Chapter 150: The system is cramping
In the Ulsan community, Chu Mo'er looked at Wang Nicole who was fiddling with the computer, her long eyelashes blinked, and her eyes were full of doubts.
"Of course." Nicole Wang explained, "You think, if you want to make a new record, it costs money to make it, right? The media propaganda asks for money, right? Radio stations and video websites ask for money, right? These are all costs, and then as soon as the record is released, how many young people nowadays will go to the video store to buy genuine records? Wouldn't it be nice to download it online, so it's all lost. β
"Then ......," Chu Mo'er asked again, "What do these record companies rely on to survive?" β
"It's up to the artist." Wang Nicole said, "Now the main profit point of these entertainment companies is in the commission of artists' commercial performances and advertising endorsements. The link of releasing records has become a cost investment for packaging and making an artist popular. That's why the current global wants to sign you so much, the manufacturers have already pointed to your name to find you as an endorsement, and the costs involved, I think it's already hundreds of millions, this is the lifeblood of the record company! β
"Oh." Chu Mo'er nodded, and then praised, "Nicole, you know so much." β
"It's all my dad suing me." Wang Nicole scratched her head embarrassedly, and then said, "My dad is still worried, I am now starting a business with Ye Luo, if I just make music, I am afraid I will not make money." Both Universal and Dream Records lose money, so why can't Ye Luo lose money? β
Chu Mo'er smiled slightly: "I believe that Ye Luo, he will definitely have a way." β
"I hope so." Wang Nicole sighed, as she spoke, her fingers pressed on the keyboard, and then frowned, "Why are there so few comments under Ye Luo's MV?" The number of visits to WΓ¨n is also only more than 3,000. Is this impossible? β
"Is there a problem with the video site?" Chu Mo'er also felt that this was abnormal. Ningmei asked.
"Who knows." Wang Nicole said depressedly, and then she refreshed the webpage again, "Wow, there was an announcement on the Leshi website, saying that the server in the public video release area was overloaded this afternoon because of the unexpected surge in the number of visits. The number of guides is stagnant, and it is currently gradually repairing the comments of netizens and the number of visits to wΓ¨n number jΓΉ. β
"How much did you visit the MV below?" Chu Mo'er put down the book in her hand.
"Six thousand! Wait, I'll refresh it again. β
"More than 10,000!"
"Fifty thousand!"
"100,000! I'll refresh it again. Wow! 300,000! β
Chu Mo'er interrupted with a smile: "Oh, okay, are you auctioning?" Let's wait until it's completely repaired before refreshing. β
Wang Nicole looked excited, holding the notebook and jumped up: "I'll go next door to find Yingying and tell her the good news." This afternoon, she saw that the number of video interviews was so small, and she thought that she didn't do a good job of video, which dragged Ye Luo down, and hid in the toilet and cried secretly. β
"Then I'll go with you." Chu Mo'er was a little embarrassed. "I've been reading books for the past two days, and I haven't noticed any of these details."
"Well, do you want to inform Ye Luo again?"
"No need." Chu Mo'er smiled, as if she knew Ye Luo very well, "As far as his kind of dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, after sending the video, it is estimated that he will not look at it." β
β¦β¦
Upstairs, Ye Luo's studio is brightly lit.
Put down the textbook in your hand. Ye Luo rubbed his temples and glanced up at the clock on the wall.
"It's eleven o'clock so soon?" Ye Luo shook his head. He said to himself, "Hurry up and go to sleep." β
got up and turned off the lights, Ye Luo walked out of the studio, and was just about to push open the bathroom door when he heard several girls downstairs screaming.
"500,000! Nicole, refresh again! β
"Five hundred and fifty thousand! Come again and again! β
"600,000! Oh my God! β
"It's still rising, it's still rising!"
"I'll just say, a delicate woman like me......"
Ye Luo didn't know what they were doing at all. muttered: "In the middle of the night, such a howl, I am not afraid to summon the wolf......"
While speaking, Ye Luo shook his head and pushed open the door of the bathroom. Start brushing your teeth and washing.
After washing up, Ye Luo returned to his bedroom, and just went to bed, but his mobile phone rang.
You don't need to look at the number, Ye Luo knows that this point will call, only Qin Shiyue.
Sure enough, as soon as the phone was connected, Qin Shiyue's sweet and lazy voice came to his ears, and hearing this voice when he was about to fall asleep was tantamount to a spiritual relaxation massage.
"Prince Headline, your sword is very successful this time."
"Oh? Where does this begin? Ye Luo is also used to it, talking to Qin Shiyue, you can't be more serious, otherwise she will be tricked around.
