PS Chapter 81 – The Power of In Spring

Tick-Tock!

Just after dinner, Chen Jian sat down in front of the computer as usual. He skillfully opened the small blue tag in the browser collection column and linked it into the website.

Chen Jian is a middle-age man salaried worker. He has a gentle and kind wife and a lively and lovely daughter. At the same time, he is also burdened with heavy mortgage and family responsibilities.

So, he quit smoking and playing games, reduced the number of times he went out with his friends, saved money, and saved most of his spare time in a small study, surfing the Internet and watching news, novels, movies and videos.

Youshi.com is the earliest and largest video website in China, claiming to have hundreds of millions of registered members. Chen Jian likes to watch a variety of rich and colorful video programs on it.

Because they’re all free.

Chen Jian has already scroll down twice and he still has not found the content he likes. Suddenly, a small pop-up window popped up and arbitrarily intrudes into his line of sight.

“There are more and more advertisements on Youshi.”

Chen Jian muttered discontentedly. Of course, he had become accustomed to the “discriminatory” treatment of being a free member, and accepted to open the pop-up video because clicking on an ad could increase his points and he could exchange it for a full membership.

Pop-up video instantly extended to the entire screen, and the picture is quite clear.

The first thing Chen Jian saw was the scene of a bustling metropolis. He could easily tell that it was the capital.

Then the camera swoops down at high speed and enters an underground pedestrian passage.

The spacious underpass was clean and tidy. People very busily come and go. The men and women in the city are jostling their shoulders, and their footsteps are as fast as the rhythm of the city.

On the side of the underpass, surrounded by yellow lines, many street artists are performing magic, dancing and singing, hoping that their performances can stop the footsteps of the pedestrians.

The camera moved forward and ended up in a street band.

A middle-aged singer with a guitar stood in front of the microphone, his eyes showing a touch of vicissitudes, as if recollecting something.

The drummer, keyboarder, bassist and guitarist were leaning against the wall, looking like a solidified sculpture.

After a while, the noise in the underground passage gradually disappeared, and the prelude to the music began to play.

The band seemed to wake up from a deep sleep.

Then they started singing!

“Remember the spring many years ago,
At that time, I haven’t cut my long hair short.
Without credit cards without her
No home with 24-hour hot water.

But then I was so happy,
Although with only a broken guitar,
In the streets, under the bridges, in the fields,
Singing song that nobody cares!

……”

When the slightly hoarse voice sounded out from the speaker worth more than 100 yuan and passed to Chen Jian’s ear, his hand holding the mouse suddenly became incomparably stiff, and his index finger that was on the left key couldn’t be pressed down.

Originally, he was going to click the close button.

The song seemed to be like a bolt of lightning, suddenly breaking the defense in his heart, making the long-repressed feeling in the bottom of his heart, and the feelings that had longed disappeared suddenly burst out!

“……

If one day,
I’m old and helpless,
Please leave me here,
At that time!

If one day,
I leave quietly.
Please bury me in,
In the spring!

……”

Countless memories emerge in his mind, once young and frivolous, once full of vigor and vitality, but now Chen Jian does not have the impulse and passion of the past. His life is calm and peaceful now.

He cherished his present life very much. And even though he is tired, he is happy, but he always felt that there was something missing and he didn’t know what it is.

Until he heard this song.

Chen Jian had not shed tears since he was 10 years old, but at this moment he has an impulse to shed tears!

It wasn’t a long MV, and he didn’t press the mouse.

Just at this moment, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and a little head with a little braid came in. Her big black eyes looked curiously at Chen Jian, who looked infatuated.

After biting her finger, the little girl turned her head and shouted, “Mom, Dad’s crying!”

“Little girl, don’t scream!”

Chen Jian seemed like he just woke up from a dream, and almost fell down from his chair. He hurriedly let go of the mouse, raise his hand and wipe the corner of his eyes.

It’s really a little wet!

The sound of footsteps that was coming closer was heard. Chen Jian’s wife appeared at the door of the study and asked, “What’s the matter?”

The little girl said with great certainty, “I saw father crying!”

Chen Jian became angry out of shame, “When did you see me crying? Your father just dropped eyedrops in his eyes. I was not crying!”

The wife smiled. She leaned over and picked up the little girl and closed the door. “Let’s not disturb Dad…”

Chen Jian breathed a sigh of relief, and his attention returned to the screen.

The screen is fixed at the last frame.

It showed the song and the singer’s name – “In Spring” / Wandering Band.

Chen Jian calmed down and opened the video’s website link with his mouse, and logged in to the comment area.

He wanted to say something, and if he doesn’t, he’s afraid he’ll lose sleep at night.

The video entitled “New Power of Rock and Roll, Wandering in Spring” already has a lively commentary area.

The number of comments was up to 50000+!

In addition to VIP members, video advertising is the most important profit point of Youshi. Based on the large number of registered users, the cost of buying homepage pop-up windows is very high.

Originally, the customers of the pop-up windows on the homepage were basically product advertisers. Later, because the website users were very disgusted, coupled with the rise of the entertainment industry, the content of the pop-up window has been changed to pop music, film and television announcements, variety publicity and so on.

Many famous singers launch new songs. They often buy a few days of pop-up windows on the front page of Youshi. The publicity effect is quite good, and can attract a lot of attention.

For thousands of visitors of Youshi, the Wandering Band is a completely unfamiliar band, but that doesn’t stop them from loving the song “In Spring”.

“A genuinely good song!”

“I’ve downloaded and saved it. You have to listen to it at least 10 times.”

“A very wonderful song, a rare light rock masterpiece in recent years!”

“It’s well written and sung very well. Who knows if the Wandering Band has other works?”

“It’s a new band, isn’t it? I didn’t find anything about them on the Internet.”

“I’m so moved. It reflects the vicissitudes of life. I felt like crying after listening to it. What should I do?”

“Is the poster above too sensitive? Although this song is really good!”

“From now on, I am the Wandering Band’s meal!” (TN: Being a meal for artists. This was explained last chapter.)

“This is the first time that I completely watched a pop-up window on the front page of the Youshi…”

“It’s my first time, too!”

“……”

One of the registered members, “Dream of Chang’an”, wrote in the comment post:

If life has not experienced suffering, then it will never be able to appreciate the happiness of life itself. Suffering is a part of happiness in life, and happiness is a sublimation of suffering. When you look back on the past, why don’t you cry?

Recalling those suffering but is most worthy of remembering during our youth, we will never have time to say goodbye to them. There are always feeling and recollection about them in our hearts. But sadness does not mean depression. We sigh to the common suffering of life in the past, but we should know how to cherish the beauty and happiness of the present.

I think that’s what this song “In Spring” is trying to tell us!

Thank you Wandering Band. This song has touched me and made me hear a really good song.

In this flashy and noisy world, such good songs are really too few.

The post of “Dream of Chang’an” was marked by the administrator and received 300000+ like!

“Dream of Chang’an” is Chen Jian.

The first single of the wandering band of Light Rain Media, “In Spring”, was released on Youshi. The number of clicks that night exceeded 5,000,000, with 100,000+ comments and 92.85% of viewers praising it.

Such data is undoubtedly the beginning of the craze!

Following that, “In Spring” launched an MV and original sound works simultaneously in tomato network, Feixun music, Internet music, popular radio and other network media, which aroused wide and warm attention.

Starting on June 11 and ending on June 15, a total of five days.

“In Spring” had a viewed count of more than hundred million on Youshi!

The charm of a classic song, can withstand the test of any time and space, and will never be buried.

“In Spring” has this power.

As long as there is a proper opportunity, it is bound to shine with dazzling brilliance!
