Marry a female star at a bargain price

By the evening of September 29th.

The topic "Jiang Feng releases a new song" has finally topped the trending search list.

Before this, Jiang Feng had always been cursed, always ranking second on the trending topics list.

Whenever he posts something, something huge happens in the entertainment industry. It's either a top celebrity couple announcing their relationship or a big shot suddenly falling from grace, completely overshadowing his trending topics.

Even when Jiang Feng and Zhang Yi officially announced their marriage, they were overshadowed by a major scandal involving a top celebrity being exposed for having a surrogate pregnancy overseas, which drastically reduced the level of discussion to almost nothing.

Zhang Yi was furious, convinced that she was being dragged down by Jiang Feng, that unlucky guy.

According to normal logic, the news of the rock star and the international movie queen's marriage would, if not explode across the entire internet, generate a massive amount of attention and discussion among netizens.

After all, the two are well-known, and before this, they were two people who had absolutely no connection with netizens. Suddenly announcing their marriage felt like a cross-dimensional experience.

however……

The rest is history.

Jiang Feng's status as the "perennial runner-up on trending topics" has become so ingrained that even he has resigned himself to it. He has been the subject of countless online jokes and pranks, to the point that he has even been used as a "predictor of major scandals."

Whenever he makes a new move, netizens warn that a major scandal is about to break in the entertainment industry.

Surprisingly, it always works.

Jiang Feng himself was convinced that the most outrageous persona in the entertainment industry was actually the most reliable one.

When he topped the trending search list this time, netizens were overjoyed and celebrated. So much so that under the trending search term "Jiang Feng's new song release", another topic appeared: "Jiang Feng tops the trending search list", which was hilarious.

However, while netizens were happy, a careful analysis of this event revealed that it did not actually break the curse of being the "perennial runner-up in trending topics".

Because of this topic, it's already at the top of the trending list, it's impossible for it not to reach the top.

But it's hard to say who deserves the credit for reaching the summit.

Besides the eye-catching elements such as "Jiang Feng is always second best," "Jiang Feng releases a new song after five years," and "Jiang Feng's new song is neither rock nor original," netizens unanimously agreed after discussion that the most compelling aspect was the fact that "Jiang Feng's new song was written by Lin Xiao."

The topic "Lin Xiao wrote a new song for Jiang Feng" also appeared on the trending search list, but it did not reach the top spot.

However, netizens still firmly believe that Jiang Feng's successful ascent to the top was definitely due to the support of Lin Xiao, a super popular celebrity.

Without Lin Xiao's help, Jiang Tianwang would definitely be in second place again.

There's no other reason than that it's the end of September, and the National Day holiday is undoubtedly the peak season.

Nothing and no one can steal the spotlight from National Day.

Unless it's Jiang Feng and Lin Xiao.

Thus, Jiang Tianwang, in an unprecedented and unusual way, overshadowed the National Day celebrations and rightfully topped the trending searches.

Jiang Feng was already crying tears of joy at home, practically fainting from crying in the bathroom.

It's not easy!
For this unprecedented glory, it was worth it for him to have agreed to so many unequal treaties with Lin Xiao that humiliated and deprived the country of its sovereignty.

For example, we recorded and released "All the Way South" before National Day.

This is a very tight schedule.

When Jiang Feng received the sheet music for this song during the last recording of the program, it was already September 27th.

Although the lyrics and music of the song were already very complete at the time, to arrange, record, produce, officially announce, and release it in just two days... that speed was faster than taking an intercontinental ballistic missile.

In the music industry, no one has ever done anything like this before; it's absolutely insane.

For any song, writing good lyrics and music is only the first step in a long journey. Every subsequent step requires meticulous work and is time-consuming and laborious.

For a singer of Jiang Feng's caliber, the process of refining and polishing a song's quality will only take longer.

Two days is completely impossible; two months would be more likely.

However, Lin Xiao insisted.

Jiang Feng had no choice but to agree, since he genuinely liked the song.

Fortunately, his team was strong enough to work through the night to compose, record, and produce the music.

It was all done in one day.

The next step was to contact the platform and launch the product.

That makes it even simpler.

Given Jiang Feng's status in the music industry, even Tencent Music, a dominant player, had to give him face and put extra time to promote his new song overnight, releasing it at the exact time it was scheduled without any objections.

Penguin Music: Although I don't understand music, I can still calculate such a simple equation as Jiang Feng + Lin Xiao = sitting and counting money!

Faced with massive traffic and profits, all rules can be broken.

Ever since.

