Chapter 68 Jin Xia: Go listen to Teacher Chi’s first EP!

"I hope..."

Jin Sui Fengmu looked out the window for a long time before saying, "The company's film and television projects are also ready to start."

"Film and television are ultimately stronger than music, so we need to transform."

"..." Sister Zhang paused and probed: "Xia Xia, can you star in our company's first project?"

Jin Sui raised her neck and shook her head without hesitation: "Xia Xia can take pictures of whatever she wants. As her aunt, if I go... to find her? If the people at home see me, they will laugh at me to death."

Sister Zhang: "..."

Just keep on being stubborn for a few more years, and then you really will have to wait a while.

"Go do it."

"it is good."

……

In the next few days, Ikeno was busy running back and forth between the recording studio and the crew.

I vomited after flying, but fortunately the production of the EP is progressing well.

Three days later, the first versions of the melodies for several songs had been completed. At the same time, the creative team also made a first version of the theme and cover of "Restart".

After seeing it, Ikeno was quite satisfied.

The EP covers are actually very similar, and he personally doesn't take it too seriously.

On the fourth day, Ikeno changed the recording studio.

Because the ace singer from Xiangjiang Jinsui Company has arrived in Beijing and wants to use this studio.

The progress of Chi Ye's team is now nearing completion, and there haven't been too many disturbances. Chi Ye didn't tell this matter to Mr. Lafayette - if he bothered Mr. Lafayette with everything, it would make him look like a Phoenix Man...but he shouldn't be, right?
All in all, the production of the EP went smoothly, even faster than expected.

A week later.

Three days after the official conclusion of "See You", the first satellite TV edited version was finally available on Mango TV.

On that day, Ikeno remained motionless for a long time, and his slowly increasing popularity began to "explode".

As expected, the hot search term #池野今夏# appeared on the hot search list.

Fans of Xia Yu and CP are partying by the pool.

Lafayette sent him a follow-up question: [Is the full version recorded? Teacher Chi, I want to hear it!]

[It’s coming soon, I’ll let you know as soon as possible. 】

Ikeno comforted the little girl.

From the first day of recording, although the old lady was not there in person, her soul had already flown here, which resulted in the last few episodes of "See You" being criticized by black fans and black marketing for several days, saying that she was unprofessional and unfocused.

Although it is a bit...but so what?
Ikeno is just like this, treating people unfairly, especially when it comes to matters concerning the old lady.

【Okay then, if you encounter any difficulties, remember to tell me! 】

【OK. 】

The two ended their conversation, and Ikeno put down his phone, listening to Director Zhang's calls and the sounds of the crew members moving around.

Now I am really facing some difficulties.

The EP will be officially launched in about a week, and there shouldn't be too many surprises.

But before the EP is released, according to the convention of releasing an album, it would be better for him to appear on a few popular music variety shows or grand events to promote "Restart" and advertise his first EP.

——Just like New Year’s Eve.

But it's a pity, because he had no singer's "attributes" and resources before, and popular music variety shows are popular projects that everyone will compete for.

He asked his team to try to communicate with several variety show directors, but the responses they received were disappointing.

Ikeno? Who is Ikeno? Is he a singer?

However, neither Karl Lagerfeld nor Jin Sui have such connections or relationships in the mainland.

"Boss Chi, Hua Yichen performed the title song of his album at Weibo Night yesterday, and he will officially release his first album of the new year at noon today."

Assistant Xiao Liu has entered the working state, reporting on the current situation of several "opponents".

Of course... maybe others don't regard Ikeno as an opponent now.

"Ah, isn't he a regular on two popular music variety shows? He even appeared on Weibo Night. He's really working hard."

Ikeno knew the news yesterday, but he still couldn't help but sigh. The mage really tried his best to promote himself in order to defeat Yu Yan once... What a leek.

As for the Weibo Night held yesterday, Ikeno did not receive an invitation for some reasons.

It's not surprising. After all, Yuena has been secretly keeping an eye on him. It is estimated that in the two days when he releases his album, all kinds of negative marketing press releases will be circulated.

"Yu Yan's team still ignored him this time, but his fan group is very active."

Xiao Liu paused and said, "They really want to touch Yu Yan."

Ikeno: "Indeed, I'm familiar with this. I also like to scam people."

Xiao Liu: "..."

Hua Yichen is a top star among the younger generation in the domestic music scene, but in the entire circle, he is not considered a big top star.

Yu Yan is the top star in the entire domestic entertainment industry.

