Chapter 14： Dark belly

Chapter 14 Darkness

Lin Zhibai woke up at six o'clock in the morning again. He didn't hear any screams coming from his sister's room today. After looking at the messages in his address book, he realized that "Xiaochou" had finally reached the second place on the season list.

 Lin Zhibai was satisfied with this result.

 Clicking on "Xiaochou" on Huoshaoyun, he looked at the comments with a higher number of likes for the song.

 The most popular one.

"Raise your glass, one cup to the morning sun, one cup to the moonlight, this is my day; one cup to my hometown, one cup to the distance, this is my year; one cup to tomorrow, one cup to the past, this is half my life; one cup to freedom, one cup to freedom Death, this is my life."

 The second most popular one.

“The single is played on a loop for ten days, and there are always various dissatisfactions in life, but you always have to cheer up and start over again. Where there is light, there is darkness. In the end, we have to move forward in this joyful place of life.”

 The third most popular review.

 “Sane people often die from anger and delusion, while insensitive people often remain unscathed.”

 The fourth most popular review.

　　"What I love is not the song Maybe, what I love is the faint confusion, the faint helplessness, the traces of hesitation, and the traces of sadness in this deep and dark night. I am still me after dawn, high-spirited and unaware of sorrow."

 Fifth most popular…

The hot comments in the front row were very strong. With such a strong sense of déjà vu, Lin Zhibai couldn’t tell whether it was Huo Shaoyun or the NetEase Cloud in his previous life. Fortunately, the comments at the back were mainly in vernacular, but in fact No matter what you comment on, it is always to express your love for the song. Those who don't like it rarely have time to comment and criticize.

I don’t know how much success this song has achieved for my sister.

At this time, Lin Zhibai's ears suddenly heard the sound of the system.

 “Ding dong.”

 “Crimson.”

Lin Zhibai said hello in his heart.

Hong Kong's voice was the same as before, without any ups and downs of emotion.

“Congratulations to the host, your reputation has exceeded 100,000 and reached 160,000. Now you have a chance to win a lottery.”

 “Is it a mistake?”

Lin Zhibai frowned. He clearly saw that the number of downloads of "Xiaochou" had exceeded 16 million.

 In the end, the reputation was only calculated at 160,000, and there was only one chance to draw the lottery.

Hong Kong explained: "The system has a professional reputation calculation formula. The host will receive a lottery opportunity for every 100,000 reputations it obtains in the future."

 The final interpretation right of the legend belongs to the system?

Lin Zhibai pondered: "That means my reputation now reaches 160,000, and if I have another 40,000, I can get a second lottery chance, right?"

 Hong Kong: "Yes."

Lin Zhibai made a rough estimate.

 When the downloads of "Xiaochou" exceed 20 million, I should get another lucky draw opportunity.

Looking at the current upward trend of this song, it should only be a matter of time before the number of downloads reaches 20 million.

 The season chart is just the beginning for a song, not the end.

  Under normal circumstances, songs that can enter the seasonal charts will have a particularly tenacious vitality. If the potential is strong enough, there may be a steady stream of new listeners liking and downloading it throughout the next year.

With this calculation, the lottery opportunities given by the system are not few.

 Because the beginning of everything is the hardest. When you have more songs in the future, your accumulation speed will become faster and faster, and you will have more and more lottery opportunities.

Thinking of this.

Lin Zhibai said: "Let's draw a wave of prizes first."

The voice fell.

A turntable appeared in front of Lin Zhibai's eyes. What was written on the turntable could not be clearly seen. It scrolled very fast. After a few seconds, it gradually slowed down until it stopped. Then the system gave a prompt: "Congratulations to the host for winning the song "For Myself". Song"!"

coming.

Lin Zhibai’s eyes flashed and he immediately clicked on the song.

As Lin Zhibai's head felt tingling, he already fully understood all the information about this song.

This song has a great background and won the Golden Melody Award for Best Song of the Year.

