You are a star, why do you have all the skills from the underworld?

"It will take at least a month."

Guo Fan was a little worried, "Boss, if you think it's too slow, I can rush the work, and it shouldn't be a problem to start shooting in 20 days."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yi quickly stopped Guo Fan and said:
"No, no, no, no hurry."

"I'll give you a month and a half. Once everything is ready, we can start filming."

"This movie must become a milestone in domestic science fiction films. Otherwise, if it turns out to be a shoddy and bad movie, it would lose the original intention of making this movie."

The script was given by Xu Yi, and the money was given by Xu Yi.

Apart from these two things, almost all other matters were left to Guo Fan to lead, giving Guo Fan great creative freedom.

Guo Fan was moved when he heard Xu Yi's words.

He repeatedly assured Xu Yi:

"Boss, rest assured, I will try my best to make this movie a success!"

Xu Yi: "Don't be too stressed."

He walked around the crew without saying hello to anyone else, and left half an hour later. If he stayed too long, it would affect Guo Fan's work.

Sometimes, both parties will be happier if they just let it go.

the next day.

Xu Yi went to the recording studio and personally reviewed the album with Zheng Tao and others. In this era, all albums are digital, and almost no singers release CDs or cassettes, so it saves a lot of trouble.

Zheng Tao had already contacted several major music apps and decided to launch them simultaneously.

Because Xu Yi had promised before that the album would be released within three days, the pre-promotion work had already begun, and many of Xu Yi's previous fans came to support him.

Xu Yi has also won the Creative Newcomer of the Year award.

And he has produced many representative works.

For example, "Red Bean" by Li Fei, "Invisible Wings" by Wang Xi, "My Future Is Not a Dream" by Zhou Yu, and "The Lone Brave Man" written for the national fire department, including "The Moon Represents My Heart" sung by Xu Yi himself at the CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, are all extremely popular songs.

Therefore, although Xu Yi did not debut as a singer, he did gain a group of fans.

"By the way, Brother Tao, is the album cover ready?"

"That's all!" Zheng Tao said with a grin, "We discussed it and decided that it would be better to use your photo for the cover. What do you think, boss?"

This is common practice.

Printing the singer’s image directly on it is a form of publicity in itself.

Xu Yi thought about it and realized that this album might be the only one he would release, so it was not unacceptable to put up a photo of himself. At least when he was old and recalled it, he could still look at his younger self.

Xu Yi nodded and said:
"No problem, I'll find someone to take some photos today."

"I'll send it to you when the time comes. You can figure out the cover. Hmm...come up with a few more designs, and I'll choose from them then."

Zheng Tao readily agreed: "No problem."

The album cover has already been discussed, so the album release is a done deal, and there won't be any problems. Zheng Tao hesitated and asked:
"Boss, this is our first album release after all. Why don't we find some friends in the industry to share the news and let everyone speak up to promote it for you?"

Xu Yi smiled and said, "No need, they will speak up when the time comes."

Xu Yi carefully selected this album, and it will definitely have the destructive power of a nuclear bomb once it is released.

Anyone who is not blind can tell the value of this album.

So Xu Yi has this confidence.

After listening to all ten songs in the album, there is basically no need to modify them. Xu Yi had actually listened to them once before, but he only recorded one song and listened to one song at a time. Now that he has listened to the entire album at once, the feeling is still somewhat different.

After finishing these complicated matters, Xu Yi no longer worried about how to publish it.

Zheng Tao has been in this circle for so long that he is very familiar with this process.

He is now equivalent to half of Xu Yi's agent in his music career. He not only has to help Xu Yi and Yao Meng produce songs, but also help them with operations and distribution, and even if necessary, he has to learn to do things like ranking and controlling comments.

Firstly, following Xu Yi, the quality of the songs is very high.

For a producer, this is a great sense of accomplishment.

Secondly, Xu Yi gave a lot.

You feel embarrassed if you don't work hard because they give you bonuses all the time.

Two days later, the cover was produced and Xu Yi picked one himself.

Two more days passed.

Xu Yi’s first original album "In the Name of the Father" was simultaneously released on the three major domestic music apps, quietly launched without buying any hot searches.

Xu Yi’s loyal fans were the first to get the new album.

The first thing to do is not to help promote, but to listen to the song.

