28 Chapter 28

Chaos

Ever since the blogger named [Xuan Xuan Shuo Shi] suddenly appeared, many netizens and artists have been paying attention to Lingman Entertainment.

In particular, his routine imitated the previous business blogger [Xuan Ran Shuo Shi], and he also made a prediction at the end, saying that the era of Lingman Entertainment will eventually pass and will be replaced by Apocalypse Media.

People couldn't tell whether what he said was meaningful or whether he was bribed by Apocalypse Media and was promoting it behind the scenes.

In short, because of that hot search, people both related and unrelated had the same understanding, that is, Lingman Entertainment was about to collapse.

On the day his contract with Lingman Entertainment expired, Hu Fei held a press conference to announce that he had terminated the contract and would temporarily leave the entertainment industry.

The online voices criticizing Lingman suddenly reached a peak.

As a top-tier celebrity, Hu Fei has tens of millions of followers on Weibo.

Although she began to fade out more than half a year in advance, the momentum she created after she actually proposed to quit the circle was extremely huge.

Countless fans left messages in her press conference, begging her to stay, but unfortunately they could not influence Hu Fei's decision.

As fans' emotions grew higher and higher, conspiracy theories suddenly appeared in the comments.

"Sister, you're doing well in the industry, why did you have to leave?! Didn't Lingman Entertainment keep you?"

I asked my brother-in-law on Weibo, and he clearly said he didn't ask my sister to quit. It was my sister's own decision! Why didn't Lingman Entertainment keep my sister?

[Lingman Entertainment is clearly willing to fight against Pei Yuanzhi and the Liu family for Zhang Li, but they are unwilling to spend any time on us Feifei? ]

I have another question. Last time, the media reported that my sister threw a cup at the Lingman CEO. Everyone knows that my sister is such a well-mannered person, so why did she lose control like that? What exactly did Lingman Entertainment do to my sister?! ...

With the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, speculation that Lingman Entertainment might have done something bad to Hu Fei became rampant.

Many irrational fans even went so far as to make trouble on Lingman Entertainment’s official Weibo account.

Lingman Entertainment's official Weibo account, which usually responds promptly, has yet to respond.

Just when everyone thought that the other party was guilty and didn't know how to answer, they didn't know that Lingman Entertainment had no intention of paying attention to these things at the moment.

Early in the morning, Yu Feiyu asked the administration to tag everyone in the company group, announcing that Chen Xiaodong was about to release a new song and asking everyone to pay more attention.

In addition, Chen Xiaodong himself had been warming up on Weibo for a long time.

Although Lingman Entertainment was not making a desperate bet at this time, it also had high hopes for Chen Xiaodong's new song and had already bribed major marketing accounts early on.

The time for the ranking was set on the day when Hu Fei held the press conference, at noon, when most people were taking a break and having lunch.

According to Lingman's request, the marketing account had already prepared countless exaggerated "compliments".

Things like [Heavenly music! Absolutely heavenly music!], [Superb sound, unparalleled in the domestic entertainment industry!], [This song will definitely cause a huge earthquake in the domestic entertainment industry!] and so on and so forth.

They felt a little guilty after reading those adjectives. After all, they had never even heard of them. They just accepted the money, so naturally they had to follow the other party's rules.

Originally, they thought that readers might be disappointed after reading the marketing posts, which would slightly affect the credibility of their accounts. So after sending out all the posts at once within the specified time, those marketing accounts basically closed the pages and dared not look at them again.

The boasts they made were so huge that they aroused the curiosity of many netizens.

In addition, noon is the most leisurely time, and netizens were free anyway, so they followed each other's instructions and went to listen to it.

Netizens also thought that if they were too disappointed after listening to it, they would definitely come back and criticize these accounts to pieces.

But neither side expected that after they actually clicked on it, their thoughts would be completely turned around!

The name of "Li Ge" seems unremarkable, probably taken from a Han Dynasty poem. After the audition started, everyone only listened to the prelude and felt that it seemed to be no different from other songs in the domestic entertainment industry.

When Chen Xiaodong's voice came out during the main song, netizens finally found it interesting.

Chen Xiaodong's voice is very recognizable, and he went through a long period of lows before signing with Lingman. After incorporating his mood into the song, the sense of story came out all at once, attracting netizens who couldn't help but listen to it.

To everyone's surprise, in less than a minute, the song seemed to be struggling to reach its climax. After twenty seconds of stretching, the key part came!

After hearing this, almost everyone was immersed in it, and even the interlude in the middle could be heard to have a different flavor.

When the main song sounded for the second time, netizens could even imagine the scenes of the story. When the climax of the chorus came, everyone got goosebumps.

The story-telling voice, mixed with the intense accompaniment and the feeling of breaking through everything, makes your adrenaline surge.

