Chapter 429 Using Underhanded Tactics to Deal with a Bad Neighbor

After being piqued by the movie trailer, everyone saw the words "movie release date set".

At times like this, nothing is more useful than this. Even though we still can't eat it, at least we have something to look forward to.

Three months is a long time, but it's much better than an indefinite wait. Everyone's expectations have been met, so their mood will naturally be much better.

Doctor, you have a miraculous cure!
Now that the release date is set, it's no longer just empty promises. Enthusiastic netizens are saying that even if he dies, he'll delay until after July 7.17th...

Netizens were quite satisfied with the trailer. After excitedly sharing the news everywhere, they finally came to their senses and decided to listen to "Yi Jian Mei" properly.

Qi Yuan may not be able to compose, but his singing skills are excellent. Accompanied by a melodious prelude, his gentle voice flows out.

After his performance of "Where Has the Time Gone?" on the Spring Festival Gala went viral again, perhaps people have developed a bias against him, but Qi Yuan's voice seems to have gained a touch of warmth.

If you didn't know he was essentially a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), some people might think he's a warm and caring guy just by listening to his songs...

True feelings are as vast as the grasslands.
Layers of wind and rain cannot stop it.

Qi Yuan's mid-to-low range is very mellow, and the slight trembling of her throat in her sobbing tone is just right, blending a sense of sorrow without bitterness into the notes.

This song is subtle and understated, and it reminds everyone of Fei Ting's classical bel canto. If he were to sing it, it would definitely have a unique flavor.

But Qi Yuan's singing is also good. His progress is obvious. In terms of singing skills alone, he can already compete with many senior musicians.

Snowflakes are falling and the north wind is howling

The world was a vast expanse of white.

A sprig of plum blossoms stands proudly in the snow.

The fragrance wafts only for her.

When it came to the high notes, Qi Yuan's singing was not a showy burst of technique, but rather supported by a broad and long breath.

At the very top, his voice trailed off with a subtle, husky tremor, and his carefully controlled singing instantly struck the hearts of the listeners.

These few lines are so beautiful, like plum blossoms stretching their branches in the wind and snow, supple yet firm. It's no exaggeration to say that he sang the essence of "A Spray of Plum Blossoms".

My brother-in-law has a stubborn streak.

At this point, netizens still don't know where this song will be used...

The better Qi Yuan sings, the more impactful it becomes to use this song as his execution theme.

When the final chorus arrives, the arrangement suddenly becomes grand and powerful. He releases all technical constraints and sings "This love will last forever, in my heart" with an almost declarative force.

That solitary perseverance finally transformed into a splash of red amidst the swirling snowflakes, both poignant and fiery.

Without a doubt, "A Spray of Plum Blossoms" is a song that is sorrowful but not tragic. It depicts the melancholy of parting and longing, but does not fall into intense grief or despair. Instead, it has a calm and persistent feeling of true love after weathering the storm.

As we all know, movie promotional songs are usually featured in the movie itself. Such a serious song would surely appear in a rather serious setting.

After listening to the song, everyone had a completely new understanding of Qi Yuan's level. Without a doubt, he is the number one singer of the new generation after Yu Wei.

A tiny tear-filled ball of tears could actually hold a hidden master?

After praising Qi Yuan's skill, netizens clicked on the second song. While Qi Yuan's skill was strong, Fei Ting's was not bad either.

It should be noted that "Yi Jian Mei" is Fei Ting's work in the storyline, so this move is somewhat like showing off one's limited skills before an expert. What if he has even better works?

Everyone knows that Yu Weiduo is good at hiding things, and it's still hard to say who will win.

Just when everyone thought Fei Ting would respond with a higher-quality piece, his entry was called "Hehehe".

The prelude begins with a light and slightly playful melody, completely unlike his usual lyrical slow tempo style.

"Forgetting your worries can make you younger."
Perhaps they can even scale walls and leap across rooftops.

Time stands still in the best memories
Only you and I are left in the picture.

No one expected that the man with the deep and affectionate voice would sing this. When his opponent sang his signature song "Yi Jian Mei", he chose to let loose.

If it were any other character, people would at least criticize Yu Wei for writing nonsense and making assumptions, but when this "King of Filth" does something like this, no one is surprised at all.

The reason he can tell dirty jokes on public stage is not because he lacks tact, but because he is frank and unrestrained enough that rules and regulations are not a shackle for him.

This guy is a very unique character, so it's not surprising that he chose to continue his "jokes" in the competition.

He possesses a rich sense of entertainment and multifaceted personality. Singing "Hey Hey Hey" was not an abrupt transition for him, but rather a natural expression of his artistic career.

She can move people with her heavenly voice, and she can also use lighthearted jokes to get closer to the audience. This contrast makes the character more three-dimensional.

After understanding this point, everyone went back to appreciate the song "Hehehe". Although it is simple, it is full of Fei Ting's unique imprint.

