FWTS Chapter 107
With the dust settling on the Song King, online discussions naturally erupted.
It was normal, after all, everyone has their own preferences.
Some felt that "Dai Shu" winning the Song King was only natural.
"It's what everyone expected!"
"The name matches the talent!"
"Let's not forget, how many times did 'Dai Shu' win first place in a single episode this season? If the Song King doesn't go to her, who else deserves it?"
"A person who could have just played around, but took it seriously. Who else can argue with that?"
"Talented, hardworking, and dedicated. He even brought out his ace in the final stage. Who else deserves the Song King?"
"You should know, 'Singer' didn't make 'Dai Shu' famous. Without a fitting title, would it be fair?"
"From the first performance to the final, every performance brought us shock. Both songs in the final were extremely beautiful. Overall, the Song King definitely belongs to her!"
While some felt it was only natural, there were also dissenting opinions, and the name mentioned the most amidst the dissent was undoubtedly Shi Shiwu.
The reason Shi Shiwu was mentioned the most was twofold. First, because Shi Shiwu's second-place vote count was not far off. Second, because Shi Shiwu's two songs in the last two rounds were just too amazing.
And when mentioning Shi Shiwu, one could not avoid mentioning Hou Muyun.
"The collaboration between Shi Shiwu and Hou Muyun this time is definitely the most affectionate and perfect performance on the 'Singer' stage!"
"Both songs, each one can be put on repeat for a month!"
"By the way, where can we find these two songs?"
"Mango TV is super fast, the exclusive versions are already out!"
"It's such a pity that Shi Shiwu didn't get the Song King!"
"There's no way, with Shi Shiwu having the highest appearance fee among all the singers, Mango wouldn't let him have the Song King!"
"Singer owes Shi Shiwu a Song King!"
"Why do I feel like Singer owes the Monkey a crown? Hahaha!"
"Looking back at the entire season of 'Singer,' 'Dai Shu' got the greatest honor, Shi Shiwu got the greatest benefit, and the greatest fame was given to Hou Muyun! Although he only appeared twice, one of which was as an accompanist, he seems to be the one who really got popular in the entire season of 'Singer'!"
"To be honest, I really hope the Monkey can join the next season of 'Singer.' I've seen every one of his performances in 'The War of Music,' and each one of his songs shook me. If he joins 'Singer,' his performance and potential will definitely be even greater!"
"But unfortunately, he's not even a formal singer yet!"
...
There were many discussions about the Song King, but one thing was certain: this live broadcast brought Hou Muyun a lot of points!
Before the live broadcast, Hou Muyun had checked his points and already accumulated 58,000. And now, with just over an hour left until the end of the live broadcast, it had increased to over 140,000!
After the program recording was completed, a group of singers, guest performers, band members, and program team members were having a celebratory banquet at Changsha Huogongdian. Shi Shiwu, sitting next to Hou Muyun, noticed Hou Muyun grinning foolishly and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing, grinning like that?"
Hou Muyun shifted his attention from the interface and replied, "Do you think if I started a live stream on my phone right now and put everyone in the frame, people would hit me?"
Shi Shiwu, thankfully with nothing in his mouth, chuckled and goaded, "Of course, no one would hit you!"
Hou Muyun glanced around and said, "Forget it, several big brothers and sisters are already drunk. If I really put them in the frame, they might fight me!"
Shi Shiwu said earnestly, "What are you afraid of? After all, you're not involved in the entertainment industry!"
Hou Muyun rolled his eyes and pointed to the side, saying, "Someone over there is waving to you." When Shi Shiwu turned his head, Hou Muyun poured the spicy sauce into Shi Shiwu's bowl.
Shi Shiwu turned back and said, "No one's there!"
At this moment, Hong Dao and Wang Han from Mango TV arrived. They joined Shi Shiwu, Hou Muyun, and others at the table for a round of drinks. During the banquet, Hong Dao jokingly but somewhat seriously suggested that Shi Shiwu write songs for Hou Muyun and release an album, so he could secure a spot for the next season of 'Singer.'
After the crew left, Shi Shiwu said, "What Hong Dao said just now really struck a chord with me. I really want to write songs for you. With your wild arrangements, we can definitely create several hits."
