Chapter 59 (059) Related to "Hibernation"...
Chapter 59
Zhang Xiaoyue's fans were incredulously delisted from the monthly rankings. They rubbed their eyes again and solemnly reopened the app—
It's Lin Yuan again! He's like a persistent ghost!
Why did he have to get entangled with Zhang Xiaoyue?
Before Zhang Xiaoyue released her new song, no one had heard that Lin Yuan had any plans to release a new song!
What left Zhang Xiaoyue's fans speechless was that Lin Yuan's own Weibo page didn't post any promotional links for "Hibernation," nor did his studio, as if he didn't care about the new song at all.
Even so, "Hibernation" still surpassed Zhang Xiaoyue's new song on the monthly chart.
"Was Lin Yuan doing this on purpose? Is he intentionally targeting Xiaoyue?"
"Doing this once, and again and again, are you trying to climb to the top by stepping on Wink?"
Zhang Xiaoyue's fans angrily went to find evidence, only to discover that "Hibernation" was released a few days earlier than Zhang Xiaoyue's new song "Kiss Goodnight," but it was not promoted at all.
The reason why it suddenly surpassed Zhang Xiaoyue on the monthly chart is because the popularity of "Hibernation" suddenly increased.
It was as if overnight, "Hibernation" was suddenly discovered by many people.
If "Hibernation" was released earlier, it would prove that Lin Yuan did not intentionally target Zhang Xiaoyue, unless he could foresee reality and would release a new song before Zhang Xiaoyue.
Zhang Xiaoyue's fans quickly found a new reason—
"Isn't this trajectory of popularity highly unusual?"
"+1, suddenly rising so many positions, anyone can see that something is wrong."
"Hilarious! I just clicked on it and listened to the song 'Hibernation,' and guess what I found?"
"?"
"Hibernation" is a song with lyrics and music written by Lin Yuan himself. I feel that the press release for the 'genius' creative idol will be released soon.
"Laughable. A genius? Lin Yuan doesn't even deserve that title!"
"I guess he just used his reputation as a lyricist and composer to fool a bunch of fans into listening to it, right? Otherwise, how do you explain why 'Hibernation' ranked higher than 'Goodnight Kiss'? Now I understand, Lin Yuan is too embarrassed to post the link on his own Weibo. It's probably because his lyrics and music are so bad that writing lyrics and music themselves are not important. What's important is that he has to have this persona."
Lin Yuan, upon seeing the comment: "..."
Aside from being absurd, he really has nothing to say.
Since he didn't even post a Weibo link, how could he deceive people by claiming to be a lyricist and composer? Before Zhang Xiaoyue's fans typed out this long string of words, could they please check where the logic is?
In short, Lin Yuan was defeated.
In fact, the reason Lin Yuan didn't post a link was because it was his first attempt. He was just trying it out and hoped that if someone was willing to listen to it, that would be enough. Lin Yuan didn't intend to create the image of a singer-songwriter.
Lin Yuan hopes that people will like this song "Hibernation," just for the sake of liking it, rather than having the song gain any special recognition because of Lin Yuan's name.
Initially, not many people listened to "Hibernation".
Lin Yuan only received a few scattered comments, and some fans came from the neighboring "Hot" magazine, saying that they habitually clicked on the artist section and found "Hibernation".
"It sounds beautiful!! It's like a song that's sung during the winter or spring season!"
"The melody is so catchy, I've listened to it ten times without even realizing it."
And so, the number of people who had "listened" to "Hibernation" continued to rise. One day, Tian Yi came to Lin Yuan with screenshots: "How did you secretly write such a good song?"
Lin Yuan: "...What do you mean by sneaking around? I'm perfectly aboveboard, okay?"
"When you asked about the arrangement, I thought it was a different song."
After listening to "Hibernation," Tian Yi realized that the song was actually written by Lin Yuan himself.
It sounded so good... beyond his expectations.
The melody of "Hibernation" is very simple and easy to sing, yet it doesn't feel like a catchy pop song. Lin Yuan's voice matches the melody perfectly, like the ground after the snow melts, giving a feeling of vitality.
It was actually written by Lin Yuan himself.
By the time Tian Yi had heard of it, the popularity of "Hibernation" had naturally spread.
Objectively speaking, there haven't been any good new songs lately, but that also means that once a song is categorized as "good" by listeners, it will become an unstoppable trend.
The surge in viewership for "Hibernation" even exceeded Lin Yuan's own expectations.
Tian Yi recommended this song on his Weibo homepage.
Gradually, music critics and music bloggers started recommending it, including Lin Yuan's "Rest" which they recommended before.
Coincidentally, during the period when the number of views for "Hibernation" began to rise, the first snow fell in various places. A winter song is naturally most suitable to be listened to in winter.
Of course, the main reason is simply because the song is good enough.
"Hibernation" experienced a sudden surge in popularity.
Originally, this song didn't even make it onto the monthly charts, but suddenly it surpassed Zhang Xiaoyue's "Kiss Goodnight" and took the top spot on the monthly charts.
Video platforms are starting to see more and more clips featuring this song.
Although it cannot be confirmed at present, many people believe that "Hibernation" has the potential to become a hit song.
【Hibernation – A refreshing winter song.】
[After "Hot," Lin Yuan released a new song a year later. Judging by the standards of the song itself, "Hibernation" is already a qualified work. Lin Yuan's voice reminds me of many winter images, all related to nature. In performing this song, Lin Yuan did not use too many techniques. Of course, "Hibernation" is not a song that requires much technique.]