When the song came to the end, everyone felt a sense of melancholy and a feeling of wanting more.

This feeling prompted many people to listen to it again and again, and after listening to it countless times, their emotions reached a peak...

-

More than ten minutes after posting the message, the marketing account couldn't help but click into the backstage to see how fiercely netizens were cursing.

Then I looked at it and saw that there weren't even any comments. Just a few comments like "Stay tuned" and "Wait for me to listen."

The marketing account was confused. He kept refreshing the account in disbelief, but the result was still the same. Moreover, the background of almost every account was cold and indifferent.

Just when he thought he was being restricted, a comment with a sense of life finally appeared!

[Fuck fuck fuck fuck!!! This is so awesome!!! How did you find this song?! It gave me goosebumps! I've listened to it on repeat several times. If my boss hadn't called me to work overtime, I would have listened to it again! If you find a song like this again, I'll definitely share it. Keep an eye on it!]

The marketing account that originally thought it was going to be scolded was completely confused.

After realizing what was happening, he couldn't help but wonder, could this be a hire hired by Lingman Entertainment?

However, the following comments section completely overturned his idea.

After the first comment full of praise appeared, the following comments popped up like crazy.

[WOC! This song is going to be a hit!!]

[Is Chen Xiaodong really that strong?! That’s amazing! !]

I originally wanted to go and slap the poster's exaggerated description, but I couldn't get over it for ages! The amplified sound was so shocking, it was incredible!

[I declare that from today on, I will officially become a fan of Chen Xiaodong! ]

[What the poster said is actually true. This song will definitely cause a huge earthquake in the domestic entertainment industry! ]

There were also rational netizens who responded.

[I don’t know if the earthquake will happen. Although this song is not my cup of tea, I can tell from listening that it can really beat many current popular singers.]

[It’s okay, I’ve included it in my playlist. I hope the blogger will recommend more in the future…]

The screen full of praise made the marketing accounts more and more confused.

In order to clear up his doubts, he even clicked on Lingman's website to listen to it himself.

And then, nothing happened.

The marketing account itself was also caught up in it. Immersed in the world of music, he didn't know that the number of reposts of his posts was increasing sharply.

-

Apart from Lingman and his fans, almost no one paid attention to Chen Xiaodong's release of a new song.

So when it was first released, the first people to rush to listen to it were his few die-hard fans.

His status is said to be quasi-second-tier, but in fact he is still quite a distance away from the second-tier. We can guess this from the description of him on the Internet - "a powerful, very unpopular singer."

But the label of "unpopular" will soon disappear from his world.

It is very similar to the situation encountered by marketing accounts. Although Chen Xiaodong feels that this song may bring him into a new realm, he is not sure whether it is an illusion.

After the song was released, he and his agent frequently used their mobile phones to check the Weibo backend and online reviews.

It only took about ten minutes to wait, which was enough time for people to listen to the song twice, but no one commented in his Weibo comment section.

Just when he felt like he was poured with a bucket of cold water, the assistant exclaimed.

"Oh my god! Brother Dong! Number of clicks!!"

Chen Xiaodong and his agent rushed over and saw that the number of clicks on the song started to soar after a relatively slow rise!

It’s really skyrocketing!

That data jump is really shocking.

"Quick! Check the comments section."

The assistant and Chen Xiaodong both thought they were being talked about, so one went to check the background of the computer and the other went to check the background of Weibo on the mobile phone.

Then something happened that made them gasp.

The comments on the song platform exploded, filled with endless praise.

Chen Xiaodong's Weibo, which had been quiet for a long time, seemed to be buzzing with activity. Not only did his number of fans begin to increase, but a large number of old and new fans also flocked to the Weibo posts promoting his new song.

[Ahhhhhhh! Brother Dong! You will always be my God! It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful!!]

[Brother! I have a feeling! You're going to be famous! You're definitely going to be famous!]

"I told you, with your strength, it's only a matter of time before you become famous! We've finally been waiting for this day!"

【Dong Ge, I love you!!】

[Do you know how many times I listened to it before I could finally stop?!]

[I found your Weibo account. Why do you only have so few followers? This shouldn't be the case.]

I listened to your new song and it's so talented! I'm following you. Before I get tired of it, I suggest you release an album soon...

Seeing the surge in likes and comments, Chen Xiaodong's heart finally settled down.

-

Lingman has been paying close attention to Chen Xiaodong's new song. Seeing that it is indeed showing signs of becoming a big hit, Yu Feiyu hurriedly asked the public relations team to increase publicity efforts.

Just one hour later, Chen Xiaodong and the name of his new song appeared at the end of Weibo's hot search list.

#Who knows the value of Chen Xiaodong's song? #

As time went by, the popularity of this entry grew and soon it climbed to the top of the list.

