  Chapter 18 Polarization

  Perhaps Zhang Xiyang and "Song for Myself" were indeed a match made in heaven. The recording on the second day was completed without much effort, and then Lin Xi quickly arranged for the release of the song.

  The work efficiency of Shinhwa Music Department is very worthy of recognition.

   This month's season ranking competition has already begun, but "Song for Myself" is not considered airborne in the strict sense. After all, it is only one day late, and it is already a little earlier than Lin Xi expected.

  Before the song was officially released, Lin Xi deliberately chatted with Zhang Xiyang.

"Teacher Zhang."

  Lin Xi looked at Zhang Xiyang seriously.

"If you haven't released a song for three years, I won't rush you. This is the choice and decision I made, but since you have released a song, you must cooperate with the promotion. This is responsible for the song and for yourself. "

  Zhang Xiyang was once very popular, and his fans were all over Qinzhou.

  It is so popular that it is favored by countless people in the industry, thinking that it is expected to become the king of singers!

  However, after the divorce, Zhang Xiyang's condition became worse and worse, and his songs became less and less, until it was completely silent three years ago, and he was no longer seen in the announcement, and the music scene was almost gone.

  If it wasn't for this reason, Sanbu would not have broken up with Zhang Xiyang.

   After Lin Xi brought Zhang Xiyang to the Thirteenth Department, she did not force him to start work. She felt that she could wait, but she had the patience that the Third Department did not have.

  It was as if I had been waiting for my brother to get out of that haze.

  Now that three years have passed, it seems that it was a matter of fate, my brother and Zhang Xiyang, two people who were once bound by old injuries, unexpectedly had such a wonderful intersection.

  Lin Xi felt that her patience had paid off, but she couldn't help worrying, would Zhang Xiyang really accept her arrangement?

"Do not worry."

  Zhang Xiyang looked up at Lin Xi, his eyes were not cloudy under his bangs that hadn't been done much.

   "I will cooperate with all the propaganda in the ministry. Some songs should not be let down."

   paused.

  He suddenly thanked him softly.

   "Thank you for waiting for me. I also know that there are more people waiting for me in the outside world."

   "Three days later, "Cloud Song Club", this is your first promotional stop!"

  Lin Xi smiled, and use this song to announce to the outside world that Zhang Xiyang, who was not afraid of the king of singers back then, is back.

   "Okay, I also miss the scene a little bit."

   While Zhang Xiyang decided to return to the Qinzhou music scene.

  Lin Zhibai also received a message from his sister on his mobile phone:

   "Running into the arena at eight o'clock tonight."

"OK."

  Lin Zhibai didn't say much.

  The system arranged an additional question for Lin Zhibai in this task.

   That is, he won the first place in the season list.

  Lin Zhibai felt that there was little hope.

   It’s not that this song is bad, of course this song is good, very good, Lin Zhibai likes it very much.

   It’s just that everyone knows that in many cases, the best work may not be the most popular work in the market. It is still a disadvantage to hit the charts with the style of this song.

  But the charm of a good song will not be easily obliterated.

  Lin Zhibai didn't want "Song for Myself" to reach the top of the season chart. His goal this time is only to be in the top ten.

  If it is only the top ten in the season list, it should be possible, right?

   Didn’t it mean that Zhang Xiyang was once very popular, so there should be some fans, right?

  Season rankings are of course the quality of the world, but the support of fans is definitely a factor that cannot be forcibly ignored.

  Don't you see that Xiao Xianrou in his previous life could suppress countless seniors just by relying on the power of fans?

  Of course, Blue Star’s market is not so demonized. Lin Zhibai recently researched the season rankings and found that although the top-ranked songs here are popular, they also have enough connotation to support them.

   This is the opportunity for "Song for Myself".

  Maybe I should have more confidence in this song to hit the chart?

  …

  Eight o'clock that night.

  Several music player platforms that cooperate with Shinhwa Entertainment arranged for the launch of "Song for Myself" at the same time.

  In a rental house.

  After get off work, Zhao Yu was as usual, comfortably nestled on the sofa listening to music.

Sudden.

  The mobile phone received a notification: [The musician Baidi you follow has released a new song! 】

   "White Emperor?"

  Zhao Yu suddenly looked forward to it.

   After listening to "Dissipating Sorrow" last month, Zhao Yu liked it very much, so he specially followed Baidi on the Huoshaoyun platform.

  In this way, as long as the other party has a new work, he will receive a reminder.

   I just didn't expect that this Baidi would release a new song so soon.

   Click to open it.

  The title of the song is "Song for Myself".

