Chapter 291 Everyone here is trash, except you
CTS Radio Building.
Inside the meeting room.
"Hey, isn't this Captain Guo, the captain of Super July M?"
Lin Zhixing went out to answer the phone. Lin Kai held his cheek with one hand, looking at Guo Jiahe who was sitting next to his brother. He remembered the previous quarrels between fans on Weibo, and started a conversation with a forced smile.
Guo Jiahe glanced at him, shook his head in disdain, and said to his brother with a raised corner of his mouth: "I don't understand how the current Spring Festival Music Gala invites people. The selection standards have been seriously lowered."
In his heart, he looked down on Lin Kai, who relied on his female fans to become famous. In terms of traffic, Lin Kai was at least half a level to a level lower than himself. How dare Lin Kai speak to him in such a sarcastic tone? He felt like a tiger in plain land being bullied by a dog.
I can’t beat Lin Zhixing, so I can’t beat you? Dong Chen’s mouth curved downwards.
Two people don't like each other, and they can curse at each other, but why do they also use ranged attacks when speaking?
Lin Kai's face changed instantly after hearing this. He just greeted him and said nothing, but he actually took the initiative to mock him.
“Some people lowered their standards but still didn’t get selected!”
Lin Kai smiled and shrugged his shoulders, saying yin and yang: "I think it is important for a singer to know himself. If he can't even make the top three in a singing competition, it's better to just be a dancer."
He poked wherever it hurt, and he almost shouted out the three words "Guo Jiahe".
Lies don't hurt people, but the truth breaks people's defenses.
Guo Jiahe's face turned red and white, and he clenched his fists and stared at Lin Kai, who was smiling brightly.
I wanted to refute and ridicule back, but was left speechless.
His younger brother Guo Pengcheng, seeing his elder brother being humiliated, his eyes were red, and he couldn't help but say: "Lin Kai, you are so confident. It seems that you can make it into the top three in the Spring Festival Music Gala? If you can't make it, will you learn to dance? Do you need my brother to teach you then?"
Guo Pengcheng was born in a military art troupe. He once won first place in a singing competition organized by the troupe. He is very strong and very confident in his abilities.
"Hahaha……"
Guo Jiahe smiled, patted his brother and gave him a thumbs up.
Fight, fight!!! The atmosphere was getting tense, and Dong Chen, who was eager to watch the fun, was full of anticipation.
"Who are you?"
Lin Kai's eyes fell on Guo Pengcheng, and he snorted coldly, and shot back: "I don't even know you. Have you ever released an album? Have you ever put a song on the music platform? A cover song will also be fine, have you?"
Wow, what a vicious mouth! Dong Chen looked at Lin Kai, whose mouth was like a machine gun, and felt that he was very consistent with his online personality of being a badass.
The pain point was hit and the truth broke people's defenses again.
Guo Pengcheng's face turned red, his mouth was open but no sound came out.
It is true that I am good at singing, and I always sing other people’s songs. I don’t have any original songs.
Lin Kai became more and more excited as he spoke, and he kept insisting, "I don't think anyone who doesn't even have an original song is a singer at all. To put it elegantly, they're amateurs, to put it vulgarly, they're..."
He had barely finished speaking when the door to the conference room was pushed open.
The staff member stood at the door and shouted, "Li Haoming, come out to record the video!"
"good!"
The young man sitting next to Guo Pengcheng stood up and left.
Lin Zhixing came back after finishing his phone call, sat back next to Dong Chen and said, "Sister Hui didn't ask me anything, she just wanted to ask me if the album is ready."
After saying that, while picking up the water bottle to drink water, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the conference room was a little strange. Guo Jiahe and Lin Kai seemed to be on the verge of a fight...
"elder brother!"
Lin Kai slowly stood up, turned to face Lin Zhixing, and said in a negotiating tone: "Stand up for a moment."
"Um?"
Lin Zhixing was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he was going to do, but from the tone of his voice he seemed to be discussing something with him, so he stood up in a daze.
“Bang!”
When Lin Kai saw Lin Zhixing stand up, he turned around and slammed the table, saying, "Everyone here is garbage!"
Guo Jiahe: “???”
Guo Pengcheng: “???”
Dong Chen: “???”
Lin Zhixing chuckled and his eyes fell on Lin Kai, "It's fun, fun, sit down and let me play for once."
Lin Kai: “???”
…
…
After recording the promotional video, I was driving back.
Dong Chen was very unhappy because he was frequently attacked. He sat quietly in the passenger seat, holding his chin and looking out the window. "Brother Lin, do you think I can make it into the top ten of the Spring Festival Music Gala?"
“I don’t know.”
