As the noisy live stream gradually quieted down, Guo Fan clapped his hands and said, "Alright, my friends, that's all for the appreciation of 'Gong Xi Fa Cai'. Now let's listen to the next song, oh, it's a song called 'Young and Promising'. But to be fair, our Yang Shen really can be described as a young and promising person. Maybe this song is about himself. Let's listen carefully!"
Guo Fan pressed the continue button with his thick finger:
The TV keeps flickering.
The contact information has not been deleted.
Your kindness to me
But I accidentally destroyed it.
We once thought about it together.
A place to eat and sleep
······
Fang Yang's singing flowed slowly through the live stream, but the once lively room fell into a deathly silence. There were hardly any comments, and even Guo Fan, who was usually very active, was in tears. After just over four minutes, Guo Fan only managed to utter the word "heartbreaking" before stopping and quickly clicking on the next song.
Seemingly to comfort the wounded hearts of everyone in the live stream, this was a sweet love song, "Clearly My Heart," sung by Fang Yang and Zheng Xiuli, which revived the spirits of everyone in the live stream.
"My god, this guy Yang Shen is a heartless bastard, singing such a heart-wrenching song, it reminds me of my first love, those unbearable years!"
"I wanted to cry, but for some reason, a force came from the bottom of my heart."
"If I had been more successful when I was young, my wife wouldn't have had to suffer so much with me."
"Stop talking. Everyone has sad stories. If I had been successful when I was young, my child wouldn't have suffered the same scorn as I did back then."
"You bunch of jealous people, I, a single dog, haven't even said anything yet. If I were young and successful, I would already have ten or eight concubines and a warm bed."
Guo Fan interrupted the audience as they watched the live stream getting increasingly absurd, saying, "Actually, this song 'Young and Promising' is an inspirational song. Who hasn't had a painful past? Who didn't come from that era? The important thing is to live in the present, do your best, and keep a promise to your loved ones. That's better than constantly thinking about the past. Don't you all agree?"
"The anchor is right, he deserves a reward!"
Another round of virtual gifts started flowing through the live stream, and Guo Fan couldn't help but express his gratitude before pressing the button for the next song, "Breakups Always Happen on Rainy Days," which once again echoed in the live stream.
The morning light and drizzle returned to the earth.
People hide alone
Turning around, I found myself on this familiar roadside.
Realizing the passerby behind you is you
······
Guo Fan's emotions, which had just calmed down, became excited again. "My friends, I never expected that Yang Shen could sing Cantonese songs so well! Although this song is full of the sadness of couples breaking up, to be honest, this song is amazing. It captures the hesitation of lovers after breaking up so vividly. If you ask me, this is the best breakup song in recent years. Don't you all agree?"
"It sounds nice, but my heart is pounding up and down, and I'm afraid I'm about to have a heart attack. It's so uncomfortable!"
"It hurts. I just broke up with my girlfriend. Just like this song says, the whole sky is dark, the rain is pouring down, and I have nowhere to take shelter from the rain."
"Waaaaah, I just broke up with my boyfriend, and I feel like I see his image everywhere."
Guo Fan sighed, "I see it now. Yang Shen is doing this on purpose, making you laugh and cry. How can there be such a bad person in this world? But this song is just so moving, making people willingly follow his feelings. I reckon the next song will be another upbeat one, but before you listen, I have a suggestion: if you haven't ordered the vinyl album yet, hurry up and do it. There are so many classic songs; if you don't order now, you might not have the chance next time. You know, Yang Shen is currently focusing his energy on filming TV dramas; whether he'll release an album in the future is still unknown."
"Hey, what Fatty Guo said makes sense. I heard this album is all music videos, and it's also the first album by Evans, so it's very memorable. I haven't placed an order yet, so I'll hurry up and order one while I can."
"Yes, I thought I had already downloaded a digital album and was wondering whether to cancel the film album, but now I think it's better not to cancel it."
Not to mention the bustling atmosphere in Guo Fan's live stream, the Bole Hot Search List was also buzzing with activity. Fang Yang's album was released digitally ahead of schedule, featuring a string of classic songs, which led to a surge in discussion and popularity, with ten related songs suddenly appearing at the top of the list.
The number one song, "Young and Promising," is an undeniably poignant and inspiring hit.
Second place goes to "Gong Xi Fa Cai" (Wishing You Prosperity), an essential anthem for businesses. With it, even rats in your shopping mall will weep.
The third place goes to "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies," a once-in-a-decade rock anthem that proves that Chinese people now have their own rock anthem!
Fourth place goes to "Breaking Up Always Happens on Rainy Days," a breakup anthem and a harbinger of the future rise of Cantonese songs.
Fifth place goes to "The Sunset Is Drunk," a healing anthem perfect for when you're feeling down.
The sixth place goes to "The First Snow of 2002," a perfect place to see snow. Bring your loved one along.
Seventh place: "I Understand My Heart," a love-inducing anthem; Mom won't worry about me not having a girlfriend anymore.
······
The release of the chart caused an uproar throughout China. Never before has anyone been able to dominate the top ten of the charts, let alone just ten songs from one album. Even though the Chinese music scene has declined somewhat in recent years, with many young people turning to foreign songs, it is still unprecedented to have ten songs dominate the charts.
Even if Fang Yang is hailed as a god, he only plays around on the small Yuewen Entertainment Media website. Outside of Yuewen Entertainment Media, apart from music lovers, how many people know about him who doesn't appear on TV or in the news? Besides, Fang Yang has been missing for nearly three months, and his name has already faded into obscurity.
