Chapter 143 Pan Shuai’s Invitation

Chapter 143 Pan Shuai’s Invitation

Yida Records.

In the assistant's office.

Only half an hour after Lin Zhixing requested to be on the show, Zhang Sihui called him back to the office.

"Xiao Lin."

Zhang Sihui smiled and said, "I just communicated with the production team over there. They agreed to your request to only participate in four episodes and are willing to adjust your challenge time. If your performance is outstanding, you can participate in the finals in four episodes."

"Yeah, okay."

It doesn’t matter if Lin Zhixing wins the championship or not. He doesn’t care about the title of “King of Rap” at all. With Jay Chou’s four songs, he is the “God of the New Era”! Who cares about the title of “King” when he has the title of “God”?

"oops!"

Lin Zhixing suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot to tell you before that we should ask them to add a little more money each time."

After all, those people who were on the same stage with me were so disgusting, so I should ask the program crew to give me a little more compensation including mental damage compensation. My mind was so full of songs just now that I forgot about the extra money.

Zhang Sihui smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, you are so popular now, the company won't do it if you pay less. I have negotiated the price to one million for four installments."

One million in four installments?

The price is quite reasonable.

Lin Zhixing smiled and thanked her, "Thank you, Sister Hui. I'll treat you to a meal when the money arrives."

"good."

Zhang Sihui suddenly remembered and said, "Oh, by the way, the production team of I Am the Rap King will announce your joining the show on the official Weibo at 6 o'clock tonight. After this Weibo, you can save the pictures on Weibo and also post a Weibo response. The content is fine, just feel free to express it."

"Yes, sure."

Lin Zhixing did not leave immediately, but moved a chair and sat down. "Sister Hui, I have a business cooperation plan that I want to discuss with you. The last time, the "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" video ringtone became popular, and you said a few days ago that they wanted to cooperate on other video ringtones, didn't they?"

"yes."

Zhang Sihui nodded.

Lin Zhixing explained: "The video ringtone issue is easy to deal with. This time I want to try a different way of cooperation with the Optoelectronics Communications Company. I hope they can launch a new client brand and I can sing a song to endorse it."

After obtaining the song "My Territory", he thought about this matter. Compared with China Mobile's active search for spokespersons in the previous life, his operation in the opposite direction would probably be more difficult to implement.

But I thought, I don’t care whether it will work out or not, and I don’t need to take the time to discuss it, so I decided to try my luck.

If you are lucky, you will have a chance. These communication companies like to find celebrities to endorse their products. Ge You, Kun Ge, Zhang Yixing, Gu Ailing, Times Youth League and others have all endorsed China Mobile.

After a detailed explanation.

Zhang Sihui agreed to help ask, "Okay, I'll first ask Optoelectronic Communications, which we have cooperated with. If they don't want to, I'll ask the other two companies. If none of them want to, then I can't do anything. In addition, do you have any requirements for remuneration?"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhixing said, "I don't want any song copyright fee, but I want 20% of the endorsement fee, or 10% is also fine. But if they are not willing to split it, I want 30 million for the song copyright fee plus the endorsement fee."

This kind of company will not easily give profit sharing to client brands, but ideally, if they really give profit sharing and the client brand of China Mobile becomes popular, then they will become rich.

Thirty million is not a lot to ask for. I'm just keeping it in mind. In the era of ringtones, the revenue from popular ringtones like "Mouse Loves Rice" and "Two Butterflies" far exceeded thirty million.

Lin Zhixing plans to use the 30 million to buy a better house in Beijing or Shanghai. After all, these two cities are so popular with major variety shows, and living in one's own home is better than staying in a hotel.

"How much? Thirty million?"

Zhang Sihui was surprised by the number. "I feel like it's not easy for them to agree to this price."

"It's okay, Sister Hui, please ask for me, there is room for negotiation."

"Okay, I'll try."

…

…

6:30 in the evening.

In the hotel room.

While Lin Zhixing was having dinner, he remembered what Zhang Sihui said about responding to Weibo, so he clicked on Weibo and was about to search for the official Weibo of the program team.

I didn’t expect to see it on the hot search list. Just half an hour after it was posted, the topic rushed to the third place in the hot search list, with more than 80,000 likes and nearly 30,000 comments.

[Official announcement: Oh Ye Ge Lin Zhixing will appear on the stage of "I Am the Rap King" as a guest singer, please look forward to it. 】

The accompanying picture is an artistic photo I once took, which should have been sent by the company.

Swiping the screen and opening the comment section, the fans were extremely excited.

