Chapter 109 New album released! (2-in-1)
"Oh my God! They were invited to "I Am the King of Singer"?"
"The last season of "I Am the King of Singer" featured three generations of old, middle-aged and young people on the same stage, but inviting them was a bit unexpected."
"Traffic is king, their popularity is too high, and the invitation is reasonable."
"I feel a little sorry for them. There are too many ruthless people this season. I guess they are the ones running around and will be eliminated first."
After this explosive news became a trending topic, netizens were surprised and started talking about it.
Fans who like Fengqi Wutong were happy and excited when they learned that they could see them on stage again, but at the same time they were worried for them.
The contestants who also participated in "The Birth of a Group" were very sad to hear the news, but they also understood that the gap between them was getting wider and wider.
Just like attending classes in school, schools weaken the differences between people. The experience of attending classes together in the same classroom gives people the illusion that everyone is of the same class.
In fact, they are just waiting for a red light. As soon as they get their diploma, it is time to return to their original class.

Hyson Records Dance Studio.
The eight boys of the Sunshine Youth League, who were feeling very proud just a second ago, were all furious when they learned that Fengqi Wutong had participated in "I Am the King of Singer". They hammered the floor of the dance studio with their fists.
"Damn it! If we were the champions back then, the resources of "I Am the King of Singer" would definitely be ours!"
"It's okay. They won't be crazy for long. They will be eliminated in the first round."
"As long as our album sales beat theirs and they are eliminated in the first round, then the audience will think of us!"
"Yes, remembering our uncrowned king!"
…
…
"I am the King of Singer" program group.
In the chief director's office.
"The trending search reached the third place in just 20 minutes? Their popularity is so high!"
Chief director Hong Bo looked at the hot searches on Weibo on his phone and shook his head in surprise, unable to believe his eyes.
"It's like this. Their traffic is horribly high. For the program I worked on, I only bought them hot searches during the preliminary round. I didn't bother with them after that, but I often saw them on the hot search list."
The person who said this was none other than "Ji Lei", the chief director of the music talent show "The Birth of the Group".
The success of "The Birth of a Group" made him famous. Not only did he become a first-class variety show director in people's eyes, but he also made a lot of money. It can be said that he achieved both fame and fortune.
The program team of "I Am the King of Singer" took a fancy to his talent and specially invited him to be the "assistant director" of the program to discuss how to make this "second season" a success.
Ji Lei originally planned to take a break and relax, but the program "I Am the King of Singer" has too much traffic and is too tempting.
If I can add such a rich achievement to my career, I believe that I will have the opportunity to be the director of the Music Spring Festival Gala in the future and realize my life ideal.
After two outstanding directors met and discussed together, they decided to upgrade the competition system.
The first is the upgrade of the broadcast method. "The Birth of a Group" created a win-win ratings myth between live broadcast and edited version. Penguin, as the largest sponsor of "I Am the King of Singer", decided to copy this broadcast method.
The second is the upgrade of the competition system.
The first season of "I Am the King of Singer" was a knockout competition among seven singers based on their rankings, but it was a bit monotonous to watch this way.
The second season will add a "surprise attack" game.
This surprise match was the inspiration given to director Hong Bo by the wrestling league WWE. Players with the right to challenge for the championship often challenge to win the title when they are exhausted after the championship match.
The same goes for the new surprise competition. In addition to the seven singers competing, the program team will also add surprise singers, and they will have the right to challenge any singer.
For example, after contestant A sings a song and performs abnormally and makes a mistake, the surprise singer can immediately go on stage to challenge contestant A. If contestant A wins, they will take the stage and contestant A will leave the stage.
After learning that Hongbo would add this new competition format, Ji Lei was worried about "Fengqi Wutong" who he had personally trained as the most junior singer in this program.
There is no doubt that they will become the targets of the archery range and the targets of surprise singers. It will be extremely difficult to survive in this show.
The third innovation is that a topic selection system will also be added. Competitions with limitations will be more interesting. The topic selection competition will be added in the middle of the schedule.
The fourth innovation is that the show will eliminate the need for professional hosts. Each singer will have the opportunity to be a guest host. Idols will host the show. This small innovation will be very attractive to the audience.
"How many issues do you think Fengqi Wutong will last?"
Hong Bo put down his cell phone and asked Ji Lei next to him with a smile.
"Hard to say."
