Chapter 1611: Chapter 1299: After Reaching the Pinnacle, Loneliness at the Top Is Inevitable

The difference from the album rules on Earth is that a Blue Star singer’s album must and can only have ten songs.

This is for the fairness of the new season rankings.

Everyone having the same number of songs allows for fair competition in download numbers.

Conventionally, an album needs a theme. Although having a unified theme for all ten songs isn’t realistic due to excessive homogenization, at least more than three songs should maintain a consistent theme.

Therefore.

Before releasing Xia Fan’s album, the two had a deep discussion about what theme to use.

Initially, there was no answer.

Until Lin Yuan saw an interview Xia Fan did on a certain talk show.

During the interview.

Xia Fan smiled and said, “Since I was little, I’ve been a stubborn girl, a bit unconventional. While other girls were skipping rope and playing string games, I was playing arcade games in the game center with two boys. Later, those two boys went to high school and college with me, and we’ve always been inseparable.

They took good care of me, and I took good care of them,

this friendship was unrelated to gender.

But in some people’s eyes, being brash and hanging out with two boys, my behavior might seem somewhat improper, leading to other girls distancing themselves from me. There were many unpleasant rumors at school, and even the teachers talked to me, but I didn’t see anything wrong with it. Just do what you believe in.

Whether it’s friendship or singing and acting.

I’ve always stuck to what I care about and love, not caring about others’ opinions.

Even ten or twenty years later, even when I have gray hair, I hope to look back and still recognize that stubborn little girl I once was.”

The interview video was sent to Lin Yuan by his sister.

After Lin Yuan watched the video, his sister, half-smiling, said, “Until the end of the interview, Xia Fan didn’t tell the host that those two inseparable boys later became the famous Spiderman and the even more famous Xian Yu.”

Those two boys she mentioned were Lin Yuan and Jian Yi.

But because of this statement, Lin Yuan determined the theme for Xia Fan’s album.

Theme: Youth

In a broad sense, “youth” refers to boys and girls around the age of 11 to 18.

In a narrow sense, it specifically refers to boys.

Of course, the album’s songs should include a piece called “Youth.”

Although this song became popular online, its quality is quite good, making it suitable as the album’s title track without issue.

Next.

Lin Yuan suddenly thought of Mayday’s “Eternal Summer.”

This song is also very good.

Xia Fan has the typical pop voice and can easily handle both songs.

Most importantly, the attitude and individuality expressed in these two songs align with Xia Fan’s life philosophy.

The same stubbornness.

The same bravery.

Even Lin Yuan didn’t know Xia Fan had experienced alienation from the girls, even though he inherited all the original memories.

Boys are always oblivious to such matters.

Not sure if Jian Yi knows, but Lin Yuan feels it’s unlikely.

And after deciding on two songs, Lin Yuan quickly thought of a third song.

G.E.M.’s “Pretty Close Girl.”

This song encourages every girl to be themselves and live beautifully.

The lyrics are a bit sharp and might sting some people’s hearts, but for Xia Fan, the heroine fighting zombies in “Resident Evil,” singing this song is perfectly fine.

Of course.

Lin Yuan wouldn’t let Xia Fan’s album reflect just one side.

“A love song is essential, and this album can include ‘Beyond Light Years.'”

Choosing this song is firstly because Xia Fan’s voice suits it;

secondly, because Lin Yuan feels this love philosophy matches Xia Fan’s personality.

In sum.

The ten songs Lin Yuan wrote for this album were mostly considered based on “whether they fit Xia Fan.”

After receiving the songs, Xia Fan praised Lin Yuan for “knowing me well,” even teasingly in a “Zhao Ying Ge” way:

“You’ve been single for so many years, could it be you’ve got a secret crush on me?”

Lin Yuan didn’t respond to her.

At this moment, precisely at midnight on the second day of the lunar new year, the album titled “Youth” was officially released.

Xian Yu plus Yu Dynasty artist.

This is the classic combination.

Ten songs, officially unveiled to the public!

…

Needless to say, the competition in the music industry is fiercely intense.

With a global population of billions on Blue Star, without the limitations of regions and continents.

The season rankings are a brutal slaughterhouse within the music industry.

Who knows how many Kings and Queens of Singing have fought tooth and nail just to secure a front-row seat, only to end up in a grim ending.

