Chapter 75: I'm not afraid of my brothers suffering, I'm afraid of my brothers driving Lan
If the web series' explosive popularity was expected, then the accompanying hit song was something Bai Li hadn't anticipated.
This was, after all, her first song, and she never expected it to receive such a huge response.
After being moved by the drama, many netizens spontaneously created short videos, and most of them unanimously chose "The Longest Dream" as the background music.
This is the theme song that Bai Li created for the web series "My Bronze Cauldron Can Connect the Past and Present".
The song opens with the image of stars adorning an ancient battlefield at night, slowly recounting the general's lingering regrets amidst the flames of war. A thousand years later, a young girl encounters the general by chance, and amidst tears and longing, she pours out her fragmented love imprisoned by time.
The song has a soothing rhythm, and amidst the sorrow, there is an emotional surge of sudden love, which complements the style of the entire drama perfectly.
What's particularly ingenious is that, after a series of cross-time exchanges and layers of emotional build-up, the male protagonist travels to the modern era and meets the female protagonist in the real world. This is undoubtedly the climax of the entire series, successfully pulling their cross-time romance from the virtual world into reality.
Just as the male and female leads locked eyes, the chorus of "A Long and Winding Dream" began to play softly:
Tears fall on white robes, composing a sorrowful melody of parting.
Love is imprisoned by the boundaries of time.
I hope to meet you again.
To continue the unfinished tale of love.
As soon as the melody began, many audience members were instantly moved to tears, their emotions reaching a peak.
This is why many viewers, even after watching the web series, still couldn't forget the song and searched for it separately to listen to on repeat, immersing themselves in its unique emotional atmosphere.
[Thumbs up for the opening theme song! It's even an original piece, and it's amazing! I immediately added it to my favorites and have been listening to it on repeat all afternoon.]
[I've spotted something interesting! In the trailer at the end of the web series, there's an investor named Bai Li, and the producer of this song is also Bai Li. [doge] Could it be just a coincidence of people sharing the same name?]
[I'm a member of the production crew! These two Bai Lis are the same person! She's not only our biggest investor, but also the composer of the theme song, and, just between you and me, she's incredibly beautiful.]
Could this Bai Li be the same person who was a fan of the original novel on the book fan forum?
[The truth is out! Is this the kind of love that wealthy female book fans show? Not only did she invest in the book herself, but she even wrote the song?!]
Netizens are truly amazing; otherwise, how could there be so many electronic police cameras?
Immediately, someone followed the clues and found more information about the white pear.
[Isn't the CEO of Day and Night Entertainment named Bai Li? There probably aren't many people with that name, right?]
[Breaking news! Day and Night Entertainment has just signed Zhang Yu, and it's been officially announced. There aren't that many coincidences of people sharing the same name; it must be her!]
[She's rich, can write songs, and now she's even signed my idol! What door did God close for her?! I'm asking you...]
Bai Li never expected that she would become a minor celebrity through this.
Unable to find Bai Li's personal account, netizens flocked to leave messages on Day and Night Entertainment's official account.
After hearing about it from the operations staff, Bai Li even went to check it out herself.
The comments section was almost entirely filled with people confessing their love.
Many people left messages with various purposes, including book fans who came specifically to recommend Bai Li's books.
"My Bronze Cauldron Can Connect the Past and Present" has won the favor of many book fans with its high degree of fidelity to the original work, good-looking actors, and excellent production. They are all looking forward to Bai Li investing in more excellent scripts.
[Has no one praised the singer of "A Long and Winding Dream"? Their voice is so unique and so full of emotion. When the male and female leads met and the song started playing, I burst into tears.]
[The voice is quite distinctive! And the bass is amazing, especially deep and resonant; the more you listen, the more you appreciate it.]
The singer is @山鬼 (ShanGui), a veteran singer and a hidden gem on the internet.
When Bai Li saw this comment, she immediately took a screenshot and sent it to Shan Gui.
Bai Li: @Shan Gui
Bai Li: A hidden gem among veteran singers on the internet
Bai Li: [Winking mischievously]
When Teacher Shan Gui received Bai Li's private message, he was showing off to his old friends in the group.
