Which top celebrity doesn't support a few female stars?

Back in late June, Li Zhou found a clear answer amidst countless distractions when choosing songs—

Rice Fragrance

The moment the intro starts, the childhood feeling of a summer night comes rushing back.

The lyrics are also very fitting.

The only problem is whether Li's hastily acquired singing skills can convey the essence of the song.

After all, after overseeing Ke Miaoyin's recording, Li Zhou realized that his singing skills were not as good as hers.

Miss Ke has been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting since childhood. Although she didn't study art in college, she still has a strong artistic foundation.

Fortunately, because the original owner could sing "Only You Shine" as "Zhou You Shine," so...

After trying it out, Li Zhou found that it surprisingly matched the original singer Jay Chou's tune very well.

As a result, not much effort was actually put into the overall vocal recording.

The next day, a finished product that fully met the standards was ready.

The subsequent re-recordings were all for the purpose of achieving a better result.

The most time-consuming part was actually the arrangement and organization.

Because Li Zhou had very high standards for the arrangement, the collaborating musicians at Shengshi Recording Studio kept making adjustments, which caused the production cycle to be delayed again and again.

Incidentally, during the production process, these top Chinese music producers often questioned the meaning of life.

At first, it was... "Huh? You can do that?"

It quickly turned into... "President Li, how do you manage to provide such accurate advice even when your overall skill level isn't high?"

"Just humming is enough?"

"Is this correct?"

"..."

In truth, Li Zhou's overall musical literacy is utterly terrible compared to these professional musicians...

...

……

Specifically, right now, after Li Zhou updated his Douyin (TikTok) status, izhou and his fans immediately came to watch, as did ili, who was only a step behind.

As always, izhou and his haters' comments hovered on the edge of being neither abstract nor abstract...

"Great! Zhou Ge debuted as a singer and dancer, so we should all sing! Never forget your original aspirations, and you will achieve your goal!"

"My brother Zhou has finally realized that language and writing are just so damn pale. Showing concern and warmth is not as good as giving a huge sum of money."

"izhou, gather around! No matter how awful Zhou's new song is, I'm declaring it the best new song of the year!"

"No problem. As long as my brother Zhou doesn't do anything stupid like acting, he should be the leading figure of the new generation of Chinese music. It's better than meow meow meow."

"..."

The reason why izhou and his haters are so excited is that they are genuinely worried that Li Zhou will become even more famous through acting.

Who knows how long Li Zhou's studio was on tenterhooks after releasing the photos of Li Zhou on set?

I can't eat well, and I can't sleep well.

They really went to great lengths for Li Zhou's future... Li Zhou can be a top star, but he absolutely cannot go any further; he must become a superstar!

The main reason is that although Xiao Heizi and his friends have basically given up watching TV dramas, they still pay some attention and know that the industry is rotten to the core.

With Li Zhou's face, he could dominate the drama industry for at least a decade or two.

Compared to Li Zhou, Shengshi Entertainment, and other parties, the haters actually trust Li Zhou more, believing that his acting won't flop.

The main reason is that they have personally experienced Ili's combat power.

Although she has been suppressed by them due to the difference in scale, it is still easy for Ili to beat the fans of other groups.

Now that we see Li Zhou finally "realizes his mistakes," "turns over a new leaf," and "rediscovers his original aspirations," the fans are very happy.

Who doesn't know that Chinese music has been in decline for over a decade? Since the 00s, it has gotten worse year after year.

Not to mention that it's the 20s now, and new singers have no chance other than to cover or slightly modify old songs.

It's not like he hasn't tried his hand at music before; in the end, all he came up with was "Zhou, you shine."

Compared to the seemingly relieved look on the faces of the haters, ili, who was only a little later, still liked the post first, then watched it, and then commented.

Including the beginning and the song excerpt, the video is actually 2 minutes and 17 seconds long.

Therefore, ili's comment was pushed to the top almost simultaneously with the end of the video playback...

"My Lili's song is so great. When the intro started, it felt like I was back on a summer night many years ago."

"Happiness is hard to come by, but at least when I hear this song by my Lili, my emotional turmoil is smoothed out..."

"..."

Not many comments make it to the top of the comment section.

However, many of the trolls who had immediately stopped commenting on the video quickly realized something was wrong.

I happened to run into some haters who were listening and commenting at the same time, and both sides were re-commenting...

"No way! There's a problem... a really big problem. This song sounds... kind of nice?!"

"Damn, I just checked Tencent Music, and it's also written and composed by Li. This Li is totally my Zhou Ge... Holy crap!"

"..."

...

At this time, because Li Zhou actively promoted the new song on Weibo and Douyin, many fans were already listening to the full version on Tencent Music.

The surge in plays quickly propelled "Rice Fragrance" to the top of the new song charts, eventually reaching number one.

It also included many listeners' random playlists, allowing more people to hear the prelude that instantly brought back memories of summer nights in their childhood.

And following the intro, there are even more beautiful songs...

♪[If you have too many complaints about this world... you won't dare to move forward after you fall...]

♪[Why are people so fragile...and so depraved...]

"..."

♪[Remember when you said home was the only castle… Keep running along the rice paddy river…]

"..."

♪[Smile! Success isn't the goal... making yourself happy... that's what matters...]

"..."

♪[Let's go home...back to the beautiful beginnings...]

Li Zhouna's somewhat unclear singing style, combined with this song, easily resonated with the audience.

……

While "Rice Fragrance" topped the Penguin Music New Song Chart, izhou and his haters, already in a panic, once again instigated music bloggers on Douyin.

Among them, the "music expert" who gave the most objective review of the song "Encounter" was urged by izhou to start the broadcast.

Of course, Da Xia doesn't mind getting this traffic; he already saw it during his last live stream where he dissected a song...

Even a tiny bit of traffic from top celebrities like Li Zhou can generate a fortune.

At that level, he only needs to do three, five, seven, or eight live streams to amass a fortune...

As soon as Da Xia started broadcasting, I saw a barrage of comments, most of which were similar.

Even the prawn hesitated for a moment before asking, "No, I'm a little confused. Do you want a completely objective evaluation?"

izhou quickly proved his identity by posting a series of "Zhou Ge" memes, and then edited the live chat...

"Stop talking nonsense and give an objective evaluation. I need to know just how good my brother Zhou's creative abilities really are."

"It's good, so what?"

"..."

Meanwhile, ili also rushed over upon hearing the news and started editing the comments...

"Don't worry, host. Objective feedback will help my Lili identify problems and make timely improvements!"

"Review! Review with confidence!"

The expert glanced at the comments and the gifts exchanged, opened his mouth, then closed it again, and directly opened professional software to start disassembling...

"Let me put on some nail polish first. I just learned about this song, so it's all based on my objective, subjective first impression..."

As soon as it started playing, the shrimp's eyes lit up: "Oh~ this intro is brilliant..."

Then came the singing part. After listening to only one part, the expert gave his evaluation: "The song is very good, but the shortcomings are also very obvious..."

"The biggest drawback is that Mr. Li Zhou's pronunciation is very unique. It sounds like he's speaking indistinctly, but it actually creates a certain atmosphere..."

"It's very difficult to learn, you'll know once you hear me sing it..."

"That was a normal, clear, and articulate singing style just now. You could hear it, but it just doesn't feel the same..."

Afterwards, Da Xia carefully considered his words and concluded: "Li Zhou previously said he wanted to lead the Chinese music scene, and it's very likely true..."