Yes.

Listen to the song first.

After all, the popularity of "Xu Yi" had just passed, and fans were unsure. What if Xu Yi was really not doing well? What if this new album was just released to fool people?

Have to be on guard.

As a result, after listening to the entire album of ten songs, many fans were shocked.

Then I listened to it a second time.

The third time.

The fourth time.

Later I just played the albums in order and on repeat all day long.

About two hours after the album was released, fans finally began to spontaneously and proudly promote the album on various platforms. Almost all of their Moments, social media accounts, and music app comments were occupied by fans.

However, the topic still did not become a hot search.

It wasn't until someone posted a comment on the album on his social media that traffic quickly focused on Xu Yi's new album.

This person is the little queen Li Fei.

The moment she saw Xu Yi release an album, Li Fei put aside all the work she was doing and went to listen to music while cursing.

"I called him, but the line didn't go through."

"Sent him a message, but he didn't reply."

"Contact his agent and tell him he's traveling abroad."

"Liar, just a liar!"

"You were obviously writing songs and planning something big, but now you can't hide it anymore, right? I want to hear what you've come up with in these two months of seclusion!"

Li Fei was indeed a little angry.

She and Xu Yi are old acquaintances.

Not only did they collaborate on shows, but they also collaborated on songs. But one day, Xu Yi didn't answer her phone calls or reply to her messages, and even her agent gave her the cold shoulder. Do you think she wouldn't be angry?
After all, she is also a little queen in the music scene today!
Who dares to ignore me like this?

After counting, there was only Xu Yi left.

Log in to the website, the homepage is the cover of Xu Yi's new album, a cool side profile photo, under the dim light, it looks a bit cold. Li Fei glanced at the album name:

"In the name of the Father?"

"You're so arrogant. Are you going to be the father of the Chinese music scene?" Digital albums require payment, but Li Fei certainly doesn't mind that.

After clicking buy.

She started listening directly to the title song of the album. As the prelude started, a deep voice spoke a few words in English, and the atmosphere was immediately set.

Li Fei got goosebumps.

She also sings pop music, but this kind of playing style...

Indeed, I have never seen it.

After a long self-introduction, a few words of “Jia Jia Jia” instantly pull the whole song into a musical.

The sense of immersion is very strong!
"This singing style... rap-style singing, so cool! The melody is also well written, so good! This guy really keeps all the good things for himself!"

Li Fei is a professional singer, so when she listens to a song, she not only listens to the melody, but also the lyrics, rhythm, accompaniment, etc. She can hear everything.

However, the more she listened, the more Li Fei's heart started pounding.

When she heard the song "My Wife", Li Fei almost forgot to breathe:

This...this is also okay?

Can songs be written and sung like this?

It was two hours later when she finished listening to the entire album. The battle could have been over in an hour, but Li Fei took two hours. However, she still couldn't calm down for a long time.

She had a premonition.

The sky of the Chinese music scene is about to change.

Xu Yi's album is indeed pop music, but it doesn't seem to be like the pop music currently on the market. It is pleasant to listen to and catchy, and the key is that it is also very artistic!

After thinking for a long time, Li Fei still couldn't find any words to describe this album.

She opened her social account and wrote solemnly on it:

"I just finished listening to Xu Yi's new original album "In the Name of the Father". I am so shocked that I probably won't be able to recover for several years. It's amazing. I have only three words to describe it. In addition, I have one more sentence for the Chinese music scene: this album is a nuclear bomb. The sky of the Chinese music scene is going to change starting today."

Li Fei’s social media accounts have tens of millions of followers, making her a real big V.

Her statement immediately made Xu Yi's new album release a hot topic:
#Li Fei commented on Xu Yi's original album being awesome
A large number of netizens quickly gathered under this entry.

Some are fans of Li Fei, some are netizens who have heard of Xu Yi before, and some just came here for the fun of it.

"Since Sister Fei said so, I'll go and listen."

"I misread it. I thought it was Li Fei's comment on Xu Yi's Niu Zi. Damn it, I'm going to face the wall and reflect on my mistakes..."

"Sister Fei, why are you releasing new songs? I only want to listen to your songs, forget about others."

"Since Sister Fei can say that the Chinese music scene is going to change, it seems that I have to listen to Xiao Xuzi's album. Let's see whether you are just praising each other for commercial purposes or you are really that amazing!"

