The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 434 A Song, A City
Lu Nanting's new album release this time is not intended to make money from vinyl records. The effort put into it is purely a benefit, a gift to fans to make up for the regret of not being able to invite everyone to the wedding.

As soon as the unboxing livestream ended, industry insiders immediately exclaimed:

[Leaving aside the effort put into the content, this huge box, packed full without a single gap, truly shows dedication. Having worked in this industry for almost twenty years, I can basically estimate the cost just by watching a live stream. After deducting production costs, shipping, and the money that needs to be shared with various partners, it's a good thing the couple doesn't make a single penny; they might even have to add their own money. It's truly a pure benefit.]

[My family specializes in high-end gift boxes. I've attached the price list below in case anyone doesn't understand. Let me put it this way: even with a minimum order of one million sets for this satin-finished, gold-stamped dragon and phoenix gift box, plus the complete inner packaging, the cost would still be at least sixty yuan per set.]

[Stop calculating! I'm going to cry if I keep doing it. Anyone in the doll collecting circle knows that those eight cotton dolls, if sold individually, would easily cost at least two hundred yuan.]

[And there are so many postcards, and the wedding photos are real laminated photos; it costs us 21 cents to print one of them.]

[The design is so clever, has no one thought about how much the designer cost? Hahaha.]

As for the design, I guess it was probably a free bonus from the packaging factory based on their requests?

……

With more people paying attention, their focus will inevitably shift.

Some people are eyeing the cost of the record gift box, trying to prove how sincere the couple is. Some fans have already started their sweet romance journey.

Lu Nanting had a fondness for unusual numbers, and information related to those numbers was immediately compiled:

[52 postcards, one for each photo set, plus 27 photos—it's so great to be a fan of this pair of lovestruck individuals. And, am I the only one who noticed the price? 257, 269, 12—I'm absolutely obsessed!!]

[For those who have received their orders, please measure the box and poster dimensions; I have a feeling there's something hidden. And don't forget, Gu, who's incredibly good at hiding things, is also involved this time. Think of the unicorn claw machine and the heart-shaped nail board. Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle!]

[The subtle romance between the characters makes this even more sweet and satisfying!!]

……

Putting aside all the ulterior motives, every single one of the ten songs on this album is made with great care.

Perhaps his skill level cannot be compared with the world's top creators, but in one aspect, Lu Nanting surpasses the whole world—he handles all the songs, from lyrics and composition to production, all by himself.

It was released right on Valentine's Day.

This is a singer's heartfelt gesture towards his newlywed wife.

His love was so sincere, so passionate.

Seriously, this kind of love is so admirable! I can't wait to see how Xi Bao will respond.

……

A flood of praise poured in.

Such a grand occasion was quite common for the Lanting couple.

Hua Shiyu didn't pay much attention.

She had a record player at home. After unpacking it and taking out the vinyl records, she prepared to play them.

As we walked, we explained to everyone how to preserve vinyl records and how to choose a record player.

"I'm afraid you'll think I'm selling products, so my record player won't be in the picture."

She only breathed a sigh of relief when the intro to the first song started:
"I'll leave the live streaming equipment here. I'm going to have dinner now. If you want to listen to the music, stay and listen to it and see how it differs from the sound quality of a digital album. I'll be doing a giveaway on Weibo later, so remember to participate if you'd like. As for the other sweet moments, I don't have time to sort them out right now. I'll study them carefully later and post them."

After saying that, he left without hesitation, completely disregarding the impact of the live stream.

Those who bought in-stock items are frantically updating the logistics progress, while those who bought pre-orders are crying out in despair as they watch the predicted delivery time in the backend system because of the extremely tight shipping schedule.

Fortunately, Lu Nanting's album is a limited-time offer with no quantity limit. It will be available for sale from February 14th to May 20th at 24:00, giving potential buyers ample time to decide.

Some clever ones have already obtained the poster and photo dimensions and started ordering custom-made four-fold screens and photo frames.

Those who were financially well-off even picked up record players.

Vinyl records are considered a niche item by many people; they are only collected by music enthusiasts and are not purchased by ordinary people.

Not to mention record players.

