Chapter 216 New Album "Below Zero"
Chapter 216
"Today marks the 151st day of missing Xiaolin."
"Where is Lin Yuan? Release his new album soon, and get a new role soon!!!"
"A die-hard fan said that he has already reviewed all of Lin's works, from 'The Powerful Minister,' 'Major Case,' 'Mandala,' and 'Double Edge.' I stand with President Lin."
"Upstairs, Lin Yuan is still alive and well, don't say such dangerous things."
After the promotional period for "Double Edge" ended, Lin Yuan rarely appeared in public, focusing all his energy on the album.
By November, almost all 11 songs for the new album had been recorded.
But for fans, Lin Yuan has been gone for far too long this time.
Of course, Lin Yuan could choose to pause for a while.
Lin Yuan is no longer the boy who was squeezed out of his debut position in "The Rising Star". Even if he doesn't take on any new roles for a year, he is still recognized as a top-tier actor in the industry.
That year, several more "top celebrities" rose to fame in the entertainment industry. Lin Yuan was no longer considered a new generation; he was now a combination of talent, idol status, and "the number one in XX".
If there were similar lists in the entertainment industry, Lin Yuan's name would always be included.
However, his fans still miss him very much.
"Show your voice occasionally." Lin Yuan often receives messages like this.
Then he quietly logged on and made a brief appearance.
If a fan sends a message saying "Squeak!", Lin Yuan will also go online and send a "Squeak!" to prove that he is still alive.
During the time he was fully focused on his album, Lin Yuan received a long list of variety show invitations.
Given his multiple professions, he can participate in a wide variety of variety shows, including music variety shows, acting variety shows, travel variety shows, and emotional variety shows. The latter two types of variety shows usually invite Yu Ying and He Xun as well.
In short, the effect of three people appearing together is always extraordinary.
He Xun has participated in other variety shows. In the words of the audience, when he participated in other variety shows, he was as timid as a quail. But once he met Lin Yuan, He Xun could be noisier than a woodpecker.
In response, Lin Yuan said, "See? You really can't do without me."
He Xun wanted Lin Yuan to stay away from him: "He's incredibly greasy."
Lin Yuan: "...Speak like a human being, thank you. I'm the man who saved your variety show skills."
"Yes, yes, okay, thank you." He Xun was extremely perfunctory. "Hurry up and get to work."
After filming Qin Panyun's movie, He Xun received more movie offers. His latest film required him to go to the desert and eat sand, which tanned his face and made his skin rougher. Therefore, He Xun was quite jealous of Lin Yuan's fair skin.
"Fine skin and tender flesh" is Lin Yuan's own description; He Xun never said that.
"It's just a description, please don't mind it."
In short, He Xun and Yu Ying both disapproved of Lin Yuan's vacation behavior. Although Lin Yuan was clearly recording an album, he would occasionally wander around here and then fly off to other places, which made the two of them very envious.
"We're about to get busy."
The previous album was titled "1895", while this album was named "009" by Lin Yuan. While the previous album title had a rich meaning, Lin Yuan didn't think much about this album title, simply because there was a 9 in his studio's address.
Perhaps it's because... the original owner debuted in 9th place.
He was indeed influenced by the number 9 in his life.
The album, titled "009", contains 11 songs.
The title track is called "Minus One Degree," and the lyrics were also written by Lin Yuan.
Their album is called "Lyric," and one of the title tracks is called "Within Reach," while his...
Although "Minus One Degree" isn't bad, according to his agent, the name makes it easy for Lin Yuan to be lazy, because "Minus Two Degrees" and "Minus Three Degrees" also sound quite artistic.
"It feels like one, two, three, or four in the morning, which is also very artistic."
“You could even take the title ‘7:30 in the Morning,’ that would be fine too.”
Lin Yuan lay back on the sofa: "Numbers, so convenient for cheating."
Lin Yuan had only been lying on the sofa for half a minute when Lingdang quickly jumped up and lay down next to him, not moving at all, just as lazy as Lin Yuan himself.
In the words of her agent, "Like attracts like"—Lingdang was destined to meet Lin Yuan.
To be honest, Bell's current size... can be described as a giant among cats. Lin Yuan sometimes can't help but wonder if the Bell that his manager picked up and the submarine cat he keeps at home are the same creature.
It's like the difference between a small hill and a cat mountain.
Just as Lin Yuan was thinking this, Lingdang suddenly slapped him with her claws.
"Did you speak ill of him?" Feng Zeng asked. "He deserves it."
Lin Yuan: "...May I ask whose agent you are?"
Lingdang is a male cat. After living with Lin Yuan for a while, he underwent a humanitarian surgery. So whenever Lingdang recalls the tragic reality, he slaps Lin Yuan. This slapping has become a habit.
One day, when the manager came to bring food to Lin Yuan, he actually heard Lin Yuan ask in a perverted tone why the cat hadn't slapped him today, and then he hugged the cat and nibbled on it.
Feng Zeng: "..."
Sometimes, he also wants to transform into a cat, because he can do things that cats can't.
That's outrageous. This kind of request will cause great harm to the cat's physical and mental health. Let him do it.
Lin Yuan really needs to be given a good spanking occasionally, but not too much, because his already intellectually disabled brain could become even more demented as a result.
Feng Zeng's visit to Lin Yuan this time was related to the release of "009".
The last time, "1895" did well, and various music platforms are interested in inviting Lin Yuan to join them.
Although fans may not be very familiar with Lin Yuan's movements, various platforms are well aware of them and are constantly in contact with Feng Zeng in an effort to keep track of the latest developments regarding Lin Yuan's new album.
The music platform business is tough these days. Many have gone out of business, and those that are still surviving are basically backed by large companies.
