Chapter 277 The repercussions caused by the launch of 'Chengdu'
Chapter 277 Repercussions caused by the launch of "Chengdu"
Year 2014.
December.
One night, in an Internet cafe in Suzhou, a round-faced young man was sitting in the corner, reading the latest updated chapter of "Holy Ruins" on his computer.
This round-faced young man’s name is Huang Hexiang.
I am 22 years old this year and have already entered the society as a hotel security guard.
On weekdays, his work is leisurely. He can often see beautiful waitresses, department heads, managers and other beauties in the hotel. He can also see many beautiful reception girls. From time to time, he can also see a few beautiful women.
guest.
Those big bosses who come to their hotels to spend money usually have beautiful female companions.
These are very eye-catching to Huang Hexiang.
During more than a year of working as a security guard in this hotel, the beauties he saw far exceeded those he had seen since childhood.
There are all kinds of temperaments.
So, he kind of likes the job of hotel security guard.
but……
It's just that the salary is too low.
The low salary allowed him to only look at those beauties, and at most, he could only fantasize about them in his mind, and no more.
He is not qualified to date any beauties, including those beautiful waiters in the hotel.
Although he has the same status as those beautiful waiters and the salary gap is not big, the way those waiters look at him is no different from looking at a tree or a stone on the roadside.
The huge gap between reality and the life he desired in his heart made Huang Hexiang gradually fall in love with surfing the Internet, reading novels and listening to songs.
These things allow him to spend a lot of time outside of work.
A day can pass by in a daze.
As long as he doesn't think too much about the people and things in reality that he can't get, his life will be quite manageable.
It's a coincidence that he is a fan of "Holy Ruins".
After a while, Huang Hexiang sighed with unfinished content.
Because he has finished reading the two latest updated chapters of "Holy Ruins".
Although this book is updated very quickly, no matter how fast it is updated, how can it withstand him reading it every day?
It takes him less than ten minutes to read an update of 10,000 to 20,000 words, but it takes a long, long time for the author to write it. Some authors are even unable to write so many words in one day.
In fact, Huang Hexiang was a fan of "Perfect World" before.
only……
As we all know, Chen Dong, the author of "Perfect World", does not update quickly.
Chen Yigeng's nickname didn't come out of thin air.
A few days ago, Huang Hexiang saw in the book fan group that everyone was always mentioning "Holy Ruins". I saw many people saying that this book was a complete imitation of Dong Ge's writing style. Moreover, the imitation was so similar that it could almost be fake, even because of the update speed.
It is much faster than "Perfect World", and it ranks below "Perfect World" on the monthly ticket list.
At that time, Huang Hexiang found it very novel.
Li Gui defeated Li Kui?
Is there really anyone who can imitate Brother Dong’s style so well?
With some curiosity, he searched for "Holy Ruins" at the starting point and started reading it.
The results of it?
The more he read, the more he felt that the style of this book was indeed Dong Ge's style.
The more I look at them, the more they look like each other.
Sometimes, after reading the update of "Perfect World" that day, and then reading the chapters of "Holy Ruins", he didn't feel any difference in the writing styles of the two books.
It looks too much like it was written by the same person.
In addition, although the beginning of the book "Holy Ruins" was average, it was full of stamina and the plot gradually got better. He became fascinated as he read it.
When he finished reading all the published chapters of "Holy Ruins" and started to follow the daily updates, he quickly felt the difference between following "Holy Ruins" and "Perfect World".
"Holy Ruins" is updated with 10,000 to 20,000 words every day, and updates will be added occasionally.
What about "Perfect World"?
Just don’t mention it!
Gradually, he became more interested in chasing "Holy Ruins".
In his opinion, the styles of the two books are similar. If Chen Dong is talented, then... doesn't Universe Chen, who can imitate Chen Dong's style so closely, not talented?
He even felt in his heart that he, Huang Hexiang, would never be able to possess a talent like Chen Dong's, but he might be able to become an author like Universe Chen.
Universe Chen can imitate Chen Dong's style, and so can Huang Hexiang.
I just don’t know how long it will take for him to imitate him so well.
Yes!
On the surface, Huang Hexiang is an ordinary hotel security guard, but in fact, he is also a writing enthusiast.
Like many Internet article writers, he was good at writing compositions when he was a student, so after seeing so many good-looking Internet articles, he also had the idea to try writing Internet articles.
