Have you ever been a celebrity? Why are you writing about entertainment?

Chapter 114 You call this a positive energy singer?
"Your recent songs are all so positive."

Ever since Yu Wei appeared on the show, each of her songs has become more and more inspiring. "Under the Flying Clouds" was still a gentle and expressive type, but with "Invisible Wings" and "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart," she no longer acts.

Yu Wei was too embarrassed to say that the song in the fourth episode, which hasn't aired yet, was actually quite inspiring...

On the phone, Qi Luoan suddenly lowered his voice and said something extremely bold.

"If you sing a positive song in the future, I'll write the character '正' (positive) on you, how about that?"

"What the hell?"

Yu Wei was a little confused by the question. Damn, was that a proper character? He felt like he had seen this kind of picture somewhere before.

Writing tally marks is a bit too extreme.

Qi Luoan chuckled. It was quite amusing to tease him occasionally. People shouldn't lose their individuality even when expressing affection for others.

If she only tries to please everyone, how is she any different from being a tool? A little rebellion now and then—that's what makes her who she is.

Although the topic has gone a bit off track, this matter is indeed not to be ignored. Yu Wei's performance on the show has always been so positive.

This has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it creates a strong personal style, and the label can quickly establish the singer's recognition and reduce the cognitive cost for the audience.

For example, the terms "Prince of Love Songs" and "Queen of Iron Lungs" are used to deepen the audience's impression through symbolism...

Labeling facilitates capital operations, and capital tends to invest in singers with clear styles. Labels like "positive energy" are favored not only by capital but also by higher-ups.

However, the drawbacks are also obvious: labels can easily narrow the creative vision, and the audience will gradually experience aesthetic fatigue.

No matter how amazing a singer is, if they always sing the same style of songs, people will eventually get tired of it and get bored of the songs.

Labels are both tools and shackles. Other singers can stay in their comfort zones, but Yu Wei doesn't have one...

He's not good at anything, but theoretically he can sing anything. In this case, there's really no need to label himself, otherwise everyone will start to think he's a professional positive role model.

Just as Yu Wei was pondering how to break free from stereotypes, he suddenly received five messages in a row, all from Qi Luoan.

"what?"

The phone call is still going on. If there's something you can't say in person but have to send a message, it can't be some embarrassing little secret, right?

Qi Luoan didn't say it directly, but kept urging him to look. Yu Wei clicked on it and found that there were five screenshots.

The above are all comments and posts praising his new song, and they are all very representative.

"The part where the voice cracked was the most shocking for me. It gave me goosebumps. Anyone else feel the same way?"

So where exactly is the world filled with flowers?

"Dreams don't shine; it's you who shine when you chase them."

"You can't say this song is particularly high-quality, but once you start listening, you can completely immerse yourself in it. Yu Wei still gives it a thumbs up."

This page is mostly filled with discussions from netizens, sharing their thoughts and feelings about the song, showing that everyone really likes it.

It's no surprise that Yu Wei's song "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" became a hit. The song is memorable and touching, making it both critically acclaimed and commercially successful.

Having watched entertainment news for so many years, he rarely sees negative reviews for this song; at most, people say they're "tired of it" or "don't get it."

The evaluations from ordinary listeners were superficial, but the analyses from several fellow musicians were more insightful, including one from Professor Meng Han.

[Music critic Li Wan: "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" fills the long-standing void of passionate core in domestic rock. Unlike critical rock, it abandons anger and obscurity, instead reconstructing the musical language of idealism with a screaming expression of "rather than lingering on, burn brightly."]
[Producer Zhang Yafei: No need for profundity, just sincerity. This "imperfect yet extremely sincere" performance is precisely Yu Wei's return to the essence of music, replacing technical virtuosity with pure vitality.]
[Meng Han: Awesome!]
It has to be the veteran artist who speaks concisely and to the point…

Actually, Yu Wei's song surprised the industry, because there have been very few original singers doing this kind of popular rock in recent years.

Many rock musicians only want to create niche celebrations within their own circles, and their songs are generally not appreciated by the general public except for rock enthusiasts.

Meng Han's "Hou Yi" is an epitome of self-contained rock music. Outsiders can only see the word "impressive," but if you ask what makes it impressive, few people can explain it clearly.

The beauty of this song, "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart," lies in proving the most primal power of music. Technology can give way to sincerity, and a pure heart is enough to break through the barriers of time.

Musicians and media outlets often use exaggerated language to generate buzz and create hype. People usually say that netizens are stirring up trouble, but these industry insiders are even more ruthless in doing so.

It's all about youthful passion and timelessness; some even go so far as to call it a spiritual totem...

They dare to praise Yu Wei but he wouldn't dare to agree, yet netizens love to watch this and actively echo it in the comments section.

One by one, they were all sent to Yu Wei's praise group!
"Have you finished reading? I have more here."

Qi Luoan really enjoys watching these kinds of things. Although Yu Wei is indeed very capable from a rational perspective, one shouldn't blindly praise him.

However, from an emotional perspective, Yu Weiqi Luo An is happy when others praise her, after all, she was the first person to unearth the treasure...

It's incredibly pleasant to feel that others also like what you like.

"You were also exiled... oh no, you're the group admin."

Yu Wei thought she was joking, but unexpectedly Qi Luoan actually sent over a few pictures. This time, the scale was much larger, as they were published by state media.

