Chapter 232: Release of "Offshore"
An ordinary Thursday is a very special day for Gu Xi.
Her first musical work in her life is about to be released.
She still has to sit in the classroom and listen carefully to the professor's explanation of the general theory of fashion, surrounded by a group of classmates who listen carefully and take notes.
Sitting next to her are her left and right protectors, Li Siyuan and Xu Jingyan.
Amid the professor's vigorous explanation and the sound of flipping books, Gu Xi went from the morning's expectations to gradually returning to her student duties, and devoted herself to studying, forgetting to check her work at the first time.
At 10 a.m., a Mandarin song was launched on the new song charts of major domestic music platforms at the same time.
"Offshore".
Some people clicked in carelessly or out of curiosity, and then the music sounded...
That sober and sad voice flowed into people's hearts like a torrent, unconsciously causing emotional resonance.
The singer's voice has an indescribable charm that makes people intoxicated.
They feel every subtle emotion conveyed by the voice and keep looping the song...
.........
The first people in the school to discover that Gu Xi released a new song were students from the music department.
They are used to listening to some new songs on music platforms on a daily basis. If they think they are good, they will post some appreciation videos on platforms such as Zhihu and Bilibili to become professional music bloggers.
Gu Xi's popularity in the school during this period was unmatched.
Especially the music students envied her for having an international superstar friend.
Many people would secretly watch her live broadcast and listen to her singing when they had nothing to do.
Then some people could tell that Gu Xi's singing was a bit like Lann's, but since the two knew each other well, it was understandable that their singing style and voice were similar.
Some people guessed that they had the same music teacher. They
just didn't think that Lann was Gu Xi's master.
In short, the music students paid close attention to Gu Xi and knew that her online name was 'Xibianying'.
After seeing that the singer of the song "Offshore" was "Xibianying" and the lyricist was Ling Wei, they were sure that their schoolmate had released a song.
Tears of envy flowed from the corners of their mouths.
A freshman majoring in fashion design was better than 99% of their music students, and she had already released a song!
Moreover, Ling Wei's works are of guaranteed quality, and even professionals cannot find fault with them!
Finally, the arranger is a well-known senior in the industry, with multiple instruments and a beautiful tune at the beginning.
This is simply the configuration of works that most music students dream of!
Woohoo...
Gu Xi is really going to feed these music students to death...
........
At noon, Gu Xi went to the cafeteria with her roommates to eat, and listened to her songs on the way.
After listening, her little face showed a smile brighter than flowers, which aroused the curiosity of Li Siyuan and Xu Jingyan beside her.
While eating, someone secretly took a photo of her with a mobile phone, and the students sitting near her table frequently looked over.
Senior Xia came over with a plate of food, and immediately took out her phone to take a selfie, focusing on including Gu Xi across from her. She
adjusted the filter and posted it on WeChat Moments.
The caption was "Don't be jealous, we are together."
"Senior Xia, what are you doing?"
Li Siyuan was puzzled. She sat next to Senior Xia and watched her post the WeChat Moments.
She was still eating, but her eyes were fixed on Senior Xia like nails.
As if she was some sneaky person.
Xia Keqing ignored her and said to Gu Xi, "You're becoming famous at such a speed that it won't be possible for me to have dinner with you soon. We must take this opportunity to leave a souvenir."
"Senior, I'm famous but I'm not going to starve to death. I still have to eat."
"But whether to come to the cafeteria to eat is the problem."
Gu Xi looked at the food in front of her and deliberately misinterpreted what Senior Xia meant, "Who wants to deprive me of my right to enjoy cafeteria meals as a J University student? I want to eat such inexpensive and high-quality food with so many choices for four years."
Senior Xia chuckled and didn't say anything more about it. She sighed seriously, "Originally, the club said they wanted to invite you to be a taster again, but now you've released a song and you're a blogger with millions of fans on Tomatoes. I was embarrassed to ask the president to come..."
Li Siyuan wondered, "Release a song?"
Xu Jingyan was also confused.
Xia Keqing: "You don't know yet, but the new song of my junior sister has already topped the K-dog new song chart in just two hours today, and is ranked first on the rising chart, as well as other top charts. In a word, my junior sister has made her debut as a singer."
Li Siyuan and Xu Jingyan quickly opened their phones to check.
Gu Xi also just learned about these data, and she was not surprised, but only happy.
She is still very confident in this song.
"How is the New Media Club going recently?" she asked.
She hasn't been back to the dormitory for a long time, and her two roommates didn't tell her about the situation of the club, so Gu Xi didn't pay attention to it.
She thought of the girls who wore prosthetic limbs to participate in the competition on the day of the sports meet. If nothing else, the New Media Club at least helped students who really needed help, which is a good thing.
Xia Keqing sighed quietly: "The overall data in October did not meet expectations. The number of fans has almost stagnated." She
has been releasing works, but the number of fans is still stagnant, which means that some old fans are unfollowing her, and she is not attracting enough new fans.
"Want to invite me to be a taster?" Gu Xi wiped his mouth with a tissue and finished eating.
"I want to. To be honest, I want you to save the account."
If Gu Xi is really invited, with her popularity, she will definitely be able to reverse the decline of Xinmeishe.
Xia Keqing just thinks that most people will mind being hyped, so she is embarrassed now.
Gu Xi: "I have time this Saturday morning."
Xia Keqing stared and couldn't help but confirm: "Really?"
"Yeah."
Gu Xi nodded.
Xinmeishe is essentially a charity organization that seeks welfare for poor students. Its existence is quite meaningful, and she will help as much as she can.
Besides, she will go to Tomato soon, so it would be good to show up more often in Tomato.
........
Qingyuan City, No. 2 Middle School.
It was time for the students to eat, and the teachers brought their meals into the office.
In the strict teaching atmosphere, teachers only chat during meal time.
However, Teacher Chen did not join in. She looked at the latest student report cards brought from the teachers of various subjects, and her eyes paid special attention to those poor students.
At this time, the dean of studies led a tall male student in, and the dean of studies was holding a smart phone in his hand.
Bringing a cell phone into school without permission is against school rules.
It is almost impossible for a student in the Rocket Class to make this mistake.
Nine out of ten times, it is a student from the Art Class.
Teacher Chen frowned, wondering why Director Qiu brought a student to their Rocket Class teacher's office.
"What's the matter, Director Qiu?"
"Yes."
The doubts were soon resolved.
Director Qiu placed the phone directly on Teacher Chen's desk, and the phone was locked, but the locked screen interface shocked Teacher Chen.
The girl was wearing Miao clothing, dressed exquisitely, and looked at the screen with a charming smile.
It was her daughter, Gu Xi, who was studying in a prestigious school in Hai City.
