Chapter 60



Lin Xin's second single entered the weekly chart at number three, and shot to number one in the second week. The media reports were all gloating, commenting on Lin Xin's data every day, and wondering how many superstars would come out to block the popularity of Lin Xin's single.

A certain crowd, those superstars also started a heated discussion.

Chi Tianyuan: Failed, who’s next?

Hua Yu: I've already said it, if you fight hastily you'll definitely lose.

Chi Tianyuan: Hum, did I lose in terms of song quality? I lost in terms of freshness QAQ, I am not willing to accept this.

Xi Xinghe: There is nothing we can do about it. We have been singing for so many years. It is time for a newcomer to appear.

He Le: However, this newcomer is not a singer.

Everyone was silent.

If this person wasn't an actor, would they be so stingy? It's only because he's an actor that they don't consider themselves bullying.

Hua Yu: I told you to stop making a fuss at the beginning. So what if he's an actor? Isn't he Chinese? Does he have any moral flaws? Even if he wins an award, it doesn't matter. We are not the ones who are embarrassed.

Chi Tianyuan: QAQ I don’t care, I’ve already gone, you guys have to go too. I can’t be the only one to lose face. Otherwise, we’ll break off our friendship!

Everyone fell silent again.

Hua Yu: Then let’s have a chorus.

Everyone: ...You are too shameless! This is an unfair victory!

Hua Yu: Later I will vote for Lin Xin for the Golden Melody Best Single Award.

Everyone: ...

Hua Yu: Every time we take turns to win the award, even if you guys are not tired of it, I am tired of it, I don’t want this trophy anymore. You can take it or not.

Everyone: ...

Chi Tianyuan: QAQ In fact, if you seriously release a song you will definitely be able to surpass his.

Hele: Then why don’t you release a serious song? Why do you have to release a remake of an old song?

Chi Tianyuan: I’m lazy and have no inspiration recently.

Everyone: What are you talking about! Aren’t you just giving yourself away?

Chi Tianyuan: Wasn't this just for fun? Who knew the media would over-interpret it?

Everyone: Get lost!

So this group of superstars in the Chinese music scene released a new song together. The new song was the national anthem of China. It instantly dominated the major charts, and Lin Xin could no longer get the first place.

Lin Xin: ...This group of people is poisonous.

Others: Isn’t he sick?

In short, the "encirclement and suppression" scenario created by the media ended with a national anthem. The singers with relatively high status in the Chinese music scene all withdrew from the encirclement and suppression, but many second-tier or new singers continued to "clash" with Lin Xin. Maybe they were really angry, or maybe they were just trying to gain popularity from the "encirclement and suppression". Anyway, the Chinese music scene has been very lively recently, so lively that people from other countries have known about it.

China is actually not opposed to celebrities crossing over into other circles, as can be seen from the situation of the superstar (funny) group. But abroad, this rejection is more serious.

As a result, the attitude abroad towards Lin Xin's songs dominating the music charts was even more intense than that of China itself. Some foreign singers even released songs in advance to join in the blockade of Lin Xin.

The list is not just for China, but also for the world. Lin Xin's songs also have very good data on music websites in other countries.

Music has no nationality. As long as it sounds good, everyone will pay for it. Even if you don’t understand the lyrics, you can still feel the beauty of the melody.

Lin Xin could only hold his forehead in his hand. Why did these people come to join in the fun?

However, this also greatly increased the fame of Lin Xin's song. Since others regarded him as a rival, the fans of those people would definitely want to listen to and see how good this song is.

As a result, Lin Xin's two singles also became popular abroad. Chinese is the most widely used language in the world today, so many young people know Chinese. Even if they can't hear it, they can still understand it by looking at the lyrics. After reading the lyrics, they couldn't help but make the same sound as the Chinese fans, and their sighs were even louder.

Even before they understood the lyrics, they had already felt the emotions that Lin Xin wanted to express. What does this mean? It means that Lin Xin's songs are really good.

With such widespread popularity, Lin Xin's third single "I'm Fine, Want to See You" naturally gained enough popularity as soon as it was released.

The last song is very cheerful from the tune to Lin Xin's singing voice. You can even hear that Lin Xin is singing this song with a smile. Lin Xin sings about some very happy things he has encountered and some beautiful scenery he has seen. Lin Xin sings that he is doing well now, and you can also hear from the song that Lin Xin has walked out of sadness and emptiness.

Whenever he sang about his happiness, Lin Xin would always add, "I just miss you a little bit."

