Chapter 112 I Really Didn’t Mean to Show Off (Two in One)
System reward obtained.
Does it mean that the sales of "Jinghong" has surpassed "New Generation"?
Is this true or false?
Lin Zhixing put down the takeaway flyer and moved the mouse to open the Penguin Music album sales chart.
The best-selling album "Feng Ming" ranked first, with sales of 1.05 million copies.
The second on the sales list is "Jinghong", with sales of 600,000 copies.
The third on the sales list is "New Generation", with sales of 590,000 copies.
He rubbed his eyes and felt very unbelievable after confirming that he was not mistaken.
How did "Jinghong", which was at the bottom, overtake? Did the short video work? Xiao Dong said last night that the number of views was average! Also, what happened to my album? It was far behind last night, how did it suddenly overtake so much? Is there a big brother? Lin Zhixing shouted: "Xiao Dong, Xiao Ji, you two look at the album sales rankings."
"Oh, okay."
Dong Chen put down the work in his hands, took out his mobile phone and opened the Penguin Music platform. After taking a glance, he widened his eyes and screamed.
"What's wrong?"
Ji Yu was startled and looked up in confusion. When she saw the ranking information on the screen, she covered her mouth and screamed.
"How could it be!"
"How could our album be better than Sunshine Boys!"
Both of them were in disbelief, their chests heaving with excitement. After taking a moment to rest, they immediately opened the short video platform.
I opened my personal center and found that the number of views of the works there was not that high.
"That's weird, my stats are average, how about you, babe?"
Dong Chen put down his phone and turned to ask Ji Yu.
"Wait, let me change the account and take a look."
Ji Yuqi also felt very strange when he was looking at his personal account. His data was also very average. It was not until he saw a message from a friend in the private message that he suddenly realized it.
It turned out that a video that was commissioned by a friend to post went viral. The content was "A list of 50 beauties in ancient costumes in film and television dramas", and the number of likes was close to two million.
The number of users who like short videos is small. Some people use the column of videos they have liked as favorites. According to statistics, the number of short video views is about ten times the number of likes.
In other words, 20 million people have watched this video, and it is entirely possible for 20 million people to direct hundreds of thousands of purchases.
“This video is so clever. It can retain many users due to curiosity, which is equivalent to listening to the song for a long time!!!”
Ji Yu gave a thumbs up in his heart and learned something new about the creation of short videos.
“I’ll go!”
Dong Chen was browsing short videos when he accidentally saw a video of a young lady in Hanfu using "A Glimpse of Beauty" as background music. He clicked on the music column and was surprised to find that many people used this music as background music.
There are clips from ancient costume TV dramas, dance classes performing Western dances, landscape videos, etc.
All signs indicate that this song is very popular with the public.
The other side.
Lin Zhixing was looking through the comments on "A Glimpse of Beauty". He wanted to find out the reason for the surge in album sales in the comment section.
He skipped over all the positive reviews about the song.
One of the highly-rated comments caught his attention.
[It’s my first time buying an album. I think it’s worth buying one dollar and eighty-two dollars for the songs I like. I wouldn’t consider anything more expensive. I’ve gotten used to getting songs for free over the years, so it’s hard to get used to paying for them.]
Many people echoed this in the comment section below.
"Plus one, it's the first time I buy songs, Oh Ye Ge's 8.8 album is a bit expensive, and there are two songs in it that I don't like."
"Same, I don't like buying things in bundles, I only buy songs I like."
Lin Zhixing nodded when he saw this.
It’s not just the short video that attracts traffic; the low price and popularity of the songs are also important reasons. If this single album was sold at a high price, or if a song was added that was not popular with most people, the sales would never be so good.
Their idea is really good. The right time, right place, and right people all came together. It would be strange if the album didn't become a hit! "Brother Lin, you are amazing. The idea of the short video is absolutely amazing!"
Dong Chen held his phone tightly and excitedly went forward to share it with Lin Zhixing.
Lin Zhixing took the phone, glanced at it, and nodded with a smile, "Congratulations, do a good job on your short videos. Song Ge and I will also open an account later. When you are free, help us shoot and edit videos, and also use our traffic."
Dong Chen smiled and made an OK gesture, "No problem, if I take a photo of you two, you will definitely be more popular than us!"
This incident gave Lin Zhixing a new idea.
Wang Cong spent at least two to three million to promote this album. The money from hot searches actually only accounted for a small part of it. The entire amount was spent on promotion on the Penguin Music platform. The more conspicuous the position, the more expensive the price.
