144: Netizen: I'm a screwdriver, and after listening to this song, I feel like the factory is mine, and the factory manager's wife is mine too.

"Once dreamed... of venturing into the world with a sword... to see... the world's splendor... a young heart..."

Xiao Tian was a high school student. Because of his heavy schoolwork, he usually liked to listen to music to relax.

Today, during self-study, he suddenly heard his deskmate humming.

At first, he didn't pay attention, but after listening for a couple of lines, he realized that the song his deskmate was humming was actually very pleasant to listen to.

This immediately made him curious:

"Hey, Da Mao, what song are you humming? Why haven't I heard it before?"

His deskmate, Da Mao, smiled and said:

“It’s a new song that just came out. It’s normal that you haven’t heard it. The song is called ‘once upon a time,’ and it’s quite popular on Huahuo Music right now!”

"once upon a time? Whose new song is it? How did it come out without any prior notice!"

Xiao Tian asked another question.

His deskmate, Da Mao, explained:

“There’s no buzz because the singer isn’t a famous Celebrity. They should be a talented newcomer.”

"I see. Then I'll listen to it after class. 'once upon a time,' right? I've got it!"

After self-study, Xiao Tian immediately pulled out his phone and started searching for the song title he had just memorized.

To his delight, this song wasn't one of those flashy, cheap tricks that only allow you to preview a few dozen seconds!

"Great, I can listen to the original version of the song without needing VIP.

When I heard Da Mao humming it earlier, I found the melody to be very good. I hope the singer's voice is also pleasant!"

Xiao Tian mumbled while putting on his headphones.

But soon, he fell silent, because the singing in his headphones had already begun.

And to his surprise, the voice coming through his headphones was even better than he had imagined!

...It must be said that music is most easily popularized in schools.

On the one hand, there are many people on campus, so it’s easy for a message to spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred, a hundred to a thousand... Another reason is that students have a strong ability to accept new things and also like popular trends.

Generally, if someone in the class hears a good song, within a few classes, the whole class will know about it.

After another morning, it will basically have spread throughout the entire grade.

If it could be played on the broadcast station, then probably everyone in the school would know about it.

Coincidentally, this new song that just became popular was also a free, original version, which was quite friendly to campus radio stations.

Most importantly.

Almost all young people have no resistance to 'venturing into the world with a sword'... With a huge young demographic providing search data, 'once upon a time' quickly soared on Huahuo Music.

It started in the top ten of the new song hot search list, then quickly moved to the top five, top three, and finally firmly held the number one spot on the new song hot search list.

As a result, more netizens also noticed this dark horse.

As the number of people looping the song increased.

'once upon a time' directly 'shattered the void' on the new song chart, 'ascending' to the top ten, then top five, of the hot song chart.

And this chart, that's a position where all songs on the entire site compete, which can be said to represent the popularity ranking of songs during a certain period.

As for the song's comment section, it had already exploded:

"It's beautiful. I feel like these lyrics speak to my heart, making me recall my days when I was seventeen or eighteen."

"I don't know why, but when I was looping it just now, I started crying as I listened. It turns out I'm no longer a youth."

"After listening to this song, I've decided to go on a spontaneous trip. This has always been my dream..."

"It's incredibly good! Where did this singer come from? How come I've never heard of them before?"

"Indeed, a singer with such formidable strength shouldn't be unknown. It's too strange!"

..."Why, after listening to this song, do I feel an urge to resign? I dare not listen anymore, I still have car and housing loans to pay!"

"Free and unrestrained, warm and pure! This is what I hear from the song. Youth, it's truly wonderful!"

"I also once dreamed of venturing across the world with a sword, but later when I went out, I realized I hadn't brought enough money, so I had to return home dejectedly..."

"Stop it, buddy! I just started this job three days ago, and you're trying to fool me into going to Tibet again!"

“Xu Lu, this new singer is very strong, and he’s also the lyricist and composer. Amazing!”

..."I'm numb. I suddenly have a premonition that after listening to this song, I'll probably owe 88,000 on Huabei..."

"I got scolded by my boss today. After listening to this song, I immediately called him back and scolded him. Do I have to tolerate him?"

"It seems resigning is inevitable. 318, here I come!"

"Every day, I mechanically screw screws in the factory, but after listening to this song, I feel like the factory is mine, and the factory director's wife is mine too!"

...The netizens' discussions were quite interesting, to say the least.

And everyone actually discovered the 'resignation attribute' of the song 'once upon a time'.

Presumably, when the next wave of resignations breaks out, 'once upon a time' will have to bear the blame.

In fact, among the many netizens, there were also some rather special people.

That is, Xu Lu's fan base.

It's just that now they are still a bit puzzled and haven't linked the two together:

[How come this singer's name is the same as that Streamer kid? Is it easier to become popular if your name is Xu Lu?]

[Hahahaha, it really is the same name, but it's a bit of a shame, I wonder what this Xu Lu looks like!]

[Sigh, I suddenly feel that if that Streamer kid sang this song, with his looks, he'd probably be even more popular.]

[I suddenly thought of something fun. When the Streamer goes live, let him sing 'once upon a time'.]

...[Speaking of live streaming, that Streamer kid hasn't forgotten he has a live streaming room, has he?]

[Yeah, recently only the Little Assistant has been posting updates occasionally. That Streamer hasn't been online for a long time.]

[Neglecting his proper work, neglecting his proper work. I told him long ago that it's better not to film that crappy movie; coming back to live stream would be much better!]

[That's true. You're a Streamer, just focus on live streaming. Why bother with all sorts of other things?]

...Meanwhile, at Xia Lifei Film and Television's 'happy summer trip' film crew.

Xiong Tang, who was the driving force behind this play, was talking to a long-haired man with a strong artistic aura:

"Teacher Xiao Zhang, our requirements aren't high; just something similar to 'once upon a time' will do."

Upon hearing this, Teacher Xiao Zhang, also a top musician in the industry, immediately became anxious and said:

“President Xiong, you didn’t say the difficulty would be this high before you invited me!

I’ve also listened to ‘once upon a time,’ and it can completely rival my most proud compositions.

And its popularity on the Huahuo Music APP, President Xiong, you’ve seen it, it’s already in the top three of the hot song chart...”

Seeing 'Teacher Xiao Zhang' grumbling incessantly, Xiong Tang quickly said:

"Ahem, Teacher Xiao Zhang, I know there's difficulty, but I didn't say it had to reach that level, did I? Let's just try our best to get close to that level, alright?"

"Alright!"

Teacher Xiao Zhang nodded weakly, then added, saying:

"But I can't guarantee the final result. Music creation is art, and this stuff cannot be quantified!"

"Ah, I understand, I... understand!"

However, in that instant of pause, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Xiong Tang.

Since this Teacher Xiao Zhang isn't up to the task, why not just buy 'once upon a time' directly?