It's just that he hasn't published the works he tried to write online yet.
"Holy Ruins" by Universe Chen pointed out the direction for Huang Hexiang's efforts.
He has been trying hard to imitate Chen Dong's style recently.
He is not demanding that he can imitate to the same extent as Zhou Yuchen, but he feels that if he can imitate even four to five points, he may be able to make money from online writing and change his destiny.
In recent years, he has learned too many examples of how writing online articles can change one's destiny.
There are people who used to work as chefs but became gods by writing online articles, earning millions and becoming winners in life.
There are college graduates who earn tens of thousands a month by writing online articles.
There is also a Go player who switched his career to writing online articles and climbed to the top of the Qidian monthly vote list. The amount of money he earned is incalculable to both Huang and Xiang.
There are too many similar examples.
As far as he knows, there are people from all walks of life who write online articles, but few of them are top students who have graduated from serious Chinese majors.
This gave him hope of getting ahead in this industry.
When he was working as a security guard in a hotel, he saw so many beautiful women and rich people every day, so naturally he wanted to have a beautiful woman of his own.
I want to have endless money to spend.
"Didi..."
Suddenly, a notification sound came from the QQ he was hanging online, and a QQ avatar jumped around in the lower right corner of the computer screen, attracting Huang Hexiang's attention.
The flashing profile picture looked familiar, it was that of his high school classmate.
Huang Hexiang smiled and opened the dialog box casually.
Sure enough, it was his high school classmate who sent him the message.
——"I just heard a very good new song. I think this song is going to be a hit. Please give it a listen."
This is what my high school classmate sent me.
Below this paragraph, there is also a web link.
Out of curiosity, Huang Hexiang clicked on the link, and the page on the computer screen jumped, and soon a song called "Chengdu" was displayed.
This is a song title that Huang Hexiang has never heard of.
He casually clicked play.
The prelude of the song soon came from the headphones, and soon the singer's singing voice came. The melody of the song, the singer's singing style, and the feeling created made Huang Hexiang's heart calm down little by little.
Halfway through listening to the song, he mentally agreed with his high school classmate's opinion - this song is very good and will become a hit.
Although Huang Hexiang has never been to Chengdu and does not have a woman like the one in the lyrics, listening to this song, he can easily imagine such a story in his mind.
It is also easy to put yourself into the hero of the story.
This song made him feel the feeling of falling in love.
He unconsciously imagined that the male protagonist in the lyrics was himself, and the heroine in the lyrics was the beautiful manager of their hotel sales department.
Don't tell me, just thinking about it this way makes the song even more enjoyable to listen to.
Because of this song, the picture he imagined was so beautiful that he played it on a loop for more than a dozen times before he paused the song in despair, exited the web page, and casually glanced at the singer information of the song.
I am going to reply to my high school classmate on QQ. Thank you for the recommendation.
but……
When I was browsing the singer's information, I accidentally glanced at three words that he was very familiar with recently - Universe Chen.
At that moment, Huang Hexiang's eyes widened.
What the hell?
Are the lyrics and composers both from Universe Chen?
Is this Universe Chen the Universe Chen I know? Is it the guy who wrote "Holy Ruins" from Qidian?
Name collision?
It must be a coincidence!
Reason told him that this must be a coincidence and it must not be the same person.
However, there was clearly a voice in his heart saying: Maybe it's the same person? If Universe Chen can write a novel like "Holy Ruins", maybe he can write such a lyric. Compared with "Holy Ruins",
The length, the number of words in a lyric, is much less.
At this moment, his curiosity was aroused.
My heart was itching like a cat scratching, and I wanted to find out the truth of the matter.
Driven by strong curiosity, he clicked on the "Holy Ruins" fan group and casually dropped the link to the song "Chengdu" in the group chat box.
Later, he asked Universe Chen, the leader of the Aite group in the group: "Boss, did you write this song?"
There are several fans of "Holy Ruins".
The group Huang Hexiang is in is a super group of 500 people, and the group members have long been full.
At this moment, the time is not too late, it is only 10 o'clock in the evening, which is the peak period for everyone to surf the Internet.
No, as soon as he dumped the link of this song into the group, and asked such a question in the group, Aite group leader Universe Chen, the group immediately became lively.
King Kong: "Nani? Did the person upstairs join the wrong group? Are you okay? Our group leader writes novels. Are you asking him if he writes songs?"
