by UntamedSJiang Yu cleared his throat and analyzed as if nothing had happened: “I think with Master’s ability and talent, the pre-sale results are not important. So what if that woman got 20 million presales first? The sales will officially start tomorrow. You can tell whether the quality is good or not. When the time comes and the sales increase without publicity, we will let them see what it means to be a latecomer and what it means to counterattack.”
Jiang Yu talked a lot and was almost convinced by himself.
Shen Qingran didn’t interrupt him and listened to him quietly.
In the end, Jiang Yu probably felt more and more embarrassed the more he talked. He contacted Shen Qingran and said that he would help their master with sales, but he failed because of the lack of money. This was one of the most embarrassing things that had happened to him this year.
“Why should we start low and go high? We can totally start high; I very much agree with your idea just now; it’s Master’s first time releasing an album; we can’t lose face; we must get that sales up.” Shen Qingran seriously analyzed for him: “If you sell all your houses and sports cars and limited edition cars, it won’t be a problem to raise 200 million. As a senior brother, I can’t let you pay for this alone; I’ll pay the other 200 million.”
“Enough, Shen Qingran, haven’t you always taken the route of gentle and cool? When did you start talking so much?” Jiang Yu wanted to cry in his heart. After all, he was a top star; how could he be so poor? He didn’t even have 200 million yuan in working capital; it was all because he’d spent too much money in the past two years.
Jiang Yu decided that from today onwards he would be a person who could save money.
Shen Qingran put away his calculating expression and once again resumed his gentle appearance: “You’re the one who contacted me to discuss the matter of buying the albums.”
Jiang Yu was so angry that his face turned green. He was really out of his mind at that time, which was why he thought of contacting this person.
At this moment, Shen Qingran spoke again, “Alright, if you really have the heart, just spend ten thousand yuan to buy some albums as gifts. Master is not someone who cares about these things.”
Jiang Yu didn’t understand how Shen Qingran’s face changed so quickly; it was almost as if he had thought of something. He opened his mouth several times, as if fighting against his own heart. In the end, he reluctantly spoke, “Then let’s just forget about it. That little green tea [TN: fake] bi-tch was dissing master on Weibo half an hour ago. I can’t swallow this anger. Why don’t you lend me money first, and I… I’ll earn it back and pay you back, at most two years?”
Shen Qingran glanced at him and said, “So it’s better to spend four hundred million yuan on album sales than to give the money directly to Master to show filial piety to him? Don’t forget that half of the album money needs to be given to the platform. That’s equivalent to giving several hundred million yuan to Penguin Music. If Ling Huai knew you were so generous, she would definitely make a big banner for you.”
Jiang Yu was so angry that his face turned red. “Shen Qingran, when did you become so venomous? Where’s your warm and elegant image? Be careful. I’ll post this aggressive look of yours on the internet so that your fans can take a good look at your real face.”
Shen Qingran was probably a bit tired of chatting; he propped his chin up with his palm, and his expression was a bit lazy as he said, “By the way, the math problem of your 20 million album bought with 40,000 yuan was also sent to the netizens for reference.”
Jiang Yu didn’t speak; his mouth opened and closed. Shen Qingran didn’t need to look carefully to know that he was silently cursing him; he ignored it and continued, “When it comes to math, you should find a math-savvy wife in the future. You’re hopeless.”
This was considered a senior brother’s last advice.
In the end, both of them spent 10,000 yuan on 500 albums, and looking at that figure, Jiang Yu was still very upset; he knew that the quality of Master’s music was much better than that little girl’s, but unfortunately, he lost out on the money.
Although he knew there would definitely be a comeback in the later stage, he was still unhappy.
If only someone could spend 400 million and embarrass those people to death, he would call the other party father.
This night Jiang Yu and Shen Qingran both didn’t sleep; the pre-sale was over, so they had to execute plan B; when the time of August 1st zero hour arrived, when the official sale began, they would promote their master’s album.
Although one of them was a top-tier domestic singer and the other was an international singer, their fans only recognized them. They couldn’t recommend things that they had never tried before; their fans wouldn’t care, so promoting the album during the pre-sale period was useless.
Jiang Yu kept keeping an eye on the time. About ten minutes before August 1st, he saw that the pre-sale sales were still hovering at over 5.29 million, struggling to climb towards 5.3 million copies. He couldn’t hold on any longer and went to the kitchen to soak a bucket of Kangshifu braised beef noodles.
The aroma of the noodles slowly emanated from the bucket. Jiang Yu casually found a book to cover the noodles and sat back in front of his computer.
He must post his support for Master’s first album right at zero hour, letting Master know who his attentive disciple was.
Reaching out, he pressed the refresh button, and the sales, which were still at 5.29 million, turned into 25.29 million.
Jiang Yu rubbed his eyes and realized that it wasn’t his eyes that were seeing wrong; the pre-sale album sales had really turned into 25.29 million copies.
He refreshed it again, but the first two characters still hadn’t disappeared. Excitedly, he stood up and pointed to the computer screen, “Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, this, this, this…”
He picked up his phone and called a certain ‘rival’ Shen Qingran, so excited that his words were incoherent: ‘Duo Duo Duo Duo…’
Shen Qingran responded calmly, “I saw it: 25.29 million pre-sale sales.”