I'm fine, but I miss you a little. That's my only regret.

"I miss you", "I want to see you", "I want to taste these happiness with you"... As the audience listened, tears flowed unconsciously with smiles on their faces.

There is a kind of sadness called warmth to sadness.

Lin Xin's songs are different from most love songs about parting or losing love. In the end, he did not stay in the heart-wrenching sadness, nor did he maintain a desperate and unable to extricate himself from the emotions. He was very strong and walked out of the sadness. Life goes on, and there will not be only one "ta" in life. There are many happy things in the world.

It's just a bit regrettable.

People, if you lose this love, you can always find the next one. Even if you don’t feel like falling in love anymore, you still have family and friends. Even if you have nothing, you still have yourself to love.

For optimistic people, there are no hurdles in love that cannot be overcome.

Even as I was laughing, I still felt a little regretful. This regret was not painful, but it still hurt sometimes.

Maybe many people have experienced this, having a deep and unforgettable relationship, but missed it by mistake, and then life goes on, and there are other people around. But sometimes I still think about it inexplicably, and I don’t know how I feel now that the person I was with is still by my side.

It’s not that I’m dissatisfied with the present, nor am I cheating on my husband or anything, I just miss it a little bit.

After the longing, I will cherish my present happiness and the people around me even more.

Lin Xin's three songs form a cycle. One is about forcing a smile and thinking about something, and then not wanting to think about it anymore, as if the soul is empty and one has no energy to do anything. The last one is about walking out and welcoming a new life.

Fans jokingly said that Lin Xin's three songs are specially sung for people who have been heartbroken, and are very suitable for psychological treatment for people who have been heartbroken. Playing these three songs over and over again, it seems that the mood also changes with these three songs, and finally walks out of that sad relationship.

Lin Xin did not state in the song that this was love, you can also understand it as other emotions: relatives who have passed away, friends who are no longer in touch, or even a stranger who once gave you warmth but you have no intersection with him.

"People who like to listen to these three songs probably have regrets and missed opportunities, whether it's love, family, friendship, or nothing at all, just a beautiful memory of a chance encounter. There is no banquet that will last forever in life, and joys and sorrows are always a circle that cannot be broken or escaped. In the cycle, we can only put all our emotions in order and face tomorrow with a smile. Although regrets are regrets, there are still many beautiful things waiting for us, right? Although... it's still a regret..."

A famous music critic wrote this on his Facebook, and it became the official introduction for many media outlets to comment on Lin Xin's three singles.

Lin Xin's high popularity and good reputation also earned her a nomination for the Best Single at the Golden Melody Awards.

The Golden Melody Awards jury held many meetings to decide which nominations Lin Xin should receive. Some said that although Lin Xin has been in the industry for many years, he is still a new singer and his career in the music industry should start with releasing singles, so he should be nominated for the Best Newcomer award.

Some judges believe that the Chinese entertainment industry has not been divided. In history, there have been actors who have won the best single, best album, and even the best singer award, but newcomers still mainly debut. With Lin Xin's performance this year, if he is nominated for the best newcomer award, he will definitely get it. But it always feels a bit ridiculous to give the newcomer award to an international film emperor and a veteran in the entertainment industry (Lin Xin: Old?).

The judges argued back and forth, but finally gave in. Lin Xin was not nominated for Best Newcomer, but was nominated for Best Male Singer.

But the "Best Male Singer" award was definitely not given to Lin Xin. In the first half of the year, a king-level star just released a new album, but when Lin Xin released the single, the popularity of that star's album had passed, so the two did not collide.

It’s unrealistic for Lin Xin to become the king of singers just after releasing a single.

However, the jury decided to award the "Best Single Award" to Lin Xin.

Lin Xin's three songs are outstanding in the music industry in terms of popularity and quality. If Lin Xin did not receive any award, it would be a clear sign of bullying.

The singers’ group efforts to stop Lin Xin were unsuccessful, and it took the superstars to sing the national anthem (funny face) to knock Lin Xin off the top of the popularity list. If Lin Xin didn’t get the “Best Single Award”, no one else would be able to convince the public.

As for the singer who won the title of this year's King of Singers, although his album was of high quality, there were no particularly outstanding songs, and there was no major breakthrough in his singing skills. He just released an album as usual, and no one expected a dark horse to emerge.

The old predecessors have dominated the Chinese music scene for a long time. Not only are the newcomers not motivated, but the predecessors have also become a little slack.

