Chapter 1644: Chapter 1315: Another Platinum Album

In the days that followed, Lin Yuan would write tens of thousands of words of every night.

As for the daytime…

Lin Yuan needed to record an album with Zhao Ying Ge.

Because Lin Yuan had promised to produce an album for each member of the Yu Dynasty.

Last month, he made an album for Xia Fan, easily topping the season chart in January. This month it’s Zhao Ying Ge’s turn, and the goal is the season chart’s top spot as well.

Xia Fan’s album theme was [Youth].

While Zhao Ying Ge’s album theme is [If].

This theme was decided by Zhao Ying Ge herself.

Around this theme, Lin Yuan quickly came up with three songs.

The first one, “If at That Time.”

This is a song by Xu Song, which can be a male-female duet, and Lin Yuan agreed to sing the chorus part.

Zhao Ying Ge sings the main part, and Lin Yuan asked her to use the Huangmei Opera singing style, since Blue Star also has Huangmei Opera, which originally came from Qin Continent. Thus, this song not only fits the theme but also serves as a promotion of local culture.

The second song, “If You Also Heard.”

This is one of Zhang Huimei’s hit songs, though many people don’t know that the composer is Jay Chou.

In fact, many songs that Jay Chou composed for others became very popular.

Many people only realized years later that many of the songs they loved were actually written by Jay Chou.

The third song is the title track, called “If Only Nothing.”

The meaning is that there’s no cure for regret in this world.

Although the original singer JJ Lin is a male singer and the pitch is quite high, Lin Yuan believes that Zhao Ying Ge can handle it, as she always considers high notes to be her strongest weapon.

Indeed, that is true.

The recording of these three songs went very smoothly.

However, the recording of the fourth song was somewhat challenging.

Because the fourth song is called “Sigh,” a new song found by Lin Yuan in the System library, originally sung by Isabelle Huang.

This song, like “Itch,” has a bit of a borderline feel, Zhao Ying Ge had no issue singing it, but Lin Yuan found it a bit tricky.

Because the lyrics go like this:

A vague whisper, engulfing Wushan, dreamlike and illusory floating on the clouds, entangled in the clouds and rain seeking fleeting pleasure, falling into the mire on the shore of dreams…

Isn’t it too bold to openly mention things like “clouds and rain,” “Wushan” in the lyrics?

Who’s being underestimated here?

Alright.

This song was not what Lin Yuan wanted to bring out at all.

It was really because Zhao Ying Ge insisted on a song with this vibe, Lin Yuan couldn’t argue with her and had to include it. After all, this is a tailor-made personal album, and it should of course be based on the singer’s wishes and style.

Sure enough.

Zhao Ying Ge was thrilled to no end when she saw this song, especially every time she sang “Desire fills the flesh, escaping at the edge of dreams,” she was in a very high state.

She seems to love these less serious songs!

The most important thing is that this song requires Lin Yuan to duet with her!

In comparison, the rest of the songs are more normal in style.

Qi language.

Chu language.

English.

With three more left, mainly to showcase the singer’s comprehensive ability, Lin Yuan first pulled out a song “Little Little.”

One of Joey Yung’s signature songs.

Lyrics by Fang Wenshan, music by Jay Chou!

It’s worth mentioning that Jay Chou himself is actually very fond of “Little Little,” and has often expressed his regret for giving it to Joey Yung, really hoping to keep it for his own album.

Then Lin Yuan brought out “Girl Waving a Wing.”

After Xia Fan’s album was released, fans all said that there should be an inspirational song on the album.

Now Lin Yuan has added it, and this song is not only inspirational but should also have no problem in terms of popularity.

As for the last song.

After much thought, Lin Yuan finally chose a song that could highlight Zhao Ying Ge’s high note advantage, “Left Hand Pointing to the Moon.”

Because Zhao Ying Ge really likes to reach for those high notes.

In the past when participating in “The Masked Singer,” Lin Yuan once as Prince of Lanling, complained about this on the show.

The current Zhao Ying Ge has improved rapidly and is no longer the hotheaded girl who only knew to showcase her vocal range by belting out high notes. In this case, Lin Yuan could certainly indulge her interest in hitting high notes once.

Like the album of Xia Fan

This album was released on February 22nd, once again hastily launched without much promotion.

New albums not getting much promotion before release—there’s no second person in the whole Blue Star entertainment industry daring to play like this, but who made the producer of Zhao Ying Ge’s album Lin Yuan?

No way.

Lin Yuan is too popular!

Especially after Chu Kuang was exposed.

The explosive popularity of Lin Yuan is unimaginable!

Some even say that the future of Blue Star will never have a star reach Lin Yuan’s level, even though his main job is behind the scenes!

Therefore.

An album with Lin Yuan’s name doesn’t need any additional promotion at all.

Lin Yuan just used the accounts of Xian Yu and Chu Kuang to forward the announcement to the public, and the heat immediately exploded!

…

What Lin Yuan didn’t expect was:

The song that first blew up on the album was actually “Sigh.”

To be honest.

If the songs on this album were ranked by quality, “Sigh” is actually relatively average; if it weren’t for Zhao Ying Ge’s strong request, Lin Yuan wouldn’t even want to include it, always feeling that the strong musical nodes make it inexplicably cheesy and enthusiastic.

Yet this song was the first to blow up when the album was released!

“Forget forget all forget, sway with my rhythm, sway sway again sway, the faint glimmer just like others, all illusions all the same, all vanity kindred illusions, desire fills the flesh, escaping at the edge of dreams…”