Jiang Yu’s joyful mood stuck in his throat, and he swallowed it back, and then, after settling his emotions, he explained: “Shen Qingran, I never thought that you would also have such a manly side; I apologize for my previous behavior towards you.”
Shen Qingran said, “I didn’t buy it.”
Jiang Yu was surprised: “If not you, then who else could it be?” There weren’t many people who could take out so much money at once, not to mention buying an album for Master. Jiang Yu couldn’t think of anyone other than Shen Qingran.
Shen Qingran: “But I accept your apology.”
Jiang Yu: “……” His expression was blank for a while before he said, “I didn’t say anything just now. That was my brother talking on his phone.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly and quickly.
Looking at the number of sales, Jiang Yu stroked his chin and thought to himself, “Is it possible that Master bought it?”
No matter what anyway, they got the sales to exceed a certain green tea woman’s, he was in a good mood.
As soon as zero hour passed, the pre-sale album turned into a sales page, and Jiang Yu quickly picked up his mobile phone and forwarded the sales link to Weibo to promote the album: “it’s good to hear explo-sive music; you will definitely regret not listening to it, so buy it quickly.”
After the post, Jiang Yu started eating his noodles while clicking on Shi Fei’s digital album “18” and listening to the music.
He was completely immersed in it; master deserved to be called master.
Jiang Yu didn’t know in the slightest that while he was listening to the song, his master was once again on the hot search.
He also paid no attention to the album’s information at all.
#Shen Qingran promotes for Shi Fei.
It turned out that some of the ‘Sheng Shi Fei Ran’ fans who couldn’t sleep most of the night had seen Shen Qingran promoting the album for Shi Fei in the middle of the night, and all of a sudden those CP fans got excited.
“Look what I swiped in the middle of the night; oh my god, I’m so excited ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.”
“I had bought the album before; just now, once I heard the music, I originally thought that I bought it because I was enjoying the CP, but I didn’t realize that it was too good to listen to.”
“To be honest, I’m not a fan of Shi Fei. I just tried it out, but it sounds really good. I just bought the album to support, and it didn’t disappoint me. I support people who put their heart into making music like this.”
“Upstairs, sister, it seems that we have actual evidence of brother Qingran and Shi Fei sleeping together; I’ll post and share it.”
“I seem to have found it too, my god; no wonder I felt a sense of familiarity with the style of the music.”
“Sisters, quickly go and look at the details of Shi Fei’s digital album.”
Generally people bought albums to support the singer, so very few people would pay attention to the details of the album, looking at the producer, composer, and so on.
So it was a full ten minutes or so after Shi Fei’s digital album officially went on sale before anyone noticed the problem.
Lyrics: Bu Li
Composer: Bu Li
Keyboards: Shi Fei
Guitar: Shi Fei
Harmonies: Shi Fei
……
……
In that row of details, the first thing everyone noticed was the lyricist on top.
Shi Fei had actually invited the great god Bu Li to help with the lyrics and compositions, the only Chinese mysterious lyricist who had won awards for lyrics and music at the Grammy Ceremony, ‘Bu Li’.
The shock this brought to everyone was simply beyond words.
Wasn’t Bu Li the one who didn’t write songs for anyone but Shen Qingran? How come he helped Shi Fei? Could it be that Shen Qingran was pulling the strings?
#The lyrics and compositions for Shi Fei’s new album are written by Mr. Bu Li.
This long string of words climbed the hot search list at a very fast speed.
Many news media people, journalists, blogs, etc. who were originally sleeping soundly in their pajamas received urgent news one by one and hurriedly got up in the middle of the night to rush to write posts about it.
The CP fans of Sheng Shi Fei Ran were simply happier than they were during a holiday.
“Teacher Bu Li only helped brother Qingran write songs before, but this time he helped Shi Fei write a song as well; without brother Qingran’s help in pulling the strings in this, I don’t believe it would have happened.”
“I think the sisters upstairs have guessed the truth; who says they are not in love?”
“If that isn’t the truth, then what else is the truth? This is love.”
“Everyone, please pay attention to whether Brother Ran’s Weibo post was posted at 12:05. How do you read it in reverse?”
“Sisters, I hadn’t found this detail yet. Brother Qingran is too fond of him.”
“Let me drown at the bottom of this pit; I’m not getting up.”
While CP Shengshi Fei Ran was so happy that they were close to buying firecrackers to celebrate, certain people’s faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Lu Rongrong looked at the rows and rows of messages and wished she was blind at this time.
When she clicked on each song, all of them were composed by Bu Li.
How could this be? How could Shi Fei hire Bu Li to help him write a song?
With Bu Li’s escort, how could she surpass Shi Fei’s sales?
Lu Rongrong paced back and forth in her room in her pajamas; no, she couldn’t just let it go.
This matter was about her next first-tier endorsement; she couldn’t lose, she mustn’t lose.
Lu Rongrong looked at the sales figures written on the back of the album.
