Chapter 30

Because three original songs composed by Tang Feng dominated the top three spots on the hot new song chart, even surpassing five-star and six-star singers within the same period, he naturally gained a lot of popularity and attention.

Tang Feng's popularity soared once again, and Yu Shengnan, who had become the general manager of Youdou Show, was naturally overjoyed. The news that Tang Feng would release two new songs at 7 PM on Youdou Show was featured on the Youdou Video homepage, and she also specifically asked Tang Feng to announce on Weixun that he would release two new songs during the live stream.

Tang Feng can be considered an example of overnight fame, with the cumulative video views breaking 15 million, setting a record for self-produced videos. His songs were no less impressive, especially the newly released "Boundless Sky," which, although not sung by Tang Feng himself, was written and composed by him. Any discerning person could see that such an incredible achievement was due to the songs, not the singer.

The media's title of "Music Genius" for Tang Feng did not immediately face criticism or rebuttal, not because Tang Feng truly deserved it, but because many people were watching. Especially when Youdou announced that Tang Feng would release two new songs on Youdou Show tonight, those who were eager to see him fail temporarily held back.

Everyone was waiting, or rather, waiting. Whether they supported Tang Feng, were jealous of him, or were neutral, they were all waiting for his live stream tonight. Since 2007, Tang Feng has undoubtedly been the most prominent new star. Some people hoped he would fail, so they could crush him, while others hoped he would continue to create classics, which would be a blessing for fans. Still, others hoped his videos would maintain the quality of the first episode, as there were very few programs that could bring such joy...

Yu Shengnan was not without worry about this situation, but she was already in a difficult position. Especially with the "Music Genius" title, the media that gave Tang Feng such high praise must have had ulterior motives. This was a form of praise that could lead to his downfall.

What kind of circle is the entertainment industry? Yu Shengnan knew very well. Now, the performance of Youdou Show and Tang Feng were intertwined. If Tang Feng performed well, Youdou Show would have a successful launch. If he failed, Yu Shengnan believed that Starlight Show would not miss the opportunity to crush Youdou Show in its infancy.

Liu Jie from Hot Cool was also both hopeful and anxious. It wasn't that he didn't believe in Tang Feng's creative ability, but the previous songs were of such high quality that if the new songs released during the live stream were not as good, Liu Jie could imagine how people would smear Tang Feng.

Time: 4:00 PM, January 10, 2007.

Location: Tang Feng's rented basement room!

Characters: Tang Feng, the three members of Iron Wolf Band, brothers Chen Shao and Chen Jun, and tomboy Li Fang.

Event: Rehearsing songs!

"Fengzi, are you sure this is the song you're going to release tonight?" Chu Ge shook the lyrics in his hand and looked at Tang Feng with a constipated expression.

"Not just me, but all of us!" Tang Feng said with a sly smile.

"All of us? Are you sure? But the lyrics are too..." Chu Ge's expression became even more bizarre, as if he had been repeatedly embarrassed.

"Alright, these are actually translated lyrics. The original song was meant to be a duet, but I couldn't find a suitable girl to sing with, so I made a dialect version first." To be honest, even Tang Feng himself found it ridiculous.

"Dialect? Are you sure? What are the original lyrics? And what kind of dialect is this? It feels like singing this song will make me lose all my integrity!" Chen Shao, the pseudo-artsy youth, couldn't help but comment on the lyrics.

"Integrity? What's that? Do you have any?" Tang Feng looked at Chen Shao calmly.

Chen Shao: "..."

Iron Wolf trio: "..."

Li Fang: "..."

Tang Feng felt very satisfied with their speechless expressions. In fact, he hadn't planned this song before, as it was too... ridiculous, especially the translated lyrics, which were... in a word, where was the integrity?

Suddenly, a weak voice asked, "Can we wear masks when we sing?"

Everyone, except Tang Feng, turned to look at Chen Jun with a gleam in their eyes.

Then they all turned to Tang Feng.

"You guys..." Tang Feng was speechless. What kind of friends did he have? Wearing masks? The song was already ridiculous enough, and now with masks, it would be even more shocking, but... it was actually a pretty good idea!

After a lot of arguing, and Tang Feng agreeing to many unfair conditions, the six friends agreed to accompany him for the live stream, but on the condition that they would wear masks!

Thus, Tang Feng's small nest echoed with strange practice singing.

Of course, since he had prepared a hit song from another world, the other song couldn't be a normal one either. At least, Tang Feng thought the other song was even more ridiculous than the one they were preparing to sing together!

Moreover, this song was one that the previous Tang Feng had learned for a long time but never mastered, truly a god-level hit. When Tang Feng "plagiarized" the song, the memorable god-level hits naturally came to mind, and he hummed them out, which surprised him. Perhaps as a reborn person, he could now sing the god-level hits that he couldn't master in his previous life, without even looking at the lyrics.

The reason Tang Feng chose to sing such a ridiculous god-level hit during the live stream was not a spur-of-the-moment decision but a well-thought-out choice.

Originally, Tang Feng didn't plan to sing these two songs that would inevitably raise questions, but chose other more classic songs. However, a phone call from Yu Shengnan changed his mind.

Yu Shengnan had called earlier to express her concerns, partly to ask if Tang Feng was confident and partly to warn him about getting carried away due to the media's praise, which was common in the entertainment industry.

Especially the "Music Genius" title, which was too much. Even if Tang Feng's songs were classics, he had only released three songs so far, which was not enough to deserve such a title.

In fact, Tang Feng had also felt a bit elated, as this was the first time he had been praised so highly, even in two lifetimes. However, after Yu Shengnan's cold water, he regained his composure.

Indeed, his foundation was still too shallow. In the music industry or the entertainment world, he was still a fresh new face. Many people were waiting to see him fail and to take advantage of his downfall. Moreover, he had offended Starlight Group and Tian Sheng Music. If he made a mistake, they would not hesitate to crush him.
