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

Back in the new neighborhood, Lin Han bought some daily necessities at the supermarket downstairs.

Towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, pillows, and blankets.

By the time Lin Han had arranged everything, it was already 11:40 p.m.

Finally, I can get down to business!

For Lin Han, the real show is just beginning.

Lin Han walked into the piano room, where there were boxes of all sizes, all of which were packages that had arrived that day.

Lin Han ordered all of these items online last night.

Since Lin Han bought the items from a store in the same city, all the packages arrived within a day.

Lin Han took out a utility knife and disassembled all the boxes one by one.

Laptop, speakers, headphones, microphone, lighting, camera...

Lin Han bought all the equipment he might need for music creation.

All of these things together cost Lin Han a total of over 38,000.

Including the rent and the deposit Yan Yuli gave him, Lin Han had already spent half of it in less than a week.

The fact that Lin Han, who is usually frugal, would take such drastic measures shows just how strong his resolve is!

Lin Han spent another two hours familiarizing himself with all the equipment and also took the opportunity to renovate the piano room.

From now on, this will be where Lin Han creates his works.

Now you can start recording the video.

He wants to re-record "Lovely Woman" in a singing and playing style.

The bar video that went viral online last night has now garnered over three million views on Bilibili. It's definitely a hot topic.

Because the video is only a little over forty seconds long and only sings the climax of the song once, many netizens have not heard the full version of the song and have therefore strongly requested the full version of the music.

Getting on board with the latest trends is the best decision Lin Han could make.

He set up the camera and lighting on the side, then sat down in front of the piano.

The camera could only capture images of Lin Han from the neck down.

Since showing his face increases his reputation and corruption index, Lin Han sees no need to reveal his face. After all, he's still a senior in high school and doesn't want to get into unnecessary trouble.

This "unnecessary trouble" largely stemmed from the comments section of that video.

In fact, while the comments section was flooded with positive reviews, there were also many dissenting voices. However, these were overshadowed by the overwhelming enthusiasm of those who liked it.

Yes, there are actually quite a few people online who are criticizing Lin Han!

Those who like it think that "Lovely Woman" is a song they've never heard before, a treasure song unlike any they've ever heard.

People who dislike it leave comments criticizing the song as cheesy, pretentious, nauseating, and utterly devoid of substance.

013. The True Meaning of Entertainment Collapse

Lin Han expressed his understanding of those who were hurling insults.

After all, even in a world as open as the one I lived in, there was still a small group of people who didn't like love songs.

Not to mention the people of this world, who are used to the war culture of twenty years ago, have never heard a love song as pure as "Lovely Woman" before!

In the comments section now, no matter how many people are criticizing, as long as overall there are more people praising than criticizing, Lin Han is already very satisfied.

Lin Han has a long way to go if he wants to change people's inherent aesthetic standards in this world; this song, "Lovely Woman," is just the first step.

Then the problem is coming.

Since love songs don't fit the aesthetics of this world, why doesn't Lin Han upload some songs that are more in line with the world's tastes?

In fact, there was never a lack of positive and uplifting songs in my past life.

Films that resonate with popular tastes include "Chasing Dreams," "The Ordinary Road," and "Old Boys."

For those with a broader scope, there are songs like "The Internationale," "Chinese," "Rare Characters," and "The Mighty Yangtze Flows Eastward."

This kind of sentiment, which rises to the level of national self-confidence and patriotism, can be said to be very much in line with the world's aesthetic.

Moreover, the entertainment industry in this world is so far behind, these songs are definitely of superior quality in comparison.

Any one of these songs would probably be a massacre in this world!

But that's a question for Lin Han's system.

Why is this system called "Entertainment Collapse System" instead of "Entertainment System"?

Because its goal is to have Lin Han subvert the world's entertainment culture!

It erodes the world with the most contrasting, unexpected, and incomprehensible cultural works, giving people a sense of aesthetic collapse!

In a simple word, it is cultural invasion.

And it's the most extreme kind of cultural invasion!

Of course, it was not the kind of cultural invasion that involved the Tungusic people invading China and forcing the Han people to cut their long hair into braids, a practice they had maintained for thousands of years.

It is a gentle, acceptable invasion, but once accepted, it feels incredibly devastating.

The more serious and rigid you are, the more absurd I will be; the more you advocate for patriotism, the more I will encourage you to love yourself.

If you start praising the beauty of love instead, I will expose the most selfish, dirty, and hypocritical side of the relationship between men and women to you.

This feeling is like, "The punches have no pattern, no matter how you defend, you can't defend against them!"

Just like Makoto Shinkai's film "Weathering With You".

Just when everyone thought it was a story about a weather maiden sacrificing herself to save the world, before anyone could even begin to marvel at her greatness, the tone shifted abruptly—the protagonist, Hodaka, shouted:

"Whether it's sunny or not doesn't matter, I just want Hina!"

