Chapter 172: One Special Release

The purpose of this trip was publicity. Xu Rui had no plans to develop into a variety show in the future, so he recorded the entire episode without competing or fighting, and performed in a standard manner. After the end, he took a late-night flight back.

Until he returned, the online issues about the two male and female protagonists of "Dang Jiuzhou" had not subsided. Although the show was still on the air and there was no risk of being taken off the shelves for the time being, and the ratings were not greatly affected, the reputation was affected. When ordinary people talked about "Dang Jiuzhou", they didn't talk about how good the plot was, but gossiped about the two protagonists.

At home, Xu Rui was still in fear, and said to Yan Ran: "You said that when I make a notice again in the future, if a female artist knocks on my door in the middle of the night and is photographed, how should I clear my suspicion? Will you believe me?"

"Huh?" Yan Ran stretched out her hand and pinched his face, "Why do I feel that you seem to hope that this will happen?"

"I am preparing for a rainy day, and I am afraid of the worst." Xu Rui gave an example, "Suppose we are not a couple, and I am an unknown little actor who is lucky enough to live in a hotel with you, I will knock on your door at night and let someone secretly take pictures.

After taking the pictures, send the photos to paparazzi or self-media, and there will be news on the Internet that I met Director Yan late at night, and then make a clarification, saying that I met you purely to discuss the script. Whether netizens believe it or not, the traffic is in hand."

Yan Ran looked at him in surprise: "You are so black-bellied!"

Xu Rui was even more surprised: "Did you just realize it, so do you like me more now?"

"Annoying!" Yan Ran punched him.

…

After this incident, Xu Rui kept a low profile when he went out. When he found that someone was squatting at the place where he did morning exercises, he had to give up this habit he had developed over the years and go to the gym instead.

2.18, the album release date, is also Xu Rui's birthday.

Early in the morning, when the album was not unlocked, the fans who pre-ordered it couldn't wait.

"Why is it not yet 10 o'clock? I want to listen to the songs, let me listen to the songs."

"Listen to the new album in the morning and watch Xu Rui's birthday live in the afternoon. It's a happy day!"

"After listening to the audio and video of the three main songs, I have a hunch that this will be the day when Xu Rui will be deified!"

"Only death can make you deified."

"Puh, puh, puh, where did you get in, black fans, get up quickly."

"I'm not a black fan, just kidding."

"Not funny at all!"

The fans were very active in the morning, and Xu Rui also wanted to be active, but Yan Ran and Du Xiao went out early, saying that they would come back to celebrate his birthday after they were done.

The birthday party was live broadcasted at the company. According to the original plan, he would go to the company in the afternoon to put on makeup and cooperate with the staff to debug the equipment. However, he was bored at home alone, so he simply contacted Fan Shuyi and asked him to drive to pick him up. He arrived at the company in the morning.

Shenghua Entertainment still spent a lot of effort to promote his album even though it did not get any profit from the profit share. It can be seen how optimistic it is. Now many executives of the company, including Gu Qiming, are keeping an eye on this album.

"How is it?" Xu Rui asked Lu Ziliang when he arrived at the company.

Lu Ziliang had just asked, and remembered the data very clearly, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Seal Music currently has 250,000 pre-sales and 500,000 pre-sales on all platforms. This is the result of one week of pre-sales. That is to say, the album has not been launched yet, and the sales have reached 10 million, which is very impressive!

And the platform shared a very interesting data with us. According to statistics, the average number of purchases of your album is only 1.2, and the number of repeat purchases is very small. It can be seen that in addition to the support of fans, you have a very good passerby plate. I believe that after the release of this album, you will be among the first-line in terms of traffic and strength."

Xu Rui immediately said, "Oh, if you don't advance, you will retreat. You can't be complacent or proud!"

Lu Ziliang said unhappily, "If you don't raise your chin so high, I will believe it!"

At 10 o'clock, Xu Rui's first album "Over the Hills" was officially released online.

Although there are many New Year's MVs with rewritten lyrics and many film and television OSTs during the Chinese New Year, this is still the first new album, and many music critics are waiting to try it.

Huang Yifei, Weibo ID "Butterfly on the Strings", has more than 1 million fans, and is about the same popularity as "Music Bat" She Jianqiu. Compared with She Jianqiu's strictness, she is more tactful when doing music reviews and rarely offends people. Maybe this is why she, as a beautiful music critic, can never catch up with She Jianqiu, a music critic.

However, fans who are familiar with Huang Yifei know that although she speaks tactfully, she is actually not as tolerant as She Jianqiu. The word she uses most is "not bad", so that fans have summarized her.

"Not bad" means "barely make do", "not bad" means "average", and "very good" means "relatively good". Only when she changes the words and uses words such as "pleasant to the ear" and "awesome", it is a really good song, and when she uses words such as "lingering sound", "fish swimming out to listen", "extraordinary", and "heart-wrenching", it is a classic.

Huang Yifei naturally knew the fans' summary. She felt that these fans understood her. However, whenever fans asked her whether her summary was correct, she would avoid the question and say something else. At the same time, she would complain in her heart: "It's good to know. Why do you have to ask? These fans either have low EQ or are fake!"

Although music critics should be impartial, it is difficult for people to be completely unbiased. Huang Yifei liked Xu Rui during the "Original New Generation" period. On the day of pre-order, she couldn't wait to pre-order the album. Today, she got up early, took a shower and changed clothes. She wanted to sweep the floor and burn incense, but she felt it was too exaggerated, so she gave up.

In short, at ten o'clock, she put on headphones and sat in front of the computer. With great anticipation, she clicked the "Play All" button, leaned back in the chair, closed her eyes, and listened to the entire album in order.

"Back to the starting point again

Your immature face in my memory

..."

Huang Yifei's eyelashes moved with her eyes closed. This fresh campus style is different from the three main songs released for trial listening.

"The design idea of ​​this album..." Huang Yifei quickly shook her head, not thinking about it, focusing on the song, closing her eyes, following the music, and soon a strong sense of picture flooded into her mind, reminding her of the most beautiful, pure, and carefree time in school. Maybe she didn't understand love, but she liked it very purely. It reminded her of her heartbeat when she was holding an umbrella with the boy she liked on a rainy day.

Huang Yifei closed her eyes and listened to the song, and the corners of her mouth rose and fell, thinking of the beauty of those years, but she found that after so many years, she had lost contact with the other party, and only memories were left together.

After a song was over, she wanted to press pause and open the notepad to write some thoughts first, but her hands were on the keyboard, so she stopped again and decided to continue listening and finish the whole album.