This song may not be as high-quality as "Yi Jian Mei," but it's lighthearted and humorous enough to surely become a favorite for many. Using this kind of song in a competition is already a disadvantage, and coupled with Qi Yuan's powerful move and the hype surrounding the movie's promotional video, his loss was not hard to predict.

However, no one was saddened by this, since Qi Yuan only won because he used his work; he didn't lose to anyone.

This person's character was so well-developed that many people even thought he simply got bored and chose an easy reason to be eliminated.

Unsurprisingly, Qi Yuan won the votes due to the quality of "Yi Jian Mei" and the popularity of the movie, but everyone was surprisingly in agreement that there were no losers in this competition.

Looking at the unusually harmonious comment section, Yu Wei himself was puzzled. Not all of his readers were abstract thinkers; they could be quite serious when necessary.

Qi Yuan won everyone over with his strength, while Fei Ting gained everyone's support because of his personality... It would be even better if there were a compilation of his dirty jokes.

If we had to pinpoint anything that people were unhappy about in this match, it would probably be the lack of Japanese DLC today.

In previous competitions, Yu Wei would release a Japanese song with the same melody but different lyrics to enter the Japanese music market.

Many netizens who had discovered the pattern were waiting for it, but this time there was nothing, and they were left empty-handed.

It's not that Yu Wei is playing tricks on everyone; even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. Having a Chinese version of a Japanese song isn't something that just appears out of nowhere, and it can't be forcibly linked to the competition.

After two songs, he had already gained some fame in Sakura. This time, Yu Wei planned to ask the publisher for their opinion.

After all, he released a song in Sakura to sell books, and it would be best to do some publicity while gaining recognition.

Yu Wei sent a message to Danxue Caiyu, wanting to hear what Xiajiao thought...

To be honest, Danxue Caiyu never expected Yu Wei to be able to do this much. The main reason she collaborated with Yu Wei was because his book was good enough, and his celebrity status was just an extra.

She only casually mentioned asking Yu Wei to make a name for himself in the cherry blossom area; she would do her best, but it wouldn't matter if he couldn't.

Who would have thought that Yu Wei would actually do it? His two songs directly sparked heated discussions in the cherry blossom community, and his popularity in the cherry blossom community has now reached the second tier.

With his current fame, even if the book isn't good, people will still buy it, let alone such a wonderful mystery novel.

I think we should consider printing tens of thousands more copies...

"You've done a very good job."

Danxue Caiyu wasn't good at praising people, but it was an honor for her to work with an author like Yu Wei. The advertising was all taken care of; they were only responsible for printing the book.

Who wouldn't want a partner like that?

"That's not enough; we need to add more fuel to the fire."

Yu Wei was well aware of the sales ceiling of "Malice." The current popularity was still a bit lacking, and it would be difficult to reach the level of becoming a bestseller.

Tanyuki Ayaka was taken aback by her words. Was it still not enough?
This level of popularity is something many local singers in Sakura can only dream of, yet he still feels it's not enough and is even planning to go even further.

In his eyes, wanting to burn seemed to be just an ordinary task... Is this the world of the Imperial Legend and the Demon King of Evil Dreams?

Under Yu Wei's insistence, Danxue Caiyu had no choice but to give her opinion: although the two songs were popular, they had no direct connection with his novel.

If there are songs that can be linked together, their popularity will definitely have a more direct impact on book sales.

"A connection, a song about deduction?"

"No need for that."

Although "Malice" is a mystery novel, its main focus is on revealing human nature. As for Aya Ayaka herself, her first reaction after reading the book was that it was terrifying to think about.

"If possible... horror songs would also be suitable."

Her words struck a chord with Yu Wei. Yes, songs with a touch of suspense are a perfect match for horror background music; many novel explanations use them.

Besides its musical animations, Sakura is also most famous for its horror movies. Many classic horror films and scenes are Sakura's works.

It naturally includes a lot of terrifying music, which can send chills down your spine just by listening to it. It's the perfect match for reading suspense novels.

Yu Weizhen had previously considered adding some scary music to the books to frighten readers, but he was too embarrassed to do so. After all, people are paying real money to read these books, and he didn't want to scare them.

Now is the perfect time to compose a few songs for Sakura-hime. This can not only generate buzz for the suspense novel in advance, but also allow us to explore a new approach.

Horror music has virtually no lyrics, transcending national boundaries, making it perfect for overseas promotion.

Such underhanded tactics are too cruel to use against our own people. We have to target foreigners specifically. The more frightened they are, the higher our profile becomes, and they'll even have to thank us.

The thought of plotting against someone made Yu Wei's memory work much better, and a bunch of terrifying music immediately popped into his head...

I'll deliberately send it late at night when everyone's quiet, and randomly scare a few people in Japan to death. (End of Chapter)