But I never imagined that "Hibernation" was actually composed by Lin Yuan himself. As the composer, his understanding of the song imbued it with even more charm...
[I don't need to describe it too much; for the listener, "Hibernation" is simply beautiful enough.]
...
"Hibernation" soared to the top of the monthly charts, but Zhang Xiaoyue's fans still wanted to give it their all. No matter what, they wanted to give Zhang Xiaoyue more confidence. The ranking of "Kiss Goodnight" was more important than ever before, and they didn't want to let Zhang Xiaoyue down.
Many fans who had already stopped buying started buying even more again in response to this situation.
But just like when they encountered Lin Yuan last time, the harder the fans tried, the bigger the gap became between them and the top of the monthly ranking.
Finally, some netizens couldn't stand it anymore: "Although singles costing 3 yuan each are cheap, is it really necessary to buy so many? The platform is happy, the singer gets paid, but isn't the fans' money just wasted?"
"What's the difference between this and harvesting leeks?"
This netizen was attacked: "What do you know? Do you know how long it has been since Xiaoyue made any public appearances? We just wanted to encourage him to make more records."
Netizen: "..."
Ultimately, the blame fell on Lin Yuan because Zhang Xiaoyue's fans claimed—
"We didn't have to work so hard to buy them. It's all Lin Yuan's fault for taking first place on the monthly list. If he hadn't competed with Xiao Yue, things would have been much better."
Lin Yuan: "…………"
He couldn't refute it.
The logic is flawless.
...
Regardless, "Hibernation" has indeed become a hit. Although it has been less than a month since its release, "Hibernation" has already entered the top ten of the annual total viewership chart on the "Mango" platform, and its momentum is still rising.
Although its viewership cannot yet compare with "Hot", in terms of its upward trend, "Hibernation" is in no way inferior to "Hot".
Although Lin Yuan did not deliberately market his identity as a creator, everyone knows that he wrote the lyrics and composed the music for "Hibernation".
"It reminded me of 'Stars of Tomorrow' again."
"Back when they were working on 'The Road to Stardom,' didn't Ji Xiaming and Zhang Xiaoyue both say they would stick to creating? After joining Wink, they forgot their original intentions."
"Sigh, although not joining Wink is nothing to Lin Yuan now, it doesn't mean that the tears he shed on his debut night were fake, nor does it mean that the regret he felt back then was fake."
Sangzi noticed that He Xun's Weibo account had been updated again.
Because of Lin Yuan, she also followed He Xun's Weibo account—she always felt that He Xun would inexplicably post things related to Lin Yuan.
As it turned out, she was right.
He Xun's homepage actually uploaded a new video. The two of them performed a skit. The main content was that, under He Xun's coercion, Lin Yuan performed a skit called "Hibernation" on the spot.
The kind that involves dancing!
Sangzi was absolutely shocked!
Although Lin Yuan's dance moves were very simple—just wiggling his hips left and right, accompanied by gymnastic-style arm movements—
It's an absolutely perfect match with "Hibernation"!
Absolutely adorable!!
Perhaps because he lost the bet, Lin Yuan sang "Hibernation" in a distorted and off-key manner. He didn't sing off-key, but he dragged out the ending notes in various ways, making each verse seem incredibly long. His sticky and cloying tone only amplified the cheerfulness of "Hibernation".
Sangzi really wants to hear "Hibernation" live right now; she wants to see a super lively and cheerful Lin Yuan!!
...
The popularity of "Hibernation" has skyrocketed, and the happiest person is undoubtedly Leting Video.
As per the agreement between Lin Yuan and the platform, Lin Yuan will sing "Hot" and a new song at this year's New Year's Eve concert. When the agreement was finalized, Leting Video was already mentally prepared for Lin Yuan's new song to be a flop.
After all, Lin Yuan would rather reduce his appearance fee than not sing.
As a result, "Hibernation" has now become one of the most popular songs in the second half of this year.
This song has never been performed in public before, and its premiere was on Leting Video. It's easy to imagine how much attention Leting Video will receive as a result.
LeTing Video quickly followed up by announcing this year's guest list.
This is a declaration of ownership to the whole world—Lin Yuan is the only one of his kind on Leting Video, there are no other branches.
The platform sincerely felt that they were lucky. When they invited Lin Yuan, he had not yet won the Golden Wing Award, and the song "Hibernation" did not even exist. In the blink of an eye, Lin Yuan's fame soared, and "Hibernation" became a hot topic.
There are relatively few big-name guests participating in the Leting Video Gala. Among the platform's existing lineup, Lin Yuan is already someone who has both high popularity and a good reputation.
"Live!! There really is a live performance of 'Hibernation'!"
"Aww! 'Heat' and 'Hibernation,' two songs whose titles are exactly the opposite of their actual meanings!"
"I can't wait!!! It's been so long since Lin Yuan performed live, do you know how I've been spending these days?!!"
Sang Zi had carefully planned out the day's schedule; she had no other plans, only to wholeheartedly await the performance of "Hibernation".
On this day, four platforms held New Year's Eve galas simultaneously. Sangzi decided to only watch Leting Video. As for the lineups invited by the other platforms, Sangzi didn't care much.
However, shortly after Leting Video officially announced its lineup, Xingyao Video also released its guest list for this year's New Year's Eve gala.
Among the guests were all members of Wink.
