Sunset, Artists Department.
"Holy crap, really? I didn't see Zhang Feng for just one afternoon, and he's already been sentenced? What did he do?"
Qin San, Zhao Zai, and others who were Zhang Feng's closest friends were all completely bewildered.
I've finished watching the court hearing videos. It seems Zhang Feng only provided two videos throughout the entire proceedings.
Why is it so serious?
"So those two videos were filmed by Zhang Feng," Zhao Zai said in disbelief.
Qin San clicked his tongue and smiled bitterly: "Honestly, Zhang Feng's crime doesn't warrant this. Li Zhaoyang and he were colleagues, so why did things have to turn out like this?"
"Don't be ridiculous," an artist in the office area said. "The chairman was there at the time, which means Wanxia is going to deal with this kind of thing seriously. To a normal person, it's just two videos, but those two videos ignited this media storm, and everyone's interests were harmed. Zhang Feng deserves it!"
“That’s right, he deserves it. If you blame Li Zhaoyang for this, you’re worse than an animal.”
The group of colleagues who spoke up for Li Zhaoyang were all furious.
They were all affected by public opinion to varying degrees.
Now everyone is pointing the finger at Zhang Feng.
"Things have come to this, what's the point of talking about this? We might as well listen to Zhaoyang's new song." The female artists in the department are getting better and better at feeling about Li Zhaoyang now.
Especially after learning that Zhao Yang had never done anything so shameless to Zhao Shanshan, coupled with his talent... he perfectly fulfilled their pursuit of a partner.
This has led to increased anticipation for Zhaoyang's new song.
It was exactly four o'clock in the afternoon.
Most of the artists have returned to their computers, eager to hear Zhao Yang's new song, now free of all labels.
To be honest, without those labels, calling out Zhaoyang's name feels just as natural as before.
Inside a private office.
An agent brewed coffee and placed it on the table: "An Lan, no sugar."
She knew that An Lan had a habit of drinking bitter coffee before listening to new songs.
"Okay... By the way, could you go downstairs and buy some gifts later? We didn't cooperate with Li Zhaoyang last time because of the public opinion issue, so we'll go find him later."
"Okay, An Lan." The agent closed the door behind her.
Having missed two collaborations with Li Zhaoyang, Zhao Anlan felt it necessary to make amends, otherwise things would be quite awkward when they worked together next time.
Holding the coffee cup by the handle, Zhao Anlan took a sip and then clicked on a new link on the Sunset website.
Clicking this link will directly output a complete audio file.
The note above reads "Decent".
Although it's not available on music platforms or apps, it has all the essential features.
As soon as I clicked the link, that melancholic background music came over me.
The company clearly spent a lot of money to fix the sound quality.
Song title: Decent
Lyrics by: Zhai Tang
Composer: Zhaixing
Singer: Bian Ling'er
"The accompaniment sounds very high-quality, and there's no loss of sound quality. How much did the company spend on this?"
Don't be fooled by the fact that audio quality repair is easy; there's actually a lot of knowledge involved.
Music platforms spend a lot of money every year on various sound effects to maximize the audience's experience.
Zhao Anlan didn't think much of it. Perhaps the company leaders also felt that Li Zhaoyang's situation was too pitiful, so they tried their best to satisfy him with his new song.
——
Don't let nostalgia make the plot melodramatic.
Why ruin a classic after loving it for so many years?
We're all adults now, so I'd rather not waste time on things I don't owe anyone.
Like an actor taking their final bow watching the lights go out
——
"The sound quality isn't as bad as I imagined."
Zhao Anlan put on her headphones, ready to listen again.
The opening song sounds pretty good.
——
There was no time for a grand and spectacular event.
Preserve the dignity of farewell
——
Perhaps it was because Zhao Anlan witnessed Li Zhaoyang being attacked by public opinion that when these lyrics came into view, she felt that the artistic conception was brought out.
Coupled with that highly recognizable singing voice and the fitting visuals, it was like a giant curtain being drawn open in her eyes.
——
Breakups should be dignified; neither party should apologize.
How can I owe you anything? I dare to give, and I dare to be heartbroken.
The people in front of the camera are the former us, cheering, shedding tears, and shouting ourselves hoarse.
——
“These lyrics…” Zhao Anlan felt as if a stone was stuck in her heart, and her emotions were slowly stirred up by dignity.
Without her noticing, she inexplicably turned up the volume of her headphones by three notches.
The sound from the headphones was already deafening, but she didn't find it loud.
The scenes in her mind were pieced together one by one by Bian Ling'er's singing.
At first, she heard that Li Zhaoyang had done that kind of thing to Zhao Shanshan, and it was exposed. Then Zhao Shanshan developed Yu Yu syndrome. Then there was the video of him hitting someone. It was the explosion of public opinion and evidence that Li Zhaoyang would be kicked out of the Chinese music scene!
Finally, all the brutality was quelled by absolute evidence, and the injustice was redressed.
But the truth seems to have become unimportant.
In this emotional state, the song gradually reaches its climax and also draws to a close...
——
Leaving gracefully is the only way to make the most of these years.
A scene of passionate and earnest love.
Don't let obsession ruin yesterday. I loved you. Be decisive and straightforward.
Goodbye, but the meeting was worthwhile...
"ah?"
Zhao Anlan pulled her back and listened to it again.
Over and over again.
Why does this song resonate with me so much?
It's like writing it into my heart.
The image of her ex-boyfriend, who had disappeared from her life, gradually came to mind.
It was a chance encounter on the riverbank at sunset.
That was a vow made in a bubble tea shop to spend a lifetime together.
It was an escape that occurred one night when we were too exhausted to argue.
It was a rainy night when I lost my temper and said things against my will.
That was a figure that had disappeared in a rather undignified manner.
That was a... Zhao Anlan's eyes were wet with tears. It was a rainy night when you no longer accommodated me. That's when we parted ways.
All memories of an ex who was also my first love are magnified infinitely under the song "Decent".
Both the lyrics and the music are incredibly well-written, simply...
Li Zhaoyang, who exactly are you?
With such great talent for songwriting, why don't you write and sing your own songs when you're a singer?
"Cough cough cough..."
Zhao Anlan felt her breathing become rapid: "This is the work I gave up on collaborating on?"
A deep sense of regret washed over me.
When applied to Li Zhaoyang, it perfectly illustrates the line in the lyrics, "making the lyrics melodramatic."
Even after breaking up, my ex is still using my innocence to frame me and pushing me to the brink of suicide.
You want to maintain a dignified appearance, but unfortunately, your ex doesn't!
In the end, he didn't even retain a shred of dignity, and he had to spend the rest of his life in prison.
She seemed to catch a whiff of the "Evening Glow Queen's" aura.
With her princess-like image in a long, flowing dress, Bian Ling'er already possessed the qualities to become a top-tier singer.
Now, this song "Decent" seems to have all the advantages of timing, location, and people. Just as the lyrics say, after two people break up, the final outcome is nothing more than becoming familiar strangers. Breaking up should be done with dignity. Why destroy our classic memories?
"I gave up such a good work..."
Before, they were at the bottom; now they're respectable. Zhao Anlan wanted to slap herself twice!
If these two classic songs were placed within her own singing career, she might already have achieved the popularity of a diva...
It's gone viral!
With "Decent," Ling'er's popularity will soar, and her fame will be unstoppable. This is an unrepeatable wave of ex-girlfriend fever, and no one can stop the momentum of this song.