Having been around for so many years, I've met many friends online who also love singing. We're all like-minded people who appreciate each other's singing skills, and that's why we hang out together.
But they usually just tease each other a lot; they're a bunch of fair-weather friends.
When a brother is having a hard time, everyone will help him without hesitation.
But if the brother is doing well, that's bad.
My own failure is terrible, but my brother's success is even more heartbreaking.
I'm not afraid of my brothers living a hard life, I'm afraid of my brothers driving Land Rovers.
In the past, it was always the mountain ghost who watched others showing off in the group, which made him feel restless and envious.
For example, so-and-so got the number one ranking in the DY region again, so-and-so's monthly turnover reached seven figures again, so-and-so got an invitation to participate in some event, met JJ, and even got her autograph...
This time! It's finally my turn!
The mountain spirit simply left a single line of text in the group:
How did you know I sang "A Long and Dreamy Love Story"?
pastoral:? ? ?
Jia Lai: Okay, okay, I've given you a chance to show off.
Daidai: Ghost Bro is awesome!
Mountain Ghost felt a surge of satisfaction as he read the replies in the group chat, but this wasn't the most satisfying moment yet, because he could make the brothers in the group even more miserable.
Mountain Spirit: How did you know that this song was written specifically for me by my apprentice?
Jia Lai: No way! What gives you the right?!
Pastoral Song: When did you take on apprentices? Where did they come from? Where can you find an apprentice like this?
Dumb: This incredible wealth! My brother Gui actually caught it. To be honest, I'm envious.
Mountain Ghost: (*/w\*)
Mountain Spirit: How did you know my apprentice was a wealthy man?
Dumb: ...
Jia Lai: No, buddy, you went to sell it?
Orange Peel: The last time I saw him, I thought this kid looked like a male model. Don't tell me you really are.
King Yaoshun: Where's the group owner? Can't you kick the Mountain Demon out?!
Mountain Ghost: (▼ヘ▼)
Hmph, you can't take a joke, huh?
Just then, Bai Li's message popped up.
As soon as the mountain spirit opened the picture, he was deeply hurt by the word "old" on it.
—A hidden gem of an "old" singer on the internet.
The mountain spirit quickly typed an explanation.
Mountain Spirit: I just got into the internet industry a long time ago, I'm not old!
The mountain spirit knew that his song "A Long and Dreamy Love" had become a hit.
Recently, his live stream has seen an increase in viewers, including new viewers who came because of his reputation, as well as some netizens who remembered him.
Even some former colleagues who had become distant came to see him.
They had already given up on connecting with him for a PK battle, because they knew that Mountain Ghost was outdated and had no votes, so naturally, a battle couldn't take place.
But then everyone came to connect, calling him "Teacher Mountain Ghost" and "Senior" in a very polite way.
Anyway, the mountain spirit was very pleased.
Wuhu! We've finally achieved something great!
Finally, we've been seen!
He thought that was all he was on the internet, but unexpectedly, this time he gained a lot of traffic and showed signs of a comeback.
—All of this depends on the white pear.
Without Bai Li, he wouldn't have had this opportunity.
Who would have thought that the wealthy woman I met by chance was not only an investor, but also possessed extraordinary creative talent, able to tailor-make theme songs for the web series she invested in.
The mountain spirit was filled with amazement and admiration.
In this world, people who possess both abilities are extremely rare, but Shirai has achieved both.
She not only did it, but she also succeeded.
I was just lucky to catch the east wind.
How fortunate we are.
By sheer coincidence, they even became master and apprentice, though he had tricked them into it.
The mountain spirit secretly vowed to cling to Bai Li's coattails.
So when I received Bai Li's invitation, I immediately accepted.
Mountain Spirit: Dear sister, what good news is it?
Bai Li: Don't be silly.
Bai Li: You'll know when you get here.
Mountain Spirit: Do you reimburse my airfare?
Bai Li: ?
Bai Li: If you're not coming, I'll find someone else.
Mountain Ghost:!
Mountain Spirit: No!
Mountain Spirit: Get over here right now!
