Chapter 258
Truly shocking!
And.
Currently, the ranking of "Blue and White Porcelain" in the top ten was no longer just a gatekeeper; it had already surged to eighth place!
Not only that, its momentum was extremely fierce, and the download volume was soaring rapidly every single moment.
Many netizens jokingly referred to this scene as: "Slaying the Gods in Progress."
To be precise, it had already successfully slain the gods; the original ninth-place song was sung by a Heavenly King, and the tenth-place song was a work by a Master Composer.
"Blue and White Porcelain" had already slain them both; now it was just a matter of whether it could slay even more... gods!
At the same time.
There were countless comments about this song on the internet.
The most attention-grabbing and popular one was the long review written on Weibo by Wang Bancheng of Rolling Stone Entertainment for the song "Blue and White Porcelain":
"A peerless melody, a masterpiece of the century: 'Blue and White Porcelain'!"
This was Wang Bancheng's overall evaluation of the song; this evaluation was not lacking in weight, and just seeing the first sentence shocked many netizens.
No other reason.
This evaluation was simply too high, even more exaggerated than being the number one in national style.
You bespectacled guy, you're quite wicked; is it because you were bullied by You Mingyue before that you're deliberately elevating them?
But after reading the full text, they felt that "Blue and White Porcelain" was worthy of such an evaluation:
"You Mingyue's 'Blue and White Porcelain' mainly showcases the charm of the Chinese style. This oriental beauty is subtle and introverted, yet does not lack gentleness and tenderness.
Here, You Mingyue cleverly integrates national characteristics with a classical sense of the era, perfectly interpreting Chinese beauty in the form of music and presenting it to the world.
The song has three wonders:
On Artistic Conception: "Blue and White Porcelain" is like a misty Jiangnan ink wash painting; amidst the stirring water and clouds, one can faintly see the lady in her white dress, her silk ribbons fluttering in the wind.
Regarding lyrics: 'Blue and White Porcelain' is a piece of plain-hearted stationery written by the window with elegance at the tip of the brush; the twists and turns of the writing are only because the heart is like a double-silk net, with thousands of knots inside;
Regarding the melody, 'Blue and White Porcelain' is like a mountain spring stream quietly flowing over stones in a breeze, clear and bright, yet winding and circling with endless meaning.
Artistic conception, lyrics, and melody—not one is not peerless!
However, in the song, the places where the beauty reaches the extreme are not just these three points.
There is also that word "wait," which sings of so much helplessness and sighing, and those three encounters...
This is a song where the lyrics, composition, singing, and arrangement have all reached the top level!"
Wang Bancheng's long review did not spare any flowery praise; if it were someone else saying this, people would definitely suspect if they had drunk fake alcohol or were taking bribes.
But this person was the Master Composer Wang Bancheng.
And this song was You Mingyue's "Blue and White Porcelain."
No one felt anything was wrong; in fact, to many music fans, the praise was still too little.
If you know how to speak, say more; don't be so stingy. You don't know that our literary skills are poor and we only know how to shout "Holy crap."
And under such similar comments, the download speed of "Blue and White Porcelain" became even more terrifying.
Heavenly Kings, Heavenly Queens, Master Composers... such existences watched helplessly as You Mingyue slaughtered the charts, their hearts trembling.
Who is the next god to be slaughtered?
The young girls did not pay attention to the excitement on the internet.
After entering the campus, the sisters split up, one going to the Directing Department, the other to the Opera Department.
Fortunately, she had a photographic memory; when she came last time, she had already memorized the route, otherwise, she would have had to ask for directions.
Imperial Drama Academy, Directing Department.
As one of the cradles for directors in China, many well-known Chinese directors have come from here.
Countless students want to apply for this major, but it is hard to enter. As the ace major of the Imperial Drama Academy, the requirements for the Directing Department are extremely high!
But among the students of the Imperial Drama Academy's Directing Department, there is a legend.
A freshman who has never attended a single directing class has already become an official director, not only participating in directing "Midnight Ring" but also directing a Xianxia TV series herself.
This freshman is the older sister of You Mingyue, Xu Youyue.
And at this moment, Xu Youyue, known as the legend, knocked on the office door.
"Come in."
As the deputy director of the Directing Department, Ye Rongyu had her own office.
Hearing Ye Rongyu's voice, Xu Youyue entered the room with her long legs.
"Good morning, teacher; I'm back."
Xu Youyue greeted with a smile; students might fear teachers, but she certainly didn't.
After all, we are also people of society.
Ye Rongyu looked up and saw it was Xu Youyue; a flash of joy crossed her face, then it quickly became serious:
"—Cough, it's Youyue, you still know how to come back? This semester is almost over."
Ye Rongyu rolled her eyes and said unhappily.
That's what she said, but she was very happy inside.
Although she hadn't officially taught Xu Youyue any knowledge, she had always regarded this girl as her proud student. The treatment was completely different from other students.
Perhaps, this is ability + beauty = justice.
"It's because filming was busy..." Youyue replied.
Ye Rongyu nodded; she actually knew what these twins were busy doing, then she blinked and said: "Having been a director for three months, I suppose you have gained many directing insights. How about this, I happen to have two professional directing classes this morning; you come and help me teach..."
"Huh?" Youyue was stunned for a moment: "I'll be the teacher?"
"Can't you?"
Ye Rongyu looked at Xu Youyue seriously. She did this actually to protect her.
Now in school, regarding the fact that these two sisters had asked for leave to film for three months right after school started, both students and teachers, and even some school leaders, had quite a few complaints.
Even on the internet, there were signs of people using this point to smear them.
Saying that students should honestly attend classes or something.
The solution Ye Rongyu came up with was to let Xu Youyue publicly demonstrate her directing skills.
If a student can already be a teacher, is it that important whether they study or not?
In this way, it would naturally stop the mouths of the masses.
Ye Rongyu was not worried about whether Xu Youyue would flip over; news in the circle spreads faster than people imagine, and she had already heard the term "Tyrant You Mingyue" from some old friends.
How could a director who could make those veteran actors praise her endlessly not be able to hold the stage?
Teaching Directing Department students shouldn't be a piece of cake?
Moreover, she could also find the shortcomings in her directing from Xu Youyue's lecture and explain them to her, which could be considered fulfilling her responsibility as a teacher.
Youyue nodded and said: "Alright, I'll try."
Having lectured veteran actors, would she be afraid of these students who haven't even grown their hair yet?
At the same time, on the other side, in the Opera Department.
The treatment of the younger sister, Xu Mingyue, was much better than her sister's.
When she arrived at the Opera Department, Cheng Shuying praised her endlessly, and the students and teachers of the Opera Department applauded her one after another.
As "Blue and White Porcelain" became popular across the country, the opera singing style in the song also became popular.
This made a very great contribution to promoting traditional Chinese opera.
As for Xu Mingyue's ability to sing opera, no one in the entire department doubted it; that stunning opera segment couldn't be fake, and even if a famous actor performed, it probably wouldn't be better than this.
Instead, seeing Xu Mingyue return, Cheng Shuying felt a bit of a headache.
"The student is too excellent; there's nothing for the teacher to teach!" ===== CHAPTER 259 =====