After an afternoon of preparation, the entry finally made it to the first page.

As the normal working hours of six o'clock approached, its popularity exploded.

[Chen Xiaodong's new song is this difficult, no one else can compare! ]

[I've heard of this singer before. He's talented, but he just needed an opportunity. Now that opportunity has arrived!]

[It's really awesome! I've already started promoting it online! ]

[Oh my god, that feeling, I can't describe it in words. I feel like this song will make Chen Xiaodong happy for the rest of his life!]

[Is it possible that the heavens are helping Lingman Entertainment? So many people have left, and everyone is waiting to see their downfall, but then a dark horse emerges...]

But smart people have already discovered the clues.

Based on the music release information, they found the lyricist and composer of "Li Ge", but discovered that the other party had no name attached, but was just registered under the name of a studio they had never heard of.

Past Studio.

The name was chosen very casually, perhaps it was created by someone who raised funds behind the scenes and did not want to be in the spotlight.

Many people were also curious about who was behind the scenes, so they specifically searched for the legal person of the studio.

However, the search results surprised them, and then they suddenly realized.

-

Liu Shuyi and Pei Yuanzhi didn't realize at first who Chen Xiaodong was on the hot search.

As a result, after Tianqi’s public relations team finished their investigation, they discovered that Chen Xiaodong was actually one of the three artists from Lingman Entertainment that they had not poached!

This made the two men extremely angry. They called Chen Zhensheng over and started scolding him.

When Chen Zhensheng figured out what was going on, he couldn't help but feel resentful. He remembered that it was these two who decided to give up, so why was he the one being blamed?

Unfortunately, Liu Shuyi and Pei Yuanzhi don’t think it’s their fault.

After scolding Chen Zhensheng, the two mentioned more crucial matters.

"If Chen Xiaodong's creative talent is really that good, he would have been famous a long time ago. Go check who is the composer behind the song."

Chen Zhensheng could only respond with "yes".

At the same time, more people noticed Chen Xiaodong's sudden popularity.

When Su Yi left Lingman, he did so with a self-important and ambitious mindset.

When Chen Zhensheng and others were still shareholders of Lingman, Su Yi had always liked to "perform", simply wanting to be supported by the company.

It's not that Lingman hasn't supported him before. In fact, because he knows how to "get along with people", he has many more resources than Chen Xiaodong. However, there is a popular saying in the domestic entertainment industry - small fame depends on support, big fame depends on luck.

Despite investing so many resources, Su Yi ended up only being in the second tier.

Su Yi's vocal conditions are not bad, but it's a pity that he didn't meet the lyrics and music that matched him perfectly.

He felt that Lingman Entertainment was blocking his future, so he resolutely persuaded Zhao Peng and Zhou Min to come to Tianqi Media.

I thought that after coming here, the sea would be wide enough for fish to jump and the sky would be high enough for birds to fly.

In fact, because of his encounter, he was indeed highly regarded by Chen Zhensheng.

The other party has already asked the team behind the little queen Li Ruoxi to tailor an album for him, hoping to push him to the top in one fell swoop.

What he didn't expect was that before his album was released, Chen Xiaodong, whom he had never taken seriously before, had already appeared on the hot search.

His eyes were full of disbelief, and then he found Chen Xiaodong's new song.

Before listening to it, he arrogantly thought that Chen Xiaodong's popularity was just forced, but after listening to it, he was left with only shock and jealousy.

“Why?!…Why?!!”

Su Yi threw the computer away, shocking the agent next to him.

-

An Xi and Bai Qianyu also quickly noticed this.

An Xi is an actress, she doesn't care about these things.

But Bai Qianyu is different. Like Su Yi, she is one of those singers who has never become completely popular despite being supported by Lingman.

Before leaving Lingman, with her and Su Yi around, Chen Xiaodong had to retreat all the time.

As a result, she had only been away from Lingman for a few days, but Chen Xiaodong already had such an amazing masterpiece!

She just couldn't let it go.

"This song is definitely not produced by Lingman!"

"absolute!"

-

Who was it that, at such a crucial moment, single-handedly propelled Chen Xiaodong to prominence? And who brought a turnaround to the crisis-ridden Lingman Entertainment?

Many people outside are investigating.

Zhang Li, the man behind the scenes, informed the head of the studio and announced the news nakedly under everyone's noses.

[Past Studio v: @陈晓冬 This is the first song produced by this studio. A good song needs to meet the right person to complement it. Happy working with you!]

This Weibo post was quickly forwarded by Chen Xiaodong at the fastest speed.

[Chen Xiaodong V: It is truly an honor to be able to cooperate with your studio! ! // Past Studio V: ...]

Now, everyone who was paying attention suddenly understood.

It turns out that there is a master helping behind the scenes!

But new problems arise.

