Chapter 14 Dark Horse Counterattack (Updated)
Higraxuan Palace Restaurant is the most distinctive western restaurant in the central business district of Beidu.
In order to celebrate the birthday of his only sister, Li Mingxin booked the largest private room early, and by the way, he took his good partner Wan Baoluo and a few friends in the industry to celebrate his sister's birthday together.
The luxurious box decoration is like a medieval western palace. The sound insulation of the room is very good. The brown-red solid wood fireplace is flickering and warm like spring.
The dishes are all served, the dishes are exquisite and elegant, and the fragrance is overflowing. In the middle is a box of double-layer flower cream cakes, with 30th birthday candles inserted. The pianist's playing sound is soothing and elegant. Friends all over the table toast each other:
"Happy birthday to our beautiful Li Mingyue!"
"Thank you, everyone, and my dear brother." The curly-haired woman blew out the candle with a smile, stretched out a jade finger, and poked her brother Li Mingxin's chubby cheek, "I also wish you lose weight as soon as possible and get out of the singles successfully. "
"Why, sister, I'm not as fat as you said." Li Mingxin cut a large piece of cake in dissatisfaction, and stuffed it into Wanbaoluo's dinner plate, "You should eat more sugar, it's almost like a bamboo pole It's... Hey, everyone is eating, what kind of mobile phone have you been playing with!"
"I don't, I'm swiping data." Wan Baoluo cheerfully shook the shell-shaped smart terminal in his hand, "Guess, what is the ranking of the song "Farewell to the Past" now?"
"What is Farewell to the Past?" Li Mingyue looked over curiously.
Li Mingxin curled his lips, not very interested: "One of our entries in the star show competition, I am angry when I mention it. It is obviously a good seedling with great potential, but I was delayed by the group of judges who are sitting on the corpse. Alas, it's a pity. .”
Li Mingyue clicked his tongue: "Speaking of good seedlings, I participated in a wine bureau a few days ago and saw one too. Tell me about yours first?"
Li Mingxin copied his hands and squinted his eyes: "How should I put it, the voice is very special, and the singing skills are so good that you don't look like a rookie. Although there are some flaws, but the flaws are not hidden. In short, it is fresh and unaffected. It is unforgettable when you hear it!"
Li Mingyue slapped her hands, beaming with joy: "Hey! Coincidentally, the newcomer I met that day was also fresh and unpretentious, the kind you'll never forget at first sight! Oh, by the way, it was brought by Mr. Ji from Huanyi. "
"Ah? Mr. Ji?" Li Mingxin was taken aback, and looked at Wan Baoluo. Both of them were a little confused, "Mr. Ji never cares about newcomers..."
"Oh, my silly brother, he doesn't know what he wants at all." Li Mingyue pouted, combing her wavy hair lazily, with red nails appearing and disappearing between the hair strands, "No wonder you haven't mixed up after so many years." to the top."
"..." Li Mingxin smiled perfunctorily, "We don't dare to ask about the boss's affairs, come here, let you listen to this song."
He signaled to the luthier to pause the performance, grabbed Marlboro's shell terminal, and put on wireless headphones for his sister, as if offering a treasure.
"I've been listening, what is the Divine Comedy that makes you so obsessed with it?" Li Mingyue glanced at him with a ridiculous look, crossed her legs on the sofa, and tapped the tip of her high heels following the melody.
Wan Baoluo noticed that the two of them had almost the same habitual little movements, and couldn't help laughing. This pair of siblings really deserved to be twins.
"What song? It's mysterious, let's enjoy it together." A group of friends were joking, but they suddenly found that the piano sound stopped, and gathered around.
One of them was the mustache director Liu Li who was gossiping with her at Yaxi Red Winery.
Li Mingyue simply turned on the power amplifier, and a powerful melody poured out in an instant. The rivers and waves, the strong grass and the wind, and the ethereal and round human voices shuttled among them, like pearls strung on fine silk.
Everyone held their breath and listened quietly. The more Li Mingyue listened, the more amazed she became. She couldn't help wrapping her hands around her arms, rubbing away a row of goosebumps. At the end of the song, everyone looked at each other, as if they hadn't recovered yet, and no one spoke for a while.
