"The steak here is good."
Lu Ye smiled at Lin Rui, then began to communicate with the blond, blue-eyed man in somewhat broken Mandarin.
Upon hearing that they were high-rollers who had reserved VIP room number one, the blond, blue-eyed man became even more enthusiastic and took the initiative to lead the group to the room.
During the meal, Lin Rui also changed his data SIM card with Chen Bin's help. He tried to log in to Weibo, but found that the target network was locked and he could not log in.
Then he tried several other software programs, and even websites, but the result was still the same.
Of course, there are exceptions.
For example, the official website of the China Literature and Art Association can be accessed directly.
【Xiazhou Voice】is also an option, but you need to register a new account, and the login interface is completely different from what you remember. Even the number of songs that can be searched and downloaded is pitifully small.
This gave Lin Rui a thought.
Region locked!
Sitting to the side, Lu Ye noticed that Lin Rui was searching for songs using [Xiazhou Voice], and a bitter expression appeared on his face.
"Unlike its glory in the Sixteen States, after [Voice of Xiazhou] arrived in Lizhou, it has been suppressed by its peers. I visited no less than a hundred entertainment companies, but only signed contracts with a dozen or so small companies."
"That's only because their backer wanted to establish a good relationship with Tianrui."
Hearing Lu Ye's complaints, Lin Rui was somewhat surprised: "How many music platforms are there in Lizhou?"
"How many?"
Lu Ye was taken aback at first, then looked troubled: "If you are referring to domestic software, there should be more than twenty, while Sangzhou has fewer, less than ten."
"So little?"
Lin Rui was even more surprised.
It's worth noting that even in Shinshu and Fanshu, where the music scene isn't particularly vibrant, the two states combined can still produce at least thirty tracks.
With such a rich artistic atmosphere in Lizhou, how could there be so little?
"few?"
Lu Ye's lips curled into a bitter smile: "I estimate that in another six months, this number will drop below thirty."
“Xiao Rui, you’ve just arrived in Lizhou and don’t know the situation here.”
“Speaking of music software alone, domestic products are almost all struggling. Consumers are not buying them, and they also have to be wary of being acquired by foreign capital.”
Lin Rui frowned slightly: "There are quite a few celebrities in Lizhou. Don't they have signed contracts with these music platforms?"
"On the contrary, they not only signed a contract, but they signed a contract with all platforms."
Lu Ye spoke with a serious expression.
Lin Rui subconsciously opened [Voice of Xiazhou] and searched for two celebrities whose names he could remember, but found no such person.
Seemingly sensing Lin Rui's confusion, Lu Ye said with a wry smile, "The music platforms I'm referring to are those local software programs that are qualified to be released overseas. [Xiazhou Voice] does not yet have that capability."
Lin Rui's eyes showed a look of realization.
It seems that music platforms like [Xiazhou Voice], which are just starting out or are relatively small in scale in Lizhou, are not within Lu Ye's scope of statistics.
"strength?"
Lin Rui wasn't confused at this moment, he was astonished!
It's worth noting that [Voice of Xiazhou] has firmly established itself as the number one music platform in terms of popularity across the sixteen states, and artists from all states are flocking to it.
Even due to the astonishing ratings of "Chinese Paladin", many film and television companies have begun to try to contact Tianrui to discuss the possibility of joining the company.
Furthermore, with Douyin's investment in [Xiazhou Voice], the live streaming section has been integrated with Douyin Live. Douyin's CEO, Kang Quan, is now in charge of the live streaming section. In her eyes, the market is no longer limited to Huazhou and Xiazhou, but to all sixteen states!
It's no wonder Lin Rui is overthinking things; with such solid strength, how could he not be qualified?
Lu Ye probably realized that Lin Rui had misunderstood, and explained, "To qualify for overseas distribution, company strength is not the main criterion. The real consideration is the number of artists on board, especially those with a huge international influence."
