Huayu: Were you ever a top star before writing nonsense?

Chapter 174: Red Songs + Chinese Style, Please Accept My Admiration!

Blue Phoenix Company Office.

Shen Can was unaware of what had happened at Hansheng Law Firm; he was chatting with his senior, Yang Rong, on QQ.

Just now, Yang Rong sent him a QQ message.

Rumor has it that this woman loves to sleep in, and it's only 9:30 in the morning, which is considered very early for someone who loves to sleep in.

She really made me cry my eyes out.

"Junior, how much of what you said in that blog post is true?"

Shen Can raised an eyebrow.

In 07, QQ chat could not send voice messages, but Shen Can could hear the "flirting" in Yang Rong's words.

Some mischievous older sisters, taking advantage of their greater experience than their younger brothers, enjoy teasing them.

Doing this seems to bring them a strange kind of pleasure, similar to how some experienced female drivers like to tease Xiao Chu Nan. With a little skill, they can even seduce Xiao Chu Nan into a clingy, shrewd way.

Of course, they would only do this if they were interested in little brothers.

If they're not interested, they'll become very aloof.

Many things between men and women either require modeling or spending gold coins.

Shen Can had encountered many similar situations and was experienced.

What Yang Rong really wanted to ask wasn't "how much truth is in the blog," but rather, "Hey, handsome little brother, let's put everything else aside for now, let me tease you a bit, let me have some fun."

To answer this, you can't say "Of course it's perfect," because that would sound cheesy and unoriginal.

It's also best not to answer "You're only worth 0 points," as that kind of straight-man response lacks any artistry.

so----

Shen Canle's heart was restless, and he typed a line on the keyboard.

"Senior, I'm so sorry to have made you ask that question. It must be because I didn't show enough sincerity, making you feel that my heart wasn't true enough. I will definitely work harder to make you feel my love. This world is so big, and it's not easy to meet you, so I will cherish it."

This phrasing can also be used to answer a woman's most pressing question—"How much do you love me?"

They're not asking how much you love her; they're just sensing that you don't love her as much as you used to.

Yang Rong replied quickly: "??? Are you crazy?"

But on the other side of Shanghai, she was complaining: "Damn, little brothers aren't fun, it's all about the experienced drivers."

In reality, she didn't believe that Shen Can, this amusing person, would become obsessed with her after just one meeting.

It's highly likely that Shen Can, having run out of material for this gossip post, targeted her instead.

However, to be honest, she was actually quite grateful.

Since Shen Can started her blog, the number of visits to her blog has skyrocketed, and the number of comments has also increased.

"A greedy person pays respects to the fifth Miss Can, the naturally adorable and holy Consort Rong."

"Sister Yang Rong, you are so beautiful."

"Shen Can has good taste."

"Shen Can isn't a girl who likes to dance. He's just a lecher. He only likes pretty girls."

"I'm here first, I'll call out first—Wife!"

'

As the saying goes, even if someone is criticized, they are still considered famous, and besides, Shen Can didn't criticize her at all.

Only titles like "Fifth Sister-in-Law Can" and "Consort Rong" are a bit jarring, but it doesn't really matter.

Yang Rong found it very satisfying to gain popularity without spending any money.

She immediately changed the subject.

"Thank you for today."

"It's only right to reciprocate," Shen Can replied.

"Want to hook up?" Yang Rong was tempted to tease Shen Can again. She didn't believe that a younger brother who was not even twenty years old could be that difficult.

"What do you want to discuss first?"

"Of course it's a dinner invitation. What are you thinking?"

Don't fall for it.

"I was thinking of inviting you to dinner, but I'm busy right now, let's do it another day."

"Okay, let me know when you have time. You've done me such a big favor, I have to show my appreciation."

One was very busy, and the other was laid-back; they didn't continue their conversation in depth and quickly ended it.

This made Shen Can understand even more why this woman had always been a "perennial supporting actress".

For a girl who wants to improve herself, wouldn't you want to take advantage of the situation?

This wasn't Shen Can being confident; he believed that with his current popularity, creating a scandal with someone would indeed bring a lot of attention to the woman.

But then again...

He actually liked Yang Rong's personality; she knew exactly what she wanted, which was a rare talent.

Being "lazy" or "Buddhist-like" is also a lifestyle.

If it weren't for the pressures of life, who would be willing to work like a beast of burden, where even sleeping in is a luxury?

