Chapter 178

"Oh, oh, oh, I understand; just releasing it in a few surrounding small countries, that also counts as a global simultaneous release."

"Right, this is also the routine of many singers; going around the neighborhood and calling it a world tour concert."

"Exactly, movies are the same; showing in a few countries covered by Chinese language and calling it a global release; the entertainment industry is just like that."

"I think Master Thousand Fingers is quite proud; why did she also start picking up these bad habits? This bragging is big enough!"

……

The operations department of Cool Cat Music was holding an emergency meeting.

The manager looked serious.

"Everyone heard both songs just now; regarding our resource allocation, does anyone have anything to say?"

Someone below laughed instantly.

"Boss, is there any question about this? Are you questioning our basic aesthetic?"

"Exactly, although my English isn't good, Su Meng's new song is just too flavorful."

"And Bai Xiao's singing skills are so strong; singing it with this vocal range is simply amazing."

"Didn't you notice that MV? It's so creative."

"The only pity is that Bai Xiao's tone is too big, actually saying something like global simultaneous release? But it has nothing to do with us."

"Boss, does such an obvious thing need a meeting?"

The manager smiled slightly and said indifferently.

"This is why I can reach the position of operations department manager, and you can only be ordinary staff."

"Next, we..."

……

The operations department of Cool You Music.

The manager was leisurely holding a teacup, pointing at a few people.

"Right, right, right, that's it, highlight Su Meng!"

"Don't look at how he offended CCTV during this time and seems to have kept a low profile."

"But for us, he is the real traffic password."

"And this song is really good to listen to!"

The people below were skillfully operating the computer according to his instructions.

A small staff member raised his hand and said weakly.

"Manager, isn't Hua Hua Chenyu also going to release a song? He has quite a few fans too..."

The manager snorted coldly and said indifferently.

"This is why I can reach the position of operations department manager, and you can only be ordinary staff."

"If it were normal times, giving Hua Hua Chenyu some resources wouldn't matter, but running into Su Meng?"

"Hehe..."

While speaking, the interface of Cool You had already changed, with Su Meng and Bai Xiao on the left and right of the large banner.

In the middle was the song title "...", which was particularly eye-catching.

The manager nodded with satisfaction and said proudly.

"Come, open Cool Cat, let me see how they did it, but it must be the same idea as mine."

The people below quickly opened the Cool Cat Music program, and the manager scanned it at a glance and was instantly stunned.

I saw Su Meng and Bai Xiao on the left of the homepage banner, and a small Hua Hua Chenyu placed in the bottom right corner.

The link was also split into two, with "..." on the left and Hua Hua Chenyu's new song on the right.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, who couldn't see this stance?

This damn thing is blatantly setting up a ring!

Looking at them, then looking at his own platform.

The manager sighed slightly; no wonder they could become the boss of music platforms.

This damn thing is really good at picking fights!

In the office, many people were secretly observing their manager.

Does your face hurt?

Seeing their expression, the manager was instantly annoyed and embarrassed.

"What are you still standing there for?"

"Why aren't you hurrying up to work?"

"Can't you even copy homework?"

In a group called "CEO Fan Group Three," it had been silent for a long time.

But today, a message suddenly sent broke the silence.

"Is there anyone still alive in the once-mighty CEO fan group?"

After a long while, the group was still silent.

The account called "Maruko" still didn't give up and sent another sentence.

"I have a premonition that CEO Su is about to return!"

This sentence finally had some effect, and someone said listlessly.

"Now the CEO has gone bankrupt; to survive, he's even started taking funeral jobs!"

"Where did you see that the CEO is returning?"

Seeing someone reply, Maruko instantly became excited.

"Didn't you see the news? Su Meng's latest work is out!"

"'Rolling in the Deep'!"

"This is an English song; isn't it very high-class?"

"Whether it's Master Su, Beggar Su, or Sect Leader Su, they are all biased towards traditional culture."

"Does this mean our CEO has started to pick up his vibe again and is preparing to revive?"

Her words seemed to attract the attention of many people.

People replied one after another.

"Really or fake? Is our CEO from before coming back?"

"Are you kidding? It's just a song."

"I think it's possible; after all, fluent English is also the CEO's trademark."

Seeing her words had an effect, Maruko became even more excited.

"And didn't you notice the name of this song? There is a great mystery in it!"

The group instantly became awkward, and some people silently started checking English-Chinese dictionaries.

Others said righteously.

"I'm only in the second year of junior high; it's normal not to understand!"

Maruko hurriedly explained.

"'Rolling in the Deep', translated into Chinese, means falling into the abyss!"

"They say songs express ambitions; does this mean the CEO is expressing some kind of emotion?"

"What abyss did the CEO fall into?"

"I think Su Meng has realized that his previous bumpkin performance was an abyss for him!"

"So this song of his is actually saying he is about to climb out of the abyss!"

"Wow!" Someone in the group became excited instantly.

"Saying it like that, I suddenly feel this song is so burning!"

"It feels like the God of War has returned!"

Someone said, puzzled.

"I've read novels about the God of War returning; is it just like this?"

"The God of War returns, discovers his wife has been sold to a brothel, and is instantly filled with rage."

"With a single command, he gathers one hundred thousand troops and storms into the brothel..."

"To patronize his wife's business!"

