The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 458 Queen Lin Shuwen

After Lin Shuwen's new album was released, she became busy.

The first thing to do is definitely the album signing event. This week Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen are still wearing each other's clothes, so Luo Ming will also attend the signing event.

Fortunately, Lin Shuwen's signature was also an artistic signature designed by someone else, and Luo Ming also practiced it specially, so it would definitely not be exposed.

The first stop of the book signing event was naturally in Shanghai, and the book signing event in Shanghai lasted not one day, but two days.

Luo Ming was still very curious about the book signing event, mainly because he had never experienced such a thing.

When Lin Shuwen learned that she was interested in Luo Ming's book signing event, she simply invited him to attend on the first day.

Luo Ming agreed immediately.

At 8: in the morning, Luo Ming and Chen Sichu came to the hotel venue rented by Huayue Entertainment on a female account.

The signing event started at 9 o'clock. As soon as Luo Ming arrived, he was "surrounded" by the professional team arranged by Sister Shan.

Some of these people were putting on makeup, while others were explaining the procedures of the book signing event. They seemed to be busier than the real people.

At 9 o'clock sharp, Luo Ming arrived at the venue surrounded by a professional team.

Today's female candidate is wearing jeans and a slim-fitting blouse, with a baseball cap on her head and a pair of very common white canvas shoes on her feet, looking like a young and beautiful female college student.

"Wenwen is out!"

"Wow! Wenwen looks so approachable today!"

"Wow, woo, woo~ Wenwen and I are wearing the same clothes."

"I'm wearing the same clothes as you, why are you crying?"

"It's not a big deal to wear the same clothes as others, but it's embarrassing for the ugly one."

Luo Ming certainly couldn't hear what these people were saying at this moment. He followed the process explained by the professional team, took two steps forward, waved to the people who came to participate in the event today, and said: "Hello everyone, I am Lin Shuwen."

A simple greeting made the crowd boil and the cheers were deafening.

"Thank you all for taking the time to attend my book signing event. Thank you all for your support for my new album." After saying this, Luo Ming bowed to the crowd.

This made the people attending the book signing event even more excited.

Afterwards, under the organization of the staff, everyone lined up in a long queue.

The first person in line was a girl with a round face who looked to be in her early 20s. She handed over the album with both hands and said with a red face, "Sister Wenwen, you are my fan, no, I am your fan. I especially like your song "The Wind Rises."

The girl got very nervous when she heard this. Luo Ming smiled at her and took the album and said, "Thank you very much for coming to my book signing event. Thank you for your support. Do you want to sign it?"

"Yes! My name is An Yuemiao, An for peace of mind, Yue for moon, Sanshuimiao."

Luo Ming nodded, signed his name, and then handed the album back to her with both hands.

The girl took a photo with "Lin Shuwen" holding the album and then turned and left.

This is basically the process of a book signing event. When fans meet their idols, unless they have prepared what to say in advance, they will usually be like this little girl, a little nervous, and maybe even incoherent.

After signing more than a dozen, Luo Ming began to feel a little bored.

He glanced at the endless line of people behind him and suddenly felt a chill on his scalp.

There are too many of them! If they keep signing, their hands will break.

"I shouldn't have been curious about this autograph session before." Luo Ming thought to himself.

The autograph session on the first day didn't end until 9:11 in the evening. We took an hour break to eat something. In total, we signed autographs for a total of and a half hours, most of which were to-signs.

Luo Ming felt that he had not written so many words since the college entrance examination.

"I'm so tired!" Luo Ming collapsed on the sofa as soon as he came back and couldn't get up.

Seeing this, Lin Shuwen smiled and said, "Now you know how difficult it is to hold a book signing event!"

"Yeah." Luo Ming responded weakly.

"It's okay. From tomorrow on, we'll each take half a day. A week will pass quickly. By the way, let me tell you something."

"What?" Luo Ming asked.