  The title of the song is surprising, but after listening to the song for so many years, Zhao Yu has seen a lot of weird song titles, and Zhao Yu didn't think much about it, but the singer of this song stunned him for several seconds.

  Zhang Xiyang?

   Is it the Zhang Xiyang who was so popular three years ago, and even defeated the king of singers in the season rankings and successfully reached the top?

   Haven't heard from this man for years.

  Zhao Yu also listened to some of Zhang Xiyang’s songs back then, and still has a few songs in his mobile phone, which he would occasionally take out to listen to, but he didn’t expect this one to come back!

  The first comeback work is still a collaboration with Baidi, the creator of "Sorrow"!

   Is this considered a strong alliance? Zhao Yu immediately looked forward to it even more, and immediately clicked to listen.

   This song is four minutes and thirty-eight seconds long.

  When Zhao Yu first listened, he was still very interested.

  But listening to Zhao Yu's brows, he frowned slightly.

  How do you rate this song?

  I feel that the composition is very skillful, and the lyrics are also very good.

  Though the words are not as gorgeous as "Sorrow", they seem more straightforward and simple.

   There is a very poignant feeling, that kind of transparent sense of love and life, even more direct to the heart than "Sorrow", as if it was tailor-made for Zhang Xiyang by Bai Di——

  Many people know about Zhang Xiyang's depression after divorce.

   And the words and phrases Zhang Xiyang sang in this song, aren't they all about himself?

   But the problem is, I don't think it sounds good!

  Sometimes a thousand words and ten thousand words are not worth a single sentence.

   To use an inappropriate analogy, it’s like those classical piano pieces. Although they are very compelling and highly praised by some people, I just can’t appreciate them myself. I can only vaguely feel that there is something.

  This "Song for Myself" is also.

  Zhao Yu felt that the melody was not catchy enough, and the style was a little uninspiring, and the climax part was a bit interesting, but that was all.

"no feelings."

  Zhao Yu shook his head, but for the sake of Bai Di and Zhang Xiyang, he listened to it a second time.

  No way, I still don’t feel it.

   A little curious, he clicked on the comment section. He wanted to see what the outside world would think of Baidi's new song and Zhang Xiyang, a once popular singer who returned to the music scene.

   "The missing person is back!?"

   The first hot comment made Zhao Yu smile knowingly.

   I haven't heard from Zhang Xiyang for two or three years. Could it be that the missing person in the music scene has returned?

   "White Emperor is the composer of "Sorrow"?"

   "The cooperation between Baidi's new song and Zhang Xiyang, who has returned to the music scene, should be one plus one greater than two. Why do you feel that this song is very ordinary?"

   "Add one upstairs, I think so too."

   "Maybe it's "Sorrow" that made me expect too much of Baidi?"

   "My expectations for Zhang Xiyang are also very high, but this song doesn't attract me that much."

   "Upstairs, are you serious? Or is my taste too niche? Is this song not good? Maybe I'm hypocritical, and I shed tears after listening to it halfway."

   "I am a fan of Zhang Xiyang, I think this song is very, very good, I am very grateful to Baidi, and welcome the return of the great devil in the music world!"

   "Why is Zhang Xiyang the Great Devil in the music world? Can this song be called the Great Devil?"

"Lao Zhang's popularity back then, if it wasn't for the divorce, it wouldn't be uncommon for him to become the King of Songs now. Besides, his singing skills are no worse than that of the King of Songs. As for this song, it's hard for me to comment. I'm sure I like it, or this song, I feel like Baidi tailor-made it for Zhang Xiyang, so the title of the song is "Song for Myself."

   "This song is not worse than "Sorrow" at all."

   "I just want to say that this song deserves to be Zhang Xiyang's comeback work!"

   "Disagree."

   "It is recommended to listen to it several times. This song requires you to taste it repeatedly to taste the taste of Zhang Xiyang. This song seems to be the singer's own story."

   Ah this?

  Is the comment a bit polarizing?

  Zhao Yu didn't scroll down any further, but felt that his own taste could represent the majority.

  Because of the top ten comments, except for irrelevant comments, 60% said that they couldn't get this song.

   "It has to be "Sorrow"."

  Zhao Yu muttered and switched back to playing "Sorrow".

  In fact, he has been listening to this song for more than ten days, and he is a little tired, but he can still listen to it for a while.

   This is a very normal thing. After a long time, you will get tired of everything. After all, there are very few songs that you can listen to for ten and a half months and still feel the same as when you first saw them.

   While Zhao Yu lost interest in Baidi's new song.

  Some people in the Qinzhou music scene also noticed this new song.

   "White Emperor?"

   "Zhang Xiyang?"

   Really two names that people have to care about...
