FWTS Chapter 119: The Mysterious New Song Chart

Although "My Sky," this single album, was only given away for free and many people couldn't buy it, there were still plenty of interested individuals who went to music platforms to listen to it. The play count and download count were both very high, not just for one version but for all ten versions!

At a certain university's guitar club, even the laziest members showed up early today. Everyone was practicing the guitar version of "My Sky," especially the guys, who were putting in a lot of effort. "My Sky" was just perfect for confession, and with Christmas approaching, they had to learn it before Christmas Eve, all for the sake of getting naked! Well, figuratively speaking, for the singles!

In a nearby university, a band was also practicing, playing a completely different version of the same melody. They were rehearsing the rock version, which was very passionate and uplifting, perfect for performances.

In a erhu learning class in a certain city, ever since Hou Muyun played the erhu on "The Singer" stage, the number of people signing up for erhu classes had increased significantly in recent times. There might not be an accurate count of how many erhu learning classes had sprung up across the country because of this, but at least the number of students signing up for existing erhu classes had increased significantly.

Today, this erhu learning class was teaching the erhu version of "My Sky." The teacher, looking at the students who were more focused and practiced harder than usual, couldn't help but feel happy and also couldn't help but sigh. This might be the power of celebrities and idols!

...

After dinner, the shut-in went live and quickly got into the groove. As he got more excited while playing, the background music in the shut-in's live stream changed, and his eyes seemed to shine brightly. "Kids, today I'll let you hear what a real war song sounds like!"

For a moment, the live stream was filled with stirring and majestic music, inspiring the soul and stirring the blood. Pentakill! Under the shut-in's crazy operation, he let out a rare roar, "In my BGM, no one can defeat me!"

"Holy crap!"

"Unstoppable from 6 to infinity!"

"Damn, did the shut-in take drugs today or get a dose of chicken blood?"

"What the hell is this BGM? I almost wet myself!"

"Please tell me the BGM!"

"Haha, isn't this the instrumental version of 'My Sky'? I got high just listening to it at noon!"

"My Sky? Monkey's new song? Damn, I've only heard three or four versions, didn't hear this one. I need to find it now!"

...

On this day, "My Sky" spread in ten different versions in various ways. When Hou Muyun and Pan Xiaotian agreed to go see cars tomorrow and return to the hotel, Xiao Pang sent a WeChat message with a picture, causing Hou Muyun to burst into laughter. At the same time, this picture began circulating on the internet.

"Oh my god, is QQ Music going crazy? Look at the new song chart, the top 10 are all the same song!"

"Hahaha, this is hilarious!"

"Surprised? Actually, when I found out that this song had ten versions, I foresaw this result!"

"Monkey's new song is going to explode!"

"Don't just focus on QQ Music, also check out the Weibo new song chart. It won't be long before this song takes over the top ten there too. There are already nine versions in the top ten!"

"Hahaha, let's go, let's push the other version up too! As someone with advanced OCD, I absolutely can't stand such an uneven chart!"

"Hahaha! Look at the only song that's not 'My Sky'! It's Kym's new song, isn't it? Lyrics and music by Shi Shiwu, arrangement by Hou Muyun! It's like a family feud, what a good show!"

"Making trouble! Occupying the entire top 10 with one song, this is too... uninspired. Someone needs to fill in the gap!"

"This is definitely the weirdest new song chart in history!"

...

Around 10 p.m. on the 21st, with various intentional and unintentional pushes, "My Sky" successfully occupied the Weibo new song chart. At the same time, three versions of "My Sky" - the original version, the rock version, and the instrumental version - all rushed into the QQ Music 24-hour play and download charts, topping the overall charts! Among them, the original version ranked first in the play chart, while the instrumental version took the top spot in the download chart!

With this, Hou Muyun's new song undoubtedly became a hit!

...

On the 22nd at noon, after finishing the live broadcast of Hou Muyun's writing, he went with Fei Ning to the 4S store where Pan Xiaotian was located.

Fei Ning looked strange, "Monkey, are you really going to buy that car?"

Hou Muyun nodded, "Didn't we check online? The performance in all aspects is indeed very good, comparable to Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 Series, and Audi A8 in the same class, and there are cars available. The key is to be low-key."

Fei Ning said, "But isn't this too damn low-key?"

Hou Muyun smiled, "That's the feeling I want. Let's go test drive first. If it's suitable, we'll take it. What's with that expression? You've been telling me all along that working hard to make money is to improve our quality of life and enjoy life. Now that I have money, can't I indulge a little?"

Fei Ning sighed, "You're not wrong... Okay, it seems like being rich makes you damn wilful!"

Before long, a taxi arrived at a Volkswagen 4S store in Shanghai.

About two hours later, Hou Muyun and Fei Ning left in a car that resembled a Passat, with two inconspicuous little logos on the rear, "W12" on the left and "6.0L" on the right.

"Monkey, let's take a spin and pick up some speed! The test drive just now wasn't satisfying at all! 6.0, W12 engine!"

...

At exactly 12:00 noon that day, in addition to uploading five main text updates, Hou Muyun also uploaded the sequel to "Sword Supreme," completing the serialization of "Sword Supreme" on Qiyue Chinese website, WeChat public account, and Weibo simultaneously.

Around 1:00 p.m., discussions about the conclusion of "Sword Supreme" began spreading online. Some were enthralled, some deeply impressed, some engaged in various plot analyses, character analyses, and discussions of fate, while others were furious and cursing.

"Mohan actually died like that! Author, are you crazy?"

"And you described it so tragically and in such detail. Do you know what it means to be heartbroken?"

"Zuyao just died, what was the meaning of his final words? Damn, is this your way of whitewashing him? Seven words, whitewashed so thoroughly! Do you know that I went back to read the first part and cried, do you deserve my month-long anger and hatred?"

"After finishing the ending, my worldview completely collapsed!"

"Obviously I like fantasy, why does it feel like watching a horror movie?"

"Author, come out, I promise not to kill you!"

...

No one expected that a spin-off novel would cause such a sensation. The key was that many people hadn't read "The Master of Xuanyuan Sword" and only found out about it through recommendations on Weibo or some forums. With just 300,000 words, countless people became fans of "Sword Supreme."

"Supreme" was a superior work in terms of both writing and plot development, with just 300,000 words telling a thrilling and fluctuating story. Such writing talent was rare among online writers and even rarer among traditional authors, making many people consider it a classic.

As a result, many people turned to read "The Master of Xuanyuan Sword," and many were equally attracted by the original work. Of course, there were also many who found it difficult to get into the rhythm and climax of online literature due to their lack of familiarity with it.

Furthermore, there were many calls online for Hou Muyun to quickly release a comic version of "Sword Supreme," and even more people were looking forward to the next spin-off!

After the completion, many individuals or teams who had already set their sights on this spin-off called Qiyue Chinese website, and some even went straight to Qiyue's headquarters.

In short, "Sword Supreme" was a huge hit.

In the afternoon, around 4:00 p.m., while speeding, Hou Muyun received a call from Qiyue Group.

"Someone wants to buy the film and television rights to 'The Master of Xuanyuan Sword'? Isn't this the responsibility of the Copyright Department?"

"They've offered a very good price."

Hou Muyun hesitated slightly, "I see..."

"Also, they're very interested in the rights to 'Sword Supreme,' and they specifically want to talk to you in person. If convenient, it's best for you to come to Shanghai."

"I happen to be in Shanghai. I'll come over right away. I can definitely get there within an hour."

Hou Muyun knew that the rights to "The Master of Xuanyuan Sword" would be sold sooner or later. He hoped for a good price but also worried that the entrusted party would produce something too...