 The lyrics are written by Li Zongsheng, the composer is Li Zongsheng, and the original singer is Li Zongsheng, who is the godfather of music.

 Later, Pan Yueming, Yang Zongwei, GAI and others all covered it, each with their own interpretation.

However, there was a very popular saying in the music industry in the previous life that "young people should not listen to Li Zongsheng". The group that pays attention to the season charts is definitely dominated by young people in Qinzhou. Young listeners are the most mainstream and core user group of the season charts.

Although the quality of this song is not problematic and is worthy of repeated listening, its style does not seem to be suitable for charting...

 Forget it, let’s not dwell on this issue for now.

 The question that Lin Zhibai needs to consider now is who to find to cooperate.

This song cannot be collaborated with Lin Shouzhuo anymore. No matter how amateur Lin Zhibai is, he still knows that this young newcomer is not suitable for this kind of song. This time, he must find a more senior singer to collaborate.

 Let's talk to my sister about recording songs when we go back to have breakfast.

 …

 At 7:30 in the morning, the nanny prepared breakfast.

When Lin Xi arrived at the restaurant downstairs, she saw Lin Zhibai already sitting there drinking soy milk, and raised his head to say hello to her.

"morning."

"morning."

Lin Xi sat down across the table, "After you recovered, you got up earlier than me every day."

 “Go to bed early.”

 After Lin Zhibai finished speaking, he asked: "When will the download share of "Xiaochou" be distributed?"

Lin Xi laughed, "It's usually distributed on the second of every month. Last month you ranked second in the season rankings. In addition to the normal share, the company will also distribute an additional bonus."

"How much?"

Lin Zhibai had some expectations.

Lin Xi pondered: "The additional bonus for second place in the season rankings is 700,000 yuan. Add in the sales share of "Xiaochou" last month, and you will get about 2.4 million yuan."

 Only more than two million?

Lin Zhibai frowned slightly.

This little money is not enough for him to carry out the second step of his plan. Regarding how to fight for family property, Lin Zhibai already had a rough planning framework in mind. The early stage can be divided into two steps.

 Step one.

Lin Zhibai wants to support a trusted person to rise to the top of the company.

Lin Zhibai’s first choice is Lin Xi, and his sister is one of the people he trusts most.

The performance of Shinhwa Entertainment is king. As long as Lin Zhibai helps her sister and improves the performance of Music Department Thirteen, she should be able to be promoted smoothly in the future, and then she will be able to work with her uncles and her cousins. capital to seize power.

Besides, my sister’s working ability is still fine.

　　When he was recording songs in the Thirteenth Department of Music, Lin Zhibai was not just recording songs. He also quietly observed the operations of the department and gleaned some useful information.

Through observation, Lin Zhibai discovered that her sister had a deep control over the department, and the employees of Music Department 13 she came into contact with spoke highly of her. She is a very popular supervisor.

 As for the performance of your sister’s department?

Think about it and know that the performance of my sister’s department will not be very good.

This has nothing to do with my sister’s personal work ability, but with my family’s situation in the company. No matter how capable a person is, it will be difficult for him to do things if he is suppressed by the senior management.

 And the second step of the plan…

 This step takes a long time to prepare because Lin Zhibai has no money!

 He must accumulate enough original capital to reach the threshold of a small private equity fund.

At the same time, Lin Zhibai has to select someone to be the manager of his private equity fund, and he, the youngest son of a chaebol family, must hide behind the scenes.

Why?

 Because the Lin Zhibai family’s foundation in mythology is too shallow!

If Lin Zhibai only supported his family and his brothers and uncles to seize power within the company, then the room for maneuver would be too small. You must know that those uncles already occupy high positions in the group, and his cousins ​​also have a certain say in the company. right.

 The first level of officialdom crushes people to death.

With these people’s deliberate suppression, my family members are always dancing in shackles when working in Shinhwa.

