Will the plagiarism girl be a substitute for the preference for women?

"I suddenly thought of something worth discussing, and I wonder what everyone thinks."

Then, she brought up what she had been thinking about on the way, hoping to draw some inspiration from other people's ideas.

……

"Hmm...what if there were a lot of funds available for advertising and promotion?"

As expected, when China returned to the band and brought up the topic, Aine actively participated.

After a rapid mental search, she raised her index finger and suggested, "How about using airships for advertising?"

"Sigh..." Li Xi sighed heavily.

She should have added a comment to Chinami's conversation earlier: "Let's talk about these topics after practice."

We resumed practicing during the break, but before we'd even finished half a song, we started chatting again.

The fact that Qiannai added the prefix "worth discussing" actually makes the question of how to obtain it more relevant.

After noticing Riki's displeased expression, Ai Yin tentatively asked.

"Lixi, isn't this plan good?"

"That's too unrealistic," Li Xi said bluntly.

"?" Aine paused, "It can be done as long as there are enough funds, right?"

"Obtaining the right to use airships over the city seems like something only a conglomerate could do."

Su Shimi smiled and said tactfully.

"Will airships scatter parfaits into the city?" Lena pursed her lips.

Aine spread her hands and said, "But didn't Chizuru also say that it's a vision without regard to funding..."

"Um, sorry..."

China, who started the topic, raised her hand.

Although she now earns a considerable income, the range of publicity methods she can imagine is too vast, and many of them are simply impractical for her, given that she has no budget.

If she had enough money, launching a satellite named after China Interactive Entertainment Co., Ltd. into the sky would definitely attract worldwide attention, but she hasn't reached that level yet.

"Indeed, the idea of ​​a large amount of funding that I just mentioned is a bit too far-fetched."

So she changed the conditions appropriately, not only for herself and Xiangzi's band, but also to make it meaningful for the band in front of her to discuss this topic.

"Let's think about what kind of publicity methods we have now, and how we should promote it once we have some funds."

"A certain amount of funds...how much do you mean?"

The lamp suddenly got involved in this realistic topic.

To her surprise, China conservatively gave a figure based on her own financial resources.

"$50 million."

This is her earnings from the last three days of streaming. She only converted a small portion of it into Japanese yen for personal expenses and to pay Xiangzi's wages.

"what?"

This is a lot of a problem for Lixi.

First, I don't know why they used US dollars as an example. Second, the gap between "$50" and "now" is too big.

With that much budget, they would have become a world-class band by now.

Moreover, the forms of advertising are basically streaming media, posters, and street screens; money mainly determines the size and duration of the ads on those screens. What we should be thinking about is the content of the advertising campaign.

"Propaganda from the sky..."

The lamp murmured, looking up at the sky outside the window.

"Deng, do you have an idea?" Li Xi asked curiously, stepping forward.

She saw that Deng had drawn silhouettes of several houses in his notebook with squares to represent the city, and then added some dots above the city to represent the starry sky.

Finally, the word "Band" was written in large, hollow letters against the starry sky.

Deng stood up, holding the notebook in both hands, straightening his arms, and held it up for everyone to see.

“I think… promoting the band in the sky is a great way, just like what Xiao Aiyin said.”

"Hehe." After receiving approval, Ai Yin puffed out her chest and put her hands on her hips, looking quite pleased with herself.

"???" Li Xi let out a slight stunned sound, his wide eyes glancing at Ai Yin as he stared at the light.

The lamp then continued to express itself earnestly and sincerely:

"I think... if we could project our message into the sky, it would be like we're standing shoulder to shoulder with the stars."

"The stars that dreams chase should bring people this kind of experience."

Li Xi's eyes lit up instantly, and he raised his fist in affirmation, "As expected of a lamp! What a romantic idea!"

"Ahem..." Ai-yin coughed lightly twice, "I'm also one of the sources of inspiration."

Seeing everyone engrossed in the conversation, just like the joyful atmosphere at Crychic back then, Su Shi couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

But she still offered a practical reminder.

"So, how do you project such a large band logo over the city?"

Su Shi drew a circle on the "Band" mark in the notebook with her finger.

Chapter 152 No, no...

Projecting the band's logo into the night sky certainly sounds grand and romantic.

But Lixi glanced at the time and quickly returned to the present moment.

As Ai Yin and Deng were both envisioning an ideal solution, Li Xi solemnly reminded them:

"Keep practicing, we'll talk about these things later."

"Ugh……"

Aine's shoulders slumped. It was rare for China to bring up such a topic that sparked everyone's imaginations when she came back.