Hou Muyun's eyes lit up. "Really? Um... would that be expensive?"
Shi Shiwu raised an eyebrow. "What do you think?"
"Let's forget it then. People from Lion City must be good at opening their mouths wide like lions," said Hou Muyun as he picked up a piece of yellow throat and handed it to Shi Shiwu. "This yellow throat tastes absolutely amazing. You should try it."
Shi Shiwu also scooped a piece of beef tripe into Hou Muyun's bowl and laughed, "The price is negotiable."
"We'll talk about it later," Hou Muyun replied.
Taking the beef tripe, Hou Muyun dipped it in the sauce he had prepared and sent it into his mouth. At the same time, he stifled a laugh and secretly watched Shi Shiwu, who was eating the yellow throat. He couldn't wait to see Shi Shiwu's expression after he tasted the spicy sauce. Suddenly, Hou Muyun's expression changed dramatically, as if he was on fire, and he began chugging water.
Shi Shiwu burst into laughter. "Kid, trying to ambush me? No way!"
Hou Muyun felt like crying. "When did you switch the sauce?"
"When Hong Dao and the others arrived."
"How did you find out?"
"I've been playing this trick since you were playing with mud!"
"You have to sell me songs at half price!"
"Dream on!"
The people nearby, who didn't understand what was going on, couldn't help but wonder as they watched these two "flirting" with each other, could they really be in a relationship?
The celebration banquet ended after 2 a.m. As a newcomer to the scene, Hou Muyun was approached by quite a few people to toast, and naturally, he couldn't refuse. He had to reciprocate every drink he received, so he definitely had a lot to drink. Fortunately, he had a good tolerance and physique, so he didn't end up leaning on the wall in the end, but Xiao Pang had to help him back to the hotel room. The funniest part was that Shi Shiwu, who didn't drink much but had an average tolerance, was drunk and kept clamoring to go to Dao 2. He scared Hou Muyun so much that he almost passed out from a single sword strike, and Pineapple had to carry him back.
Because of the amount of alcohol consumed and the conclusion of "Singer," Hou Muyun took a rare lazy nap. However, he still got up around 8 o'clock.
Stretching, the first thing he did was check the increase in points.
Originally over 140,000, now it was over 240,000!
In other words, in the eight hours or so from midnight to now, he had gained another 100,000 points!
The Song King finals had brought Hou Muyun over 180,000 points!
"Very good!"
Hou Muyun rubbed his hands together and then checked his package. There were a total of 12 items in the package now. During this time, Hou Muyun had spent a lot of time reading. He had already used up 3 "Insight Effect Cards," and the last "Piano Performance Skill Card" was also used up. As a result, two slots were now available.
"I'll draw from the card pack once! With two empty slots, and still having over 140,000 points, I should be able to unlock them!"
Hou Muyun made up his mind, got out of bed, took a shower, changed clothes, lit a cigarette, and then "pressed" the draw button on the compass of the card pack.
After deducting 100,000 points, the pointer landed in the orange zone, and a rare card pack popped up on the interface.
【Music Production Card Pack X1】
Hou Muyun's eyes lit up!
He had sung quite a few songs during this time, and because he had mastered instruments like the erhu, guitar, and piano, he had developed a certain musical literacy and had slowly been trying to learn and experiment with arranging. If anyone thought that Hou Muyun didn't want to have his own song even a little bit, that would be impossible!
Especially yesterday, during the celebration banquet, Hong Dao and Shi Shiwu both mentioned this matter, and his desire became stronger. He even joked and bargained with Shi Shiwu, and he was determined to invite Shi Shiwu to collaborate. He also wanted to read more books on music production, and learn from Shi Shiwu, a singer-songwriter, to gain more experience, and maybe write a song of his own someday.
Now, he had finally come to it. Whenever he felt drowsy, he pulled out the music production card pack!
Following the prompt, he opened the package and six types of cards popped out.
【Composition Attribute Card X3】
【Lyric Attribute Card X3】
【Arrangement Attribute Card X3】
【Recording Production Skill Card X2】
【Mixing Skill Card X2】
【Mastering Skill Card X2】
