The world is bathed in the fragrant April showers.

Peach blossoms in the mountain temples start to unfurl their petals.

Qinzhou's April fragrance lingers, the air still alive with a refreshing scent, the essence of spring remaining potent.

Meanwhile, online.

A piece of news explodes, rapidly circulating across all continents: "Qin Zhen and Xianyu to engage in a symphonic showdown in Central Continent this May!"

It’s unclear how the information leaked.

Netizens worldwide erupt in excitement!

"What!"

"So soon!"

"It's happening!"

"The battle for the number one spot on the music charts!"

"I had a feeling this clash was inevitable!"

"Anticipation!"

"If only I could be there in person."

"Don't even dream about it; the on-site tickets will likely vanish in an instant."

"Can 'Fish Daddy' emerge victorious?"

"I'm backing 'Daddy Yu' to win it all!"

"Me too!"

"Daddy Fish will triumph!"

"Although, Qin Zhen's skill is undeniable."

"I don't care; in my heart, Yu Daddy reigns supreme!"

"For all-around talent, Yu Daddy is indeed more versatile than Qin Zhen. For instance, an artist like Qin Zhen can't possibly master and perform every instrument as proficiently as Yu Daddy."

Indeed.

While the true difference in skill between Lin Yuan and Qin Zhen remains unknown, one thing is certain:

Lin Yuan's popularity is unparalleled!

Some diligent individuals even conducted a special poll: [Whom do you favor more, Qin Zhen or Xianyu?

The results were astonishing.

A staggering 70% of netizens declared their preference for Xianyu.

Do you presume the remaining 30% lean towards Qin Zhen?

Not quite.

An additional 20% favor Qin Zhen.

While the final 10% opted for neutrality, choosing the option "Like both."

What's even more amusing:

Yang Zhongming himself participated in the poll. He explicitly chose "I prefer Xianyu" and announced it publicly.

This declaration sent ripples of laughter through the online community.

"What do you call this kind of favoritism?"

"What defines short-term affection?"

"You can always count on Dad Yang!"

"So I only bow to Dad Yang and Dad Yu, completing this round of 'Fish and Sheep' appreciation!"

"Mr. Yang's take: This Qin Zhen fellow is all flash and no substance."

"Well, 'flashy' is one way to put it; I suppose I understand his perspective."

"It's hardly surprising to lose in popularity to Lin Yuan; he's fighting a two-front war. His popularity is a combined force of Chu Kuang and Xianyu, making him a global phenomenon! Is this the advantage of having multiple identities?"

"Dad Yang is truly courageous, unafraid of offending Qin Zhen."

"What is there to fear? Dad Yang also ranks in the top three on the music charts. Who is to say Qin Zhen can perpetually overshadow both Dad Yu and Dad Yang?"

Amidst the widespread amusement and laughter.

Qin Zhen suddenly posted a cryptic message: "520".

Initially, everyone assumed Qin Zhen was making a public declaration of affection until the Zhongzhou Concert Hall shared the post:

"Looking forward to the grand finale of the May 20th music event!"

It was then that the realization dawned: this was the designated date for the duel between Qin Zhen and Xianyu.

It appears Qin Zhen truly anticipated this encounter.

Perhaps the overwhelming support for netizens left Qin Zhen feeling discontented, though this is an unavoidable outcome when pitted against a talent like his opponent, a formidable competitor across multiple domains.

Naturally, Lin Yuan also received the official notification.

Having acquired the master-level conducting skill from the system, he was prepared, requiring only a few more practice sessions before the much-anticipated duel.

However, the outside world remained unaware that Lin Yuan intended to personally lead the symphony as its conductor.

In the ensuing days, events unfolded precisely as Lin Yuan had envisioned.

The animated film "Frozen" premiered at the close of April.

Within a single month, this cinematic masterpiece shattered box office records, amassing tens of billions and securing its place as Blue Star's third animated feature to breach the 10 billion mark.

