Chapter 86

The superstar Zhou Qingyun, who had won the Huaguo Golden Dragon Best Actor Award twice, was a rare presence among top-tier celebrities, a major influencer with over ten million followers on WeChat. Song Tiande never would have thought that his confrontation with the small streamer Tang Feng would rouse such a big shot, and that he would come in with a fierce blow.

Song Tiande certainly didn't expect that, in fact, with Zhou Qingyun's current status, Tang Feng was merely an interesting young man in his eyes, and they had never met. Their relationship had not reached the point where Zhou Qingyun would stand up for Tang Feng.

In fact, although Zhou Qingyun had achieved the pinnacle in the film industry, his development in the music industry was not as smooth.

The main reason was his image and voice. Although he had released several albums, his professional evaluation in the music field was not high. It wasn't that Zhou Qingyun's singing skills were poor, but his voice was more rugged, so there were very few songs suitable for him, and classic songs were even rarer. This led to his development in the music industry being consistently unsatisfactory.

The song Tang Feng wrote for "Manjianghong" indeed sparked Zhou Qingyun's desire to re-enter the music industry. Of course, one song couldn't prove much, but it was a hope. In the film industry, he had already reached the peak, and to take another step forward, he had to look in other directions.

If Tang Feng were just a newcomer in the music industry, no matter how popular he was, Zhou Qingyun wouldn't pay too much attention, even for the sake of Dong Bingbing. However, the Chinese music industry's emphasis on copyright made the status and influence of original creators comparable to that of front-stage stars, and top lyricists and composers were even more influential.

Although Tang Feng had only created a few songs, several of them were already considered classics.

For example, "Vast and Boundless" was an absolute classic in rock music, and the fresh and nostalgic "Campus Flower" he wrote for Dong Bingbing, as well as the current song that could be said to be tailor-made for him, were all considered classics.

It wasn't difficult for him to get a few good songs with his status, but finding songs suitable for him was not that simple. Since Tang Feng could produce such good songs in such a short time, and even a commissioned song, it showed his talent, which is why Zhou Qingyun became interested in him.

A songwriter who could write tailor-made songs for singers was truly rare.

After obtaining the song, Zhou Qingyun began to pay attention to Tang Feng. He watched the video of Tang Feng's "Three Kingdoms" live stream later. At first, he had some doubts about Tang Feng, but after watching the entire video, Zhou Qingyun couldn't help but look at Tang Feng with new eyes and no longer doubted his talent.

A young man who could write several classic songs in a row and had such a deep understanding of history and culture was definitely not someone who could achieve this through hype alone.

Song Tiande's attack, of course, he knew about it. When he saw Song Tiande's despicable actions, he was also disgusted. It was just that Song Tiande mentioned that Tang Feng had not received recognition from top-tier stars, and in Song Tiande's eyes, Dong Bingbing was not yet a top-tier star, so she was naturally overlooked.

Zhou Qingyun didn't mind helping Tang Feng at such a time, and he indeed wanted to give Song Tiande a slap.

He didn't do much, just posted a WeChat message.

"Announcing a piece of news, the theme song for 'Manjianghong' has been decided — 'Loyalty to the Country,' to be sung by me, Zhou Qingyun. Thanks to Tang Feng for the lyrics and composition, a true music genius, as the name suggests!"

As soon as Zhou Qingyun's WeChat message was posted, his fans were immediately excited.

"Boss is finally making a comeback in the music industry, looking forward to it!"

"Loyalty to the Country, what a great song title! Boss is finally back in the music industry, I'm so excited I'm crying!"

"Boss, hurry up! Don't keep us waiting too long!"

"Thanks to Tang Feng, write a few more songs for our boss!"

"..."

Zhou Qingyun's WeChat message was quickly shared by countless people, and many of his fans also went to thank Tang Feng because of Zhou Qingyun's words.

Song Tiande was stunned. When did Tang Feng write a song for "Manjianghong"? And it was even sung by Zhou Qingyun. He had just said that Tang Feng had never received recognition from top-tier stars, and now Zhou Qingyun came out like this. Wasn't this a slap in the face?

It was as if he had eagerly put his face up for Zhou Qingyun to slap. This made Tang Feng's fans and the onlookers online very excited, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

"Music genius, as Zhou Qingyun said, Song Tiande, dare you say Zhou Qingyun is not a top-tier star?"

"King Zhou has acknowledged that Tang Feng is a true music genius, Song Tiande, what excuse do you have now?"

"Loyalty to the Country, just from the title, it's definitely a song that will make your blood boil, looking forward to it, Song Tiande, go eat dirt!"

"Thanks to Boss Zhou for clearing Tang Feng's name, Song Tiande, admit your wickedness!"

"..."

Song Tiande was speechless. How could he refute this? Was he going to question whether Zhou Qingyun was a top-tier star? Wasn't this like lighting a lamp in the toilet — asking for death (shit)?

He believed that if he dared to do this, his outcome would be no better than admitting his wickedness!

Tang Feng also didn't expect Zhou Qingyun's support. After all, the gap between their statuses was too large. Although he was now somewhat famous, he was incomparable to Zhou Qingyun.

Zhou Qingyun's WeChat message was like a sharp knife, piercing straight into Song Tiande's heart.

At this moment, Tang Feng also knew who Zhou Qingyun was. Because he knew who Zhou Qingyun was, he was even more puzzled. Why did Zhou Qingyun help him? Was it just because of that song? This seemed unlikely. Was it because of Dong Bingbing?

After thinking for a long time, Tang Feng still couldn't figure out the reason, but Zhou Qingyun's support made him very happy. No matter what, Song Tiande couldn't deny it now.

However, Tang Feng still underestimated Song Tiande's shamelessness. Song Tiande remained silent and did not make any further statements. No matter how much the netizens cursed him, he didn't come out. It wasn't hard to imagine that if Song Tiande admitted his wickedness, he would not only become a laughingstock but also be despised by people, which would be a self-destructive act.

So he chose silence. Although silence would make people think he was untrustworthy and couldn't take a loss, no matter which choice, it was extremely fatal for him.

But in comparison, if he admitted his wickedness, it would be a self-denial of his character and morality. On the other hand, although silence would make people despise him, once the storm passed, he still had a chance to make a comeback. So, after weighing the options, he chose silence.

This battle between Song Tiande and Tang Feng ended with Tang Feng's great victory and Song Tiande's reputation in ruins, but the process was highly entertaining for many people.
