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

“You’re an idealist, I’m a realist, and Yu Wei’s estimate is pretty much correct.”

Lin Puyan and Meng Han stared at the three songs in front of them. It would be a lie to say they weren't nervous at all. After all, these were their carefully prepared works, and it would be too disheartening to be crushed by Yu Wei...

Sometimes you have to admit that this kid is too intimidating; even a righteous two-on-one situation has to be handled with caution.

"Listen first, then we'll talk."

Meng Han was in a slightly better position, since he wasn't the one singing the song, so winning or losing didn't really matter. Seeing that Lin Puyan had no objections, he directly clicked on Yu Wei's video.

Almost instantly, a clear and lively piano prelude began, with a lively R&B rhythm that was exceptionally simple and bright.

The two exchanged a glance and unconsciously sighed simultaneously. This unconventional prelude had already won by far too much...

Unlike Meng Han's song, which is immersed in a melancholic atmosphere, or Lin Puyan's song, which is realistic, this song is light and pleasant to listen to, with a touch of urban chic, and strangely, a kind of warmth that returns to simplicity.

Unlike the previous two songs, "Our Song" is not heavy; it even carries a touch of joy.

Surprise began to grow from that moment on.

"I've heard it a hundred times.
I never get tired of listening to it

Sing from day till night

You've always been there for me.

I thought Wang Er's style would be the same as "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales"—showy, bold, and full of righteousness—but I was surprised to find that his voice was relaxed, textured, and had a smile on it.

The voice is still the same, but the singing style is much gentler, even with a breathy quality.

The first line of the lyrics is like a precise key, unlocking a shared sensory memory.

Who doesn't have a song they've listened to a hundred times and never get tired of?

The opening line gets straight to the point: isn't this exactly what every listener's relationship with their favorite songs is like? Listening to a song on repeat is an almost obsessive form of love.

The lyrics are not obscure at all, and are even so straightforward that they seem like a pointless statement, but when combined with the smooth and slightly syncopated melody, they create a magical chemical reaction.

It describes a state, and the listener can immediately put themselves into that state...

"If the world is too dangerous
Only music is the safest
Take me into the dream

May all the lyrics come true.

Meng Han couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, these four lines were practically a declaration dedicated to all those who seek solace in music.

"Music is the safest thing"—a simple yet incredibly solid truth.

In the face of a chaotic and noisy reality, a pair of headphones and a melody are an absolutely safe haven.

Yu Wei gently wrapped the almost magical healing power of music in slightly fairytale-like phrases such as "entering the dream" and "making the lyrics come true".

Hearing this, he had already given his initial approval to the song. It seems that Yu Wei's musical philosophy is similar to his own; both seek solace in music.

The arrangement maintains a clean and crisp structure, with light drumbeats, bouncy bass lines, and well-placed harmonies embellishing the background. Everything serves the vocals and paves the way for the emotions conveyed.

Then, the chorus begins.

There are no sudden, soaring screams, but rather a fuller, more uplifting emotional release, with a melodic note that is frighteningly memorable.

"Lovers always divide and reunite

But our love grows deeper and deeper

Knowing you makes my happiness so delightful.

This time it was Lin Puyan's turn to be shocked. Using the adjective "pleasant to the ear" here was simply a stroke of genius!
Happiness is sweet and fulfilling, but the word "pleasant to the ear" immediately and tightly connects the abstract emotion with the essence of the song.

He had been wondering what kind of song Yu Wei would use as the theme song for "Top Idol," but now he understands.

Yu Wei's song is about the relationship between the listener and the song, a close love that contrasts with the ups and downs of lovers, yet grows ever deeper.

This is Yu Wei's confidence; he wants everyone to never forget his songs...

If this was still just speculation, then the next line of lyrics turned Lin Puyan's doubts into certainty.

"Can you please not change the song?"
Keep singing our song

Let the感动 (feeling of being moved) be remembered for a lifetime.

They've stopped acting; the message at the end of the chorus is so simple, yet so heartfelt.

"Don't skip the song" refers both to this listening relationship and to "Top Idol" itself.
“Singing our songs” is an invitation, inviting everyone to listen to our songs, read our novels, compose together, and share the melody.

The lyrics are ingeniously designed, meeting the requirements of a music variety show theme song and allowing Yu Wei to communicate with the audience through the song itself.

The metaphor runs throughout, seamlessly integrated, and without any forced connection. The two people in front of the screen exchanged a glance, their surprise and admiration evident in their expressions.

The lyrics of this song are like a "meta-poem" about lyrics.

The song's compositional skills are beyond question; it is smooth and melodious to the extreme, yet it doesn't have the cheap feel of a typical pop song. The sophisticated R&B rhythm wraps around a sincere confession, achieving a beautiful balance between popularity, artistry, and sincerity.

