"What was that song called again...?"

After deciding on some scary music, Yu Wei began his intensive creative work, though his work wasn't composing music, but writing a book.

Now that this round of competition has just ended, he can arrange for the main character to temporarily leave the variety show recording and do something else first, taking the opportunity to change the song.

Classic horror music is familiar to everyone, but few people will deliberately remember the song titles. Yu Wei racked his brains for a long time before he could recall a few easy-to-remember ones.

Without delay, he arranged a new storyline immediately after the competition ended, and had the lead actor, Wei Yu, compose the music for the film.

This eerie background music would be more suitable for a movie score, so that it wouldn't feel out of place when people hear it.

After a simple selection process, Yu Wei finally chose the horror music "Ningyo no Kan" (The Hall of the Doll). It was a classic song, and the title itself had a distinctly Japanese feel, making it suitable for promotion in Sakura.

Since I'm planning to go and have some fun, I need to cater to their tastes. I'll just come up with a Japanese song title and wait for them to take the bait...

This piece features the piano as its central instrument, with an ethereal and eerie tone that some enthusiasts even find strangely beautiful.

Yu Wei used this piece as a stepping stone, which is in line with his good piano skills.

A Japanese fan who got hooked on "Castle in the Sky" wanted to relax and listen to it, but was scared half to death by the eerie melody.

Yu Wei exchanged the song on his way to Firefly Chinese Music School. When he heard that Yu Wei had come to record new music, Hong Hui once again showed a kind smile.

Recording songs is great, so I should record more...

Through his numerous collaborations with Yu Wei, he had become a well-known music supervisor in the industry. After decades of mediocrity, he finally met a benefactor in middle age, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't moved.

Yu Wei's rise has quietly changed the course of many people's lives; he is just one of them.

Upon hearing that he wanted to record a piano piece, Hong Hui's smile widened even more.

Although Yu Wei doesn't have many piano pieces, each one is a masterpiece. It seems that a big one is coming this time... This thought lingered until Yu Wei played the first note.

What emerged from his fingertips was not a melodious tune, but rather a discordant, even somewhat eerie, piece of music.

That's creepy, isn't it?

Horror music is terrifying precisely because it often uses out-of-key tones and dissonant harmonic effects.

Breaking away from traditional harmony, using low-frequency suppression, high-frequency sharpness, and chaos is necessary to create unease and eeriness.

The staff who helped Yu Wei record the entire song were exhausted. They were right; the big guy did indeed arrive, but he was a bit too big.

Who are you trying to scare to death with such a creepy tune?
They were terrified if they heard it in broad daylight; imagine what it would be like to hear it late at night...

Let Yu Weidang be the music supervisor; he's definitely the best at it.

Although Hong Hui felt a chill run down his spine, he didn't ask any more questions out of trust in Yu Wei. He knew the kid must have his reasons for doing this.

Before leaving, Yu Wei made sure to explain the details of the arrangement. Horror music emphasizes atmosphere, and post-production is also an extremely important part. He would continue to follow up on it.

He felt refreshed after recording the song, but when he checked his phone, the sky fell...

In the comments section of the new chapter, a bunch of readers are already waiting for this piece of music. Anything produced by Yu Wei is bound to be a masterpiece, so why wouldn't you give it a listen?

"The song title is Japanese, and it's clearly intended for overseas use. I have no choice but to listen to it now."

"I'm placing this here. Remember to tag me when you leave."

"Squatting together, looking forward to it."

Of course, we can look forward to other things, but this thing is really cunning. People used to say it was cunning when they were joking, but this time it's really cunning.

Why are you all getting involved?

This was originally a hellish contraption he prepared for his own life; if it were to harm his own people, he would be committing a grave sin.

In other words, not every one of his works is worth listening to... Silly kids, run! This one is definitely not worth listening to.

He listened to the music in the first half of the night, and his horse flew away in the second half.

This is the downside of writing songs based on novels. Once the song title is revealed, everyone will naturally be excited, and their curiosity will be irresistible.

