Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 236 College Entrance Examination

No one survived in the group.

Wei Qianqian: "Wow, AngelBaby is helping us promote our album!"

Zhang Lina: "I saw it, ahhh, she is so nice!"

Wei Qianqian: “Hehehe, she really bought it, and even posted the purchase record. There’s also a super cute emoticon package!”

Zhang Lina: "He is such a nice person!!!"

Zhao Hang: "I saw it too. Do you think her promotion this time can help sell out our 10,000 copies?"

Xu Ruochen: "You're overthinking it. Although you think she's a star, her current popularity is mostly due to Huang Xiaoming. It's just inflated, at most it's just publicity, it won't have much influence."

Bai Yao: “I bought 14.”

Wei Qianqian: "Senior, I love you!"

Bai Yao: "Well, I'm going to training. Do you want to come to Yun Province to play?"

Wei Qianqian: "We can't go. We have to attend Midi after the holiday!"

Bai Yao: "June 6th, Century Park?"

Wei Qianqian: "Senior, do you know?"

Bai Yao: "I go there every year. Of course I know."

Wei Qianqian: "Then you probably can't participate this time."

Bai Yao: "Emm... not necessarily. Isn't the 18th a Saturday? I'll just say I'm not feeling well and fly back to see you then."

Zhang Lina: "It's such an honor to have such a loyal fan like you."

Zhao Hang: "It's such an honor to have such a loyal fan like you."

Wei Qianqian: "It's such an honor to have such a loyal fan like you."

Xu Ruochen: "You guys are repeating yourself. But to be honest, without the senior, the LIVE is simply soulless."

Bai Yao: "Ha, I'm going to training. By the way, where's Lu Yao?"

Xu Ruochen: "@Lu Yao, come out and get beaten!"

Zhao Hang: "@Lu Yao, come out and get beaten!"

Wei Qianqian: "Come out and get beaten @Lu Yao!"

Zhang Lina: "Come out and get beaten by your senior sister! @路遥"

As a result, Lu Yao's response fell into oblivion.

He was so immersed in the ocean of code at the moment that he didn't even look at the group message.

Time quietly came to the evening, and Happy Camp, which has maintained a national ratings of over 2.5 for many years, started broadcasting on time.

And 11 minutes into the show, No One Survives' first song "Know Me" was released.

Within the group.

Wei Qianqian: "This seems to be a recorded version, not a live one."

Zhang Lina: "I also noticed that Lu Yao's voice is not right."

Zhao Hang: "Damn, I only have one shot?"

Xu Ruochen: "It's really not our LIVE version."

Zhao Hang: "How disgusting! The live version of "Know Me" is obviously better than the recording. What's going on?"

Wei Qianqian: "Let me ask Chen Pu?"

Xu Ruochen: "Don't ask, there's no point in asking. I guess the ones that come after this might all be recorded versions... If 'Chasing Dreams' is also a recorded version, I'll be speechless."

Zhao Hang: "If it's a recorded version, that's fine. What I'm afraid of is that it will be like that day. They haven't heard our song and they insist that Lu Yao's voice is broken."

Wei Qianqian: "To be honest, if we follow the theme of the show, the first half is a fashion festival, and when we play those stupid games in the end, it should be to cheer on the students taking the college entrance examination. So, "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart" should be the last song, we'll see when the time comes."

Xu Ruochen: "@Lu Yao, have you seen it?"

Lu Yao didn't even read it.

He is sleeping.

By the time everyone regained consciousness, it was almost 11 o'clock in the evening.

"Well……"

He blinked blankly, and the only light left in the entire laboratory was the bright computer screen.

what time is it?
He subconsciously picked up his phone, and after seeing the time 10:57, he saw a lot of messages.

Wei Qianqian's, Xu Ruochen's, Bai Yao's, Xu Ruochu's, Shen Wan's...

A lot of people.

There are even former high school and junior high school classmates.

what's the situation?
He was a little puzzled, but had no time to care.

Because he felt a little dizzy.

Looks like I have low blood sugar.

