    Reader note

    ① In 1994, Chinese rock music reached its peak, and the protagonist may have distinguished himself in this era thanks to his unique understanding and talent for rock music. He might have started as an unknown music enthusiast, gradually building his fanbase by participating in various underground rock performances. For example, he might have formed a rock band, attracting a growing audience with their unique musical style and passionate performances in small bars. As word spread, they began to have opportunities to perform on larger stages, such as music festivals in various cities. In that era of rock's popularity, the protagonist might have had the chance to meet rock stars of the time. He might have met these stars backstage at music festivals or at music exchange events, learning a great deal from them about music creation and performance. For instance, at a large rock music festival, the protagonist might have had the opportunity to exchange ideas with a famous rock singer, and the two resonated with each other on musical philosophies. This star might even have offered valuable suggestions to the protagonist's band, helping him further improve his musical skills. This plotline showcases the interpersonal relationships and cultural atmosphere of the 1990s rock scene, allowing readers to understand the charisma of rock stars at the time. The interactions between the protagonist and these stars add many highlights and drama to the story. As the protagonist's fame in the rock world grows, he may gradually venture into other areas of the entertainment industry, such as recording music albums and shooting music videos. However, the entertainment industry is not always smooth sailing. The protagonist may face commercial pressure from record companies, inaccurate media reports, and competition from peers. For example, when recording his first album, the protagonist's band had disagreements with the record company regarding musical style and market positioning. The record company wanted them to produce more commercial music, while the protagonist insisted on maintaining the purity of rock, leading to a series of conflicts and contradictions. This plotline showcases the complexity and reality of the entertainment industry, allowing readers to see the difficult choices and challenges the protagonist faces in pursuing his musical dreams, increasing the story's tension and readability. While the protagonist's career is flourishing, he may become entangled in romantic relationships. He may develop feelings for a woman who also loves music, but as his career progresses, the two may disagree on life and musical philosophies. For example, the female lead wants the male lead to reduce his workload and spend more time with her, while the male lead believes that this is a crucial period for the band's development and he cannot afford to be distracted. This conflict between his feelings and his career puts the male lead in a dilemma.
