The little girl stretched out her hand and asked, "Brother, who was singing just now?"
The boy, who was not much older than her, stroked her head, the sadness in his eyes having faded a lot compared to before:
"They're a girl group called Moonlight Girls, four very talented people. Did you hear the song we just sang? They sang it just for us."
The girl hummed, then laughed and touched her stomach with her hand: "Brother, will they give us something to eat? I'm really hungry."
"They," the boy was stunned and just explained to his sister, "They have spoken up for us and sang a song just for us. That's very good."
"But I'd rather they gave me a piece of bread," the little girl said, huddled in the shipping container that is her home. "Will they stop the war?"
The boy raised his head without saying a word. He looked at the starry sky above his head, but his mood was a little subtle.
The joy he had just felt had faded, and now he realized that he was hungry.
Sure enough, just listening to music won’t make you full.
He didn't have a mobile phone and didn't know that Zhou Yiyang only accepted interviews from reporters after the music festival ended.
"Mr. Zhou, the Coachella Music Festival has finally come to an end. For many people, this is definitely the most unforgettable music festival in their lives. I saw many netizens saying that this music festival was the most amazing one they had ever attended."
Zhou Yiyang smiled and looked at the reporters crowding in front of him. Who could have imagined that he was in America now?
He thought that he would only have so many fans in the country!
"I'm very grateful to netizens for their love for these songs. I will definitely pass these words on to the four of them."
Another reporter stretched out his hand vigorously, causing Zhou Yiyang to look at him involuntarily: "Come on!"
The man laughed excitedly and continued:
"Mr. Zhou, perhaps you don't know this yet, but Moonlight Girls has created a Spotify legend with their performance over the past three days. They now hold all of the top five most-listened songs on Spotify. So I'm curious, will Moonlight Girls release a more international album next?"
"Of course." Zhou Yiyang nodded, looking at the other person with a smile: "This will be an all-English album, targeting our increasingly diverse fans. And the new songs they performed at the music festival will all be included in it."
The reporters immediately became excited and quickly sent the news to their colleagues so that they could grab the headlines.
The last question from the reporter is about the two new songs tonight:
"Due to an unexpected event, tonight's Coachella is very special. While every guest brought their own reflections and concerns about war, I think the best performances, both in terms of purpose and buzz, were done by you, Mr. Zhou, and Moonlight Girls."
"I really want to know, and this is what many netizens want to know too. How did you, Mr. Zhou, manage to create two such great songs in such a short time?"
Zhou Yiyang cleared his throat, suppressed the smile on his face, and his expression became much more serious:
"I have always been someone who pays attention to international current affairs. As a musician, I am always more sensitive than the average person."
"When I saw those photos and videos, I felt very sad, as if I had experienced everything they had gone through. So when I was writing the song, I felt like I wasn't writing a song for myself, but rather I was recording the cries and voices of these innocent people."
Many viewers in front of the TV were applauding. Regardless of whether Zhou Yiyang was just putting on a show, he spoke so beautifully.
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Zhou Yiyang continued:
"And I always felt that if I just wrote two songs and asked the four of them to sing them, it might have some effect in comforting the refugees, but it would still be far from enough."
"I personally want to do more, so I decided to donate all the proceeds from these two songs to the people affected by this disaster, in the name of Moonlight Girl and me."
After saying this, everyone in the crowd began to applaud, and some of the audience who had not left yet began to shout Zhou Yiyang's name, as if they were welcoming their king.
Luo Chen, Yue Shao and three others were sitting backstage at this time. After seeing this scene, they all laughed and expressed their opinions.
"Hehe, although I know Brother Yang is doing charity with good intentions, why do I feel like he is trying to get something for nothing?" Tang Yue was as bold as ever. After she said this, everyone looked at her.
"Tangtang's point," Lin Xuan'er explained with great effort, "is that the donated proceeds are also fans' money, right? But if they're not donated, doesn't that money belong to Brother Yang?"
Su Yin raised her eyebrows and said softly, "I think the smartest thing about Brother Yang doing this is that because of this gimmick, many people will definitely spend money to buy this single."
"That's true," Wang Xingrui nodded. "A song only costs two yuan. What can you buy with two yuan these days? Maybe even a meat bun! But now, two yuan can buy a piece of kindness. For many people, this is definitely a sure win."
Seeing that they all expressed their thoughts boldly, Luo Chen spoke:
"I think you're both right. Brother Yang must have thought it over carefully before making this decision. But I think what he did is better than many others. You know, many people don't even have this idea!"
The four of them nodded at the same time: "Of course, I think Brother Yang has always been a kind person."
"Besides, for Brother Yang, the money he earns is simply too much to spend, right? Now after this incident, there should be a lot of people coming out to support him."
"What are you guys talking about?" Zhou Yiyang finally finished the interview and walked backstage. He touched his ears. If he heard correctly, he seemed to hear his own name.
"We're all praising you," Lin Xuan'er laughed. "I hope this money can really help everyone after we donate it!"
"Well, I told you I'll use the money to buy supplies and send them over when the time comes." Zhou Yiyang stretched lazily. "This can also be considered as earning us reputation. You guys are already popular enough overseas, but if you want to be truly recognized and become a world-class superstar, it's necessary to do more charity work."
"Of course, our plan remains unchanged. We're going to Las Vegas tomorrow! Speaking of which, your music festival only lasted three days, but it felt like it lasted forever to me."
Luo Chen suddenly became excited: "Finally, I can feel more present instead of just being a spectator!"
