Chapter 387: 383. The Final Song, A Perfect Curtain Call (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_1

The high-ups within the Qinghe Faction were bustling with impatience, and the middle managers who had the qualifications to replace them suddenly felt that the future seemed to have a glimmer of hope because once the big bosses left their current positions, it meant these positions would be vacated. For a company like Qinghe Games, which only promotes from within, this was a real opportunity for promotion.

However, Ren He decided to put this matter on hold, preferring to wait until the winter vacation when he would return to the headquarters of Qinghe Games, as Qinghe Games was going to hold a different kind of annual meeting this year!

All members of Qinghe Games knew that an annual meeting without the big boss was incomplete because the big boss was the soul of the entire Qinghe Games.

When executives like Cheng Shanshui represented Qinghe Games in discussions with other companies, people would respectfully call him Director Cheng, but to everyone’s surprise, Cheng would always seriously explain: "There’s only one ’Director’ in Qinghe Games, and none of us qualify, please don’t call me Director Cheng in the future."

This notion took shape when the internal worship of Ren He slowly began within Qinghe Games.

Everyone thought the one ’Director’ Cheng Shanshui was talking about was Xu Nuo, "Director Xu." It prompted some to wonder if Xu Nuo’s influence within Qinghe Games was really that substantial. But, in reality, their understanding of Qinghe Games was still too shallow.

During this time, Ren He was also sorting through his thoughts: he needed to seriously organize his ideas and then let these thoughts disperse like dandelion seeds, strengthening Qinghe’s faction on the internet for real.

Now Yang Xi’s album still had three songs remaining, and at this point, Ren He began to ponder how to choose the remaining tracks for Yang Xi.

Truth be told, the song "Don’t.cry" had drained a lot of emotional depth from Yang Xi. It wasn’t a song meant for a young girl to sing, but with Ren He’s harmony and the chorus part, it had been forcibly elevated.

One or two songs like this were enough; there was no need to go all out like that. After all, it was Yang Xi’s album, not Ren He’s.

So Ren He was thinking of bringing the 8th song back to pop, finding one that was suitable for Yang Xi to perform. It needed to be impactful, delivering the power to live up to this album.

So, which female pop music artists in North American history have had their time of sweeping the globe, yet would also suit Yang Xi?

Ren He’s eyes suddenly lit up as he thought of one!

She was the 17th most influential Canadian, and she was someone who had won the Best Female Artist award so many times she could barely hold them all.

Avril! Her songs were more than suitable for Yang Xi to perform!

Among Avril’s songs, "Complicated," which mocks the intricacies of human relationships, had ranked second on the North American top 100 charts and had taken first place in Ireland, Canada, France, and Switzerland, and it also won the Juno Award for "Single of the Year."

This song alone was worthy of inclusion on Yang Xi’s album; plus, it was much simpler to record than "Don’t.cry"...

What about the last two songs? The world was truly looking forward to these final three tracks, and in fact, Ren He was somewhat looking forward to them as well.

Bringing some of the most iconic songs to this world would also give a strange sense of achievement, so Ren He was a bit hesitant. What kind of song could live up to this album?

Just as music critics have said, now the evaluation of Knight and Yang Xi can no longer rely on the analysis of a single song. To truly judge, one must consider the entire album as a whole.

Ren He made his choice for the 9th song: "Hey Jude"!

This song’s status in the entire history of English songs was incredibly high. It stayed at the number one position on America’s Billboard chart for 9 weeks, and its global sales exceeded 8 million copies.

Initially written to comfort a boy with divorced parents, the song’s influence grew, becoming an anthem celebrating independence and rebellion, even called another national anthem of Czech during the Czech war.

"Hey Jude," with its simple and popular lyrics yet rich connotations, easily broke through the cultural barriers between the UK and the USA, while also sparking wildly different imaginations between the two cultures.

This is why it topped the North American charts and stayed at number one for nine weeks, while "tell.me.why" couldn’t do the same; the former’s quality was far superior. Even domestic stars like Sun Yanzi had covered it.

Ren He wasn’t concerned with anti-war sentiments, as to him, the song was sufficient if it could encourage people to face life with strength.

And its recording was very simple too, with just a piano accompaniment being completely adequate. Yang Xi’s emotional delivery could handle it.

So Ren He’s plan for that evening was to record these two songs.

By this time, he had used up all his exemptions, and the last song not only signified the completion of the album but also meant that he had to start accepting missions.

Since all the exemptions were used up, maybe the Divine Punishment System would stop causing trouble, right?

At this point, Ren He had only three Perfect Level rewards left in his hand.

That evening, after Ren He and Yang Xi released the two songs they had recorded, it was no surprise that both songs once again climbed into the top ten of the charts.

But unexpectedly, "tell.me.why" and "fuck.you" also made it into the top ten of the charts!
