Chapter 69: Restart

This Weibo post from Jin Xia attracted more attention and traffic than any post by Ikeno personally.

Especially since the first episode of "See You" was a huge success, fans of the #池畔夏语# CP have gradually become more and more popular.

Of course, there are also fans who said that Jin Xia has changed and become unfamiliar to them!

"Xia Xia! It's you again!"

"Go listen now, go listen now!"

"Don't worry, dear girl, Mommy will be there soon."

"Jin Xia, wake up, you're not really talking to me, are you?!"

"I'm kind of losing interest in you. Just to promote an obscure celebrity, you've been repeatedly punished. Don't you care about your own reputation at all?"

"The whole world knows that Ikeno's singing is deadly, but you let your fans 'die'."

"I'm going to stop following you and turn against you. If you don't unfollow Huye, I won't follow you."

Looking at the comments with the highest number of likes, Karaoke felt angry, annoyed and aggrieved, because several of them were big accounts and were her old fans who were very familiar to her.

She wanted to delete the comment, but Sister Mi stopped her immediately: "Just post one, what else do you want to do? Do you want me to top up your account so you can buy several music platforms and then change the data so he surpasses Yu Yan?"

Jin Xia: “…”

“You don’t understand!”

"Yes, yes, we don't understand. You're the only one who understands, Sister Dong." Sister Mi had a headache: "Let me tell you, what you just said is absolutely not right. Hong Kong is in such a mess. You're going to help your aunt. Have you ever considered your own career?"

"No, this is absolutely not possible!"

"..."

……

at the same time.

Happiness and noise belong to others, loneliness and frustration belong to this year.

This year I really feel so unlucky.

Back when she was at her peak, several bigwigs in Hong Kong would bow and scrape to her whenever they saw her.

Even some of her relatives from that time often asked her for "resources and money."

As time went by, she never imagined that one day she would fall to this point.

Is it true that without the support of my family, there is really no way out for me to work hard on my own?

She was unwilling to give up and stared at the album sales report, popularity analysis and other materials that Sister Zhang had just sent her.

Mental explosion.

——Huang Yixiu’s first album released in mainland China ended in a dismal state with almost no one paying attention to it.

Not to mention defeating Hua Yichen before the "war", he couldn't even beat several other mainland singers who released songs in December last year.

So far, one week after the album was released, Huang Yixiu’s total sales on the three major platforms have reached 1500 million.

This is just the accumulation of a week. This year, I mobilized a lot of my personal resources and connections to spend money on it.

Come to think of it, since he has no fan base to begin with, it’s already pretty good to have achieved this result.

But... Hua Yichen’s album sales exceeded 24 million in 2700 hours!

Now it has reached 3500 million, a gap of million.

Not to mention Shi Jinwei who is above her, stop talking nonsense, we really need to step back a little this time.

She was taught a hard lesson by the domestic entertainment industry this time, and her head was a little dizzy - and after seeing Jin Xia's Weibo post, she was even more dizzy.

"What is Xia Xia doing... Alas, she never paid attention to these things before, why is she so active this time?"

Sister Zhang next to her was speechless: I didn’t pay attention to it before, but I pay attention to it now. Do I still need to ask?

Of course it's because of someone.

"Well... I think this result is pretty good, Mr. Sui. At least our album didn't lose money, and we expect to make a lot of money."

Jinsui shook his head and said: "What I want is not to make money, but to open up the mainland market."

Sister Zhang: "...take your time, this is what happens when you enter late."

"Do you also think I was too conservative back then..."

Sister Zhang didn't say anything.

"Oh, forget it." Jin Sui waved her hand. Jin Xia's Weibo post reminded her of Chi Ye: "Chi Ye...is the album recording going well? We changed the studio, didn't you say anything?"

"He probably didn't tell Xia Xia." Sister Zhang said, "He already announced it would be released tomorrow, so it should be finished by now."

Jinsui nodded and gave his first "praise": "Then he still has some conscience and temper."

Sister Zhang: "..."

"Well, now that you've finished recording it, why not give it a listen? After all, we helped with it. If the quality is too poor, we'll have to fix it."

"This Chi Ye is really something. He just posts it without any hesitation. Didn't he say that it should be revised word by word?"

Jinsui thought carefully: "We can't let the company's reputation be damaged again."

Sister Zhang nodded: "Okay, then I'll tell the team over there."

"Row."

