Chapter 725: Chapter 691: The Full Army Strikes_1 Chapter 725: Chapter 691: The Full Army Strikes_1 This night!

In countless people’s headphones or speakers, a song called “The Seventh Chapter of Night” was all playing simultaneously.

Click, click, click, click, click, click!

Behind the sound of the typewriter, the dark luxurious melody was mysterious and clear, with great impact.

It was as shattering as a soul crying out!

As the song ended.

The huge fan groups of Sherlock Holmes blew up in silence!

Just as Xu Tao had predicted:
No Sherlock Holmes fan could possibly remain unmoved after hearing this songaEUR”aEUR”
The shattered knees were destined!

“My god!”
“Fell straight to my knees!”
“So this is the theme music Fish Papa created for Sherlock Holmes?

I got goosebumps all over my body, almost every lyric symbolises a story in Sherlock Holmes, I had worried about whether Xian Yu could manifest the essence of Sherlock Holmes through the song…”

This song is an absolute perfect depiction of the novel world!”
“The atmosphere of mystery in the song is superb!”
“Listening to the song, I feel like I could become Sherlock Holmes and solve cases!”
“The eerie and sinister feel under the mysterious atmosphere, I’ve heard songs from Xian Yu before, but none of them had this sense of darkness.

Definitely the best theme song for a novel, it’s like goddamn movie soundtrack!”
“Listen to this and I want to replay ‘Sherlock Holmes’!”
“Even though I graduated from Yan Continent Music Academy, I feel empty after listening to this song, those five years of my university life…

this song will undoubtedly become a masterpiece in the heart of all Sherlock Holmes fans!”
“Why the hell aren’t we rushing for it yet?”
“Even if it’s not for the friendship between Fish Papa and the old rascal, or the fact that Xian Yu saved Sherlock Holmes, the quality of this song alone is worth all the Sherlock Holmes fans to go all out!”
“…”
Sherlock Holmes fans are shocked!

This is a moment of celebration for Sherlock Holmes fans!

Yet, at this moment, who else but Sherlock Holmes fans love this song?

Even those who hadn’t watched “Sherlock Holmes”, became captives of this song!

“This song is super incredible!”
“No wonder Fish Papa is not changing the songs, with this quality, why on earth would Fish Papa change songs for the ranking?”
“Was directly blown away by Xian Yu!”
“Love Fish Papa’s rap, love it!”
“When the main song started, I knew that I had my loop for the next few days.

It’s an unprecedented music style, I can hardly believe that this is the same Xian Yu that wrote ‘Red Roses’!”
“Jiang Kui’s chorus is astonishing, perfectly complementing Fish Papa’s finale like a god descended!”
“Those who were worried that they might not get this song because they haven’t watched Sherlock Holmes can rest assured now.”
“Even though your critiques are high, I think it’s just ok.”
“+1 upstairs, I feel like the song is a bit complex?”
“Fish Papa is really something, following ‘Wukong’ led me to watch Journey to the West, and this song directly prompted me to order a collection of Sherlock Holmes novels in the middle of the night.”
“…”
Ordinary music fans are also shocked!

However, unlike Sherlock Holmes fans, some of the ordinary fans had doubts about this song.

In fact.

At this juncture, it’s not Sherlock Holmes fans, but music professionals who can truly appreciate the awe of this song!

Xian Yu wants to clear the 12 seasons.

The Four Maestros gang up on Xian Yu for revenge.

How could music professionals not pay attention to such a grand event?

After listening to this song, the knees of the music world are truly the most heavily burdened!

“Is this his answer for June?”
“It’s near perfect!”
“The execution of grace notes is superb!”
“The design of the counterpoint is unbeatable!”
“You’re all correct, but the most kickass part of this song is inevitably the arrangement, particularly the chords after two minutes and fifty-two seconds – they’re simply explosive.

This is the first time I’ve felt that Xian Yu’s arrangement skills match his compositional abilities!”
“The key is in the chords!”
“You haven’t seen Sherlock Holmes.

If you’d read the novel, you’d have a higher opinion of the lyrics.

Some of the lyrics in this song use filmic contrast, I can’t think of anyone else who could write lyrics like this.

After all, not everyone is as well-versed in both music and film as he is.”
“The way he sings is also crucial!”
“That’s what I wanted to mention too, the way he sings this time is quite unique.

I’ve never before heard him personally, or any other Blue Star artists sing this way.

Perhaps only this kind of singing can bring out the special flavor of this song.”
“But this song has a big problem.”
“Yes, this problem is a regret that all singers can’t avoid.”
“The appreciation threshold has increased.”
“An increased difficulty in song creation could very likely cause the song’s popularity to increase inversely.

Xian Yu’s previous pop songs focused a lot on being catchy, but he chose a dark and mysterious style for this song.

Under such circumstances, it’s easy for non-fans to be disinterested in this song.”
“…”
People in the music industry also identified the problem.

At the root of it all, is anxiety over a previously worried problem:
If you make a song themed on Sherlock Holmes, the main audience will be enthusiasts of Sherlock Holmes, and those who haven’t read the novel will inevitably have some limitations listening to this song.

Even though Xian Yu has done such a great job!

Even though Xian Yu has taken into account varying tastes on a broad scale!

But, there are some fundamental problems that are definitely difficult to avoid.

You can see a glimmer of this from the comments sprinkled with a few unanswered voices.

In the end, you can’t satisfy everyone perfectly.

This isn’t Xian Yu’s problem; no composer could achieve the perfect blend for both these audiences, after all, Sherlock Holmes narrative is inherently mysterious with a hint of darkness…

In fact.

Lin Yuan also knew about this problem.

In the bunch of songs most highly acclaimed by Director Zhou, among Earth’s elite, someone would mention “The Seventh Chapter of Night”, but when it comes to catchiness…

This song still falls short of “Balloon of Confessions”.

But, Lin Yuan still has confidence in this song!

Because there are always some songs that can change the music industry’s value of based primarily on catchiness.

There are always some songs that don’t need anyone to sing along to.

If it just lies quietly in a playlist, you can still experience its abyss-like stare.

The most crucial point is:
Blue Star’s situation is different from Earth’s!

What are the differences exactly?

Let’s start explaining with some simple data.

At this time, it was one a.m.

The June season chart finally updated.

When countless people opened the season’s rankings, the first thing that caught their eye was undoubtedly Xian Yu’s new song, “The Seventh Chapter of Night”!

First place!

The data for this song left the second, third, fourth, and fifth places far behind!

And in those second, third, fourth, and fifth places were the tracks of the four other Maestros who released new music around the same time!

They were all stunned!

Everyone was stunned!

This had left everyone in the music industry in complete shock!

Could a song that’s fated to lack popularity top the charts?

They searched through the comments and all kinds of responses on the internet about “The Seventh Chapter of Night”, until they finally found the essential truth in a series of slightly crazy comments…

A clue can be found in Chu Kuang’s comment section.

The top comment, with the highest likes is:
[Guys, for “The Seventh Chapter of Night”, let the world see the allure of Sherlock Holmes!]
