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

After signing the contract with Xu Xinran, Shen Can officially began his life of going back and forth between two points.

In order to finish producing the song as soon as possible, he directly asked his supervisor for a week's leave.

In this respect, art schools are very lax in their management.

As long as you're doing something legitimate, like filming, appearing on shows, or something like Shen Can where you don't have time to attend classes because of your future career development, it's not difficult to ask for leave.

It's worth mentioning that Shen Can has stopped updating his novel due to being too busy.

But it certainly doesn't mean castrating oneself to become a eunuch.

He was waiting; he was preparing a major move.

I plan to resume writing the novel after his song is officially released.

At that time, the popularity points in the system will increase rapidly, and when he sets up rewards for the protagonist again, he can redeem them all at once.

……

Days passed by, and busy days always seem to fly by.

The date is March 24st.

The China Internet Conference was held in Beijing, with Kai-Fu Lee, Charles Zhang, Ma Huateng, and others in attendance. The conference focused on topics such as the Internet GG model, 3G technology, and online communities.

Meanwhile, this day was also the day the Shanghai Theatre Academy's Acting Department held its welcome party, specifically at 7 p.m.

At 5:10 PM, in male dormitory 609.

Ke Qingchuan paced excitedly, as if he were a groom on his own wedding day.

"Brother Can, you're showing off again. This time, you have to do something big and outdo that show-off, Pu Bajia."

He's already figured out how he'll show off to girls in the future.

"You know Shen Can? He's my buddy. His singing is even better than that champion from the talent show, Pu Bajia! Isn't that amazing?"

—It makes you feel very prestigious.

Shen Can shook his head, not wanting to pay any attention to this guy.

Could you perhaps broaden your perspective a little?

"Pubaja is not qualified to be my opponent," Shen Can said.

Ke Qingchuan and Wang Teng looked at Shen Can in surprise.

So confident?

Shen Can smiled but didn't offer any further explanation.

In fact, after more than ten days of work and effort, "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and "Rice Fragrance" have been completed.

They even produced music videos for both songs.

However, the music video for "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" is simpler, while the music video for "Rice Fragrance" is more elaborate.

There was no other way; Xu Xinran only had so much money to invest, so she had to make choices.

This beautiful female boss once pitifully complained to Shen Can that she was so poor she was almost selling her pants. If she lost everything this time, Shen Can would have to marry into the Xu family and sell himself to pay off the debt.

Xu Xinran's words may have been a bit exaggerated, but they also show that she was under a lot of pressure.

In contrast, Shen Can was completely unfazed and showed no signs of panic.

The song will be released tomorrow, September 25th.

Although the national media's attention is focused on the Internet Conference, the dissemination of excellent songs will not be significantly affected.

Essentially, these are two different things.

……

the other side.

In dormitory 1301, Zhao Ji was idly browsing Tianya Forum.

The students from the Class of 04 are now in their senior year. They don't actually have many courses anymore. Their main tasks are preparing for their graduation play, internships, and filming.

At this moment, Zhao Ji was casually browsing various posts when he thought of Shen Can.

"What has he been busy with lately? Why hasn't he updated his novel? Has he given up?"

It's normal for a novel to be cut if it hasn't been signed by the website.

However, Zhao Ji always felt it was a great pity.

Shen Can's novel is captivating, and the songs in it aren't made up either—at least not "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky." The misunderstanding arose simply because Shen Can didn't have the money to release the song.

Moreover, the gossip that Shen Can revealed on Tianya was quite interesting.

Without Shen Can, it just doesn't feel as fun.

"Honey, come quick, there's big news!"

Li Jinming, who was also playing on the computer, suddenly spoke loudly to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji quickly got up and walked behind Li Jinming.

At this moment, Li Jinming had already clicked on a post on the campus forum. Zhao Ji had one hand on Li Jinming's shoulder and was leaning forward, trying to get closer and see more clearly.

The top of the post is a picture, which appears to be a program list for a gala performance.

Li Jinming clicked the mouse to zoom in on the image.

Zhao Ji's pupils contracted slightly, and his mouth gradually opened wider.

A name jumped into her eyes from the picture.

"Shen Can, please perform: 'Rice Fragrance'."

"The fragrance of rice???!!!"

Zhao Jihua's face changed color, and she exclaimed in surprise.

She knew this song.

In Shen Can's novel "The All-Round Artist," "Rice Fragrance" is praised to an extreme degree, described as a super hit and an absolute classic.

Its intro is so enchanting, and its lyrics and melody are so soothing...

In the novel's plot, the protagonist easily won the first round with it, leaving an extremely deep impression on the judges. One judge even said, "Rice Fragrance will definitely be in the top three of this month's new song chart! If I'm wrong, I'll do a handstand and wash my hair live!"

Zhao Ji remembers clearly that after Shen Can posted the chapters about "Rice Fragrance" on Tianya, many netizens questioned it, saying that Shen Can's writing was too exaggerated, that he was bragging without thinking, and that he was writing nonsense after drinking fake alcohol.

but……

At this moment, Zhao Ji was extremely excited, and his thin body trembled uncontrollably.

"This song actually exists? He actually wrote it?"

"Incredible." Li Jinming's eyes lit up: "I wonder who leaked this program list for tonight's Performing Arts Department welcome party."

She scrolled down the page and saw that the post was already bustling with activity, with 19 pages of comments from students.

Hebei Xiaohua: "What's going on? Shen Can has written another song?"

shujfkl: "Looking forward to it!!!"

A handsome student from the Shanghai Theatre Academy asked: "The Acting Department's welcome party? I'm wondering, can non-Acting Department students attend?"

Love Saint 24K: "This year's freshmen have been praising Shen Can's 'The Brightest Star in the Night Sky' to the skies. I don't believe it. Only a fool would believe it unless I hear it live."

Under the hazy moonlight: "Could the performing arts department record a video for this gala, especially Shen Can's performance? If you need a cameraman, you can contact me; I can bring my own equipment."

Li Jinming stared at the comments and sighed repeatedly: "Shen Can is really popular! So many people want to hear him sing."

"Jin Ming, change your clothes." Zhao Ji turned and left, then opened her closet.

"Huh?" Li Jinming blinked.

"Don't you want to go see it?" Zhao Ji asked, her hands and feet moving nimbly as she took off her top and began to change.

"Yes, of course I'm going!" Li Jinming exclaimed excitedly, jumping up from the stool.

"I'll go too." Hailu put down her book, her expression gentle, but her eyes were full of anticipation.

……

The Huashan Road campus, the new space theater, will be the venue for the Performing Arts Department's welcome party.

6:30 p.m.

Outside the theater, crowds thronged.

According to the school's arrangements, freshmen in the Performing Arts Department (including Musical Theatre) must attend, while students from other departments are not prohibited from attending.

In this situation, many freshmen don't want to go, and not many upperclassmen are interested either.

But tonight is different.

The students rushed to get into the theater, fearing they would miss out on seats if they were too late.

"What's going on?" Li Jiahang, a student from the class of 06, was a volunteer at the welcome party tonight, responsible for maintaining order at the scene. He was completely dumbfounded when he saw the terrifying scene of "zombie siege" in front of him.