Lin Zhixing shook his head. He had just listened to the staff's explanation of the general competition plan, and his mind was a bit confused, so he couldn't make any predictions about the results.
The competition format of this year's Spring Festival Music Gala is very similar to the "Birth of a Group" program.
One of them is the seating arrangement for singers.
The contestant area in the recording hall has six rows of seats, which are divided into six levels: A, B, C, D, and F. Level A is the strongest, while Level F is the weakest and faces the risk of being eliminated at any time.
Before the first stage performance, the initial seats are very interesting. The seats are arranged according to the album sales of the singer after his debut.
That is to say, singers who have sold a lot of albums in their careers will initially sit in Zone A, while singers with poor sales or who have never released an album at all will sit in Zone F at the end.
As the competition progresses, the big names in the music industry will gradually decrease in number, while newcomers with little status will gradually increase in number. It will be very interesting to watch.
The release of my new album "New World" tomorrow will determine which row Song Ge and I will sit in on the first stage.
"Brother Lin."
Dong Chen was bored and scrolling through Weibo. He said, "Luo Desheng's new album is called "The Last Platform". It has now dominated the trending search list. Quite a few singers have retweeted his Weibo and attracted listeners to him."
"Okay, got it."
Lin Zhixing knew that his connections were not as good as his, so he could only rely on the quality of his album to win. "Can you help me see if there are any singers who have reposted my album promotion Weibo?"
"Okay, let me take a look!"
Dong Chen was flipping through Weibo, counting the singers from our studio. "The ones from our studio don't count. There are Wang Jiawei, Ku Miao, Shen Fei, Adam Schubert, Fang Jian, Deng Xiaoyu, Mao Nan... that's it. They are all young singers. The seniors probably give them more consideration."
"Yes, that's right."
Lin Zhixing nodded to show his understanding.
…
…
Eight o'clock in the evening.
Inside a high-end villa in Taicheng.
Luo Desheng sat in front of the computer, staring at the music platform where his album would be released.
The three major music platforms, "Penguin Music", "Mad Dog Music" and "Wanwan Jingting", not only advertised Luo Desheng's new album "The Last Platform", but also opened the reservation function.
The reservation function is that when a new album is released, a pop-up window will appear to remind you to purchase it, but you don’t have to pay first. And it doesn’t matter if you don’t buy it after the album goes on sale. It’s just a reminder.
When Luo Desheng's fans learned about this feature, they couldn't wait to open the music platform they liked to listen to, and the homepage recommendation was Luo Desheng's new album cover scrolling.
In the black and white painting, Luo Desheng, wearing a windbreaker and a top hat, is waiting alone at the station, which is called "Platform".
"This album cover is quite interesting. The platform seems to refer to the music scene, which corresponds to "The Last Platform" being the last album. Maybe he is thinking of retiring after releasing it!"
"I have been listening to Mr. Luo's songs since childhood and middle age. I like them very much and I must support them!"
"Come on, General Changsheng, this album will definitely sell out!"
"Support it and use this album to teach young people a lesson!"
Fans clicked the reservation button one after another and took action to support the godfather of the music industry.
+1 for reservation.
Appointment +2.
Make an appointment +99.
Reservation: +9527.
One hour later...
Luo Desheng, who was sitting in front of the computer, stared at the background data showing the crazy increase in the number of reservations, with a smile on his face.
After just one hour, the number of pre-orders for the album on the largest Penguin Music platform exceeded 200,000, which exceeded any of his previous albums.
“Hopefully it’ll sell well tomorrow at noon!”
The other side.
Lin Zhixing was lying on the big bed in the hotel, looking at the exaggerated number of reservations for Luo Desheng on the music platform, and felt a little nervous.
The three major music platforms have not enabled the pre-order function for their albums, and without data reference, he is very worried about how the album will sell tomorrow.
Suddenly his cell phone rang. Lin Zhixing picked up the phone and took a look. It was his roommate Liu Junjie who answered the phone.
"Hey, Old Liu."
"I heard that you're releasing an album tomorrow and will compete with Luo Desheng. I've made a decision for you. Many students in our school want your autographed album, so I've launched an event to buy and draw an autographed album. A little bit of accumulation will add up to a lot, so I hope I can help you a little bit!"
"Old Liu, you did the right thing! Thanks for the reminder!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhixing suddenly had an epiphany.
I immediately opened the Weibo page, tapped on the keyboard, and sent out a Weibo message.
[In order to give back to the fans, I decided to give everyone a small gift. My signed physical album "New World". If the digital album sales reach 2 million in 24 hours, 500 copies will be given away. For every additional 500,000, 100 more copies will be given away. Retweet this Weibo to participate in the lucky draw.]