"Damn it, this kid thinks it's a waste to sing this song on its own and wants to find a cushion for it, right?" Lin Puyan finally understood. The so-called friendly match was just a stage that Yu Wei specially set up for this song. He had fallen into the trap!
"You chose to go yourself, so who can you blame?"

Meng Han smiled but didn't say anything. Luckily, he wasn't stubborn. Although his son lost, at least Uncle Lin had stepped in to support him, so it wasn't shameful.

It can only be said that Yu Wei's song is indeed of high quality. It is not only of excellent quality, but also serves as a theme song very well. Being able to do this already speaks volumes about his skill.

"Who's like you? Even if I lose, I'll lose standing up."

It wasn't that Lin Puyan wanted to lose standing up, but that it was too late for him to run away now. At this moment, escaping was probably a joke.

Their "surprise" stemmed from a complete subversion of their expectations; this was not a love song, but a musical exploration.

Meng Han was amazed by how Yu Wei seamlessly blended cold electronic music with warm acoustic instruments, and amazed that he could make complex musical techniques sound so popular and pleasant.

Classical, R&B, Funk, Electronic, Acapella...

It uses the listening behavior of "repeatedly listening to a song"—a behavior most familiar to modern people—as its core image, constructing a self-referential and philosophically rich system.

The lyrics are highly condensed poems, and every line is worth savoring.

The song itself has become the "our song" that it praises, a song that "will move you for a lifetime."

Of course, they lost not only in terms of song quality, but also in terms of song resonance. Yu Wei's song is definitely more appealing than the other two songs.

It's obvious that their songs are just their own, but Yu Wei's song is truly "our song".

Even their songs can be included, because the core theme of this song is harmony in diversity.

Music is an emotional language that everyone can resonate with, and their songs are no exception.

"Our Song" unfolds from the audience's perspective. In terms of its concept, it is unsolvable. As long as it is a song, it will fall into the scope of its discussion.

Once he realized this, Yu Wei's musical philosophy became clear: he was not doing it out of passion or for reality, but to record and witness.

His songs are not ideals, nor are they about life; they are carriers of memories that transcend time and space.

As the lyrics say, "All the beautiful memories are recorded inside," this song is not only a declaration of personal artistic views, but also a testament to the emotions of a generation.

He records music, and also the emotions between music and the audience, a concept that resonates with Yu Wei's identity as an author.

Rather than saying that Yu Wei's ideals are higher, it would be more accurate to say that he is unique. Looking at the entire music scene, there is probably no musician whose ideal is to record.

Just as Meng Han and Lin Puyan had predicted, "Our Song" completely outshone their song in terms of resonance and popularity.

This song is light and cheerful, with a catchy melody and easy-to-remember lyrics, making it easy to leave an impression on listeners. In comparison, their songs are still a bit niche.

It might have a unique flavor when savored late at night, but it's clearly not an advantage in a competition.

However, "Record Shop" and "Counting Coins Alone After the Show" also received unanimous praise from netizens, and these two original songs are equally excellent.

They were at the level of "defeat with honor," losing only because they encountered Yu Wei; they could easily beat anyone else.

"What record or witness? Bro, is this song for that reason?"

Seeing the increasingly profound comments from netizens, Qi Luoan glanced at Yu Wei beside her, thinking, "Don't over-interpret it again."

"I could be the one."

Let everyone say what they want; actually, Yu Wei just chose a song from her second brother's works that was suitable as a theme song.

But everyone is right about one thing: he did write the book to record his experiences. Someone like him, who has no talent and is a complete failure, couldn't possibly be doing it to make money.

For the average person, the idea of ​​dreaming of being an author or loving stories is unrealistic. He tried writing simply because he was feeling stifled...

I have such wild imaginations, and my head is full of wild ideas that I can't share with anyone, so I decided to write them down.

He's been writing for a while now. Netizens say his musical philosophy is to record, which is definitely not true, but if his creative philosophy is to record, then Yu Wei would admit it.

The process was completely wrong, but the result was correct.

Meng Han and Lin Puyan said it was for ideals and reality, but without a doubt, they are both geniuses, just with different starting points.

For ordinary people, the so-called philosophy is to take things one step at a time and find a balance between life and passion.

"Alright, I should start recording something new."

Based on the readers' comments, Yu Wei began writing the second chapter for today, revealing the Easter egg in the song through the voice of the protagonist, Wei Yu…

"Easter eggs?"

Qi Luoan, who was watching from the side, didn't understand what it meant. She had already listened to it three times, so how come she couldn't find any Easter eggs?

It would be a miracle if she could even hear the Easter egg; apart from Yu Wei, probably no one else would have noticed those two lines of English lyrics.

"You can prepare to send me that defeat CG now."

He was afraid of getting too much criticism from netizens, so he posted a picture of himself dying, hoping it would attract some attention. (End of Chapter)