Many people don't even understand that vinyl records can only be played with a record player, and for a while, they are really overwhelmed by the choices.

This album, Lu Nanting's first slice-of-life album, records various interesting things in his life with Gu Lanxi. It's heartwarming yet emotionally charged, and easy to sing along to, making it a catchy tune that quickly became a hit upon release. Because every song is a love song Lu Nanting wrote specifically for Gu Lanxi, his new songs were chosen as background music for matchmaking events across the country on Valentine's Day, and it's said that many more couples have found common ground this year.

In just one week, the couple appeared on more than 300 trending topics, becoming incredibly popular.

In mid-to-late February, the weather in the south began to warm up.

Springtime is the perfect season for falling in love!
This sweet gift package, presented at the start of the year, has been well received by the public, especially by middle-aged and elderly people with single children, who have a very high level of goodwill towards the two of them!

As time went on, album sales continued to be a resounding success, with various data constantly breaking records. The impact of this success swept through the entire Chinese entertainment industry like a hurricane, and even spread to the world at an extremely fast pace!
These were all expected.

But Gu Lanxi never expected that someone would actually travel to Guangzhou specifically because of the song "Guangzhou".

The local government is also very good at capturing traffic. Not only did they quickly launch a special bus route for the Lanting couple to visit, but they also specially made a batch of orange-red signs with gold lettering and placed them in those special places.

For example, at the intersection where Gu Lanxi made her lifelong promise, the sign reads: "I will love you until the end of my life."

For example, at Liuhua Lake, next to the small square where couples can dance, there's a sign that reads: "[You can dance here with your loved one.]"

For example, the sign at the viewing platform on the west side of Mount Davis reads: "Come on, let's take some amazing photos."

In addition, a sign was specially set up to teach everyone what time of day in each season is best for capturing the blue hour, and what time of day is best for capturing the Canton Tower lighting up...

The family group chat was lively until the Lantern Festival. My cousin was complaining that her new boyfriend had just won her over and then took her on a special forces-themed stunt tour, covering the entire stunt route in one day.

"It's so crazy, I can't even imagine how crazy he would go if he knew about our relationship."

Gu Lanxi felt a little embarrassed when she received her cousin's sweet complaint.

Now, a rumor has started circulating among young couples: if newly dating couples go to the Lanting Express Line, their sweet and lasting relationship will surely last a long time.

This put Gu Lanxi under immense pressure, and one morning after waking up, she couldn't help but complain to Lu Nanting:
"I feel like I'm being put on the hot seat. What if we can't make it work out someday? Won't all the people who break up blame us?"

Lu Nanting woke up earlier than her, propped his head up and tilted his head to admire his wife's beautiful sleeping face for more than half an hour, and even took several beautiful photos of her in front of the rising sun outside the window.

As soon as this person opened his eyes, he started talking about the time clock hotline, and then, not only that, he added this sentence.

My mood was like bungee jumping; suddenly, I was down.

"Can't make it work? Why can't it make it work?"

Without saying a word, he pounced on it.

Poor Gu Lanxi stayed up with him until the wee hours last night, and just after waking up, she has to work overtime again.

At the slightest hint of refusal, Lu Nanting's face immediately fell.

Gu Lanxi had no choice but to hug him tightly and shower him with sweet words until she was exhausted, her back aching, her mouth dry, and she barely managed to coax him back to sleep.

The next morning, Gu Lanxi had just boarded a plane to Switzerland wearing a black turtleneck sweater and large sunglasses when Lu Nanting pulled out his phone and started posting on Weibo.

Can't make it?

Ah.

They're locked in! They absolutely must be locked in!!

It's said that a song can make a city famous.

The song "Chengdu" immediately came to mind.

In the world of the book, the Lanting couple did the same thing, which sounds very romantic.

Lu Dingliu is a die-hard CP fan of the two of them. He spends his days browsing the CP supertopic to learn about dating skills and enjoying watching the fan-made content created by the two. If the fans are lazy and don't work hard on data, he will pop up and give them some sweet moments.

Sigh, I want to ship this kind of couple too.

The kind of intense, life-or-death rivalry.

Hahaha.

It's a little early today.

Good night.
