Chapter 525 exploded!
The song "One Day" was originally included in the first foreign language album produced for Lu Qinyao (Chapter 474).
There are three English songs in this album. In addition to this song "One Day", there is also Adele's "Someone Like You" and Beyoncé's classic "Halo".
To be honest, Xu Xiyu had no intention of singing these songs by himself before.
I sang "One Day" just to maintain the state of recording songs, so I chose this relatively simple English song to record it again.
I never expected that I would actually use it. I can only say that it had its own destiny. If I had not chosen to copy the song "One Day" to Lu Qinyao, I would not have recorded it along with it.
So now it's just a week to improvise lyrics, accompaniment, recording, and post-production. How can it be as easy to use as it is now?
However, it was convenient for Xu Xiyu.
Nancy began to doubt life.
At this time, "One Day" was playing on the expensive speaker equipment in her living room. Anyone who has listened to this song knows that the lyrics are positive, the melody is catchy, and it is easy to sing along.
That said, this is a pretty good piece of music.
It is precisely because "One Day" is so good that it makes Nancy doubt life.
Why?
Why does he happen to have a song against violence and war?
This song was definitely not written on the spur of the moment.
Because he had been with him these days, and even after the shooting, he and Shan Xinbao moved directly into his home.
So, this song must have been written before.
But this writing is too appropriate, right?
Listen to the lyrics: "stopwiththeviolence(stop all violence)downwiththehate(lay down hatred)onedaywe'll allbefree(one day we will all be free)"
Is it possible that he is really God's favorite?
Accompanied by the singing, Nancy suddenly turned her head and looked at Xu Xiyu beside her.
I saw Xu Xiyu playing an ocarina while tapping his toes to follow the music of "One Day". He looked happy and content, with a somewhat otherworldly temperament.
A Neptune, a scumbag, can actually have the aura of a mortal.
This made Nancy couldn't help but whisper "Xiyu~"
"What's wrong?" Xu Xiyu looked over in confusion. This was the first time she called her by her name. She used to call her by her last name or her English name.
"You..." Seeing Xu Xiyu looking at her, Nancy didn't know what to say for a while. After a long time, she said "you".
She lowered her eyes and shook her head and said, "It's nothing. Do you really want to go back tomorrow?"
"Yes, it's better to leave early, but among the people I brought, some will stay here to form my American studio. Please take care of them."
"Well~" Nancy nodded boredly when she heard this, then stood up and said, "Then you go to bed early, good night."
After saying this, she got up and walked upstairs with bare feet, no longer teasing Xu Xiyu like before.
the next day.
It's evening again.
Washington, D.C., Chinese Embassy.
A middle-aged officer knocked on the door of Wang Shan's office. After pushing the door open, he immediately said: "Boss, Xu Xiyu has returned to China!"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Shan, who was reading the documents, raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Why did you suddenly return to China?"
Yesterday, just yesterday, I was still worried that Xu Xiyu would lose himself in the current flowery situation, but today he went back?
So, he asked again: "Did he have any emergency in China? The Hugo Awards will be presented tomorrow night, why did he suddenly leave today?"
"There shouldn't be any urgent matters in the country. I guess he just wants to leave. Leader, do you know what plane he took to leave?"
"What else can he take? Doesn't he have a Bombardier Global 8000 parked at Los Angeles Airport?"
"No, he flew on a civil airline. Do you think he was quite cautious? He probably felt that it would be too dangerous to stay in the United States any longer. It would be safer to fly on a civil airline. After all, the more people there, the safer it is." said the pointed one.
When Wang Shan heard this, he blinked and thought for a while. Just when he was about to say something, he heard the officer say: "There is one more thing that can prove that he did leave in a planned way."
< br>
"What?"
"Before he left this afternoon, he made a special trip to Monterey Garden City and played an ocarina in front of the memorial site for the victims. Then he wrote the words 'May World Peace' on the ocarina and left the ocarina behind. There it is.”
"Played some ocarina?!" Wang Shan was completely interested now. He put down the document in his hand and asked, "Is there any live video or something? What did you play??"
< br>
"Yes, in addition to this ocarina song, he also released a song, which is now very popular on the Internet." The officer said as he took out his mobile phone and opened the YouTube channel.
After searching for the video, he handed it to Wang Shan.
Wang Shan took it and took a look, only to see a video titled [Leonardo Xu performed original pure music "Heaven" for the "Victims of the Monterey Garden Shooting"] appeared in front of him.
Clicking on the video, you can see Xu Xiyu, dressed in a long blue dress, standing in front of the victims' site filled with flowers, playing the ocarina with a solemn expression.
His image emerged gracefully, and the melody he played was compassionate and graceful. Coupled with the name "Heaven" and the scene at the scene, as well as what happened here before, it really made the audience feel a lot.
If there were listeners on Earth around, they would definitely have other feelings.
Because Xu Xiyu's song called "Heaven" is actually the famous "City in the Sky".
After a few minutes of playing the song, the people who came to pay homage shed tears.
Watching the video, Wang Shan couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, I didn't expect that Xu Xiyu has this skill. He can also play the ocarina?"
