The lyrics of "Moon Wheel" were adapted from "Lamenting the Toil of the Moon Above" by Nalan Xingde, a poet from the Qing Dynasty. Fang Jueyu added many ancient style elements to the melody, giving this song a rich Huaxia aesthetic. If the Moon Wheel remains resplendent, Unfaltering through ice and snow in warmth for thee. Singing at autumn graves, the sorrow isn't yet gone, In spring clusters, recognize the twin-rested butterflies. ... With a sweet voice, solid singing skill, and these niche musical elements, the mentors were immediately impressed. All listeners, whether at the venue or in front of screens, seemed to witness a beautiful love story. "My ears are pregnant, this really is a celestial performance!" "It's so good, I love Xinyu so much, I think I was her microphone in a past life!" "Did Dean Fang really write this song? He's way too versatile!" "Debut! Strong demand for a debut!" "Where can I hear this song? If I don't loop it tonight, I definitely won't be able to sleep!" ... The final ranking of the competition was determined by votes from four judges and the audience. Guo Xinyu's votes skyrocketed like a rocket, surpassing the previous top three contestants in just a few minutes. "This is unreal," Fang Jueyu, watching the competition from the VIP area, was dumbfounded. He knew this song could create a stunning effect, but he hadn't anticipated such madness. Even the live chat was being flooded with comments. Everyone was searching for download options for the song, but since Guo Xinyu had only finished recording it yesterday, it wasn't available on any music platforms yet. This left the fans tearing at their hair in frustration. "Offering big money for a download link to 'Moon Wheel'!" "My roommate wants to hear 'Moon Wheel' one last time before he dies!" ... Since the event was livestreamed on the Bamboo platform, which had a feature for live donations, Guo Xinyu's account on the platform hadn't been deleted yet. Suddenly, donations poured in from everywhere. With a share of the donations, Wang Cong watched his company account balance rapidly grow with a gleeful smile. "Haha, Fang, I guarantee, if this song charges on the platform, you guys are going to make a killing!" "No way," Fang Jueyu had no intention of making money from this. "If I keep earning like this, when would it ever end?" Wang Cong immediately rolled his eyes. Was there really someone in this world who thought they had too much money? "So, after a fierce competition, our champion is about to be revealed!" The host walked onto the stage. "In my hands, I have the final vote results for the four contestants!" In truth, the result was already quite clear, as the cheers from the crowd said it all. "The champion of this 'Bamboo Masterpiece' with a total of 25,468,542 on-site votes is our number six contestant—Guo Xinyu!" "Whoa!" The venue exploded like a bomb had gone off, with flowers and applause engulfing the entire stage... ... Next came the final lucky draw. The ten Didi aviation vouchers and the 20-year usage rights to private island 89757 in the Aegean Sea had made countless spectators drool for a long time, pushing the atmosphere to a peak. But Fang Jueyu was no longer concerned with the draw results. He jogged all the way to the backstage dressing room, where Guo Xinyu was already waiting for him. He lifted her up and spun her around a few times. Though it was Guo Xinyu's success, Fang Jueyu was also extremely happy. "Our future big star, you were amazing today!" Fang Jueyu set Guo Xinyu down, his eyes full of affection. "It's all because of your great composition and lyrics—someone else might have sung it even better," Guo Xinyu said. "I never thought everyone would like 'Moon Wheel' so much." "Hahaha, people are already thinking about how to download this song—it's definitely going to be a hit!" "Ding! Alipay receipt of 9 yuan!" "Ding! Alipay receipt of 9 yuan!" "Ding!" "Ding!" ... Suddenly, Guo Xinyu's phone started to incessantly chime with payment notifications. The sound was so frequent that the phone couldn't handle the power consumption and automatically shut down! A moment later, Fang Jueyu's phone also began to receive payments frantically. S~eaʀᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The two exchanged a glance but were equally puzzled. Why was Alipay suddenly receiving money? Had someone posted their payment code in a store somewhere? "What... what's going on?" Fang Jueyu was bewildered. "I have no idea either!" Guo Xinyu was equally surprised. Fang Jueyu's phone hadn't been overtaken by messages yet; in just a few seconds, there were over 99+ payment notifications. "Wait, I'll ask Sister Zhuang Ying. She should know what's happening." Fang Jueyu wasn't at all concerned about his company's affairs, which were entirely managed by Zhuang Ying. His phone was almost too hot to hold, so he borrowed one and called Zhuang Ying directly. "Sister Zhuang Ying, what's going on with Xinyu and my Alipay?" "Young Master, we've sold the rights to 'Moon Wheel' to Tianyi Group's Tianyi Cloud Music platform for promotion. They opted for real-time payment based solely on song traffic income. The song's price is 18 yuan, so as the performer and lyricist-composer, you and Miss Xinyu each receive half the income!" "So all this money we're getting is from song revenue?" "That's right! The song went live on Tianyi Cloud Music five minutes ago, so there should be a lot of paying users by now!" "Oh, my God!" Fang Jueyu put down his phone and began massaging his temples. At this rate, his single night's earnings were likely to be tens of millions or even a billion, and all this money flowed directly into his cash flow. Why was it so hard to spend some money? The popularity of "Moon Wheel" was unimaginable. By midnight, three hours after its release, 1.2 million copies had been sold—a staggering number that continued to rise, as some fans even purchased multiple times to support Guo Xinyu! It went without saying for Fang Jueyu. Guo Xinyu also became a millionaire overnight, but more importantly, she attracted a large fan base! "It's just 18 bucks! Such a good song, consider this a gift in advance!" "I bet tonight the Dean and Miss Xinyu will keep hearing 'Alipay receipt of 18 yuan' notifications!" "Hahaha, the commenter above is a genius. But I think they split it, 9 yuan each!" "Waiting for Miss Xinyu to release her next single—I'll definitely support it all the way!" ...
