The video also accumulated a lot of comments.
"Seeing the goddess turn into this, I wish I could tear that scumbag Li Zhaoyang to pieces."
"It's all Li Zhaoyang's fault! Give me back my sunny, smiling goddess!"
"My heart aches for the goddess!"
"Is this song released by the goddess in July likely to become her final masterpiece?"
"If everyone boycotts Sunset's music, music platforms will remove their works."
"Yes, that's right. We should also boycott the new song announced by Sunset. Let's unite and let that song about 'sorrow and relief' enter a period of stagnation."
After briefly reading it, Song Yuqin felt a chill run through her body, from her feet to the top of her head. This move was ruthless and vicious.
"This woman is trying to crush our Wanxia with the last bit of public attention." Song Yuqin immediately lost her appetite.
"We still need to eat. As for the rest, let's leave the answers tonight. Director, it's my treat tonight." Li Zhaoyang took the initiative and led the depressed and sullen director into the restaurant.
Throughout the entire process, Song Yuqin was on the phone, and in the end, she even contacted Wanxia's public relations department to try her best to suppress the public opinion.
Even with the public relations department working overtime, it's difficult to quell public anger.
They've really been hyped up too much by Xingtu.
"Public opinion has always been a double-edged sword; it can kill the enemy, but it can also turn around and kill you." After finishing his meal, Li Zhaoyang simply said this.
Song Yuqin had no interest in listening to any of this. Instead, after sending Zhaoyang home, she returned to the company. She needed to think of a solution.
Li Zhaoyang didn't know what the director would do. It was almost eight o'clock, so he simply didn't bother with these matters. Suppressing public opinion was something that should be left to more professional people; everyone has their own expertise.
I went home to take a shower and waited for 8 p.m.
...
Nights in the same city.
The time has come to exactly eight o'clock.
Inside a rented room.
A woman, who looked to be in her early twenties, was eating instant noodles while simultaneously battling online with a sunset-themed online chat.
Following the crowd in criticizing, hating, and boycotting the sunset is what this instant noodle girl wants to do.
Although the woman who wore instant noodles wasn't a fan of Zhao Shanshan, she felt a surge of sympathy after seeing the pitiful-looking female singer, Yu Yu.
As it approached 8 PM, the "instant noodle girl" posted a message on Baidu Tieba boycotting the new song "Sunset Glow," urging everyone not to download it.
The woman who loves instant noodles turned around, exited Baidu, opened the Huoshaoyun Music platform, and searched for the keyword: "sorrow relief".
Finally, a piece created by Zhaixing was played, priced at 1 yuan.
In this era when the path of entertainment was just beginning, the music market was not yet saturated, and there was no such thing as a membership system.
The music market in Li Zhaoyang's world was completely saturated, and no one would listen if they charged money, so they switched to a membership system.
They only dare to set a price when releasing an album.
What no one in this industry has realized yet is that Li Zhaoyang's first song released tonight will have an unseen impact on the music world. He is destined to accelerate the development of the entertainment industry, causing it to quickly become saturated, eliminate the pricing system, and adopt a membership system.
The development of culture and entertainment can begin with the very first debut work.
The woman in front of me, who eats instant noodles, isn't trying to boost sales for Sunset, but rather to continue her fight after listening to this song that helps her forget her worries.
The "Instant Noodle Girl" even hopes that the new song released by Sunset will be of very poor quality, because only in this way will she have enough reason to continue fighting against Sunset.
After spending 1 yuan to download it, the girl who loves instant noodles was too lazy to even put on headphones and simply played the song "Sorrow" directly from her laptop's original audio jack.
"Hmph, 'Sorrow-Relieving', what a ridiculous song title."
When the melody started playing, the instant noodle girl was still rambling on and on, planning to use this lousy song to fight later.
——
Lyrics by: Zhaixing
Composer: Zhaixing
Singer: Lin Xianguang
When you step into this joyous place, carrying all your dreams and aspirations...
——
"The opening melody is alright, but the lyrics are rubbish."
The woman with the instant noodles came with a critical eye, so she didn't say anything nice. "You went to an entertainment venue with dreams in your heart, but isn't that a place to have fun?"
What brilliant person would carry their dreams to an amusement park?
The woman with instant noodles started noting down the first point.
The song is already worthy of criticism right from the start, so it's undoubtedly a bad song.
Moreover, I've never even heard of this "Star Picking" thing.
As her smile grew increasingly ferocious, the moment arrived at the crucial point.
——
One cup to the rising sun, one cup to the moonlight, awakening my longing and softening the cold window.
So one can fly against the wind without looking back, unafraid of rain in the heart or frost in the eyes.
"Hmm?" The woman with instant noodles pushed up her glasses, pushed the instant noodles aside, and turned up the volume to continue listening.
——
One cup to freedom, one cup to death, forgive my ordinariness, dispel my confusion.
Well, people always leave hastily after dawn; the most absurd thing is when they're sober.
——
Compared to other songs that are around 4 minutes long, this song "Sorrow" is very short, less than three minutes long, as if it sings about all the experiences of life.
The instant noodle girl, who had originally planned to use these pretexts to criticize others, was at a loss.
"...So bad?" The instant noodle girl couldn't sit still any longer, so she put on her headphones and played it again.
A few minutes later.
"No, something's not right with this song. The opening lyrics seem to echo the beginning and the end."
The instant noodle girl started listening to it for the third time.
She was deeply shocked after hearing it.
This song cannot be listened to from an objective perspective.
Otherwise, you'll find the opening scene of going to the amusement park with dreams quite incongruous.
But if you listen to it with another layer of meaning, it corresponds to the eight cups of wine to drown sorrows that follow.
The woman eating instant noodles even started muttering to herself:
"Life is like the joyous field in the song. After going around in circles, it leaves no trace, only memories... In the end, perhaps only drunkenness can make us understand some realities, but when we are sober, we don't want to accept them. It's so absurd... This Lin Xianguang's singing voice can perfectly and calmly express that kind of sorrow. It's amazing. And... who exactly is Zhaixing, who wrote this song?"
She had previously called for a boycott of the song "Sunset Glow," but the "instant noodle girl" listened to it over and over again.
resist?
Or... should we not boycott this song for now?
Why should Zhaixing pay for Li Zhaoyang's mistakes?
That's not fair!
Yes, we will not boycott this song!
The woman who made instant noodles changed her mind and even went downstairs to buy a bottle of red wine, which was quite expensive.
To dispel sorrow, one must pair it with wine.
The instant noodle girl decided to listen to it one more time.
Don't be fooled by the fact that she lives in a small rented room of a few dozen square meters. In Shanghai, where land is incredibly valuable, a rented room of a few dozen square meters still costs more than two thousand yuan a month.
After downing a glass of red wine, feeling a slight coolness in her throat, the instant noodle girl completely forgot her idea of boycotting the sunset song, raised her glass, and shouted:
"Drinking to drown my sorrows only makes them worse... I want to give this song and Zhaixing a 100 yuan reward!"
...
P.S.: The original author of "Sorrow" is Mao Buyi.
