Chapter 559: Life Like Summer Flowers
Inside the room, Tong Su Su picked up the Bluetooth earphones from the table.
She lay down on her large bed, preparing to listen to this song while lying down.
After lying down, her "hairstyle" immediately underwent a noticeable change, because what was on her head was a wig.
In "A Little Red Flower", Wei Yihang has a tumor in his brain.
Tong Su Su is the same.
It is just that Wei Yihang is a relatively depressed person, while Tong Su Su is more optimistic than him.
She was originally a cheerful and lively girl.
After realizing that her wig had shifted, Tong Su Su simply took it off.
Admittedly, in her own bedroom, no one else would see what she looked like after taking off the wig.
However, due to some psychological factors, she would think about wearing it at all times.
Even if... it was when she was all alone.
This could make her look better, and also look... more like a normal person.
As a member of the "Mo Sheng Ren" army, she had joined several fan groups.
In the groups, she received a lot of encouragement from fellow group members; the way the girls helped each other was truly especially cute.
Tong Su Su still remembered one time when she said: "My complexion isn't very good right now, even selfies have become ugly."
Immediately, a girl stood out: "I'm a pro at photo editing, at a level where I could open a shop and charge for it. If you don't mind, sister, send it to me, I'll edit it and show off my skills for you!"
After putting on the earphones, Tong Su Su first opened the group chat to see if the silly sisters were talking about "Life Like Summer Flowers".
As soon as she opened it, the messages were already endless, definitely 99+!
"Everyone go listen to 'Life Like Summer Flowers', such a good song, I'll be sad if anyone doesn't listen to it!"
"Another day of loving Luo Mo!"
"I can't compete with Jing, I've decided to give up on Luo Mo, how about I go marry Li Junyi instead."
"This song is really good! It feels quite different from many of the pop songs out now!"
"The lyrics are so good, my artistic heart has been poked to the core by him!"
"Personal signature has been changed!"
After reading for a few moments, Tong Su Su smiled and muttered: "Since you've all tasted it, I'll save the preview fee and just download it directly!"
She paid to download "Life Like Summer Flowers" and then clicked play.
At the very beginning, she heard Li Junyi's humming, and then she instantly understood why Li Junyi said on Weibo:
"There is a lot of humming in this song. I learned it by humming along to the Demo that Brother Mo sent me. I don't know what it means, it's not a foreign language or a dialect, and I highly suspect that Brother Mo doesn't know what it means either, he's just humming nonsense!"
At the beginning of the song, accompanied by the prelude, there were sounds of: "Xi wa la qiu mu, xi wa la qiu mu, ou wa la yi ye, ei wa la yi ya... o si ba lou ma ji ya!"
Although she couldn't understand it, Tong Su Su just felt it was very good, very good indeed!
She felt that this segment of humming, processed with harmony and paired with the song's melody, possessed an inexplicable power!
She felt as if she were in a very wide, very vast place, with sunlight spilling over the earth, a scene full of vitality.
Tong Su Su didn't even feel like she was lying on a bed, but rather more like she was lying in a meadow.
Luo Mo is just Luo Mo, even his nonsense humming is so good!
But Li Junyi must have had a hard time learning it, haha!
Soon, the formal singing began to come through.
"I don't know how long I've been sleeping in the darkness,
I don't know how hard it is to open my eyes,
I came from the Distance, and it just so happens you are here too,
Obsessed with lingering in the human world, I am wild for her."
The style of the whole song was different from most of Li Junyi's previous songs.
This song felt very individualistic.
But this kind of individuality was even better at interpreting that vitality!
Tong Su Su personally liked the following lyrics:
"I am this dazzling moment,
A flame flashing across the sky,
I came to see you regardless of everything,
I will be extinguished and can never return."
She could tell that this was about flowers blooming in the summer.
Flowers all have a blooming period, and the time of full bloom is always short.
But the feeling this song gave people was just to bloom fervently!
After Tong Su Su got sick, people often came to care for her and visit her.
This optimistic girl would always say: "Living a day unhappily is a day, and living a day happily is also a day, so I will definitely choose to be happy!"
But there is no one in this world who is always optimistic and always happy.
Her emotions would also have ups and downs, and she would also have worries.
But for some reason, she felt her heartbeat accelerating now!
Tong Su Su couldn't help but put her hand on the volume button, turning the phone's volume up continuously, until it was at the maximum!
The singing rang out loudly in her ears:
"I am here, right here,
As brief as a startled swan, as brilliant as summer flowers!"
The song's interlude rang out at this moment, accompanied by that humming of "I don't understand but I am greatly shocked."
Compared to the A-section lyrics, the B-section lyrics actually possess a more surging power, having been sublimated in many aspects.
Tong Su Su could not help but pick up her phone, her eyes fixed on the lyrics.
"【This is such a beautiful yet regretful world,
We just hold each other, laugh, and shed tears like this.】"
The singing style here seemed to be telling a story, stating the current state of the world.
This made her feel as if something in her heart had been touched.
She was not the type of person who was very depressed, as if because she was sick, she could no longer see all the beauty in the world.
But to say she wasn't sad would be a lie.
However, the song became increasingly impassioned.
The lyrics also underwent new changes once again.
From the earlier "【I am here, just right here】," it changed to "【It was worth this trip, it was worth this trip!】"
The four words "worth this trip" moved Tong Su Su to the core.
She recited the lyrics: "It was worth this trip, it was worth this trip, as fleeting as a sudden glimpse, blooming before your eyes!"
And later on, these few words actually changed again.
From 【It was worth this trip】, it changed to "【Spring light all the way, thorns all the way】."
Tong Su Su did not know why, but she suddenly felt like crying.
