Have you ever been a celebrity? Why are you writing about entertainment?

If it weren't for the repeated use of the word "ugly monster" in your ears, everyone would think this was a love song about heartbreak.

The line "Ugly freak, could you please not turn on the light?" caught the sharp wit of netizens, who felt offended...

Is Yu Wei mocking his audience? Is he using labels like "ugly monster" to portray ordinary people who are silently listening in front of their screens?

This thought surged like an undercurrent. If that were really the case, wouldn't that be going too far with his perverse sense of humor? There's a limit to how much you can scheme against someone...

They were as if placed in front of a distorted mirror, with every line of the song seeming to accuse them of their imperfections, evoking a sense of offense.

At this moment, netizens' attitudes shifted from initial curiosity to slight resistance, and even a bit of anger—after all, who wants to be criticized for no reason by a pop song?
"Ugly monster in this ambiguous era"
My existence was like an accident.

However, as the song progressed, their dissatisfaction gradually subsided, and they could clearly sense that the Ugly Monster seemed to have a deeper meaning in the song.

"If the script is well-written, who is more noble?"
I can only remain silent; beauty is not a sin.
When desires begin to swell, there are more opportunities.
Fearless like dust.

As the song progresses into its second half, the arrangement becomes increasingly grand, and Yu Wei's vocals, which were initially restrained, begin to reveal a raw, tearing quality.

Even those who had some reservations about the song had to admit that his singing was flawless.

But what's amazing is that in this extreme emotional catharsis, the audience doesn't feel repression, but rather a strange sense of relief.

It's as if, when the universally existing humility of "ugly monster" is presented and proclaimed so openly, solemnly, and artistically, it is endowed with dignity.

After all, to some extent, everyone plays the role of an ugly monster because they cannot meet the expectations of others and social norms.

Those hidden anxieties about appearance, background, ability, personality, and even any evaluation; those shames about being "not good enough" under the discourse of success philosophies... all are connected and revealed by these three simple words.

The previous dissatisfaction has long since disappeared, and this song is like a mirror, allowing everyone to immerse themselves in it once again.

Works that can immerse them, then awaken them, and then immerse them again are indeed rare.

The reason everyone felt uncomfortable just now was simply because their self-awareness instinctively curled up into a fragile shape under the scrutiny of the bright light.

Once they accept their own weakness, they become invincible. Once they understand this song, that kind of extreme behavior disappears.

"Ugly people are nothing to be surprised about once you've seen them enough."

The repeated use of this phrase, coupled with the gradually increasing electric guitar and string accompaniment in the arrangement, is like a lightning bolt cleaving through the clouds of misunderstanding.

Netizens held their breath in unison, realizing that the song's sharpness was not directed outward, but inward—Yu Wei was not scolding the audience, but ruthlessly dissecting himself.

This sudden realization was like a wake-up call: those cries about "ugly monsters" were actually an extreme form of self-mockery, a reflection on the current state of society.

The shift in attitude was completed at this moment, from a defensive stance of misunderstanding to a profound empathy.

A warm feeling welled up in netizens' hearts, because they saw a soul struggling and finding release in music.

Analysis of the song then unfolded, and netizens began to appreciate the artistic charm of "Ugly Monster" as a whole.

It cleverly uses irony and metaphor to transform the seemingly derogatory term "ugly duckling" into a declaration of self-acceptance.

Every line in the song points to the common anxieties of modern people, questioning their appearance, identity, and value of existence.

However, the song does not dwell on anxiety. Instead, it uses self-deprecation to dispel the heaviness of these anxieties and gives them a dark humor.

From a simple guitar opening to the gradual addition of drums and electronic elements, the song's arrangement perfectly creates a dynamic curve from repression to explosion, which perfectly echoes the emotional process from self-deprecation to self-healing. Yu Wei's vocals are the finishing touch; his voice is full of helplessness in its low murmurs, and bursts forth with a sense of realism at the climax.

This singing technique makes the song not only an auditory enjoyment, but also an emotional baptism.

As the song came to an end, netizens were overwhelmed with a complex mix of emotions, including relief from previous misunderstandings and admiration for the song's depth.

You've misunderstood Yu Wei; he's an honest and kind person!

Whoever said he was scheming should step forward and reflect on their actions. Everyone knows Yu Wei is incredibly devoted to his fans; how could he possibly scheme against them on purpose?

Yu Wei, who was browsing the comments, couldn't help but nod. Netizens really understand him. Writing songs to trick fans, is that even human?

The song "Ugly Monster" is certainly not perfect, but it is definitely popular enough, which is exactly what his album is missing.

While the first few songs are catchy, achieving widespread popularity will still be a challenge.

This song has a catchy and memorable melody and lyrics that will definitely make the album popular.

Just as Yu Wei had predicted, "Ugly Monster" immediately became a trending topic a few hours after its release.

After a few songs, the digital album finally generated buzz again, sweeping away the downward trend and successfully stabilizing the situation.

Having weathered the buffer period, there's nothing to worry about now. Also, "Ten Years" hasn't been released yet, so it's sure to generate plenty of buzz.

Just as Yu Weijing was waiting for the last two songs to shine, he suddenly received a call from Ye Shengyu, who brought him some major news.

During the time he wasn't releasing songs on Sakura, the information brokers, having no news to pass on, simply started doing the opposite, beginning to pass on Yu Wei's information to Sakura.

Sakura didn't usually care much about these things in the domestic music scene, until she heard that the Chinese version of "The Flower That Is Loved and the Flower That Is Not Loved" (それが大事), which was a huge hit in China, was met with a lukewarm reception.

Both songs were clearly featured on Sakurabi, but were inexplicably eliminated in China. Can you honestly say this wasn't intentional?
Especially after hearing that the competition was organized by Yu Wei himself, the word "shady dealings" was practically etched into his mind.

After all, they didn't really understand what a fake match meant, and could only interpret it as Yu Wei's conspiracy...

It's obvious that Yu Wei is pulling strings behind the scenes, trying to use this to belittle one and praise another, thereby boosting the confidence of the Chinese music scene. How despicable!
Feeling insulted, the Sakura musicians were enraged and decided to suppress Yu Wei in order to defend the honor of the music scene.

But Yu Wei was like a disconnected wire, not sending songs to Sakura on his own initiative, so they didn't know where to start. Therefore, they decided to follow suit and call her on their own initiative.

If Yu Wei can sing across the sea, why can't they?
Kou can go, so can I. We must send in high-quality music to break down information barriers, and while teaching Yu Wei how to be a person, let Chinese netizens listen to something good as well.

"I heard that a batch of songs is already on its way."

Ye Shengyu used the phrase "a batch" very aptly. Clearly, more than one Sakura musician was launching an offensive against him; Xiao Rizi still has too much of a sense of collective honor.

"Most of them are second- or third-tier singers, so there's not much to worry about."

Yu Wei nodded without speaking, but his expression became somewhat strange; he hadn't expected this turn of events.

That makes sense when you think about it. He started the trouble, so the other party will definitely want to get revenge.

However, at this critical juncture...

They really know how to find the right opportunity; it just so happens to coincide with their album release. (End of Chapter)
