Chapter 73: Chi Ye Goes Viral, Spring Arrives For Rise’s Remnants!
The Chinese Music Scene not only has a father, but now also has a “grandpa”.
The Music Industry will thank him, and Hua Yichen’s fans will thank him too.
「Who bought those hot search terms? Hu Ye bought them himself, right!」
「Hu hu hu hu hu! You give me hu!」
「Yeah yeah, Hu Ye is so hu, his first EP has 70 million sales volume, your brother’s sales volume has been surpassed oh.」
「Hahaha, some family’s fans are jumping in rage, pissed off to death.」
「Noob question, what level is 70 million sales volume for a first EP in the Chinese Music Scene?」
「I’ve already changed my name,『My bro’s sales volume 70 million』!」
「It should be nothing much, but if Hua Yichen can be a father, I think 70 million as grandpa is totally justified!」
The world has suffered long enough under the father of the Chinese Music Scene!
So when the grandpa of the Chinese Music Scene takes the stage now, it’s almost one-sided mockery.
Hua Yichen’s fans are having heart attacks, then frantically spending money to boost sales volume, hoping to surpass Chi Ye.
On the other side.
Hua Yichen himself, upon learning that a “father” suddenly appeared above his head, also felt his vision go black, his mentality collapsed.
Generation messed up!
I was being a good father, how did a grandpa come out?
Chi Ye, you clumsy imitator!
He was so angry he was trembling all over, yet a bit unwilling to believe…
70 million sales volume, entering the top twenty of the overall chart, with Chi Ye’s previous popularity, how could he possibly achieve that?!
Among the young generation of singers, besides Yu Yan who can do it easily, who else?
Could the power of “bystanders” really be this strong?
Also…
70 million, Chi Ye not only surpassed his new album, but even the one that was once most boasted about, with the “highest record,” was surpassed…
Should we continue investing…
If we don’t continue investing, then won’t he be inferior to a Chi Ye in the industry from now on?!
So embarrassing!
“Stop it, no point, stopping now can still make some money, not stopping now means losing money.”
The boss of Yue Na Music Department walked into the meeting room and decisively announced stopping the continued “private boosting.”
In fact, his days these past few have been equally tormenting.
Watching Chi Ye “rise steadily,” Yue Na is really anxious to death!
Not only unwilling to see the other doing well, more importantly— the hotter Chi Ye’s EP gets, the more people curse them.
Many years later, Chi Ye might be gone, but as long as someone listens to the song, they’ll remember “this story”…
Truly fucked, so disgusting!
And even more disgusting is the message they just received…
Five days after the release of《Reboot》, after stirring up huge storm online and in the Music Industry, finally some netizens who are good at analysis,（CP fans）, analyzed the meaning represented by each song in the《Reboot》EP.
《Sunlight in the Crack》: Past and farewell.
《When You》: Hope and like.
《Initial Dream》: Dream and courage.
《Black Warrior》: Unyielding and fairness.
《Love Smiling Eyes》: Mockery and mockery.
Yes… the most important is the last song《Love Smiling Eyes》.
Some CP fans racked their brains and finally “analyzed” that, setting aside the surface lyrics in《Love Smiling Eyes》, looking deeper, you’ll find it never mentions Yue Na directly, yet every word and sentence is about Yue Na!
What does “only after leaving you did I discover myself, those love smiling eyes” mean?
What does “tears flowed, like an unavoidable storm, delete the soaked yesterday” mean?
Only after leaving Yue Na did I discover my love smiling eyes!
Tears flowed, like an unavoidable storm, delete all the gloom of yesterday!
“Goodbye love, I will make myself firm.”
Clearly goodbye Yue Na, I will make myself firm.
Just surface love!
——Chi Ye himself felt greatly shocked upon seeing it, and quickly went along with it: Yes, that’s it.
CP fans carnival, feeling like they fooled themselves for another day.
But Chi Ye, and those who know Chi Ye, don’t think so.
Because… he really has no dating history!
“Teacher Chi, is it really as they say?”
《Circulation》film crew.
Chi Ye, who just finished filming, picked up the phone call, hearing the coquettish yet stuffy voice on the other end, nodded without hesitation: “Yes, but it’s also the plot from some idol drama I’ve seen…”
“Oh, I knew it.”
Chi Ye listened to the voice on the other end that wasn’t surprised at all, stunned: “What do you mean? You believe me just like that?”
“No.” The Empress Dowager shook her head: “I just think, with Teacher Chi’s mouth and personality, you probably haven’t dated before.”
“Not many people can stand it.”
Chi Ye: “…”
Damn, believe it or not I’ll cheat on you?!
Chi Ye, poked in the lungs, got a bit anxious, displeased: “Do you have something?”
“Aiya, Heavenly King Chi don’t be mad, I was joking.” Jin Xia blinked her peach blossom eyes, said softly: “Look, I can stand it ah.”
Chi Ye: “…”
Woman, you’re playing with fire.Jpg.
“Teacher Chi? Teacher Chi why aren’t you speaking?”