Only the King of Kings and the Queen of Queens, collaborating with the Maestro of Maestros, can triumph in this world.

And for this season.

As the first season of the new year begins, the music industry’s battle started at the crack of dawn on New Year’s Day.

Kings, Queens, and Maestros are constantly watching the leaderboard changes.

Those slightly lower on the rankings are desperately promoting;

those leading the rankings are rallying their fans to vote;

The enthusiasm evidently won’t cool down even with the arrival of the second day.

“Go!”

“Who’s afraid of who!?”

“Do fans still have fighting power?”

“If no fighting power, have them rally their families together!”

“Students?”

“Out of money?”

“I’m going to send a red envelope in the group chat to get them to download!”

“That guy next door, his album’s title song is a movie theme, and the movie launches tomorrow. That might blow up the numbers a bit, we should be cautious.”

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

“Hold on, am I seeing things?”

“Take a look, who is this?”

“Oh my!”

“Why is this person here!”

“Game over!”

“The world’s second-ranked Maestro personally playing on the season chart?”

“Isn’t this just fish bombing?!”

“Total massacre!”

…

Some King of Singing is wailing;

Some Queen of Singing is sighing;

Some Maestro is giving a wry smile.

Indeed.

Everyone has seen the notifications pushed by various software.

Xia Fan’s album has been heavily promoted, with Xian Yu’s name appearing frequently, aiming to let the whole world know:

This is a personal album tailor-made by Xian Yu for Xia Fan.

This news made the already heated season chart competition in the music world instantly cool down!

Cooling down to freezing point, no less!

Many people momentarily stopped breathing!

As some King of Singing said, Xian Yu playing the season chart is basically fish bombing.

Fish bombing fish.

Sure enough.

Almost as soon as this album was released, the sales went crazy!

The terrifying download numbers made the album named [Boy] soar to the skies!

Less than ten minutes.

The album sales already reached third place on the season chart!

Remember, the top ten albums on the season chart are all based on a day and night’s data!

Besides.

In just ten minutes, the download numbers were so high, but there’s no way to have listened to all the songs!

Simple math, an album with ten songs, even if we estimate each song to be only three minutes, it takes half an hour to listen to them all!

Clearly.

Many fans saw Xian Yu’s name and clicked download without even considering the album’s quality.

Fine.

Xian Yu is a guarantee of quality.

What?

Xia Fan?

Xia Fan’s appeal is strong too.

After all, she’s a singing queen with significant influence in the film industry.

But if she didn’t have Xian Yu as her backup, her album sales wouldn’t be so terrifying, everyone knows this well.

The fact is indeed so.

Because the comments section of the album was filled with similar voices:

“Download complete, ten songs, time to loop them slowly.”

“The rankings are rising fast.”

“Everyone’s scrambling to download, like delaying would be a loss.”

“Haha, Fish Papa is so capricious, releasing albums only after elementary school.”

“Trust me, even if Xian Yu released a few days later, he’d surely dominate the season chart.”

“The second-ranked Maestro on the music chart playing the season chart, it’s basically a bully move.”

“After all, the person ranked first isn’t interested in the season chart.”

“With the first not taking action, Xian Yu has nearly no rival on the season chart, only Father Yang and Luo Su can fight him.”

“You’re wrong, even Father Yang and Luo Su can’t match him.”

“We have to admit, the season chart is fair and unfair, especially for Fish Papa; his fame adds terror, he’s got the most fans worldwide, any song he writes gets supported.”

“Alright.”

“No more talk.”

“Already number one.”

“Start listening to the music, the season chart doesn’t need attention, Xian Yu would be first even if he played with his feet.”

…

That’s right.

In about twenty minutes, the album Lin Yuan created for Xia Fan already topped the season chart.

Like breaking through decay.

Opponents defeated at a touch.

The miracle of the season chart happened in a snap.

Standing at the doorstep, feeling the breeze, looking at the chart frozen at this moment, Lin Yuan suddenly felt a bit cold and instinctively tightened his clothes:

“Is it getting chilly?”

“Maybe you’re standing too high up.”

Big Yaoyao’s words were a double entendre.

Lin Yuan didn’t know if this was the moment where opposing forces vanished in laughter, he only knew that standing at the top, he couldn’t escape the chill of being too high.

PS: This might not be what everyone imagined, but right now I can’t do a twelve championship back-and-forth, it’s just a crushing process.