The group fell silent all at once.

After a long while, someone drifted out a faint comment.

"The website where you read those novels, does it also have a lot of videos? Like Madou, Tianmei, Jinding, Maomi, 91, or something?"

"How do you know that?" the previous person asked, confused.

The group suddenly became lively, all posting the same thing in unison.

"Link please!"

"Link please +1!"

"Link please"

Seeing that the topic she had sparked had gone off the rails, Wanzi was completely bewildered.

Aren't the fan groups of a domineering CEO supposed to be ignorant young girls?

How come it feels like you all know so much!

She hurriedly interrupted them.

"Let's stop this topic right here."

"If we keep talking, this group won't even be able to survive."

"If you really want to read novels, read the official ones; I recommend Feilu Novel."

"There are two books in there where the protagonist is actually named Su Meng."

"Forget it, let's talk about the song."

"Regardless, this is a signal that the domineering CEO has returned, we must support..."

……

It wasn't just Su Meng's domineering CEO fan group; countless people became interested in this new song.

Including Master Su's fans, Su Qi'er's fans, Sect Leader Su's fans, Su the Great Bluffer's fans...

Bai Xiao Ling's fans were naturally not few in number either.

For most people, Su Meng's songs... that stuff is simply like opening a blind box!

You never know what kind of song he will actually sing.

Setting aside those traditional Chinese music pieces, the pop songs alone are quite numerous.

The songs released earlier were still considered normal.

"Map of Mountains and Rivers," "Hero's Song," "Ruling the World," "Grass on the Path," "The Rest of My Life"...

Although these had different styles, they were still considered normal.

And then?

Instantly, "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style" turned directly into a tacky hit, becoming the favorite of square-dancing aunties.

What else?

He wrote "Piggy Song" for Deng Deng Deng Ziqi, which actually made her a spokesperson for pork!

And this song became incredibly popular in kindergartens.

This is just damn weird.

It was hard enough to write a song to sing at the Spring Festival Gala, and it ended up being a collaboration with a group of old farmers!

Now, this song, looking at the name, seems very normal, but what kind of surprises will it have?

……

Under the anticipation of the masses, this song was finally officially released!

Although it was in the middle of the night, countless night owls clicked on the major music platforms immediately.

Only then did they pleasantly discover that this song actually had an MV?

Many people clicked play immediately.

Despite Su Meng having so many songs, this is the first official MV, right?

The scene unfolded.

In a slightly dilapidated and messy room, Bai Xiao Ling sat quietly on a chair.

The music started, and Bai Xiao Ling began to sing.

……"

The mellow vocal line instantly drew everyone in.

The singing continued, and the MV continued as well.

The filming of this MV was not complex; there were only three rooms.

In the first room, Bai Xiao Ling sat on a chair and sang the whole time.

In the second room, a dancer danced in a room covered in white flour and dust.

In the third room, the floor was covered with glass cups filled with water, which vibrated continuously with the drum beats of the music.

And the drummer played the drums behind the stairs, with porcelain plates being shattered against the wall one by one following the drum beats.

Such a simple MV, paired with this piece of music, complemented each other perfectly.

Especially the vibration of the glass cups, which had a kind of inexplicable impact.

Unknowingly, it made everyone become addicted.

……

On Weibo's trending list, a new topic suddenly appeared and soared rapidly.

#Su Meng Bai Xiao Ling New Song#

Under the topic, countless people had already started a screen-scrolling mode.

"It's so good, so catchy, I've already listened to it five times and can't stop."

"My English isn't good, I don't understand the meaning, but this melody is just too good, right? I can hum along to it now."

"Is this MV too catchy? That scene of the glass cups vibrating is just classic!"

"Damn it, I'm going to cram English! I must sing this at KTV next time!"

"Is Bai Xiao Ling's voice too versatile? Her vocal lines in several songs are all different."

"Can Su Meng actually write English songs? And write them so well? Who said he was a country bumpkin?"

"I just went to the Great Mage next door to take a look; that song is really... hard to describe."

"I also went to scout the enemy's situation and watched his MV; it was just changing clothes the whole time, but fortunately, he was a bit more restrained this time and didn't perform rituals on a large scale."

"Didn't you listen to his song? He didn't perform a ritual, he switched to chanting spells! Damn, he just sang one line over and over again; if that's not chanting a spell, what is?"

……

In a narrow and cramped rental apartment.

A hardcore otaku was playing the song on a cheap speaker bought for 9.9 with free shipping while scanning the trending list.

Seeing how high the popularity of the discussion about this song was online, his eyes lit up, and suddenly inspiration struck.

He opened the backend of Feilu Novel on his computer and tapped away on the keyboard with a clatter.

He was still muttering to himself.

"As a total loser, riding the wave of popularity to earn a living shouldn't be considered excessive, right?"

"The great readers will definitely not mind."

He was a web novel author with the pen name Xianyun Xianyun Shisilang.

He was currently writing an entertainment novel called "Entertainment: You're Asked to Be Down-to-Earth, You Go Do Odd Jobs."

The one-finger zen technique was activated, and after a full six hours, he finally finished a chapter.

In the novel, his protagonist also sang this song and filmed this MV by following the pattern.

Did you think that was everything?

No!

In this novel, an artificial intelligence named "MOSS" secretly recorded all of this.