At the very end of the song, Li Junyi's singing voice was like a whisper.
"【This is a world where one cannot stay for too long.】"
As this line of lyrics ended, tears streamed down Tong Su Su's face instantly.
Although she was very unwilling to admit it, as it would make her seem very cowardly.
But since falling ill, what Tong Su Su feared most was naturally facing death head-on!
During this time, the song she listened to most often was "Deep Sea," which Luo Mo wrote for Fengge Group.
Listening to the Rap that was like 【Sanskrit Sound】 within it, and listening to that high-pitched singing, she could feel redemption.
Now, she felt that "Deep Sea" paired with "Life Like Summer Flowers" was the best!
The former pulls you up when you fall into the abyss, bringing you to the shore.
The latter is to take you to see the sun after you have reached the shore.
Tong Su Su sat up from the bed and looked around her small bedroom.
"There is still half a bag of potato chips left uneaten." She looked at the tabletop.
"I haven't caught up to the finale of 'Forensic Qin Ming' yet either." She looked at the computer.
"The little dress I bought last year has only been worn a few times." She looked at the wardrobe.
——Must live on well!

………
"Life Like Summer Flowers" became popular across the entire internet on the First Day it was uploaded.
For certain specific groups, they simply couldn't love this uniquely styled song enough!
After many people had put the single on Loop for several times, their focus began to linger elsewhere.
"'I Am Not a Medicine God' movie promotional song?"
Because many people liked this song so much, they immediately developed a strong interest in this movie that had just been scheduled and had not yet undergone much promotion.
Many netizens directly opened the ticketing APP they usually use, then found "I Am Not a Medicine God" for August 2nd in 【Coming Soon】, and clicked 【Want to Watch】!
This caused the 【Want to Watch count】 of this film to soar crazily!
Clearly, just a few days ago, this movie was not even displayed on the ticketing APP because it had not been officially scheduled yet.
But in just these few days, its 【Want to Watch count】 had already soared to fourth place in the Shuji Dang! And it was still rising continuously!
The official trailer for the movie had not yet been released, so many people began to speculate on the content and direction of this movie based on this promotional song.
"I feel like it should be a very sunny, full of vitality, and enterprising movie!"
"Although it's called 'I Am Not a Medicine God,' I estimate the content is the kind that treats illnesses and saves people, rescues lives, and gives people redemption!"
"The core idea is probably the beauty and splendor of life!"
Luo Mo looked at the guesses of many "prophet" netizens on the internet and didn't know what to say for a moment.
On one side, the early popularity of "I Am Not a Medicine God" was rising sharply, while on the other side, several movies that had been released for some time could already roughly estimate their final box office results.
Feng Ji's new film's box office would not be very high; this was within everyone's expectations, and Feng Ji had not thought about aiming for a very high box office either.
He had said before that the box office expectation was 500 million, and currently, it seemed that breaking 500 million was still achievable, with the final tally estimated to be around 600 million.
As for Wang Rong's new film, its strength lay in the word "steady."
Because the word-of-mouth was neither good nor bad, the box office was also just okay.
It was estimated to finish at 800 or 900 million; breaking 1 billion was definitely not even worth thinking about.
On the contrary, Tian Ou's new film, although its rating was lower than both of theirs, was a purely commercial film in the truest sense, and it was indeed much more enjoyable to watch in a theater than on a computer, so the box office was actually quite good.
Now, experts on major ticketing APPs predicted that the final box office for "Car King 2" would be around 1.3 billion.
This made Tian Ou feel triumphant these past few days.
In the 11-person group chat for the 【Hundred Billion Box Office Plan】, he would pop up from time to time and chat a few sentences in the group.
To him, this movie gave him a sense of accomplishment that was bursting, far more than when he became the highest-grossing Newcomer director during the "Car King 1" period!
The reason was simple: he felt that he had led everyone to fly!
"11 directors, a target of 10 billion."
"If I alone take down over a billion, wouldn't that be carrying them to success?"
"I've essentially completed a 1.5 share as a single unit!"
"If every director had box office numbers as solid as mine, seven or eight people would be enough for 10 billion; there would be no need for 11 people at all."
"Some people, they'll just seem completely redundant," Tian Ou thought to himself.
The most important thing is that since Car King 2 is selling so well, it means this series has completely stabilized.
Then, future installments like Car King 3, or even Car King 4, can all be launched!
Tian Ou's vision has become exceptionally long-term now; his next goal is to become the director with the highest total box office for a 【film series】 in the country!
He feels as if his health has improved, his speech is more assertive than before, his status in the industry has certainly risen, and he will have more say in front of the big-shot investors.
The explosive popularity of "Life Like Summer Flowers" has driven the buzz for "I Am Not a Medicine God," and Tian Ou has seen all of this.
Hmm, that really is a flashy move; being able to write songs is amazing, right!?
"Before it's officially released, everything is just empty," Tian Ou thought to himself.
The saying "Great songs often come from terrible films" has a similar version on Blue Star, so Tian Ou doesn't think much of it.
"A song is a song, a film is a film."
"They can indeed complement each other, but I've never heard of a few songs carrying a film to success," Tian Ou said in his heart.
In Director Show, he lost to Luo Mo in the short film category from afar, which has always made him feel like he lost a lot of Face.
Now, he feels that he will be able to get his Face back very soon!
A real man, why compare himself in the field of short works?
Feature-length is the true path!
At the poker table, it is always this thrilling. Director Tian Ou is clearly unaware of exactly how big the hand his opponent is holding!
The next day, at exactly two o'clock in the afternoon.
Luo Mo Studio released the trailer (smokescreen) for "I Am Not a Medicine God."
(PS: Second update, striving to make it a little longer tomorrow.)
