"Just like the hype about 'the district chief is a talented singer', there are many ways to package it."

"To put it bluntly... Mary, if you want, you can indulge your singing dreams."

This is just like those young and handsome guys, produced on assembly lines, and then packaged and hyped by companies. The level of their own business skills is actually not too important, as long as it is good enough.

This is the difference between the so-called "marketing type" and the "strength type". Although the public prefers singers with strength, because these people really rely on their own strength to make the public like them, but from the company's perspective, singers with strength have unstable output and many things to do. Once they change jobs, their fans will also run away, and the company cannot effectively control them at all.

In contrast, marketing types can generate stable income through company hype and packaging, create fan clubs, and do not have to worry about the young idols running away.

The downside... is that it's a complete mess.

As more and more companies choose to rely on marketing to make money, and the number of strong companies on the market decreases, more and more people will begin to become disappointed with assembly-line products. When the expansion of fan circles eventually causes normal people to choose to stay away, the entire circle will inevitably decline...

To generalize, it is probably the relationship between finance and industry. Appropriate finance can promote the real industry, but when everyone only wants to make easy financial money, the real industry will shrink, and sooner or later the financial industry will collapse, and no one can escape.

But...

What does this have to do with Bird?

"I can do that too." Mary was stunned and said in disbelief, "Are you kidding me? I can't sing at all."

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if her singing is average." Bird smiled slightly. "For example, due to my slightly exaggerated hype, most newspapers were previously negative about her. But because of 'See You Again', some people started speaking up for her. These people are the original fans that the District Mayor initially accumulated..."

"Will you wait?"

Mary realized something was wrong: "Your hype? You did it on purpose."

"What else?" Bird shrugged. "Without this hype, how could the mayor's reputation have risen so quickly? Would so many people buy 'See You Again'? And which music company would be willing to record the song for free and help promote it for free?"

"Among these buyers, a certain number will more or less become the district mayor's original loyal fans, speaking up for him when he faces external pressure."

"Precisely because they've experienced the oppression of the media, these fans have watched their favorite singers grow little by little, and their behavior has become increasingly loyal. They've begun to pay more attention to the "person" themselves, buying their songs without a second thought, promoting them diligently and for free, and recruiting others to join their group..."

"As long as the district mayor continues to produce excellent works, his fan base will continue to expand and become more loyal."

"Wait a moment."

Mary realized something and asked, "What if we can't produce outstanding works?"

"That depends on the situation," Bird replied. "Normally, they'd be extremely disappointed and urge the mayor to correct his mistakes and produce excellent works."

"What about abnormal situations?" Mary asked.

"Who knows?"

Bird gave a faint smile and shrugged.

For some reason, his expression made Mary feel inexplicably chilled.

"I don't want to play politics with you guys." She waved her hand, "I'm going to prepare breakfast."

As for the district chief.

After letting her rest for two days, it was almost time to record a new song.

The treatment this time was much better than last time. Melody House specially sent a carriage to pick them up, unlike last time when Bird and Avril had to go in the carriage themselves. They successfully recorded "Faded" and received a lot of flattery from the manager and the recording artist.

After completing the recording, Avril couldn't wait to respond in the newspaper immediately.

"The new song 'faded' has been recorded!"

"Those who accuse me of forgery, clean your ears and listen carefully to this song! Who did I plagiarize from?!"

At this time, due to her silence, newspapers have unilaterally labeled her as a "plagiarist" and "false propaganda". Even the sales statistics compiled by Melody House have been questioned and accused of data falsification.

All in all, she is now almost being condemned by everyone in the music industry.

Although some people who have heard the original song tried to speak up for Avril, they are still a minority. More people are still in the overwhelming negative publicity, and they also think that Avril "plagiarized the song", "hyped" and "falsified data", and they followed suit to denounce Avril.

With Avril's reply, the popularity suddenly reached its peak again.

Chapter 249: Reversal of the Situation and the Pitfalls of a Mission

As soon as the news of the upcoming release of "Faded" was announced, Avril Lavigne became popular again.

The fans accumulated because of "See You Again" are naturally looking forward to the new work of the district mayor. They strongly support it as soon as it is released, and even buy multiple copies for free to give to some people who were not interested originally, as well as some bars and restaurants that are not well-informed.

Although the newspaper is still in the dark.

However, with the precedent of "See You Again", although there are still a large number of people who are unaware of the situation and are misled, no matter how hard they try to slander, they cannot influence those who know the truth, so they also have a strong expectation and interest in this at this time.

This group of people who support Avril also developed a confrontational mentality.

I didn't really want to buy it, but since it's dark every day, I just bought it and listened to it.

In addition, Avril's songs are indeed not bad, so they also contributed to a number of sales.

As for the people who were misled, those who were against Avril Lavigne in their hearts, due to the long-term negative reports from the newspapers, they actually developed a certain interest in this controversial district mayor.

It’s dark every day, dark every day. What’s the song of this district chief like?

What, you mean history?

Whether it is history or not, I will know after trying it myself.

With this mentality, this group of people followed the trend and contributed a considerable amount to the initial sales of "faded".

As for the pure black fans, people in the newspaper will naturally buy it. After all, they have never heard of how to criticize others, and only those who have heard of it can criticize them to the point.

As a result, many people involved in this craze contributed to the first batch of sales, and "faded" was sold out as soon as it was put on the shelves. Fortunately, Melody Company had experienced the situation last time and was well prepared. They replenished the supply as soon as possible to avoid out-of-stock.