Ji Lei was silent for a moment and shook his head, "They are not singers who judge by conventional thinking. They have surprised me too many times."
Hong Bo touched his bald head and said with a smile: "Although they are popular, they are still too young compared to these veteran singers invited on the show."
"I think they'll be the first to be eliminated. If they survive one round, I'll treat you to a feast."
"good."
Ji Lei smiled and nodded, thinking to himself: "It may cost you money."

Yida Records.
Good Luck Studio.
"Brother Lin, you are so fierce. The Weibo comment section is full of messages to cheer you up!"
Dong Chen came across the singer's revelations and excitedly pointed to the comment section and showed it to Lin Zhixing, who was sitting in front of the computer.
"I no longer pay attention to the news of singers. The purpose of participating is to upgrade them."
Lin Zhixing saw the news that King Dong Dehua's album sold 5.8 million copies in 24 hours. He was so happy that his eyes were gleaming.
"It's Not a Sin for Men to Cry" is the exclusive copyright of Penguin Music. Listeners pay one yuan to purchase the song. Excluding the deductions from the platform and the music company, Dong Dehua can get 40 cents.
The contract was 50/50 with me, and I could earn 20 cents. In 24 hours, I had an income of 1.16 million, and I made a million a day, participating in a shitty talent show.
This amount of income has strengthened Lin Zhixing's determination to show off. After a round of variety shows, it is the last word to use songs to monetize.
"Brother Lin, you have to have a dream! What if you win the championship?"
Dong Chen patted Lin Zhixing's shoulder, gave a thumbs up and said in encouragement.
Lin Zhixing waved his hand impatiently, "Go, go, it's impossible. If I can win the championship, I will run three laps outside the garage with my butt naked!"
"Okay, okay, you two can help me testify!"
Dong Chen turned around and said with a smile: "If Brother Lin can win the championship, I am willing to run three laps with Brother Lin naked!"
Song Ge and Ji Yu looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
"Bah, two stinky men with leaky fetishes!"
…
…
Time passed little by little.
July 19th is the day the album is released.
In the past week, Yida Records and Haisen Records have put a lot of effort into promoting their artists, and they have spent a lot of money on hot searches.
Especially Haisen Records, which has spent a lot of money to cultivate a seedling, is ready to rely on the sales of this album to regain its reputation.
The singers under Haisen Records, at the request of the company, have promoted the new album of "Sunshine Youth League".
For a time, this album called "New Generation" became very popular.
Fengqi Wutong is an artist that the company favors, and Yida Records also uses its connections and financial resources to promote it. Wang Cong doesn't take the loser "Sunshine Youth League" seriously at all.
His goal is the future. If the album "Fengming" sells well, then it will be more beneficial for Fengqi Wutong to participate in the program "I Am the King of Singer" and he will be more respected by other singers.
In order to thank Lin Zhixing, Dong Dehua also forwarded the poster of "Fengming" on Weibo and gave him great support.
This move by the King of Heaven will have the same promotional effect as at least 20 well-known artists of Haisen Records.
"Zhao Weiwei", who will be the opponent of Fengqi Wutong, also promoted the album "Fengming" on Weibo.
There is no doubt that this is a win-win publicity.
Not only did he sell personal favors, but he also gained the reputation of being "magnificent" because he promoted his opponents.
The most surprising thing is that even the chief director Ji Lei promoted the album of "Fengqi Wutong", and it was still a single promotion, leaving "Sunshine Youth League" alone.
He was sure to eat Hong Bo's big meal!
In terms of publicity, in addition to the two record companies, marketing accounts also made a great contribution.
[Old enemies compete at 12 noon on July 19th. Who will be the final winner? 】
【Album battle! Can the Sunshine Youth League win back a victory? 】
Marketing account articles like this, which were published three days before the release of the album for the sake of traffic and popularity, pushed the topic of "album duel" to a climax of popularity.
However, what surprised everyone was...
As the protagonists of this album war, "Fengqi Wutong", Lin Zhixing and Song Ge only symbolically posted their albums on Weibo once.
Most of the time, I was promoting Dong Chen and Ji Yu.
[The studio's artist "Leap Miracle" will release the single album "Jinghong" at 12 noon on July 19th. I hope everyone will support it. 】
This Weibo post was posted every morning and evening three days before the sale.
After tasting the sweetness of "It's Not a Sin for Men to Cry", Lin Zhixing vowed to win the new song of the system task.
This wave of operations shocked fans.