"Shadow is experiencing unprecedented success!"

"That's the magic of the Painting God!"

"The world welcomes its third animated film to surpass 10 billion in box office revenue!"

"The renowned film 'Robot Wall-E' is a strong contender, and while its critical reception is on par with this new release, its box office performance is on an entirely different scale."

"Growth and accumulation!"

"After all, Shadow hasn't released a new animated feature in quite some time, though their Children's Channel has produced numerous cartoons."

"Is this the beginning of catching up to Lin Yuan's achievements?"

"I recall Lin Yuan's film 'Kung Fu' being the sole one to exceed 10 billion at the box office."

"The promotional material suggests a sequel is on the way."

"This marks two consecutive successes, a testament to peak confidence!"

"If the initial endeavor falters, the expense invested in the second could be forfeited entirely."

"So, Shadow didn't even entertain the notion of the first film failing."

"Astounding!"

Truly remarkable.

Even the top five major entertainment conglomerates on Blue Star hesitated to compete.

And bolstered by box office earnings in the tens of billions.

Shadow's standing among directors saw a significant ascent.

From the sixtieth position

To the top fifty

Then breaking into the top forty

This animated feature, critically acclaimed and commercially successful, propelled Shadow to the 38th rank.

It's a peculiar coincidence.

Because Lin Yuan himself once occupied the thirty-eighth spot on the film and television rankings.

It's as if Lin Yuan also achieved a box office milestone exceeding 10 billion for a film.

Netizens humorously commented:

Shadow appears to be retracing the path Lin Yuan previously forged.

However, Lin Yuan remains unconcerned, as "Frozen 2" is slated for release next month.

Lin Yuan candidly admitted:

The quality of the sequel does not quite match that of the original.

This is because the first "Frozen" shattered the conventional princess narrative of Disney animation, subverted the typical "prince and princess" storyline found in classic fairy tales, and shifted its focus to the bonds of sisterhood.

Much like the legend of the White Snake and Green Snake.

Yet, it's often observed that quality and box office success are not always directly correlated.

For instance, we all acknowledge the superior quality of the first "Frozen," but the second installment achieved considerably higher box office revenue globally.

This is because the first film laid the groundwork and built the reputation for the second. While the sequel is commendable, it falls slightly short of the original's excellence, leading Lin Yuan to still hold high expectations for it.

At that juncture.

Shadow's entry into the top 20 rankings would undoubtedly be secured.

However, this is not the final objective, as Shadow is concurrently preparing another animated production, and it's not solely limited to the Frozen franchise.

Even the venerable Lin Yuan himself has a new movie nearing completion.

According to Lin Yuan's strategic plan, the ideal scenario is to elevate both Shadow and the deity entity into the top ten simultaneously.

In such an event.

Once these two identities merge, it's estimated they could contend for a top three position, or perhaps even the number one spot.

The current month is May.

There remains a task to be completed in April.

This undertaking involves assisting Sister Lucky in launching her new album.

This year, each member of the Fish Dynasty is scheduled to release an album, and April is designated for Sister Lucky's release.

Sister Lucky's primary request for this album was the inclusion of a classical song as its foundation.

Without hesitation, Lin Yuan composed the song "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond" for her.

Drawing inspiration from Mr. Zhu Ziqing's renowned prose of the same title, the song integrates abundant fresh elements, exuding a profound classical Chinese charm and an artistic sensibility, making it perfectly suited for Lin Yuan to present to Sister Lucky.

Following that.

Lin Yuan also meticulously selected numerous pieces from the classic repertoire of Phoenix Legend that he felt would resonate exceptionally well with Sister Lucky.

Of course, the selection was not confined solely to the works of Phoenix Legend.

Regarding this matter.

Miss Lucky conveyed her preferences:

"I am comfortable singing songs in Mandarin and Cantonese. My pronunciation is generally standard, and I have no issues with English songs."

"Excellent."

Lin Yuan responded with genuine warmth.