When was the last time you had a meal?

His consciousness, which had not yet fully recovered, began to recall, and he realized belatedly that he had drunk a cup of coffee in the morning, ran two laps, and then bought a sandwich and a box of milk in the cafeteria.

This is all I ate today.

Without the senior schoolmate to bring him meals, he really became an "orphan".

No, I’m so hungry, I need to eat.

He went straight into the bathroom, washed his face quickly, and walked out of the laboratory.

While walking, he looked at his phone.

Only then did I realize that Happy Camp had already ended.

Many people sent him congratulatory text messages, but Xu Ruochen only asked him to read the group messages.

He ignored it for the time being and read every one of them.

Most of them were congratulations, and some even said that he bought the band's album.

Lu Yao edited a text message saying "Thanks. I was sleeping and just saw it when I woke up. Sorry." and replied to everyone except a few people in the band.

Then I opened the QQ group.

After reading all the chat records, I realized...

The Shonan Taibang band even edited the sound of "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart".

He was also speechless.

Can the song be tuned?

Can't you even play the studio version?
This also needs audio editing?
Then I saw the latest news in the group.

Wei Qianqian: "Lu Yao has woken up."

Zhao Hang: "I saw it too."

Wei Qianqian: "@Lu Yao, come out."

Lu Yao: "Here it comes, the sound of Chasing Dreams has also been revised?"

Zhao Hang: "Yes, the only part of the whole program that was not edited was the line from the village girl: I like JJ Lin."

Lu Yao: "..."

Zhao Hang: "So disgusting. And I saw a lot of people on the Internet criticizing them, saying they were promiscuous."

Wei Qianqian: "Lu Yao, go watch the slicing video, it's so ugly!"

Lu Yao: "It doesn't matter. I won't go to that show again anyway. It doesn't matter if it's bad. How's the album selling?"

Wei Qianqian: "[Screenshot], Taobao shows that 3271 tickets were sold, I don't know if that's true or not."

Lu Yao: "Is this a good result?"

Wei Qianqian: "Chen Pu said it was great. He is going to print another 2000 copies. He said that a new band like us can sell 3000 copies on the first day of releasing an album, which is already top-notch. Did you look at our chat history? He asked me if I wanted to start promoting. We don't care, it depends on you. If we start promoting, we will have to appear on various programs, but it will be very good for album sales and fame."

Lu Yao: "Do you not care, or are you waiting for me?"

Xu Ruochen: "I didn't say anything because you weren't here. I think it's best for us to vote and express our stance."

Zhao Hang: "@Zhang Lina, country girl, come out and vote."

Lu Yao: "As for me... to be honest, time is a bit tight. Also, I was traumatized by the base camp. I was not very happy with that recording. So if possible, I don't really want to promote it, so I voted against it."

Wei Qianqian: "Then I'll give up, because I don't care. If you want to do it, do it. If you don't want to do it, then don't do it."

Zhao Hang: "I want to give up, too... I don't care. I have the same opinion as Lu Yao. I think everyone just wanted to play music in the beginning. We are against commercialization. Besides... I don't like being put together with programs like Base Camp. I think they are wasting our hard work."

Xu Ruochen: "Then there's actually no need for village girls to vote. You two abstained, and I, like Lu Yao, refused. It's not because I'm unhappy, but because of my family. I told my family that we just got together because we like music, but... To be honest, if one day I really became a so-called "star", my family would be furious. And I don't want to be a star. The circle is too chaotic, and it would bring shame to the family. This is my reason."

Zhang Lina: "Then my vote is useless."

Zhang Lina: "And I don't care. I have two psychological burdens. First, I don't want Xu Ruochen to lose money. I want to help him make more money, at least to get his money back. I also want Teacher Wu and the others to make some money. Otherwise, I always feel burdened when they help me."

Zhang Lina: "Second... you just have to promise me that you won't refuse any show that has JJ Lin on it. I don't care if you participate in other shows or not."

Zhao Hang: "What do you like about him? Can I ask him to change his career?"

