Chapter 15: mid-strategy, top-strategy, opinion explosion.

Chapter List

Original Translations: Crafted with Care, No Unauthorized Reposting Allowed.

061 and Jian Cheng's back-to-back actions have sent Xiaochi Chi straight to the top of the live streaming site's charts this week.

Xiulun Su reached out to Xiaochi Chi and asked if he needed to take advantage of the hype.

Yuan Cheng's family background and strength are here, and with Xiulun Su's protection, he certainly has more autonomy than other singers under Nebula, otherwise he would not be able to say what to do.

Xiaochi Chi plays the young budding Yuan Cheng, who is very hesitant.

Later he politely said, "Just don't be too flashy. The original live broadcast was just a fan benefit, and the taste changed when it was fired too aggressively."

Xiulun Su breathed a sigh of relief.

If Yuan Cheng insists on being noble and refuses to cooperate with the hype, he can't do anything about it.

Only then, the company may reevaluate Yuan Cheng's value and treatment.

The record market is extremely cruel, and those who choose to follow this path, but cannot withstand the commercial test, or refuse to do so, will eventually become commercial outcasts.

...... The good thing is that Yuan Cheng has a good handle on it.

At Yuan Cheng's request, no major forums or social media outlets were overly involved in the linkage, and only a few decent-quality music marketing numbers praised his singing ability.

The promotion of Yuan Cheng was just the first test of Nebula Entertainment's efforts, and the response was already moderate, but within a day, the buzz of Yuan Cheng's live broadcast was overshadowed by other debris.

Seven days later, Huan Tang's new song was released on all major music platforms, and at the same time, various marketing softwares sprang up. Huan Tang's Weibo cover was changed to the cover of the new album, and a special logo for the fifth anniversary was put on it.

Compared to the pervasive promotion, Xiaochi Chi's first few days of fervor were not enough to boil a pot of water.

The release of Huan Tang's new song is scheduled for 9:00am sharp.

Xiaochi Chi is not too interested as the time is approaching and he is lying on his bed doing his daily tasks on the cards.

061 asked, "Aren't you going to listen?"

Xiaochi Chi shrugged: "Sooner or later we will hear about it, there is no hurry."

061 became one of the first listeners of Huan Tang's new song out of curiosity.

After a few minutes, it dawned on 061: "This ......"

Xiaochi Chi didn't even look up: "Uh huh."

061: "This is not a song written by Yuan Cheng."

Xiaochi Chi Seriously Playing the Game: "I told you no seven days ago."

"It sounds a lot like the song you sing on the air."

"It's the song that is sung during the live broadcast."

061: "But how did Xiaoyan Yang steal this?"

Xiaochi Chi manipulates the card heroes to hang the opponent, this kind of game that does not need operation, only tactics can be said to be very friendly to his handicap.

He said, "Teacher Six, I'm the victim. Don't ask me how she stole the wrong thing, ask her why she stole it."

A few seconds after the words fell, Victory's alert popped up on the screen, and the ID of "The reflection of the building into the pond" advanced one place on the leaderboard, jumping to the first place.

Xiaochi Chi tossed his phone: "Ha, I finally snatched the first place back after being deserted for so long."

He stretched out in a good mood and said, "As long as she stole it, as long as she sold it, as long as it was used by Huan Tang, then she'll wait for death."

Huan Tang is in Cloud City and is in the midst of a boom, so it's inevitable that some of her rivals will be watching her every move.

What's more, the tail she has to hold this time is not small.

Half an hour after the release of the new song, a marketing number was the first to object: "Does no one think Huan Tang's new song is a bit subtle? Suggest you search @ Yuan Cheng's recording from seven days ago, there are surprises."

Some people went searching when they saw it and have said they really found a surprise.

Now Huan Tang's fans are not happy and are coming down.

"Are you deaf? Where is the likeness?"

"Just a few sound similar is also considered plagiarism? Our family will not take this pot!"

"Love me China is still like hallelujah it! This coincidence can also take out a wave of black, convinced."

Cloud City Entertainment was also the first to receive the news.

At first, when he received the notice and didn't hear the song, Huan Tang's producer Zhong Yu thought that someone had deliberately framed it, and sent a text message to comfort Huan Tang: "It's okay, it's nothing, there are many people on the Internet who don't mind the mess, and you've done a beautiful job with the pre-publicity for the fifth anniversary, so it's inevitable that someone will look at it."