"What? Oh Ye Ge is challenging the club? I really need to watch this show!"

"Oh Ye Ge's song "Mountain and River Map" shocked me at the beginning. I hope he can also bring high-quality rap to this program. The songs here are too bad. I urgently need good songs to cleanse my ears."

"When I saw this message, I just wanted to say, oh yeah!"

Seeing his fans praising him so much, Lin Zhixing felt very happy with a smile on his face, and became more determined to bring high-quality works to his fans.

After saving the picture, he also edited a Weibo response.

[The world is eager to hear stories about young people who have made great achievements, so I am here! ]

Lin Zhixing didn't want to get any boring title in the rap field, but he didn't expect to be invited to rap shows and sent songs by the system, forcing himself to create a new era of rap in the Chinese music scene.

——Okay, since the world wants to hear stories about young and promising people, I will tell them to the world.

As soon as this Weibo post was released, it sparked heated discussion among netizens.

"I have also officially announced it, great!"

"This copywriting is absolutely amazing. In terms of style, it has to be Oh Ye Ge!"

"He has already achieved what he has achieved at a young age, so let's make this story even more exciting!"

…

Lin Zhixing put down his phone and emptied the food in the lunch box. While wiping his mouth, he noticed that Dong Chen beside him was not quite right. He barely touched the lunch box. "Why did you only eat so little?"

"I don't have much appetite, and my gums are a little swollen."

Dong Chen rubbed his cheek and sighed, "Brother Lin, I've been under a lot of pressure lately. As the last one, I feel like we'll be targeted by the surprise singers in the third episode. They'll definitely come after us two."

【bite!】

[The system task is now simple and difficult. Help Dong Chen to get motivated and set a goal for the competition. A random song from Earth will be rewarded for completing the task.]

It's redundant! Without this task, how can an older brother watch his younger brother become depressed?

Lin Zhixing patted Dong Chen on the shoulder, glanced at the task requirements, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid of those surprise singers. They are all singers invited by the program team who are one level lower than the regular singers. They are not difficult to deal with."

"I……"

Dong Chen scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "The main reason is that the two of us are not as good as the resident singers. We are on the same level as the surprise singers."

"You two now have three representative songs, which is much better than those surprise singers!"

Lin Zhixing encouraged him, "Don't be so unconfident, okay? Think about the goal I set for myself in the last episode. Am I afraid of them just because they are strong? There will always be a first place, so why can't it be me?"

Dong Chen nodded and gave a thumbs up, "Brother Lin, I wish I had your confidence. I will learn from you."

Lin Zhixing patted his chest and said, "I am not only confident in myself, but also in my work. Since I can keep you on this stage with "No Makeup", it will not be a problem for you to go further."

Dong Chen's eyes lit up after listening to it, and he let out a long note in surprise, "There are new songs?"

He believed in Lin Zhixing's ability and the songs he wrote for him were like tailor-made for him. If there were other suitable songs, the threat of a surprise singer would not be a problem.

Lin Zhixing nodded and said, "Well, it's in production. If it goes well, it will be used in this issue. If it goes slowly, it will be used in the second half of the issue."

"Thank you, Brother Lin."

The sadness on Dong Chen's face immediately disappeared.

"As an artist promoted by Good Luck Studio, you can't have such low expectations for yourself. Come on, set a new expectation for yourself!"

"Yeah, okay."

Dong Chen thought for a moment and raised three fingers.

"Third place?"

“I can stay on this stage for another three episodes!”

Lin Zhixing curled his lips and said, "Let me set a goal for you. As a team, you should strive to surpass Ku Miao."

Dong Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Surpass Ku Miao? Beat the instructor? I can't even think about it."

"So what if I'm a mentor? I surpassed him last time."

Lin Zhixing patted his shoulder heavily, "Have confidence in yourself and the song! I dare to dream of being the first, but you don't even dare to think of surpassing Ku Miao?"

"right!"

Dong Chen gritted his teeth and said with a firm look: "We are all a team. Ji Yu, Lin Ge and I, with your help, can't do without their help! I will surpass Ku Miao!"

"Louder!"

"I want to surpass Kumeo!"

…

Ji Yu, who was watching TV outside the room, looked towards the door with a gloomy look, "What's wrong with you!"

【bite!】

[The system task has been completed at the simple difficulty level. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the song "A Little Sweet". ]

The system prompt sounded suddenly, and all the memories about the song were retrieved.

Lin Zhixing looked at Dong Chen, who was full of fighting spirit, and smiled.