Zhang Lina: "JJ Lin is my husband!!!"

Lu Yao: "..."

Wei Qianqian: “…”

Xu Ruochen: “…”

Bai Yao: "..."

Zhao Hang: "The child is hopeless... Senior, are you okay?"

Bai Yao: "I was just about to go to bed, and I glanced at the group chat and saw you guys chatting. It's okay, I'm going to sleep."

When Lu Yao was speechless about the village girl's lewd words, he received a message from Bai Yao:

"I'm going to bed. Will you come see me next week?"

Lu Yao thought about it and replied:
"It depends on the situation. If there's something wrong, I won't be able to get through. If there's nothing wrong, I'll come find you."

"Okay. Goodnight. I missed you."

"Good night."

While chatting, he also walked to the cafeteria.

Then, I suddenly thought of something.

Why don't you ride a bike yourself?
He subconsciously glanced at the direction he came from and shook his head speechlessly.

Then he quickly walked into the cafeteria, grabbed the few midnight snacks available, ordered a lot and started eating.

He was indeed hungry, and his brain was in a state of extreme fatigue.

I don't care about albums, music, online reviews, or anything like that.

Nothing is more important than filling your stomach.

While I was eating, my cell phone dinged.

He took it out and saw that it was Yang Ying.

Then I remembered that when I was climbing the stairs, I saw a screenshot and she seemed to be helping promote the album.

"You just woke up?" After seeing this message, Lu Yao thought for a moment and replied:

"Well, I just woke up."

"So, are you going to sleep at night?"

"Go to sleep. I'm having a midnight snack. I'll go back to sleep after I finish eating."

“I’ve listened to the album, it’s super good!”

"Ha, thank you. Thank you for your help in promoting it."

"Hey, are you still in the Magic City?"

"Correct."

"What about tomorrow? Where are you going?"

"Still in the Magic City."

“You’re not going to promote the album?”

"No, we don't have any promotional plans, and I have things to do here."

"So, you haven't been leaving for a while?"

"It should be. What's wrong?"

After he sent this message, Yang Ying did not reply.

Lu Yao didn't think about it and continued eating.

He was really hungry.

After taking a few bites, the phone rang again with a "ding" sound:

"Where are you?"

It’s still Yang Ying.

"School."

"Fuhua?"

"Ah."

"Then you will go back to your girlfriend later?"

Lu Yao was stunned, thinking that he and her seemed to have never talked about the fact that he had a girlfriend?

After thinking for a while, he replied:

"No, she went home. I'm going back to the dorm."

Then, a text message came:
"Then come find me?"

Lu Yao was stunned.

In an instant, the beauty of that night or two nights emerged in my mind.

Unfortunately, he only remembered it for one night.

But that night was indeed exaggerated enough.

Of all the women he had been with, she was the only one who was truly made of water. And the twitching that looked like cramps and the pink color all over her body...

He sat up slightly.

After thinking for a moment, he replied:

"No, it's too late."

No reply to the text message.

Only after he had devoured everything in a whirlwind did Yang Ying's message come back:

"Didn't you just wake up?"

"I'll go straight back to the dormitory in a moment."

"Well... okay. I'm going to Hengdian to film in a few days."

She seemed to be reminding someone implicitly.

Lu Yao understood it, but he didn't have any other thoughts.

In fact, to put it bluntly, apart from the halo of "star", all the girls around her... are no worse than her.

What's more, he just came back from Xu Ruochu's place last night.

After thinking for a while, he replied:
"OK, then work hard, I'm going back to the dormitory."

Yang Ying did not reply.

Lu Yao went all the way back to the dormitory, only to find... there was no one there.

Mr. Xu has gone home, and Old Yu... should have gone to Nantong to accompany the A4 rich lady, right?

Where is Lao Liu doing?

He was a little puzzled, but he didn't think much about it, and didn't even dare to call the Liu and Yu brothers to ask.

Afraid of being drafted into the army.

Then, he took a look at his newly bought HTC and saw two messages from Hu Li.

He called back directly.

