They don't actually think I like them, do they?

Any random netizen on Weibo knows more about using Mangzi than you do!

Many fans were greatly disappointed.

Since it's a weekday morning, many people don't feel like listening to music right away and prefer to wait until after get off work.

Many people, after hearing about it online or from friends, simply stopped looking for the song and planned to listen to it whenever they remembered.

This is also the pent-up resentment that many netizens have accumulated due to their long-term dissatisfaction with orange jam.

What kind of person can remain single to this day after having so many scandals and writing so many love songs for other people?

Some fans online have even started to seriously analyze whether Orange Jam is impotent, otherwise it's really hard to explain such a thing.

Fortunately, no matter how disappointed I am with Orange Jam, I will still listen to the new song.

After all, it's marmalade.

......

It was noon, and after most people had started their lunch break, there was finally time to listen to new songs.

In the canteen of Bilibili's headquarters building, many office workers enjoy their lunch time after a tiring morning's work.

At this moment, people were coming and going, and most of the people in the entire building had gathered here.

at this time,

The radio started playing a song that no one had ever heard before.

Soon, people recognized it as Orange Jam's new song, "The Seventh Chapter of the Night".

"1983, alleyway, sunny December..."

As Ju Zi Jiang's rap came over the loudspeaker, many people in the large cafeteria stopped, lingered, and looked up curiously.

Everyone was captivated by this retro and eerie musical style that they had never heard before.

"It has a dark theme, it's so addictive!"

"The lyrics are a bit like 'Nocturne,' wow, this rap is so cool!"

The cafeteria quickly became noisy as everyone excitedly began commenting on the song.

The music department staff at Bilibili also offered their professional analysis for everyone.

"The deep, resonant bass is best complemented by the drumbeats, while the high, melancholic tones are best achieved by the high notes of the female vocals and countless violins, all accompanied by the piano, suggesting a detective who has seen through the truth engaging in a battle of wits with the murderer in the darkness."

"Amazing, absolutely amazing! This is Ju Zi Jiang! I've had the privilege of working with him, and his singing skills are truly undeniable!"

Although they said they worked together, in reality, the group in the music department only listened to Orange Jam record songs from afar outside the recording studio. But that doesn't stop them from bragging about it for a lifetime!

“I’m curious about one thing,” an employee raised his hand, “How do you guys understand the lyrics when the rap is so fast?”

"Ahem!" Everyone in the music department lowered their heads awkwardly and quietly stuffed their phones back into their pockets.

Yes, although Orange Jam's rap is top-notch and his lyrics are amazing, it's really hard to understand what he's singing if you don't look at the lyrics and just listen to the song!

Meanwhile, sitting at the next table were members of the Bilibili animation production team, who started chatting while eating.

"I heard from a rumor that Orange Jam terminated her contract early by exchanging it for the animation we're currently working on. Is that true?"

"If it's true, that would be absolutely amazing!"

Everyone else was enjoying the song, but the entire animation team felt immense pressure.

If they let such a monster go free, what kind of animation would they have to make to make it worthwhile?!

106. The Rise of Classical Music

"Hey, I remember Orange Jam wasn't with our company before?"

Just then, such a sound suddenly came from the next table.

The animation production team immediately stiffened and sat up straight.

"Yeah, I saw him at the company before! Why can't I see him now?"

"Don't you know? Orange Jam terminated its contract with our company a long time ago. It's said that we exchanged it for a project."

"Huh? What kind of project is so amazing? It actually managed to let Orange Marmalade go?!"

"Wow! What kind of mega-project is that?! Hey, do you guys know anything about it?"

Suddenly, the people at the next table turned their questions to the animation production team.

"Cough cough!"

The team leader was the first to stand up, saying, "I'm full."

"I'm full too!" another person suddenly stood up.

Everyone got up, cleared away their dishes, and then fled the canteen as quickly as possible.

Those around them were completely baffled.

Do people in this department even have the same meal times?

The group that had escaped the cafeteria held a short meeting in the corridor.

Everyone looked grave.

Previously, they had never realized what a significant mission they were shouldering. Or rather, they had a feeling about it, but couldn't truly grasp it.

After hearing Orange Jam's "The Seventh Chapter of the Night," everyone sobered up.

Manager Xu, you're so foolish!!

They also didn't know what kind of charm this author, Coffee Sauce, possessed that made the company willing to pay such a high price to buy back "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend".

Although the fact that this animation was obtained by exchanging orange jam is still a relatively confidential topic within the company, and only the company's senior management and some members of the animation production team know about it.

But eventually, the truth will come out. Such a big thing as Juzi Jam's contract termination will inevitably lead to people investigating the reasons behind it, and it's only a matter of time before this matter is made public.