This song "A Little Sweet" is considered one of Wang Sulong's classic representative works.

At that time, the songs of the three giants of Green Diamond were very distinctive. Xu Song thought about his ex-girlfriend every day, Xu Liang broke up every day, and Wang Sulong was in love every day.

If the goal is to surpass Ku Miao, Wang Sulong's "A Little Sweet" is really suitable. The song is one of the ceiling of sweet songs.

Moreover, this type of songs will never go out of style, because there will always be youth and there will always be a group of people who yearn for fresh and simple love.

“Come on!”

…

…

Two days later, it was the night before the third episode of "I Am the King of Singers" was recorded.

Inside the restaurant of Shangri-La Hotel in Shanghai.

"Pigeon, go out and eat."

"The food here is delicious. I like eating here. It saves money!"

"Okay, okay."

Dong Chen and Ji Yu were so absorbed in singing practice that they forgot to eat and sleep. Lin Zhixing had planned to take Song Ge out for dinner, but after trying to persuade her for a long time, she just wouldn't agree.

Meals in the hotel restaurant are free and self-service. Song Ge will only eat out if there are special circumstances and he cannot return to the hotel.

Even if she has to go out to do something, if time permits, she will choose to go out after mealtime, as the prices of restaurants in Shanghai are unacceptable to her.

"Wow, there's fried pork chops today."

When he walked to the food pick-up area, Song Ge's eyes lit up. He picked up the buffet tray, picked out two large pieces and put them on his and Lin Zhixing's plates.

"Come."

Lin Zhixing also picked up the chopsticks, "And your favorite fried noodles, eat more."

"Uh-huh."

…

After picking up the dishes, the two came to the dining area.

"Is it tasty?"

Lin Zhixing looked at Song Ge eating the greasy food with his little mouth and asked with a smile.

Song Ge smiled and nodded, "It's delicious. I think I've gained weight recently."

After listening to him, Lin Zhixing handed over the milk tea in his hand, "Here, have a cup of milk tea. I heard that milk tea has special effects."

"What effect?"

Song Ge picked up the cup and took a sip, then asked curiously.

Lin Zhixing reached out and pinched her cheek lovingly, "It can cure your lying! Where are you fat? You are so cute that you are puffy."

"Pfft, I'll hammer you!"

【bite!】

[It is detected that the host makes the partner feel "happy", and the popularity proficiency is increased by 1 point. 】

【Current: Popular B (46/50). 】

…

"Hello, this is Lin Zhixing and Song Ge, right?"

The voice sounded familiar. Lin Zhixing, who was eating, looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person talking to him was the Taicheng rapper Pan Shuai, who was smiling and very friendly.

Lin Zhixing nodded and stood up, "It's us, Brother Pan, are you coming to eat too?"

"Sit, sit, sit."

Pan Shuai smiled and nodded, "I just finished my meal and was about to leave the restaurant when I saw you guys."

"oh oh."

"Mind if I sit and chat for a while?"

"No problem, please sit down."

After Pan Shuai sat down and exchanged a few pleasantries, he said, "I saw the official announcement on the official Weibo of I Am the Rap King this morning. I'm glad you can come to participate in this program."

"Uh-huh."

Lin Zhixing smiled and nodded, "Brother Pan, you are also in this show, right?"

Pan Shuai nodded and said, "Yes, I am a judge and mentor in this program. How about joining my team after you succeed in the challenge? My team is in urgent need of a talented singer."

After all, he had to participate. Lin Zhixing had a rough understanding of the program in advance. There are three teams in "I Am the Rap King". Pan Shuai's team is currently at the bottom, and the gap with the other two teams is quite large.

Lin Zhixing joked, "Can I succeed in kicking the club?"

Pan Shuai smiled and patted Lin Zhixing on the shoulder. "Of course it's no problem. When my team members learned that the singer of "Mountain and River Map" was coming to participate in the show, they felt a strong sense of crisis."

There is such a thing?

Lin Zhixing nodded and made an OK gesture, "Okay, no problem. If the challenge is successful, I will definitely join Brother Pan's team."

"Okay, okay, it's settled then!"

Pan Shuai high-fived Lin Zhixing, then left satisfied.

Lin Zhixing looked at his back as he left, thinking that it was not a wise move for him to invite him to join the team.

Although he would help his team improve their performance, as a mentor, it would be a bit embarrassing for him if he lost to his students in this show.

So before participating in this show, let's give these rappers who underestimate themselves a little shock in advance.

Let us worship together toward joy tomorrow night!
