Three good songs in three months.

Are newcomers this prolific nowadays?

Some even began to suspect that this Xian Yu might be a Master Composer in disguise, playing a prank on his peers.

After all, the industry has never banned composers from using pseudonyms to enter the scene.

And given the quirky personalities of Master Composers, such things have happened before.

The next day, Starlight Entertainment issued an internal response:

Xian Yu is not a Master Composer in disguise; he is indeed a newcomer.

Within the company, many who have seen Xian Yu confirmed this statement and added some information: Xian Yu is male, not very old, and only recently joined the Composition Department…

“That means he has a lot of accumulated work.”

“Right, it might not be that he’s so prolific, but rather that Xian Yu had accumulated some good songs before officially entering the industry, and now he’s releasing them in quick succession, giving everyone the impression of being prolific.”

“But this also shows his strength.”

If it’s not a Master Composer’s prank, then this is the only explanation left.

Some reporters tried to interview Xian Yu, wanting to see the true face of this newcomer, but were refused by Starlight, with the reason being:

“Xian Yu doesn’t like to be disturbed.”

This wasn’t Starlight’s decision, but Lin Yuan’s. For this, Old Zhou even specifically sought Lin Yuan’s opinion.

No one was surprised by this.

Because there are many composers in the industry with personalities like Xian Yu.

They never accept interviews and almost refuse any form of exposure, except for signing their names after their works—

Not to mention Lin Yuan.

Even some Master Composers in the industry are so mysterious that only their names are known, not their faces.

As a famous saying in the composition world goes: “The farther I am from the audience, the greater the imaginative space left in my work.”

Who exactly said this is no longer verifiable.

But this sentence indeed speaks to the hearts of many composers.

People have different personalities.

Some want the whole world to know them.

But those who choose to stay behind the scenes mostly have no interest in being in the spotlight.

In the following days, “Flammable and Explosive” surged with momentum, with its data continuously rising, and the gap with the top two narrowing.

And when the time came to the seventh day.

At Sand Sea Culture, first-tier singer Zheng Liang was urging his assistant in the lounge: “Quickly call the publicity department, I need more resources and advertisements, the gap with the first place isn’t very big!”

“Okay!”

The assistant was also excited, feeling that the dawn of victory had appeared, but just as he was about to leave, Zheng Liang’s agent stopped him: “No need.”

Zheng Liang frowned: “What do you mean no need?”

The agent said: “The rankings have changed.”

Zheng Liang was overjoyed: “Already first? That’s great, but it’s not stable enough, we need to increase publicity, the battle is very intense.”

“No.”

The agent sighed: “You’re third now.”

Zheng Liang doubted his ears: “Wasn’t I second?”

The agent shook his head: “Miscalculated.”

Zheng Liang was silent for a few seconds, then sighed as if accepting his fate:

“Still got caught up.”

The agent looked at him: “Didn’t you expect this?”

Zheng Liang nodded: “But I didn’t expect to be caught up in the first week, I originally wanted to sit in the first position before ‘Flammable and Explosive’ reached the top.”

Yes.

Zheng Liang knew very well that “Flammable and Explosive” would definitely become the champion track this month, he just wanted to briefly be in the first position.

“Too humble.”

He thought helplessly.

The agent comforted: “Anyway, the first place will change tomorrow, if you can’t get first, what’s the difference between second and third.”

“True.”

Zheng Liang smiled: “Now, no one in this world should understand Chen Zhiyu’s feelings better than I do.”

In fact, there was no need to wait for the next day.

Because at eight o’clock that night, the first place had already changed.

Everyone who opened the new song chart would see that the first place had become “Flammable and Explosive.”

Lyrics/Composition: Xian Yu

Downloads: 335,100

It must be said that this download volume is much higher than the first week’s data of the top ten on the Newcomer Chart.

But this is the appeal of famous singers.

Even Zhao Yingge’s fame is not comparable to a pure newcomer, after all, she is the champion of “Bloom.”

Moreover, Xian Yu is no longer a pure newcomer, he already has two representative works under his name.

But the industry’s astonishment was not diminished in the slightest.

Despite the first day’s performance of “Flammable and Explosive” already foreshadowing this outcome—

“Comeback.”

“Counterattack.”

“Dark horse.”

“Reversal.”

Similar words appeared in countless people’s minds.

No one expected that the blockade that Brilliant Silver Light and Sand Sea were determined to achieve would instead make two first-tier singers stepping stones for Zhao Yingge!

On this day.

The news headlines of Qinzhou’s media had unanimously become: “Zhao Yingge’s debut single, surpassing two first-tier singers!”

Originally, it was a battle between first-tier singers.

Now Zheng Liang and Chen Zhiyu had become the supporting roles.

The joint efforts of Brilliant Silver Light and Sand Sea didn’t seem like they were targeting Starlight’s Zhao Yingge, but rather like they voluntarily provided two high-quality assists.

Zhao Jue couldn’t stop laughing.

When she first learned that Brilliant Silver Light and Sand Sea were teaming up to target Starlight, she almost thought Zhao Yingge had no hope.

Who knew “Flammable and Explosive” would forcibly overshadow the singer’s fame, directly allowing Zhao Yingge to reach the top smoothly.

Some industry evaluations were not wrong.

This was a textbook case of a Master Composer carrying the team.

Zhao Jue, being someone who always repays grudges, immediately called Xi Mei, a competitor of Brilliant Silver Light, as soon as the song topped the charts, and the first thing she said was: “I must thank Brilliant Silver Light for their attack.”

“Hehe.”

The three major companies have been old rivals for years, how could Xi Mei not hear Zhao Jue’s sarcastic undertones.

After all, it’s not the first time they’ve torn each other apart.

Xi Mei immediately retaliated with the same sarcastic undertones: “Xian Yu has elevated Zhao Yingge to a height that doesn’t belong to her.”

“No need for your concern.”

In this industry, eighty percent of successful singers rely on Master Composers to elevate them.

Zhao Jue cheerfully hung up.

Then she called an old rival of Sand Sea.

The chief of Sand Sea’s tone was even more sour, directly cursing: “The higher you stand, the harder you fall.”

“That also requires being able to reach high.”

Zhao Jue laughed heartily, this level of retaliation couldn’t disturb her mood, instead, it released all her previous frustration.

At this moment.

Seeing her song reach the top, Zhao Yingge’s mood was like a roller coaster.

Like Zhao Jue, she previously thought that with two first-tier singers in the fray this month, she had no hope of winning.

But when she was most desperate, Xian Yu performed a Master Composer-style miracle, and “Flammable and Explosive” became the champion track of January in just one week!

In a more dramatic sense:

In the face of an absolutely good song, all schemes and plots are futile, a good song can break all barriers!

Just like the song title.

It’s both fiery and… explosive!
