Chapter 70: Chi Ye, Internal Entertainment Circle’s Number One Goujian
“Yo, so generous?”
Chi Ye was surprised: “Didn’t you say you weren’t buying?”
“Hey, just kidding, my brother released an album, how could I not support it?”
Director Zhang is indeed generous, upon hearing this he waved his hand: “Come on, everyone stop for a bit, I’m treating today, everyone log into the two major platforms and help Teacher Chi contribute some album sales.”
“Director is generous!”
“Director is awesome!”
“Director… can we not listen?”
“Haha.”
The scene burst into laughter and cheers, Director Zhang “fumed”: “Not listen? You must listen! Props team on site, bring the stereo over, we’ll loop playback… hey, loop, it perfectly fits the theme of our movie, no one gets to escape!”
“Nooo!”
“Director, that’s too much.”
“Teacher Chi, blame the director, he’s the one doing the public execution!”
Everyone laughed and joked, of course, only the senior executives in the film crew dared to say that, the lower-level everyone, even joking, wouldn’t dare say it like that.
“Just kidding… everyone listen secretly, don’t want to listen then don’t, but I sent the money, everyone must buy ha!”
Director Zhang waved his hand, already through the big homepage recommendation on Ku Ting Music, clicked into the 《Reboot》 EP page, and hit purchase.
……
At the same time, in many places, many people paying attention to Chi Ye either bought the album right away or secretly cursed that he even dared to release an album.
Global Warming is Jin Xia’s fan club leader, and also a well-known big star in the fan circle.
Specifically shown in, every main idol photo she takes is extremely beautiful, and the position is perfect.
She is the only fan club leader who photographs the main idol but can sit in front of the main idol, the beautiful photos she takes are many times eye-contact shots with the main idol, revered by countless sisters as yyds.
——Undoubtedly, her family conditions are very good, she’s a second generation rich chasing stars.
At the same time, she is also a CP fan of #Chi Pan Xia Yu#.
This kind of CP fan, when 《Jian Ni》 aired to the second episode, seeing Chi Ye and the Empress Dowager’s various “intimate” little interactions, bumping into her drinking cola from the thermos cup, became even more obvious.
Today, she was also following Chi Ye’s updates.
Not long after Chi Ye posted on Weibo, she followed the link to the Ku Ting Music platform and bought one 《Reboot》 EP.
But, didn’t listen.
Buying is to support #Chi Pan Xia Yu#, seeing Xia Xia working so hard to promote for Chi Ye, CP fans are really shipping to death.
Not listening is for her own “ears” sake, really no mood to pay money and suffer “ear-raping demonic sound”.
She closed the page and clicked into the #Chi Pan Xia Yu# CP super topic.
45W people following, CP super topic 10th.
Arriving at the plaza, sure enough saw many CP fans like herself, after buying Chi Ye’s EP took photos and posted: 【Check-in Teacher Chi’s first personal EP! Doing my best to support!】
【Don’t want Xia Xia to be sad, bought five copies!】
【Fu Jie take a look at me, I want too!】
【Everyone do what you can afford, ship CP is ship CP, those with spare money buy, no spare money no need to rush, we’re not die-hard fans, nor career fans, just ship CP oh!】
CP fans, die-hard fans, career fans, the differences between these major fan groups are huge.
Career fans are the professionals at data work, terrifying when doing data… but Chi Ye has few career fans now, because he basically had no career before…
And in terms of fanaticism and spending, die-hard fans are the most terrifying.
At this moment, the first batch of buyers for 《Reboot》 are mostly Chi Ye’s die-hard fans.
CP fans are the most laid-back among the three, basically won’t spend too much money on either of the two.
So, even Global Warming didn’t spend big money to bulk buy EPs for Chi Ye to boost sales.
——She isn’t even Chi Ye’s fan.
But at this moment, scrolling the sweet super topic plaza, gradually, she noticed the change in everyone’s post titles.
【Oh my god! What is this?! So good.】
【Scrolled a whole bunch, finally found sisters who feel the same? Tears, Teacher Chi sings so well.】
【Every song in the EP is a banger, my reboot, it’s indeed Reboot!】
【Everyone go listen to the EP!! Insane! Simply the best songs I’ve heard in years!】
【No, sisters, are you die-hard fans? Brushing here is fine, don’t deceive bystanders like this, easy to ruin goodwill.】
【No no, it’s really good! Really really really!! Xia Xia’s taste is top-notch!! Only she believed in Teacher Chi, crying hard.】
【kswl!】
The topic and center gradually shifted, Global Warming’s eyes surprised, thinking could Chi Ye have bought paid commenters in the super topic to boost sales?
