Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 104 I've waited for a whole year, and this is all you have to tell me?!
Noon, twelve o'clock sharp.

Jinling, a university dormitory.

Li Tong, who had just finished lunch in the cafeteria, hurried into the dormitory, took out his earphones and plugged them into his mobile phone.

Open Shopee Music, "Red Bean" has been officially unlocked and is priced at 29.9 yuan.

After paying the balance and successfully purchasing, she couldn't wait to start listening.

She was not particularly satisfied with Xu Lingyue's album from last year. It couldn't be said to be bad, but it was certainly far worse than her peak period.

The reason why Yang Yan had the confidence to act so arrogantly was not only because she was willing to spend money on marketing, but also because of Xu Lingyue’s own degeneration.

If you want to keep the throne, you have to rely on your own efforts!

As a die-hard fan, she has been waiting for this album for a whole year!

The title song "Red Bean" is already an old friend. In the past month or so, she has played it on repeat at least five times almost every day and never gets tired of it.

However, that version was obviously recorded in a hurry and seemed a bit rough.

Let’s listen to this officially recorded version first and see how much improvement it has made!

Hmm... the arrangement elements seem to be a little richer, but not much, and it basically still has the original flavor.

The song is already very fitting, and really doesn’t need a lot of MSG added to it.

The next song is... "Zhu Yan"?
Lyrics/Music: Xu Lingyue.

Well, there are also original songs.

After listening to the prelude, Li Tong frowned quietly.

Why does it feel like something is not right?
After listening to a part of the song while comparing it to the lyrics, her brows furrowed more and more.

It’s not that unpleasant, but how should I put it...it’s very twisted.

Just like the songs in last year’s album, the original basic flavor is indeed retained, but there are also obvious changes.

In the words of some old fans in the group - they didn't want to lose old fans, but also wanted to cater to potential new fans, and the result was a hodgepodge.

This song "Zhu Yan" still has the same feeling.

The third song is "Crystal".

Lyrics/Music: Xu Lingyue.

After listening to the entire song with his eyes fixed on the lyrics, Li Tong's brows relaxed.

It has nothing to do with relief or joy, but rather with basic despair.

The quality of these two songs that I wrote myself is hard to describe.

The fourth song is "Flowers Like Fog".

Lyrics: Gao Minghui.

Music: Li Wei.

Li Tong's heart sank immediately.

It’s over.

The number of original songs in this new album has been reduced to only two?!
This is the foundation of your career in the music industry!
Could it be... that he has really run out of ideas? !
After listening to only half of it, she couldn't help but change the song, feeling inexplicably irritated.

Ever since she joined the "Mooncake" army, this was the first time she felt that Xu Lingyue's songs were unpleasant.

It's really unpleasant to hear, without any hint of anger.

The arrangement is messy and the lyrics have a strange, obscure, literary flavor.

This feeling inexplicably reminded her of her junior high school days. At that time, she always liked to use unfamiliar words and phrases to write essays. She thought her writing was brilliant, but in fact it was all empty talk.

Looking back, it seems childish.

And this song "Flowers Like Fog" has the same flavor.

If it was put in an ordinary singer's album, it might be a good filler song, but in Xu Lingyue's album...

Can't comment.

The fifth song, "Flowing Light".

Lyricist: Han Rui.

Music: Li Wei.

Listened halfway, cut.

The sixth song, "Flying Flowers".

Listened halfway, cut.

……

cut……

……

Cut again...

Gone.

Gone?

Gone? !
Li Tong was completely confused.

What is all this? ! !
Except for Red Bean, what other stuff is garbage?!
I waited a whole year, and this is all you tell me?!
Is it that your song is bad, or is there something wrong with my aesthetic taste?
I opened the computer and logged into Penguin Chat, and several fan groups immediately lit up, all with 99+ unread messages.

Just open a group...

