"By the way, that woman seems to be from Tian Sheng Music. Chu Ge, if you offend her like this, won’t you really be blacklisted?" Chen Shao said with some concern.
"Blacklisted? So what! What the hell, they want to use our songs to promote Ye Tianlong that bastard, and even threaten and tempt us. Do they really think we’re fools!" Chu Ge said angrily.
Before the final, he had dreamed of making it to the top three and being signed by Tian Sheng Music. But now, he realized that the entertainment industry was even darker than he had imagined, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit disheartened.
"Blacklisted? Brother Liu, it looks like we need your help!" Tang Feng smiled and looked at Liu Jie.
"Fengzi, who is this?" Chu Ge was taken aback by the words and only then noticed Liu Jie.
"Let me introduce you three. This is Liu Jie, the editor of Reku Music, and also my mentor. Don’t worry, as long as Brother Liu is willing to help, that old woman’s threat won’t amount to anything. Right, Brother Liu?" Tang Feng said with a grin, looking at Liu Jie.
Upon hearing this, Chu Ge and the others looked at Liu Jie with fiery eyes. Compared to a giant like Reku, Tian Sheng Music really didn’t seem like much.
Chu Ge and the others warmly approached and shook hands with Liu Jie.
"You guys sang 'Boundless Sky' so well last night! I came with Feng Shao precisely to invite you to join our Reku. What do you think about it? As for Yu Mei’s threat, if you join Reku, Tian Sheng Music will have to give us some face and won’t make things difficult for you," Liu Jie said with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Liu, thank you, Brother Liu! Of course, we are willing to join Reku!" Chu Ge and the others quickly replied.
After Yu Mei stormed out in a rage, she soon encountered Ye Tianlong and others from the BD band.
"Sister Mei? How did it go? Did they agree?" Ye Tianlong saw that Yu Mei’s face was not good and asked cautiously.
"Agree? Hell no! A bunch of hicks, they actually think they’re stars! I’m so angry!" Yu Mei said angrily.
"Sister Mei, calm down, there’s no need to get angry over such people!" Ye Tianlong quickly tried to console her.
"No, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. I won’t let this go. I’ll have the company blacklist them. What the hell, how dare they talk to me like that!" Yu Mei said, her anger growing.
Hearing Yu Mei’s words, Ye Tianlong was secretly delighted. His eyes twinkled as if he had an idea. "Sister Mei, 'Boundless Sky' is an original song. How could these hicks suddenly write such a good song? Could it be that this song isn’t written by them?"
"Hmm?" Yu Mei was taken aback, but after some thought, she realized it was possible.
"Yes, that’s right. If this song isn’t written by them, we just need to find the original author and buy the song..." Yu Mei nodded, the more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. If the Iron Wolf band really had that kind of talent, they wouldn’t have been obscure for so many years.
Although Yu Mei’s character wasn’t great, she could still tell good songs from bad. 'Boundless Sky' was definitely a rare gem.
Yu Mei quickly went to the music association’s website to search for the copyright information of 'Boundless Sky.'
The results came quickly.
'Boundless Sky' Composer: Tang Feng, Lyricist: Tang Feng! Certification date: January 3, 2007! Certification number...
Seeing this information, both Yu Mei and Ye Tianlong were delighted. Indeed, the song wasn’t written by Iron Wolf.
"Tang Feng? Tang Feng, why does this name sound familiar?" Ye Tianlong frowned slightly.
"You’ve heard of him?" Yu Mei asked, somewhat surprised.
"Right! It was in the news, about the talent department head of Starlight Show apologizing to a streamer. The streamer’s name was Tang Feng, but I don’t know if it’s the same person."
"Search it!" Yu Mei pondered for a moment, then opened a search engine and typed in Tang Feng.
They didn’t know what they would find, but the news about Tang Feng was quite extensive.
"Hmm? It’s him!" Yu Mei’s eyes widened as she looked at the screenshot of Tang Feng from the news.
"Do you know him, Sister Mei?" Ye Tianlong had seen Tang Feng outside the bar before, but at that time, he was mocking Chu Ge and the others and didn’t pay much attention.
"Know him? Haha, I just saw him! You don’t need to think about 'Boundless Sky,' he won’t sell it to us!" Yu Mei said with a self-deprecating laugh.
"This..." Ye Tianlong, no matter how foolish, understood what Yu Mei meant by "just saw him."
"What about blacklisting Iron Wolf?" Ye Tianlong asked cautiously.
"Blacklist? Blacklist what? Didn’t you see that Tang Feng has two songs that just went up and are already on Reku’s new song chart? Given his relationship with Reku, do you think we can blacklist him?" Yu Mei said angrily, though she was inwardly furious, she had no good plan at the moment.
The next day.
The news about the Rock Night was broadcast. Although Jingdu TV was only a local station in Beijing, it still had a significant influence in the region.
The Iron Wolf band also began to gain recognition with 'Boundless Sky.'
Reku took advantage of this momentum, quickly signed the Iron Wolf band, and put 'Boundless Sky' on the shelf that night.
Even the chief editor of Reku Music, after hearing the song and learning that it was written by Tang Feng, immediately decided to recommend 'Boundless Sky,' 'Pig’s Song,' and 'Miss Dong' to the homepage.
Thanks to the popularity of Tang Feng’s two songs, 'Boundless Sky' soared to the top of the new song sales chart as soon as it was released, even surpassing the first-day sales of Tang Feng’s own two songs.
January 10, 2007!
No one expected, not even Tang Feng himself, that 'Boundless Sky' would top the new song sales chart in just one day, and it did so more quickly than his own two songs. Of course, being promoted to the homepage right after release helped, but even so, it was beyond Reku’s expectations.
The entire internet and music forums were stunned by the sudden surge in rock music sales.
"Shocking! 'Boundless Sky' on Reku Music sells over 100,000 copies in a day, sweeping the new song chart!"
"Music genius emerges! Reku’s top three new songs are all by one person: 'Pig’s Song,' 'Miss Dong,' and 'Boundless Sky'!"
"This is real rock! 'Boundless Sky' by Iron Wolf band, a hit in one song!"
When they saw that 'Boundless Sky' had 2,852,644 listens and 132,002 downloads in less than 24 hours, and its sales had already surpassed the first-day sales of Tang Feng’s own two songs, even Tang Feng himself couldn’t help but marvel. Classics are classics, even though 'Pig’s Song' and 'Miss Dong' are also excellent songs, they still fell short compared to 'Boundless Sky.'
