Chapter Eighty-Eight: Tepid
The afternoon signing party was held as scheduled, Yang Lin had a slight home advantage here, everyone was a fellow countryman, and the fans who were ready to buy pirated copies also took out money to buy genuine CDs.
That afternoon, Yang Lin had signed a total of no less than 2,000 tickets, and his wrists had already refused to listen to him, Zhang Qian suggested that he use the seal that the company had prepared a long time ago, and press it directly to finish. But Yang Lin still insisted on signing slowly, even if it was slow.
In fact, he didn't want to be lazy in his heart, but others had been queuing for so long, and it was impossible to use this seal to send people away.
Tired back to the hotel, Yang Lin first took a hot bath to wash away his fatigue, and then lay on the bed and waited for today's news. In other words, the sales in Hangzhou in one day may be able to account for one-fifth of the total sales in the country today.
I haven't entered the system for a long time, and I'm waiting anyway, so it's better to go in and see if there's anything changed. Just do it when you think of it, Yang Lin's mind sank into the system, and the first thing he saw was his gradually rising points, including rewards for completing tasks, and points brought by the increase in the number of fans.
I don't know if I don't see it, I was shocked when I saw it, and I had 751 points! This was completely enough for Yang Lin to spend a while. Looking at the number of followers, there are more than 187,000. No wonder the points have risen so fast, Yang Lin thought to himself.
looked at his attributes, he didn't meet the requirements of the task, none of them reached A, Yang Lin's strongest attribute now is his acting skills, but now he only has B+, and he is still a long way from A.
The sales statistics of the three days came out, and Yang Lin's sales of 45,000 copies can only be a small wave in the music world, not nothing. Compared to those people's bookings, the sales volume is a long time behind.
Yang Lin was a little bored, he spent so much time and energy to do this, but the results he received were not very good. He began to wonder if he was singing material, there was systematic cheating, there were big companies like Huayi Brothers, but the sales of the records he got out were not optimistic. Although it is close to the gold record, it is still not enough, and it is a big step away from Yang Lin's own goal.
The record sales are not good, mainly because Yang Lin's fame is not big, and his propaganda offensive is not very fierce, and the song list has not been handled well.
There is no fame and no good sales, so naturally there are fewer musicians to follow, and only a few professional music critics publish relevant music reviews in their blogs or magazine columns.
Korchinv (Music Critic/Professional Contributor to the "Record Jury")
Advantages: The whole album is very neat, the song arrangement, fast and slow matching, and music design are very careful, it is a record that makes people listen to it comfortably, which is both ear-catching and durable.
Disadvantages: The creativity is very unreliable, and although Yang Lin's "Elimination" is a love song with a good melody, some of the sentences in the lyrics are too deliberate and fall into clichΓ©s.
Bright score: 73 points

Jin Peida (Composer/Music Producer in China)
Advantages: Listening to him sing will still have a sense of excitement, he has a lot of possibilities to perform the lyrics, and it will not be a way of singing. And the overall music always brings a little surprise in the arrangement, even if it is just an uncommon instrument timbre. There are a few good songs that are worth listening to.
Disadvantages: The style of the whole album is monotonous, and the selection of tracks on the album falls into clichΓ©s, and the MV shooting creativity is not enough.
Bright score: 80 points

Zhu Yun (DJ/Global Chinese Song Chart Host)
Pros: Yang Lin shows the breadth and depth of his music's understanding of life on this album. He is a hard-working person, and his singing skills are not inferior to some first-line singers, but I believe there is still room to go further.
Disadvantages: The song "Elimination" sounds good for the first time, but the delicacy of this song just highlights that Yang Lin's singing skills are still not in place. The whole album is full of love songs, which makes people aesthetically tired.
Bright score: 68 points

Jing Wutian (Composer/Music Producer)
Advantages: The overall production level is very high, and there is a restrained and unassuming temperament while it is good. A little bit of hanging Lang Lang is as natural as breathing as smooth singing, all the skills you think are skills are "this way out" here, this is a realm!
Disadvantages: The theme of the album is not clear, and it lacks very prominent features, and the whole is still a bit conservative. There is a lack of surprises overall, although there are two or three good songs, but they don't mean much, they are all saliva songs, and there is almost no possibility of becoming a classic.
Bright score: 71 points

Yang Lin looked at these professional comments, and his heart was like a mess, it wouldn't be so bad. Is it really so bad to pick your own album songs? He couldn't help but ask himself.
He couldn't figure out how he spent so many points in exchange for this kind of result, the album was tepid and there was nothing new. And the music critic seems to be a little concerned about Yang Lin's feelings, and he didn't say it too much.
Yang Lin made up his mind, his first album was a product of failure, when he chose the song, he followed his own ideas, thought it was good, thought that he would be able to soar after having a system, and did not take into account the ideas put forward by professionals at all.
One of Yang Lin's advantages is that he is good at self-reflection and self-analysis, so after he faced his failure, he quickly began to self-evaluate and look for the reason for his failure.
"With this system, I thought that the world of the entertainment industry was mine, and my self-confidence swelled. I don't even listen to the professionals, and when I discuss the album with them, it's all on my own, regardless of other people's opinions. After Yang Lin withdrew from the system, he stood in front of the window and muttered to himself.
This failure made him see his own ability clearly, don't exceed his ability to do things, professional things are naturally the responsibility of professional personnel.
He exhaled and said in an inexplicable tone: "It seems that I am too smooth, after the success of "No Thieves in the World" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", I thought everything was fine." As long as there is a song and it can be sung well, it will be a big hit. β
"Bang bang" There was a quick knock on the door, and after Yang Lin adjusted his expression, he walked over and opened the door.
Standing at the door was Zhang Qian, who looked at Yang Lin anxiously, "Yang Lin, take a look at the evaluation on the Internet, it seems that it is a little not good." β
After Yang Lin let him in, he said slowly: "I've already seen all of them, there is nothing, we have already made them, can we take them back and do them again?" β
Huayi Brothers Music Company seems to be a little tender, after all, it is a company that has not been established for a long time, and Yang Lin's album should be revised when it is reviewed, I didn't think of whether to believe Yang Lin, or something else, in short, it was decided without reading it.
The new album is already a croaking baby, and it is impossible to return to the mother's belly. But Yang Lin suddenly had an idea, that is, to release a collector's edition of the CD, rearrange the songs in it, and discard some songs that did not fit the theme very well.
After he explained this idea to Zhang Qian, Zhang Qian nodded lightly, but did not agree. This time, the most professional personnel must be checked, they are all laymen.

Sorry, there are only two shifts today. In the morning, I received a notice that I would hand in my paper tomorrow, but Xingcen hadn't finished writing it yet. So I can only do the thesis first. The worse one is left to make up on Saturday, thank you for your support.