If that’s the case…
The thought just arose, she saw a usually very rigorous super topic big V also post: 【Strongly recommend everyone wear earphones to listen to 《Reboot》, every song worth listening carefully, 《Sunlight in the Crack》 really made me cry, Teacher Chi, keep going!】
?
Global Warming straightened her attitude.
She already realized, things seem not quite as she imagined.
Seems… Chi Ye’s this EP quality… is decent?
Her curiosity was piqued, she logged into her Ku Ting Music account on her mobile phone, black glue VIP, directly entered the recommended 《Reboot》 page, glanced at the five songs included in the EP:
《Sunlight in the Crack》
《When You》
《Smiling Eyes》
《Original Dream》
《Dark Knight》
Hm…
She thought of the titles she just saw, directly clicked play on the first song 《Sunlight in the Crack》.
No earphones, just played with the phone’s built-in player.
Heard first a drum beat quietly rising as if in darkness, starting just light taps, like a heartbeat, then gradually softening.
A delicate husky male voice sounded:
“How many wounds stuck in the throat”
“How many tears wetting the pillow”
“How many you feel cannot”
“Be understood pains, can only stay silent”
She was slightly stunned, sat up straight.
The dense magnetic voice, like soothing one’s own past various wounds, or like in extreme darkness, giving oneself forward encouragement and courage.
Indomitable, unwilling yet not resentful.
In fact this is also why Chi Ye prioritized this song, because “his” past experiences, even more because after his rebirth, the optimism shown on the program and to the outside world.
《Sunlight in the Crack》, the focus not on the crack, but on the sunlight.
It isn’t that despairing, that lifeless.
On the contrary, the whole song is filled with upward positivity, a determination and courage to break through dark shackles and escape the cage even in the most desperate dead end!
No matter how much injustice, I grow stronger.
So, when the chorus “the heart isn’t that fragile, there will always be persistence” began, each line higher than the last—Chi Ye’s emotions exploded, every high note like a dawn piercing the darkness, breaking through layers of obstacles.
“When the night flips over, it will be new daylight”
“When the tsunami recedes, it’s just tides rising and falling”
“Don’t wait till the end to realize, the beast in the heart”
“Hasn’t reached the end and already gives up”
Global Warming put on earphones.
She felt the “strength”.
Yeah, when the night flips over, it will be new daylight, when the tsunami recedes, you’ll find it’s just tides rising and falling.
Yue Na several years of “slave”-like life, how did he persist?!
Bullied for so long, in the silent late night, who would he talk to?
If no Xia Xia, if no… no ifs.
Perhaps this song has the answer.
“How many nights without end”
“How much loneliness, no one to tell”
“How many dreams, not yet dreamed, already empty”
“…”
“Don’t fear the imperfect corners in life”
“Better bravely break, the cracks in life”
“Sunlight gradually fills them”
Fate’s shackles already shattered, Chi Ye broke the darkness, welcomed sunlight, welcomed his reboot, new life.
One song ended, Global Warming didn’t take off the earphones, but continued to the next song, and the one after…
《When You》… really so sweet, isn’t it the story from 《Jian Ni》’s just aired second episode, Teacher Chi bumping into Xia Xia drinking cola from the thermos cup?
《Original Dream》《Dark Knight》… consistently rendering “courage”, consistently not breaking not establishing.
Just… what’s with 《Smiling Eyes》?!
……
What’s exactly with 《Smiling Eyes》?
Written for who?!!
This is the topic already arguing hotly in the current #Chi Pan Xia Yu# CP super topic.
But outside.
《Reboot》’s reputation and reviews are fermenting.
Guang Ying Shi Meng invested money, two major platforms gave volume, Teacher Hua friendship sponsorship popularity, Chi Ye’s first personal EP after breach of contract…
Under layers of buffs stacked, 《Reboot》’s release couldn’t be silent.
Either flop all the way, or soar to the sky.
Very obviously, almost except Jin Xia, in everyone’s expectations, today should be the former.
But unfortunately, Chi Ye this person is quite rebellious.
He chose the latter.
And—he has already soared to the sky.
On the various plazas where Weibo was flooded with defamations from Teacher Hua’s fans, finally there was movement.
