"Principal, is this the way back to the academy?"
Slightly drunk, Director Luo looked out the window in surprise.
He knew this road all too well. After a few more turns, he would surely arrive at Xiazhou Conservatory of Music.
Ren Hetai, who was also slightly drunk, chuckled and said, "Have you forgotten what the program is for tonight?"
Director Luo was already a little confused, but suddenly, he realized and slapped his forehead: "The rankings change at the end of the month, look at my memory."
"The equipment at home is rudimentary, and it's inconvenient to play music, especially late at night. It's much more comfortable to listen to music in the office."
Renhe Thai taxi driver said, "Sir, please drop us off up ahead. We just finished eating and want to walk a few steps to digest."
Okay.
The taxi driver responded and pulled over after traveling a few hundred meters.
After getting out of the car, Director Luo immediately jogged to the supermarket in front and bought a pack of cigarettes. Then he accompanied Ren Hetai as they walked step by step toward the college.
"Lin has been making quite a splash this month."
Director Luo lit a cigarette and said with some emotion.
"It's likely that we won't see any more activity like this for a long time."
Ren Hetai seemed lost in thought, his tone revealing a hint of complexity.
"Principal, I don't understand what you mean."
"He's going to Lizhou."
Lizhou!
Director Luo, who was somewhat drunk, sobered up considerably in an instant.
He was, to some extent, an official, and was well aware of the special characteristics of Lizhou and Sangzhou.
Sangzhou is world-renowned for its textile trade and has brought immeasurable glory to China.
Thousands of years ago, Sangzhou possessed world-class sericulture technology. At that time, many neighboring countries even sent envoys to visit and learn this technology, which was then at the forefront of the world.
Although Sangzhou's glory days are over, its sericulture technology still stands at the pinnacle of the world, and it is now the center of global silk culture.
Because of its unique historical background and profound international status, it is highly favored by overseas capital.
In particular, the fact that Sangzhou is adjacent to the floating island nation has led to a large amount of foreign culture being introduced to Sangzhou via the floating island nation.
Of course, considering the strong commercial atmosphere of Sangzhou, the cultural impact was not significant. In addition, the state is under the close attention of the Chinese Literature and Art Association, so even if some foreign cultures with malicious intent appear, they will be nipped in the bud.
Unlike other places, although it is not exactly a no-man's-land, it is still a mixed bag due to the presence of capital from various countries.
Lizhou is indeed a disaster area in terms of culture!
"Is Chairman Xu willing to release them?"
Director Luo looked puzzled.
A prodigy like Lin Rui, with unlimited potential, could be kept by our side for a few more years to hone his character before being sent to Lizhou to develop his career.
After all, the temptations from beyond the realm are too great. If the powerful forces from other realms were to take advantage of the situation, it would be a loss for the entire Divine Continent!
"Director Luo, do you know why you've been in this position for over a decade without getting a promotion?"
Ren Hetai shook his head: "Your awareness still needs improvement."
Without offering much explanation, Ren Hetai simply patted Director Luo on the shoulder and continued walking, leaving Director Luo lost in thought, his eyes filled with confusion.
Tonight, many people who know the inside story are discussing whether Fusheng should stay or leave.
Lizhou has also become an unavoidable topic.
Of course, they were also patiently waiting for Fusheng to deliver a perfect answer before he left.
clang!
As the bell rang, all the onlookers who had been waiting in front of [Xiazhou Voice] clicked on the promotional posters on the homepage.
Today, more and more entertainment companies in various states are signing cooperation agreements with [Voice of Xiazhou]. It can be said with certainty that Tianrui Entertainment has now become an undisputed giant in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Artists from all states would choose Tianrui Entertainment as their first choice for signing, but unfortunately, Tianrui Entertainment's signing threshold is too high now. Unless they are extremely talented, Luo Qi and Zheng Jing would not even consider it.
Compilation Edition!
All eleven songs are bundled together, not sold individually!
Many onlookers were dumbfounded; what kind of bizarre move was this?!
Some people bought the compilation without hesitation.
Some people hesitated because they were only interested in a few of the songs, but in the end they gritted their teeth and paid to download them.
As for the teenagers who secretly stayed up all night and only recharged their accounts with one yuan, they are now dumbfounded.
They just wanted to give Brother Fusheng a dollar they found on the roadside, but this whole thing has left them completely bewildered.
These days, some people go out in the middle of the night to pick up money, while others seek help from the rich kids in the class group. Perhaps they forgot that the homeroom teacher is also awake, and brazenly say in the group: five yuan to cover the semester homework, ten yuan to cover the summer homework.
Then, the homeroom teacher sent a friendly smiley face emoji in the group chat.
Compared to the onlookers outside the industry, the celebrities themselves are practically cursing!
Bundled sales?!
Does this month's ranking still have any credibility?!
Who doesn't know about Fusheng's market appeal?!
Damn it!
Go ahead and do whatever you want!
Originally, everyone came for the Floating Life, but now that they have to spend an extra ten yuan, I wonder who will buy it!
Before this idea had been brewing for long, many top-tier artists were surprised to find that Li Mubai, who should have been treated like a younger brother and beaten up, as well as Xiao Jingyu and Chi Tianju, whom they had always been wary of, had suddenly surged into the top three of the list of top male singers!
To be precise, the download numbers are exactly the same, tied for first place!
Holy crap!
A quick glance at the list of second-tier artists reveals that Girls' Dormitory, Zheyu Group, Wen Wenxuan, and Zheng Jiayou are all tied for first place!
Looking at the charts, Sun Youlin stands out from the crowd, surpassing the second place by a full billion downloads!
Following the top female stars list, Shen Yun, Xu Huijing, and Ye Yinhui are all tied for first place!
There's no need to pay attention to the celebrity list anymore!
Many people have realized that the reason why Tianrui Entertainment came up with the bundled sales model is to dominate the entire charts, from beginning to end, and firmly hold the number one spot in all charts except for those of third-tier artists!
Not to mention first and second-tier artists, even the top stars and celebrities from various states were all taken aback!
To bid farewell to Fusheng, Tianrui actually resorted to such underhanded tactics; it's utterly shameless!
"This almost completely eliminates the possibility of 'Coral Sea' reaching the 10 billion yuan mark."
Ren Hetai shook his head.
In his view, unless one is a die-hard fan of the collection, they would almost never consider buying it.
"But it's not bad to win the top spot on all the lists."
Director Luo asked curiously, "Principal, doesn't the China Literature and Art Association care about this kind of tactic?"
What he actually wanted to say was that Tianrui Entertainment's actions were suspected of unfair competition, but having just been reprimanded by Ren Hetai, he dared not make any more immature remarks.
"Manage? How do you manage it?"
"Let me ask you, the compilation clearly states that it's a new work by Fusheng. Apart from the different singer, everything else matches up, right?"
"If other producers' works were mixed in, perhaps we could talk about it, but there aren't any."
"Furthermore, it did not lower prices, nor did it engage in misleading advertising, nor did it use any promotional tactics or damage the reputation of its competitors."
Ren Hetai shook his head again and patted Director Luo on the shoulder: "As I just said, it's almost impossible for Coral Sea to break into the 10 billion yuan list. In this way, Tianrui has lost a lot of revenue. You can say that Tianrui's move is somewhat self-defeating, but it is indeed not against the rules."
Director Luo promptly shut up, and Ren Hetai waved his hand, saying, "This is just a business idea, but other entertainment companies can't replicate it. Alright, let's play 'Coral Sea' first."