"Good guys, there are eight members of the Sunshine Youth League. Each of them wants to post eight Weibo posts every day to promote their own album. How come you only promote others in one day?"
"I understand, brother Ye knows how to show off, do you still remember what he said? You can win with your hands in your pockets, so why take action?"
"Wonderful, this is the feeling of superiority! Oh Brother Ye is like the male protagonist Long Aotian in the novel!"
Fans were skeptical at first, but under the guidance of several favorable comments, their thoughts began to change.
Lin Zhixing’s voiceover——
(I didn’t think much about it, I just wanted to get a song!)
…
…
It’s 11:50 p.m., ten minutes before the album is released.
Good Luck Studio.
The four of them had lunch early. Because of the album, Lin Zhixing and Dong Chen Jiyu had little appetite and ate very little. They all squatted in front of the computer, waiting to check the album sales as soon as possible.
Song Ge didn't quite understand this either. She believed that staring at those things would not change any outcome, but would only affect her emotions and mood.
She had finished her lunch, and now she was leaning on the sofa comfortably, eating ice cream, watching romantic dramas on her mobile phone, and giggling from time to time.
In an office, the picture showed a huge contrast.
"Brother Lin, why don't you adjust the background of the song to yours?"
Dong Chen poured water for Lin Zhixing and accidentally discovered that the song on the screen was his own song in the background.
Lin Zhixing glanced at Dong Chen, then his eyes fell back on the screen, and said casually: "My songs don't matter, I hope you can grow!"
Dong Chen was so moved that he almost cried.
"If you don't give up, I would like to worship you as my adoptive father!"
…
In an office of Haisen Records.
"Blessed by Bodhisattva, let us win!"
"If I win, I'll be vegetarian for a week!"
"If I can win, I will quit sex for five, no, two days!"
The eight teenagers from the Sunshine Youth League also stayed in front of the computer screen early. It was about their music future. They were so nervous that they didn't even eat lunch.
They pretend to be relaxed now, but feel a little unsure in their hearts. They used to be confident, but they are a little afraid of losing.
The company has devoted all its resources to this turnaround battle. If we lose again, we will probably be treated coldly by the company. There is no retreat from this battle and we must win!
…
At this moment, there are also countless fans waiting in front of computers and mobile phones.
They want to contribute to idol rankings!
…
It's twelve o'clock sharp.
The three albums "Feng Ming", "Jinghong" and "New Generation" are exclusively available on the Penguin Music platform.
Ten minutes after the album was released…
The sales volume of "New Generation" is 180,000.
The sales volume of "Feng Ming" is 140,000.
The sales volume of "Jinghong" is 50,000.
…
In an office of Haisen Records.
The eight boys from the Sunshine Youth League were all laughing from ear to ear after seeing the sales volume within ten minutes of the album's release.
"Hahaha, we're sure!"
"In ten minutes, the sales were ahead by 40,000, and in one hour, it was 400,000!"
"Go to your house for one hour and one hundred minutes?"
"But according to this trend, we have a high probability of winning!"
…
In the kitchen of an apartment in Peking.
The range hood hums.
Aunt Zhang is fifty-eight years old this year and has become a grandmother. She is retired and has nothing to do. She is responsible for the food for her son's family of three and taking care of the children.
As one dish after another comes out of the kitchen, the standard nutritious meal of four dishes and one soup comes alive.
My son's work unit is close to home, so I picked up my daughter, who is in elementary school, and takes her home for lunch at noon.
"Baby, come on, try grandma's shrimp."
Aunt Zhang gave her doting granddaughter a piece of shrimp and was very happy to see her enjoying the meal.
"Son, help mom buy a music album later!"
The news of Fengqi Wutong's album has long been spread among the elderly. Originally, everyone's desire to buy it was not that high because of the song "Above the Moon".
Other songs have live versions online, but this one was not completed during the concert. It was ruined by them during this time.
"I want to take a break during my lunch break. After get off work, can I help you with it after work?"
"Sure, don't be in a hurry."
Aunt Zhang smiled and nodded, taking another bite of food for her son.
Countless elderly fans in the same situation are waiting for their children to get off work and their grandchildren to get out of school in the evening.
Fengqi Wutong’s fan army has not really exerted its strength yet.
I’m ashamed of Kavin’s recent awesome update. Now my thoughts are flowing smoothly. I’ll start updating more tomorrow. Let’s work hard! ! !
