You were supposed to have a fake marriage with the diva, so how did you become her father?

Chapter 51 Unless she releases another song

Shen Yuege's Weibo post, though simple, was like a pebble dropped into a lake, creating ripples of surprise.

Those who were still mocking Shen Yuege online have stopped typing.

They clicked on the link to Shen Yuege's Weibo, already planning how to smear her after listening to the conversation.

The intro is mediocre, the chorus is unremarkable, the transitions are unclear, and the melody is ordinary.

In short, these are all the tricks they used before, which were always effective against minor singers.

But this thought vanished completely after actually clicking in and hearing the intro.

The clear, spring-like piano music accompanied Shen Yuege's ethereal and pure voice:

"A tranquil summer day, with stars twinkling in the sky."

I feel a pang of longing in my heart, longing for your face.

I can pretend I don't see it, or I can secretly miss it.

Until I can touch your warm face.

The melody is incredibly simple, but the sound, which blends with the unique characteristics of summer, elevates the song to an irresistibly beautiful level.

The lyrics depict a summer night that is tranquil and romantic, with a touch of girlish shyness and sweetness.

Countless listeners were captivated almost instantly upon hearing the first sentence.

Is this Shen Yuege's new song?

This was the audience's first reaction upon seeing Shen Yuege's Weibo post.

Isn't this a little too beautiful?

This was the first reaction viewers heard when they clicked on the link.

This song called "Ningxia" is really quite good, so much so that the haters don't even know where to begin criticizing it.

This is a beauty that is completely different from that of "The First Dream".

If "The First Dream" is sunlight piercing through the haze, then "Ningxia" is a cool breeze under the shade of a tree on a summer afternoon, light and pleasant, carrying a touch of nostalgia and sweetness.

The sudden emergence of "Ningxia" not only surprised the critics, but also gave his fans who have always supported him a pleasant surprise.

"She's here! She's here!"

"My God! This is so beautiful! What an amazing melody!"

"Shen Yuege's voice is so perfect for this style, so gentle and soothing!"

"Ningxia! What a beautiful name! I've already added it to my playlist!"

"Where's Heizi? Wasn't he yelling a lot just now? Come out and listen!"

"Always believe in Shen Yuege! I always knew Yuege wouldn't let us down!"

This moment is a celebration for the fans.

Music critic Erjun even published a lengthy review immediately:

"If 'The First Dream' showcased the power in Shen Yuege's voice, then 'Ningxia' fully unleashed the gentleness and agility in her voice."

The song's arrangement is exquisite. There are no complicated chord changes or flashy high notes, but it uses the simplest melody and arrangement to create the purest summer atmosphere.

This "less is more" production philosophy is a breath of fresh air in today's music scene, which is obsessed with complex arrangements.

At the same time, producer Tomorrow once again proved his accurate grasp of the essence of music.

I'm even somewhat looking forward to seeing whether 'Tomorrow' is stronger, or Lu Ran from Star Glory Entertainment is stronger.

Erjun truly lives up to her reputation as a professional music critic; she accurately captured the characteristics of the song in such a short time after its release.

She also noticed that the lyrics, music, and arrangement for this song were still done by that unknown big name, "Tomorrow".

The data for Ningxia has skyrocketed.

In just over ten minutes, it had already climbed into the top twenty of the new song chart, even surpassing most of Weng Qingya's songs from the same company.

Legendary Entertainment, in Weng Qingya's lounge.

The tablet was slammed onto the carpet, and the screen shattered instantly.

"How is this possible?!" Weng Qingya's face turned ashen, her chest heaving violently. "How could she possibly still have songs of this quality? Didn't the company already cut off all her resources?"

The agent stood to the side, her face equally grim: "Qingya, calm down..."

"Calm down? How can you expect me to calm down!" Weng Qingya roared. "How much money did President Hu and I spend on publicity? How many press releases did we buy? Now, all of that has been surpassed by Shen Yuege's single song! Look at the comments section, everyone's comparing my song to hers!"

She angrily pointed her finger at the tablet on the ground: "'After listening to 'Ningxia' and then 'The Summer of Cicadas,' the latter feels like a primary school student's composition'—how can I stay calm with such a comment?!"

Her team was completely silent.

They originally thought that with the company's full support and the power of President Hu, Weng Qingya would step over Shen Yuege to become the second superstar, and they would also rise to prominence along with her.

But the current situation seems to be very bad. They don't know if Weng Qingya can become a superstar, but they already feel that there is not much future in following her.

Some members of Weng Qingya's team have already developed ulterior motives.

In Hu Zhengming's office, Hu Zhengming's face didn't look much better than Weng Qingya's.

Originally, it was thought that with the company's full support, Weng Qingya would definitely rise to the top by stepping on Shen Yuege.

Who would have thought that Shen Yuege would not fade into obscurity as they had predicted, but instead released a single that could be described as a bombshell.

At this moment, Hu Zhengming was even a little scared, afraid that Shen Yuege would really turn the tables.

"Investigate! Find out who this 'Tomorrow' is!" Hu Zhengming gritted his teeth. "I don't believe an unknown producer could write two songs of this caliber in a row! Someone must be helping her!"

Myth Entertainment, Xu Manlin's private dressing room.

Compared to Weng Qingya and Hu Zhengming's loss of composure, Xu Manlin appeared much calmer, but her expression was still not good.

She was wearing headphones and had already played "Ningxia" on repeat more than a dozen times.

With each repetition, her brow furrowed a little more.

Finally, she took off her headphones and let out a long breath.

"Sigh, it really is a good song!" Xu Manlin sighed deeply. "The melody is simple but not monotonous, the lyrics are fresh and unpretentious, and the arrangement perfectly complements the vocals."

"Who exactly is this 'Tomorrow'? This song he created perfectly matches Shen Yuege's characteristics. His skill has reached a level of perfection. It's a pity that Wanwan Jingting has been unwilling to reveal any information about 'Tomorrow'."

The assistant cautiously asked, "Sister Lin, so, shall we...?"

"What's the panic?" Xu Manlin glanced at her, her tone regaining its calmness. "I laugh at Shen Yuege for being reckless and lacking in wisdom. 'Ningxia' is good, but my 'Flying Against the Light' and 'When the Wind Rises' are not bad either."

"The outcome of one song doesn't mean anything. If I were her, I would definitely save up two songs of equal quality before releasing them."

At the same time, Shen Yuege posted a second Weibo post.

@Shen YuegeV:

"The second song, 'Summer Breeze'.av".