Jin Xia curiously: “Still in a bad mood?”
Hmph hmph, little Chi Ye, steadily in control!
“Mm… do you have something?”
Chi Ye’s voice indeed softened quite a bit.
“Oh, it’s this.” Jin Xia changed to a comfortable sitting position, coquettishly asked: “Aunt says she wants to meet you, do you have time?”
“Meet?”
Chi Ye was surprised yet not surprised.
Guang Ying Shi Meng really helped him a lot this time.
Without “aunt’s” strong support and money smashing, 70 million sales volume wouldn’t even be dared to think.
He thought about it, asked Xiao Liu about the time, then said: “The crew will transfer to Haixi soon, I’ll make time before that.”
“Mm mm!”
Jin Xia nodded heavily, then hesitated: “Right, Teacher Chi…”
“What’s up?”
Chi Ye saw her hesitating, curiously: “What do you want to say?”
“It’s just…” The Empress Dowager thought for a moment, then stammered: “That… when you meet aunt, don’t be fooled by her “sweet talk,” don’t forget our great cause!”
Chi Ye: “…”
“Mm… alright, actually I wanted her to sign you before, but didn’t expect you… really would… mm, aunt’s eyesight isn’t great! The company wants to enter the mainland now it’s already late… I actually shouldn’t tell you this… but… I’m afraid you’ll be lured in by painted big pies…”
After saying, she anxiously: “You can’t tell others! Aunt will be mad at me if she knows!”
Chi Ye smiled: “Don’t worry, I’ll remember the mission, we are the “family”!”
“Hmph hmph.” Jin Xia hummed twice, then waved randomly: “Then that’s it, withdraw withdraw, I gotta go be busy.”
“Aren’t you off today?” Chi Ye surprised.
“Yeah, but I have other work to do! Great cause not achieved, how can I slack?!”
After Jin Xia said that, she hung up amid Chi Ye’s puzzled face.
As a result, not long after, he saw in Moments, the Empress Dowager’s fifth forward of the《Reboot》EP.
Good night, Maka Baka:
【Favorite songs are like treasures, want to share this《When You》with you, feel the ups and downs of emotions in music together, come listen~】
Then:
【Music is the condiment of life, this《Sunlight in the Crack》brought me a lot of strength, sharing with you too, hope you like it ya.】
【Recently fell into『Chi Ye』singer’s music world, this《Love Smiling Eyes》is too amazing, can’t help sharing with you, let’s immerse in this wonderful melody together…】
【……】
“Good guy, propaganda committee member little Jin is too dedicated.”
Chi Ye couldn’t help but his lips curl up watching, but quickly smoothed it—Director Zhang walked over.
“Good guy, why is that corner of the mouth harder to suppress than an AK?”
Director Zhang amazed: “Ate from a honey jar?”
Chi Ye: “?”
“You want me to curse a bit for you to feel better?”
Director Zhang: “……No need for that.”
He took out his mobile phone: “I’ll push Teacher You’s WeChat to you… brother, bros can only help you this far, the rest is up to you.”
Paused, he said: “Group A will transfer to Haixi the day after tomorrow probably, add quick, easier to contact later.”
Chi Ye put away his joking mood, nodded, added Teacher You.
Normally, he wouldn’t be too eager to befriend a screenwriter.
But after contact, Teacher You does have a bit of moral integrity and artistic excellence vibe on one hand… another point, Chi Ye is very covetous of that notebook he’s currently preparing…
Mm, he feels any actor, hearing “Yu Zecheng” those three words, can’t help but covet.
If he can “leave a name in film history,” wouldn’t that be pretty good too?
As for copying one himself now… not to mention suspected plagiarism, even without that,《Circulation》type of notebook is fine, but《Latent》 ordinary people really can’t write.
This is good, this really can be fought for.
After chatting these matters, discussed taking leave with Director Zhang.
Director Zhang now looks at Chi Ye in a whole new light, very straightforwardly gave him… half a day off.
Chi Ye didn’t say much, half day better than none.
So the next day, he set off early due to tight schedule, bringing assistant Xiao Liu flying to Beijing.
——Jin Sui came to the capital again.
On the road.
Xiao Liu’s phone calls one after another.
Chi Ye watching the young girl busy and proactive appearance, really a bit unaccustomed—but this is what the Chi Ye Team has been experiencing these recent days.
《Reboot》big hit, 70 million sales volume, entered historical overall chart top 20.
In the current Internal Entertainment Circle environment, on Chi Ye personally, it’s almost a miracle.
Among young generation singers above him, only Yu Yan, and many strength singers far ahead.
But Yu Yan is different… his popularity too high, a single highest sales volume 180 million, note, just a single, not an album!
Can’t compare at all.
And Hua Yichen also leads in album count and total sales volume, but problem is, this is Chi Ye’s first EP, how many years has he been releasing?
So, the value of《Reboot》has been proven.
Before releasing the EP, many music variety shows that ignored Chi Ye, most sent announcement invitations, also local commercial performances… counts as after leaving Yue Na, another full house of traveling announcements.
