Zhong Yixuan nodded and said, "That's right. Did you see that drum set? It's worth 32 yuan, ridiculously expensive."

Zhao Feiyang, standing to the side, was so astonished that he exclaimed, "What kind of tycoon is this?!"

Just then, a group of young people walked over from a distance. Zhao Feiyang excitedly went up to them and said, "You must be rich, rich people, let's be friends."

Xu Fan said somewhat awkwardly, "Feiyang."

Zhao Feiyang completely ignored Xu Fan. The four young men were quite enthusiastic. When they saw that Zhong Yixuan had brought his friends, they naturally shook hands and walked over. The leader said, "Yixuan, what brings you here?"

Zhong Yixuan said, "I brought a friend over to record two songs."

Yang Jiaci, the lead singer of the band "Explosion," joked with a smile, "What, aren't you already in enough trouble by yourself?"

Zhong Yixuan said, "After listening to his songs, you'll definitely be glad I brought him here."

As he spoke, Zhong Yixuan said to Yang Jiaci, "Let me introduce you, this is my friend Xu Fan, Zhao Feiyang."

Then, pointing at Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang, he said, "He is the owner of this recording studio. His name is Yang Jiaci, the lead singer of the Explosion Band. This is Liu Wenchang, and there are Si Hai and Zhou Yuechen."

After everyone got to know each other, Yang Jiaci and the other three didn't waste any time. Knowing that Xu Fan was in a hurry, they let him directly into the recording studio to start recording.

The differences of high-end equipment are naturally apparent; the sound insulation is excellent, and the recording quality is even more remarkable.

Xu Fan sang "If One Day I Become Very Rich" very seriously.

Yang Jiaci and the other three were stunned by the cheerful melody, and secretly gave Zhong Yixuan a thumbs up.

However, Zhong Yixuan mouthed, "There's something even more surprising."

Xu Fan then finished singing "Feeling Like a Superstar," but Yang Tianci's inner surprise didn't increase much. In his opinion, the song was a bit too simplistic and not as interesting as "Becoming Rich."

But after Xu Fan finished singing "Xiao Chou" with deep emotion, Yang Tianci and the other three were filled with admiration and disbelief. Yang Tianci had tears in his eyes and felt extremely melancholy.

A toast to freedom, a toast to death—these only deepened their sorrow.

Even Zhong Yixuan and Zhao Feiyang, who were listening to the song for the second time, were still incredibly impressed when they heard Xu Fan singing in the recording studio.

However, when Xu Fan was about to record "A Person Like Me," Zhong Yixuan's heart skipped a beat. She had a feeling that this song would definitely be tear-jerking, and subconsciously asked, "Is this a new song you wrote?"

Zhao Feiyang, who was standing next to him, said, "He wrote a really nice old song before."

Xu Fan nodded, and the recording began.

Someone as outstanding as me should have lived a brilliant life.

How come after more than twenty years, I'm still adrift in the sea of ​​people?

The simple lyrics were enough to evoke a special feeling in Zhong Yixuan, Yang Jiaci, and the other two people. When Zhao Feiyang listened to the song again, his eyes were also filled with a special emotion.

The people present were all in their early twenties.

This song feels like it's written about them.

Zhong Yixuan loves music, but no matter how hard he tries, he has been defeated in the upgrade battle and is now in the waiting stage. He doesn't have much confidence in himself and feels that his chances of advancing to the next final battle are slim because he doesn't think his fans can help him advance.

Zhao Feiyang comes from a middle-class family, but he has lived a peaceful and uneventful life for the past twenty years, without any particular joy or excitement.

The four of them, including Yang Jiaci, felt the same way. They also loved music, which is why they formed a band and tried writing songs, but the results were often completely different from what they had imagined.

After more than 20 years of ups and downs, life now seems no different from before.

After Xu Fan finished recording "A Person Like Me", the eyes of all six men in the recording studio were slightly red.

The lyrics are not the story, but the story is all in this song.

Get the perfect music system at the start

===Chapter 16 Xia Ziling's Phone Call===

This is not over yet.

Since he was going to record songs, Xu Fan decided to record "Don't Say Goodbye" as well.

The sound rang out, then faded away.

Everyone in the recording studio was already overwhelmed with grief, and Zhong Yixuan sat to the side, watching Xu Fan in silence for a long time.

Zhao Feiyang was somewhat better off, since he had heard these songs before, but listening to them again still resonated with him deeply. Looking at Xu Fan walking out of the recording studio, he said, "Looks like I'll be listening to a few more songs on repeat from now on."

Zhong Yixuan stood up and said, "You really are a superstar. Every single one of these songs is a classic."

Xu Fan smiled and said, "It's not that good."

Zhong Yixuan couldn't help but laugh.

Yang Jiaci was very excited. He stared at Xu Fan for a long time without saying a word, his eyes seemingly shining. Zhong Yixuan smiled and said, "I told you so, my friend's song must be amazing."

Yang Jiaci said, "It's more than amazing, it's just so good!"

Xu Fan politely replied, "Thank you. How much?"