Even if we talk about "what kind of publicity can $50 do", it doesn't mean much to a band that has never performed before, but it can still be a good way to relax.

The song I'm practicing now has a melody that I really like, but after playing it on repeat at a high intensity, I'm starting to feel resistant to it, like I'm using it as an alarm clock.

"Why is Lixi so focused on training?" Ai Yin complained a little.

“The practice room is rented on an hourly basis. If I can practice here for a few more minutes, I can save more money,” Li Xi replied matter-of-factly.

"It won't make a difference if it's just a few minutes."

Despite her complaints, Ai-yin returned to her microphone.

But Deng seemed to still be focused on the topic at hand, his gaze fixed on his notebook.

When Chika walked up to her, she gently affirmed, "It's a great publicity idea, but let's practice it first."

“Hmm…” Deng nodded slowly.

"I was the first to suggest it," Aine said coquettishly, her hands behind her back.

China quickly affirmed Aine's words, not daring to be too perfunctory.

"Yes, Xiao Aiyin is an unparalleled genius!"

China lifted one heel and gave a wink.

"Hum~"

Aine flashed a confident smile, suddenly appearing very motivated again.

“Okay, Lixi, let’s start practicing!” she said firmly.

Looking at the pink-haired dog that seemed to brighten up at the slightest bit of sunshine, Lixi sighed helplessly once again.

Well, at least he's willing to practice.

"Don't speed up the tempo while you're playing, stick to my beat."

Lixi emphasized this to Aiyin, but his gaze involuntarily drifted to the light reflected in the wall mirror.

She still seemed a little dazed. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be so depressed after talking about such a lighthearted topic as band promotion.

Is it because the existing resources are insufficient to fulfill our beautiful fantasies?

Li Xi didn't guess too much, nor did he give Deng too much time to be distracted.

Even if the lamp sang her heart out and resonated deeply with her, we cannot favor the lamp because of that.

"Lights, are you ready?"

Lixi urged in a slightly serious tone, though it was still relatively gentler than when they first met.

The lamp trembled slightly, then replied, "Okay!"

I had a feeling that China wasn't just chatting idly.

Why is the amount of money assumed to be in US dollars...?

This gives the light a sense of "actual existence".

For example, some people who have returned from overseas studies tend to express their investments in foreign currency because their income is in foreign currency.

And now that the band is holding a live performance in RiNG, they'll definitely be earning yen...

A troubling thought lingered in her mind, one she dared not delve into. Even letting her thoughts linger there was elusive, like a satellite orbiting a planet.

Chizuru is considering promotional methods for other people.

This is not part of our publicity efforts...

This guess made Deng feel guilty.

She glanced at China briefly, but the encouraging look she received made her even more hesitant to continue looking at her.

.........

During the rest of the practice session, Lixi continued to be strict with Aiyin as usual.

At first, Aine was a little puzzled as to why Riki didn't restrain himself when China was present.

But after a little speculation, she felt relieved.

It should have been when Lixi and Qiannai had just left that they reached a reconciliation.

Therefore, she no longer needs to feel guilty about what China did, nor will she subconsciously control her attitude because China is present.

I hope your relationship improves. Chizuru, I'll shoulder this burden for you, and accept these criticisms with a forgiving heart.

Aine consoled herself in this way, then looked at Chizuru with a smile as if she were the benevolent mother of the Virgin Mary.

"Focus on your practice." Li Xi, as sharp as an instructor, noticed and interrupted Aine's flirtatious exchange.

"Okay~ okay~" Aine replied calmly, while tidying the ends of her hair behind her back to appear more serious.

Chinatsu used her professional knowledge to patiently and gently guide Aine's fingering techniques and the way the lamp made sounds, step by step.

"China, is there anything I can improve on?"

Su Shi saw that Qian Nai had been teaching the two of them and wanted to experience it herself.

China scratched her head sheepishly: "Ah, I'm not very good at bass, I might not even be able to play the root note."

"However, I'll teach you about harmony later," she continued.

Although Su Shi responded with a peaceful "hmm," China still felt that it was difficult to consider everyone's feelings.

"bite??"

Just as China was feeling a bit worried, Rakuna came over again.

The cat's sixth sense seemed to detect the scent of gold coins about to explode.

Of course, common sense dictates that someone who can offer a matcha parfait on the first meeting must be someone of exceptional means.

"I'm hungry," Lena said.

"Are we going to eat again?" China asked tentatively.

At the same time, she subconsciously thought that Lixi would probably say something like, "Let's eat after practice."
