It wasn’t just the industry discussing it.

Over at Qin Art, the excitement was palpable.

After all, Sun Yaohuo was a senior who had graduated from the music department of the Qin Continent Art Academy, and the sense of belonging there was strong. More than eighty percent of the posts on the school forum were discussing this matter.

“Brother Sun is awesome!”

“Xian Yu is clearly the awesome one.”

“I was saying Brother Sun’s luck is awesome.”

“Xian Yu really showcases the importance of the Maestro to the fullest. Last time he helped Zhao Ying Ge surpass a first-line singer, and this time he did it again with senior Sun Yaohuo. I’m starting to suspect Xian Yu is doing it on purpose. The weaker the foundations of Sun Yaohuo and Zhao Ying Ge, the greater Xian Yu’s skills seem to be. In reality, Sun Yaohuo’s foundations are far from matching a first-line singer, let alone competing with Zhao Ying Ge.”

“These lyrics are incredible too.”

“That line, ‘What one cannot have constantly agitates them, those who are favoured have no fear,’ really touched my heart. I’ve decided to make this line my personal signature. Xian Yu’s lyric-writing skills are just as great as his composition skills!”

“You may want to rethink that.”

“Ever since the song was released, I’ve seen at least ten of my friends using this line as their personal signature. At a glance, it makes them all seem like newly released matryoshka dolls. I’m afraid one day they’ll suddenly message me saying they’ve been the same person all along. If I don’t believe them, they might even switch accounts to prove it.”

“Yao Huo is really going to hit it big!”

“If ‘Life Like A Summer Flower’ marked the successful debut of senior Sun Yaohuo, then this song is enough to give Brother Sun some fame. From now on, whenever people see the name Sun Yaohuo, they won’t find it unfamiliar

anymore.”

Indeed, many people’s first reaction upon seeing Sun Yaohuo’s name was unfamiliarity. Other than those who especially love the song ‘Life Like A Summer Flower,’ who else really knows who he is?

But now the situation is clearly different.

Not to mention the industry insiders.

Even within the comments section of this song, many are discussing Sun

Yaohuo’s singing skills.

After all, ‘Red Rose’ isn’t a song that can be easily sung well, even by a dog chained in a recording studio. The song requires a lower vocal range, and without corresponding singing skills, you simply won’t be able to handle it.

Besides singing skills, the song also requires emotion.

Think about how long Sun Yaohuo trained just to record this song, and consider how Jin Shuyu couldn’t resist trying to claim the chance to perform it, you’ll realize that this song isn’t as simple as it sounds.

Some people might say, ‘I can sing this song too.’

Well, yes and no.

In terms of singing difficulty, ‘Red Rose’ is indeed easy to sing.

But being able to sing and singing well are two different things!

Even if the melody is exactly the same, if you can’t bring out the flavor of the song, it’ll greatly diminish its charm. When many people listen to a song, they’re listening for that specific flavor.

Change the singer, and the flavor will be off. Anyone can notice that!

On that note, Sun Yaohuo deserves praise.

Still, most of the comments were discussing the song itself.

These comment sections are not only gathering spots for music enthusiasts, but also for casual visitors to make witty remarks. For example, one comment read: “My boyfriend has been listening to this song since last night, is he hinting at something?”

Another asked, “What does being favoured feel like?”

The top-rated reply was: “When you commit a murder, he asks if you are hurt, and if it’s painful…”

“So, the story of this song is actually quite sad.”

“Men are like that, they like the well-behaved ones, but they can’t resist the

flirty ones.”

“Only by following one’s heart, can they live a good life.”

The comments section most frequently features comments of this artsy, melancholic tone.

In this sense, the gloomy web users of Earth really understand.

But there’s actually a backstory to this song.

The backstory also originates from Earth so Blue Starrians wouldn’t know it. This backstory is also the inspiration behind the lyrics to this song.

The classic opening line from Zhang Ailing’s novel ‘Red Rose, White Rose’ is:

“In his lifetime, every man has at least two such women.

“He who marries a Red Rose, in time sheds his love as easily as ridding a speck of mosquito blood on the wall; while the White Rose remains, a moonlit light before his bed.”

“He who marries a White Rose, the white turns into a speck of rice stuck to his clothes; while the Red Rose rolls down to become a cinnabar mole on his heart.”

This little tidbit doesn’t really affect the mood of listening to the song.

Don’t feel like you’re missing anything, because you’re not.

Because even on Earth, among those who have listened to ‘Red Rose’ and those who think they understand it, more than ninety percent have never read Zhang Ailing’s novel or even know it exists.

The meteoric rise of ‘Red Rose’ to the top of the charts the very next day after its release is proof enough of this.

The lyrics and music are already enough.

In the end, Chen Zhiyu lost out.

He only sat on the champion throne for one day, or in the words of the jokers on the outside:

Chen Zhiyu hadn’t even had time to warm his seat.

However, Chen Zhiyu had anticipated this result, so when he was pushed to second place, he just made a phone call to his manager:

“Let’s have dinner together tonight.”

Understanding Chen Zhiyu’s feelings, his manager comforted him, then asked, “What should we eat tonight?”

“Let’s have fish.”

Chen Zhiyu said, for some reason, he really wanted to eat fish.

An all-fish banquet would be perfect – braised fish, steamed fish, pickled fish, chopped pepper fish head, and perhaps a crucian carp tofu soup as well.

Did he forget about the sashimi?

He has always been afraid to eat raw fish.

However, after some hesitation, he decided to try it tonight. He heard it’s actually quite delicious.

His manager:”…”

Meanwhile, in a hotel near the company, Tao Ran, horrified by the proceedings on the June New Song Chart, said to Jin Shuyu, “I’m glad you reminded me not to take action against Sun Yaohuo. It would have been unwise.”

If Sun Yaohuo was an unknown, it would have been okay.

But looking at the momentum of ‘Red Rose,’ Sun Yaohuo is obviously going to become famous.

Even though he’s still far from being a top-tier performer, the company will definitely allocate a lot of resources to him in the future. There’s really no need to make him an enemy in this situation.

“Not enough.”

Jin Shuyu said, staring intently at the chart: “It’s not enough.

He held high hopes for this song.

But the power this song displayed was even more exaggerated than he thought. This result, completely out of his expectations, made him realize he had made a mistake he shouldn’t have!

Tao Ran was taken aback: “What do you mean?

Jin Shuyu took a deep breath, pulled out a razor and started shaving. He hadn’t been in the mood to shave for a few days, so his beard had grown quite a bit.

After fixing his hair and finding a more formal outfit, Jin Shuyu said:

“We need to apologize to Xian Yu.”