"This voice..." Li Mingyue bit her lip, and frowned unsurely, "I always feel like I've heard it somewhere before."
Director Liu Li nodded: "I also think it sounds familiar, but I can't remember it for a while. Hey, Li Pangpang, what's the name of this singer? Could it be someone we know?"
"Don't call me fat Li!" Li Mingxin glared dissatisfiedly at Wan Baoluo, who shrank his neck and pretended not to hear.
"You probably don't know each other. This singer is a college student named Liang Jingsheng."
"Liang Jingsheng?" Li Mingyue shook her head, expressing that she hadn't heard it before, "This song is not bad, it shouldn't be ranked low, right? At least the top [-]!"
"Oh, top [-]? Not even top [-]!" Li Mingxin was indignant, "Those judges are all looking at the fat meat of the voting competition."
"Oh, that's a pity." Li Mingyue nodded suddenly, and suddenly stood up with a flash of inspiration, "I remember where I heard this voice before!"
She turned to Director Liu Li and made a gesture of playing the violin: "Do you remember, the handsome guy brought by Mr. Ji that day?"
Director Liu was taken aback: "I have a little impression, you said the voice looks like him?"
"It's quite similar, but he didn't say a few words at the time, so I'm not sure."
Director Liu shook his head: "I remember his surname is Xiao, not Liang."
Li Mingyue was rather disappointed: "That's right, it seems to be just a coincidence."
Wan Baoluo exclaimed suddenly: "Pangpang Li, look quickly, the ranking of this song has changed, and it has moved up two places!"
Li Mingxin's eyes flickered, his fingers were intertwined and his pupils turned round and round: "By the way, sister, didn't you promise your fans on Twitter before that you would shoot a short video for your birthday?"
Li Mingyue looked at him suspiciously: "Yeah, what's the matter? What bad idea is going on in your mind?"
Li Mingxin had an idea: "I think the melody of this song is also good, and the lyrics are also appropriate. Why don't we just use this song as background music? The company has the authorization to promote all of our entries."
"Hey, after all, I just want me to sell Amway for you. Could it be that this singer has done you any favors?"
"No, no, I don't know him at all!" Li Mingxin waved his hands quickly, pursing his lips in embarrassment, "I just think, this song is a pity, besides, if he is really popular, it means I have the foresight, see later Those judges, dare to show off in front of me? If it doesn’t work out, it means the song won’t pass the test of the market, and I won’t regret it.”
Li Mingyue raised her chin and smiled slightly: "Well, anyway, my short video was originally going to have a soundtrack. Since his voice resembles the handsome guy from that day, I'll help him once."
Director Liu volunteered: "I don't know if I have the honor to help you shoot this meaningful birthday short film?"
"And us, Sister Li's [-]th birthday commemorative video, how can we be missing!" A group of celebrity friends from the circle squeezed over, enthusiastic.
Wan Baoluo gave a strange cry: "Oh my god, it's just a birthday video, what kind of top-level configuration are you guys using!"
A table of people laughed together.

The next day.
As the pillar of "Star Weekend" and the national host, Li Mingyue's 30th birthday party naturally attracted much attention. Variety TV specially organized a grand celebration for her to interact with fans.
Live online and offline.
The efficiency of Director Liu’s studio is extremely high. For a 3-minute birthday celebration short video, all the materials were shot in one day, and after the post-production editing, it was just in time to play during the live broadcast.
When the event started, the number of online viewers soared all the way, breaking the 5000 million mark in an instant.
As the opening link, the commemorative video immediately attracted countless eyeballs.
Standing at thirty can almost be called the watershed between the first half and the second half of life.
Li Mingyue's life in the first 30 years was not smooth. On the contrary, she experienced a downhearted childhood, a failed marriage, and when her career was at a low point, she hit a wall again and again, almost to the point where she could not afford the rent.
Everything changed just four years ago. By chance, she became the host of "Star Weekend" whose ratings had dropped to the point where she could hardly maintain the project. No one liked her, let alone this declining variety show.
No one expected that a miracle happened just like that. Li Mingyue persuaded the director to change the content of the program, and gained a large number of viewers with a very emotional and characteristic hosting method.