It was just after 3pm London time, and Hu Li's voice was full of energy. He started by saying to Lu Yao:

"Baby, I bought your album!"

"what."

Lu Yao laughed out loud.

Sure enough, no one is better than our own Hu Dabao.

"Hu Dabao, I miss you."

"..."

Hu Li, who had no idea when he would return home, suddenly became mentally devastated.

……

The album sales of And Then There Were None actually did not make a particularly big splash in the music market.

The reason is very simple. From the perspective of the industry, this June, at least for now, is quite brutal.

First, Wang Feng released the album "Nothing Else to Ask For", followed by Li Jian's "Still", and then, the most important one, Zhang Liangying, who was promoted so heavily and built up to be an international superstar, also released her new album "Change".

Others are spending real money on promotion and marketing to get on various music charts and shows.

These well-known singers spend real money on publicity every day, but a small hit like "And Then There Were None" is barely visible. Apart from a single show on Happy Camp, they haven't done any marketing at all and they fit the definition of a "lone wolf" very well, so naturally, they didn't make much of a splash.

As for the outside world, as for the online audio source, although Kuwo has the exclusive right, it only cost RMB 100,000.

But Kuwo users can listen to it for free.

Who would spend money to buy albums when there are free MP3 downloads?

Therefore, the sales of more than 3,000 copies are actually the most profitable among the current most golden group of paying users in the country.

However, on the Kuwo Music chart, compared to "Flowers" which had disappeared a long time ago, "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart" suddenly showed a very strong upward trend.

In the new song chart, it entered the top 12 just hours after its release.

It’s just a pity that the music platform at that time was not like the future, with message boards and other features that would allow singers to intuitively feel the feedback from listeners.

But it is true that according to the data feedback given to Chen Pu by the people of Kuwo, all the songs of "And Then There Were None" were on the list, including the re-popular "Flowers".

Remember, it's only been 12 hours.

According to Kuwo, as long as they continue like this, these songs may all make it into Kuwo’s music gold charts.

If you can enter the rankings and be seen by users, you can expand your popularity, drive album sales, and you may also receive many commercial performances.

However, these advantages only made the five-member group feel a little better on the second day of the album release.

Nothing else.

Since everyone has decided not to go commercial, Chen Pu really has no choice as the contract terms clearly stipulate that the band has the right to choose for themselves.

But... Chen Pu is not in a hurry either.

Because, during the contract drafting process, he suddenly got to know several big guys.

A true industry leader.

The kind that lives in heaven.

The boss personally made the call and gave instructions.

Although they didn’t mention their relationship with the band, it seemed from their words that these kids were their juniors.

Just play around and make them happy.

As for you, the agent...

In other words, for Chen Pu, being able to get the boss's contact information and leaving an impression on him was a gain he had never dared to imagine.

Because, for practitioners in the industry like them, sometimes a certain resource may require a lot of fighting, but for the big guys, it is just a matter of words.

So when Chen Pu learned about the band's ideas, he had no other ideas.

Any ideas?
Give full support to these ancestors.

Talented and with background.

If they really want to be famous... they don't even need an agent like me.

So, he had no opinion.

And he has received the best reward.

The boss gave him a phone number and told him to contact the other party directly if he had any problems in the future.

He got more than he imagined.

Naturally, there is nothing else to ask for.

On June 6, Shanghai Star TV released a 7-minute video to encourage students to take the college entrance exams.

Cheer for the college entrance examination students.

The BGM used is "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart".

All of a sudden, the song became more valuable.

And, the most important thing is that they used the version from the recording studio, which was even quoted by netizens on the Internet to mock Happy Camp.

However, these mocking remarks were in the minority after all, and the band was not very famous, so it eventually came to nothing.

6 month 9 number.

The college entrance examination is conducted uniformly across the country.

The areas around all the major schools in the Magic City seem to have become a lot quieter.

For Lu Yao, the college entrance examination has become a thing of the past.

Don't care at all.

But... on this day, he received a call from Zheng Xiaofan.

"Lu Yao, come to the office. I have something to discuss with you."