Big-name singers have basically stopped releasing albums. Even if fans are loyal, only a small group of people can keep up with their releases.
The most profitable singers right now are those supported by their fans, but their influence is limited.
The music scene hasn't produced any superstars for a long time. In fact, for a whole year, the songs that become popular are OSTs, and the theme songs are made possible by the popularity of TV dramas.
Lin Yuan is indeed very good at making money. Cooperating with him is a sure thing and you won't lose money. This is a principle that every platform understands.
The conditions offered by each platform are quite generous, mainly in terms of commission. Compared to the time of "1895", Lin Yuan now benefits more.
Lin Yuan and Feng Zeng carefully reviewed the terms and conditions. In essence, the conditions offered by each platform were similar, and Lin Yuan even suspected that they had already negotiated privately.
Qian Linyuan no longer cared.
"You're such a show-off."
"That's really good at pretending."
Every time Lin Yuan acted like this, Yu Ying and He Xun couldn't help but...
They kept criticizing him relentlessly.
But that's the truth.
"There's nothing I can do, I'm just that rich. What can I do? Is it my fault that I'm handsome and rich?"
"Call the police and have him arrested!" Yu Ying was devastated. "How could I possibly know such a greasy person?"
After discussing with his agent, Lin Yuan decided to launch the product on all platforms.
He wanted to hold a concert so that more fans could hear his songs, and this was the best way to do it.
...
After several months, Lin Yuan's Weibo finally had some serious updates—
"Finally open for business! So touching!!!"
"The new album is here!! Looking forward to '009'!!"
"God knows how many times I've listened to '1895'. I'm too lazy to sing Kangaroo's songs at karaoke anymore. I'm so tired of it."
"Who are you? How did you suddenly appear on my homepage?! If you don't show yourself soon, you'll be completely forgotten, you little rat!!"
The villagers have been eagerly awaiting Lin Yuan's new album, and it's finally here!
Lin Yuan's album took even longer to prepare than "1895". Her friends even suspected that Lin Yuan was planning to retire from the industry, but Sang Zi never thought of that.
Although Lin Yuan is a free spirit, he also has his own ambitions.
As a fan, Sang Zi has no regrets about Lin Yuan's current status. The only regret is that Lin Yuan has had too few singing and dancing performances.
This person's participation in "Star Journey" definitely indicates they have the ambition to become a successful idol.
However, his talent as an actor surpasses his talent as an idol, so he can only shine in other fields.
Thinking about it carefully, whether it was Wink who debuted through "Star Road to Tomorrow" or other contestants who didn't debut, everyone on stage talked about their idol dreams.
But how many people can actually do it?
In contrast, Lin Yuan is one of the few who continues to make music and has a stage to perform on.
Of course, we can't blame the contestants. Just look at their posts on Weibo and you'll see that most of the younger fans don't even know about "The Rising Star" anymore and still think Lin Yuan is a professionally trained actor.
Lin Yuan was one of the few who made it through that show; the other contestants had long since disappeared from the entertainment industry.
So there's no need to force it; having songs to listen to is good enough.
They are quite content with their hometown.
With this in mind, Sangzi clicked on "Minus One Degree".
What I heard was a rather gentle piece of music.
Clearly, Lin Yuan has evolved into his complete form, handling everything from songwriting and composing to arrangement, and his skills have become increasingly sophisticated.
If Sang Zi were to describe it, she would say that "Minus One Degree" is a rather refreshing song.
Lin Yuan's voice sounded very gentle, and the melody was also very gentle. Although his voice was not very clear, after the music started, what appeared before Sang Zi's eyes was a dripping roof and an ice surface submerged in water. Unconsciously, she felt a little happy.
Minus one degree is a midpoint. Although water freezes at zero degrees, it doesn't have such a fierce power. It's a bit cold, but not too cold.
Lin Yuan is becoming more and more gentle, like a drop of water.
From the song "Minus One Degree", Sangzi seems to be able to taste the happiness that Lin Yuan experienced.
"Lin Yuan must have been practicing secretly, right?"
"009" has just been released, and there are very few comments under each song yet, but Sangzi saw this comment.
She shared her thoughts, and she also felt that Lin Yuan must have been secretly practicing his singing.
However, Lin Yuan did not abandon his strengths. The emotions in the song "Minus One Degree" are still delicate, like a cup of warm tea in winter.
The melody of "Minus One Degree" is not cloying. Clearly, Lin Yuan did not intentionally create a hit song; it just happened naturally.
Sang Zi listened to the other songs in "009". Although "Minus One Degree" is the main track, it is one of the less pleasant songs on the album.
Lin Yuan, however, chose it as the main product.
After listening to the entire album, she finally realized that this song brought her the most peace of mind. Lin Yuan's singing style was completely unpretentious and didn't make her feel even slightly out of place.
Sangzi's playlist already included other songs from the album "1895", and this time she added "Minus One Degree".
She listens to music very slowly.
While Sangzi was still praising how nice "Minus One Degree" was, her fans had already moved on to another level—
The top comment on Lin Yuan's Weibo post is as follows:
"We've got enough songs, when are we going to have a concert?"
Sang Zi: "..."
Although this is indeed what she truly felt, isn't it a bit too fast?
Sharing the burden of good cattle! !
Actually, she also wanted to hear "Below Zero" live. If Lin Yuan sang it with such a gentle voice, she would definitely want to cry.
"So when exactly will the concert be held?"
Sang Zi couldn't help but join in urging them on.
This time, Lin Yuan didn't ignore it and replied with three words, "Next year."
There will be a concert next year!!
Sangzi's mood suddenly brightened.
