"But we can't just praise someone and agree with everything they say just because they sang a new song."
"No matter what he calls it, Dragon Kingdom style or Chinese style is still within the scope of the ancient style circle, there is no doubt about that!"
"As inheritors of Chinese culture, we must treat culture with respect, rather than seeking fame and fortune."
As a representative singer in the traditional Chinese style music scene.
Li Guyan's words reveal his rejection and opposition to Wang Yueheng's so-called "Chinese style" songs.
In the comments section of his Weibo post, countless die-hard fans claimed that the traditional style is the only authentic one.
The so-called "Chinese style" is nothing more than wishful thinking on the part of Wang Yueheng and his fans.
"That's right, it's clearly ancient style, but they insist on calling it Chinese style as a gimmick."
"Brother Li Guyan is the only representative figure in the ancient style music circle. Other singers are just trying to ride on our ancient style music circle's popularity!"
"To be fair, the so-called 'Chinese style' is just a term that Wang Yueheng made up himself."
"I'm also a fan of Wang Yueheng, but I think he really exaggerated this time!"
...
Looking at these comments from netizens who completely failed to understand, Wang Yueheng felt a mix of amusement and helplessness.
Upon closer reflection...
Strictly speaking, "Huo Yuanjia" cannot be considered a representative work of Chinese-style songs.
It's no wonder so many people misunderstand.
“Teacher Yue Heng, this singer Li Guyan may have some connection with you.”
Noticing Wang Yueheng's confusion, Li Yueqi, the newly appointed operations assistant, suddenly spoke up in a low voice.
"What's the connection?" Wang Yueheng asked curiously.
"He graduated from Tsinghua University, so he should be considered your senior."
"He also served as the president of the literary society at Tsinghua University, and has a high level of literary attainment, especially a fondness for classical poetry."
"He is also a member of the Kyoto Poetry Association."
"But he didn't have formal music training; he taught himself composition, and he's just as talented as you."
Fearing that Wang Yueheng might not know much about this singer in the ancient style music scene, Li Yueqi explained in detail.
As she spoke, she found information about Li Guyan on her phone and handed it to Wang Yueheng.
The singer in the photo is dressed in a gentle and refined manner, giving the impression of a gentleman.
"You don't know, Senior Li Guyan was once voted the most handsome guy at Tsinghua University by the Tsinghua University forum."
"I believe he didn't make those remarks just to ride your coattails."
"Because as a representative singer in the ancient style music circle, he never accepts commercial performances and rarely appears in public."
"He belongs to the kind of rigid scholar who cannot tolerate any flaws, and therefore he can't fit into the entertainment industry at all."
Mo Zixue, who also studies at Tsinghua University, added.
If other artists were to comment on Wang Yueheng's new song "Huo Yuanjia" in this way and then make a fuss about it...
Mo Zixue's first thought was that the other party was trying to ride on Wang Yueheng's popularity.
But if it's Li Guyan, the talented senior from Tsinghua University...
So the other party is simply acting out of academic considerations.
They simply didn't want Wang Yueheng to use the inheritance of Chinese culture to create a mystique.
However, this makes them easy targets for cunning individuals who might use them as pawns.
For example, composer Zhang Handian, who also spoke out against Wang Yueheng, was clearly just trying to gain attention.
"I see…"
Wang Yueheng nodded after hearing the two girls' explanation.
At least this top student from Shui-Fu University wasn't deliberately looking for trouble like Kitahara Sousuke.
Since the Chinese style has not yet been established and finalized in this world.
I might as well take this opportunity to become the founding master of Chinese-style songs.
That way you can gain even more popularity.
It's much more efficient than simply singing two pop songs.
"Hey, Li Guyan also released a new ancient-style song!"
"Could it be that he also wants to spar with Teacher Yue Heng?"
Just then, Li Yueqi stared at her phone screen in surprise again.