However, by the time he searched for Xiaochi Chi's recorded video and listened to the specifically named plagiarized clip for less than half a minute, Zhong Yu's face gradually turned blue.

He forced his heart to palpitate, clicked on the next song, and listened for another minute.

The melody has been fine-tuned, but with Jong-woo's professionalism, it's clear that Huan Tang's version is a re-make of the song Yuan Cheng sang during the recording!

What's more, the handsome young man singing with his guitar has a voice that is at least two notches better than Huan Tang's. The difference is completely visible to amateurs!

What's going on?

Huan Tang's music has been in production for a long time, so why was it revealed in a live broadcast seven days ago?

Is it a sound source leak? Or is it a problem with the person selling the song?

This kind of thing, buying and selling songs, has long become an unspoken rule in the music business market.

Huan Tang is not a great singer-songwriter, and her voice is not top-notch, but her outstanding appearance does give her extraordinary commercial value.

There is no shortage of commercial singers like Huan Tang, but there are only a few good songwriters in the industry.

Huan Tang's status is one of the kind of composers who can't reach the heavens or the earth, and she can't afford to look up to the truly outstanding composers.

Later, Cloud City began to promote her "musical talent" persona, claiming that she wrote most of her songs herself, but in reality, she bought songs from all over the world to build up her image as a talented woman.

For this fifth anniversary EP, the two main songs were composed by famous artists at an exorbitant price, while the other three were carefully selected by the company from the songs it bought, deliberately fitting the theme of this transition.

The most critical is the composer column, filled in with " Huan Tang ".

The producer threw a fit: "Check, check for me! Find out who sent these two songs that were plagiarized! Find out what the hell is going on!"

Once the story was revealed, there were so many people who tweeted Yuan Cheng for an explanation that Xiaochi Chi couldn't have missed it.

Soon, he sent out a tweet.

In the face of a mountain of questions, Xiaochi Chi did not answer even one of them, but gave only five concise words.

"...... ongoing concern."

Putting down the mouse, Xiaochi Chi began to turn the pen.

He learned how to twirl a pen to fit the character of a movie. A pen can be turned by him in more than 20 different patterns, a thousand shadows and a hundred shapes, smooth and easy.

061 has roughly guessed all of Xiaochi Chi's plans: "You've been setting him up since he was still living in Baihua Yang's house."

Xiaochi Chi corrects, "To be precise, I set him up from the moment we met." He adds, "You can recall the first time you met Baihua Yang and what I said to him when we got into the car."

061 went to look through the record library and was surprised.

At that time, the two talked about picking up Baihua Yang's parents from the train station.

Baihua Yang is intentionally evasive and unhappy about this.

Xiaochi Chi, who was driving the car, naturally changed the subject and said, "Let me play you my new demo. You are my first listener, okay?"

His attitude was so casual that 061 didn't realize what the problem was until he looked back afterwards.

The pure music Xiaochi Chi played was not at all any of "Words from the Heart", "Love You" or "Autumn Thoughts", but the song he sang during his live broadcast seven days ago!

061 wondered, "From the time you entered the mission world to the time you met with Baihua Yang, it was only a few hours. Where did you get these three songs?"

...... is Yuan Cheng's previous work?

Xiaochi Chi's attitude is very indifferent: "Copied."

061: "...... huh?"

Xiaochi Chi says, "There wasn't enough time, so I downloaded the pure music versions of the three songs and played them to Baihua Yang; later I used Yuan Cheng's skills to make simple adjustments to the three songs and sent them back to Baihua Yang."

Baihua Yang heard these songs back and forth over the past few days, and of course he thought that these three songs were Yuan Cheng's new demos.

061 puzzled: "So why go in such a big circle ......"

"For this."

Xiaochi Chi pauses his pen and points to a computer screen that shows a statement from Cloud City Entertainment's Huan Tang Studio issued a minute ago.

Cloud City's statement came out extraordinarily quickly because of the urgency of the matter.

Huan Tang Studio first apologized to Huan Tang's fans and then made it clear that the matter is being investigated and that there might be a problem with the audio leak.

The "audio leak" is a good reason for Huan Tang to become a victim.

Xiaochi Chi stroked his chin: "Oh, Cloud City is still trying to keep Huan Tang's talent persona."

061 said, "First establish the public opinion, then they can take their time to PR. But how can they be sure it must be a sound source leak and nothing else?"

