Chapter 52 The Night of Weibo Shock
Chapter 52 The Night of Weibo Shock
Xu Manlin was not informed immediately when Shen Yuege's second song was released.
She stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the city's night view outside.
"I was truly surprised that Shen Yuege could produce a song like this when the company was cutting off her salary. But..."
Xu Manlin turned around, a confident smile curving her lips: "But my album has more than just one hit song. Every song that Mr. Liang and the other producers prepared for me is a masterpiece. Even if the quality of 'Ningxia' is on par with 'Flying Against the Light,' my 'When the Wind Rises' and the other songs are enough to support the reputation of the entire album."
At this moment, Xu Manlin was very calm and confident. She was confident in her album and in the results of the hard work of so many producers over the past few days.
It is...
Before she could continue looking to the future, a junior assistant from the company rushed over in a panic: "Sister Lin, something terrible has happened!"
Xu Manlin frowned.
It's just a song called "Ningxia," what's the big deal?
Moreover, she has already analyzed that even with the song "Ningxia," it only makes Shen Yuege's reputation surpass that of Weng Qingya, but it is not enough to threaten her new album.
"Why are you in such a panic? The most important thing for a qualified assistant is to be composed, you know?" Xu Manlin scolded the assistant.
The assistant quickly stopped and said in as calm a tone as possible, "It's like this, Sister Lin."
"Shen Yuege has released a new song."
"What did you say?" When Xu Manlin heard that Shen Yuege had released a new song, she immediately forgot what she had just said to her assistant, and the composure on her face vanished instantly.
"Do you have a link? Send it to me right now!" Xu Manlin snapped. "In the future, when there's important news like this, don't be so slow. As an assistant, your most important task is to deliver the latest information promptly, understand?"
The scolded assistant could only nod with a wronged expression.
I just silently muttered to myself: What a hypocrite!
Xu Manlin didn't pay attention to her assistant's thoughts; she directly clicked on Shen Yuege's new song, "Summer Breeze."
Because Xu Manlin's album is also themed around summer, she felt nervous when she saw the title of Shen Yuege's new song.
Because both albums share a summer theme, audiences will naturally compare them, which is why Xu Manlin was nervous.
Xu Manlin clicked on it and started listening.
The more she listened, the darker her face became.
This is another song that's just as good as her hit single.
If "Ningxia" is the starry sky of a summer night, then "Summer Wind" is the gentle breeze that brushes past the window in the afternoon.
That warmth from the sun and the scent of fresh grass is so relaxing and carefree, it seems to instantly make you forget all your troubles.
Even Xu Manlin couldn't help but applaud.
"Two...two songs of such high quality in a row, she actually did it." Xu Manlin still couldn't believe it. "How is that possible?"
Although Xu Manlin's album "Summer of Light" is of extremely high quality overall, only two songs, "Flying Against the Light" and "When the Wind Rises," have made it into the top five of the new song chart so far.
Shen Yuege, having released only two songs, has already achieved a level of success almost equal to her two main singles.
Xu Manlin calmed herself down.
She felt that Shen Yuege's song was her most treasured work, and as long as subsequent songs didn't reach the quality of these two, Xu Manlin wouldn't have lost.
Xu Manlin comforted herself inwardly.
She initiated this challenge herself, and even though the two albums were evenly matched in the end, Xu Manlin had already lost.
But she couldn't afford to lose, and she couldn't afford to lose.
This album can be said to have gambled on her career and the reputation of Shinhwa Entertainment.
If she loses this album battle, she and her team will become a laughing stock in the entertainment industry.
"She probably only has these two songs left," Xu Manlin muttered to herself.
Meanwhile, the internet was abuzz again because of Shen Yuege's Weibo post.
"My goodness...this melody is so soothing!"
"I've listened to it twice, and I'm already humming along. This song is addictive!"
"What is Shen Yuege's voice made of? How can it be so perfect for summer!"
"Is producer 'Tomorrow' a god? Three songs in a row, each one more suitable for Shen Yuege than the last!"
"Could this 'tomorrow' have anything to do with our Yuege?"
This has caused another stir in the music critics' circle.
This time, even some veteran music critics who had previously held a wait-and-see attitude towards Shen Yuege couldn't sit still anymore.
"If 'Ningxia' showcases the 'stillness' in Shen Yuege's voice, then 'Summer Wind' fully unleashes the 'movement' in her voice."
"That kind of casual, languid yet vibrant performance is unique among female singers in today's music scene."
"Producer 'Tomorrow' seems to have completely grasped every characteristic of Shen Yuege's voice and tailored the most suitable musical image for her."
"The synergy between the singer and the producer is terrifying."
"Summer Wind" was just released and has already entered the top 20 of the new song chart, and its ranking is still rising rapidly.
The situation in this music scene battle has changed from a three-way competition between Xu Manlin, Liu Siqi, and Weng Qingya to a three-way competition between Liu Siqi, Xu Manlin, and Shen Yuege.
However, it now seems that Xu Manlin is going to be at a disadvantage in this battle of divas.
Just when everyone thought the battle of the divas was about to end like this.
Shen Yuege's Weibo account has stirred up activity again.
"Again?" When the audience received Shen Yuege's Weibo post, their faces were filled with shock.
"Who still says my Yuege has run out of creative talent?"
"If we don't release it, all is well; but if we do, we'll scare you to death."
"I'm so happy to hear so many of Tsukiuta's songs in one day!"
However, this time, Shen Yuege's Weibo post was not a song link, but a notification:
"Thank you to all listeners for your love of 'Ningxia' and 'Summer Breeze'. New songs will be released tomorrow at noon. Stay tuned! See you there!"
A simple sentence, yet it gave the audience endless anticipation.
Will tomorrow's songs be as good as today's?
Why can't tomorrow's song be released today?
I need help urgently!
Before the audience could even process what Shen Yuege had just posted on Weibo, another Weibo post the following day sent netizens into a frenzy once again.
Today could even be called Weibo's night of shock.
This Weibo post was made by Liu Siqi from Xingyao Entertainment, and the content is quite simple:
@LiuSiqiV: "I heard there are a lot of good songs lately? Well, I'll join in the fun too. My new song 'Time Thief' will be released tomorrow at the same time. Don't miss it!"