What's funny is that the studio has no money to buy music platform promotion fees for "Jinghong", nor does it have money to buy hot searches. The popularity of the short video alone is more popular than if it had spent millions. Who can you complain to?
This is the trend of the times. Many popular Tik Tok songs in the past had hundreds of millions of views, all thanks to short videos, and not a penny was spent on promotion by the music platforms.
If Xiao Dong and Xiao Ji do a good job, it can really save the studio a lot of money on promotion.
…
General Manager's Office.
"Brother Cong, your idea is really good!"
Zhang Sihui smiled and handed the report to Wang Cong. "Based on the current sales, the Sunshine Youth Band's album will not be able to surpass it!"
Wang Cong extinguished the cigarette in his hand and laughed, "I saw that even the artists signed by Xiaolin Studio have surpassed them in album sales. It's really a great victory!"
Zhang Sihui suggested: "With the sales of this album, I think we can use it to promote Xiaolin more and build momentum for his upcoming participation in "I Am the King of Singers."
Wang Cong nodded in agreement, "Okay, then I'll trouble Sister Hui for this matter."
“You’re welcome.”
"Wait!"
Zhang Sihui had just walked to the office door when she was suddenly stopped by Wang Cong.
"Anything else?"
Zhang Sihui turned around and asked.
Wang Cong stared at her voluptuous thighs and said with a smile, "Today's flesh-colored stockings look pretty good."

…
Inside the Heisen Records Dance Studio.
[Disband, this is too shameful, the previous heroic words are simply a joke. ]
[It's terrible. Losing to Feng Qi Wu Tong would be fine, but now he has fallen to the point of being abused by his subordinates? ]
The eight boys of Sunshine Boys Group were completely depressed. Comments like these were overwhelming, and they now dared not check Weibo.
When I heard the words "Feng Qi Wu Tong", a deep feeling of fear went straight to my bones. Now I am completely defeated and have no temper at all. I will never dare to underestimate or disrespect this group again.
The eight underage teenagers were given a severe lesson by "Teacher Lin". Two main topics were discussed in the class.
1. Don’t pop champagne at halftime, otherwise you will lose badly.
Second, always maintain a humble heart.
——Oh yeah, my coming of age ceremony.
…
Lyrics department of Heisen Records.
The Sunshine Boys have become a big joke in the company. The topic of them being beaten up by their rivals has gone viral. There are many singers in the company, and now the way people look at them has changed.
Especially those who hate the singers in these fresh meat groups look down on them even more.
Wang Dongsheng, who was sitting in the window seat and looking at the gloomy sky outside, felt very uncomfortable at the moment. He sighed one after another and was in a very low mood.
He once lost to Lin Zhixing in a lyrics competition. Three songs in Sunshine Boys' new album were written by himself. When the general lost the battle, the military advisor also lost face.
Wang Dongsheng took a sip of coffee, cheered himself up, put on his headphones, and bought the song "A Glimpse of Beauty" separately.
He wanted to see what magic this song, which had surpassed the popularity of Sunshine Boys Band on the Internet, had, and where he had failed! After playing it, the prelude was not very catchy, but it slowly drew people into it.
The accompaniment uses a lot of ancient musical instruments, has a strong Chinese traditional feel, and the composition is of a certain level.
Now comes the singing part.
He thought the lyrics of the verse were okay, and the chorus was slightly better than the verse. After listening to the whole song, he felt that the lyrics were just above average.
It is totally incomparable with "Wishing You Good Luck" and there is also a certain gap when compared with the lyrics of the two songs "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" and "Coral Sea".
But the overall effect of the lyrics and music is very good, and there are only a handful of such Chinese-style duet songs between men and women. Perhaps this is why this song is popular on the Internet.
After Wang Dongsheng listened to it once, he closed his eyes and listened to it again.
Finally, he nodded, giving affirmation to the song and its creator.
This is an excellent work, and it sounds better than the three songs I wrote for Sunshine Boys Band.
However, he was unwilling to accept his defeat this time.
Because it is very difficult to write songs for this kind of boy band, it is a job that the lyricist is unwilling to take on. I was forced to do so by the company, and the creation cycle is very short.
These three songs did not perform to their best level, so I am not satisfied with the result at all.
The truth is, writing songs for groups is really hard.
On Earth, excluding groups with lead singers, there are only two songs sung by more than five people, or a group of people, that are famous and have good lyrics.