Sometimes, some things can't be forced. It's better to be more easygoing. Reality is cruel; if you want something, you have to give something in return.

At the same time, Shen Can also understood why some people in the industry coveted Yang Rong.

Because of her "tolerant" and "magnanimous" nature, and her Buddhist-like personality, once you conquer her, you will gain both physical and spiritual pleasure.

What's that saying again? — What you can't have is always the most alluring.

It's as if there are always people trying to lure respectable women into prostitution.

at the same time.

On major music platforms, the song "A Century of Humanity" is still climbing the charts.

However, judging from the lively discussion in the song review section, it is no surprise that Shen Can has produced another hit song.

Many music critics were speechless, wondering how this person could create such a hit every time they released a song.

Are you in the business of wholesaling trending products?

Don't you have even one or two decent songs? The way you're doing this is making our job very difficult.

We write songs praising you every day; you might not get tired of it, but we certainly do.

Can we try something different?

Moreover, unlike Shen Can's previous songs, "A Century of Humanity" can indeed be considered a "red song".

Although its original song was not a revolutionary song but a fan song, Shen Can gave "A Century of Humanity" a special meaning by pairing it with film clips of Mr. and martyrs.

It has become a song full of the spirit of the Red Revolution!

These days, there are still many anti-China voices online, and many media outlets and magazines promote the beauty of foreign countries and the character of foreigners, such as the spirit of contracts, the meticulousness of Germans, the etiquette of Japanese people, various Japanese immortals, the happy education of Americans, etc. — all things that future generations will laugh when they think about them.

But many people genuinely believe it.

If you dare to say you love red, you'll be attacked to the point of quitting the internet, having your account exposed, or even being personally assaulted.

Many teenagers have also been affected. Shen Can's song is like a hero going against the tide, bravely moving forward in the wind and rain, letting the insults come like a tide, wanting to set things right!

Such unfavorable situations are usually extremely difficult and hard to win, but he firmly believed that he could succeed, and judging from the feedback of the song data, it seemed that he could win.

Beijing.

Music critics often struggle to write music reviews, but Gao Yuanyuan doesn't have that problem.

At this moment, she was sitting with her legs crossed, holding a cup of warm milk tea, browsing the comments on "A Century of Humanity" on QQ Music.

"When I was a child, I didn't understand. What was the difference between him and the emperors of ancient times when they were both establishing a country? Later, I would often see some of the things he said unintentionally, and I felt that he was not quite the same as what I had thought before."

So I started to learn about his life and gradually understood what he was doing. That's when I realized that a lot of the publicity was not just hype; he was really doing something great that was beyond my previous understanding.

Since then, looking around, the world has changed, and all I see is his unfinished regret.

There's nothing in this world he can't do; he just doesn't have the time.

We still have time, and we must believe that one day we will be able to do it.

At the same time, I'm very happy to finally see a younger generation of singers writing songs about him.

"The gentleman is not a harmless idol; he is the greatest fighter."

"In this person's eyes, the world is small, and the enemy is even smaller."

—Liu Cixin, *Supernova Era*

"A rare popular song praising the gentleman and the martyrs, and it is very well composed."

"Sir, you're amazing! The martyrs were amazing! This song is amazing! Shen Can is amazing too!"

"Shen Can is a celebrity, but he's more like a cultural worker. The difference is that cultural workers change social values ​​through their writings, while Shen Can does it through his songs!"

"My impression of you is, sir, is that there really such a person in the world? Yes, there really is such a person in the world."

Now, Shen Can is starting to give me the same feeling. Although Brother Can's achievements are insignificant compared to Mr. [referring to a certain person], I imagine Mr. [referring to a certain person] would be very happy if he knew that such a handsome young man would appear in the future.

The situation also caused an uproar within the music industry, sparking heated discussions in various industry groups.

This song is different from Shen Can's previous songs. It is a song that Shen Can released even though there is no related plot in the novel.

In other words, this song did not generate any anticipation among book fans beforehand.

But it still became a hit.

In groups like most music creators, many people felt like their brains were exploding.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the spectacle, while experts see the details.

They were deeply shocked.

"So, pop music can be played like this?"

"A Century in the Human World" contains elements of traditional Chinese opera singing and the guzheng (a traditional Chinese zither), and can be categorized as a Chinese-style song.

However, this song also praises the teachers and martyrs, so it is no exaggeration to call it a revolutionary song.

