Showbiz: I Conquered Millions of Overworked Wage Slaves with “Old Boy”

Synopsis:

Qin Chuan, 28, is an engineering graduate from a top university.

Just another ordinary office worker, stuck in the misery of the nine-to-eight grind.

He transmigrates during the evening rush on the subway.

He becomes a 22-year-old, the youngest student at the Central Conservatory of Music to be enrolled in an integrated bachelor’s and doctoral program, and an all-around musical genius.

He binds a Music Dream System.

Being a doctoral student in music becomes both his big selling point and a source of skepticism.

Can a doctoral student sing?

If you’ve already studied music all the way to a doctorate, why come on a singing show?

But when Qin Chuan sings “Old Boy,” the contrast with his actual age of 22 is striking. He captures the youth that’s slipping away from grown men, the wear and tear of life, and the cruel intertwining of dreams and reality.

He goes viral across the internet.

Then come “Rakshasa Sea,” “Serve the Country with Loyal Devotion,” “Slowly, Slowly,” “Quit Smoking,” “I Remember,” “South of the Mountain”... one hit after another, captivating millions of overworked office workers.

Qin Chuan builds an extraordinary and brilliant career as a god of song, living out his dream self in a parallel world.