Different is, this time, Chi Ye can decide himself, this time, he has the right to pick announcements he likes.
Decision-making power in his own hands.
“The studio is finally on the right track.”
Chi Ye sighed.
This step seems easy, actually is easy… not easy ah.
“Chi Ge.” Xiao Liu finally finished calls, turned with tablet: “Zhang Xianming, Jiang Yi, Yang Zi… and those… Rise Sister-in-law Group, do we need to remind them?”
Chi Ye thought, precisely caught: “Jiang Mou sells no good stuff, tell him not to ride popularity, others… they didn’t infringe copyright, also helped raise my sales volume so much, just leave it… warn if over the line.”
“Got it, I understand.” Xiao Liu nodded.
Chi Ye then took out mobile phone, opened Ji Zhua Zhang’s live broadcast room that’s been live for over ten hours straight.
Seeing the “battle situation fierce” inside, tsk tsk in amazement.
……
Ever since《Reboot》went big hit, Rise teammates, Yang Zi and others successively joined to ride popularity, things gradually went off the rails, and unstoppable.
First is Ji Zhua Zhang.
Ji Zhua Zhang, after first confrontation with Jiang Mou that day, deadlocked, suddenly had a clever idea, directly promised in live broadcast room: “To support my captain, all family who purchased《Reboot》EP, as long as show purchase record, come to my live broadcast room order chicken feet, buy one get one free!!”
Buy EP, get chicken feet!
This caused Zhang Xianming’s live broadcast room almost full house every day, not only “raised sales volume” for Chi Ye, he himself made a fortune!
Seeing this, Jiang Mou jealous eyes red.
Wanted to give wine… but wine can’t do buy one get one free!
Before Rise various incidents too big, he’s already been warned.
But he can’t just watch Ji Zhua Zhang wildly eat Chi Ye traffic, himself get nothing.
——Facts prove, when pushed to desperation, people will do anything!
After being pushed desperate, Jiang Mou actually announced on the spot, “Jiang Yi Chicken Feet” officially established, targeting “Xianming Chicken Feet”! To his live broadcast room《Reboot》listeners buying chicken feet, buy one, get two!!
《Reboot》listeners and Chi Ye fans “ecstatic”!
Zhang Xianming upon hearing this, felt the sky fall.
——Before, the two just “surface competition,” but actually one sells wine, one sells chicken feet, not much interest relationship.
But now, Jiang Yi this beast, actually also learns to sell chicken feet!
Jiang fake wine renamed Jiang chicken feet, competing with him!
Ji Zhua Zhang furious, that day in live broadcast room blasted Jiang Yi: “Your fucking live broadcast room doesn’t even have a chicken feather, how to compare with my Xianming Chicken Feet this “Rise century-old brand”?!”
“What do you sell? Sell air?!”
To this, Jiang Mou smiled slightly, unhurried, claimed: “We are pre-sale, understand pre-sale? Everyone order first, tomorrow I’ll make chicken feet for you!”
Crowd: “…”
Gossip masses greatly felt Rise chaos still continuing, yet didn’t expect, the real masters still behind.
Soon, the Rise Sister-in-law Group who got “wind,” now renamed “Rise Girl Group” sisters, immediately went live, stated: “We support captain Chi Ye!”
Then in live broadcast room, neatly started dancing songs from《Reboot》.
One song after another.
Led by Qing Sister-in-law, Chicken Feet Sister-in-law as backup, crazily twisting.
Some Chi Ye fans furious: “Your borderline dance doesn’t match my bro’s song at all!”
Sisters-in-law silent, just kept dancing.
Still Qing Sister-in-law shyly spoke: “Quite the opposite, I actually feel《When You》this song is tailor-made for me by Chi Ye… CP fans don’t spray me, I really like this song!”
Jin Xia reported this live broadcast room that night.
Unfortunately, not banned.
And besides Rise remnants this group of demons and monsters, new vampire besties group Yang Zi also not falling behind.
He also started live commerce the next day, claimed family buying his good brother Chi Ye’s EP, all goods in live broadcast room buy one get one free!
Even Chi Ye himself didn’t expect, inexplicably enjoyed a taste of Peng Chen’s previous “treatment”!
Mm… he now somewhat understands Peng Chen, feels really very bad!
Of course, not all bad riding popularity.
Chi Ye searched a name, entered the live broadcast room.
Saw Teacher Shi, who hasn’t been seen for a while, quietly listening to his song—especially《Sunlight in the Crack》, sang till eyes reddened.
Live broadcast room few people—compared to Ji Zhua Zhang them. She sang very nicely too, fully focused, the best cover among all covers Chi Ye heard.
Chi Ye looking at the “deserted” live broadcast room, then public screen obviously very rough, obviously just learned ads:【Please everyone support genuine album, search《Reboot》on Wang Yi Yun, Ku Ting, thank you everyone.】
A wave of silence.
Teacher Shi… why are you more miserable than me.
Two updates today.
Let me take a breather, will clear all debts before month end.