Sister Zhang acted quickly, but Chi Ye's team was confused.

Yes, from the time they made the EP with Ikeno until now, they have been in a confused and busy state the whole time.

Although Ikeno's various advance preparations have shortened the production cycle of "Restart" as much as possible, everyone is still busy and dizzy - because Ikeno has set a time limit and everything must be completed before the end of the month.

So after receiving the call from Hong Kong, everyone took a while to understand what was going on.

I hurriedly sent the completed version of "Restart" to the Hong Kong headquarters via computer, and gave a stern reminder: "Be baptized by the heavenly sound!"

Sister Zhang: “?”

After receiving the EP, she was not in a hurry and prepared to find Mr. Sui to "listen to it".

But unfortunately, someone from the film and television department came to discuss something, so I had to wait for another hour. Jin Sui finally returned to the office tiredly: "What?"

"Um...don't you want to listen to Ikeno's EP?"

Sister Zhang's expression was very strange at this time. She seemed to want to say something, but didn't know what to say. There was still a hint of astonishment and disbelief in her eyes.

"Ok?"

Jin Sui keenly caught her expression and was very surprised: "What's wrong with you?"

"Um...would you like to listen to it yourself?"

Jinsui looked at her: "Listen for yourself?"

"Listen carefully with professional equipment."

Sister Zhang suggested: "I just tried it, and it felt... quite amazing."

Jinsui's curiosity was finally piqued: "How could it be so unpleasant?"

Sister Zhang said nothing, but took Jin Sui to a listening room that the company had spent a huge amount of money to build and gestured, "Let's get started."

The staff member who had been prepared nearby nodded and started playing a random song from "Restart".

——《Laughing Eyes》

A melodious tune sounded, the accompaniment was cheerful and delicate, but also hinted at a sense of inexplicable regret.

I was stunned this year.

Just by listening to the accompaniment, she felt refreshed and her ears were caught.

Then, a familiar yet unfamiliar male voice sounded.

His voice was clear yet mellow, delicate and slightly hoarse, as if he was recalling a story of sadness and longing in a calm tone:
"If it weren't for the mirror not looking like you and not hiding secrets" "I still refuse to believe that my smile is more beautiful without you"

"I heard you on the phone that day, with a hint of apology and concern"

"My beep is more thorough than your breaking up."

After singing the first four lines of the main song, Jinsui's computer crashed on the spot and he looked at Sister Zhang with a confused look on his face.

Sister Zhang spread out her hands and gestured: I don’t even know who sang this!

The second verse continues:
"Wash the clothes soaked with tears and dry the memories in the sun"

"I've folded up my sadness, and from tomorrow I'll only go out with happiness"

“Although this city of love is crowded, if I really meet you”

"Don't be surprised, she can't replace my smile"

Ikeno's singing became more passionate and her emotions more intense:
"Only after I left you did I discover my own smiling eyes~"

"The tears that flowed are like a storm that cannot be avoided"

"Wet yesterday deleted"

"Only after leaving you did I find myself~those smiling eyes"

"Goodbye love, I will let myself make the decision"

"..."

This year fell into silence.

But her silence did not last long, and soon the songs included in the EP, such as "Sunshine in the Cracks", "When You", and "The First Dream", were played in sequence.

The mood that she had just tried to sort out was completely disrupted. She stood in the room a little "at a loss", with only Chi Ye's voice echoing in her ears.

Sister Zhang was a little surprised - under normal circumstances, the proud little Qiansui would sit elegantly on the soft sofa, listening to the songs with a look of contempt or disdain, and making sharp comments.

how to say?

She personally feels that it’s mainly the contrast!
That's what she did just now anyway.

I don’t know how long it took, but the EP was played in full loop and the luxuriously equipped listening room fell silent again.

Jinsui suddenly woke up and wondered, "Why don't you continue to release it?"

"Boss Sui, it's over."

"That's all?!" Jinsui said, then realized it and said awkwardly, "Well... I mean, why did Chi Ye only release an EP? Why didn't he just release an album?"

Everyone: "..."

"..." Jin Sui came back to his senses and held his forehead: "Wait a minute, I'll slowly... um..."

Sister Zhang answered for her: "Boss Sui, it seems we're not completely dead yet this time. We still have a chance..."

"Do not."

Jin Sui raised his head, his phoenix eyes blazing with anger: "I understand that Chi Ye wrote other songs, but what does 'When You' mean? How could he write such a song for Xia Xia!"

