All-rounder Artist-Chapter 721 - 687 Actively Increasing Difficulty for Oneself_1

"What a show, Fish Papa!"

"Just love your collaboration!"

"Is this song a compensation for Chu Kuang?"

"Helping him write a song because Chu Kuang obediently changed the plot?"

"This fairy friendship, love it, love it!"

"Supporting the new song because Fish Papa saved Sherlock Holmes!"

"Admirable Fish writes original songs for novels, only Chu Kuang’s novel gets this treatment on Blue Star!"

"Shadow has drawn several comics, but Admirable Fish hasn’t written any related songs."

"..."

Sherlock Holmes is a popular topic recently.

Admirable Fish’s collaboration has completely rode on this popularity.

Netizens are having a lively discussion around this matter!

And just when everyone was in the middle of heated discussion.

A music industry professional called "Towards the North of the Sun" suddenly posted a status:

"Isn’t Teacher Admirable Fish aiming to win twelve consecutive championship this season? In this case, the song in June is crucial. Is a song composed for a novel really suitable for ranking?"

This person is quite active online, with a considerable number of followers.

His post quickly attracted the attention of netizens.

After some thought.

Many netizens responded immediately.

Of course there were some netizens expressing confusion, so "Towards the North of the Sun" patiently explained:

"I’m not belittling Sherlock Holmes, but we have to face the fact that not all music listeners have read Sherlock Holmes. Can listeners who haven’t read the novel really feel the charm of this song?"

Everyone got the point!

For a moment.

The comments section of this blogger heated up:

"Almost forgot about that!"

"Admirable Fish is indeed aiming to win twelve consecutive championships!"

"If it is the theme song for a novel, wouldn’t it be too niche?" Enjoy new adventures from novelbuddy

"To top in June, this song must satisfy both book fans and those who have not read the novel. Isn’t the difficulty too high?"

"Perhaps Admirable Fish is intending to ride on the popularity of Sherlock Holmes to rank?"

"The idea is certainly good, after all, the popularity of Sherlock Holmes is an intangible foundation, but it has also increased the difficulty of song creation. Trying to satisfy both sides often results in favouring one at the expense of the other."

"I’m reminded of ’Fairytale Town’, wasn’t that song written by Fish Papa for Chu Kuang’s novel?"

"That’s right, ’Fairytale Town’ is a case in point. Although the song is very nice, it’s a bit of a stretch for it to top the season list nowadays, especially when Fish Papa needs to secure himself the June champion song title!"

"..."

Normally, seeing Chu Kuang and Admirable Fish collaborate would be a delight to netizens, but with Admirable Fish evidently aiming to win twelve consecutive championships, this song seems a bit risky!

Because of this statement.

More and more people joined the discussion.

Seeing that his statement attracted the attention of netizens, "Towards the North of the Sun" became more active:

"Music themed on Sherlock Holmes, the core audience is obviously Sherlock Holmes fans. They can account for a significant download volume. With Teacher Admirable Fish’s contribution to Sherlock Holmes, this download number is bound to be even higher. But the downside is also clear, Teacher Admirable Fish has confined himself to a circle.

His goal is to top in June, which cannot be achieved only by the support of Sherlock Holmes fans. Unless countless people who have not read the novel also like this song, which means Teacher Admirable Fish’s song needs to break through the circle and go out. Isn’t this difficulty too high? That’s why I say Admirable Fish’s decision is a bit adventurous.

I hope Teacher Admirable Fish can consider carefully. After all, I’m also looking forward to Teacher Admirable Fish continuing to win the championship!"

This musician did not belittle Admirable Fish.

"He simply shared his viewpoint objectively.

This statement did not upset the fans of Xian Yu and Chu Kuang. On the contrary, it gained numerous approvals. Some people even commented on the announcement for Xian Yu’s June song release, expressing hope that Xian Yu could steady his hand...

After all, breaking out from the mainstream is so hard!

Meeting both the expectations of Holmes fanatics and ordinary music fans is not an easy task in and of itself!

Just think about "Fairytale Town".

The quality of that song isn’t one of the highest in Xian Yu’s discography.

Without the hype from the novel, that song, out of all Xian Yu’s works, could even be considered just average or below average!

It’s clear.

This is why Xian Yu was caught between attempting to satisfy both the reading fans and the listening fans, leading to some kind of restrictions in his song creation and hence, an average performance.

By comparison, "Sherlock Holmes" would be more challenging!

This novel isn’t a fairytale, its style is very distinctive!

Should anything go wrong here, Xian Yu might fail to meet the expectations of not only the general music fans but also the Holmes fanatics who may feel the vibe is off!

At this point.

Someone retorted: "Isn’t the piano piece "To Alice" that topped the charts this month, and that Xian Yu created based on Chu Kuang’s novel, really good?"

Xian Yu’s concert had recently ended.

The 𝘮ost uptodat𝑒 novels are pub𝙡ished on freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

The closing song of the concert, "To Alice," won the champion of this month’s seasonal chart.

Judging by the title.

Everyone believes this song is a tribute to Chu Kuang’s fairytale work "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland," even though Xian Yu himself has not provided an explanation.

But the name is too coincidental…

The vast majority of people are willing to believe that there’s a connection between the song and Chu Kuang’s "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland".

Almost immediately.

This musician, who goes by the username "Towards the North of the Sun," responded to the critique:

"Teacher Admirable Fish had mentioned that he will be releasing a song in June, songs and piano pieces have a significant difference; with songs, a wider array of instruments are utilized and lyrics are involved. The lyrics for a Sherlock Holmes song wouldn’t be easy to write. Even though ’To Alice’ is excellent, I personally believe that this music piece isn’t related to Chu Kuang’s novel."

True.

Even though everyone believes the song ’To Alice’ is associated with Chu Kuang’s "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland," many also feel that the artistic conception of the song doesn’t match the story.

Therefore.

Some insiders believe that it’s merely a coincidence of the names, and in fact, Xian Yu’s piano piece has no connection to Chu Kuang’s novel.

With the ongoing discussions and controversy, people gradually recognized the crux of the matter:

First, the audience’s reception is a concern as Xian Yu’s new song tries to accommodate both music fans and literature fanatics, which is tough.

Secondly, how would the narrative style of "Sherlock Holmes" translate into song lyrics?

Third, there’s the issue of style. The somewhat dark tone of Sherlock Holmes could easily lead to the song being niche.

Fourthly…

In brief, there are many problems and challenges.

A countless number of netizens believe that for Xian Yu to top next month’s seasonal chart with a Sherlock Holmes tribute song is incredibly challenging!

And during this collective brainwave among netizens.

This musician, "Towards the North of the Sun," chimed in again:

"Even though I have listed so many challenges, there’s a great chance for Teacher Admirable Fish to top the charts, given his popularity and talent. I believe many people want to help him achieve his twelfth win. If Sherlock Holmes fanatics are satisfied, they will definitely give huge support.

But, the real question is, do you think other Maestros would just sit by and watch if Teacher Admirable Fish aims for his twelfth continuous win? According to Blue Star platform convention, any composer who wants to achieve a twelfth win will face competition, this is an inevitable challenge for those who aim for the twelfth win.

In the following months, the competitors Teacher Admirable Fish faces will become increasingly competitive. This is the law of the musical world, and if Teacher Admirable Fish fails in June, all the effort put into the last five months will be in vain!"

Is it necessary for Xian Yu to make things even more challenging for himself when it is already so daunting?
