10 seconds passed in a flash, and at this time, those friends who had already pre-ordered the album could not wait to open their own moonlight accounts.
The same was true for the four of them.
"No, why is Moonlight stuck?" Tang Yue refreshed the page several times, but who knew that it would actually stop there and not move, which made Tang Yue very helpless.
"It's not stuck," Wang Xingrui sighed, "There are simply too many people listening to his music at the same time! Brother Bei's popularity is truly incredible!"
"I see," Tang Yue bit her lip, revealing a look of sudden enlightenment. "Was it also like this when we released our previous album?"
"Yeah, that's true." Wang Xingrui smiled. "Anyway, I heard from fans that they usually wait a while before listening to the music. Because Moonlight can't be opened at the first time."
"I've got it here," Su Yin said excitedly, raising her hand. She then called everyone to come over to her: "Wow, Brother Bei's album cover is so artistic!"
As everyone guessed, the name of this new album is "Me".
The cover of this album is full of artistic atmosphere.
Helian Bei's profile, which seemed to be favored by the god of time, not only did not look old with age, but became more mature.
However, this handsome profile is only half.
To be precise, the entire cover is divided into two parts from the middle.
On the left is Helian Bei's straight nose and handsome profile against the white background.
However, on the right, the entire background turned black.
At the back of Helian Bei's head, there was a baby curled up with its entire body red.
It can be said that this cover picture is a bit scary when you look closely.
However, most people who buy albums would not study the cover as carefully as these four people did, but would go straight to listen to the songs.
"I actually quite like this cover," Lin Xuan'er stared at it for a long time. "It's really unique. And this split-in-two concept, which continues from the light show to here, is really touching."
"Let's listen to the song quickly!" urged Tang Yue, the most timid one. For her, it seemed that if she looked at the cover for one more moment, she would be so scared that she couldn't sleep.
The other three smiled knowingly, but still listened to Tang Yue and quickly skipped the cover image.
What appeared in front of them at this time was not a playlist.
It can be said that Zhou Yiyang put a lot of effort into preparing this album, even changing the basic design.
When they clicked on the cover, a line of small words appeared.
If you look closely, you will find that this line of words should be handwritten.
It should be obvious who wrote it. It must be Helian Bei himself.
The small print is very simple:
"If a person has two faces, then the other side of me must be the paranoid side."
“Does it matter who the real me is?”
When the small words appeared and disappeared automatically, the first half of the album appeared in front of them.
[Paranoid side].
The new album cover appeared, still featuring Helian Bei.
But this time, Helian Bei no longer showed just a face. He wore a big red nose, a tuxedo, stood on the piano, and bowed.
"Is this a clown?" Tang Yue asked in surprise, "Brother Bei's camera skills are amazing!"
"He glanced at us as he bowed," Lin Xuan'er said, her scalp tingling as she gazed at the cover. "That look was terrifying."
"Paranoid side, does it mean split?" Wang Xingrui was stunned, but she suddenly felt that it was really interesting to design the album as a whole and give it a brand new concept.
"A clown standing on a piano," Su Yin repeated softly, then laughed. "What a unique design! I can't wait to hear the first half of the album."
The four of them clicked on the cover reluctantly, and the familiar playlist interface finally appeared in front of them.
But there are only six songs in the playlist.
"Wait," Lin Xuan'er had actually guessed Zhou Yiyang would be particularly bold when making this album after seeing the cover and the back design. But she hadn't expected him to be so bold.
"Brother Yang, don't you mean that I can only listen to these six songs before I can listen to the rest?"
Lin Xuaner's concerns are not an isolated case. In fact, many netizens were stunned by the entire design after opening this album called "Me".
This is a form they have never been exposed to before.
After the novelty wore off, they saw the playlist.
However, when they discovered there were only six songs, they felt something was wrong.
This topic was particularly hotly discussed on the Qianqian Jingting music enthusiast forum.
[Forcing everyone to listen to the song, is Zhou Yiyang getting carried away?]
Within two minutes of posting this thread, there were already over 100 replies, which is quite an exaggeration for such a small forum.
The person with the most popular comment is the moderator of this section, who is also a music critic.
"You're stupid! Are the people on this forum not aware of the importance of an album as a whole? The order in which the album's tracks are arranged is actually the order the creators want you to listen to them! It's just that many people only like to listen to the hits!"
"I think Zhou Yiyang's approach is bold but very courageous. It's time to improve the public's musical aesthetic through this approach."
“Some people only listen to the popular TikTok songs from each album, but they don’t realize there are many golden songs hidden in the album!”
After replying, someone took out a screenshot and said:
"In actual testing, once you've listened to six songs, the next step is the second half of the playlist. After listening to the next six songs, the playlist returns to normal. In other words, except for the first time, you are free to listen to any song you want!"
…
Outside the forum, Zhou Yiyang looked at Helian Bei beside him and whispered, "Look, besides the two of us, many people have put on their headphones. They must be listening to your songs!"
"I won't listen." Helian Bei smiled and said, "Boss Zhou, did many people criticize our album design this time?"
"Not much at all, in fact, a lot of people praised it." Zhou Yiyang raised an eyebrow. "Everyone likes novelty. And some professionals have defined listening to music this way as a sign of aesthetic taste, so even more people are following the trend. It's just like how everyone listens to the fashion world and pursues a sense of luxury."
"Brother Yang, you are so awesome. Is this also part of your marketing?" Helian Bei said in surprise.
"That's not the case. The original intention of my design was, of course, for the album. After all, it's your last album, and I want it to be remembered many years later."
Zhou Yiyang said confidently.