Most of this part have not listened to the song yet.

Of course, there are also some fans who have already heard the song. When they saw this trending search, it was as if they had found their organization. They cried with joy and expressed their opinions one after another.

"I just finished listening to it and my mother asked me why I was kneeling to listen to the song."

"Without exaggeration or criticism, I think Sister Fei's comments are very fair, even a little conservative. I can say without hesitation that this album is a masterpiece that has not been surpassed in the past 30 years in the Chinese music scene!"

"Xu Yi is invincible! Who said it was just a flash in the pan before? Come out and get beaten!"

“I beg you to release the vinyl record. I want to collect it. I want to collect it!”

"I have listened to it twice, and the more I listen to it, the more amazing it becomes. Is this really the level of Chinese music?"

As more and more people started listening to the song, more and more netizens posted comments.

At present, there are surprisingly no haters under this hot search.

Almost all the comments were positive and praiseworthy.

Even several music critics who are known for being venomous began to use their accounts to take advantage of the traffic and began to comment on Xu Yi's album.

Mr. Ding: "Technically, this is an album that is nearly 100% complete and impeccable. The music style is varied and is not at all restricted to the current popular creations, creating a new school. The rap-style singing and Chinese-style elements make this album present a kind of beauty that is both a culmination of the past and a new chapter. I am fortunate that there are musicians like Xu Yi in China, and I am also happy that the audience has such a singer. Today is destined to be recorded in the history of the music scene."

Er Di: "My evaluation is just three words, listen to them all!"

The topic entry gradually soared on the hot search list.

In the afternoon of the same day, it had already topped the hot search list.

Not only was the album being discussed within the industry, but almost all fans, big and small, and non-fans, participated in this event. Only Xu Yi, the original author of the album, paid no attention to it at all.

For Xu Yi.

The release of this album is more of a response to myself.

After all, he didn't plan to stay in the entertainment industry until he was old, and he had already decided to retire in three years, so naturally he hoped to leave something behind.

Like music, like movies.

Even, like variety shows.

These things at least prove that Xu Yi once did something in the domestic entertainment industry.

Instead of being like some traffic stars, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and had countless fans, but after several years, they made money but had no works at all.

Xu Yi is not short of money.

Especially now.

He has a cash flow of 40 to 500 million yuan. As long as he doesn't start a business or gamble, he can spend it all in his lifetime by just lying down.

When material things are abundant, of course there will be some spiritual pursuits.

Leaving behind some literary and artistic works is Xu Yi’s spiritual pursuit.

It was not until the evening that Fat Ju sent Xu Yi a message:
"Boss, the album has been online for 9 hours and has sold 277 million copies so far. It is estimated that the sales volume in 24 hours may exceed million copies."

Xu Yi replied: "Oh~"

It’s not much money.

Because it is a complete album of ten songs, this "In the Name of the Father" is priced at 36 yuan.

Not cheap.

However, many singles are priced at three or five yuan, and after buying them, they turn out to be rubbish, so the cost-effectiveness of this album is highlighted. Many netizens even suggested raising the price, saying that selling an album of this quality for 36 yuan is simply wholesale!

It should be sold for at least one hundred and twenty yuan!

Even if we calculate it at 36 yuan, 227 million tickets would only be 9972 million. After deducting the % share from the platform, Xu Yi would get nearly million yuan.

This number is scary.

For many singers, this kind of achievement is simply a dream.

Fat Orange was having dinner with Yao Meng at the moment. When she saw Xu Yi's reply, she was not angry at all. Instead, she seemed to have expected it. She smiled and said to Yao Meng, "Xiao Meng, you see, I was right, right? The boss has no idea about this data. He probably thinks that it will be considered a success only if 20 million copies are sold."

Yao Meng's eyes were full of hearts:
"It's only been nine hours, and more than two million copies have been sold. And the most people only bought a dozen or so. This shows that the boss's fans are really powerful."

It is truly amazing to be able to achieve this result without relying on vote-rigging.

Yao Meng is now at peace:

"Don't worry, I guess the boss won't make any new songs in the next two years."

"The next priority will definitely be to help you get an album. Within three years, you will definitely be able to reach the level and popularity of Li Fei now..." (End of this chapter)
