"Why do I feel like every song on Xu Qingqiu's album is great?"

"You don't need to feel it; they are all great!"

"Exactly, exactly, each one sings right into my heart!"

"Come on! My journey studying for the postgraduate exam will definitely be successful; this album is my lucky charm!"

"President Xu has really surprised me! Releasing such an album at the most difficult time is like telling everyone she's okay, she's still chasing her dreams!"

"True to my idol! So what if there are difficulties? As long as there are dreams, no amount of difficulty is too great! Xu Qingqiu, I'll be your fan for life!!"

Apart from the heated discussions among fans and passersby, various marketing accounts also swarmed in as if it were a carnival.

One after another, articles were freshly published, going all out, scrambling to catch this wave of traffic.

Since the release of the new songs at eight o'clock, the previously quiet internet instantly boiled like oil over a roaring fire, with countless messages racing back and forth in the data stream along the internet cables.

In just a few days, the Weibo hot search list was reshuffled, with new entries appearing to air-drop into the top ranks instantly.

#HowImpressiveAreTheThreeMainSongs

Watching the rapid changes online, the entertainment industry felt like it had been hit by an earthquake; everyone gaped in amazement.

In just three or four days, they had only been busy for a short period, but it was as if the world had changed, no longer the familiar one they knew.

Many people who hadn't been paying attention or had been busy stared in disbelief, their minds filled with questions.

What's going on? What happened?

What's with Xu Qingqiu? Isn't it just an album? When did she become so popular?

How many sponsored articles did they buy to get this much hype?

Are they made of money, buying so many hot searches?

Countless people were full of questions, even speculating if some major financial backer had stepped in to promote Xu Qingqiu's album.

But after closer investigation, they realized it wasn't what they thought—not until they listened to the new songs from Xu Qingqiu's newly released album themselves.

All the singers instantly felt a chill down their spines, exclaiming, "The wolf is coming!"

"Holy shit! Is this Xu Qingqiu? Are you sure it's not someone else?"

"Fake, right? These singing skills—which audio tuning master lent a hand?"

Before these people had time to react, at nine in the morning, just when everyone thought that was all for the day, music platforms released another new song.

"Teenager"!!

After the new song was released, it didn't cause a sensation right away.

Until one person's Weibo post...

Zheng Qiuming, a veteran King from Hong Kong Island, had been a sensation across Southeast Asia thirty years ago. There was hardly anyone in the Chinese-speaking community who hadn't heard his songs.

Even now, in his sixties, he remained an idol in the hearts of countless people.

Zheng Qiuming had been busy with work recently and hadn't noticed the rapidly changing landscape of the internet.

Yesterday, an old friend from the industry recommended a new singer's album to him. Curious, he took a listen and was immediately intrigued. For the first time in a long while, he posted an update on his Weibo.

After all, he didn't have a company and was basically retired, so there were no restrictions, and he certainly didn't care about any industry blacklisting.

"It's been a long time since I paid attention to industry news. I accidentally heard a singer released an album, so I listened to it today. It's genuinely good—a truly excellent album. Both the singing skills and quality are impressive. I especially love the song 'Teenager' from it; the arrangement is very novel and full of vitality. This is the attitude young people should have."

Looking at the first half of the statement alone wasn't much; at most, it was a senior praising a junior. But many people were stunned when they saw the latter part.

Wait a minute! "Teenager"? What was going on? Whose song was this? Weren't they talking about Xu Qingqiu?

Many netizens who hadn't yet realized that a new song had been released didn't immediately catch on, but then they quickly swarmed to the music platform.

By this time, the newly released song had already racked up thousands of comments, showing that quite a number of people were paying attention.

But most hadn't seen it yet. If not for Zheng Qiuming's Weibo post stirring up a heated debate, many probably wouldn't have seen the new song until the next day, right?

"Holy shit! When did another song pop up?"

"That's so sneaky! Who releases an album so quietly? Are they out of their minds?"

"I thought we had to wait until tomorrow for the rest. How come another one just appeared after only an hour?"

"Who knows? The marketing team for this album must have a bizarre way of thinking, right?"

Countless people grumbled about the album's marketing team while quietly hitting the play button.

"Change your life, let yourself be happy,"

"Let go of attachments, and the weather will clear up,"

"..."

"I'm still that teenager from before, not a single bit changed,"

"Time is just a test; the faith planted in my heart hasn't diminished in the slightest,"

"This teenager before me still has that original face,"

"No matter how many dangers lie ahead, I will not retreat,"

"Say never, never give up, like a fire."

Many who finished listening to the song immediately felt that something wasn't quite right.

"This rhythm is so strong! It's such a big departure from Xu Qingqiu's usual style."

"Not that big, I feel. This song is more like a catchy pop hit with a strong rhythm."

"Pop hit? What defines a pop hit? Isn't whether it sounds good or not the key?"

"That's true. It is indeed good, and the quality is clearly high."

The number of comments in the song's comment section rapidly increased, with many looping the single while discussing it there.

Meanwhile, in many industry insider group chats, discussions were also fervent.

"Hold on! How many songs is this now? How is the quality still so high?"

"Exactly! Has anyone heard any song getting bad reviews?"

"Holy fuck, even the song with the fewest comments has over ten thousand now! This is..."

"Even gods would weep at this! What kind of album is this?"

"Stop chattering! They released another new song!"

"What the hell? Another new song?"

"Yes! Ten o'clock, another one!"

"Are they insane? Who does things this way? They aren't planning to release all the songs today, are they?"

Someone's casual remark unexpectedly hit the nail on the head.

Li Chunhua was indeed planning on releasing all the songs today.

Moreover, she was doing it one by one, allowing the hype to build layer by layer, until the very last song ignited everything at once!

Next up: "Direction of Light"! The penultimate song!

"If the quality of these last two songs is on point, this album is going to be legendary."

"Legendary? It's too early to say. That depends on sales and reputation."

"Reputation? Can't you judge for yourself? Sales? Have you seen how much it's sold already?"