Little Devil: "Damn it! The lyrics and composers of this song are actually Chen Universe. Couldn't this really be written by the group leader, right?"
Ping Bu Ping: "Damn it! It's really true."
I took one bite and said, "Damn it! This must be the same name, right?"
Bai Ri Bu Loss: "Where is the group leader? Come out and explain!"
…
There were originally divers in the group, but at this moment, more and more people were blown out.
Soon, the chat atmosphere in the group changed.
Brother Jian: "Hey, this song is pretty good. If it was really written by the group leader, that would be a shame!"
Nobita: "The needle won't poke! It's Zhao Lei's new song. I like it."
Bajiaixingkong: "Where is the group leader? Why haven't you come out yet? Such a beautiful song couldn't really be written by you, right?"
Gilt Fan: "I haven't heard such a nice new song in a long time. If this song is really written by our group leader, the group leader is really awesome!"
…
Time passes little by little.
The discussion in the group has never stopped.
From time to time, group members will bubble up, saying that they have just seen the message in the group, listened to the song, and expressed their own comments about the song, as well as guessing whether the song was really written by the group leader.
Unfortunately, more than an hour has passed and the group leader has not spoken out.
This made many people in the group anxious, but because of curiosity, they had to wait patiently.
Many of them know that the group leader doesn't usually join the group to talk much.
For ten days and a half, I haven't seen the group leader bubbling in the group. This is normal.
However, they were lucky tonight.
At around 11:30, the group leader, Universe Chen, suddenly bubbled up in the group.
He first posted a few smiling emoticons in the group.
Then he spoke.
Universe Chen: "I got some inspiration by chance before. If I wanted to write a novel, the inspiration didn't seem to be enough, so I just wrote a lyric. Then, out of boredom, I tried to compose music for it. After the final product, I thought the quality was okay.
I tried to contact Zhao Lei. Thanks to this cooperation, I would like to thank you all for your love, thank you all!"
In Beijing, in the study room on the second floor of the villa, in front of the computer, Chen Yu spoke to the group with a smile.
He just logged into the author's backend and posted an update to a chapter of "Holy Ruins".
Later, I logged into QQ as a habit and accidentally saw that the group was chatting about the song "Chengdu". Moreover, many people were trolling him and asking the songwriter of this song, Zhou Yuchen, was it a coincidence? Or was he really himself?
In other words, the reason why he decided to give this song to Zhao Lei to sing was because he wanted to add the title of songwriter to himself.
Therefore, when he saw so many book fans in the book fan group asking him if the song was written by him, he naturally would not hide it.
If he really wanted to hide it, he wouldn't have signed it as "Universe Chen" when signing his name as songwriter.
"Damn it! Is this really written by you, the group leader?"
"Really or not? Why do I not believe it so much? Group leader, what is your job? You can write lyrics, I can barely believe it, but why can you compose music? Ordinary people can't read all the musical notation, right? Composing music is okay
It’s not something ordinary people can do.”
"Author, we can allow you to brag for a minute, but we hope you will tell the truth honestly after one minute! Don't try to flatter yourself!"
"Group leader, are you studying music?"
"Group leader, although you don't have to pay taxes for bragging, it will ruin your character! Are you sure you really wrote this song?"
"Boss, let me put it this way! If you really wrote this song, I will call you the leader later. If not, I hope you can apologize! Otherwise, I will turn from a fan to a fan and quit the group."
"If this is true, the group leader will definitely be in the news! "Holy Ruins" has been on the monthly vote list for two consecutive months and has been stable in the top three. If he is said to be a great god, no one should object. If he can still write
If you release such a beautiful song, it must be worthy of being on the news!"
"I just want to know now, did the group leader study music? If so, I can barely believe that he wrote this song. If not, then I definitely don't believe that he could write such a song."
…
The group was buzzing with messages, as if the screen was being flooded with messages. Some messages were pushed out of the chat box by the newly posted messages below before Chen Yu finished reading them.
Seeing that so many people in the group didn't believe that he wrote this song, Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh.
He himself didn't believe he could write such a song.
Not to mention composing music.
However, there is no turning back when the bow is drawn.
The song had already been released, but it was too late for him to deny it at this time.
Besides, why deny it?
Universe Chen: "I don't study music. As for whether I wrote this song, don't ask. Just wait! Time will definitely give you the answer."
