Chapter 163 Another Cooperation with the Central Bank

While Xiao Qingfeng was busy promoting "Chinese Paladin", he received a call from Zhang Yu, the chief director of "The Imperial City".

On the same day, at Wen Yanbo's recommendation, Xiao Qingfeng composed the theme song "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales" for the large-scale documentary "Imperial City", which immediately became a phenomenal hit upon its release.

This also propelled the niche documentary "Imperial City" to become one of the most popular programs, with its ratings repeatedly breaking records within the station.

As the theme song for this documentary, "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales" has garnered over a billion views in just two months, demonstrating its immense popularity.

Upon seeing the caller ID, Xiao Qingfeng immediately answered the phone.

The director Zhang Yu's enthusiastic voice came from the other end of the phone: "Teacher Xiao, long time no see! What have you been up to lately?"

Xiao Qingfeng replied with a smile, "Director Zhang, I've been busy promoting 'Chinese Paladin.' How have you been lately?"

Zhang Yu laughed heartily, "I'm quite busy too, but it's worth it. Your song 'Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth' really added a lot to our documentary 'Imperial City'."

Xiao Qingfeng humbly replied, "Director Zhang, you flatter me. It is my honor to compose the theme song for such an excellent documentary."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Zhang Yu got down to business: "Teacher Xiao, it's like this, the theme song you wrote for us before was so well received. Now that the documentary is almost over, we'd like to ask you to write an end credits song. What do you think?"

Xiao Qingfeng agreed without hesitation: "No problem, I'd be happy to create another work for 'The Imperial City'."

Zhang Yu then said, "Teacher Xiao, I have an idea. You see, you're promoting 'Chinese Paladin' right now, right? I can apply to CCTV to see if we can premiere 'Chinese Paladin' on CCTV-8."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingfeng was naturally delighted: "That's great, Director Zhang. If it can premiere on CCTV-8, it would be an excellent opportunity for 'Chinese Paladin'."

The two quickly ended the call on good terms. Xiao Qingfeng knew that it was of great significance for a TV series to premiere on CCTV-8.

For "Chinese Paladin", premiering on CCTV-8 means it will gain extremely high attention and exposure.

As one of the most influential media platforms, CCTV will give "Chinese Paladin" the opportunity to reach a wider audience and attract attention from people of different ages and regions.

When netizens saw the song information, they became excited again.

On the surface, Xiao Qingfeng was busy promoting the TV series, but unbeknownst to many, he was secretly collaborating with state media to unleash a major move.

Soon after the latest episode of the documentary "Imperial City" ended, netizens saw the music video for "Light".

"bright"

Lyrics by: Xiao Qingfeng

Composer: Xiao Qingfeng

Singer (MV Director): Xiao Qingfeng

The music video for "Light" opens with a scene of an ancient imperial city standing quietly in the morning light.

The sunlight gradually falls on the red walls and yellow tiles, as if telling the story of history's vicissitudes and glory.

Xiao Qingfeng's magnetic voice rang out, like a ray of warm sunshine piercing through the clouds.

A breeze blew across the sea.

White clouds surge towards the land.

The monsoon carries away the sand.

The alternation of cold and warmth in the four seasons

As the lyrics progress, the music video transitions to scenes of the imperial city in all four seasons.

In spring, flowers bloom beneath the palace walls, their pink petals drifting down in the wind.

In summer, the trees provide ample shade, and sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled patterns of light.

In autumn, golden ginkgo leaves carpet the ground like a golden rug.

In winter, snowflakes fall in abundance, covering the entire imperial city in a blanket of white.

So many vibrant lives

There are signs of wilting.

It was a sudden storm that struck while I was running.

It is like a match lighting up the darkness.

The scene depicts figures who once lived in the imperial city, some busy working, others lost in thought.

Suddenly, a storm struck, and people ran and hid in the wind and rain, but their eyes shone with a determined light.

Then, a match was lit in the darkness, and the faint flame flickered in the wind, bringing hope.

Perhaps you cannot fathom the unknown destiny.

Like a shooting star, it flies without knowing its destination.

In the music video, a shooting star streaks across the night sky, illuminating a corner of the imperial city.

The scene shifts again, showcasing the tranquility and mystery of the imperial city at night.

The moonlight shone on the palace rooftops, as if draping the entire imperial city in a silver veil.

But I still choose to believe it.

【You, the smallest, the weakest, the softest, and the most fearless】

[I gave it my all and tried my best to respond.]

No matter how boundless, endless, or unsolvable, there is always a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, the story of some ordinary people appears on the screen. They face various difficulties and challenges in their lives, but they never give up and respond to the challenges of fate with their own efforts and perseverance.

Although their figures are small, their courage and perseverance are truly moving.

As the song reached its climax, the visuals became even more intense.

Illuminate Yourself

Traditional opera sings of joy and sorrow.

[After singing of partings and reunions, joys and sorrows]

[Take it off when the curtain falls]

In the music video, a wonderful opera performance is taking place in the imperial city, with actors dressed in gorgeous costumes performing to their hearts' content on stage.

Their every smile, every gesture, is full of emotion and power.

After the opera performance, the actors removed their masks, revealing their true faces, their eyes filled with love for life and anticipation for the future.

Do not listen to the sound of rain pattering through the trees.

Let life unfold as it may, like a straw raincoat in the misty rain.

[A final reunion in Changyin Pavilion]

A single grain of millet every six hundred years

A Dream Across the Vast Ocean

At the end of the scene, Xiao Qingfeng stands atop a high point in the imperial city, overlooking the entire city. Sunlight shines upon him, and his eyes are filled with determination and confidence.

As the music faded, the music video also came to a slow close.

The song and music video "Light" deeply touched the hearts of the audience with their moving melody, profound lyrics, and exquisite visuals.

It not only showcases the beauty and historical heritage of the imperial city, but also conveys a positive, upward-looking, and courageous spirit.

Xiao Qingfeng once again proved his superstar status with his talent, and being able to sing both the theme song and the ending theme song in the same program is a unique achievement in the history of CCTV.

Netizens also sensed something different from this collaboration: CCTV has high hopes for Xiao Qingfeng.