After much deliberation, Yu Wei decided to add a patch. In the second chapter update that evening, he clearly wrote: This song is not recommended! [Looking at the film producer in front of him, Wei Yu put away his usual smile, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the table.]

"Finally, regarding 'The Doll House'."

He paused, looked directly at the other person, and said with unprecedented seriousness, "This is not a marketing ploy—I sincerely advise against listening to this piece alone late at night."

Moreover, Yu Wei further explained in the author's words: This song is scary, and I really don't recommend that everyone listen to it.

This wasn't just a hint, it was an explicit statement. However, people clearly weren't buying it; his readers all belonged to Qi Luoan and were extremely rebellious.

“If Yu Wei says no, then he means yes.”

"I didn't want to listen, but now I have to."

"Terrifying? I want to hear just how scary it is. Don't try to make me laugh."

"You don't want everyone to hear this, so you're saving the good stuff for yourselves? How can you be so selfish?"

Seeing the dissenting opinions and even accusations in the comments section, Yu Wei almost laughed in anger. Fine, fine, you'll all listen, right? After listening, not a single person said a word.

He actually understood his readers and knew that the patch was useless, but he still wrote it because he wasn't writing it as a reminder, but as a way to build armor.

This is his disclaimer. Anyway, he has already made it clear in advance that if anyone gets scared and suffers serious consequences, that is their own business.

Curiosity killed the little glutton, but he's not taking the blame for that. You can hear it yourselves...

A few days later, late at night, "Ningyo no Kan" was quietly launched on the Chinese and Japanese servers.

The streets of Tokyo have fallen silent, with only a few streetlights casting a dim, yellow glow.

In a cramped apartment, Kenichi Tanaka tossed and turned in bed. He took out his phone, opened a music app, and planned to find some relaxing piano music to help him fall asleep.

His finger slid across the screen, browsing the list of recommendations, when his gaze suddenly landed on a title—"The Doll's Mansion".

The song title was unremarkable, but he recognized the musician beside him, Yu Wei, a Chinese man who had recently gained fame in the cherry blossom industry.

He wasn't a fan, but he had heard the other person's "Castle in the Sky," which was quite healing. Could this piano piece be a new work?
The word "人形" in Japanese means doll or puppet, and is often associated with cuteness and childlike fun; while "馆" refers to a building or house.

Tanaka couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking that this was probably a warm piano piece depicting a dollhouse.

Perhaps it is filled with crisp piano sounds and gentle melodies, just like the background music in those cartoons, which can instantly relax people.

Without much thought, he clicked play, turned the phone volume to a comfortable level, leaned back on the bed, closed his eyes, and looked forward to a relaxing journey.

But the next second, a discordant melody rang in my ears, the notes seeming to crawl out of an abyss, carrying a cold touch, slowly eroding the surrounding air.

Tanaka suddenly opened his eyes, his heart racing uncontrollably.

He tried to tell himself that this was just a prelude to the music, but his body tensed up on its own.

The piano music grew increasingly eerie, with occasional shrill high notes that sounded like the creaking of a doll's joints, while the low notes echoed like heavy footsteps in the empty hall.

The melody exudes an eerie atmosphere, no longer a lighthearted accompaniment, but more like a silent chase.

He could almost see the dolls rolling their eyes in the shadows, their smiles stiff and eerie, casting distorted shadows on the walls of the building.

The music is interspersed with brief silences, and those pauses are more suffocating than the sound itself, as if something is holding its breath and lurking, ready to pounce at any moment.

Tanaka felt a chill run down his spine, and cold sweat began to seep out. He hurriedly sat up straight, wanting to turn off the music, but his fingers were stiff.

Finally, when a sharp glissando ripped through the night's silence, he could no longer control himself and abruptly grabbed his phone to press the pause button.

The apartment fell into a deathly silence, with only his own panting echoing in his ears.

He looked around, and the familiar room seemed strange in the darkness, as if invisible eyes were hiding in those shadowy corners.

"Kuso ya lu, sine!"

Now I'm completely unable to sleep... (End of Chapter)