"Star Weekend" has become a leader in ratings from a sunset show that needs to beg star guests to help the poor.
And Li Mingyue herself has emerged from the shadow of a failed marriage and has become synonymous with confident and independent women.
This incident was regarded by Li Mingyue as a proud achievement in her life, so at the banquet, Xiao Chi's face-to-face praise greatly benefited her.
The 3-minute short film completed Li Mingyue's short and ups and downs of 30 years of inspirational life. With the music that suppresses first and then rises, when the climax comes, almost all the fans at the scene burst into tears and excitedly called Li Mingyue's name.
The number of online live broadcasts surged again, once approaching 7000 million!
At the end of the short film, there is Li Mingyue's sensual and deep chanting: In the year of thirties, bid farewell to the past and look to the future.
Immediately afterwards, the production team rolled behind the scenes. The director Liu Li, the production team, and Liu Li's studio. The audience was taken aback. It's too extravagant. The best director of the Tangtang White Horse Film Festival is here to shoot a birthday greeting video? !
One by one, the names of well-known bigwigs in the industry slid over one by one.
The last piece of music: "Farewell to the Past", sung by Liang Jingsheng.
Almost at the same time as the live broadcast, Li Mingyue updated the short video on his social blog, and people from all walks of life reposted and praised it. The terrifying network of the national host was undoubtedly highlighted at this time.
In less than 5 minutes, the number of reposts and bullet screens has exceeded one million. The content of bullet screens can be roughly divided into three types:
The first one - happy birthday to the goddess!
Secondly—a lot of bosses, blindfolded!
The last one - ask what song is the BGM?
At the beginning, there were fans who answered seriously, but in the end they were really annoyed by the questions, and it became "the offering of hate, and then ask about suicide"!
In less than an hour, Li Mingyue's birthday celebration video went viral on all major online platforms. What she said at the end of the video, all twelve words, were trending!
Among them, the item with the highest hot search ranking——#停别过去#
In the Internet age, the speed of information dissemination is unbelievably fast, and someone immediately discovered that the song of the Shenghe video was the second round of the national star show competition.
From the day the platform was launched, the ranking started to climb up silently from No. 30 to No. 30, and unknowingly climbed to the position of No. [-].
As Li Mingyue's birthday congratulatory short video swiped the screen, "Farewell to the Past" went straight to the hot searches, and the rankings were soaring all the way, and it instantly squeezed out the unlucky No. 30. Kung Fu counterattacked and entered the top [-]!
Still no sign of stopping.
With more than 600 million votes, it is shocking that the number of downloads is approaching the 500 million mark!
This means that the singer of this song can directly earn millions of dollars.
The current No.10 has only surpassed 500 million downloads!
The ratio of votes to downloads is astonishingly high.
The entertainment media big Vs who joined in the fun sighed, what is the real data that is popular, this is it!
Those in the top few with a ratio of more than three to one, don't blow it up with how much water has been injected into it!
However, the popularity brought by hot searches is only temporary, and the stamina depends on the quality of the song itself.
"Farewell to the Past" is sprinting towards the top ten gold seats in one go, or will it stop because of the decline in popular searches, or drop the ranking?
For a while, it became a big question on the minds of all those who followed the Star Show.
Reporters from various entertainment media, like flies smelling meat, rushed out one after another, swarming towards Liang Jingsheng, the "dark horse".
The instigator of all this, Liang Jingsheng himself, is not at all happy. He is so panicked, not to mention chasing his girlfriend, he is so scared that he dare not even leave the door. Seeing the ranking rise day by day, it is like the countdown to death!
Paper cannot contain fire!

Just as the song was going viral all over the internet at a rocket speed, the real singer, Xiao Chi, knew nothing about it because he was addicted to knitting sweaters.
On this day, Ji Chenxuan returned home after a day of work, and Xiao Chi was nestling on the sofa with the carrot pillow on his back, while knitting a sweater, he hummed happily: "I love you deeply~ ~You love an idiot~~oh~~knitting a sweater for an idiot~"
Ji Chenxuan: "..."
The author has something to say: Little Theater, Ji: Who are you scolding?
Xiao: Is it too self-conscious to be seated according to the number?
