Picking Up Fragments in PUBG

In order to promote it effectively, Jiang Siming even started downloading the game client for "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils 2" on his computer. While waiting for the download to finish, Jiang Siming played a promotional video for "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils 2."

This promotional effort was done so well that even the staff from Sohu's online game company, who were watching the live stream, nodded in approval. Ming God's dedication and commitment to advertising were truly commendable, and for this reason, they felt they had chosen the right person.

"I just wonder how the song will be. It must match the game's style and not go off-topic," said one of the planners from "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils 2" somewhat hesitantly.

The promotional video opened with a completely Chinese ink-wash style, featuring green mountains and clear waters, ancient sword tales, and characters that were handsome and beautiful. They were all neatly dressed, exuding a chivalrous demeanor, with exquisite ancient-style clothing and dazzling weapons, whether they were swords, feather fans, or dragon staves, and so on. It looked full of immortal knight style.

This was also the most popular aspect of Chinese online games, as such cultivation-like games fulfilled Chinese players' yearning for the world of immortal knights. Just as Western online games were all about magic, they revered the magical world, while China was the hall of the mystic and immortal knight.

This promotional video was made with great sincerity, exuding an ancient style flavor. Jiang Siming set it to single loop and muted the sound. The audience was puzzled as to why he had muted the sound; after all, without the sound, half of the effect was lost. The next second, they understood why: it turned out Jiang Siming was providing his own background music. A melodious piano sound followed, filling the background of the promotional video.

Just from this opening segment, everyone felt it was better than the original dub! "This song is called 'Rivals of Destiny,'" Jiang Siming announced the song's title. Upon hearing the name, the audience wondered why it sounded so Chinese. It was just like his "Luzhou Moon."

Moreover, listening to the melody, it really had a Chinese flavor.

"Feeling that the Huaxia style is about to make a comeback!"

"The tune sounds very similar, super excited!"

"Is Ming God a new song production machine? How can he be so amazing!"

"Everyone, stop making noise, can you let me watch the promotional video and listen to the song in peace?"

"The clever me has already turned off the comments."

... The sound of the qin continued, as if right by the audience's ears, light and slow, yet particularly pleasant to the ear.

"Where will I meet you in this life, Was it destined in a past life, Flying through the distance of time and space, Yet trapped in the clash of swords and shadows..."

The melancholy song was like a pot of fierce wine, entering the throat, causing pain in the heart. Simple four lines of lyrics, yet they naturally painted a picture of a revenge-filled world in everyone's mind. Unparalleled in the world, an enemy to a single finger, isolated from the entire world.

The unparalleled strength of a world-class expert, yet no matter how powerful he is, he cannot find the ones he has lost and can only hope to meet them in the next life. But the expected next life still requires facing the world of martial arts, the clash of swords and shadows. With just these simple four lines of lyrics, the melancholy atmosphere fully invaded the listeners' hearts.

"Flowers of spring awaken in March, Over the years, who grows old, Whether it's fate or destiny is up to my heart, Nothing can invade me except you..." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Hearing these tragically beautiful and sad lyrics, everyone felt a heavy feeling in their hearts. This song seems even more sorrowful than "Luzhou Moon," filled with the atmosphere of the martial arts world, filled with love, hate, and passion. At this moment, everyone thought of the same person, also a character from "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," Qiao Feng!

Once they thought of it, everyone felt it was very fitting, Qiao Feng's unparalleled martial arts, yet he lost his beloved A Zhu. Qiao Feng's love for A Zhu has moved and brought tears to many who have read the novel or watched the TV series. Besides Ah Zhu, Qiao Feng is invincible against myriad enemies! But whether it was written for Qiao Feng, the audience could not confirm for now and could only wait until after they heard it to ask Jiang Siming.

At this moment, the Sohu online game studio was not doing anything, as everyone had gathered to listen to this song. The lead planner's emotions fluctuated greatly with the rise and fall of Jiang Siming's singing, his fists tightly clenched in excitement. Just for this prelude, he was already quite satisfied with the song.

"Keep listening, Ming God's songs are usually incredibly impressive in the chorus." No sooner had he finished speaking when the chorus filled the entire studio.

"When grievances and debts are evenly split, how can I confine them? Seeing the lanterns stained with crimson blood, avenging is too late. The door boy under the moon sighs, last night Chang'an was peaceful..."

Unlike the first two verses, everyone could increasingly see the traces of Qiao Feng in the chorus. Qiao Feng had always been on the move due to grievances, wanting to avenge his parents and his master. But in the end, he discovered that the Shaolin Temple where his mentor was had participated in the martial fight at Yumen Pass many years ago. He also discovered that his biological father was the one who killed his adoptive parents and his master, truly meaning that benefactors can also be enemies, and enemies can also be benefactors, isn't it

"When grievances and debts are evenly split"?

Especially the line "Seeing the lanterns stained with crimson blood, avenging is too late," which made the audience very willing to believe. On the journey to find the killers of his biological and adoptive parents as well as his master, too many people had already lost their lives, including his beloved Ah Zhu, and when he finally knew the truth, it was really too late! There were even listeners who had studied ancient texts and heard the meaning in the last line.

The door boy under the moon sighs, last night Chang'an was peaceful. Here, 'Chang'an' does not refer to the capital Chang'an, but means 'long-lasting peace.' The stars in the sky, shining bright, forever brilliant, long may they be peaceful! This is Qiao Feng's reminisce of his past tranquil life, his weariness with The Martial World of grievances, and even more so, his reminiscence of A'Zhu. Many martial arts enthusiasts were moved to tears, finding that the song by Jiang Siming vividly and touchingly portrayed the image of the great hero Qiao Feng in their hearts. The chorus part had not yet ended.

"When the stars in the sky revolve, my fate is already set. As the final ink dries, the old enemy has come. I borrow your loneliness, this life may find it hard to repay..."

Listen, could these lyrics be written by a game streamer? How much cultural depth must one have to write such a heart-wrenching and farewell lyric? Especially the last line, 'I borrow your loneliness, this life may find it hard to repay.' The use of the word 'borrow' is so exquisite that it sent shivers down the spines of many literary and even Chinese majors among the audience. Coupled with Jiang Siming's piano playing, the emotions intertwine and blend, both grand and tender. It was only when the entire song ended that everyone seemed to awaken from a dream, the lingering melody resonating for three months!

If every Chinese person has a Martial World dream, then this song by Jiang Siming is undoubtedly the most fitting background music for everyone's Martial World dream. This kind of scene that can only appear in novels or movies, Jiang Siming has portrayed vividly with extremely simple words.

The chorus part is no less impressive than "The Moon over Luzhou," invigorating every cell in the listener's ear. No one would have expected that a mere game background music could be written so beautifully. To be precise, in the hearts of many martial arts enthusiasts, this song is several times stronger than "The Moon over Luzhou."
