16: Chapter 16 Song: "The Only One"
After finishing their meal, they returned to Tongxing Entertainment Company.
Wang Bo was fuming. "I told you guys to hurry up, but you kept dragging your feet."
"Look at this, it's only ten minutes until eight o'clock."
Wang Bo was like a resentful young bride, complaining incessantly.
His heart felt like it was being tugged by something, unable to settle, filled with anxiety over potential gains and losses.
"Second Bo, stay calm. You don't look quite right right now."
"If the song doesn't get a good reaction, are you going to jump off a building?"
'the only one' was a classic song on Earth, loved by many and possessing a huge fan base.
These people were born in different eras and had different identities, but they all loved this song.
However, it was inevitable that it might struggle to adapt to the Blue Star, not being recognized or liked by everyone.
Moreover, Wang Bo wasn't famous, and Tongxing Entertainment's promotion was quite lackluster.
They had only posted an announcement on the company's official website, and the company's few artists had reposted it.
the only one with a significant fan base was Zhang Ying.
Looking at it comprehensively, Chen Shaoping couldn't find a single point that would make 'the only one' go viral.
Although his words were a bit harsh, he had to give Wang Bo a reality check in advance.
"Wang Bo, Teacher Chen is right. It's not the first time you've released a song, so why are you even more nervous now?" Zhang Ying asked.
Wang Bo didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Indeed, it wasn't his first time releasing a song, so why was he acting so anxious this time?
After a moment of silence, he stammered, "Maybe it's because I inwardly feel like I can definitely get famous this time, so my expectations are much higher."
His voice was even trembling as he spoke!
Li Qian felt sorry for Wang Bo. Only she knew how hard he worked in private and how much effort he had put in to become famous.
Countless days and nights of hard practice were all to be fully prepared and to do justice to every song.
She walked over, hugged Wang Bo tightly, and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Darling, don't put too much pressure on yourself. We've done our best, and the rest is up to fate."
Chen Shaoping rolled his eyes at the two of them and muttered, "What a couple, flaunting their affection everywhere."
Zhang Ying also felt a bit embarrassed and stole a glance at Chen Shaoping.
"Stop being so sentimental, Second Bo. Don't worry, I'll definitely make you famous. I have many songs like 'the only one'."
"You're bragging!..."
"Don't argue, it's eight o'clock!"
'the only one' was officially launched on the General Music Network.
Zhang Ying interrupted the two of them.
Zhang Ying spent a little money to buy the full version, and the music flowed out like a trickling stream.
The piano at the beginning easily drew people in.
...
In a male dormitory at a university in Yangcheng.
Zhang Ze was constantly browsing the General Music Network, looking for a suitable song.
Because today he was going to do something big, something crazy.
However, he had been searching for a long time and hadn't found a song suitable for a confession.
He began to feel irritable because he didn't have much time left.
Suddenly, he saw a newly released song on the homepage with a title that perfectly met his requirements.
Although he didn't know the singer, he still clicked on it.
The thirty-second preview ended quickly.
A highly penetrating voice moved him; the arrangement was clean, and the lyrics were sweet.
He paid the money and began to enjoy the song 'the only one' from the beginning.
"How fresh my sky is
Transparent promises are the air of the past
The one holding my hand is you
But your smile is unclear"
...
"Oh Baby, you are my only one
Both worlds are distorted, how easy is it to go back
Surely, you are my only one
Saying I love you, I really love you, alone to the phone
Baby, I can't love you any more than this"
When the song reached the climax of the chorus, Zhang Ze couldn't help but sing along.
Although this song was difficult for a layman like him,
he had already decided.
He would use the little time remaining to learn this song.
He wanted to use this song to confess his feelings.
At the same moment, in an office building in Kyoto.
Liu Zhiqiang, who was in his thirties and still single, was making final adjustments to a work proposal.
After ten years of hard work, he had become a junior manager in this foreign company.
This was largely due to his personality of liking to do many things himself.
He clicked on the song 'the only one', put on his headphones, and started listening.
His fingers continued to tap on the keyboard.
He clicked on this song because he was a fan of Zhang Ying, a die-hard fan.
However, Zhang Ying hadn't released a new song in the past two years, which had disappointed him.
Now that his favorite singer had recommended a song, he naturally had to support it.
As the song played, his hands tapping the keyboard gradually stopped.
He began to listen to the music seriously.
After listening once, his breathing was rapid; he was hooked.
He listened to it again and got even more hooked, while a hint of regret was hidden in the depths of his heart.
He opened his Moments, feeling that such a good song shouldn't be listened to alone, and he shouldn't be the only one to endure the heart-wrenching love in the song.
"Discovered a hidden gem of a song, 'the only one'. The kind of irresistible love it expresses will fill you with infinite imagination!"
He also posted the link to the song in his Moments.
Only then did he dive back into his work.
Fifty minutes later.
"Old Liu, you clickbaiter! But the song is really good, I've already saved it."
"Brother Liu, I cried so hard after listening to the song. Wuwuwu, my eyes are swollen from crying. You have to buy me milk tea tomorrow."
...
A girl held her phone, looking at the only post in her Moments.
She also put on her headphones and began to listen seriously to the song recommended in her Moments.
On the other side.
Below a female dormitory building at a university.
With the help of his classmates, Zhang Ze used 999 balloons to arrange a heart-shaped pattern.
A large cake was placed in the center of the pattern.
He stood nervously behind the cake holding a megaphone.
22:48, the exact time the girl he liked was born.
He cleared his throat and pointed the megaphone at his mouth.
"Wu Xiaoli, a senior in accounting, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Wu Xiaoli, today is your birthday. Happy birthday to you."
"From the first moment I saw you at school, I fell in love with you and couldn't help myself. Your every smile is deeply imprinted in my mind."
"From now on, you are my only one."
The commotion caused by Zhang Ze quickly alerted the girls upstairs.
Some were envious, some thought it was noisy, some cursed, and some even responded boldly.
"Handsome guy, if Wu Xiaoli doesn't agree, how about me? You're also my only one."
The bold statement made everyone burst into laughter.
In Dormitory 43, a girl about 1.55 meters tall was pulled out of bed by her roommate.
"Xiaoli, that bastard Zhang Ze is confessing to you. Should we ignore him for a bit?"
Wu Xiaoli looked at the handsome boy below from the window, her heart pounding and her eyes moistening.
She thought of the scene when they first met, that slightly silly but handsome boy.
Holding the wrong thermos, he had stood in the cold wind for a long time waiting for her.
She could still feel his body heat when she took the thermos.
A happy smile appeared on her face, and she turned and ran out the door.
She was still wearing a set of cartoon pink pajamas.
Seeing this, her other roommates immediately followed her out, shouting noisily.
"Xiaoli, wait for us."