「Not sisters, you call this bad?」
「So so good! Really! Trust me! I’m really not a paid commenter!」
「Listened and cried, I declare, this is the highest quality EP in recent years, no others!」
「Originally just felt good, didn’t expect to cry, but thinking of Teacher Chi’s previous nightmare-like experiences… really couldn’t hold it.」
「Hua Yichen’s fans only fit for listening to 《cancer》, aaaaa~~~」
「Pure bystander, some house’s fans don’t bring black to your house main idol, imaginary audition?」
「My bro really… Yue Na Group you did all the bad things! Look at you, forced my bro into a powerful singer!」
「Little Ye Zi really wants to cry, but just like the lyrics say, don’t fear imperfect corners in life, better bravely break life’s cracks, really didn’t stan the wrong person, @Chi Ye bro you deserve it!」
《Reboot》 called Reboot, not just rebirth, more a longing for the future and unyielding.
Chi Ye didn’t choose to sell misery—that’s too low, but chose this way to walk his own path.
This instead made the public change their impression of him more—who has had it worse than him?
Yet despite the worst, “I” never despaired, I choose to embrace this world.
Can say, this moment’s Chi Ye is successful, he successfully shaped a “brave” persona for himself.
And this persona will accompany him a long time, giving the strongest momentum to his about-to-takeoff career.
Of course, this doesn’t hinder Chi Ye’s thought of making Yue Na Group bankrupt on the spot.
Pre-prepared marketing press releases and soft articles all launched, cooperating with 《Reboot》’s gradually fermenting popularity, directly pointing at the former abuser Yue Na.
Hot search entries updating rapidly.
#Chi Ye《Sunlight in the Crack》#
#《Reboot》#
#When does Yue Na die?#
#Yue Na WCNM#
The third hot search because wording too intense, finally directly shielded.
But this doesn’t hinder everyone’s hatred and hostility towards Yue Na at all.
「@Yue Na Group, drop dead drop dead drop dead!」
「Pure bystander, what exactly did Chi Ye go through at your place? Boycott all works released by the broken company after!」
「@Yue Na Group, come out and kowtow!」
「Originally indifferent to Hu Ye before, even felt he stirred too much trouble, but today impression changed, in this situation he could persist, be so optimistic… Yue Na you really deserve to die!」
「Done, Hu Ye to leave Yue Na, really did anything!」
「#Chi Ye internal entertainment circle first Goujian# who bought this entry? Laughing to death, too fitting, bro, you really can endure!! First ninja!」
While popularity fermented, a bystander suddenly discovered, a very weird entry suddenly ascended the hot search list, even finally because popularity too high, topped the first.
——#Chi Ye, internal entertainment circle first Goujian#
Related hot words: #Internal entertainment circle first ninja##Yue Na this company can inspire potential##Chi Ye good#
Onlookers directly confused, reacted and instantly felt, this codename too suits Chi Ye!
「True internal entertainment circle Goujian!」
「Who says people forced desperate do anything? Look at Chi Ye, he really does!」
「Chi Ye is Goujian, then what is Jin Xia? Ya Yu?」
「I think Xia Xia is the fan leader… she’s at it again.」
It was Jin Xia not long after Chi Ye released the EP, when reputation not yet fermented, all curses, already used her verified personal account on the two major platforms—she previously had no verified accounts on other platforms, this was just registered and verified recently.
For what?
For comment likes + reposts!
Almost every song, she personally reposted liked, then added comment:
《Sunlight in the Crack》: 『Crying』Teacher Chi, good!
《When You》: Aaaaaah!
《Smiling Eyes》: 『Unhappy』（One minute later delete）Change: Decent.
《Original Dream》: I have dreams too, we all have dreams!
《Dark Knight》: On the other side of darkness is light, behind light is shadow!
Sis personally operated every song, onlookers once thought this was a high imitation fake.
Result clicked profile pic, saw verified blue V, a wave of silence.
Fans: Xia Xia, please stop, keep going… you want our die-hard fans’ lives?!
Bystanders: Apologize to Jin Xia! This is the real MVP, such vision!
CP fans ecstatic: #Chi Pan Xia Yu# is real! Too shippable, ship to death aaaaa!!
Scene once extremely chaotic.
Meanwhile.
《Circulation》 film crew.
Director Zhang after “secretly” finishing listening to the songs, glanced at the internet, fell into the longest silence of his life.
In fact, at this moment the entire film crew, Ran Qiao, Teacher Liu, Teacher Fang and others, similarly silent.
Everyone’s gazes weirdly staring at Chi Ye, not speaking, just silent.
Chi Ye: “?”
“What? You won’t want me to sing them all live on site right?!”