Now it seems that letting Lin Xin win the Best Single Award is also a warning and encouragement to them.

"It would be great if Lin Xin could focus on the music industry in the future." A judge said, "China has not had any singers who are particularly outstanding internationally in recent years. Although those singers can still sing for more than ten years, or even decades, it is still unsettling that there are no powerful newcomers to take over."

"Yeah, there are a lot of newcomers in the film and television industry anyway, and Lin Xin has also won the Best Actor award, so it's good for him to develop in the pop music industry." Another judge also nodded, "Being a singing king is no worse than being a Best Actor."

Hu Bailing said: "In fact, Lin Xin's talent lies in acting. When he first started recording these three songs, he had nothing but singing skills. In terms of emotional expression, he was not as good as street singers. But I asked him to treat it as acting, and after he got into the role, he sang very well."

"There is such a thing? So magical?" a judge asked curiously.

"It's really amazing when an actor gets into a role," said Hu Bailing. "He suddenly squatted on the ground and cried. I was shocked. It was like he had changed his personality."

"Hahahaha, it sounds like this. I'm looking forward to his future songs even more. Will he be able to sing again in the future?"

Hu Bailing smiled and said, "Yes, he said he hopes to release at least one song a year. At least one song every two years. To be honest, if he can do that, he will be much more diligent than some lazy people."

"That's not true. They release an album every two or three years, and there's more than one song in the album..."

The judges talked about the gossips about the singers and some interesting things they encountered when they were their music producers or supervisors. For these veteran artists, even the most popular superstars in the pop music scene are the younger generations they watched grow up and they have high hopes for them just like their own sons and grandsons.

The longevity of Chinese music is probably inseparable from the somewhat strict love these old artists have for their younger generations. What do you mean? Is this what we call passing on the torch?

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Lin Xin received two nominations at the Golden Melody Awards for Best Single and Best Male Singer, which not only shocked the music industry, but also the film and television industry.

We have seen another powerful cross-border star, and it seems like we are about to witness the birth of a phenomenal star.

The so-called phenomenal stars represent an era. Their resumes and their existence are monuments to the entertainment industry culture of that era. They are like landmarks in this period of history. When talking about their lives, all the major events in the entertainment industry during this period are condensed.

They themselves are history.

At a certain stage, there are many movie kings and queens, but not every movie king and queen can become a phenomenal star. They will not only climb to the top, but also hover at the top for a long time, and even become evergreens. When they exist, other stars can only look up to them and dare not talk about surpassing them.

For the stars of the same period, this was probably a tragedy, but for the fans of that era, it was a feast.

Lin Xin has now begun to take shape as a phenomenal star, and he has had an extremely good start.

But whether he can continue on this path in the end will be confirmed by his career in the entertainment industry for several years, dozens of years, or even decades. There are too many stars in history who are as fleeting as shooting stars.

No one can say for sure whether Lin Xin will become another "regret" that will forever hurt the hearts of many movie and music fans.

But now, Lin Xin’s fans are very happy to see their idol working so hard and being so awesome.

They watched Lin Xin grow up step by step, from a young actor who was a substitute and was blackmailed, to a mature man who has been nominated for the top ten sexiest men, just like watching their own child grow up gradually.

Back then, they were worried that Lin Xin would become a mathematician, and if they wanted to be fans of Lin Xin and buy peripherals, they had to buy math books. Now, Lin Xin is already a mathematician, and he is also a movie star, and he has been nominated for the Golden Melody Award for Best Singer.

Even though fans all know that Lin Xin will only be nominated for the King of Singers, but, "this nomination is enough for us to brag about for the rest of our lives, hahahahaha".

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

When Lin Xin was nominated for the Golden Melody Award, Mr. Linde was released and became a global sensation.

Lin Xin attended the premiere, which was held in London and was attended by major London media. The premiere alone made Mr. Linde overshadow all the recent movies released in the UK.

Who made "Mr. Linde" the first time that a national IP was adapted into a big screen, and who made "Mr. Linde" starring three international film emperors?

Moore, Lin Xin and Kaili are all regional spokespeople for international first-tier luxury menswear brands. The three of them made a collective appearance wearing high-end suits specially made for them by tailors of the brands they endorsed, killing countless films.

The media crazily commented on every fashion element of these three male stars who have appeared on the covers of famous fashion magazines, not to mention their clothes, shoes and accessories, even their styled hair was not spared.

