Chapter 71 Punch the Mage, Kick the Pliers (4000 monthly tickets plus more)

Everyone: "..."

Stay silent.

Chi Ye was confused: "No, what do you mean?!"

"You don't really think I wrote this one word at a time?!"

Bang!

Suddenly, Director Zhang slapped his thigh, stood up, and waved his hand: "Come on, props team, get all the speakers out. Play my good brothers' songs for me during dinner! On repeat!"

Everyone: "?!"

"okay!"

The person in charge of the props team reacted and immediately went over to move things.

Chiye: "..."

"Not at all, really not at all!"

He was a little embarrassed.

Although he does sing well...but why does it feel like he's suddenly socially dead?

"What's not to the point!"

Director Zhang pushed him down, his face serious: "Teacher Chi! You, you, you are just too modest, too fond of hiding things!"

He waved his hand and roared, "Who doesn't know that you are the one I am most optimistic about?"

"Otherwise, would I drag you into performing 'The Cycle' when you were nothing?"

Chiye: "?"

"'Loop' seems like something I fought for by going to Scream Night on my own..."

"Hey! Hey! Don't talk nonsense, you can't say that."

Director Zhang frowned and turned to look at the photographer who was shooting the behind-the-scenes footage: "Let's cut that part and do it again!"

"I'll post the behind-the-scenes footage later... No, today, right after filming. I'll post it on the official Weibo as soon as I'm done filming. I have to give it a try!"

"OK Director, I understand."

The photographer nodded quickly and signaled to take another shot.

Chiye: "..."

Director Zhang, you are really not a good person!
"Ahem... As a buddy, I'm really happy for you."

Director Zhang signaled to play, and the song "Sunshine in the Cracks" immediately rang out...

Chiye: "..."

Fuck you, can you be any more outrageous?!

Are you willing to give up your reputation just for a promotional video?
Director Zhang: "No."

He and Ikeno "re-shot" another behind-the-scenes shot, and then personally took charge of it, @Ikeno on the official Weibo of "Loop", and ## all the hot search terms about "Restart" - his mentor Yangzi!
release:

Today's set highlights: Shy Teacher Chi and enthusiastic everyone.jpg [Director Zhang Qiang hugs Chi Ye for a photo]

The response was enthusiastic.

"Brother!! Focus on filming!"

"I'm your career fan now!"

"Sounds good, sounds good!"

"Everyone, let's work together to boost sales! If an EP of this quality doesn't make it to the top, the Chinese entertainment industry will be finished!"

"Director Zhang, treat my brother well. I'll follow you later!"

"Tsk tsk, it has to be you. You really have the physique to be a hot search."

Director Zhang looked at the comments shamelessly, feeling very satisfied.

Ikeno: "...You'd better not go too far. Can you please turn it off?!"

"I still need to shoot a video. I'll turn it off when I'm done. I'll turn it off when I'm done."

Director Zhang pressed him down again, then instructed, "Come on, turn up the volume! I've already thought of a title for this behind-the-scenes video: [The 'Loop' crew collectively celebrates Teacher Chi's birthday!]"

"Why is it a birthday celebration?" Ran Qiao was curious.

"Because - 'Reboot'!" Director Zhang laughed.

"Hahaha."

The scene was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Only Chi Ye had a frown on his face, listening to his own voice in his ear... and gnashing his teeth secretly.

So fucking shameful!

……

next door.

The crew of "Deep Sea".

The noise from "Loop" next door was so loud that the crew of "Deep Sea" who were also having lunch could hear the "deafening" music.

They looked at each other, all confused and speechless.

"What's the big deal? It's just someone from the crew trending on social media... They're making it like the Spring Festival Gala."

"That's right, our sister Shi also released an album."

"By the way, where's Sister Shi?"

Everyone was talking sourly, but when they turned around, they found that Shi Jinwei, who was there just now, had "disappeared".

Where did she go?
At this moment, Shi Jinwei was standing outside the crew, listening to "Sunshine in the Cracks" playing on the "Loop" channel next door. It was hard to tell what was on her face, but she hadn't spoken for a long time.

"Sister Shi..."

The assistant came over and said, "Don't worry, I just checked, our album sales are still increasing. The album ultimately depends on sales. He's just a hot topic right now."

"Maybe... he's just fixing the sound. Even if he can write such good lyrics and music, can he also sing it so well?"

Shi Jinwei still didn't say anything.

"Sister Shi..."

"Don't talk, I want to listen!"

Shi Jinwei interrupted unhappily: "Chi Ye seems to be singing in public... Stop making noise!"

“Let me listen to the live version…”

assistant:"……"

What a pair of pliers! I have served you for so long... but it’s not as good as a song... Woohoo.

“Is it being sung live…?”