In the Chinese entertainment industry, this kind of song is rare, and some people have never even seen it before.

Chinese style + revolutionary songs?

It can be said that Shen Can has embarked on a new path.

Some young musicians couldn't help but send messages like crazy in the group. They are still young and not as steady as the older and more experienced musicians.

Only strength matters!

"Shen Can is awesome!!"

"Chanjin, I'm bowing down in complete submission!"

"I'm fucking impressed! Shen Can is clearly a heretical cultivator, but the songs he sings feel incredibly righteous to me!"

"Can someone tell me what style this is? Can you explain it to me? I can't find any similar songs at all."

""

"How many years has the Chinese style been popular? This is the first time I've ever seen a Chinese-style revolutionary song. It's truly an eye-opener."

97

"First he combined calligraphy with Chinese style, and now he's doing revolutionary songs with Chinese style—amazing!"

"Shen Can has already reached the peak of Luo Dayou's talent! Humanistic reflections, love songs, folk songs—he can effortlessly create huge hits!!"

"This song has taken pop music to new heights."

"Other people's 20s are legendary in the music industry; my 20s are just... this dish is delicious, this game is fun, and this girl is fucking hot!"

Some people are also discussing how to learn the style of "A Hundred Years of Humanity".

The masses are gluttonous, and the market is thirsty.

Just like with novels, the emergence of a new theme can support a large number of authors.

The same goes for songs.

The emergence of a new genre of music can also support many musicians.

If listeners are so captivated by "A Century of Humanity," they will not be satisfied with just one song.

As long as we follow the trend quickly enough and our work can maintain a certain level of quality, we can ride on Shen Can's popularity!

But soon, many musicians discovered...

"We can't keep up, we simply can't keep up."

"Creating revolutionary songs is extremely difficult, especially when you add a Chinese style to them!"

Listening to "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles: The Human World" as a piece of pop music isn't difficult, but listening to it as a revolutionary song is quite challenging.

Musicians have also discovered a sad fact.

"Who among you dares to brave the overwhelming criticism from public intellectuals and certain media outlets and single-mindedly pursue fame?"

Just then, Gao Yuanyuan posted a blog post.

This popular goddess, who once stopped updating her blog due to the "mistress" controversy, has visibly increased the frequency of her blog posts since meeting Shen Can.

"My good friend Shen Can's latest song is really good, I recommend it to everyone."

Her fans felt something was wrong after seeing the blog post.

When "Sorrow" was published, Gao Yuanyuan posted a recommendation blog.

When the "Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion" was published, Gao Yuanyuan also posted a blog recommending it.

Well, I can understand "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion" since Gao Yuanyuan played the female lead in the music video.

But if Shen Can releases a new song this time, will she release another one?

Is this even right?

Perhaps the goddess's love-struck mind is acting up again.

Some fans immediately commented: "Sister Yuanyuan, we're just saying, can you please quit Shen Can's addiction?"

"Oh no, Sister Yuanyuan is addicted to Shen Can."

"My dear sister, who is so infatuated with talented men, how can I save you?"

"I hate it! Why am I not Shen Can?!"

Tangren Media.

Cai Yinong's chest heaved as she exclaimed, "Shen Can is truly a master of marketing."

Industry insiders are probably mostly focused on the fact that Shen Can's song has become popular again, and that the song is very well written.

She is different.

She saw that Shen Can had used a rather clever marketing tactic throughout the whole affair.

"Leverage marketing!"

This refers to a marketing tactic that utilizes various means and external forces and resources when internal resources or conditions are insufficient.

"He was criticized by anti-China intellectuals after posting the photos, which was probably unexpected for him, but he keenly realized that this was a good opportunity to use the situation to market himself."

He first posted an article angrily criticizing public intellectuals, turning the tables and escalating the situation by using his verbal battle with them to attract more attention from netizens.

It's hilarious how celebrities are clashing with public intellectuals! The unprecedented level of online discussion proves this.

Then, he struck while the iron was hot and released a song —

"Roar—a seemingly crazy boy, but actually a cunning one."

Tsai Yinong murmured to herself.

She thought for a moment, then picked up her phone and called Shishi.

After the call connected, Cai Yinong bluntly told Shi Shi, "I've found you someone to create a scandal for. Coincidentally, he likes pretty dancing ladies the most."

Shishi: "————"