Kaili is still the same British gentleman as always, with an abstinent look, which makes a group of wolf men and women want to strip off his tightly wrapped tuxedo; Moore is a human hormone walking machine, his whole body embodies unruly and unrestrained. Every look seems to be sending electric shocks to the people around him, making people scream; and every element of Lin Xin interprets "clean", "pure", and "innocent of the world". Even the serious expression on his face reveals a hint of innocence, like an angel who has landed on the earth and has not yet been stained by human misunderstandings. Even though everyone knows that he has extremely powerful strength and physique, they just can't help but feel pity for him... and can't help but want to stain him black.

Three movie kings, three old and new favorites of the fashion industry, three different styles of sexiness, but all sexy, so sexy that the fans’ screams were about to blow the roof off the theater where the premiere was held, and some fans couldn’t help but faint.

When these three people walk together, their impact is more than just the sum of one plus one.

"That scream..." Kaili sighed while holding the microphone, and said, "It must be Moore's fault."

Moore winked and said, "This is your territory, so it's you who are responsible for most of the mistakes, right? Right, Xiaoxin?"

Lin Xin also blinked, but his blink was not to flirt, but to show a cute aura: "It has nothing to do with me anyway, you two can do whatever you want."

Kyrie and Moore said in unison: "It has nothing to do with you? Didn't you see how many Chinese people were screaming among the fans?"

Lin Xin thought for a moment and said, "I know. I can calculate the specific ratio, so that's why I said that. Do you need me to tell you the calculation process and results?"

Carey and Moore shook their heads at the same time and continued in unison: "Forget it, forget your occupational disease as a mathematician."

The fans and media below burst into laughter.

Lin Xin's innocent face, fans screaming, new emoticons are here! Lin Xiaoxin is indeed a walking emoticon pack!

Lin Xin, you must be very tired to have such a group of (black) fans.

Lin Xin: Not only do I not feel tired, I even feel happy when I see my achievement points rising so fast.

After the atmosphere became lively, the director and representatives of the producer and distributor each said a few words, and then began to answer questions from reporters.

This is Kaili's territory, so naturally the British reporters asked Kaili the most questions.

Kaili is already very familiar with this, even if some of the British reporters are very difficult to deal with, he can answer them with ease. When it comes to personal questions, he just says "this is **" and "I don't want to talk about **" to evade them.

As for Moore, he answered questions in a different way. He answered whatever the reporter asked, and seemed very calm, which made the reporter feel bored. If the person involved is too calm, even if it involves a sex scandal, it is not very interesting. Society is quite tolerant of men's love life. Moore is not a marriage fraud, nor is he a multiple-romantic person. Even if he has changed many beautiful girlfriends, it does not involve moral issues. It can only be said that he is charming.

When it was finally Lin Xin's turn, some reporters asked him rudely why he wanted to sue the media. Was this a violation of freedom of speech?

Lin Xin was surprised and said: "I sued according to the law. Doesn't the UK have laws that allow suing false media?"

Reporter: "..." This... seems... How to answer? Of course there is.

Lin Xin: "Everything should be done according to the law. The law is definitely fair. Let's see how the court decides."

Reporter: "..." You've been talking so much, why don't you fall for it? You look so innocent, why do you answer questions so wisely?

This reporter retreated, and the next reporter rushed up aggressively, asking him whether it was inappropriate for him to enter the music industry, such a cross-circle behavior, and whether he was dissatisfied with other stars in the music industry.

Lin Xin continued to look surprised: "Every actor in our country can sing. If you don't believe me, just look it up. Even if they are tone-deaf, they have to sing one or two songs. Even if they don't release singles or albums, they will sing at the Spring Festival Gala or other parties. Is this our Chinese tradition? I can't be out of touch."

Reporter: “…Really?”

Lin Xin nodded: "You check it."

Reporter: “…” Lin Xin was so sure, it didn’t seem fake.

Lin Xin blinked. It was true, because famous actors would basically appear on the Spring Festival Gala. In the Spring Festival Gala, they couldn't do anything else except singing. They couldn't act, right? So slightly famous actors would sing.

Reporter: "... Then... How do you feel about being nominated for the Golden Melody Award for Best Singer in China..."

Lin Xin immediately memorized his lines, thanked the audience, thanked his predecessors, and thanked the jury, and he will work harder.

Reporter: "Do you think you will win the prize?"

Lin Xin said firmly: "No."

Reporter: “…” You are so straightforward that I don’t know what to say next.
