All-rounder Artist-Chapter 720 - 686: Night’s 7th Chapter_1
Chu Kuang is Chu Kuang, Xian Yu is Xian Yu...
Though there is some overlap in their fan bases, because novels and music are completely different forms of art, their main fan groups are certainly not the same people.
Under normal circumstances, it’s difficult for Chu Kuang’s fans to buy Xian Yu’s songs.
Similarly, Chu Kuang’s novels don’t usually incite much enthusiasm in Xian Yu’s fans.
The effect of each borrowing the other’s popularity is relatively limited.
But this time it’s different, due to an unexpected combination of circumstances, Xian Yu might actually be able to fully capture Chu Kuang’s popularity!
Lin Yuan’s mind started turning rapidly.
There are quite a few songs about Sherlock Holmes, even including some instrumental music.
But considering this song not only needs to satisfy Holmes fans, but also cater to the general public worldwide, it’s safer to lean towards pop...
In this case, perhaps there’s only one choice of song.
The name of the song, "The Seventh Chapter of Night"!
A work of Director Zhou!
This song is definitely one of Director Zhou’s most representative works, holding an extremely high status among his fans!
Director Zhou himself also places great importance on this song!
Right.
Because energy is limited, it’s completely normal for singers to prioritize some of their songs over others.
Being impartial is unrealistic.
The reason Director Zhou places so much importance on this song is because he sought out Zhong Xinmin and Michael Lin, two master arrangers!
Zhong Xinmin and Michael Lin are among the top arrangers in the Celestial Dynasty on Earth!
Most of Director Zhou’s classic songs involve these two, they have thus earned the label of Director Zhou’s go-to arrangers.
However, they don’t often collaborate.
When these two joined forces to arrange "The Seventh Chapter of Night", their collaborative work transcended their individual talents!
If this song is an examination, they have almost submitted a perfect answer sheet!
Later, on a show called "The Strongest Brain", Director Zhou proudly brought up this song.
He said that being able to create this song made him "The Strongest Brain"!
This shows how satisfied he was with this song.
Zhong Xinmin, one of the arrangers, also mentioned in a large lecture that he charges the same for all his arrangements, and that he worked for over seven months on this song, making a huge loss...
These details are enough to show the power of this song.
The song narrates the story of the famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, with a suspenseful tone.
The prelude consists of a hurried typewriter sound, setting the stage for the investigation. Holmes’ diary hides various clues. The highly artistic classical music and relatively trendy electronic music styles blend together, accompanied by fast-paced rap. The singer seems to embody Holmes, leading the audience to uncover the truth of the murder case!
In the song.
The singer’s purposely low and coarse voice, paired with a soft high female voice, suggests the detective’s calmness and the killer’s madness.

In the end.
The song finishes with a falsetto, showing a rare cinematic arrangement style in pop music-
It has a strong sense of imagery!
This is a song that places a strong emphasis on imagery. Listening to this song, it’s as if you are watching a detective movie!
In the lyrics.
The various references to plotlines from the Sherlock Holmes novels recreate many classic cases. Those who have read the Sherlock Holmes novels would surely immerse themselves in it.
What’s more...
Even those who haven’t read "Sherlock Holmes" would be attracted to this song by its atmosphere and melody!
Participating in the June chart competition with this song couldn’t be more appropriate!
You should know.
Just the frightening number of Sherlock Holmes fans alone could sustain the market for this song!
Not to mention Xian Yu’s influence in the music scene and among fans, as well as the high quality of this song itself!
Ultimately, the quality of the song is the key.
Otherwise, even with popularity to exploit, topping the season chart isn’t an easy task.
Eyes shining.
Lin Yuan made up his mind.
He went ahead and placed a request for the song with the system.
Of course.
Having agreed to change the ending, he still needed to continue writing the Sherlock Holmes series.
Lin Yuan planned to select a few classic chapters from "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" to create the finale of this novel.
Lin Yuan thought:
Perhaps for fans of this work, listening to "The Seventh Chapter of Night" after reading the finale of the novel may feel more ceremonial.
This is a reflection of the entire novel, brimming with nostalgia and powerful emotions.
Perhaps this song will become an important reason for more people to recognize Sherlock Holmes.
...
Lin Yuan’s bedroom.
The tick-tock of keyboard keys echoed incessantly.
The order of cases solved by Sherlock Holmes and the chronological order are not the same, so the novel does not have a clear finale.
However, Lin Yuan still summarized a finale based on the original order:
Sherlock Holmes pushed Professor Moriarty off a cliff, and then Moriarty’s criminal associates began hunting Sherlock Holmes to avenge the professor.
Sherlock Holmes, disguised and returned to Baker Street with the help of Watson, plotted and captured Moriarty’s associate.
One year.
Sherlock Holmes’s assistant Watson passed away due to illness.
With the loss of his assistant and close friend, coupled with the decline of energy due to old age, Sherlock Holmes decided to retire to a village to keep bees and live in seclusion.
This part of the plot isn’t very long.
Lin Yuan wrote a third of it that night.
Getting up the next day, he continued writing, finally giving Sherlock Holmes a relatively complete ending before sunset.
After finalizing it, Lin Yuan sent the ending to Jin Mu.

This time Jin Mu was not going to blindly trust Lin Yuan, he first read the finale of the novel with a cautious attitude, then released a heavy sigh of relief.
"Phew."
It certainly seems reliable this time.
The ending of the novel was complete. Holmes’ method of resurrection was also natural, with the logic being very smooth at first:
Feigning death was to evade the pursuit of Moriarty’s associates.
Although Moriarty had died, the dark forces he left behind were powerful, so Holmes had to find a way to eradicate them.
Second, this ending is quite satisfactory.
Sherlock Holmes can finally retire peacefully.
Although Watson dies, it’s acceptable to readers because he dies of illness, not from plot development.
In fact.
If Chu Kuang had written that Sherlock Holmes died of old age, perhaps readers would have accepted it, after all, it is an ending all humans must face.
Having verified that there were no problems, Jin Mu posted it on the Silver Blue Books website.
That night.
Silver Blue Books announced that "The Great Detective Sherlock Holmes" will officially come to an end this month.
While readers naturally felt a sense of regret, none were jumping up and down with dissatisfaction.
Compared to the mutual destruction of Holmes and Moriarty, a regular ending to the novel was more anticipated by everyone.
Readers’ demands of old rascal Chu Kuang are actually not high.
At the same time as "The Great Detective Sherlock Holmes" announced that it would end this month, Xian Yu suddenly released a status update:
"The June new song will pay tribute to Sherlock Holmes in the form of a theme song!"
At this time, the topic of Xian Yu, Chu Kuang, and Sherlock Holmes were closely linked together, so this status update quickly drew the attention of the entire network--
South Xian Yun North Chu Kuang, once again collaborated as great buddies!
Is Xian Yu going to challenge the June seasonal champion with the Sherlock Holmes novel theme song?