They are "Tomorrow Will Be Better" and "Beiping Welcomes You" - the word "京" will automatically turn into letters.
On Blue Star, there isn’t a single song that a songwriter in the industry thinks has good lyrics for a group performance.
It is reasonable for Wang Dongsheng to be dissatisfied with the result of this duel.
In fact, after losing the lyrics competition last time, he was secretly struggling in his heart. He was so old, and it was so embarrassing to lose to a young guy.
After the final results of the lyrics competition came out, he took a week off from work. He clearly felt that the way his colleagues in the lyrics department looked at him had changed, as if everyone was laughing at him.
This week he had no appetite and felt no motivation or fun doing anything. His wife took him to see a psychologist, who gave him a conclusion.
——After self-esteem is hurt, a stress reaction occurs.
Ever since losing the lyrics competition, Wang Dongsheng has been waiting for an opportunity to save his face.
That opportunity soon came, which was the variety show "I Am the King of Singers". The artists sent by Haisen Records could sing their own lyrics, which made a huge contribution to his popularity.
If Lin Zhixing's lyrics in the show "I Am the King of Singers" can surpass the classics he has created before, he will be convinced and admit the fact that he has been surpassed by the younger generation.
If that day really comes, it will mean that I am really old. As a remnant of the old era in the lyric writing circle, I can no longer squeeze into the ship of the new era.
I will quit Haisen Records and quit the songwriting circle.
Wang Dongsheng's thoughts were in a mess. He turned off the Penguin Music platform, took off his headphones, and suddenly frowned when he remembered something.
What platform is "I Am the King of Singers" on? It's full of powerful singers.
Feng Qi Wu Tong might be eliminated in the first round, and won't be able to compete at all! Thinking of this, Wang Dongsheng sighed.
What a pity...
…

Yida Records.
Inside the Good Luck Studio.
After lunch, Lin Zhixing glanced at the song sales growth rate in the backstage. The growth rate was extremely slow. The number of people who wanted to buy the song was almost saturated, and his ranking as the number one in sales was a foregone conclusion.
"New Generation" had a tendency to catch up with "Jing Hong". It might be because the female fans of Sunshine Boys felt sorry for it and spent money to catch up with it. However, it was soon left behind by "Jing Hong".
There is no need to stare at the data now.
Lin Zhixing closed the Penguin Music platform and when he picked up the cup to drink water, the system prompt sound suddenly rang in his mind.
【bite!】
【Kill people and destroy their hearts! 】
[System mission is activated with simple difficulty. Post a microblog to mock and fight back against the netizens who despise you. This microblog gets 100,000 likes from netizens. After completing the mission, you will be rewarded with a random song from Earth.]
This task is not too difficult. Is the music library going to welcome a new member? Lin Zhixing raised his lips and quickly thought of the copy in his mind. A copy with 100,000 likes really needs to be thought carefully. If you are careless, it will be difficult to complete it.
After thinking about it for nearly ten minutes, he suddenly had an inspiration and called Dong Chen.
"Xiao Dong, come and take a picture for me!"
"Ok, why is Brother Lin suddenly in the mood to take pictures?"
Dong Chen walked over with a smile and turned on the camera. "How do you want to take a picture? Do you want to take a picture of you sitting in the boss chair like a successful person?"
“Vulgar!”
Lin Zhixing gave him a look, stood up from his seat, stood by the wall, and instructed: "Take a close-up, don't take a picture of my face, take a picture of my pants!"
"Pants?"
Dong Chen was wondering, and the next second, he saw Lin Zhixing put his hands in his trouser pockets, and he understood instantly.
"Hahaha, Brother Lin, I understand what you mean!"
Dong Chen smiled and gave a thumbs up, then adjusted the angle and took a close-up photo.
After Lin Zhixing received the photo, he opened Weibo, uploaded the photo, and added a short line of text.
——Do you remember what I said before?
After this Weibo post was released, fans were so happy that the comment section exploded.
"You said that you knew your limits once you made a move, and you had no opponent with your hands in your pockets, right?"
"Wow, you even made the connection between the context. Full marks!"
"Hahaha, no one knows how to show off better than Oh Ye-ge!"
…
At this moment, the captain of a popular boy band saw this Weibo post and frowned after reading it.
The album sales are crazy, right? They think they are great because they won, right?
Come on, come on, I'll show you what an opponent is later! (End of this chapter)
