My singer girlfriend is super fierce

A music studio in Chengdu.

Yang Kai is 40 years old this year. He is a second-tier singer in China. He has one or two well-known representative works, but his other works are average. In addition, his personal image is not outstanding, so his overall development is lukewarm.

For a singer like him, it is not a problem to play a supporting role on variety shows, take on commercial performances, and make a decent living.

But Yang Kai has high demands on himself and he is quite ambitious.

Although he is not young anymore, he did not give up like some singers of the same age. Instead, he has been working hard on making music, hoping to reach the next level.

At least, add one or two more songs to your "masterpiece" playlist.

It is no exaggeration to say that I am almost sick of singing those two songs every time I perform at a commercial performance...

Therefore, Yang Kai has been actively searching for works that suit him. This is no secret in the industry, but he has never found one.

In fact, this is normal. Yang Kai signed a contract with a very small agency, while the top songwriters in the industry are firmly controlled by major entertainment companies.

Under normal circumstances, once a slightly good work appears, it will be divided up immediately and it will not be the turn of an "outsider" like him.

No matter how much money you spend, you can only pick what others have left.

It is for this reason that "original singers" like Ye Zhiqiu who have strong independent creative abilities are so precious.

Because, at least when it comes to his works, he doesn't have to be controlled by others.

However, Yang Kai has been lucky recently. Through various connections and by paying a high price, he finally got a new song that he was satisfied with from a well-known creator in the industry.

The name of the song is "Past Events". I heard that it was originally written for a superstar singer in the industry, but the other party had some setbacks recently, so the song was no longer useful, so it fell into his hands.

After getting the song, Yang Kai carefully recorded and filmed the MV, and also picked a date to release it online.

After the song was released, it received a good response and received a lot of praise.

Then, the song steadily gained popularity and took a week to reach the top of the "New Songs Chart" and "Hot Songs Chart".

Topping the charts means this song is basically a success. In a few days, he will participate in several popular variety shows to promote it...

Yang Kai felt that the second spring of his career was beckoning to him.

What’s wrong with being 40? It’s time to be famous!

However, as expected, an accident occurred.

Without any warning, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly announced that he would release a new personal EP, and that three new songs would be released consecutively.

The next day, the first new song "Ideal Thirty" was released.

Ye Zhiqiu's move caught Yang Kai and his team off guard.

They attach great importance to the song "Past Events" and the release date is carefully selected to ensure that it will not conflict with other singers with too strong abilities.

However, he didn't expect that after all his planning, he would run into Ye Zhiqiu in the end!

All of a sudden, Yang Kai and his team lost their morale.

After all, it is hard to find any singer in China who dares to release songs and compete with Ye Zhiqiu, except those who really don’t care about the results.

Then, Yang Kai also listened to the song "Ideal Thirty Years".

Honestly, he thought it was great to sing it well, and even better to write it.

The melody of this kind of song sounds ordinary, but its lyrics can touch your heart, and this effect is even greater for middle-aged men.

After listening to the song, and looking at the positive reviews from fans online, as well as the trending searches on Weibo, Yang Kai felt 70% disappointed.

However, he still held on to one last glimmer of hope.

Early in the morning, Yang Kai and his team members sat in front of the computer, refreshing the music software charts with the mouse.

The “New Songs List” is updated every morning, so the song currently ranked first is still “Past Events”.

The current situation is that Ye Zhiqiu is going to release three new songs in a row, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for me to resist. I will have to give up this "number one" position sooner or later.

But if he had defended longer, he wouldn't have lost so badly. On the contrary, it would have been good for him. At least he could have used this opportunity to promote himself...

"updated!"

Someone shouted, and at the same time, the screen, which was blank and loading in circles, was refreshed.

Everyone quickly turned their eyes to the top of the new song list.

First place: "Ideal Thirty"!

Second place: "Past"!

"..." Seeing this, Yang Kai's heart finally died.

"This... reached the top of the new song chart in one day, this is too impressive."

"I think the popularity of yesterday's trending searches was not right."

"I can only say that Ye Zhiqiu is still Ye Zhiqiu."

"Our luck is really bad. We avoided the charts of Yu Caiwei and Qu Yitong before. Who would have thought that Ye Zhiqiu would suddenly release a song?"

Inside the room, everyone on the team spoke to comfort Yang Kai.

“Okay, don’t rush to comfort me.” Yang Kai shook his head with a wry smile.

"I've been in the industry for more than ten years, I can handle this kind of blow."

"If you are not as skilled as others, there is nothing much to say. At most, you can just continue to be a second-tier player."

This 40-year-old tall man with a mustache has a gentle temper that does not match his rough appearance at all.

Normally, Yang Kai was very kind to his employees and was quite popular, so everyone’s condolences were genuine.

But there is really nothing that can be done about it, since the opponent is Ye Zhiqiu.

“Don’t feel sorry.” Yang Kai, who recovered the fastest, said.

"Since we have already lost, we should just appreciate their work."

"Didn't Ye Zhiqiu have a new song today? It's been released now, right? Let's listen to it?"

Everyone nodded, and an assistant came forward to operate the computer and quickly entered Ye Zhiqiu's personal interface in the music software.

Sure enough, at the top of the song list, there was a song I had never seen before.

The name of the song is "Northeast Folk Song".

Like the song "Ideal Thirty" below, the song title is followed by the words "Promotional song for the movie "Hello!" Mr. Tree".

When seeing the title of the song, Yang Kai was slightly stunned.

Another folk song?

The same goes for the previous song "Ideal Thirty". It seems that this album by Ye Zhiqiu should be a national folk song album.

Moreover, as a native of Northeast China, he had some hidden expectations for this song deep in his heart.

It has nothing to do with anything else, it’s just because of my hometown complex.

At this time, the music has already started.

At the beginning, there is a vast, slightly low and sad prelude, followed by Ye Zhiqiu's slightly hoarse voice.

[The plum blossoms of the 39th day of the lunar year have turned the snow on the mountain red

The shadow of the depressed branches and the crescent moon shine on people sleeping

The young man was driving the carriage, holding a long whip in his hand

The river breeze blew across his red face

The sound of gongs and drums is the first month

The ground is red with the sound of firecrackers

Every household lights up lanterns

Another year of good harvest...】

Everyone in the room had different feelings about the song.

Some people think it's OK, some people think it's nice to listen to, but the lyrics don't seem to be as profound as the previous song "Ideal Thirty"...

At this moment, Yang Kai was listening to the song with a dazed expression, his body motionless.

The lyrics of this song may sound ordinary to listeners who were not born in Northeast China.

But for him, the pictures depicted in every line of the lyrics are deeply engraved in his heart.