Xiaochi Chi laughs, "Of course, because they reached out to Xiaoyan Yang."

061 Expansive.

...... was misled by Baihua Yang, and in Xiaoyan Yang's perception, she stole the original Xiaochi Chi demo.

As long as she can get Baihua Yang to stabilize Yuan Cheng, the dirty water can still be poured on Yuan Cheng in the end.

Xiaochi Chi said, "...... But who says that a song that comes from me is necessarily my song?"

He did mention a mention on the raffle tweet, saying that these songs for fans are rewritten songs, please do not commercialize them.

Of course, he didn't say that he wrote the song, nor did he say that he didn't write the song, the final interpretation is always on Xiaochi Chi's side.

Xiaochi Chi said, "...... want to hear about the middle and top strategies?"

061 Lost in laughter.

Xiaochi Chi This strong and vigorous look is quite cute.

He said gently, "I'm all ears."

"I was the one who had Yuan Cheng's song copied by Xiaoyan Yang," Xiaochi Chi says. Xiaochi Chi says, "When things get out of hand, it's going to be a battle between two major companies, Nebula and Cloud City. With Nebula and Jian Cheng behind me, I won't suffer much."

Xiaochi Chi paused: "...... But if this is done, who exactly is copying who, it will become a messy account that can not be pulled. Of course there are advantages, the flow era, not afraid of black spots, afraid of no conversation. If you take the middle road, Yuan Cheng and Huan Tang will probably be bound from now on, when Yuan Cheng is mentioned, she will be mentioned. The first time I saw her, I was able to get to know Huan Tang and appear on the same screen with her, which, in the opinion of many people, should be Yuan Cheng's luck.

061 Shake your head.

This does confuse everything.

"And in my upper hand, Yuan Cheng will be completely taken out. He just happened to change a few songs, he happened to have his songs stolen by Xiaoyan Yang, and he happened to be involved in this plagiarism fiasco. His songs, his person, are clean. ...... is right, but also rubbed a hot."

061 couldn't help but laugh out loud, "It's good. It's just almost fun."

Xiaochi Chi asked rhetorically, "What's the difference?"

061 said, "...... copying other people's songs and dragging unrelated people into the storm is not very good after all."

"In my plan, there are no extraneous people." Xiaochi Chi takes the end of his pen and nods to his Solar Plexus : "...... Remember, there was another person who played a significant role in Yuan Cheng's story."

"Hmm?"

Xiaochi Chi Tip 061: "That Huan Tang's iron fan, chasing Yuan Cheng scolding, pushing the public opinion to the highest - tide, do you remember?"

061 A stunned.

"Although he relied on the toxic marketing number red-hot, he used to be a musician at least. Would it be hard to find a few songs from his work a few years ago that are of a decent quality, but not too hot?"

Xiaochi Chi put the pen precisely between the pen barrel on the table with a soft clang: "...... own work was copied by his idol, do you think, he will feel honored, or angry?"

Shortly after the words were spoken, Yuan Cheng's cell phone rang.

Xiaochi Chi: " Nebula's PR response was a little slow this time. I thought they should have contacted me half an hour ago."

He picked it up and immediately turned into a six-deep soft white rabbit: "Hey, Mr. Su. Well ...... well, I saw the microblogging, also in the continued attention. You listen to me, the song I sang during the last live broadcast is a rewrite of a song by a big V on Weibo. I don't know why it clashed with Miss Huan Tang's new album ......"

Baihua Yang received the call from Xiaoyan Yang while she was at work.

Seeing the words "Xiaoyan Yang" appear on the screen, Baihua Yang became vaguely annoyed.

Recently, when he sees his family call, he always thinks of Jian Cheng's harsh demands on him, and Yuan Cheng's gentle and harmless smile, and his heart is sour.

...... Xiao Cheng's cell phone must have been confiscated by his family, and was under house arrest at home, otherwise he would have tried everything to see himself.

He was in a trance for a few seconds before he pressed the answer button: "Little ......"

Xiaoyan Yang's cries came from the other side of the phone and startled him: "Brother, brother!"

Baihua Yang's face changed slightly as she stood up from her seat with her phone and quickly walked towards the pantry, "What's going on?"

Xiaoyan Yang sobbed, anxiously stomping his feet: "...... you said Xiao Cheng brother's song has not been published, nor do you intend to publish it? Now the company has approached me, what should I do? What should I do?"