At the same time, he is also an idol. Although he is not focusing on the music route now, as long as he releases a song, it will definitely be No. 1 on the three major platforms, and most of them will even be on the historical sales list.

Hua Yichen considered himself the "number one of the younger generation" in the music industry, so naturally he hated Yu Yan with a vengeance.

Fans of both sides have also been in a "hostile" (bumping into porcelain) stage.

As soon as Hua Yichen releases a song, whether he likes it or not, Yu Yan will be attacked, and then... he will crush and defeat Teacher Hua.

When Hua's fans are repeatedly abused, they will spend money like crazy to buy albums. The album sales of the two have always been at the "top of the music scene."

"Then I'll try my hand at it too. In this regard, I'm not exaggerating, but they all have to step back a bit!"

Ikeno thought for a long time and decided to take the initiative.

What's the point of waiting for Yue Na to come and "beat" me?
Since there are no major events now and the music variety show cannot be promoted, it would be better to use what I am best at, marketing, and try to hit Teacher Hua hard first.

——If there is no publicity channel, then I will be the publicity channel myself!

Now that the studio has reserved some funds for marketing, he won't be polite in this regard.

So, starting from that night, the news began to spread on the Internet that the EP that Ikeno spent three years to create for himself during his time at Yuena was about to be released.

The quality is off the charts, everyone who heard it said it was good!

It is said that after hearing this, Teacher Hua praised: Ikeno will be the father of the Chinese music scene from now on!

Various marketing accounts pushed videos and soft articles, and there was a name like Ikeno that was born with "traffic", and Hua Yichen was also added.

The popularity gradually increased, but Hua Yichen's team was furious!

If you are not my brother, how can you be so shameless?
I've heard it all before, and everyone agrees? Do I have a goddamn ear? Have we met before?!

Hua Yichen has always been proud of his traffic, and what he hates most is others trying to scam him, not to mention that this person is the "number one person on the blacklist" of Yuena headquarters.

For a moment, he was furious, and the next day at an offline promotional meeting, he was "reminded" by fans: "Huahua, don't be a leek!"

Hua Yichen was stunned, pretending not to hear and whispered: "What did you say?!"

"Huahua, don't be a leek like someone who isn't a singer!"

"Not eating what?" "Not eating leeks!"

On that day, #池野伽韭菜# became a hot search term and directly entered the top five.

No need to look, definitely buy it.

The short video of Hua Yichen’s promotional meeting is also going viral.

Ever since Ikeno announced the release of an EP on New Year's Eve, the topic of the EP has finally been completely ignited.

Chi Ye was very satisfied with the current situation. He felt that Hua Yichen was a good person and very cooperative. When he touched him lightly, he reacted as if in an emergency and hit him back hard.

How can it not be considered a form of propaganda?

"But Brother Chi... most of the comments are scolding us... Does this really have any effect?"

Xiao Liu had heard Ikeno sing and was amazed at the boss's "hidden talent", but this was the first time she had encountered a situation where she was "blacklisted by the entire Internet."

In response, Ikeno said: "This is just the beginning. How can this be considered black? It's too gentle."

Xiao Liu: "..."

"For him, it's not really black."

Director Zhang came over at some point and jokingly said, "Our teacher Chi has seen big scenes before. Compared to those scenes, this is just like acting like a spoiled brat."

Xiao Liu said nothing, but continued to be shocked.

"By the way, when is your EP going to be released? I'll support you by giving you one."

Director Zhang is a very righteous person.

Although Ikeno's EP and "Cycle" are not mutually exclusive, it has to be said that as a result of Ikeno's efforts, "Cycle" has also gained some popularity.

Why isn't it considered the hero's contribution?

Chi Ye glanced at him and said, "Just one?"

"...What else?" Director Zhang wondered, "Not many of our relatives have encountered dirty things, otherwise I might consider buying a few more."

Chiye: "?"

Ran Qiao was passing by with a thermos cup in hand. He stopped when he heard the sound and asked curiously: "Will there be a cassette record? I like retro cassettes."

Chi Ye smiled: "Ran Ran is still sensible. Are you going to buy a few hundred tickets to support your brother Chi?"

Ran Qiao: "No, who would spend money to suffer? What I mean is, if you release it, give me a copy. Many singers don't release physical records now, so I'll use it to make up the number."

Ikeno turned and walked away: "I'm done with my friends, you're all so mean, I won't say another word to you."

Everyone: "..."