"Leader, it's normal that you're usually too busy and haven't paid attention to it. In fact, when he first debuted a few years ago, he composed an original ocarina song called "The Scenery of Hometown", which astonished everyone with his skills and directly promoted the development of the ocarina. sales.
He is also unknown as a young ocarina artist. His song "Landscape of Hometown" is a must-learn piece for ocarina lovers. "The clerk introduced with a smile. ""Scenery of Hometown" was created by Xu Xiyu? ! "Wang Shan has listened to this song many times because it is often used as background music in some domestic documentaries. He did not expect that it was composed by Xu Xiyu.
As a result, he exclaimed: "I thought I had high regard for his creative talent, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated him."
"How can I say that he is the most talented young literary and art practitioner in the country? There is no one among them. He is a jack of all trades and an expert in everything." The clerk followed up with a compliment.
Wang Shan, the first brother stationed in the United States, will be transferred back next year to be the "external boss" if nothing else happens.
Since he admires Xu Xiyu and hopes that Xu Xiyu can play a role in foreign cultural industry exchanges in the future, he must follow the leader to appreciate Xu Xiyu, so that he can be considered as one with the leader.
When Wang Shan heard the officer's compliment, he laughed and did not answer, but continued to watch the video with his head down.
In the video, Xu Xiyu, who was dressed in long clothes, took a white signature pen and wrote five Chinese words "May World Peace" on a brown ocarina.
Then he wrote [PeaceandLove (Love and Peace)] under the Chinese characters
Then he placed the ocarina among the flowers.
Then he left quietly.
The video ends here. After the end, several related recommended videos also have the same content, but the shooting angles are different.
Ever since, Wang Shan retreated to the details page again, scrolling down and saw that this video, which was posted an hour ago, has been viewed 480,000 times on YouTube.
The way YouTube calculates views is different from some domestic video websites.
With 480,000 views in 1 hour, it can be said to be a very popular video. There are more than 2,000 comments. When you click on them, you will see that the top ones are all in English.
[Oh my God, he is so brave and kind, I am almost moved to tears by him]
[This song is so beautiful. Can it be put on Soundstage? (Shengtian is Spotify, one of the largest music streaming platforms on the Internet)]
[Ohmygod, I didn’t know until now that he is the author of "Landscape of Hometown". I bought the ocarina because I listened to his song - Love from Vietnam]
[I’m curious, are all Chinese artists like him, able to create pure music, pop songs, TV shows, movies, and even have the skills to subdue gunmen with their bare hands? 】
[How is it possible? In fact, there is only one person like him in China]
[May I ask if he is single? Maybe I can pursue him and become his girlfriend]
[Then you may be disappointed. As far as I know, he has many girlfriends and his private life is the same as Luciano]
[It doesn’t matter, as long as you are more beautiful than the red-haired girl in the video, then you will definitely be able to pursue him XDD]
In the comment area, some people commented that they were moved, and some discussed other things.
Wang Shan couldn't help but feel happy. He also heard a little bit about Xu Xiyu's emotional life. He even knew that someone had sent Xu Xiyu a message that said, "Young man, be wary of sex."
In their circle, this has become a "joke".
Thinking of this, Wang Shan said happily: "Didn't you say that he released a song? What song? Help me search for it."
After speaking, he handed the phone back to the officer.
Ten seconds later, Wang Shan took his phone back and saw a video titled "California hero Leonardo Xu's song "One Day" dedicated to the world, calling for love and peace" displayed on his phone.
Clicking on it, Xu Xiyu appeared in front of the camera.
One of the reporters holding a microphone asked: "How do you feel about everyone calling you a 'California hero'?"
Faced with this question, Xu Xiyu was silent for a moment and replied with a serious expression: "I am very grateful for everyone's support, but to be honest, my biggest wish is that there will be no more 'heroes' like me."
"That's a pretty good answer." Wang Shan couldn't help but nodded.
At this time, the picture ended with Xu Xiyu's answer and slowly began to change.
The prelude of "One Day" began to sound, and then the screen of various clips mixed together lit up.
Xu Xiyu's singing voice also slowly floated out: "One day sometimes I lay under the moon (Sometimes I lie under the moonlight)..."
One minute later...
When the video showed Xu Xiyu inviting children from mountainous areas to come to the capital, Wang Shan was stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, the screen switched, and the smiling faces of children from all countries and races appeared one by one. And the song has also reached its climax.
For a moment, Wang Shan suddenly remembered another song by Xu Xiyu, that song was called "Tomorrow Will Be Better".
So, he couldn't help but look up at the manager and asked: "Did he write this song temporarily?"
"No, he responded in the comment area that he wrote it half a year ago."
"Half a year ago?! That's impossible, it sounds like it was written specifically for this incident!" Wang Shan was finally a little surprised. Is it appropriate to use a song written half a year ago to suit the occasion?
The most important thing is that Wang Shan found that his previous worries about Xu Xiyu were completely unnecessary.
He is far more awake than he thought.
"No wonder he can stand at the top of our domestic entertainment industry at such a young age. He deserves it. He is indeed at this level." Wang Shan couldn't help but admire him.
People like him who were used to big scenes were shocked.
Those netizens who listened to the song, and colleagues at home and abroad who paid attention to this matter, the reaction was even more incredible.
On the internal and external networks, the popularity of this song "Oneday" exploded.
