Chapter 181 A World of Cultural Discontinuity (3)
To Wangyou's surprise, the person who came to sign the contract was actually a heavyweight figure in the art world.
Wangyou had seen this old man on TV; several of the animated films she liked to watch were made by him.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou!"
Hello, little friend.
Neither side wasted any time. Mr. Zhou quickly produced a contract, and Ms. Fu smiled and handed it to the lawyer next to her for review. After reviewing it, she found no problems. Ms. Fu also read it herself and found that the contract was completely without fault, and the copyright still belonged to Wangyou.
"Mom, I don't want this share. I already said I'd give it to the country for free. I hope that one day in the future, everyone can learn this song, especially children like me," Wangyou said earnestly.
"Young lady, you're very kind, but we can't take advantage of you!" Old Zhou smiled kindly.
“No, I didn’t write this song. I dreamt about it. I dreamt that a gentleman dedicated this song to the country, so I can’t accept it.” Wangyou felt ashamed to accept it. “If you feel bad about it, please help me find out more about Xu Ran.”
"Did he sing this song?" Old Zhou asked, his expression slightly serious in response to the many questions.
"Mr. Zhou, it was me who sang it. I am very grateful that when I was in my most desperate moment, it was Wangyou and little Lin Duoduo who gave me the hope to live."
"This child has clear, honest eyes; he doesn't seem like the type to do those kinds of things. Go back and investigate him thoroughly!"
"Yes, Elder Zhou!"
"Young lady, I really have no other requests. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"That's all." Wangyou shook her head. Old Zhou then asked the other two, and they also said that it was fine as it was. So Old Zhou stopped trying to persuade them and just became more gentle with the children.
After seeing off Mr. Zhou and his entourage, Xu Ran was also invited to sing the lead role in this song, but that would have to wait until everything was cleared up.
As for what Wangyou said about dreaming about it, no one took it seriously.
"My son and daughter are wonderful!"
"Mom, is the hospital still very busy lately? You and Dad haven't spent much time with us in a long time," Wangyou said, tugging at Ms. Fu's sleeve with a slightly aggrieved expression.
"Mom also wants to spend more time with my two darlings, but there are so many patients waiting for treatment at the hospital. Mom believes that you and your brother can take good care of yourselves, right?" Ms. Fu said helplessly. She is one of the hospital's leading experts and is very busy every day.
“Mom, if you and Dad don’t come back for several days, we’ll almost forget what you look like.” Lin Duoduo chimed in. Although he felt it was great to have his little sister with him, he couldn’t say that, or he’d get a beating.
"Mom will try to come home and spend more time with you." Ms. Fu smiled, had dinner with her two children, and was hurriedly called away by phone again the next morning.
As expected, the two children didn't see their elderly mother when they woke up, which they were used to. After eating breakfast with the help of the nanny robot, they went to school with their backpacks on.
Many seemingly trivial matters, if investigated diligently, are quickly uncovered. The national television station is currently...
The song was to be sung by Xu Ran, who was preparing for its official broadcast on national television.
"Duobao, I have a difficult task for you!"
"Host, what mission? I'm finally useful!" Duobao jumped for joy.
"Heaven wants us to help spread history and culture. I want you to create an account specifically for posting the five thousand years of Chinese history, starting from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Anyway, the development of this world is similar to the development of my world."
"Don't worry, host, I will do my best."
"Yes, well done. When I leave this world, I'll give you more merit."
"The host is the best!" Duobao rolled around happily. "I'll do it right away."
"Go ahead, you can send us the videos we filmed in different dimensions, depending on the situation."
"Alright, host, I'm off to get busy!" Duobao excitedly went to create an account.
With the permission granted to Wangyou, Duobao quickly created a video account on Kuaishou, named "Panda Cub's Playful World".
The system is still a high-tech product in this spacetime, so it is impossible to be discovered. Moreover, it can control the streaming itself, directly uploading the edited video and placing it at the top of the page.
The kind of backstage staff that you can't get rid of no matter what.
"Legend has it that Pangu separated heaven and earth..." Anyone who accidentally clicked into this video suddenly found themselves unable to leave, and actually listened attentively to that absurd and bizarre history.
At first, people just thought it was a myth made up by someone. The video was short, only about ten minutes long, so few people believed it was Chinese history. But because the production and editing were good, people just listened to it for fun.
Duobao realized this wouldn't do; he needed to give them something truly amazing. So, after much thought, Duobao created a short film titled "Five Thousand Years of Chinese History." He also applied for a patent for the song "Five Thousand Years of Chinese History" and registered it under Wangyou's name before uploading the entire video.
The video starts with Pangu creating the world, then moves on to Nuwa creating humans, then to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and finally to the present day.
The video is short, only a dozen minutes long, but it gets viewers excited and the song "Five Thousand Years of Chinese History" has become popular without them even realizing it.
Do you think this video is true? Does China really have a 5,000-year history?
I don't know if it's true or not, but this song is really addictive! I feel restless if I don't hum a few lines now!
Seriously, I've listened to it on repeat so many times without even realizing it; it's even more addictive than "The Young Man's Talk."
[A literary giant has finally emerged in China.]
[What five thousand years? I think it's just a gimmick. As everyone knows, China only has a three-hundred-year history.]
[I've already reported the person upstairs who was sent by which country.]
……
The internet was abuzz with discussion. When Wangyou found out, she quietly carved another wooden sculpture and placed it next to Mr. Zhang's sculpture. From then on, whenever she used a song by a particular artist, Wangyou would carve a new wooden sculpture. Fortunately, she had a photographic memory and an excellent ear for remembering things, otherwise she might not have been able to match the names.
When this world ends, the merit she received will be passed on to those people through the wood carving, which can be considered as her reward for plagiarizing the song!
After going through many twists and turns, the national television station eventually found Wangyou's side, because they couldn't find out who released the video, but they could find out who owned the patent.
So, Wangyou donated it to the country again for free. As for who posted the video, Wangyou didn't know anything, and no one suspected anything, since she was just a child who was a few years old.
Before she knew it, Wangyou was about to graduate from elementary school. Suddenly, she remembered a very nice song called "Riding the Waves," which was very suitable for children and also for Wangyou's current identity.
Unsurprisingly, the song "Forget Worries" was recorded by many people. Once released, the song became a hit across the internet, especially among elementary and middle school students.
When Wangyou and her friends graduated, they danced to this song.
During Wangyou's primary school years, Duobao didn't slack off at all. He updated the history of China's five thousand years of history every day. Over time, he gained more and more fans, and even official accounts continued to follow him. Since they couldn't find the person who posted the video, they could only study the authenticity of the video content.
