Why bother writing songs? Fast forward to the "Don't Laugh Challenge"

Chapter 40 Breakthroughs in Succession!

If "Don't Let Love Wither" is just a few hums and a few lines, and not clear enough, then the same goes for "Mandarin Ducks DJ Version." The sound has been over-processed, and you can clearly hear that it's been over-electric, and the operatic singing is too heavily masked.

In this song "Still", there is no excessive processing; the original sound is preserved in its entirety, and it belongs to the pop singing style.
That familiar breathing sound, that familiar resonance, and that familiar vocalization and enunciation habit, and the habit of preferring to sing using the sphenoid sinus and the back of the nasal cavity.
Besides Zhou Yumeng, he could no longer hear the voice of anyone else.

Even imitations can't capture this similar feeling and singing voice!

So, there's basically only one conclusion, which is also the final conclusion Xiao Zhongge came to after listening to music for more than ten years and studying countless music theories on his own: that is, YuM who always collaborates with Xia Shen is Zhou Yumeng!

My lord!

He then opened the song's comment section and started scrolling down to find comments from people who were basically like him.

"It turns out that electronic music and Mandarin Chinese go together better."

"My God, is this really an electronic music track that can appear in China? If it weren't for the fact that it's sung in Chinese, I would have thought it was a new song from one of the top 100 DJs."

"No good works? Why are there so few people?"

"It's better if it doesn't become popular, so we can listen to it quietly. If it becomes popular, it will become too common and that won't be good."

"I played this song in the classroom, and my classmates said: 'What kind of DJ is this? It's not exciting at all!' Sigh!"

"After listening to it once, I was amazed. Then I looked at the author again, and I thought I was hallucinating. I rubbed my eyes and looked again, and holy crap! It really is him! So what exactly did he go through? He's clearly a talented producer, why did he have to do that kind of defense?"

"Is it possible that because no one listens to serious things, they just follow the market and make things more popular? There's no way around it, everyone has to make a living, and sometimes ideals can't compete with hunger."

"That voice... Zhou Yumeng??"

After a long while, Xiao Zhongge had reached the side of the street. Looking at the playground not far away, he saw several female students wearing JK uniforms and black stockings recording a dance on a mobile phone stand, their figures swaying.

"Oh, my little love, don't worry~, my life is only for you to hold my sleeve~"

After three rounds of wine, the moon hangs high in the sky, and my heart is filled with a sense of peace.

If Xiao Zhongge had seen this scene in the past, he would have simply glanced down at the jailer and walked away disdainfully, expressing utter contempt for the current situation.

But looking back now, it's actually not bad. The masses have their own entertainment, and just because the songs they listen to are different from others doesn't really make them any different. We're all human, living on the same campus, that's all.

Then look down at the music player on your phone.

Perhaps people really misunderstand Xia Shen, and the misunderstanding is huge.

Perhaps, listening to music is just listening to music, and we shouldn't give it too much thought, much less develop any contempt for anyone because of it. After all, people can't even empathize with themselves for a minute, let alone be wary of becoming the kind of person you once looked down on.

Xiao Zhongge shook his head and left. He bought some late-night snacks and went home, no longer getting caught up in his own internal struggles. Of course, he still didn't tell anyone what was playing in his headphones.

At least for now, he is not ready to completely change in front of everyone. Perhaps the opportunity will come in the future, but it will definitely not be now.

Time slips by quietly
With the premiere of "The Legend of Immortals and Demons" becoming a huge hit without any major scandals, it immediately became the hottest topic on the entire internet.

It repeatedly topped the trending search lists, the plot was discussed by many, the actors became very popular, and various clips were edited into videos and circulated on short video platforms.

Of course, as a participant in the production of the original content, Zhou Yumeng also rode this wave of popularity, and her fame accumulated rapidly.

The show "Treasure Voice" had already established a certain level of fame for her, and with the premiere of the TV series, it directly boosted the popularity of several songs featured in the series, bringing Zhou Yumeng a great deal of buzz.

"Ahhhhhh, Zhou Yumeng is really amazing! Every song in this drama is so good!!"

"Now that it's episode twelve, they've changed the opening sequence. Who would have thought that the feeling of redemption when 'Preference' started playing would be so overwhelming? It's practically unfair!"

"Let yesterday be null and void." This song immediately drew me in. It's really perfect for Lin Fan and Xiao Ya. Although we are an immortal and a demon, natural enemies, I am willing to give up everything for you. I will not retreat once I fall in love with you, sob sob.

"After all, when everyone saw Lin Fan as a monster, an ominous sign, and a jinx, only Xiao Ya, whom he picked up, treated him unconditionally well and even saved him during an assassination attempt. But why is it that one of them is a celestial being and the other a demon?!"

"My eyes were almost blind from crying. From 'Preference' to the moment the ending theme song 'Unspeakable Longing' started playing, it really felt like the two people's story had formed a closed loop."

Just like the lyrics say, if beautiful women hadn't had such tragic fates, would there be any legends in this world? If a moth, born to fly into the flame, dares not, what makes its destiny so magnificent?
Then, combined with the scene of Xiaoya falling into the Demon Suppression Tower with tears streaming down her face, and Lin Fan's despair, it really made me burst into tears.

Is this fate? It's so disheartening.

"Although Lin Fan ascended the throne and became the new ruler of the Immortal Dynasty on that day, he also lost the person he loved most."

"Has anyone noticed something? The song 'Midnight Heading to Morning' is so weird! How did it end up in this show?! Isn't that Xia Shen's corny, highbrow song? How come it's sung by Zhou Yumeng in the drama??"
Besides, this isn't the original version, is it? The DJ version is from earlier, isn't it? If this is the original version, then what DJ version am I listening to?

"I have to say, this song doesn't feel out of place in the song. It perfectly matches the scene of Lin Fan driving before he time-travels. Then, while driving, he suddenly gets lucky and time-travels. He can't hold back anymore. It really is like driving towards the midnight of the morning."

"The Years" is also great! The quality of this soundtrack is just too high!"

"As expected of July Records, the production quality is top-notch."

Several songs from "The Legend of Immortals and Demons" have been discussed one after another, and their popularity on the Internet remains high.

Consequently, the data also began to climb at an alarming rate!
First up is "Preference," which immediately topped the charts on major music streaming platforms! It firmly held the number one spot!
With the combined reach of streaming media and short and long video platforms, the number of listens and views exceeded 5.2 million!
Secondly, there's "The Years," which also surpassed 500 million views on the third day after "Preference" reached 500 million views!
Then came "Midnight on the Way to Morning" and "Unspeakable Longing," both of which surpassed 500 million views.
Finally, after a series of breakthroughs, some people panicked, because outsiders might not know what it means for these songs to reach 500 million views, but some people do!

Things are serious!
