Bai Yuwei worships Nan Ye as her teacher

Lou Zhihe might not be a walking encyclopedia, but his insights into music are truly unique.

"I don't think this metaphor is inappropriate here at all. On the contrary, I find it quite stunning and unforgettable the moment you hear it.

The key to a metaphor is novelty. The first person to describe a beauty as a flower was a poet; everyone who keeps using it afterward is a fool.

We usually say eyes are like evening stars.

But here it says the evening stars are like 'your eyes'.

The evening stars are honored to resemble you – this is a description only a poet would use.

In essence, it's to emphasize how beautiful the eyes are, so beautiful they are unforgettable for a lifetime, further highlighting that feeling of love.

This is the first layer of novelty.

The line 'killing and setting fires' actually has many interpretations.

It belongs to synesthesia.

If my heart were a city, you'd be killing and setting fires within it, doing whatever you pleased, having already conquered me.

This is the second layer of novelty.

Perhaps that's a bit far-fetched, let's try another way.

In "The Deer and the Cauldron," Wei Xiaobao's first words upon seeing Ah Ke were 'I'm dead,' and then he fainted.

The usage here is similar.

Using 'killing' to describe the 'heart-stopping' feeling of seeing your beloved for the first time.

'Setting fires' refers to the burning flame of love within one's heart.

Although it seems a little exaggerated, when you truly face the person you love, you'll know how impulsive your heart is.

This is the third layer of novelty!"

This time, Lou Zhihe really gave it his all, saying everything he could think of.

[Seriously, how did you manage to interpret so much from such a short lyric? Isn't it reasonable to give a perfect score?]

[Absolutely impressed. Now I feel like I'm only fit to listen to simple pop songs. I couldn't grasp the depth of these lyrics at all.]

[Prostrate myself in admiration, truly. The seemingly inappropriate wording in this song turns out to be its essence!]

[...]

After Lou Zhihe's interpretation, the song reached another level in the Netizens' hearts.

After Lou Zhihe finished speaking, Zhao Song stepped forward again:

"Nan Ye, the first time I heard 'Picture,' I felt you had great talent in folk music.

This song, """mohe ballroom""", shows me your creativity. You are truly amazing. This song is very likely to elevate folk music to a new height!"

[Tsk tsk, this is definitely the longest sentence Teacher Zhao Song has ever said. He really thinks highly of Nan Ye!]

Nan Ye quickly responded, "Thank you, Teacher Zhao, for your praise. You're exaggerating; I still need to continue learning from you..."

Leap, who loved gossip, was an restless character. He @Li Keyu for the third time, but didn't type anything this time.

Meanwhile, Li Keyu on the other side was going crazy.

Be a decent human being, stop mentioning me!

He directly exited the live stream, out of sight, out of mind!

"I'm leaving, going to practice singing!" Li Keyu subtly revealed a hint of irritation.

The members of Sea Snail Boy Group all knew Li Keyu was fearless, yet this time he actually took the initiative to suggest practicing singing?

This means... he's panicked!

...

After the live stream ended, Nan Ye found the video recorded by Bai Yuwei.

It was the footage of him singing these two songs, very clean and not as chaotic as the live stream.

He then added the lyrics subtitles and directly uploaded it to TikTok.

After finishing everything, the three of them packed some barbecue, grabbed some beer, and went to the riverside to eat and drink heartily.

Xia Shi's beer bottle clinked against Nan Ye's.

"Brother Nan, amazing! These two songs are definitely going to be a massive hit tonight."

Nan Ye just smiled faintly, "I'll take your good wishes!"

He wasn't surprised at all that these two songs would become popular.

Even if this is a parallel world, the quality of the songs is undeniable. In this era where the music industry is dying, it would be difficult for them *not* to become popular.

Only when the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill did they notice Bai Yuwei was still beside them.

"Bai Yuwei, didn't you have something to talk to Brother Nan about?"

The two didn't know each other originally, so Xia Shi had to act as the go-between.

Bai Yuwei's original intention was to ask for a song, but she had changed her mind now.

Asking for songs would only get her one or two at most, no more than that.

Why not approach it from a different angle?

"Nan Shen, I... I want to become your disciple and ask you to teach me how to sing!"

This sudden request startled Nan Ye, and he quickly refused:

"No, I'm one or two years younger than you. This discipleship doesn't make sense!"

Xia Shi was also stunned, never expecting Bai Yuwei's first words to be about becoming a disciple. This completely didn't fit her usual persona!

Bai Yuwei looked directly at Nan Ye, her eyes incredibly firm: "I'm not joking, I'm serious!"

A hint of inquiry flashed in Nan Ye's eyes: "Reason!"

"The reason is actually very simple: the capable are teachers. I couldn't catch up to your singing skills even if I spent five, ten, or even more years.

To be honest, what I admire even more is your songwriting ability.

Among my peers, I can't find a single Producer more skilled than you!"

These two reasons weren't just Bai Yuwei flattering him casually to become a disciple; they were all facts.

"Furthermore, as you said yourself, you're a year younger than me, yet you possess such talent at only 24."

If you were to mature for a few more years, you could easily become a Senior Producer.

It's even possible that one day in the future, you could earn the title of 'Song Daddy'!"

Bai Yuwei's attitude was extremely sincere, every word from her heart.

Nan Ye thought for a moment. Honestly, he wasn't very interested in taking disciples.

What he was interested in was Bai Yuwei's voice; it was too similar to Zhan Wenting's. If he let her sing "our love," it would definitely be a good choice.

"I've heard your songs. To be honest, your singing skills... haven't met my requirements yet."

Bai Yuwei's eyes first dimmed slightly, then lit up again.

He said it hadn't *yet* met his requirements, not that it completely failed to meet them.

This meant that as long as she improved her singing skills, there was still a possibility that he would accept her.

"I will definitely go back and practice my singing skills diligently!"

"Okay, keep it up. If you can meet my requirements, I'll give you a suitable song."

"Really... thank you!" Bai Yuwei became excited again internally.

...

A few days later!

Wangpai Entertainment, Jiang Qiuyue's office.

Jiang Qiuyue wasn't the only one in the room; there was also a middle-aged man wearing a black hat.

He was Wangpai Entertainment's Senior Producer, Li Yan.

"Old Li, your 'Wind and Moon Approaching Dusk' is already ninth on the popularity chart. Breaking into the trending chart this month won't be a problem!"

For the company, as long as a song can make it onto the trending chart, it's not a loss, and they can even make a profit.

Li Yan was also in a good mood: "Qiuyue, do you think this song can reach the top five on the trending chart?"

The top five on the trending chart actually all have the potential to become classic songs!

Sometimes, the song at number one on the trending chart is surpassed by the song at number two due to insufficient sustained popularity, while the second one becomes a classic because of its high singability.

Some things still need to be assessed based on the actual situation.

"To be honest, it's difficult!" Jiang Qiuyue felt Li Yan's song was good, but not *that* good yet.

"Huh, why did my song drop to tenth place?" Li Yan's exclamation of surprise attracted Jiang Qiuyue's attention.