So Lin Zhibai needed to help his family internally in a public capacity, and at the same time, he had to quietly set up an investment institution, manipulate it under the mask of a private equity fund, and participate in the operation of Shinhwa from the outside to achieve the purpose of helping his family.

 The system is at hand.

Lin Zhibai has this confidence.

At the same time, Lin Zhibai does not have to worry about his external identity being discovered, because the basic business rules of Blue Star are very similar to those of Earth, with only a few differences.

Lin Zhibai can completely control investment institutions through private equity funds. No matter who checks, they can only find the nominal investors of the private equity funds.

 As for the actual investor?

  Sorry, we are a private equity fund and have no obligation to disclose it to the outside world.

 From this perspective, Lin Xi’s evaluation of his younger brother as “criminal” is not an exaggeration.

But at this moment, Lin Xi didn't know that her sinister brother actually had so many calculations in his mind. She stared at Lin Zhibai with interest, "How do you plan to spend such a large amount of money?"

  “Still considering.”

Lin Zhibai didn’t want to reveal his plan. After all, he was still a seventeen-year-old boy in the eyes of his family.

Lin Xi teased: "I thought you would consider buying a sports car. Most second-generation wealthy people your age like to play with cars and women. Wouldn't it be nice to drive a luxury car with your sister in black stockings?"

 “I don’t have a driver’s license yet.”

“You can learn if you don’t have a driver’s license. I can also teach you step by step. My sister’s driving skills are excellent.”

 “Are you serious about your driving skills?”

 “I have a driver’s license!”

Lin Xi suddenly changed the subject: "Do you still have a song in your hand?"

Lin Zhibai sighed softly: "All your calculations have been thrown into my bowl."

Lin Xi chuckled.

 My younger brother has proved through "Xiaochou" that he is indeed capable of music creation.

Lin Xi, who has been in the industry for so many years, certainly knows that works of the quality of "Xiaochou" are often hard to come by, and composing requires both talent and inspiration.

However, Lin Xi did not expect her younger brother to come up with another song of the caliber of "Xiaochou".

She just thought that if her brother still had some stock, the requirements were not high. If it could reach half the level of "Xiaochou", it would be considered qualified!

 If there is no inventory, based on Lin Xi's experience, after a composer completes the creation of a song like "Xiaochou", if he wants to write a qualified new song, it often takes several months to accumulate.

Even this song "Easing Sorrow" may be Lin Zhibai's short-lived brilliant moment.

Lin Xi has seen too many composers in the circle who pass by like meteors. They often disappear completely after writing a piece of work that astounds countless people.

"I…"

Lin Zhibai was about to say that he still had a song in his hand, but suddenly a pleasant system prompt sounded in his ears: "Congratulations to the host for triggering a new mission!"

The next moment, several lines of subtitles appeared in front of Lin Zhibai's eyes.

 【Task name: Impact on the season rankings】

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　DU Mission: Too many fleeting musicians in the industry have turned into meteors, which makes people wonder if you are also a flash in the pan. In the name of Bai Emperor, the host is asked to lead the Thirteen Mythical Music Parts to once again hit the top ten on the season list! 】

　　【Task Notes: The host will receive additional rewards if it reaches the top of the season rankings. 】

Lin Zhibai was happy.

Does this wave of prostitution count as a waste of money for the system?

No matter whether the system has a task or not, he will sing next.

But this mission prompt is very interesting. If you reach the top of the season rankings, will there be additional rewards?

Lin Zhibai thinks this additional question is a bit difficult. The style of this song is very special and it does not have an advantage in the charts. How can he reach the top of the season charts?

never mind.

I do n’t want to have so much. I do n’t want to give up this additional question. Let ’s take the task first.

 “Have you finished eating?”

"ah?"

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then seemed to hear what Lin Zhibai meant, and stood up suddenly and said:

 “Shouldn’t you...”

Lin Zhibai wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully, "Let's go to the company together after we finish eating."
