章 24: An Absolute Masterpiece.
"Let's add some falsetto here, a little treble there, some bass here and some autotune there" Long Tian started to make some adjustments to the song alongside Old Jian.
"Okay, now let's listen to the song." Old Jian said.
The Music started first, it was a little soothing, then came the soulful voice of Fu Shiyi.
"The plum blossoms bloom just to wither away,
I tried my best but couldn't ask you to stay,
The Sun shines just to hide away,
I just hope to be with you for another day,"
Old Jian, Fu Shiyi, Su Feifei, all three of their pupils dilated, how can a song be so good? they thought.
"This.. this will definitely cause a storm in the industry." Old Jian said trembling with excitement.
"Never knew that I could sing so well!" Fu Shiyi was also wide eyed.
"It's all the magic of music; Music is the very soul of the song, so the better the music, the better your singing will sound." Old Jian said to Fu Shiyi.
"This song is ready to be released, let us get our Advertising crew ready, a good song deserves some good marketing." Su Feifei said, as a manager she has some business instincts, so she knows best on how to promote the song.
Soon the four parted ways, Long Tian said his byes and got into his car. But as soon as he got into his car, he received a message in his phone.
"An amount of RMB 10,000,000 has been deposited into your Bank Account No. 54XX XXXX XXXX by the Account No. 69XX XXXX XXXX"
Long Tian seemed a little surprised, but before he could even close the message, he received a call from Feng Xueyue.
"Hey Long Tian, I think you have received the amount."
"Yes, but why did you send me 10 Million RM?"
"Huh, seriously? Our company could seal the deal with Statham Motors because of you, that deal was worth nearly 300 Million Sterling Pounds which is approximately 4 Billion RMB, you should be asking me why you are being rewarded so less. Don't worry, the rest of the payment is in form of stocks."
"Oh! is that so, thank you." Even though Long Tian did not know how much he will be receiving in stocks, he was quite happy, who doesn't like money?, Long Tian drove off to his house.

Next Morning, Critic Lao was Country Z's most renowned 'Critic', he was a very strict critic, he never took money to write flowery compliments about a song, movie or anything. He has been a Critic for nearly 40 years. He started writing reviews since he was 10 years old, his father used to own a big theatre which was famous back in the day, so the young Critic Lao would write a review and paste it outside near the film poster for the ticket buyers to read.
Now, 40 years later, with his own hard work Critic Lao turned that one Theatre into more than 10 Multiplexes all over Country Z, all in all he was a very revered Critic. But what's so striking about him is his high standards for entertainment.
Early this year when K-Pop was all the heat, a K-Pop Boy Band released a song in expectations that their song would top the Billboard Charts. The song did great for the first few days, in fact, it would have been completely possible for the song to top the Billboard Charts, but alas, their song attracted the attention of Critic Lao.
"I am deeply disappointed in the taste of the current generation, how can a song with such overused music and overused lyrics with some silly dance gain this level of hype?" That was the comment he made.
Enraged by this, all the brainless fans of the Boy Band started to curse Critic Lao and asked him to point out the flaws in the song. Just minutes later, Critic Lao wrote a full list of flaws which took the internet by storm, the Song's rating and sales fell straight into the deepest layers of hell.
That was the power of Critic Lao, a true Critic and lover of Entertainment. This is what made him world famous, he even attends the Oscars every year.
When he woke up and went into the 'Latest Releases' section in his iTunes app, he found "Moving On" which was just released 20 seconds ago.
"Oh! so that little girl Fu Shiyi has finally dropped a new song, this song decides if she will stay an A grade singer or become the Queen of a new era."
Critic Lao played the song, the first lyric came along with the music, and Critic Lao's pupils dilated. Soon he listened to the entire song. He listened twice, thrice and almost an entire hour on repeat.
"Moving On, eh, what a song!" He said with a teardrop slowly falling from the corner of his eye. Critic Lao is a man too, he too must have experienced a heartbreak.
Soon, he opened his Twitter and started to write the review for the song. He typed in a few words but then somehow felt they were lacking, then he typed a sentence but he still didn't feel at ease, after a few minutes of pressing "Backspace" continuously, he finally posted the review, it was summarized in just three words.
"Fu Shiyi's New Single 'Moving On' :- An Absolute Masterpiece."

Author's Note :- Okay, so you guys have been wondering why there were no updates recently right, well my University has decided to conduct exams everyday of the week, that's right, you did not read it wrong, 7 days 7 exams 7 subjects, they will be conducted every week so I won't have much time on my hand, I will be updating the novel but not as fast, so I hope you bear with me as I have no plans of abandoning this Masterpiece of mine.
P.S :- That sheer amount of exams is fairly common in my country, we kinda grow up getting used to it. In fact 7 exams a week can be considered mediocre at the very best in the burden levels. Anyway see you guys in the next chapters, Calculus is calling me, it will give me nightmares if I don't go.