From the moment Lin Xiao took out the sheet music on the show to the song being released on Tencent Music, it took less than two days.

This speed is enough to apply for a world record.

Jiang Feng initially felt pressed for time, but when the song was finally released, he felt an unprecedented excitement.

He hadn't experienced this kind of tension, excitement, and anxiety for a long time.

For men, this occasional "loss of control" and "outburst" is a return to youth, something more precious than money, fame, or career.

Some people cheat not for sex, but to experience excitement and a racing heart, to rekindle passion in their stagnant lives, and to remind themselves that they are still alive.

Jiang Feng now felt as if he had "come back to life".

Therefore, he not only did not feel that Lin Xiao was setting him up, but was also very grateful to him for giving him this opportunity.

As a result, the Heavenly King became increasingly entangled.

He readily agreed to Lin Xiao's increasingly demanding requests without hesitation.

Then, Yizhou City officially announced that it would hold a "Rice Paddy Music Festival" during the National Day holiday, and announced that Jiang Feng, Lin Xiao, and Han Xixi would participate.

This wave has completely swept up the trending topics on major platforms.

Lin Xiao and Han Xixi were already a winning combination, but Jiang Feng's addition made it an even bigger winning combination.

After all, in terms of popularity, Jiang Tianwang may not be as popular as Lin Xiao and his wife, but in terms of status in the music industry, fan loyalty, and musical appeal, Jiang Feng is definitely top 0. Apart from that king from Taiwan, no one dares to challenge him.

In fact, with him alone, the lower limit of this music festival has already exceeded the upper limit of many professional music festivals.

In addition, there are Lin Xiao and Han Xixi.

With just three people, they have dozens of representative works, far surpassing all sorts of amateur performances with "a long list of names but no hit songs".

Therefore, the official announcement immediately went viral on the internet.

Yizhou, a little-known prefecture-level city that doesn't even rank among the top tourist destinations in the country, has suddenly become a popular choice for netizens' travel preferences.

Lin Xiao pulled this stunt, going to great lengths to drag Jiang Tianwang into the mess, with the ultimate goal of harvesting navel oranges in Xingguang Town.

But he also knew that Xingguang Town alone couldn't handle the combined buzz of National Day and the music festival. If they were to recklessly hold the music festival in Xingguang Town, something terrible would definitely happen.

A person should know their own limitations. You should only attempt to fit the size of the joint; a petite Asian woman like you shouldn't try to challenge a giant African...

Xingguang Town is a small town with only one two-lane road in and out, which can't even fit an electric car.

If we held the music festival here...

The swarms of netizens will definitely trample the small mountain town to pieces, and will cause unprecedented congestion, stampedes, and even casualties due to exceeding the road's capacity.

Then the gain outweighs the loss.

Therefore, Lin Xiao directly set the music festival venue in Yizhou.

In this way, there are no major problems with the capacity of transportation, accommodation, and catering, and the massive number of tourists can be absorbed within various scenic spots in Yizhou, and even cover major scenic spots throughout the province.

The whole world rejoices and everyone is overjoyed!
Of course, the number of customers in Xingguang Town is absolutely guaranteed.

After all, netizens have come all the way from other provinces, so how could they not go to "Mayor Lin's" workplace to get some attention?
Netizen: Since we're already here!
……

Tuesday, October 9th.

By the time people were leaving get off work, highways across the country were completely jammed, and major tourist cities were all on high alert, waiting for the influx of tourists.

The National Day holiday has begun with massive crowds.

This year's National Day holiday is a popular tourist destination, with Nanzhou holding a place in the whole province, and Yizhou being the most popular.

In fact, when it comes to famous historical sites and natural scenery, Nanzhou Province is a major player. Its nationally renowned natural and cultural attractions are no less than those of any other province or city. However, due to the scattered nature of its attractions, its underdeveloped economy, and inadequate promotion, coupled with the lack of a province-wide effort to create a popular city, its online attention is actually less than that of popular cities that rely solely on marketing.

The same applies to Nanzhou and Yizhou.

This National Day holiday, the entire province has turned the tide. Of course, whether this battle can be truly won depends on whether the capacity of various regions in the province to handle the situation can be adequate.

After all, the big test has only just begun, and the scores and winners will only be determined after the National Day holiday.

As the undisputed cultural and tourism ambassador of Nanzhou Province and the initiator of this Yizhou Rice Paddy Music Festival, he should be extremely busy during this National Day holiday.

But the fact is quite the opposite.

On the 30th, he left work on time and went home. He had a very leisurely dinner, and then took his wife and daughter out for a walk.