Where did this studio come from?! Why have I never heard of it before? Why is it that their first hit is such a phenomenal hit?

More people checked the background of the studio, and then naturally found the source of the case to Wancheng Private Equity Fund.

Netizens finally understood what was going on!

[Wow! This studio is wholly owned by Wancheng Private Equity Fund, the same fund that invested in Lingman Entertainment. Turns out they're all family!]

I think I understand what's going on! I see this studio was registered over half a month ago. Could it be that Wancheng did this on purpose? He's waiting for some treacherous artists to be poached by Tianqi, so he can focus on promoting the loyal ones who remain!

[Upstairs on the grass floor...]

After being exposed by netizens, Zhang Li's plan was finally laid out in front of everyone. Of course, others still didn't know that the person behind Wan Cheng was actually her.

Just the surface of this discovery is enough to make many netizens talk about it!

[Oh my god! This boss Wancheng is a bit treacherous! ]

[Wouldn't those artists who left Lingman be regretting it like crazy?! Especially Su Yi and Bai Qianyu. Bai Qianyu is fine, but if Su Yi hadn't left, wouldn't Lingman's resources have been prioritized for him given his status? Hiss...]

[Missed billions... But when I think about these people, stabbing my old employer in the back when it was most critical, I feel like they deserved it...]

These comments quickly caught the attention of the very people they were discussing.

The truth was finally revealed. After Su Yi was shocked, what spread out was not regret, but endless anger.

"Damn it!! Yu Feiyu and Cheng Yu, these two bitches! The company clearly has turned around and they didn't even tell us!" This song should have been his!

-

Bai Qianyu also saw the truth, but her mind was more delicate. When she saw the words "Bai Qianyu is fine", she inexplicably had a bad premonition in her heart.

As expected, while the popularity was high, the Past Studio tagged the remaining two members of Lingman, Zou Yanyan and Wang Ting, in a teasing manner.

[Past Studio v: @Zou Yanyan @Wang Ting are from the same group, you guys should take over the baton!]

The two responded immediately.

[Zou Yanyan v: Okay! //@Past History Studio v: ...]

[Wang Ting v: Coming soon! //@Zou Yanyan v: ...]

Chen Xiaodong even took part in the event himself and used his own popularity to motivate them.

[Chen Xiaodong v: Let’s go solo~//Wang Ting v:…]

Other artists from Lingman Entertainment also left the stage.

For a while, the Internet seemed to be caught in a carnival of spiritual comic artists.

-

Just when Liu Shuyi and Pei Yuanzhi learned that it was Wan Cheng's doing and began to look for new ways to suppress him in anger, Lingman once again dropped two "bombs" on the music scene.

Wang Ting's song "Later", with its distinctive voice, soulful lyrics, and the helplessness and regret it carries, resonated with countless listeners, and its popularity soared.

Zou Yanyan, who is naturally suited to the sweet style, directly touched the hearts of countless people and gained countless fans with her MV of "Love You", which is absolutely a first love song.

On the other hand, Bai Qianyu, Su Yi and others who jumped to Apocalypse Media seemed to have become marginal figures in the domestic entertainment industry during this period.

Everyone knows that Lingman Entertainment has indeed made a comeback this time!

But in a place that no one noticed, Liu Shuyi and Pei Yuanzhi were secretly accumulating their ultimate moves.

This world was very similar to Zhang Li's previous life, but due to the novel's setting, there were also many significant differences. For example, in this world, Chinese entertainment was still simply stuck in the stage of domestic artists competing with each other. Korean culture, which should have invaded long ago, was still confined to its homeland.

In the novel, South Korea is also beginning to make moves at this time, looking for an opportunity.

According to the plot of the original book, it should have happened a little later, because the rival of Yichang Media, Suo Yun Entertainment, which is also a leading media company, had its top brother and sister suddenly had an accident and had to withdraw from the entertainment industry forever. Suo Yun, who had lost his pillar, got to know the bigwigs in the Korean entertainment industry through someone, and specially introduced many Korean artists and groups from there to form a strong impact on the Chinese domestic entertainment industry, hoping to defeat Yichang Media and dominate the market.

Later, with the help of the Liu family and Pei Yuanzhi, the heroine established a high position in the domestic entertainment industry, crushed the conspiracy of Suo Yun Entertainment, and started the ban on baseball in China.

Zhang Li was completely unaware that because of her changes, all the plots began to become chaotic.

-

Liu Shuyi and Pei Yuanzhi originally thought that Lingman would not be able to last long, but who knew that a studio would bring it back to life.

The sudden rise of Chen Xiaodong, Zou Yanyan and Wang Ting made them realize that ordinary plans might not be able to help them defeat Zhang Li as they wished.

At this moment, someone they didn't expect came to their door.
