The heavy rains we missed over the years
The love that was missed in those years
I want to hug you.
Have the courage to embrace what you've missed.
…”
The dormitory gradually quieted down, leaving only the singing that lingered in my ears.
Chen Xin and Zhao Zeyang, who had been arguing with Xu Zhe earlier, quietly closed the game and listened to the song.
As he watched the lyrics scroll across the screen, Xu Zhe's gaze became unfocused, his eyes reddened, and a layer of mist appeared on his face.
He remembered that year, the girl who sat in front of him.
After having a crush on him for two years, he mustered up the courage to confess his feelings after the college entrance examination.
The girl agreed.
That summer, he rode his bicycle, carrying the girl, all over the city.
He still remembers the first time he held her little hand, he felt as if he had lost his way and didn't know where to go.
He thought he could hold her hand, walk into university, into society, and into the hall of marriage.
However, as he was admitted to the Xiazhou Conservatory of Music and she went to the Huazhou College of Arts, the two chatted less and less and gradually lost contact.
Does distance and less contact mean that all the memories we shared are gone forever?
Thinking of this, Xu Zhe began to lose control of his emotions and swallowed hard.
"Meeting again,
I will hold you tight.
Holding you tightly…
As the melancholic melody gradually slowed down, the song coming from the phone abruptly stopped.
Xu Zhe wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, reopened [Xiazhou Cloud Music], and found "Those Years".
Pay!
download!
Completed in one go!
This has nothing to do with whether it was his cousin who sang it or not; the song moved him!
After successfully paying, Xu Zhe immediately played the song and selected the single-track repeat mode.
After doing all that, he felt it wasn't enough, so he shared the song in the class group chat.
"Dear students, this is my cousin's newly released song. Please download it and support him!"
After saying that, he immediately sent a 200-yuan lucky draw red envelope in the group.
Class monitor: We must support Xu Zhe's new song!
Class monitor: Why aren't you sleeping so late? How are you going to get up for class tomorrow? I'll let you off the hook because of the red envelope.
Chang Chen: Thank you, boss! Breakfast is sorted for tomorrow! I'll download it right away to show my support!
Li Mao: Boss Xu, you're awesome! I've always heard you have a relative who's in the business; turns out he's your cousin.
Counselor Luo Xiang: @All members, please support Xu Zhe's new song and remember to claim your red envelopes!
Liu Mang: We've caught a bunch of night owls!
…
The usually quiet class group chat exploded with activity after Xu Zhe sent a red envelope, with the number of messages instantly exceeding one hundred.
Three minutes later...
Li Mao: @Xu Zhe Holy crap! Your cousin is awesome! This song is unbeatable!
Liu Mang: @Xu Zhe, your cousin has cured me! My youth!
Class monitor: @Xu Zhe, all the girls in the dorm cried. Your cousin is really amazing. Please sign his autograph.
Li Xiaoxiao: I just finished showering. What song are you guys discussing? Is it that good? I'll go listen to it right away.
Zhang Nan: @Xu Zhe, you owe me for my tears!
Counselor Luo Xiang: @All members, this is a very recommended song. Han Jiayu sings it well, and the composer and lyricist, Teacher Fusheng, is even more amazing. He should be a gold medal composer.
…
As roommates, Chen Xin and Zhao Zeyang had already paid to download the movie, and even logged onto the campus network to post promotional messages for "You Are the Apple of My Eye," praising it wildly.
The saying goes, "It's better to share happiness than to enjoy it alone," and after all, this is indeed a rare and healing song.
Every graduation season is a feast for music-loving students.
At this moment, the students of Xiazhou Conservatory of Music, whether they had read the post out of curiosity or were recommended it by the vocal music department, all said they couldn't sleep after listening to it.
Thinking that they shouldn't be the only ones who were healed, they also sent messages to recommend it to their "plastic brothers" and "plastic best friends."
The ship of friendship can capsize in an instant!
Tonight, many people at the vast Xiazhou Conservatory of Music are suffering from insomnia.
Compared to the bustling activity outside, Xiazhou Conservatory of Music is just the tip of the iceberg.
Right now, many eyes are on the rankings of "You Are the Apple of My Eye".
This includes Zhou Rongze, He Qing, Xu Jinmao, Yang Qing, and others.
Some people wanted to see the joke, while others expressed concern.
