Taking Liu Yifei back to Northeast China for the Chinese New Year has sent the entire internet into

Five minutes and eleven seconds later.

The song ended.

Inside the shed.

Fang Yu took off his headphones and let out a soft sigh of relief.

He looked out the glass and noticed that the control room was eerily quiet.

"Brother Wang?"

Fang Yu leaned closer to the microphone and shouted.

"Is there a problem?"

"Is it because you're not emotionally invested?"

"Or is it that you didn't pronounce a word correctly?"

Old Wang then came to his senses.

He shuddered and reached out to press the intercom button.

"This track..."

He swallowed hard.

"Perfect!"

"Emotion, pitch, breath control—all textbook-level."

"I've never had such smooth clippers in my entire life!"

Old Wang's eyes lit up as he looked at the waveform on the screen.

"No repairs needed at all, it can be used directly to press the master tape!"

The two assistants beside them were nodding frantically.

Fang Yu remained calm.

"OK."

He nodded.

"Then let's cut the project file."

"Let's start with the second song, 'Xiao Fang'."

"Clatter!"

Old Wang's hand trembled, and he almost broke the clipper.

"No...no, not going to rest for a bit?!"

Recording continuously?!

He was completely numb.

Recording is very physically and mentally demanding for singers.

Especially songs with a high emotional intensity.

After singing a song, many people couldn't recover for a long time.

Fang Yu is doing well.

One second they were experiencing a heart-wrenching farewell amidst the sound of falling snow.

The next second I'm going to the village to find Xiaofang.

"What are you resting for?"

Fang Yu tapped the music stand, urging them on.

"The platform pays out daily, hurry up, Brother Wang."

"Finish it early so you can go home and have dinner early."

Old Wang: "..."

Row.

This reason is very valid.

Old Wang took a deep breath, saved and backed up the audio track of "The Sound of Falling Snow", quickly created a new project, and imported the accompaniment of "Xiao Fang".

A few minutes later.

Fang Yu stood in front of the microphone again, his body swaying slightly to the rhythm.

In those fractions of a second.

Fang Yu's aloof and melancholic aura vanished instantly.

It was as if he had walked straight out of the snowy night and stepped into the small village at dusk.

There's a girl in the village named Xiaofang.

"Good-looking and kind~"

The first sentence came out.

The three people in the control room were stunned again.

Old Wang almost thought his headphones were broken.

The resonating cavity has been completely changed!

Just now, it was a delicate and restrained lyrical singing style with a lot of breathy vocals.

Now, the moment he opens his mouth, it immediately transforms into a folk song with a full, resonant quality.

"This can be seamlessly cut?"

An assistant next to him muttered something under his breath.

Old Wang didn't say anything; he was completely convinced.

If the first song, "The Sound of Falling Snow," proves that Fang Yu can sing, then...

That song "Xiao Fang" proves that he not only can sing, but also knows how to sing every song.

It's not about showing off skills, it's not about reckless driving.

Instead, they placed their voice, emotions, and pronunciation in the most suitable positions for the song.

Looking at Fang Yu inside the shed, a thought suddenly popped into Old Wang's mind.

Those popular singers who rely on auto-tuning to stay alive and don't even dare to sing live... their good days are probably really over.

This isn't about releasing a song; it's about adding intensity to the Chinese entertainment industry!

……

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

Only an hour and a half had passed since Fang Yu walked into the recording studio.

The two high-quality songs, which originally required meticulous polishing, have all had their dry vocals recorded.

Aside from Fang Yu's own obsessive-compulsive disorder kicking in at the end of a sentence, feeling that the ending of a certain line wasn't relaxed enough, he voluntarily requested to record a short re-segment.

The rest of the parts were all done in one go.

Fang Yu pushed open the soundproof door and walked out, rubbing his neck as he took off his headphones.

Old Wang immediately stood up, his eyes having long since changed from initial polite perfunctory to heartfelt admiration.

"Teacher Fang Yu."

He handed over a bottle of room temperature mineral water with both hands.

"Leave the post-mixing and mastering to me."

"I'm not sleeping tonight, I'll finish this for you right away."

"The operations managers from Tencent and NetEase are all waiting in the group chat."

"As long as I don't suddenly die, I guarantee these two songs will be available on all major online platforms at 8 AM tomorrow!"

As an ambitious recording engineer.

For him, being able to personally produce such a flawless dry audio recording is not considered overtime at all.

That's called enjoyment.

It's like a top chef encountering an exceptional ingredient.

The old carpenter touched a century-old piece of agarwood.

Itchy hands.

It's addictive!

Fang Yu unscrewed the bottle cap and gulped down half a mouthful of water.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Wang."

"I'll treat you to authentic pork stew another day."

Old Wang's eyes lit up.

"Really?"

Fang Yu nodded.

"Please."

"But we have to wait for the platform's first share of the profits to arrive."

Old Wang: "..."

Well, it turns out that feelings were just an empty promise; all that excitement was for nothing.

……

Actually, Fang Yu could have recorded several more songs in one go today.

After all, releasing one more new song can significantly boost your account balance tomorrow.

They still have all the big hits in their hands, such as "Mohe Dance Hall," "Aurora," "Northeast Folk Songs," and "Cotton Candy."

But he still decided that he had to clock out today.

The main problem was the way Old Wang was looking at him; it was very abnormal.

That's not the look you give a new singer.

That's the look you give an alien creature.

One should be humble.

One must learn to restrain oneself.

We should at least leave those ordinary people in the Chinese entertainment industry a little bit of vague self-confidence.

……

Silent all night.

The next day at 8:00 AM sharp.

For countless netizens who are glued to various music platforms, this is a moment worth celebrating with firecrackers.

Penguin Music.

NetEase Cloud Music.

Kugou Music.

Several major domestic platforms placed the two names in the most prominent featured recommendation position on their homepages at almost the same time.

—The Sound of Falling Snow.

——"Xiao Fang".

Singer: Fang Yu.

These two songs went viral during the "Going Home for the New Year" live stream, and were recorded, edited, and covered by countless people, but there was always only the "live noise version" of these songs.

Finally, amidst much anticipation, the official studio version was released.

The featured spot just appeared.

The data started to surge.

The number of comments jumped from "99+" to "999+".

Then jump from "999+" to "10000+".

It took less than ten minutes.

[It's here! I'm so happy! I've finally got the studio version!]

The sound quality is so clean! Yu Ge's singing is such a treat to listen to with headphones!

[Waaaaah, the moment the intro to "The Sound of Falling Snow" started, my heart, which I had painstakingly mended, shattered into pieces again. Who can understand this awful imagery?!]

【"Xiao Fang" is awesome! Even my dad said it's a great song after listening to it!】

The buzz continues to grow.

Just one hour later.

"The Sound of Falling Snow" and "Xiao Fang" immediately soared to the top of the charts on major music platforms, including the rising charts, new song charts, and hot song charts.

Take a look, and climb up a bit.

Within the Chinese entertainment industry, countless musicians and management companies fell silent as they stared at the two almost vertically rising data curves.

They knew that Fang Yu was incredibly popular lately.

But no one expected that, without the boost from variety show live streaming, his dominance when he seriously released a single would be so terrifying!

This can no longer be explained by the "fan effect".

This is a testament to how the quality of the work alone could break through the nationwide support base!