As soon as the Weibo post was released, fans were very excited and started forwarding it crazily.
"Great, the signed album is here!"
"I've never won a prize online, but I'm here to lower my chances of winning!"
"Hit me! Hit me hard!"
…
…
Nine o'clock the next morning.
Yida Records, inside Good Luck Studio.
"Brother Lin, why do you have no appetite this morning?"
Dong Chen looked at Lin Zhixing who was sitting in front of the computer in a daze, and pointed at the breakfast on the table which he had only eaten a few bites of.
"Hmm... not too hungry."
As Lin Zhixing spoke, he refreshed Luo Desheng's album pre-order data. The number of pre-orders had reached 600,000.
Dong Chen smiled and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "Hey, don't be nervous or anxious. Luo Desheng is already the tears of the times. It's time to pass the baton. Obviously, your album will be more in line with the taste of the times."
"Yeah, you're right, I won't pay attention to it anymore."
Lin Zhixing pushed the mouse away and stretched.
The album will be released at 12 noon. There is no point in sitting in front of the computer all the time, so just treat it with a normal attitude.
“Boom boom boom…”
"Come in!"
There was a sudden knock on the door, and a fat figure pushed the door open and walked in excitedly.
"Brother Lin, Brother Dong, good morning!"
The person who came was Bian Tingting, the captain of the 416 Art Girls Group. She was holding an envelope in her hand and had a bright smile on her face.
"Hello, Tingting."
Lin Zhixing smiled and raised his hand, asking, "You are smiling so happily, is there something good going on? Come on, share it with me, so that I can be happy too."
Bian Tingting smiled and nodded, then handed him the envelope in her hand. "I have some good news to share with you. Take a look at what this is."
Lin Zhixing took the envelope, pulled out the contents and took a look.
[Dear 416 Art Girls Group, we sincerely invite you to participate in the 12th AATV Music Spring Festival Gala. This program will be recorded at China Television Broadcasting and Television Station. If you are interested in participating, please reply as soon as possible...]
Lin Zhixing raised his head and asked in surprise, "You five are also eligible for invitations to the Spring Festival Music Gala?"
"OK!"
Bian Tingting smiled and scratched her head, "We were quite surprised to receive the invitation!"
"amazing!"
Dong Chen gave a thumbs up in admiration.
Lin Zhixing was not particularly surprised that the five girls from the 416 Art Girl Group were invited to perform at the Spring Festival Music Gala.
AATV1, AATV3, and AATV13, these three ATV channels have invited them to record four programs in total, promoting them as the new generation of opera inheritors and disseminators of opera culture.
It is completely understandable that they have gained attention from China Television and received invitations to the Spring Festival Music Gala, showing the charm of opera to the audience on China's largest music stage.
It’s great that they can be on this stage. Promoting the three songs "Chi Ling", "Qian Si Xi" and "Wan Jiang" on the show is much better than promoting them on Weibo.
Lin Zhixing glanced at Bian Tingting, who was smiling, and then glanced at Dong Chen, who was on the phone discussing work, with a slight smile on his face.
"One leads two, the Good Luck Studio charges forward collectively!"
…
The time finally came to noon.
Netizens who had pre-ordered Luo Desheng’s album yesterday received pop-up messages from the music platform on their mobile phones and computers.
"The album you are interested in, "The Last Platform", is now available on Penguin Music."
"The album you are interested in, "The Last Platform", is now available on Mad Dog Music. Please listen to it..."
Because it was online during the lunch break, most netizens who received the pop-up window, whether they were students or office workers, had time.
“Here it comes!”
"Payment has been made, Mr. Luo will win!"
Similarly, netizens who were following Lin Zhixing’s album also opened the music platform as soon as possible, even though there was no reservation reminder.
Like Lin Zhixing and Luo Desheng’s albums, both were released simultaneously on the three major music platforms, and even the prices were the same.
The duo's albums come in two forms. The digital album is priced at 8.8 yuan, and after purchase, it can be listened to for free for life. The physical album is a little more expensive, priced at 50 yuan, and will also be available on major e-commerce platforms at 12 o'clock.
"Support Oh Ye Ge, I have bought three copies with three accounts!"
“I have already purchased both the physical and digital albums to treasure!”
"It's only 8.8 yuan, not expensive. I've been listening to it for so long, I have to support it!"
When fans saw the price, they didn't hesitate at all. They just opened the software, put on the headphones, and paid for the purchase.
Good Luck Studio.
Lin Zhixing sat in front of the computer, staring at the real-time album sales data.
At this moment, the data is jumping so fast that it is hard to see clearly...