At this moment, Zheng Jing was in a state of panic, constantly arranging for people to campaign for Han Jiayu in dozens of fan groups.
She also contacted more than a dozen marketing accounts to create hype, but the results were really disappointing.
Seeing her hard-won ranking in the top 30 keep falling, Zheng Jing was so anxious that she stomped her feet.
Just as they were preparing to spend a lot of money to hire several Weibo influencers to promote the event, Shen Yun, who had been watching the ranking changes closely, suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
Zheng Jing was startled, and a sudden pain shot through her chest: "Did we drop in rank again?"
I glanced at the list instinctively, and what I saw almost made me faint.
"You Are the Apple of My Eye" has inexplicably disappeared from the list!
What happened?!
Before Zheng Jing could catch her breath, Shen Yun, whose expression had changed drastically, suddenly clicked the mouse, and the page jumped directly to the homepage.
And then, at number eighteen, a familiar song title appeared—"Those Years".
"Eighteenth place! Unbelievable, a jump of fifteen places!"
Shen Yun looked astonished.
Zheng Jing gasped for breath, finally experiencing the feeling of going from hell to heaven.
"Did the company intervene?"
In Zheng Jing's view, this is the only reasonable explanation.
"It's not a company, it's Li Mubai."
Shen Yun opened the song comments.
[Mu Bai's personal guard has arrived! Sisters, charge! Buy, buy, buy! We're going to go all out with our paid content!]
[Little White's die-hard fans group 2 visited here, 2000 die-hard fans showing their wild support!]
[Xiaobai's die-hard fans check-in in group 6; 2000 die-hard fans have indicated they've already downloaded it!]
…
With Li Mu Bai's million fans joining the fray, "You Are the Apple of My Eye" swept through the charts in just two hours, successfully climbing into the top ten!
Zhou Chen's new song "Youthful Days" is only 90,000 downloads away from ninth place.
Zheng Jing took a deep breath, glanced at the time, hesitated for a moment, and dialed a number.
The call was answered quickly.
"Did I disturb your rest?"
"I just finished showering and was getting ready for bed."
"Thanks."
"No need to thank me, it was Mu Bai who made the decision."
I owe you a favor.
Zheng Jing naturally didn't believe it. Without Luo Qi's approval, even if Li Mubai wanted to, it would be difficult for him to do this.
After all, an artist's fans are almost always firmly controlled by their management company.
"This isn't like you, Zheng Jing," Luo Qi remarked. "Alright, I'm sleepy. You should get some rest too."
After ending the conversation, Luo Qi smiled faintly.
In Luo Qi's opinion, Li Mubai is still too inexperienced. If he wants to help someone in need, simply liking or forwarding a Weibo post is far from enough.
This good relationship either doesn't happen, or you have to give a big gift in return.
She suggested that Li Mubai give up his graduation season new song and do his best to help Han Jiayu climb the charts. Li Mubai agreed after a few seconds of consideration.
After making the decision, she posted the task in the group management group, asking the group owners of various fan groups to wait for instructions.
"Lin Rui, this is a big favor. I hope you won't disappoint Mu Bai, and even more so, don't disappoint me."
Luo Qi muttered to herself.
She hadn't taken the opportunity to negotiate with Zheng Jing to get Lin Rui to write a song for Li Mubai.
She knew better than anyone that once she spoke up, the nature of the whole thing would change.
Her initial intention was to build a positive relationship with Lin Rui, not to make a deal.
…
Zhou Rongze was still in his office, not having left the company, and he was also keeping an eye on the graduation season new song charts.
When Zhou Rongze saw "Those Years" miraculously break into the top ten of the charts, he was initially a little confused, but he soon learned that Luo Qi had used her resources to push the song to this position.
"What agreement did Luo Qi and Zheng Jing reach in private?"
I can't figure it out.
"Interesting, really interesting."
"Since you've gone to such lengths, as the boss, if I don't reciprocate, I'll be criticized by you."
Zhou Rongze smiled and took out his phone: "Contact the operations department and have them communicate with [Xiazhou Cloud Music]. I plan to buy a promotional column to promote 'Those Years'."
After hanging up the phone, watching the download numbers for "You Are the Apple of My Eye" steadily increase, Zhou Rongze laughed and said, "Since everyone wants it to be a hit, let's make this graduation season's fire burn even brighter..."