Director Zhang looked at Xiao Liu hesitantly and said, "Your boss doesn't really think you're a talented singer, does he?"

Xiao Liu also turned around and left quietly: "I also think you are going too far."

"I'm just kidding. I'll definitely support you with hundreds of tickets when the time comes. Look at you, you can't afford it."

Director Zhang kept muttering to himself and hurriedly chased after him to "comfort" Ikeno.

"Tsk tsk...wherever Xiao Chi is, it's always lively." Teacher Liu, who was not far away, saw this and shook his head and sighed, "This is the first crew I joined this year. It's great."

"How many are you going to support?" Teacher Fang next to him smiled.

"I don't understand young people's music...but I'll book a whole theater...well, for the kids to listen to."

Teacher Fang was surprised: "Aren't you afraid that the kids will jump up and hit you?"

"Look at you, you may not listen to it even if you buy it. Just support your friend." Teacher Liu smiled and then turned and left.

"Then I'll book the whole place too... Xiaochi is a nice place." Of course, Teacher Fang wouldn't say that she wanted to "book the whole place" just for Jin Xia's sake.

——Rumor has it in the industry that they’re going to do a big shopping spree on the day Ikeno releases his EP this summer!

I don’t know if it’s true or false.

……

In this way, time passes.

The next day, Hua Yichen's first album of the new year, "First Encounter", was released.

When it was first released, it immediately entered the top ten of the digital album sales charts of the three major platforms that month, and soon reached fifth place.

Within two minutes of its release, sales exceeded 30 copies, with a sales revenue of 700 million.

In less than 24 hours, the album sold 2700 million copies.

The exaggerated sales figures and various record-breaking large posters topped the Weibo hot search list that day, and also dominated the hot searches on the three major platforms.

It has to be said that in the era of digital albums, you can say that the music industry has declined, but those with the highest traffic are making money at a fast pace.

The voting and album sales in the digital album era are completely different from those in the record era years ago.

In the domestic entertainment industry, the most authoritative charts and channels in the music industry are the three major platforms.

That is: QQ Music, NetEase Cloud Music, and Kuting Music.

The three major platforms occupy more than 95% of the domestic entertainment music market. The normal process for all singers to release singles and albums is to release them on the three major platforms together.

Of course, those who have signed exclusive copyright contracts do not count.

Ikeno's "Restart" was collaborated with NetEase Cloud Music and Kuting. As for why QQ Music is not included... those who understand will understand.

This time, Hua Yichen's fans and team must have been determined to surpass Yu Yan, so they put in a lot of effort. The album sold 700 million copies within two minutes of its release, breaking Hua Yichen's personal record.

But it is still not enough compared to the terrifying sales volume of Yu Yan who can just release an album and enter the top ten of the overall chart.

Fans continued to spend money to buy the product as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Just then, another heavyweight top star passed away at the beginning of the year.

——Shi Jinqian…Shi Jinwei released her first EP, “Sunlit Reveries”, at the beginning of the year.

As one of the four little beauties and the only one with a name in the music scene, Sister Qianzi sold 20 copies of her EP as soon as it was released.

And unlike Hua Yichen, passers-by and ordinary fans will buy into her music.

In other words, the aftereffect is stronger.

So 24 hours later, the sales of "Sunlit Reveries" reached over 3000 million, which directly crushed Mr. Hua's deliberate outbreak, and it is still continuing to rise.

As of the day before the second episode of "See You" was broadcast, the sales of Shi Jin's EP had reached 4500 million, which is terrifying.

And it was on this day that Ikeno's team's work was finally completed perfectly.

His first EP "Restart" is scheduled to be officially released at 12 noon tomorrow.

As it happens, tomorrow is the second episode of "See You," which happens to include a clip of Karl Lagerfeld drinking Coke...

"Get out of the way, I'm going to start showing off."

On the set of "Loop", Ikeno communicated with his assistant on the phone and confirmed that NetEase Cloud Music and Kuting Music had proofread the master tape, mix and copyright, and that it could be put online at any time. Then he opened his Weibo, which he had not updated for a long time.

I posted a simple blog post: [Tomorrow at noon, my first personal EP "Restart" will be released for you.]

The "you" here refers to the fans who have always been with him and will persist in voting for him and fighting against the black fans no matter how many rumors there are outside.

The post on Weibo saw a surge in comments, and even Lao Lafayette, who had been waiting for this moment, immediately reposted it with the caption: [@Chiye, Mr. Chi’s first EP is so good! Go listen to it now!!]
