FWTS Chapter 148: The Hot Property

On the afternoon of January 19th, a Weibo account named "Music Monkey Studio," which had a blue V verification, posted two consecutive Weibo posts. The first one announced the establishment of the studio, and the second one introduced four new songs.

Subsequently, Hou Muyun, Shi Shiwushi, Ami, and Xianxian all shared the second post.

Yunhou1225: "Music Monkey Studio is officially established, and four new songs are out. Please support us!"

Shi Shiwushi: "Congratulations @Yunhou1225 on the establishment of Monkey's Music Studio! Monkey created a tailor-made song for me!"

Ami: "I finally snagged the song 'Flowers Bloom Slowly'! The recording is complete. Tell me, do I sing it better than Monkey @Yunhou1225? (Laughing emoji)"

Xianxian: "Ami grabbed 'Flowers Bloom Slowly' first, and I cried for three days and nights. Finally, I cried out a song 'Forgot, Forgot.' I really love this love song written by Monkey King @Yunhou1225, and I hope you all like my rendition!"

These four individuals have a combined fan base of over 60 million. Given that this was essentially a major event, releasing new songs, the repost count was naturally enormous, even terrifying, because the songs were genuinely good—truly excellent!

To start with, the song "Flowers Bloom Slowly" had already become a hit when Hou Muyun sang it during a live stream. Now, a female version performed by Ami, whose singing was at its peak, had been released. It wasn't just good; it was incredibly good!

Of course, while the songs were excellent, for the fans of "Legend of the Sword Master," it was an emotional disaster—a flood of tears!

Hou Muyun had also performed "Sword Heart" during a live stream. Naturally, it was an excellent song, but it was somewhat overshadowed by the simultaneous release of "Flowers Bloom Slowly." Both songs were on par in terms of lyrics, composition, and arrangement. The key difference was that the emotional weight of "Momo's death" gave "Flowers Bloom Slowly" tremendous power, making it deeply moving both to listen to and to sing.

"There's a Fish in the North Sea" and "Forgot, Forgot" both had superb melodies, with particularly outstanding lyrics. The former was written as a story, creating a vivid imagery that could stand alone as a beautiful poem. The latter delved into profound insights about love, blending philosophical and emotional reflections, making it a healing love song with a MAX level of therapeutic power!

Releasing four top-quality songs, all excellently produced, and leveraging the fame of three well-known singers, all written by the same person, was bound to create a stir!

"This song 'Flowers Bloom Slowly' made me cry multiple times when Monkey sang it. I recently got used to it on single loop, but Ami's version made me break down again! I love and hate you guys, what should I do?"

"'Sword Heart' has undoubtedly become my new battle anthem!"

"Shi Shiwushi's new song lyrics are so innocent and beautiful, it feels like a confession, but why do I feel a bit heartbroken? It's both beautiful and painful!"

"Thank you @Yunhou1225 for creating such a wonderful song for our Xianxian! Xianxian sang it so well!"

"..."

"Monkey is stirring things up again! Dropping so many bombshells at once!"

"All lyrics, composition, and production by Monkey! This is insane!"

"I'm not surprised Monkey writes such good lyrics, but the melodies are also so amazing. It's freakish!"

"This is what real talent looks like!"

"A true talent, who could rely on looks but chooses to rely on talent instead!"

...

Xiao Yu reposted: "Monkey King, you handle my new album as you see fit!"

Zhang Fan: "Congratulations on the studio opening! Remember, you still owe us a song!"

Zhang Quan reposted: "You owe him one song, and me one song too, that's two songs in total!"

Hua Shao: "You owe me one too!"

Zhang Jian reposted: "Hua Shao, why are you jumping in (laughing emoji)! Are you planning to invite him to send a song to me?"

Tang Weiwei: "Getting ready to hunt him down!"

Zhang Nana reposted: "Already staking out Music Monkey's hangout spot! About to capture him, bring money if you want a song!"

An hour later, Zhang Nana posted a picture: "Captured successfully!"

...

Zhang Nana is the leading female host of Mango TV. This time, she was one of the hosts for the Little New Year's Eve Gala. Additionally, she partnered with three female stars from a lifestyle experience show for celebrities on Mango TV to perform a program. As a host, her rehearsal time was naturally longer. While waiting, being the queen of Weibo, she naturally browsed Weibo and came across the four new songs, saw many people inviting songs, and knew Hou Muyun would be attending the rehearsal, so she joined in on the fun.

After reposting, during the wait, the other three female stars arrived, and they started chatting while waiting. Because Zhang Nana had just reposted on Weibo, and one of the actresses named Dongfang was in contact with the crew of "Master of Xuan Yuan Sword," and Xi Yao liked Hou Muyun very much, they naturally talked about him.

When Hou Muyun and Shi Shiwushi arrived, they happened to still be there, so they went over to greet them. Zhang Nana then took a photo with Hou Muyun and posted it on Weibo to continue the fun.

Zhang Nana had a good relationship with Shi Shiwushi, and since it wasn’t their turn for rehearsal yet, the six of them started chatting.

Hou Muyun hadn't really entered the entertainment circle yet and didn't interact much with people in the industry. It was his first time meeting Zhang Nana and another actress. He had met Dongfang and the top model Xi Yao during the food show on "Everyday Up."

Soon, another host of the gala, Wang Han, arrived.

"Wow, you guys are having a mini gala here!"

Wang Han greeted everyone and specifically smiled at Hou Muyun, saying, "It's great that you're here! Do you know who missed you the most after you recorded that food show episode?" He pointed to Dongfang and Xi Yao, laughing, "These two foodies! I've been recording 'Idol' with them recently, and every time we eat, they always mention you, especially when I cook for them. I'm a decent chef, but their disdain is infuriating!"

Dongfang and Xi Yao covered their mouths and laughed.

Zhang Nana nodded repeatedly: "I heard that too. They even found some of your cooking videos for me to watch! Honestly, it made me hungry too! How about, after rehearsal, if you have time, come to my house and show us your cooking skills? I'll learn too!"

Hou Muyun wanted to cry: "I'm here to record a show, how did I become a chef!"

After the rehearsal, Hou Muyun found that Zhang Nana, Wang Han, and his wife were indeed waiting, but they didn't really want him to cook. Instead, they went to a restaurant to have a meal together.

Wang Han and Zhang Nana represented the program team as hosts, wanting to get to know Hou Muyun better. Wang Han had the idea of having Hou Muyun regularly appear on "Everyday Up," while Zhang Nana hoped to invite songs for Tang Weiwei and her husband, Xie Jie. Even the other companions had their own intentions.

Hou Muyun, who hadn't officially entered this circle yet, didn't realize that he had already become a hot property.