"This afternoon, I deliberately looked at the media in Tianjing, and I was silent, as if I was ignoring your "Exaggeration". It seems that as soon as you threw this song out, you caught them off guard. β
"Thank you Sister Qin, you can do it for me in the recording studio, it's really a great favor for me." Ye Luo said earnestly.
"Which of us owes more to whom, I know in my heart." Qin Shiyue changed her words and said, "This afternoon, the mobile phone number I transferred to my assistant was once again blown up by the media in Shangdu. They were very excited when they saw the MV you posted. Look at it, starting tomorrow morning, the media in Shangdu is going to fight a public opinion counterattack for you. β
"Oh? It's a bit embarrassing to say. Ye Luo smiled, "They confiscated my money again, but they were waving the flag for me." β
"They're just borrowing your popularity. By the way, my new album has exceeded 700,000 sales today, and according to this trend, it should not be a problem to sell one million, which is a rare achievement in the record industry in recent years. Qin Shiyue said again, "Tomorrow night, we will hold a celebration dinner for this." I would like to invite you and Chu Mo'er to attend, is it convenient for you to come over? β
Ye Luo was silent for a while, and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Qin, Mo'er and I are both preparing for next week's final exams, and it's really inconvenient to attend, please forgive me." β
"That's it......" Qin Shiyue's tone was a little lost, and then she immediately recovered, "It's been several years since I left school, and I forgot that this time period is for the final exam." This is my negligence, so I won't bother you, good night. β
"Well, good night."
Hung up the phone. Ye Luo sighed slightly, the dream celebration dinner, with the progress of his and Chu Mo'er's review in recent days, there is no problem in participating in it.
It's just that now the contract negotiations between Chu Moer and Universal will continue, and it is really not appropriate to make any more branches, otherwise the media that has just been suppressed by a song. It will be like being beaten with chicken blood, and Chu Mo'er will definitely be under some unnecessary pressure.
In this way, it will not be a dinner party, and before the final exam, Ye Luo will not have time to release a new song.
Stretched out his hand to turn off the light, and within a few minutes, Ye Luo fell asleep.
β¦β¦
As Qin Shiyue said, Ye Luo's new song MV has given Shangdu media enough confidence and strength. Thursday morning. A public opinion counterattack war closely around the theme of "the pride of Shangdu should not be insulted" has begun!
After a night of brewing, one news newsletter after another, one review after another, was born, retouched, and finalized on the desks of each editorial department, on the keyboard of the rapid tapping, and between the manuscripts of the hard work, and then circulated through various channels.
Thursday early in the morning. The result of these editors' all-night, all-night-working work. began to appear in front of people's eyes one after another.
In this cosmopolitan metropolis on the southeast coast, people pick up newspapers when they buy breakfast, when they go to work in the network that they secretly connect to when their supervisors are not there, in the radio they hear when they take a taxi, and on the square screen they look up when they cross the street. It's almost all Ye Luo, and his "Pompous"!
On this early summer morning, the city seems to have become a "pompous" city.

Shangdu Radio Station reported the news at eight o'clock in the morning: "Let's pay attention to Ye Luo, the new song that was just released yesterday." β
β¦β¦
Not only in Shangdu, but all over the country, the media heat wave brought by the song "Exaggeration" has continued to heat up for several days. Even the media in Tianjing, after remaining silent all night, began to send reports about Ye Luo's new song in succession.
As a media, they will not have a grudge against attention, of course, they did not mention the contract issue of Universal Entertainment this time.
However, this qiΔ seems to have nothing to do with Ye Luo, he walked into the class on time like a while ago, and after being praised by his classmates vigorously on the shoulder, and being scolded by Niu Xueyi with a few words, he spread out his books and went to class to prepare for the exam with peace of mind.
It's not that Ye Luo is really afraid that he won't be able to get credits and get a graduation certificate. In the composition department, he and Guo Zhen are also good scholars for a while, and for him, even if he pulls down the course for two months, it is not a big problem to sharpen his gun and get eighty or ninety points.
But Ye Luo knew that he didn't have much time left in school. After the final exams of his junior year, once he was promoted to his senior year, there were very few courses, most of them were off-campus internships, so he cherished his time in school.
Even if there has been a lot of uproar outside for his new song, for Ye Luo, life is simple and fulfilling in this classroom, studio, and canteen.
In a blink of an eye, it was Saturday, and the global entertainment business negotiation team led by Xiong Pinggui came to Shangdu on Friday and stayed at the Biquan Hotel again.
Chu Moer's third round of contract negotiations with Universal Entertainment reopened after a week of waiting. (To be continued......)