On this side, Shi Jinwei frowned more and more as she listened. She wanted to run over to "Cycle" to take a look... but then she thought - it was too damn embarrassing.

Forget it.

"Humph."

She came back to her senses and said stubbornly: "It's okay, just like that."

"What did you just say? What happened to our sales?"

"Very good, very good!"

The assistant reacted: "Good news! Hua Yichen only has 3600 million now, and we've already reached 4700 million!"

"That's a full ten million. His fanbase should have reached its limit. We still have a lot of casual fans... and your fans, too."

The Four Little Flowers are worthy of being called the Four Little Flowers. As the only one among the Four who has a singing career, Shi Jinwei has a strong fan base and even has passers-by as listeners.

So Hua Yichen could only surpass her at the beginning by relying on the enthusiasm of his fans, but it was very difficult to really beat her.

"Fifty million is a hurdle. I hope I can reach that this time."

Shi Jin shook his head slightly and returned to the crew of "Deep Sea".

Since her debut, only two of her albums have exceeded 50 million in sales, and it took a long time before they achieved that.

She has a great chance this time, the quality of "Restart" seems to be... good, but Ikeno was too obscure before, with not many fans and poor sales, so all that is just empty talk.

Well… he must not have sold many copies!
If he's taller, then what's the point of me looking down on him before?!
Do I have to take a detour every time I see Jin Xia from now on?! Humph, impossible!
On the contrary, her sales were really good this time.

It should be breakable, right?
Shi Jin didn’t know whether the pliers were broken or not, but Yue Na’s were broken at this moment.

Yue Na Music Division.

The president held up his phone and yelled, "Who said Chi Ye couldn't sing?! Fuck, tell me, this is called not being able to sing?!"

"Aren't you just treating us like idiots?! How do you guys in the agency department do things?"

"Don't curse first, Lao Li, what are you so anxious about?"

Over in the agency department, Ge Shuang's former boss, now a senior executive who had been demoted several levels, frowned: "Do you think we aren't upset? Who could have imagined that this guy is such a good actor!"

"No, I don't understand." Old Li was surprised. "You guys in the agency department are all idiots. We've been signed for so many years, don't you know what his business capabilities are?" "When he first joined the company, I thought he was good and wanted to come to the branch, but you refused to let him go... Now you deserve to be demoted. Your judgment is really poor."

Former boss: "..."

Fuck you, how dare you talk to me like that before I was demoted?

With the current state of the entertainment industry, what's the status of your music department?!

"What do you think we should do now? The company created this album for Hua Yichen, originally intending to win awards and boost sales. You're well aware of the headquarters' plans. If they want to go public, the music has to be decent..."

"Now that this has happened, there's negative news again..."

"It's okay, it's okay. I know what you're going to say." His former boss couldn't hold back any longer. "He's definitely not going to be able to surpass those sales figures. How many fans does he have? In this day and age, how many people are willing to spend money to buy albums in bulk?"

"We're already dealing with the negative news... Let's leave it at that for now and observe the sales. It should be fine. Our targets are Shi Jinwei and Yu Yan!"

The two hung up the phone.

Music Department.

Hua Yichen stood beside him with a gloomy face, not saying a word.

"what do you say?"

"...He must have fixed the sound, or hired someone to write for him. He can't write a song of this quality!"

Teacher Hua already felt that his position as the father was no longer secure and was very anxious.

The music department boss: "..."

"Just focus on sales. As long as this aspect is fine, everything else is trivial."

He waved his hand, signaling the Yuena team to keep an eye on sales changes.

……

at the same time.

"What about sales? What's the current sales of Reboot?!"

Hong Kong.

Light and shadow pick up dreams.

I was quite "nervous" this year and kept asking questions to Sister Zhang and other music department executives.

Everyone: "..."

"Boss Sui, this isn't our company's album... why are you so anxious?"

"Ugh... well... how can I not be anxious?" Jin Sui swallowed back his curse words. "Even if we don't get any money, as long as 'Reboot' is a hit, the company's reputation will be established. What if there's a turnaround?"

"Ikeno recorded the song in our studio, and our team helped produce it!"

And…who says I can’t get paid?

Xia Xia received the money, isn’t that equivalent to me receiving it?
Humph.

This year snorted coldly.

Everyone lowered their heads and looked around.

"Come out, come out."

A staff member hurriedly said, "This is the data for the hour... Um... About 10 copies sold... EP sales are around 350 million."

"Ah... only 350 million?"

This year I look disappointed.

Hua Yichen's album lasted two minutes and sales exceeded 700 million.

Ikeno 350 million per hour...

Only enough to buy Yichen for one minute...

"No, that's not the case, Mr. Sui. You're too impatient."

