I'm going to crown this song as the number one ex song in Chinese music, no problem, right?"
With the popularity of "Melody", everyone was looking forward to Jiang Hua's new album. After all, he had signed with NetEase Cloud to release two albums a year.
Now it was almost the end of the year, and this year's task hadn't been completed yet.
...
Jiang Hua was very troubled now. He already had ideas for the new Yue Opera, but for the new album, he had discussed it with the diva.
She had just released an album less than a month ago, and it wouldn't be good to release another one so soon.
So Xingchen Entertainment's first album still had to be handed over to him, the boss.
But now he was much more relaxed. He didn't have to perform himself, just needed to hand over the sheet music to his subordinates.
However, on the novel side, he was now earning nearly 20,000 a day. He wanted to stop, but couldn't bear to.
It was all money. A little tiredness was worth it.
"Jiang Hua, come out quickly. How long are you planning to hide?"
Trouble had come. Two figures appeared at the door of Jiang Hua's independent small office.
Jiang Hua slapped his forehead. See, trouble had come.
"Oh, Yunxiao and Junjun are here. Quick, sit down. What tea would you like? How about pre-rain Dragon Well?"
Junjun curiously surveyed this office.
Jiang Hua was doing well, having gotten an independent office, equipped with a big computer, and even a piano in the back.
It didn't look cheap at all.
She wasn't nervous in front of familiar people anymore and walked to the piano to touch it a few times.
Jiang Hua smiled: "What, do you want to play the piano? Try it?"
Junjun quickly shook her head: "No, no, I only know a little bit."
Li Yunxiao looked at Jiang Hua: "Jiang Hua, you've become the number one ex in Chinese music."
What kind of talk is this, what does it mean to be the number one ex in Chinese music.
"'Melody' is just a melody. Haven't I explained it? It's rare for you to have a day off today. How about I take you go-karting? Don't always be training."
Racing cars was unaffordable, but go-karting was still doable.
"Great, great! I haven't gone out to play for a long time."
Junjun clapped her hands, showing her excitement.
This girl was still good, carefree and single-minded about opera. It's hard for such people not to succeed.
Unlike him, with too many distractions and no creativity, only able to maintain a living by copying some music.
His life was pretty much wasted this time around.
"But aren't you at work now?"
Jiang Hua clapped his hands. His title as the art troupe's street wanderer wasn't for nothing.
Now he didn't even need to clock in and out. It was simple to go out if he wanted to.
"Let's go. This bit of time doesn't matter."
Li Yunxiao also expressed her excitement. When girls are together, they usually go shopping at malls. From childhood to adulthood, they rarely played with boys.
She was also looking forward to the things boys play.
She'd let him off today, but he'd have to make up for it another day.
"Should we call Qingqing?"
Jiang Hua asked. Qingqing had been a bit troubled recently, seemingly a sign of falling in love.
"Haha, Qingqing has a performance today. Next time."
These poor working people.
