AFVSIBS Chapter 47 Late Night Call from the Pop Queen
Zhou Chen pressed the answer button and said, "Yang Jie, it's late, haven't you rested yet?"
"Come on, it's not even half past eleven yet, who sleeps so early, especially young people like us," Yang Hanhan replied.
"Alright, I'm actually getting ready to sleep. So, Yang Jie, what's up?"
"Don't tell me? You're already going to bed so early? Are you trying to avoid chatting with me, so you deliberately found an excuse?" Yang Hanhan joked.
"It's really not like that. Lately, I've been trying to go to bed before midnight. I don't want to stay up late and harm my health," Zhou Chen explained.
Yes, since crossing over to this world, Zhou Chen had set himself a goal: to try to sleep before 11 p.m. and preferably not later than midnight.
The idea was if he could sleep before 11 p.m., he would strive for that, but if for some reason he couldn't make it by 11 p.m., he would try not to exceed midnight.
For example, tonight, due to attending an event, it was already past ten when the event ended, and after taking a shower, it was already past eleven. Naturally, he could only try to not exceed midnight.
"Um, you're living a healthy lifestyle at such a young age. That's quite unusual," Yang Hanhan, who had never experienced Zhou Chen's experience of losing a life due to staying up late, couldn't understand Zhou Chen's approach. After all, in this era, including the readers who are currently reading this book, very few young people go to bed before eleven.
Staying up late had become a normal phenomenon among contemporary young people.
"It's okay, I just want to have adequate sleep. By the way, Yang Jie, what's the matter you want to talk to me about?"
"It's for the song 'Childhood' that you sang tonight. You're really amazing, writing such a profound song. At first, I was worried you were really going to sing a children's song. I didn't expect it to be such a powerful song. Congratulations, you trended tonight." Yang Hanhan said.
"Speaking of this, I have to thank Yang Jie for posting on Weibo for me."
As for the incident where the pop queen praised "Childhood" on Weibo, Zhou Chen also heard about it on the way back.
Anyway, it was still very grateful for a pop queen to take the initiative to praise the song he sang, regardless of whether he decided to play seriously or let go.
"You're welcome. Your talent and ability moved me. I'm really looking forward to your new album. I believe it will definitely be a collection of many hit songs."
"Yang Jie, you're flattering me. I don't have that ability. Right now, I just want to finish participating in the program as soon as possible, and then I can rest for a while."
"You're really special. Other trainees would love to have a program to participate in every day so they can get exposure every day. But you, you just want it to end early."
Yang Hanhan was increasingly unable to understand Zhou Chen's uniqueness.
He's just so different.
"That's others, not me. I don't want to be like that. I just want to live a normal life. Well, it's almost midnight. Yang Jie, let's talk about it tomorrow. Good night."
With that, Zhou Chen hung up the phone.
"This Zhou Chen, really, he hung up the phone before the conversation was finished."
Yang Hanhan couldn't help but mutter in incomprehension.
If it were someone else, they would want to chat endlessly.
But Zhou Chen, he hung up the phone after just a few sentences.
However, Yang Hanhan just couldn't understand Zhou Chen's uniqueness, but she wasn't angry because of it.
While Zhou Chen entered dreamland, on the other side, Li Yuan's cousin, Li Niuniu, had already finished writing the short essay on Zhou Chen's new song "Childhood."
He was very clever. In order to make Zhou Chen's plagiarism seem more reasonable, he even fabricated a so-called foreign song called "In Childhood," and the lyrics were also based on Zhou Chen's performance of "Childhood."
It had to be said, he was quite talented, but unfortunately, he didn't put it in the right place.
"Niuniu, have you finished over there? The article must be posted tonight to thoroughly tarnish Zhou Chen's reputation. Otherwise, the results will be announced tomorrow morning, and I don't want to see him advance."
Before going to sleep, Li Yuan also sent a text message urging Li Niuniu.
"Brother Yuan, don't worry, I've already written the essay. I'm about to post it online, and you sent a message just in time." Li Niuniu replied.
"Great, go ahead and post it. Send me the link later, so I can take a look too."
Li Yuan couldn't help but feel happy.
"Sure thing, no problem. But this time writing the essay took quite a bit of effort from me, so you'll have to compensate me well afterwards."
"This little problem, after I'm done with my busy schedule, I'll treat you to a big meal and a week-long trip to Romantic Island." Li Yuan generously expressed.
"Thanks, Brother Yuan. I'll go post the essay now."
After replying with a sentence, Li Niuniu immediately went online to publish the essay he had written.
Soon, an article titled "Zhou Chen's Performance of 'Childhood' Plagiarizes Foreign Song 'In Childhood'" appeared on the internet.
Due to Zhou Chen's popularity tonight, the post immediately attracted a lot of clicks from netizens.
"Really? Zhou Chen's 'Childhood' is actually a plagiarism? This is so regrettable. Such an outstanding song, I thought it was his original work."
"After seeing the color palette released in the article, it seems that Zhou Chen's 'Childhood' did plagiarize. And even the melody is almost identical. This is simply despicable. He hasn't even debuted yet and is already plagiarizing others' works."
"No wonder he, a trainee who hasn't even debuted, can write so many excellent original songs. It turns out he's plagiarizing others. Trying to take shortcuts through plagiarism, but he's already off track from the beginning."
"Zhou Chen is so disappointing. Instead of taking the right path, he chose to plagiarize. I seriously doubt whether his previous song 'The Moon Represents My Heart' was also plagiarized from a foreign song."
"They must all be plagiarized. Otherwise, think about how a trainee who hasn't debuted yet could be so talented? If he's so talented, why be a trainee? He would have debuted long ago and become a king of the music industry."
...
Many netizens did not bother to verify whether there was a song called "In Childhood" abroad, and whether this "In Childhood" was similar to Zhou Chen's "Childhood" as described in the article. After seeing the article, they immediately became angry and began to accuse and insult Zhou Chen as a plagiarist.
