A few days later.
A promotional poster was released.
A red dress formed the main color.
[Zhang Ye's first single's music video was released today!]
[Countdown: One hour.]
The netizens were shouting non-stop on Zhang Ye's Studio's Weibo.
"Hurry up!"
"We've been promoting it for days."
"Why haven't you sent it yet?"
"It's Zhang Ye's first single! I can't wait!"
"Look at the poster. It seems very powerful."
"Just wait, it's almost there."
"Damn, so many people are waiting?"
"That's right. Teacher Zhang has never released a single in such a grand manner before, and it's even a music video. The previous' The King Sent Me on Mountain Patrol 'was recorded by a radio station, and the later' Beijing Welcomes You 'was performed by a group of celebrities. The' You and Me 'with Lillian was also performed by two people, and it was even taken from a live broadcast of the Olympics, so it's not a real music video. This is the first time a young lady is going on a sedan chair, so we definitely have to support her. We have to wait even if we have to sell everything we have!"
"Just because of Zhang Ye's reputation, we have to watch it."
"I'm looking forward to it."
"I heard it was taken by him and a bunch of his classmates."
"Li Xiaoxian will also be releasing a single today. It's Sunset Glow from King of Masked Singers."
"Ah? Spring Garden's Li Xiaoxian is going solo? "
"It can't be. It's just a single. Didn't Captain Xiaodong do it before?"
"Ah, look!"
"What happened?"
"Li Xiaoxian has changed the release date for her single!"
"Pu, it can't be, right?"
"The date was set last month."
"Yeah, it should be today."
The netizens suddenly discovered that the release of Li Xiaoxian's single had been postponed. The reason given was that there were some technical problems with the release process, so it was changed to next Monday.
Then, the manager of a young C-list singer also delayed the release of his latest album. It was not much, only delayed by two days. The reason was that the publicity department had gotten the date wrong.
An industry musician lamented on Weibo: "Are they trying to avoid Zhang Ye?"
Another industry insider laughed and said, "It looks like there aren't many people who are willing to fight on the same ranking as Zhang Ye."
The industry insiders and netizens did not believe the reasons given for the delay.
"Bullshit, you got the time wrong!"
"It's been half a month since it was released, and now you realize it's a mistake?"
"Just hide from Zhang Ye. What's there to hide from?"
"Haha, look at how popular Teacher Zhang is. This single of his was released too suddenly. Not only us, even a lot of people in the industry were caught off guard!"
"We still have to hide."
"Yeah, we can't possibly go head to head with Zhang Ye, right?"
"Yeah, even Chen Guang would have to reconsider."
"Do you guys think that Zhang Ye will be able to sweep the rankings again this time?"
"Of course, isn't it? When he was still King of Masked Singers, which of his songs didn't dominate? "
"But it's different this time. It's a music video this time, so we have to look at the artistic quality of the images and their matching. Zhang Ye is good at singing and writing songs, but a music video …"
The time was getting closer and closer.
Countdown:
Five minutes.
Three minutes.
One minute.
Zhang Ye's fans all went to the website where "To Youth" was first uploaded.
Most of the people who came to watch were industry insiders. Almost everyone in the music industry had come to watch. They wanted to see what Zhang Ye's first music video would be like. They were all very curious about it.
The music video was released!
A soft and gentle image popped up.
A gust of autumn wind blew and leaves fluttered in the wind. A hand appeared in the camera and gently pinched a fluttering leaf. The hand brought it to his mouth and blew on it, but it did not make a sound.
It was Zhang Ye's face.
The camera zoomed out. A lot of people were walking over from afar and gathering in the center.
A lot of people were stunned when they saw this.
This was a school?
This was Media College?
Zhang Ye's alma mater?
…
In a house somewhere.
Qiu Yumei was lying on the bed, looking haggard. There was no life in her eyes.
Her husband asked, "Do you want some more?"
Qiu Yumei said, "No."
Her husband asked, "Do you want some water?"
Qiu Yumei said, "I'm not thirsty."
Her husband did not say anything more. He tucked her in and turned around to sit in front of the computer. He was about to play some music for his wife when he suddenly froze. Zhang Ye's first music video?
He instinctively clicked on it. "Little Qiu!"
Qiu Yumei did not even open her eyes. "Eh?"
He pointed at the computer excitedly. "It's your classmates. Zhang Ye, Liu Tie, they're all your classmates!"
At this moment, the singing started.
"Perhaps we won't see each other again.
"The yellowish sky when we part.
"Some people are destined to never see each other again.
"The faces of those who used to be green."
Qiu Yumei suddenly opened her eyes and was stunned!
Zhang'er!
Shanshan!
Yingyi!
Tiezi!
Old Wang!
You all! You all —
…
At a construction site.
A young man wearing a hard hat was covered in dirt. He said loudly, "Let's hurry up and finish the work. There are only a few days left, so let's hurry up and finish the work. I'll apply for a raise for everyone later!"
But there were still a few workers looking at something on their cell phones. They looked very focused.
What are they doing?
Why are they playing on their cell phones during working hours?
The young man did not hurry up and was just about to say something when he froze!
"I pick up the leaves of a palm tree.
"I place them in front of the green stone slabs.
"To pay tribute to the youth that has passed.
"And the vows that were once ignorant."
Zhang Ye?
Shanshan?
Wang He?
The young man was stunned!
…
Along the streets.
At the entrance of a food market.
Everyone stopped in their tracks and pointed at a woman holding a vegetable basket. She looked a little old and looked like she was in her thirties. But in reality, she was not that young. Under that pale and haggard face, one could still vaguely tell that she used to be beautiful!
"The wind is singing.
"Singing of the places that he has been.
"In the darkness.
"A flower blooms for you."
The vegetable basket in the woman's hands was thrown to the ground.
She held the cell phone that was playing the music video on and squatted there, crying her heart out!
"The moment you turned your head."
"A smile as beautiful as the sunset.
"It once bloomed in the spring."
…
The music video ended.
A few lines of text appeared at the end of the video.
"To our youth that will eventually pass away!"
"To our old buddies from back then!"
"Where are you all?"
"Are you … OK?"
The music video was very short, but it also felt like a long one.
Countless people finished watching it with a look of shock!
The unprofessional violin sound, the wind chimes that were played incorrectly, the melancholy voice, the dancing posture of the long dress swaying in the wind, every scene shocked them!
Zhang Xia sighed on Weibo: "How wonderful!"
Li Xiaoxian: "This is what art is."
An industry insider: "Dong Shanshan's dance sublimated the entire music video and song! That red dress was too shocking! "
A big shot in the music industry: "The person playing the violin is a host from Central TV Sports Channel, right? She's really not a professional and shouldn't have studied it for more than a few years. But why did it move me so much? Perhaps youth has always been like this. Or perhaps youth will never be that perfect! It's really an amazing music video! "
The industry reviews were very high!
The netizens' reviews were even higher!
"How awesome!"
"I cried listening to it!"
"Me too! I really can't calm down! "
"Zhang Ye, you're amazing! Dong Shanshan, you're amazing! Yu Yingyi, you're all amazing! "
"If only I were born a few years earlier! If only I were in the same class as Zhang Ye, Dong Shanshan, and the others! I really want to know what happened to them back then! "
"It's so good!"
"I cry every time I listen to it!"
"My classmates, where are they?"
"I miss them so much!"