In the vibrant garden of literature and art in the new era, the song "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" broke the dawn like a thunderclap, singing the powerful voice of the times for those who strive with its fervent melody and burning faith!

Yu Wei used music as a clarion call to awaken dormant courage; he used songs as a torch to ignite the light of hope in the hearts of millions.

His artistic creations have always been rooted in the people and celebrated struggle, interpreting the mission and responsibility of literary and artistic workers with the purest positive energy—letting every sincere heart burn brightly in the journey of the times!
Yu Wei is truly at a loss now. The official team has designated him as a positive role model singer, and they really want him to go further and further down the path of inspiration... "No, the next episode has to be a bit more depressing."

Stereotypes are meant to be broken!
There's nothing wrong with endorsing the official sources, but Yu Wei just doesn't want to be labeled. Stereotypes are undesirable, and he still wants to broaden his horizons while he's still young.

The next day, "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" had become a huge hit. While Yu Wei was washing up, she scrolled through some short videos, and three or four out of ten videos featured this song, plus a cover version.

A quick search revealed that the song was even used as background music in a video by CCTV News. With official backing, it's no wonder it's so popular.

The aerial camera pans across the winding outline of the Great Wall, the morning light piercing through the clouds, then switches to a scene of railway workers on the plateau inspecting the tracks in the cold wind, their frozen red hands contrasting sharply with their resolute eyes.

In the laboratory, young researchers stare intently at the microscope, the solution in the test tube shimmering faintly; a choir of left-behind children sings in a mountain village classroom, the camera zooming in on the rolling mountains outside the window…

The song "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" combined with the visuals creates an indescribable sense of conviction, which is truly unmatched by other background music.

Yu Wei silently gave it a thumbs up, her feelings somewhat complicated.

The song had a good outcome, but it's also true that it's been labeled. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages, and removing the label is urgent.

Let's start with an abstract approach.

Yu Wei was eagerly awaiting the new chapter, and after Chen Chen's excellent performance, Su Jian, who was a little nervous, went on stage.

Everyone thought they were going to experience noise pollution, but to their surprise, he started yelling strangely on stage.

“One giao I giaogiao”

Su Jian's video was sent over at noon that day, and it was more than thirty minutes long. Of course, he couldn't last three hours; that would have been too grueling.

"Boss, will it really become popular? I feel so embarrassed..."

"You're about to collapse, why would you care about this?"

Yu Wei clicked to listen and almost laughed himself to death at Su Jian's vivid singing. This kind of nonsense can't be listened to by only him. He must let the readers taste it later!

He casually copied it to Qi Luoan, only to receive a question mark in less than three seconds.

What did the readers do to offend you?

"Go ahead and post it. You keep saying I'm fabricating history, so today I'll show you some real history."

Yu Wei updated the new chapter with a hint of schadenfreude, and then immediately posted a bonus chapter and sent out polls and comments.

Su Jian theoretically has no chance of winning, but it's uncertain whether readers will enjoy this abstract concept; what if they do...?

If anyone was paying the most attention to Su Jian's performance at this moment, it would definitely be Chen Chen, his opponent. Although this guy's singing skills were terrible, it's worth noting that he called Yu Wei "boss".

This relationship is something to be wary of, after all, Yu Wei is the kind of person who can lead ordinary people to compete in the singing competition on the show, who knows if he will lend a helping hand.

Upon seeing the new chapter and the bonus chapter, she didn't even bother to vote for herself; instead, she first clicked on Su Jian's performance song, "Giao."

The song title was meaningless; she had no idea what it was. Chen Chen clicked on the video and heard no instruments or accompaniment, only a nervous cough.

Is this really so poorly made? Even if the competition doesn't exist, there are still so many readers who want to watch it. This is far too amateurish and can't compare to her videos at all.

It feels like it's in the bag...

Just as she was frowning and anticipating the melody of the song, Su Jian seemed to have made up her mind and suddenly said, "One giao I goo giao giao."

what is this?
Chen Chen was completely caught off guard as Su Jian continued singing, without changing the lyrics, just repeating the same line over and over.

“One giao I giaogiao”

"..."

What the hell is this?
In the video, Su Jian sang for about ten times before finally letting loose, each "giao" becoming sharper than the last, and she gradually began to enjoy it.

Chen Chen, who had just clicked on the video, and a group of readers were left stunned in place.

What kind of number is this?
This stuff can't be called music at all, although it's strangely catchy. Even after they leave the video, the words keep echoing in their ears...

"I'm dying of laughter, they actually dare to participate in the competition?"

"Don't laugh at the challenge, I lost."

"Is this guy joking? I've never seen him do this kind of abstract style before."

Because Su Jian was featured in the novel, some readers who had nothing better to do still searched for him.

A male idol group member with no outstanding qualities; besides being decent-looking, he has nothing else to offer and no sense of humor whatsoever.

How could someone so rigid create something so abstract? Anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that this is Yu Wei's "Pointing the Way"...

This morning, everyone was shocked by the official praise of Yu Wei, with state media personally praising him as a positive role model singer.

Before the video's popularity had died down, Yu Wei started causing trouble again.

You call this a positive energy singer?
　Happy Qixi Festival everyone! Take a rest tonight, organize the remaining plot, and I'll be challenging myself to update frequently in the next two days until September.
