A person in Wuha: The whole internet is urging me to get back together with my ex!
Chapter 228 0 Pre-heating Dominates the Global Charts! Mangtai Panics: Ancestor, Add Another 3!
"Get lost, get lost." Chen Ye waved his hand dismissively, as if shooing away a large, shedding golden retriever.
"It's just that Chao Ge and Chen He aren't here." He rolled his eyes.
"If those two heard you spouting nonsense just now, complaining that they weren't qualified to be your wingmen, believe me, they could plant a landmine at your doorstep first thing tomorrow morning and blow you up on the spot!"
Lu Han wasn't angry; instead, she grinned and showed off her white teeth.
"No way, those two guys are very magnanimous." Lu Han chuckled shamelessly.
"Are you staying here tonight?" Chen Ye pointed to the guest room.
"No, no, I'll just go back to Chao Ge's place for the night." Lu Han stroked her chin, her eyes darting around.
"I'm planning to get up tomorrow morning and learn a lot from Sister Li, asking her how that old hag, Brother Chao, managed to shamelessly win her over back then. That's invaluable real-world experience!"
Chen Ye was too lazy to deal with this late-stage love-struck fool and pointed to the cabinet in the entryway.
"Go wherever you want. The car keys are all in that drawer. Just pick any car and drive away. Just be careful not to drive my car onto the curb."
Lu Han gave an OK sign.
He put on his coat, grabbed a car key, and ran off.
With a click, the large single-level apartment finally became quiet.
Chen Ye stretched.
He turned and glanced at Song Yuqi, who was laughing hysterically on the sofa.
The little bit of sleepiness I had just felt was completely gone thanks to Lu Han's antics.
He walked over and swept Song Yuqi up in his arms.
"Lu Han has gone to seek the scriptures, so let's not be idle." Chen Ye smiled and said, "Let's continue our great undertaking of creating humans."
Song Yuqi exclaimed in surprise.
She skillfully wrapped her arms around Chen Ye's neck.
The penthouse was once again filled with a shameless atmosphere.
Early the next morning.
Agent Susie, along with the core team from her original studio, made a grand entrance into Shanghai.
Chen Ye didn't even show his face.
He sent over the office building contract he had just signed yesterday, along with the property manager's contact information.
The main feature is a big, carefree approach.
Following closely behind, the agents of Deng Chao, Chen He, and Lu Han also arrived in person.
Four top agents in the Chinese entertainment industry stood in the empty office building of more than 1,000 square meters, looking at each other in bewilderment.
A cold wind swept through the hall.
Susie looked at the message Chen Ye sent her on her phone, "Sister Susie, you've worked hard. I'm leaving everything to you," and felt her blood pressure rush to the top of her head.
The company needs to hire people, renovate the premises, and coordinate with the legal department.
These four bosses are something else. They called over their four laborers, and then they all disappeared.
The four agents were so busy they were practically on fire, and they didn't even have time to drink water.
Meanwhile, the four big bosses were comfortably gathered in Deng Chao's villa courtyard, roasting Wagyu beef over a charcoal stove.
On the third day...
Chen Ye finally did something worthwhile.
The global photo shoot teams for LV and Rolex had been waiting in a high-end photography studio in Shanghai for quite some time.
These arrogant foreigners initially thought that the headquarters was making a mountain out of a molehill by giving a Chinese celebrity the title of the world's highest-ranking spokesperson.
But when Chen Ye finished his hair and makeup, changed into a bespoke LV suit, and put on that rare Rolex watch, the moment he walked out of the dressing room...
The entire studio fell silent.
A perfect inverted triangle proportion, plus that impeccable face.
The foreign art director exclaimed "God!" on the spot.
The filming went extremely smoothly.
Chen Ye didn't need any posing instructions at all.
He casually leaned back on the sofa, his languid yet extremely confident wild aura causing several top photographers to press their shutters until they were smoking.
When it was time to wrap up, the foreign director was so excited that he wanted to give Chen Ye a bear hug.
Chen Ye decisively dodged to the side.
He is a married man, and he must uphold male virtues.
After finishing work and returning home, Chen Ye collapsed on the sofa, planning his next schedule.
I'm going to film "Divas Hit the Road 5" right away, and the destination will definitely be overseas.
Back when I was active in the Western entertainment industry, I wouldn't call myself a top star, but I was quite well-known.
Since I'm going abroad, I should let my old friends know in advance.
He took out his phone and opened the list of international calls in his contacts.
Several years ago, before Chen Ye retired, he released a phenomenal English album overseas.
That album dominated the Billboard charts and even received a Grammy nomination.
Although he ultimately missed out on the race due to the xenophobic practices of those foreigners.
But that didn't stop Chen Ye from taking advantage of that opportunity to make a name for himself in the European and American music scene.
After making a series of overseas calls, Chen Ye's ears ached from hearing all those "What's up, bro" greetings.
Upon learning that he was going abroad to record a program, the foreigners were excited and said that as long as Chen Ye came to their territory, they would definitely make sure everything was arranged perfectly.
After catching up, Chen Ye tossed his phone aside and resumed his usual lazy, home-cooked routine with Song Yuqi.
Song Yuqi used to be with a management company in South Korea, but now she's as quiet as a quail.
In the past, if an artist dared to so blatantly refuse to accept gigs, the company would have already sent a lawyer's letter to put pressure on them.
But now they wouldn't dare even if they had a hundred lives.
Everyone knows that Chen Ye is behind Song Yuqi now.