This is the essence of tailored creation; it must align with the artist's desires. Lin Yuan would only offer guidance if the artist lacked a clear direction.

Upon the completion of the entire album recording, Starlight expedited its release, ensuring it was available before May.

The highly anticipated fourth album from the Fish Dynasty has arrived.

The overarching theme of this album is "Women"!

Upon their initial encounter with the album's theme, netizens were visibly taken aback.

Women? Why focus on women?

And when everyone had the chance to listen to the album's opening track, "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond," involuntary laughter erupted, momentarily distracting them from contemplating the album's central theme!

This particular song featured a duet performed by Lin Yuan and Sister Lucky.

During the chorus, Wei Haoyun's powerful rendition could be heard: [I am like a fish in your lotus pond, yearning only to share the bright moonlight with you. The lotus flowers retain their fragrance even after traversing the four seasons, awaiting you amidst the water.

Subsequently.

Lin Yuan's softly hummed lyrics followed: "Lotus pond, lotus pond, sing gently, moonlight, moonlight, listen slowly, fish, fish, swim leisurely."

"Hahahahaha!"

"This song is clearly an insider joke within the Fish Dynasty."

"The line 'I'm like a fish in your lotus pond' clearly conveys Sister Lucky's sentiment."

"Dad Yu's line, [Fish, fish, swim slowly and leisurely], is also quite amusing."

"The quality of this song is exceptionally high!"

"A distinctively classical-style composition!"

"It must be Miss Lucky's voice that carries this flavor!"

"Every time Yu Daddy sings with Sister Lucky, does he go all out?"

"This one is great."

"On the stage of 'The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style,' Father Yu only sang three words from beginning to end."

"Stay!"

"*Puff!*"

"Dad Yu: Let's sing together, half the performance fee is fine, right?"

Then, everyone heard the second song.

Lin Yuan: Lady

Miss Lucky: Aha

Lin Yuan: You will not get hurt

Moment!

The song's title is "Lang's Temptation."

The jokes about "Niangzi" and "Aha" had already sent countless netizens on Earth into fits of laughter.

And here on Blue Star…

The audience roared with laughter, finding it utterly amusing because this was completely unlike Lin Yuan's usual style!

"Hahaha!"

"Fish Father is the best!"

"This song is as wild as 'The Most Dazzling National Style'!"

"The 'Ye Qing Returns' series continues!"

"They all say Sister Lucky sings 'dirtily,' but today Yu Daddy is showing you he's going to sing with Sister Lucky!"

"Where's the dirt? Father Yu's singing is always top-tier!"

"Sister Good Luck: MMP, if I sing it, it's dirt. If Xianyu sings it, it's stylish. Is that high-end?"

"I couldn't accept this style before, but now I'm listening more and more. Have I been brainwashed by Father Yu?"

"My dad was singing along to 'Lady,' and our whole family replied in unison, 'Ah?'"

"Fun!"

"This album is so fun!"

In truth, on Earth, Phoenix Legend's songs were also initially deemed 'earthy.'

However, as people grew accustomed to the style, it evolved, and their appreciation for Phoenix Legend soared.

The third song is titled "On the Moon."

It's no exaggeration to say that after its release in 2005, this song became a nationwide sensation and the signature hit for Phoenix Legend!

Brainwashing!

Up!

"The melody and rhythm are spot on!"

"Oye!"

"That's Yu Daddy's 'Oye'!"

"Why does Father Yu's singing sound like shouting during a hook?"

"Can you even imagine this being sung by Fish Dad, who also delivered the melodic rap of 'Nocturne'?"

"But he's truly brilliant at it!"

"So incredibly exciting!"

"What's astonishing is that even with Sister Lucky's voice at full power, she still can't overpower Father Yu's!"

"The eternal grass grows as I see the snow flutter; the more I hear it, the better it sounds!"

"Haha, you've picked out all those lines from Father Yu!"