The staff explained: "These 3.5 million were earned before word of mouth spread, without the help of QQ Music, the largest platform... In other words, these 3.5 million were all paid for by Ikeno's own fans... How obscure is he! The fans' purchasing power is so strong..."

"This is incredible! He's made so much money just from fans, and it hasn't even been a single day!"

"..."

I suddenly realized it this year.

Yes, Ikeno has come to this point. To be honest, Ikeno didn’t have many fans before - because he didn’t have any works that made him speak with the most confidence as an artist!
It is rare to maintain one's status solely by relying on one's looks.

After a wave of heavy fan abuse, his fans' motivation became stronger, but the increase in number was actually not that much.

From this perspective, the current purchasing power of Ikeno fans is indeed a bit scary.

Three and a half million an hour, that means at least ten million a day, right?

This can be compared with the time when Shen Qingyu released an album.

"Here it comes, the data is a little late, I was just stuck waiting for the time, now the EP sales are 1500 million!"

Just then, another staff member who was guarding the data came over and said excitedly, "The increase is too exaggerated. The recommendation and popularity are working!"

Everyone was startled.

Jinsui hurriedly took the report and looked at it, feeling relieved.

1500 million in two hours, even if the fans and passersby rushed in the most at the beginning, it would still be...

"Hey, wait."

She suddenly realized, "Huang Yixiao's weekly sales are 1500 million, right? He surpassed that in just one hour?"

"Uh…"

Everyone looked at each other, and Sister Zhang nodded: "It should be... um... Yixiao doesn't have a fan base in mainland China..."

grass.

Jinsui cursed in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face. He just nodded and said, "Okay, keep watching. I feel like it should still grow."

"it is good."

Everyone nodded and left.

She thought it would continue to rise this year, but the subsequent results far exceeded her expectations.

——She still didn’t quite understand how exaggerated this combination of resources and Ikeno’s carefully selected “Restart” was.

There has been no songs in the domestic entertainment scene for a long time!
In three hours, the sales of "Reboot" exceeded 2000 million.

Four hours, 2500 million.

Five hours...six hours...

Six hours after the EP was released, Ikeno's "Restart" officially broke through 3000 million sales despite the absence of QQ Music, which has the largest market share, and only had two major platforms, surpassing Hua Yichen's total sales of 24 million in 2700 hours!

And without stopping at all, it rushed straight towards Shi Jinwei's exaggerated sales of 24 million in 3700 hours!
I'm selling hemp, I'm making a lot of money, and I'm tired.

The person in charge of QQ Music is extremely nervous at this moment!
“Who didn’t allow Reboot to be released on our platform before?!”

The person in charge of music coordination held an emergency meeting and slammed the table in anger: "Are you employees of Penguin or Yuena?!"

Everyone was silent: "That was a call from Yue Na, it seems your assistant answered it...

A subordinate of a subordinate of a person in charge stood up and said, "I... I rejected it mainly because they were all partners. I didn't expect it to sell so well..."

"Then you can pack up and get out."

The person in charge waved his hand without hesitation: "Are you deaf? Can't you tell the difference between good and bad?"

Everyone: "..."

Subordinates of subordinates: Fuck, who are you acting for?!
Who is deaf? !

"Fuck your acceptance! It's delaying my ability to make money!"

The person in charge is still acting - and he is a senior executive of Penguin, and Yue Na is at best a partner of theirs in the circle.

You've delayed my ability to make money, and now it seems... I might have delayed a lot more. So, I'll give you some face and do a few things. What's wrong with a few scoldings?
If people knew I agreed to this, wouldn't I be cricket-ridden the next time I go back to Shenzhen for a meeting?!

"Let's talk to Chi Ye now and see if we can speed up the process. Tell him that we are us, and Yue Na is Yue Na. We are not a family!"

The person in charge was afraid that Chi Ye was "harboring hatred", even though he knew in his heart that Yue Na was "one of them", but... he had to calm Chi Ye down first and cheat the money... and make money first!
"...Okay, I'll go and communicate."

"The two platforms split up... without us, the other two will make a lot of money... Damn, you idiots are ruining me!"

The person in charge was still not satisfied and kicked the desk twice.

……

The cooperation invitation sent by QQ Music seemed to be thrown into the sea and no response was received for a long time.

"Restart" is also really killing crazy.

As of noon the next day, when the clock stopped at 12 o'clock, the first-day sales of "Reboot" were fixed at - 4100 million!
He surpassed the Hong Kong pop star Huang Yixiao, the Chinese pop music star Yi Chen, and the top four actresses Shi Jinwei.

4100 million on the first day, and then rushed to a higher level.

The music world was shaken and the trending searches soared.

Chi Ye took the cooperation invitation sent by QQ Music and threw it into the shredder. "Cooperation? Damn it! I'm quite vindictive. If they cooperate with Yuena for one day, then we will definitely not be able to cooperate."