Yang Jiaci was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Why would I charge you? I'm already satisfied that such a beautiful song can be recorded here. How could I charge you? Besides, your voice and your song are almost perfect. There's no need for any audio editing. Just copy it directly."

Zhong Yixuan also said, "When we record songs, sometimes we have to do a whole line of dialogue again, and we also have to do a lot of post-production audio editing, but your song today is perfect."

Xu Fan asked, somewhat surprised, "Is it that difficult? I feel it's not too bad."

Zhao Feiyang patted Xu Fan on the shoulder and said, "That's just your feeling."

Zhong Yixuan didn't know how to respond, while Yang Jiaci and the other three looked shocked.

It's more than just difficult; sometimes you have to start over with a single note or a single line of lyrics, then get the pitch corrected, adjusted, and go through all sorts of preparations. Even top-tier singers need to get their pitch corrected in post-production.

But for some reason, Xu Fan's songs are just so natural and perfect, without any flaws.

After finishing recording, Xu Fan didn't hesitate and went straight to Yang Jiaci's recording studio to find a computer and log into WeChat.

He signed the contract online, then sent all the lyrics—"Sorrow," "Feeling Like a Superstar," and "If One Day I Become Very Rich"—to Tencent Music, which granted exclusive authorization.

However, Xu Fan did not directly release information about people like me who didn't say goodbye.

After finishing everything, Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang bid farewell to Zhong Yi and left the recording studio.

However, before leaving, Xu Fan looked at Yang Jiaci and the others and said, "If you really like music, I'll give you a song later."

The faces of Yang Jiaci and the other three were filled with disbelief. Before they could even say thank you, Xu Fan had already gotten into a taxi and sped away.

Zhong Yixuan said with a hint of envy, "You guys are going to be famous."

On the internet, the earthquake triggered by a song about relieving sorrow is far from over.

The headlines on Weibo have been overwhelming for a long time, and the popularity shows no signs of declining.

On major short video apps such as Douyin and Kuaishou, Xiaochou swept across the country like a whirlwind, and Xu Fan's fame soared overnight, becoming unparalleled.

Countless fans flocked to the scene.

Even though the song "Don't Say Goodbye" was incredibly popular during graduation season, it was instantly overshadowed by Xu Fan's own song "Sorrow".

Once the art of relieving sorrow is unveiled, who can rival it?

Penguin Music has acquired exclusive streaming rights.

One is a live version, and the other is a recorded version.

When the live version was released, Tencent Music had already prepared pop-up recommendations and large-screen recommendations, and everyone listening to music online received a notification immediately.

Promotional materials for relieving sorrow.

When the audio version was uploaded, netizens went wild.

To ensure that more fans and listeners receive the news as soon as it's available, Penguin Video has enabled a pop-up notification on the Penguin Music app for Xiaochou's online release.

As soon as you download Penguin Music, you'll instantly receive a message on your phone, whether you're on your phone or computer, logged in or offline.

One toast to freedom, one toast to death. Xu Fan's full version of "Sorrow" is now available on Penguin Music. We look forward to your listening.

When such a message appeared, netizens rushed to Penguin Music without hesitation, and the number of online users on Penguin Music instantly exceeded ten million.

And 98% of people opened "Sorrow Relief".

This night was destined to be anything but peaceful. Xu Fan was quite alarmed when he received the pop-up notification. He never expected that Tencent Music would activate the pop-up function of all its software just for one of his songs.

This is very rare even within Tencent.

This level of promotion certainly exceeded Xu Fan's expectations.

On short video platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou, Xu Fan's singing videos instantly went viral across the internet. That boy, who seemed somewhat simple-minded, somewhat cute, and liked to tease people, leaving them speechless, sang so beautifully.

After the show "The Coming One" ended, Xia Ziling opened Douyin.

She discovered that on average, one out of every three videos played Xu Fan's "Sorrow".

The more she flipped through the pages, the more alarmed she became, thinking, "What if you found out that 'Saying Goodbye' was also sung by Xu Fan?"

The idea only flashed through her mind for a moment before she instantly dismissed it.

She thought it best to keep this a secret.

But for some reason, when she heard this song on Douyin, her mind started racing with random thoughts. She didn't know what she was thinking, she just felt confused.

After hesitating for a moment, she still took out Xu Fan's phone number and dialed it.

"Graduation ceremony is next Tuesday, have you thought about singing a song or something?"

Zhao Feiyang sat next to Xu Fan, looking out the window, seemingly lost in thought. He had an earphone in one ear by the window, apparently listening to music.

Xu Fan said, "I'm not interested."

Zhao Feiyang nodded and didn't say anything more. Just then, Xu Fan's phone rang.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

"Did you need something?"

Do you have time now?

"what happened?"

Do you have time now?

Xu Fan glanced at the time; it was 10 p.m. He had been busy all night and hadn't eaten dinner, so he said, "I'm going to eat."

"Let's go together. I'm at school, you come pick me up at the school gate."

Xia Ziling hung up the phone, and Xu Fan stared at his phone in bewilderment. What did this mean?
