Chapter 429: Chapter 407: They Started It First_1
For the chart-topping success of “Song of Water,” Lin Yuan was not surprised because the song deserved such recognition.
To be more precise, it’s “May People Always “… that deserves such recognition.
So listeners in the Celestial Dynasty felt indifferent toward “May People Always …” because everyone was so familiar with the lyrics that they could recite them instantly. Therefore, they would have preconceived notions about the lody based on the aning of the words…
Cognitive bias was inevitable.
It’s sowhat similar to cognitive blindness. Many people overlook the key point that Blue Star people were seeing “Song of Water” for the first ti. Observer with a good taste could intuitively feel the extraordinary quality of this famous verse.
However, Lin Yuan also knew that his championship song was indeed a clever use of lyrics.
But this use of cleverness could not be replicated by others; it was his unique advantage.
Of course, Lin Yuan also listened to the works of other “King of Singing” contestants by Fei Yang.
For Lin Yuan, listening to music was an enjoyable process, especially listening to good songs.
It must be said, when the maestros make a move, it is truly frightening.
Every song from these people was excellent, so even classic, worthy of the standard of the Battle of Gods.
If it was solely about singing and composition, Lin Yuan felt he might not have been able to rank first.
“I can’t use this strategy frequently.”
Lin Yuan thought.
Because Blue Star audience were so surprised by this new and shocking lyric, they naturally felt amazed.
But if it occurred again, this sense of amazent would be relatively weakened.
At least the lyrics would make a noticeable decrease in the song’s download rate.
Everything is most amazing the first ti.
If it happens again or even a few more tis, people may still like words, but may not necessarily like the song itself unless the song itself is also uniquely charming.
This charm should at least be at the standard of “May People Always…”.
And if this song is used as a benchmark, even the System might not have much inventory.
So, cherish it and take it slow.
Regarding the benefits derived from the song’s wildfire popularity, Lin Yuan naturally reaped a lot. As the singer of the song, Jiang Kui naturally also benefited greatly—
She finally made it to the top tier!
Her career was moving up another level!
In the next few days.
Beyond the discussions about the song itself, praise was also showered on Jiang Kui’s singing skills.
The industry said she “held her ground on the stage competing with the King and Queen of Singing.”
Many mainstream dia gave the evaluation that she was “a new generation singer with the potential to beco the Queen of Singing”.
Even so magazines said Jiang Kui was “a pearl discovered by Xian Yu”.
Interviews and notices poured in for Jiang Kui, just like when Sun Yaohuo stepped into the top tier, even at a higher standard!
“I thought you would need two more songs to break into the top tier, but it turns out one song is enough!”
Jiang Kui’s agent was overjoyed.
But what the agent didn’t expect was that Jiang Kui didn’t seem as happy as expected.
“What’s wrong?”
The agent was startled.
Jiang Kui said resignedly, “I don’t know if I will ever encounter a song like ‘May People Always…’ again…”
The agent gave a start, and sighed:
“How many singers get to encounter such a piece in their lifeti, and you want to encounter another?”
There was sothing else the agent didn’t say:
Even Xian Yu might have a hard ti replicating the brilliance of “May People Always…”
This was a thought many people kept in their hearts, but didn’t verbalize.
Asking Xian Yu to produce another work of this caliber may be a bit too demanding. The poetic artistry of “May People Always..” has reached a kind of peak.
Who can always stand at the peak?
…
The Battle of Gods was the last chance of the year.
With “May People Always…”, Lin Yuan officially completed the tasks assigned by the company at the beginning of the year, with the highest completion rate among the floors!
“Your performance remains unrivalled.”
“You started in September and still made it in ti, successively promoting two top-tier stars. Our company hasn’t seen such large-scale moves in years!”
“With one more step up, Sun Yaohuo and Jiang Kui would be Kings and Queens of Singing. If Xian Yu continues to succeed, won’t he directly beco the next maestro announced at the musical event?”
“As expected, once Xian Yu makes a move, he turns the tide!”
“I actually feel that Xian Yu is already at the level of the maestro. Although he hasn’t t the hard criteria of the musical event, considering his creative energy and the quality of his work, he’s entirely at the level of a maestro!”
There was lively discussion among the different floors of Starlight.
The discussion between the floors spoke to a fact.
That is, although Xian Yu doesn’t have the title of maestro recognized by the musical event, his strength and status already possessed the essence of a maestro!
Starlight couldn’t possibly turn a blind eye to this fact!
A few days later,
There was a rumor circulating in the company:
The company was planning to elevate Xian Yu’s contract to the level of a maestro, and in future, Xian Yu would enjoy all the revenues from song downloads alone…
The rumor turned out to be true.
Lin Yuan’s contract level was indeed raised to the maestro standard.
Although it was only the lowest standard for a maestro, it was indeed at the standard of a maestro.
“The company doesn’t feign ignorance of your strength as a maestro just because you haven’t officially received the Maestro Trophy from the musical event.”
These words ca from Ol’ Zhou.
The contract upgrade was also arranged by Ol’ Zhou.
When Ol’ Zhou handed the new contract to Lin Yuan to sign, his old face broke into a grin:
“In the next two years, you should consider getting the Maestro Trophy from the musical event.”
At this mont.
Ol’ Zhou couldn’t help but reminisce about the day he brought Xian Yu to the composition departnt.
At that ti, the young man was still naive, holding a few introductory books on composition, bringing surprise to the composition departnt ti after ti with the calst deanor!
But even then, Ol Zhou had never dared to hope that the boy who once calculated his custom music royalty with a calculator could show strength compatible with a maestro in a few short years!
“Hmm.”
Lin Yuan’s way of speaking was as succinct as before.
But Ol’ Zhou knew, while Lin Yuan’s reply was brief, it had perhaps imperceptibly revealed a posture of aiming for the Maestro Crown.
“Also…”
Watching Lin Yuan sign the new contract, Ol’ Zhou inford: “The preparation for ‘Life of Pi’ seems a bit ti and labor consuming, so you may not be able to shoot it yet.”
“Can’t it be shot this year?”
“At least, it can’t be shot in the first half of the year.”
Lin Yuan nodded, it seed like he still needed another movie as a transition.
“By the way.”
Just as Ol’ Zhou was about to leave, he paused and couldn’t help but ask a question: “You seem not to like the Chu people?”
Lin Yuan was surprised: “Why do you say that?”
Ol’ Zhou laughed heartily: “Because you’ve bullied the Chu people too much. Not only did you crush them in composition, you even crushed Ni Hongwu, the top lyricist of Chu land.”
Lin Yuan was stunned.
So it seed, hadn’t Shadow done the sa thing?
If he were to tell Ol’ Zhou…he probably wouldn’t believe…
They were the first ones to start it.