"What kind of crappy songs are these? I'm sick of them!" "Except for 'Red Beans', none of the other songs are worth listening to. How can she have the nerve to release an album of this quality?!"

"What happened to her? Why did she regress to this extent?"

"The only good song is free to listen to. I wasted thirty dollars for nothing. I am so stupid!"

Change group.

"I thought last year's photo was bad enough, but I didn't expect it to be even worse this year. I'm impressed!"

"Since you've made an exception to buy songs, can't you spend a little more money to buy a few good ones? What kind of rubbish are these songs?"

Change another group.

"This is the first time I haven't been able to listen to the entire Red Bean album. I really can't get through it."

"Brother, I have already broken the CD. It is very annoying to watch."

"It feels like she has been forgotten by everyone. Her creativity will never come back."

"Oh, it's so depressing to hear that..."

Almost all groups are complaining or even swearing.

In addition, people continue to quit the group and stop following the group, expressing their disappointment with practical actions.

Originally she wanted to go to Weibo to take a look, but now... she no longer dared to go.

You can imagine what the scene will be like there with just your toes...

When I was still strong, those black fans came to team building every few days. Now that I have revealed a fatal flaw, won’t they celebrate to death?
"It seems... it's not my aesthetic taste that's wrong." Li Tong smiled bitterly, "It's definitely her song that's wrong."

"And there was a big problem. If the quality was similar to the previous one, the reputation wouldn't be so bad..."

While I was feeling sentimental, my three roommates came back from the cafeteria.

"Tongtong, why did you run so fast? You haven't even finished your meal!"

"Is there any need to ask? He must have come back to listen to music. Xu Lingyue is releasing a new album today."

"Yeah, how do you feel after listening to it?"

"It's on Shopee Music, right? I'll buy one too."

"I'll buy one too. I like her songs, too."

"Then I wouldn't be incompatible if I don't buy it... Shopee Music, right?"

Seeing that the three roommates were ready to place orders to support, Li Tong hesitated for a moment and said through gritted teeth: "Don't buy it."

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and looked up at the same time.

"What did you say?"

"Don't buy it." Li Tong said with a red face: "This album... is terrible, not worth buying. If you want to spend money, just buy the single "Red Bean"."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three roommates were collectively petrified.

After being stunned for a long time, one of them came up and touched Li Tong's forehead. "Strange, you don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?"

"Could it be bewitched?"

"possible……"

The three roommates knew very well how much Li Tong liked Xu Lingyue. It was beyond the word obsession.

On weekdays, the three of them were often brainwashed by Amway.

But now, Xu Lingyue finally released a new album, but Li Tong actually advised them not to buy it...

If this isn't being possessed by evil spirits, what is it?!

"I don't have a fever nor am I possessed by evil spirits. I'm serious." Li Tong sighed, "None of us are wealthy. I can't just watch you waste your money. It's really not nice."

The three of them looked at each other in horror.

How bad is this new album that even a die-hard fan like Li Tong would defect?
"Tongtong, how about we listen to it first?"

Li Tong nodded, logged into Shopee Music on the computer, and then turned on the speakers to play the music.

A quarter of an hour later, the three roommates patted Li Tong on the shoulder with a sigh on their faces.

"thank you."

…………

In a luxury house in Mingzhu City.

Yang Yan listened to the entire album with headphones on, her face almost distorted with anger.

"Damn, damn!"

"If I had known this album was so bad, why would I have spent that much money to suppress her popularity! Even if I let it sell freely, it wouldn't make much of a splash!"

When she thought about the huge amount of marketing money that was wasted, she felt a pang of pain.

Money, it’s all money!

But when she thought of this ear-splitting album, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Xu Lingyue, ah Xu Lingyue, you have come to this day too?!"

"It's my turn this year. If I don't take advantage of this great opportunity, wouldn't your kindness be wasted?!"

On the sofa, Lu Junfeng was wearing headphones and sighing, with a hint of hidden pity in his eyes.

Xu Lingyue...is finished.
