Chapter 148: Chapter 147: This Song is Pretty Good, Who Wrote It?

“It seems like Chen Mo is quite rich now, his effort into games seems more and more impressive!”

“I take it back, this guy isn’t one who cheaps out on promoting his game, he planned this out extensively!”

“I feel like he’s back to making good games ever since he made Warcraft. Look at this game, he even got Zhou Yifeng to perform the theme song. He has a good heart!”

“Maybe he didn’t buy it using money…”

“It’s fine even if he did spend the money, other companies wouldn’t spend it like this.”

“I’ll give it a listen! Zhou Yifeng is singing, the song can’t be that bad right?”

Zhou Yifeng also posted a Weibo not long after Chen Mo’s.

“Main song for my new alb.u.m A Life of Fighting is but a Dream is now available for listening! This song is made in partners.h.i.+p with Mr Chen Mo from Thunderbolt Entertainment. Also, keep an eye out for his new game Wulin Legend. It’s a Wuxia game that is very traditional, the game is great too!”

Everyone was shocked to see that Weibo!

Zhou Yifeng promoted the song himself too!

There were people who were saying that Chen Mo bought the song, but if that was true, why would Zhou Yifeng go through the effort of promoting Chen Mo? Moreover, the song was used as the featured song in his alb.u.m, meaning that Zhou Yifeng was happy with the song too!

Many players who didn’t care about this started listening to the song on the basis of that Weibo.

And they realised after one listen that the song was really good!

Soon, the discussion of the song in the comments under Weibo and music streaming websites started appearing, and popularity of the song was steadily increasing!

“This song is great! It sounds really heroic and clean. It fits the Wuxia theme really well! It would most certainly be a cla.s.sic if it were to be a theme of a Wuxia TV show!”

“I feel like I’m in a Wuxia world where every action has to do with grat.i.tude and revenge!”

“My wine, my knife!”

“This is what Wuxia should feel like!”

“Wuxia songs are all elegant and majestic, making the listener feel like they are in the battle. This song wasn’t as hoa.r.s.e as the other ones, but manages to convey the emotions of Wuxia through and through!”

“I just want to be in a Wuxia world fighting, I don’t wanna do homework…”

“There are four doctors in a phyciatric ward, one laughs everyday, one sighs everyday, one is jolly everyday, and the last is sad everyday. The patients call them: Doctor Laugh, Doctor Sigh, Doctor Jolly, and Doctor Depressed.”

The song hit the top three songs of the day in no time with the help of the fans, and showed no signs of stopping!

Everyone was wondering, who could this song be written by?

Many thought that Zhou Yifeng wrote it himself as he was a singer-songwriting who had written many memorable songs in the past.

Others thought that didn’t make sense as Zhou Yifeng did songs that focused on love in the past, none of them had anything to do with Wuxia!

Moreover, the lyrics for A Life of Fighting is but a Dream required the expertise of someone with deep knowledge in Wuxia and strong literary skills. This didn’t fit Zhou Yifeng.

Zhou Yifeng released another Weibo following the other post.

“There are many wondering who wrote the song. The lyrics and melody are written and composed by Mr Chen Mo. I’m sorry I didn’t specify that earlier.”

Huh? Chen Mo wrote this?

Chen Mo can compose too?

“Really? Chen Mo can compose? Why can’t I believe that!”

“Are you stupid? All the music for Warcraft was composed by Chen Mo, the story was also managed by Chen Mo. Do you think he didn’t have the music skills or the literary skills?”

“But this is Wuxia themed!”

“Yhea, and he made a Wuxia game. Would he make one if he had no knowledge in this?”

“I’m really impressed, Wuxia is also part of his resume?”

“I plan to play this game now. If this was actually written by Chen Mo, he must really understand the idea and emotions behind Wuxia, this game might be extraordinary!”

Following the popularity of this song, Zhou Yifeng’s new alb.u.m and Wulin Legend gained plenty of popularity too!

Zen Entertainment’s advertising department was shocked. They spent so much money and effort to put out this many ads thinking that the victory was in their hands, but Chen Mo came out of nowhere with this??

It would’ve been fine if it was only Zhou Yifeng singing the song, but the song sounds so good and was so popular too!

My goodness!

Inside the experience store, Qian Kun was playing Wulin Legend and singing, “Things come and go, where can we meet again…”

“Please stop singing…” begged Zheng Hongxi.

“You even got the lyrics wrong!” complained Su Jinyu.

“Can someone save my ears…” pleaded Wen Lingwei.

Even Chen Mo was starting to get annoyed, “You sing the song of death. They take money when they sing, but you take lives!”

Even Lin Xue was complaining as she was playing, “Please stop, my followers are threatening to unfollow!”

Qian Kun was bothered, “Is it really that bad?”

Su Jinyu replied, “I don’t understand how you could sing a song with such a simple melody so badly.”

“I’m going to play the original version to cleanse everyone’s ears…” said Chen Mo.

The experience store was filled with A Life of Fighting is but a Dream sung by Zhou Yifeng through the speakers.

“This song is really good. Everytime I listen to it, I feel like I’m about to grab my sword and head on the road.” said Zheng Hongxi.

“Yeah, I think only someone like Zhou Yifeng can sing this song so well,” added Qian Kun. “The other singers that have no skills and all personality would never be able to make it sound so elegant.”

“So many people didn’t believe it when the manager posted that Weibo, they thought he bought the song. But not only did he not spend money, he’s even earning from it…” said Wen Lingwei.

“The manager is capable of doing everything. I’m entirely impressed,” expressed Su Jinyu.

“Sit down, sit down. It’s nothing much.” said Chen Mo. “Alright, we’ve gotten plenty of publicity and attention, and the game is more or less done. You guys can take a break and we’ll wait till we release the game.”

A bunch of Chinese themed games went online at the end of the month.

There were many mobile games and some PC games, and most of them were standalone games. Evidently, most of them were trying to catch the heart of the Game Committee, and joined just for a chance at the prize.

Although it was a political exercise, there were many games that were actually good as the Game Committee has really specific tastes, a scammy game would ever have a chance.

Players knew that although there were many games, there were only two games that stood a chance at first place, Zen Entertainment’s Tale of the Sword and Thunderbolt Entertainment’s Wulin Legend.

Players and members of the Game Committee were all downloading these games. The committee members in particular paid much more attention to these games than the average player.

But in the grand scheme of things, Chinese games weren’t as good as overseas games. There were also Chinese themed games, but they were never fully explored and developed.

Who knows if there will be a high quality timeless cla.s.sic among these Chinese themed games?