Then the weather maiden returned, and the male and female leads got together, but Tokyo was flooded.

You think I'm telling a heroic story about universal love?

Wrong!

I am still singing the praises of love!

Moreover, they are doing this while stepping on the head of "saving the world," defecating on the head of "great love," and then praising love, elevating petty love to a new level.

I'm not that noble. I still have people I love. I don't want to die. I'll save whoever I want in this world.

In fact, isn't that a kind of romance?

Of course, the aftereffects are also quite obvious. People who would rather not save the world than save the world for love will naturally be despised by "righteous people", which also led to the low rating of "Weathering With You".

Look at Iron Man next door. He turned his wife into a widow with his own hands in order to save the world. His perspective on life has broadened so much. Look at him!

The above is Lin Han's complete understanding of the "Entertainment Collapse" system in his possession.

That's exactly what Lin Han needs to do.

In a way, he wanted to be Hodaka, not Iron Man; he wanted to create works like "Weathering With You," not "The Avengers."

Therefore, love songs are undoubtedly the most effective way to challenge the world's aesthetic standards.

The comments section of "Lovely Woman" is just a microcosm; similar controversies will continue to plague Lin Han for a long, long time to come.

All Lin Han needs to do now is satisfy the people who like him.

everything's ready.

Lin Han took a deep breath and turned on the camera.

Then Lin Han's fingers began to dance across the piano keys, and following the music, Lin Han softly sang into the microphone.

"I want a helicopter, I want to fly to space with you..."

Thanks to the upgrade of the vocal skill card, Lin Han's mastery of voice has reached a level of perfection.

He can produce a highly infectious voice with ease!

When a good song is paired with a heavenly voice.

My assessment is: a game-winning shot.

The video was recorded quickly.

Lin Han turned on his computer and logged into Bilibili.

The full name of Bilibili in this world is "KKB". It is also a video website that brings together young people and is at the forefront of entertainment culture, with all kinds of popular memes emerging one after another.

Lin Han registered an account and wanted to name it "Orange Jam," but found that the name was already taken.

These netizens are incredibly fast!

Lin Han had no choice but to change his name to "Orange Jam ovo".

Just as Lin Han was about to click to submit his work, a title in the event section caught his attention.

"Bilibili Folk Singing Contest, generous prizes await you to battle!"

Lin Han clicked into the event page.

Lin Han's eyes were filled with colorful anime characters, and he finally managed to find the event details—

"Want to become the folk singing god in everyone's eyes? Want to win huge prize money through singing? Want to get strong recommendations from the platform? Then come and participate in the Bilibili Singing God Competition! Just submit your singing video and include the relevant hashtag to participate in the competition!"

"Submission Requirements: Our competition seeks talented individuals from the community. Submitters must be content creators who have not released an album, participated in variety shows, or are not signed with a company. Any such submissions will result in disqualification!"

Then, at the bottom of the interface, the competition prizes are prominently displayed:

Champion: 30 RMB cash prize, with the opportunity to become an exclusive Bilibili artist!

Runner-up: 10 RMB cash prize, featured on the homepage of the entire website for one week.

Third place: 5 yuan cash prize, video will be given priority exposure.

......

As expected, this competition is absolutely a battle of the gods.

But at this moment, Lin Han's eyes were completely blinded by money.

30 million!

Wow, so much money!!

I was just about to submit my work when I stumbled upon this competition. Isn't it just a perfect opportunity for me?

Lin Han checked the date; the submission deadline was tomorrow.

At this point, the event page already features numerous recommendations of excellent works.

This is extremely disadvantageous for Lin Han, who entered last.

But we have to try it no matter what!

Without further hesitation, he quickly clicked "submit" on the competition page.

014. A fairy-like girl weighing 200 pounds~

Then, Lin Han ran into trouble when it came to giving the video a title.

For competitions like this, quality alone is definitely not enough.

If the video's viewership and likes aren't impressive, the judging panel won't even see it.

Therefore, setting aside the award, Lin Han's first priority is to make the video go viral, or at least ensure that the number of views isn't too low.

Simply calling it "The Complete Piano Performance of 'Lovely Woman'" sounds really low-class, and people who haven't seen bar videos won't click on it at all.

After thinking for a while, Lin Han suddenly came up with an idea.

He wanted a name that had a strong "B" flavor.

He typed the following in the title bar:

"Hello everyone, I'm Orange Sauce. Starting today, I'm joining Bilibili with 'Lovely Woman'!"

Who's Juzi Jiang? Who cares? They've already joined Bilibili, sounds like a big star.

Let's lure people in first and let them listen to the music!

Once the video is uploaded, you're all done.
