Showbiz: Is This Really How You Make Music?!

When the protagonist revealed his identity, everyone exclaimed, "Wow, big shot!" But it turned out that the three songs and production cost 36,000 yuan, and they didn't even know if the company would take a cut, and they couldn't get the copyrights. Just give up.

The author has impressive music theory knowledge, but the entire story revolves around a thesis defense; the writing ability is terrible. In short, it's bland and uninteresting. Simply put, you want to read it but can't find a good plot; you want to drop it but can't find any major flaws that would make you abandon it. I skipped many of the awkwardly exaggerated scenes.

After all that, the protagonist has hundreds of songs at his disposal. He's reborn and playing in a band with a bunch of living dads, and to make matters worse, he's not even the lead singer! This is unbearable… 😅😅

The first hundred chapters were alright, readable enough. I have a high tolerance for bad writing and could still read it with my brain. But the later chapters, which I don't understand Russian and just copied Russian songs, completely broke me. Seriously, aren't there any alternatives in Mandarin or English? They're just feeding us readers shit!

If you're only at v4 after reading 6 books, it proves you're not suited for this job.

Just look at the number of posts in the book club; not many people like your work. Why not so many people? You like to write about technical things, but we just read for entertainment; who wants to read technical stuff? There's a song written for someone here called "Dazzling Realm," but for those of us who don't like that kind of music, it's really unpleasant.

Author, I really don't get your so-called humor. It feels too childish and self-satisfied.

The advantages are firstly the author's strong professionalism, and secondly, the protagonist's clear understanding of reality. Art is a standard form of social ideology, naturally carrying class attributes and stances; there is no art without class. Art used to praise the people or for commercial purposes is inherently present, and class attributes are inevitable.

Reading this novel, it feels like the author was trying too hard. They wanted it to be both classical and popular, classic yet relatable. It was also trying to be both sophisticated and abstract, and the protagonist is someone who's always getting into fights. It's hard to judge; the protagonist can be physically capable, but there's no need for him to be fighting so constantly.

I've always been puzzled. When I was in school, my classmates listened to Jay Chou, Wang Leehom, David Tao, Jolin Tsai, and the like. It felt like Xu Song just suddenly appeared out of nowhere. I first heard of Xu Song because I think he was the director of QQ Music. I tried listening to his songs, and the first time I heard them, I thought they were okay, quite refreshing. But the next time I listened to them, I felt they were all the same, all so pretentious.