There was absolutely no sense of tension about facing the National Day test.

During the next seven-day holiday, apart from working the night shift at his workplace on the 2nd and attending a music festival performance in Yizhou on the 4th, he had no other plans or arrangements.

The same applies to all cadres in the town.

Aside from regular shift work, there is no extra work.

When everyone heard this arrangement before the holiday, they were stunned and could hardly believe their ears.

After all, judging from the current online buzz...

During this National Day holiday, the entire province became a popular tourist destination, and Xingguang Town became the most popular among them, which is a foregone conclusion.

Given such popularity, logically all town officials would be working overtime to receive and serve tourists and be ready to handle any issues.

After all, other units had done the same thing before, including Chaobai Town where Lin Xiao was the deputy mayor.

The cadres weren't even afraid of working overtime; they had long been mentally prepared.

As long as the town can develop and become more popular, I have absolutely no problem working a little harder.

However, everyone waited and waited, but the office did not issue any arrangements for working overtime.

It's the last workday.

The cadres couldn't sit still any longer and went to ask Yao Jun, the office director, about the situation.

Yao Jun shrugged: "I don't know. The mayor didn't say anything about arranging shifts or overtime."

Then, Yao Jun was pushed to go and ask Mayor Lin about the situation.

Unable to refuse, Yao Jun knocked on the mayor's office door before leaving get off work and stammered out the doubts of all the cadres.

Lin Xiao looked puzzled: "Overtime? Why do we have to work overtime?"

This question left Yao Jun speechless.

Director Yao thought to himself, "Didn't you organize the Yizhou Music Festival? Didn't you bring up the popularity of Xingguang Town? Now that netizens are about to flock here, you've suddenly become leisurely and relaxed."
Yao Jun laughed and said, "Mayor, I heard that when you were in Chaobai Town last year, you led all the town's cadres to work overtime during the May Day and National Day holidays to receive tourists and be ready to solve any problems they might have. Now... don't we need to do that?"

Lin Xiao then understood what Director Yao meant and burst into laughter.

He asked Yao Jun to sit down, and then asked, "Old Yao, in the six months since I joined the company, have I mentioned anything about developing tourism in Xingguang Town?"

Yao Jun was stumped by the question.

After a long pause, he shook his head.

That's possible, but it's really not.

On the first day of the town mayor's arrival, the whole town was looking forward to him bringing the development experience of Chaobai Town and his own popularity, so that Xingguang Town could be transformed from a poor and remote mountain village into a new popular tourist destination.

but.

Lin Xiao frankly admitted early on that Xingguang Town has mediocre natural scenery and lacks the resources and potential to develop tourism.

Yao Jun was certainly deeply impressed by this conclusion.

But no matter how Mayor Lin defines this matter, Xingguang Town's popularity and buzz have been rising day by day for the past six months.

The town is now teeming with tourists and overcrowded every day.

Furthermore, the fact that "Back to the Married Life" was filmed in Dafeng Village and then broadcast online generated immense buzz.

This left Yao Jun and all the cadres in a daze: Xingguang Town... has it caught the last train of tourism development?

That's why everyone is thinking of working overtime during the National Day holiday to ensure tourism services are provided.

However, Mayor Lin Xiao has now directly denied this.

This caught Yao Jun off guard, leaving him completely bewildered.

Lin Xiao realized he might be contradicting himself, so he laughed and asked, "Old Yao, let me ask you, if everyone stays to work overtime, what are you planning to have the managers do?"

Yao Jun tilted his head: "I'll volunteer! I'll help tourists solve any problems they have!"

Lin Xiao smiled and asked, "Be more specific, what problem do you want to solve?"

Yao Jun was stumped by the question, but he forced a smile and said, "For example, if we get lost, I can help guide everyone or something..."

Lin Xiao laughed: "Got lost? This place is so small, it takes less than half an hour to walk around it, how could you get lost?"

Yao Jun scratched his head, but said unconvinced, "Although the town is small, the villages are very big. What if tourists go to the villages? Besides, didn't you arrange for each village to set up navel orange picking gardens? Tourists will definitely go to the villages, so shouldn't we guide them?"

Lin Xiao laughed again: "The village cadres and villagers in each village are all ready to go, just waiting for tourists to spend money. They have all been instructed and trained before the festival, and the signs and markers are all ready. Do we need the town to send cadres to guide the way? The villagers are extremely enthusiastic about selling their oranges as soon as possible, so there is absolutely nothing to worry about."

These words left Yao Jun speechless. (End of Chapter)
