"Love Can Be Whatever It Is" performed by Gong Juren, lyrics and music by Ting Yu, 800,000 plays, ranking fourth. @Li Yunchuan
Only one day passed.
"Love Can Be Whatever It Is" had climbed into the top four.
Moreover, the listening volume was still growing rapidly.
At Blooming Entertainment, Li Yunchuan slumped in his office chair, his agent standing by with a wry smile, silent.
"Yun Chuan, don't be so pessimistic. Maybe there's a turn of events. I've already contacted the fan club to boost the playback volume. We'll fight to the death!"
The agent clenched his fist, cheering him on.
Li Yunchuan took a deep breath and said with a bitter smile, "Stop fighting to the death. Hurry up and cancel the hotel. We can still save some money..."
"No rush. His current plays aren't even half of ours," the agent replied, stunned.
"Fine, whatever you say..." Li Yunchuan closed his eyes.
He hadn't slept well last night. As soon as he fell asleep, he dreamt of men in black singing "Love Can Be Whatever It Is" in his ear.
As a result, he had little energy and was resting his eyes in the office for a moment.

Douyin Short Video.
Qin Shuang was one of the top influencers.
She had already gained tens of millions of followers two years ago.
In the past two years, she transitioned from covering popular online songs to making short videos.
The background music she used in her videos always received a good response.
Later, some entertainment companies would pay her to use their new songs in her videos.
And this morning, Qin Shuang, who had been inactive for half a month, updated a short video.
Gong Juren, a loyal fan who had followed Qin Shuang for years,
Never missed any of her videos.
"She finally posted a video. This wait was a bit long."
Gong Juren eagerly opened the video.
The video began with the male protagonist's back as he carried his guitar after class at night.
The scene shifted to the dormitory building.
He picked up his guitar, looked up at the dormitory building, and started playing.
"The sky really wants to rain, I really want to live next door to you..."
As he sang, a large group of students gathered around.
They held candles and swayed to the music.
Qin Shuang, as the female protagonist, poked her head out from the balcony, her eyes meeting the male protagonist's.
"Singing this song for you, it has no particular style.
It simply means, I want to bring you joy.
To thaw the ice river for you, to be a moth flying into the flame for you.
There's nothing that isn't worth it..."
As the chorus began, the female protagonist ran downstairs.
The atmosphere reached its peak at this moment.
Everyone started singing along.
Even the dormitory manager took out her phone, turned on the flashlight, and swayed to the rhythm of the song.
Finally, the camera cut back and forth between the male protagonist singing emotionally and the female protagonist running towards him.
"Late summer and early autumn, with a hint of warmth, carrying the colors of the changing seasons..."
The song ended, and the female protagonist reached the male protagonist.
They gazed at each other affectionately for a long time.
"Xiao Shuang, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
He took out a bouquet of flowers from his side and handed them to the female protagonist.
"Say yes! Say yes!"
"Say yes!"
"Say yes!"
"..."
The onlookers swayed their candles rhythmically.
Finally, tears welled up in the female protagonist's eyes, and she nodded.
The two embraced tightly.
The background music played, it was "Love Can Be Whatever It Is" sung by Gong Juren.
After the scene faded, a line of text appeared on the screen.
"May love find its purpose, may love find its home..."
Gong Juren stared at his phone blankly, unable to snap out of it for a long time.
The influencer he liked had used his song.
The feeling was indescribable.
The video had only been posted for a little over ten minutes, but it already had thousands of comments.
"So sweet!"
"Late at night, and the sugar content is off the charts!"
"So sweet, I'm completely smitten."
"This plot, paired with this song, melts my heart."
"Goddess Qin Shuang is really good at choosing songs. I declare this song a confession anthem!"
"I've heard this treasure of a song before. I've been looping it for days."
"I just checked. Although it's a new artist's song, both the lyrics and music are by Ting Yu, and he's also in the Confession Season competition. Friends who are interested can go support him."
"Who is Ting Yu?"
"You don't know Ting Yu? Have you heard of 'Later' which became popular a few days ago? He wrote that."
"Damn, so he's the lyricist and composer of 'Later'. Not only can he write sad love songs, but he can also write sweet little songs like this so well. I love it, I love it..."
Scrolling through the video's comments,
Gong Juren's smile was almost splitting his ears.
"I'm going to be famous!"
After a long while, he finally realized what it meant for Qin Shuang to use this song in her video.

Zhang Yang wanted to join Xinghui.
However, with his current abilities, applying would still be difficult.
Therefore, Su Yu woke up early to discuss it with Zhao Yuan at the company.
Although she was the director of the composition department and didn't manage artist affairs, someone in her position should have some connections within the company. At worst, he would owe Zhao Yuan a favor.
Moreover, Zhang Yang was very motivated. Since school was not in session for military training, he enrolled himself in an external vocal class.
Coupled with his existing vocal foundation, his progress should not be too slow.
Xinghui Composition Department.
"Old Yuan, you dare to eat at your workstation. Aren't you afraid Director Zhao will scold you?"
"Hmph, who is Zhao Yuan to me? With just a look from me, Yuan, she wouldn't dare to say a word."
Old Yuan lay back in his chair, his feet propped up on the desk.
He was happily eating a fried dough stick.
"Old Yuan is awesome!"
"As expected of a senior producer!"
Everyone gave him a thumbs up.
"Hehe, humble, humble."
Old Yuan swayed his head, very leisurely.
Just then, Zhao Yuan walked in from outside.
"Is it tasty?" she asked softly, standing behind Old Yuan.
"It's pretty good, just ran out of soy milk, so it's a bit dry," Old Yuan replied subconsciously.
Suddenly, he realized something was wrong. He turned around and saw Zhao Yuan's cold face.
He was so scared that his hand trembled,
And the fried dough stick fell to the ground.
"If you dare to eat at the office again, I'll make you clean for a month."
"Ahem... Director Zhao, you're so early today." Old Yuan chuckled sheepishly.
Then he quickly picked up the fried dough stick from the ground and threw it into the trash can.
"Old Yuan, didn't you say Director Zhao wouldn't care if you ate breakfast at the company?"
"So, you were just bragging earlier. I almost believed you."
The colleagues around them let out bursts of laughter.
There were over a dozen senior producers in the company, and also a mysterious ace producer. Those senior producers hardly ever came to the company, and that ace producer had never shown their face.
Old Yuan was an anomaly among these senior producers.
He was at the company almost every day.
"Why are you laughing? Our Director Zhao treats everyone equally!" Old Yuan gave a sideways glance at the colleagues who were teasing him, then turned to assure Zhao Yuan, "Hehe... Director Zhao, don't worry, it won't happen again!"
Zhao Yuan nodded calmly and turned to walk towards her office.
At this moment.
Su Yu walked in from outside. Da Feng Novel Network
"Hmm... everyone's here so early?"
He had a hot steamed bun in his mouth and was carrying a few in his hand. Seeing so many people in the office, he was surprised for a moment, then greeted everyone.
