The network fluctuation lasted for nearly fifteen seconds. After it gradually stabilized, apart from a small number of onlookers who went straight to the point, the vast majority of people immediately turned their attention to the major updated list!
The first thing that catches the eye is the overall ranking of the three tiers.
This list doesn't just cram together all the third-tier artists from the sixteen states; rather, you have to be in the top ten on your local chart to appear on the overall list.
Furthermore, the charts are updated in real time, so once an artist falls out of the top ten on the local charts, they will immediately disappear from the overall charts of all sixteen states, and the artist and song that made it into the top ten will take their place on the overall charts.
The rules for the second-tier overall rankings are roughly the same, except that five more spots are available.
In contrast, the rules for the overall rankings of top-tier cities are more complex.
Each state is allotted twenty spots, but male and female artists are counted separately.
It may seem like things have become more relaxed, but that's not actually the case.
Because once the quota is allocated separately, it means that the room for advancement for both male and female artists is compressed to only ten quotas.
In areas where the proportions are balanced, this rule is fine, but in areas where yang is dominant and yin is weak, or vice versa, this rule becomes particularly cruel.
As for the list of Heavenly Kings and Queens, it's quite simple; just throw all the Heavenly Kings and Queens from the sixteen states together.
Of course, the rankings for top stars and top stars are calculated separately, each with its own system.
As for the celebrity list.
At this moment, almost in the blink of an eye, Zhao Wenyao reached the top with his work "Lonely Night"!
The second place went to Chen Shukai from Haozhou.
The third place went to Wei Xiang from Italy.
Fourth place goes to Chen Fei from France.
The fifth place went to Lu Huiling from Sangju.
Lin Rui is in sixth place, not far behind seventh place, and could be overtaken at any time.
This result surprised many people.
In particular, in terms of downloads, Zhao Wenyao has maintained a very strong competitive edge. Although Chen Shukai is closing in, it is clear that he faces considerable pressure in trying to catch up or even surpass him.
"Principal, is it possible that Lin Rui's song is not good?"
In the principal's office, Ren Hetai and Director Luo did not leave the school, but stayed there until midnight.
In fact, they were not the only ones who stayed up until midnight.
In the face of such a grand musical spectacle, how many people in the entire school, the entire Xia State, or even the remaining fifteen states, could sleep peacefully?
What's the rush?
Ren Hetai remained calm and smiled faintly: "This is just the beginning. The reason we are lagging behind is simply because the ones ahead of us are better prepared."
At this point, Ren Hetai waved his hand confidently: "Let's not worry about this list for now, let's listen to Lin Rui's new work."
Director Luo immediately understood and opened [Xiazhou Cloud Music] at the first opportunity.
A giant poster featuring mountains, rivers, and bamboo rafts immediately appeared on the screen.
—Jiangnan
Without hesitation, Director Luo chose to download and purchase the app.
Play!
The whistling wind blows continuously, accompanied by the sound of the xiao flute, the babbling brook, and the guzheng playing throughout. Every rhythmic release is so natural and smooth, captivating the listener!
This is going to be a disaster from the very beginning!
This song has such a strong Chinese flavor, who the hell spread rumors online that it's a love song?!
Director Luo was stunned.
Ren Hetai was also stunned!
This prelude alone was enough to make even a respected art school principal like himself, who was a figure of considerable influence in the industry, exclaim in admiration!
Regardless of what happens next, if Fusheng falls for this prelude, Ren Hetai will immediately retire from the military and return to his rural home!
"Lin Rui's mastery of traditional Chinese culture is truly astonishing!"
Upon hearing the melodious flute music, Ren Hetai could no longer contain himself and clapped his hands in praise.
Judging from this prelude alone, the quality of "Jiangnan" is beyond doubt!
Immediately afterwards, a strong pop rhythm began, coming without warning. This dynamic melody, accompanied by the occasional melodious sound of the xiao (vertical bamboo flute), seemed to outline a chaotic space-time that was impossible to understand. But this sense of contradiction did not seem abrupt; on the contrary, it was extremely beautiful!
Is this a traditional Chinese style song or a love song?
Even Ren Hetai, who prided himself on his extensive knowledge, was somewhat confused at this moment.
"The wind becomes sticky here, clinging to the thoughts of passersby; the rain becomes thread-like here, binding us to linger in this world."
That delicate voice, that damn emotional delivery!
It still tastes just like that!
"It is fate that you are by my side. Fate is written on the Three Lives Stone. Love has a sweetness of one in ten thousand. I would rather be buried here."
Ren Hetai is someone who has a habit of pausing after listening to each piece of music to analyze its lyrics and melody.
Despite the tender, emotional voice, he raised his hand several times, intending to reach for the mouse, but each time he pulled it back halfway through.
"Every word rhymes, which is in line with Lin Rui's style, and it also complements the melody. It's rare! Very rare!"
Ren Hetai couldn't help but praise him.
Director Luo, standing to the side, naturally smiled and agreed.
He simply thought the song was good, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.
"Circles and circles, day after day, year after year, I gaze deeply at your face, your angry yet gentle face, your resentful yet gentle face."
stop!
This time, Ren Hetai had no choice but to reach out and press the pause button.
Under Director Luo's puzzled gaze, Ren Hetai did not explain, but kept looking at the lyrics of that section.
Forced rhyme!
These circles and circles are just a mess!
Ren Hetai frowned. In his opinion, with Lin Rui's talent, he shouldn't have made such a reprehensible mistake.
He was even certain that this one line of lyrics would cause flaws in the entire song that could have been avoided, or even that should never have appeared!
However, Ren Hetai also had to admit that the melody of the song was simply too outstanding. Putting aside the flawed lyrics, the rhythm highlighted by the melody in this transition section was a stroke of genius!
With a slight sigh, Ren Hetai continued playing the lyrics despite some regret about the forced rhyme.
"We who do not understand the torment of love, hate, and passion all thought that love was as fickle as the weather, believing that loving for one day was better than loving forever, freezing time in that instant."
Ren Hetai's slightly regretful gaze returned to its clear and bright state.
The chorus has a tight rhythm!
These lyrics and music are so captivating!
That's some truly masterful singing!
Such expressive delivery!
Absolutely heartless!
"We, who didn't know how to express tenderness, thought that dying for love was just an ancient legend. How painful and intense can the sorrow of parting be? Only when the dream was buried in the misty rain of Jiangnan did we understand."
Ren Hetai involuntarily closed his eyes.
As the climax gradually subsided, he kept replaying the lingering charm of time in the lyrics, feeling the deep emotions permeated by the melody, and the faint sadness left a lingering impression on this profound love story.
This is not only a song, but also a poem, a painting, and it can even be called an era!
Ren Hetai slowly got up and stood on the windowsill. He could vaguely hear the sounds of wind, flutes, flowing water, whistles, and songs coming from the playground, woods, dormitory, and corridor.
The landscape is like a painting!
It turned out that all the students were listening.
Perhaps the people of Xiazhou are listening too.
Even people in other states who couldn't sleep like him were listening!
Ren Hetai could already foresee that this song, "Jiangnan," would become a hit throughout the sixteen provinces.
Its appearance will shake the entire music scene!
Ren Hetai glanced again at the computer screen not far away, looking at "Lonely Night" which was still at the top of the charts. He looked up at the starry sky and murmured to himself.
"It was almost dawn..."