With such a hot buying frenzy, the sales of "Faded" are twice as much as "See You Again".

4 million copies!

When this number came out, everyone who knew about it was a little shocked.

No, can it really sell so many copies???

Although sales volume cannot represent everything, it can often represent a lot of things. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people keen on comparing sales volume on the charts.

Many who had previously criticized Avril Lavigne, accusing her of plagiarism and shoddy production, have begun to waver. Some of the more discerning newspapers have even begun to shift their tone, attempting to offer a "fair and objective" assessment.

Objectively evaluate the level of performance of the song faded. It has made significant progress and is worth looking forward to in the future.

"Does the rap in See You Again have a future for further development?"

As for the bolder ones and the newspapers that had originally stood on Avril's side, they have now changed their tune and started praising her.

Is Avril Lavigne the new rising star of music?

District Head? Singer? Sorry, I want them all!

I am a good district chief, but I am also a good singer.

All the changes happened in a short time after the release of "faded", so fast that some people could not react.

Didn’t you previously angrily call it a rubbish show and plagiarism?

Why are you all praising me suddenly?

Because the wind direction changed so quickly, some newspapers that firmly stood on the side of discrediting Avril Lavigne chose to remain silent for the time being.

Ferdinand, who has been criticizing Avril, is now in a difficult situation.

He also listened to the new song. The rap that he praised so much in the previous song was not present in this song "faded" at all. The music and lyrics were of the same high standard.

If it was copied, then who did it copy from?

What's even more terrifying is that it wasn't long after the release of "See You Again". At that time, Avril's singing level was very amazing among beginners, but it was still relatively mediocre among mature singers.

This time, in "faded", one can hear obvious progress, whether in terms of timbre, pitch, or emotion, it is a step further.

Although the magnitude is not large, the speed of progress is quite terrifying.

But at this point, I have no choice. If I admit that I was wrong, I will lose face. I may not be able to survive in the Douglas music circle for a long time. Whenever others see me, they will think of this embarrassing incident.

Although I regretted it immensely, as I was simply provoked by that reporter and started to criticize him, it is too late to say anything now.

There is only one way to get to the dark side.

Ferdinand's eyes turned cold at this thought: "I don't believe it. Even if you wrote all the music yourself, can you really be proficient in 18 instruments?"

"If you really have this ability, then I will be convinced. Otherwise, don't blame me for pestering you."

After making up his mind, he immediately contacted a reporter from Marble Newspaper and expressed his willingness to be interviewed.

So the next day, Marble News published a report.

"Question to the District Mayor: Which 18 musical instruments are you proficient in?"

......

It is naturally impossible for Avril to master 18 musical instruments.

In fact, Bird has also been a little troubled by this matter - of course not because of Ferdinand's criticism, that kind of criticism will only bring traffic, his headache is because of this crappy resignation system, the task actually requires her to master 18 musical instruments.

After completing the reward mission, Avril's Ambition.

The resignation system immediately refreshed three ordinary tasks, but the problem was that the requirements of each task were so ridiculous that Bird was unable to make up his mind which one to choose until now.

[Task 1: Musical Genius]

[Explanation: You must grit your teeth and make it come true.]

[Requirement: Prove in public that Avril Lavigne is truly proficient in 18 musical instruments.]

[Reward: 3 high-level lottery draw opportunities, 10000 experience points.]

......

[Task 2: Keep up the good work]

[Note: Now that we have solved the weak version of the Aumann conjecture, why not continue our efforts and solve the Aumann conjecture in one fell swoop?]

[Requirement: Solve the Aumann conjecture.]

[Rewards: Skill Upgrade Card (Master Level), 5 Advanced Lottery Chance, 100000 Experience Points.]

......

[Task 3:]

[Note: While the hero Nationale will eventually be achieved, it's time to take the first step.]

[Request: Organize a large-scale parade for pan-magicians in Central City and formally present their demands to the government.]

[Reward: Skill "Leadership Temperament", 10000 Experience Points]

Chapter 250 I like you too

There are three tasks, and none of them is easy to deal with.

The first requirement is that the district chief must be proficient in 18 musical instruments.

Even if you include the simplest instruments like triangles and whistles, and squeeze in 12 hours a day, it would take at least several months. After all, my experience is limited, and I can't expect the district chief to master all 18 instruments on his own.

The second task required Sophia to solve the Auman conjecture, exactly the same as last time.

If it was that easy to solve, he would not have chosen to use up the opportunity for the bonus mission last time, but would have solved it directly.

The third task was to organize a parade, still in Central City.

Haha, Bird doesn't want to die so quickly. If he is found out, he will be in real trouble. Moreover, unlike the five-member history-making team of Gouzi Literature last time, a parade of this scale will involve a large number of people. The more people there are, the easier it is to be exposed, not to mention that the degree of badness is far beyond Gouzi Literature. Gouzi Literature is just disgusting. This kind of parade will really shake the votes of these people.

"hiss......."

Every time Bird looked at the task panel, he got angry.

Okay, okay, this is how you play, right?

Just at this time.

[Effect 2 of the sugar jar in memory is activated]

Ok?

Bird was slightly moved when he received the system prompt and checked his props.

[Item: Sugar Jar in Memory (Intermediate)]

[Effect 1: Every 24 hours, you can specify to generate a candy you once had, with a maximum capacity of 3 candies]

[Effect 2: Every once in a while, there is a small chance of generating random candies]
