Chapter 24: Her Song Makes a Comeback
At first, when it was fully launched, the response was average, but the day after the TV drama "Half a Lifetime of Folly" aired, the trial listening and download numbers continued to set new records, and the ranking on search engines remained high.
It could be said that "Voicing Love" became a hit because of the weekly drama "Half a Lifetime of Folly" boosting it.
But it's more accurate to say that "Voicing Love" in itself was a perfect song.
Yuran sat on the sofa, half-lifting her eyelids as she watched the entertainment news broadcast, with a smile at the corner of her lips that looked somewhat ironic, yet perhaps not.
On the big screen, the presenter was introducing the performer and creator of the song.
"As everyone knows, the song 'Voicing Love', which has been topping the charts for the past two days, is an insert song for the hot weekly drama 'Half a Lifetime of Folly'. It has been very popular for some time now, so let's introduce the singer and songwriter of this song next.
As it's widely recognized, this song was composed, written, and sung by Lin Chen, an artist under Yinchao Entertainment, which was akin to years of grinding for a single success! You should know that since Lin Chen released his album three years ago, there have hardly been any works of his in the public eye, and the subsequent two EPs, unfortunately, didn't receive much response.
But as fans of Lin Chen, you can now hold your heads high, your idol has certainly made an impressive impact the moment he chose to strike!
Though the audience initially became familiar with it as an insert song for 'Half a Lifetime of Folly', the song maintained its success due to its inherent quality, which allowed it to fight its way to the forefront with its fresh melody and tone, and its uniquely charming musical allure, dominating the top ten of various charts. Later on, it's expected to show an upward trend even further."
Lin Chen, the idol, has once again come to the forefront and is receiving a lot of attention due to massive success of the song 'Voicing Love', where he openly shares that the inspiration for the song came from..."
If Yuran appeared calm at the beginning, by now, her expression could be described as indifferent. She indifferently watched a song she wrote be crowned in someone else's name and then soar in popularity. She was equally indifferent as she watched her song stolen by others, becoming a tool for their success.
Her fingers touched the remote control beside her and she turned off the TV. Just then, her phone rang, and she got up and walked out of the room.
In the kitchen, Mother Bo was still happily preparing dinner for her. Not wanting her own issues to affect the people she cared about, she slightly knitted her brows, then headed toward the small garden.
"Yuran, I... I'm very sorry!" As soon as the call connected, Annan's sobbing voice came through. It was evident that she had been crying for a long time, her voice hoarse before she gathered the courage to make this call to Yuran. Avoidance had never been her style.
Perhaps she had been crying too long; her voice was hoarse and raspy, as if it had been scalded by hot oil, carrying a heavy and indefensible sorrow.
Yuran stood in front of a bonsai in the courtyard, pruned like a Christmas tree, which inexplicably lightened her mood a bit.
Her lack of response for a long time almost drove the person on the other end of the phone to despair. Annan's voice was nasal, as if she was about to cry again, "Yuran, I really didn't expect, he would be so duplicitous towards me. Of course, I am partly to blame, and I admit it, it wasn't intentional. But rest assured, I'll find a way to get justice for you!"
"There's no need for that..." Yuran sighed and said. After a puzzled sound from Annan, she explained, "The song 'Voicing Love' was just something I wrote for fun in my spare time. I just didn't expect that he wouldn't even bother to change the name!"