"It doesn't matter, the performance fee will still be split in half, good luck sister (dog head)"

Fourth song.

The song is "It's All Love."

Yes, it's another Phoenix Legend track.

This song was included in the album "Most Dazzling National Style," which wasn't hugely popular initially.

Who would have thought that after becoming a hit on Douyin, it would be translated into eight languages, with the Japanese version being adored by countless people!

"Listen!"

"Now *that's* music!"

"Extreme earthiness is trendy!"

"It's not easy, Dad Yu has finally added more lyrics!"

"Even though the lyrics are few, have you noticed how these songs are almost all about Father Yu playing the supportive role for Sister Lucky?"

"Otherwise, why would Father Yu say: 'Fish, fish, swim slowly'?"

"Sister Lucky: 'I'm like a fish in your lotus pond...'"

Some say the true genius of Phoenix Legend lies in the fact that you might not have their songs on your phone, yet you can sing them all.

Back then, they were criticized as vulgar.

But who could have predicted that Phoenix Legend would eventually be beloved by generations born in the 80s, 90s, and even the 00s?

The fifth song finally deviates from Phoenix Legend and also from Lin Yuan and Lucky Sister's duet.

The song Lin Yuan gifted to Wei Li, titled "Rainbow and Sonorous Roses," is an inspirational piece fitting perfectly with the 'Fish Dynasty' tradition.

Stormy rainbow!

Steel roses!

Given Wei Haoyun's personal journey and public image, singing this song is exceptionally fitting; she truly embodies a hero among women.

And during an international competition…

The Chinese women's national soccer team triumphed over Neon in a penalty shootout.

This song was on nearly everyone's mind at that moment.

It was because this song was chosen as the theme song for the Women's World Cup by the Chinese team.

From that point on…

This song became the enduring symbol of the women's football spirit for fifteen years.

"This song is incredible!"

"I can practically taste the championship victory!"

"Truly love it!"

"Blessed by good luck sister, I wish I will pass every exam!"

"Sister Lucky's blessing has been received!"

"It's probably not bad to use this song together with "Good Luck"."

"The good thing about this song is that it expresses the beautiful temperament of Blue Star women's combination of hardness and softness, strong and confident."

"Daddy Yu is really an inspirational song maker!"

"Maybe that's why the album theme is [Women]."

Sixth.

This time it's an English song called "My Heart Will Eternal".

One of the most famous English songs on earth.

The famous "Titanic" theme song.

Original singer Celine Dion.

The top diva in the international music scene.

This is one of her masterpieces.

"I heard that the whole person has been transformed."

"Heart full of emotion!"

"I think this is the most classic work of Yu Daddy's many English songs!"

"Can you still hear Miss Lucky's soil in this song?"

"The mood is full."

"There is no higher interpretation than this."

"Even without a strong rhythm, Miss Lucky can attract everyone's heart."

The seventh song is "Woman Flower".

There are more than one woman in the Fish Dynasty, but Sister Lucky is undoubtedly the most suitable to sing this song, still closely following the theme of "woman".

Originally sung by Anita Mui.

"The first few songs made me laugh like crazy, but when I heard this, I couldn't hold back."

"As a woman, I really thank Father Yu."

"Dad fish really understands."

"Yeah, sometimes we like a song, not because it sings so well, but because the lyrics are written like ourselves."

"Women are like flowers, blooming gracefully. I only wish to bloom in the most beautiful years and meet the right person."

"Wife, you have worked hard all these years!"

"Mom, you will always be the woman flower in my heart!"

"As you get older, your eye sockets become shallower."

The eighth song is "Mrs. Shexiang".

Listening to the title of the song, you know that it is still a woman.

Phoenix Legend has tried many styles of music, and this is one of them.

In Blue Star, this song is still sung by Lin Yuan and Sister Lucky.

"It turns out that the songs that fit the theme are all in the back."

"Be careful."

"Every one of these albums is so addicting."

"Please stay quietly."