If the rest of the company finds out and the animation doesn't live up to expectations, the entire animation production team's reputation will be in jeopardy!

Pressure as heavy as Mount Tai.

The team leader leaned against the window and took a deep drag on his cigarette.

Turning to face his anxious employees, he made up his mind.

"Comrades."

"Starting today, everyone work overtime and give it your all!"

"If Orange Jam is a top-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry, then let's make 'Passerby' a top-tier animation in the animation world, so they know that Bilibili can also create excellent animations!!"

Everyone raised their hands and cheered.

This is a battle for dignity! Also known as the battle to protect one's own mother!

.......

In just one afternoon, "Juzi Jam's 'The Seventh Chapter of the Night'" finally overwhelmed the Weibo post about the birth of famous rock godfather Wang Han's daughter, taking the top spot on the trending topics list.

This marks the second time in just half a month that Lin Han has topped the traffic charts since the release of his first music video.

This song, which can be appreciated by both the refined and the popular, is not only a cause for celebration for fans of Chinese pop music this time.

Even in the music academic community, some scholars have begun to show great interest in this song.

Mr. Tang Yutang, the former head of the Orchestral Department of the China Conservatory of Music, discussed this piece with his colleagues in his office.

"Isn't this a brilliant combination of classical and pop music? Interesting! Really interesting!"

There was a time when the academy was so averse to classical music.

However, with the emergence of more and more excellent classical music works, especially after the release of "Salut d'Amour", more and more open-minded academies have begun to gradually accept this style.

In fact, music is an art form, and it is inappropriate to discriminate against a particular art style.

However, the prevailing attitude over the past twenty years cannot be changed overnight. It is already a good thing that most people in Chinese music academies now hold an attitude of "neither approving nor opposing" classical music.

"I never imagined that one day our Professor Tang would also start appreciating classical music," a colleague joked with a smile.

"Times are progressing, and many excellent classical music works have indeed emerged this year, which is commendable."

"Does the professor still remember that girl from three years ago?" his colleague asked.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yutang smiled.

"Of course, the cellist from Jinchuan, I think her name is... Su Ruxue."

The professor pronounced "Su Ruxue" accurately and clearly.

There are so many competitions every year, but this contestant left a deep impression on the entire orchestral world back then.

A young girl with exceptional talent was eliminated because her unconventional performance of classical music offended the judges.

It is precisely because of this incident that music associations in all provinces across the country have launched a large-scale boycott of classical music.

Tang Yutang was one of the judges at the time.

"It's such a pity. Given the circumstances back then, there was nothing anyone could do."

If this ruins the career of an excellent cellist, it would certainly be a loss for the Chinese music community.

"She's also participating in this year's Longqin Cup."

"Really?"

The professor's eyes lit up.

"Yes. And her go-to composer, Orange Jam, is giving a lecture on classical music at Beijing University in a few days."

"interesting!"

Tang Yutang couldn't help but stand up from his seat.

"Help me make a phone call... uh, find that old Liu from the top 100 music department."

"What are you going to do?" the colleague asked in surprise.

"I went to sit in on the proceedings," Tang Yutang said with a smile.

......

Saturday, sunny, no classes.

Lin Han tidied her hair, changed into more casual clothes, and headed to the company.

Today, Lin Han is going to do something big.

This matter is far more important than anything else Lin Han is currently dealing with.

Because this is his future, and also the company's future, it determines whether Lin Han can take the next step.

Inspect the results of the three trainees.

It has been almost a month since Fang Yumeng, Lan Yu, and Mu Xin were recruited by the company to start training.

Although Lin Han did not participate in teaching the girls, he personally arranged all the trainees' learning plans.

Lin Han calls it the "Lin's Training Method".

As everyone knows, Lin Han was a notorious exam-taker when he was still in high school. Now, with his "trainee project" created based on his past life's experience and some of his own modifications, the intensity of the training is unimaginable.

Considering that Lan Yu and Fang Yumeng are both university students and have to attend classes during the day, Lin Han also took a humane approach—conducting teaching while ensuring that the girls' studies were not neglected.

In other words, attending classes is fine, the company will never stop you, you just need to come over in the evening to make up for the practice time, and the teacher will stay up with you until 5 a.m.

107. Study? Study my ass!

Lan Yu has lost count of how many days she has been with Jusheng Media.

Since arriving in this place, every day has felt like an eternity.

"Sister Lan, wake up!"

Under Mu Xin's repeated calls and the relentless bombardment of the alarm clock, Lan Yu rubbed her sleepy eyes and glanced at the time in despair.

5: 30.