"And this 'Laughing Eyes', this isn't right. This Chi Ye is not clean. Did he have a girlfriend before?"

"This bastard is not a good person! He's exposed!"

Sister Zhang was stunned: "Huh?"

Mr. Sui, could you please stop being such a niece slave?
……

That night, Xiangjiang Guangying Shimeng Company urgently contacted the three major platforms, requesting that the recommendation resources of "Restart" be raised to the highest level of Huang Yixiu's previous albums.

QQ Music remained silent and simply refused.

The other two major platforms are straightforward - as long as you pay, I can do anything.

Ikeno himself didn't know that at the last minute, Hong Kong would actually "take the initiative" to provide him with resources.

Therefore, as they were still unclear about the details, they did not respond to Hong Kong's request to purchase the copyright of the "EP".

——He is busy filming and releasing music now!
The next day, 12 noon.

The crew of "Loop".

While eating, Chi Ye officially released his first EP on his Weibo in front of Director Zhang, Ran Qiao and others.

At the same time, his EP "Restart" was launched on two major platforms, both of which were given the highest-end large-picture cover.

#Chiye's "Restart"##Hua Yichen praised it##Album released#Struggling through the trough, groping in the darkness, I finally found the strength to restart. This "Restart" EP is my rebirth. Every note is my farewell to the past; every melody is my hope for the future. I hope it will accompany you on your journey through life, so that you can bravely press the restart button and write your own wonderful chapter.

After it was published, the comments exploded.

"Brother!! It's finally posted!"

"I'll go buy it right now!"

"Earplugs are sold in the front row. Please buy earplugs when you buy the album for your safety."

"Stop being a stalker, it's time to be a fan!"

"Have some shame, you're a singer? You're just releasing an album. What was your singing level like when you were an idol? Don't you have any idea?"

"I give up. Can you please not use those flowery terms? Are you addicted to scamming people?"

"Huahua's fans, please join me in reporting this Weibo post! It's suspected of fraud and murder!"

Hua Yichen's fans were furious about Ikeno's yet another attempt to scam people.

Originally, when Huahua released her album this time, she didn’t hit Yu Yan… She didn’t even hit Shi Jinwei, an actor who only worked on music, so she was angry.

As a result, Ikeno is still trying to scam Huahua again and again.

Isn't this just asking to be scolded?

All of a sudden, Huahua's fans started to form a team under Chiye's Weibo, but they soon found something wrong - why are Chiye's fans so powerful?
Can't beat it!

Ikeno's fans are now definitely one man who can defeat a million soldiers. Seeing people making trouble under Ikeno's Weibo, they all put their full efforts into participating in the competition.

Huahua’s fans haven’t entered the venue in an organized group yet, and since they can’t win, they just come to the big squares and flood the screen with messages.

"Is Ikeno even worthy of being a human being? The official doesn't care about such an obvious leek? @XXXOfficial"

"Resist the idiots! Resist the habitual publicity stuntmen!"

"@QQ Music is doing great. I suggest @Net Depression Music and @KuTing Music learn from them!"

"@NetEase Cloud Music @KuTingMusic, if you don't remove his songs today, I will uninstall your apps!"

"I listened to the new song. You call it a song? I almost got sent away. Sisters, start brushing it!"

"..."

Various messages from Huahua’s fans began to appear in major squares, but after a long time, they discovered something was wrong again - with such a big event, why didn’t any passers-by come out to "help" them?

Considering Hu Ye’s reputation, isn’t this a perfect opportunity to smear him?
Something is wrong. What happened?
……

When Ikeno released his EP this time, few people forwarded it. Only Laofaye, like yesterday, actively forwarded it and wrote: [Good, good, good, good! ]

While the little girl continued to receive a wave of negative press releases, no one else did... maybe she was too obscure and no one paid attention to her.

However, Chi Ye was not worried because he had just received news that the recommended resources provided by the two major platforms seemed to have been upgraded.

With the quality of his EP + this kind of resources, and the black news traffic contributed by Hua Yichen and Yue Na's friendship outside the venue.

If he still can't take off, he might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill himself.

"Come on, let's continue. I'm ready."

Ikeno stood up, finished her makeup, and prepared to continue filming "Loop".

Everyone around looked at him in surprise.

Director Zhang waved his hand and said, "Don't rush to start work. I'll have everyone in the crew buy a copy of your EP first!"
