All-rounder Artist - Chapter 221: Cleaning House_i
The next day.
Chen Zhiyu started officially recording!
Generally, professional singers need to do a lot of “sound check” besides their usual practice and thinking before an official recording.
With everything ready, the official recording for professional singers begins.
There is always one or more than one supervisor for the singer besides the sound engineer.
Everyone’s goal is to identify the shortcomings of the singer’s performance and to grasp the emotions of the song.
This process often takes a day.
Chen Zhiyu was among the quicker batch.
He completed the recording of “Change Myself” in just one morning, and even that under the direct supervision of Lin Yuan—
This shows he was in a good state and performed above standard.
After recording, the remaining tasks were none of Lin Yuan’s concern.
Lin Yuan couldn’t care less…
He only got 30% of the download revenue, who cares about the rest.
Yes, Chen Zhiyu is a top-tier singer, and the company has plans to win him over.
So in Lin Yuan’s contract with him, the download revenue share is according to the top-tier standard, in which he as a composer gets 30% of the profit.
When he signed the contract, Lin Yuan already missed Sun Yaohuo.
Senior Yao Huo’s professional ability is not worse than Chen Zhiyu, but he gets less money. The price-performance ratio is much better than Chen Zhiyu’s.
On the other hand.
After listening to the recorded “Change Myself”, Chen Zhiyu’s agent Liu Mou was delighted: “This wave, this wave…”
Chen Zhiyu quickly covered his agent’s mouth!
This guy, trying to jinx it again!
His agent mumbled for a while before he had a chance to speak, somewhat discontentedly: “Let me finish, actually I was going to say, this wave doesn’t feel very secure.”
Chen Zhiyu brightened up, he agreed: “Yes, it might not be easy to take the first place this time.”
The agent laughed again: “But your condition today was quite good.”
Chen Zhiyu warned: “No, no, I’ve been busy with the company transition lately, I haven’t even had time to review.”
“Review?”
“Yes, for the part of the refrain, I don’t think I did well. But that’s really the best I could do. I guess I didn’t pass the test this time.”
“Test?”
“Yes, releasing a new song for the new season is just like taking a test, pity that I didn’t have time to review. I guessed a few answers, also the time was a bit rushed…”
Liu Mou:
Are these the lines for a study geek?
Reverse psychology is the most lethal?
Meanwhile, in the outside world.
The news that Chen Zhiyu jumped from Dazzling Entertainment to Starlight had already spread.
Recently, there have been countless news about company transfers, but Chen Zhiyu’s move to Starlight has attracted a lot of attention.
Because everyone in the industry knows the reason why Chen Zhiyu has been the Perennial Runner-up is because of Starlight.
Normally, it would be possible for Chen Zhiyu to go anywhere, but going to Starlight was unexpected for many people.
Not to mention the insiders, even the onlookers have started discussing cheerfully:
“What’s this operation?”
“So, if you can’t beat them, join them huh?”
“Is Admirable Fish too strong, so they joined the company where Admirable Fish belongs?”
“Has Chen Zhiyu’s fish phobia deteriorated to its late stage?”
“Damn smart, join Starlight, no more being targeted by Admirable Fish…”
“Chen Zhiyu still holds weight, Dazzling Entertainment has a strong competitor in Starlight!”
“Chen Zhiyu: Teacher Admirable Fish, don’t shoot, we’re on the same side!”
“Chen Zhiyu: Not only can I surrender, but I can also lead the way for Teacher Admirable Fish, look, there’s Dazzling Entertainment, aim and fire!”
“Dazzling Entertainment: Damn.”
“Dazzling: We have a traitor.”
Perhaps the discussions within the industry brought Chen Zhiyu a sudden wave of popularity, and Starlight even capitalized on the momentum and promoted Chen Zhiyu’s new song through all the company’s major channels.
Meanwhile.
Chen Zhiyu also took the first opportunity to promote his new song to his fans on Tribe, “Change yourself to change the world, I’m Chen Zhiyu, my new song ‘Change Myself’ will be released next month, stay tuned!”
Unlike fans of other stars who maintain an idol image.
Most of Chen Zhiyu’s fans like to tease this top-tier singer. Even among Chen Zhiyu’s fans, a significant number subscribe to him because of his Perennial Runner-up label, hence the comments are full of laughter:
“Hahahahaha you can change yourself?”
“The name of this song amusingly hit my funny bone.”
“Dazzling: Is this the way you change yourself?”
“Change myself from being Admirable Fish’s opponent to Admirable Fish’s teammate, this is true change indeed.”
“Your change is already thorough!”
“But one thing will not change. Feeling sorry for you in advance…”
“You might…”
“still end up…”
“coming in second…”
“I bet a spicy stick, Chen Zhiyu will still take second place in the new season!”
“I bet my 82-year-old Coke that Chen Zhiyu will never win the championship!”
Fans and netizens are just joking. Although Chen Zhiyu has come second many times, it’s obviously a probability event.
Chen Zhiyu just had bad luck and ran into Admirable Fish several times, which is why he kept finishing second.
If Admirable Fish wasn’t there, Chen Zhiyu’s song would have come in first in several previous rounds.
Now Admirable Fish will no longer target him, because Admirable Fish is also part of Starlight.
So, this time Chen Zhiyu really has a chance to come in first.
Some people have even counted the list of singers who will release songs next month and found out that including Chen Zhiyu, there are only three top-tier singers who will release songs.
“The competition is neither big nor small.”
“One-third chance of winning the championship?”
“No, no, no, although Chen Zhiyu has been labeled as the Perennial Runner-up for so long, his fame has actually risen due to this label, which can attract a lot of attention to his new song.”
“Yes, people have a rebellious psychology, many people may not be able to resist giving Chen Zhiyu support, helping him to get rid of the title of Perennial Runner-up.”
“Anyway, I will not resist listening to Chen Zhiyu’s new song, let’s give him some support if it’s not bad.”
Netizens’ analysis hit the nail on the head.
Even the insiders agreed with this analysis, but everyone ignored one thing:
Dazzling Entertainment, is not happy.
Chen Zhiyu was one of the top singers under Dazzling Entertainment.
Now that he’s switched to Starlight, and made it known to the whole world, Dazzling has lost face!
But that’s not the point.
The real point is…
Dazzling, like Starlight, has been very absent from the new song charts recently.
The old big three in Qin Continent, how come they can’t even get to the top three in the new song chart now?
Unacceptable!
So the day after Starlight announced that Chen Zhiyu would release a new song next month, Dazzling Entertainment announced:
[The King of Singing Fei Yang will release a new song “Brahma Star” next month!]
Dazzling’s clever move was originally to grab the first place in the new song chart next month, but the outside world sees a different story:
Chen Zhiyu transferred to Starlight.
Dazzling is sending the King of Singing to clean house!