That's the kind of person who can easily use their wealth to throw money at people.
The South Korean company didn't even dare to make a phone call to say hello, for fear of angering Chen Ye.
They slumped over for more than half a month.
Susie rejected all the invitations from outside without hesitation.
Only when there were a few extremely difficult-to-avoid invitations from bigwigs in China would Chen Ye reluctantly show his face and appear as a two-hour guest.
As for the collaboration invitations from top international stars, Chen Ye also kept making empty promises, saying "I'll definitely do it if I have the chance."
Until one afternoon.
Chen Ye was munching on an apple, watching a boring talent show on TV, when he really felt an itch to join in.
I can't stay idle like this any longer; my bones are practically rusting.
With the show about to be filmed abroad, he needs to create some international buzz for himself and let those foreigners know what it means to make a triumphant return.
He opened the system store and, with his wealth, pulled out a playlist of popular English songs.
A shopping spree ensued.
Die For You.
Fatal Love.
Alive.
Three phenomenal Western hits immediately popped into my shopping cart.
And I can't neglect my wife.
With a flick of his finger, he bought a song called "Radio" that perfectly matched Song Yuqi's husky voice.
Solo singles alone are not enough.
"We Don't Talk Anymore".
Deadman.
Sugar.
"The Way I Still Love You".
STAY.
And that catchy, brainwashing song, "APT".
The ten songs together make up a digital album called "King & Queen".
A few days later, this bombshell was released simultaneously on Spotify and Apple Music worldwide without warning.
No preheating was performed.
I didn't buy any trending topics.
But within just two hours of going live, the entire external network crashed.
Those superstars in the Western music scene who had previously received numerous overseas calls from Chen Ye all went crazy after listening to his songs.
Troye Sivan, Justin Bieber, Broke Eyebrows, Ed Sheeran.
Even several Hollywood actors and actresses have been frantically sharing the album link on their respective Instagram accounts.
"Oh my god! That man is back!"
"This is the god of Chinese music! This album is simply a work of art!"
The super promotional matrix spontaneously formed by superstars is even more powerful than spending hundreds of millions on advertising.
The suspenseful feel and catchy chorus melodies of those duets spread like wildfire on short video platforms abroad.
Chen Ye and Song Yuqi's names dominated the top ten of Twitter's global trending list.
However, at the heart of this global music storm...
The two main characters were wearing matching bear pajamas, sprawled on the sofa of a large apartment in Shanghai, slurping instant noodles.
"Snoring..."
Chen Ye took a big slurp of noodles and glanced at the off-the-charts data on his phone.
"Look, these foreigners have never seen the world," Chen Ye commented.
Song Yuqi rolled her eyes at him and put the sausage from her bowl into Chen Ye's bowl.
Domestic social media platforms have fallen into an eerie silence.
Those haters who were previously making sarcastic remarks about Chen Ye only writing catchy pop songs have now completely shut up.
They didn't even have a pre-launch hype; they just swept through the Western music scene.
In addition, Chen Ye's album "King of Love Songs," a collaboration with Jay Chou, Wang Leehom, Tao Zhe, and JJ Lin, continues to dominate the top spot on various charts in China.
It's practically a 360-degree, no-dead-angle firepower coverage.
Anyone who dares to jump out and criticize Chen Ye at this moment will be devoured alive by furious netizens and fans from all sides, leaving not even a bone fragment.
The most panicked were actually the production team of Mango TV's "Divas Hit the Road 5".
The producer and director were looking at data from the internet in their office, their hands trembling.
"Oh no, oh no, Chen Ye has made such a big fuss, he's definitely going to make a comeback on the international music scene."
"The copyright fees for his English album would probably be enough to buy our entire production team. Do you think he'd even bother with our lousy travel show?"
The director was so anxious that he started pulling out his hair.
They're really counting on Chen Ye and Song Yuqi, these two big names, to come and hold their own and boost the ratings.
If they get stood up at this point, the sponsors will tear them apart.
"Spend the money! Allocate more budget now!" the producer gritted his teeth. "Talking about contracts with a superstar like Chen Ye is useless; we have to show sincerity!"
then.
Susie received a call from Mangtai that afternoon.
On top of the original sky-high salary of 90 million, Mango TV squeezed in another 30 million.
He spent over 100 million to take the two of them on a trip.
Even Susie, a manager who's seen it all, thinks this world is crazy.
Night falls.
Chen Ye hugged Song Yuqi and snuggled on the sofa to watch an extremely mindless dating reality show.
Just as I was complaining about the male guest's greasy lines, the phone screen on the coffee table lit up.
Caller ID: Susie.
Chen Ye reached for his phone, pressed the answer button, and turned on speakerphone.
"What's up, Sister Qian? What brings you here so late at night?" Chen Ye asked lazily.
Susie's hurried and efficient voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Are you still watching TV? Have you packed your luggage yet?"
Chen Ye was taken aback.
"Why pack my bags? I haven't taken any gigs."
"Stop pretending to have amnesia!" Susie banged on the table on the other end of the line.
"Have you forgotten what you promised Xiaolu?"
"Filming for 'Divas Hit the Road 5' will begin in Beijing the day after tomorrow!"
"The production team was afraid you would change your mind, so they not only paid you the full amount, but also arranged your schedule meticulously."
Susie raised her voice and issued her ultimatum.
"I've already booked first-class tickets for you and Yuqi to go to Beijing tomorrow morning."
"We must leave for the capital tomorrow morning!"