"Sister Shan called you today and said that a singer who is a little famous on the Internet contacted her and said that she wanted to cover "Later"."

"Will Sister Shan care about such a small matter?"

"Of course! Her cover is considered a commercial activity. According to the rules of the industry, if a cover song is released on an online platform and reaches a certain level of popularity, a certain amount of copyright fees must be paid."

Luo Ming was a little surprised when he heard this, it seemed that there was no such rule in his previous life. In his previous life, as long as the cover songs were not shown on TV or variety shows, they did not seem to be considered commercial activities. Some rules in the entertainment circle in this life are much stricter than those in the previous life!

"Are people looking for Sister Shan very popular?"

"Well, her name is Yu Ziyi. She has more than 80 fans on the Internet. She is one of the most popular people in the cover singing industry."

"That is to say, as long as she sings a cover, the number of plays will definitely not be low, so they charge copyright fees, right?"

Lin Shuwen nodded.

"Since they have to pay copyright fees, she and the team behind her should be more cautious when choosing songs, right? Otherwise, if a song is not sung well, not to mention making a profit, they may even lose money."

“Pretty much. I heard that these popular singers will choose songs that can guarantee popularity, otherwise the revenue cannot be maximized.

After all, internet celebrities who cover songs are not omnipotent. Some of them can sing well, but they can’t sing every song well. It’s best to choose songs that are popular and suitable for you.”

Luo Ming nodded and said, "Then let her sing! We will give them the copyright for all the covers later on. This will also be good for your album promotion."

"I know, and I got Sister Shan to agree to it."

At the same time, a woman who looked to be about 26 or 7 years old was curled up on the sofa, wearing headphones and holding a mobile phone, watching "Later" on a loop.

She just wanted to cover the song "Later" sung by Yu Ziyi.

Lin Shuwen said that she has more than 80 fans on the entire Internet, but in fact, this information is a bit outdated.

Last month, her fans on the entire network successfully exceeded one million. Her base camp is Bilibili, but her fans are not only on Bilibili. She has many fans on Weibo and even on Neihan Duanzi.

One of the reasons why Yu Ziyi became popular is that her singing skills are very good. Her high notes are very strong and steady, with a little hoarseness, a bit like smoke noise, which is very unique among girls.

Another reason is that there is a certain degree of contrast between her voice and her appearance. She looks quite cute.

Although Yu Ziyi is already 26 years old, she has a baby face and is only 1 meters tall. If she doesn't speak, no one would have thought that she would have such a voice.

The reason why Yu Ziyi chose to cover "Later" was because she has always been a fan of Lin Shuwen. Last Wednesday, Lin Shuwen released the two songs "Courage" and "Later".

Yu Ziyi was astounded the first time she heard the song, especially "Later". She was completely mesmerized after just the first four lines.

"I want to sing this song! It doesn't matter if it's a little expensive!" Yu Ziyi almost immediately sent this idea to the team's Kuaishu group. After discussing it, the members of her team all agreed.

Yu Ziyi has two choices when choosing songs, the first is the one that is more popular, and the second is the one that is more suitable for her.

There is no doubt about the popularity of this song "Later". After its release, it has never been ranked third on the weekly chart and has always been competing with "Courage" for the first and second places.

The biggest problem is whether the song "Later" is suitable for Yu Ziyi to sing.

Yu Ziyi feels that she is very suitable for this song because she often covers some sad love songs, and "Later" is very consistent with her style.

People in her team also think that Yu Ziyi can handle this song, and with luck she can also ride on Lin Shuwen's popularity.

Since they decided to sing a cover, Yu Ziyi's team naturally contacted Lin Shuwen as soon as possible.

Normally, such a small matter would not alarm Sister Shan, but all the songs in the album "Courage" were written and composed by Luo Ming, and the copyright is also in his hands.

How could anyone else from Huayue Entertainment dare to disturb Luo Ming?

This made Sister Shan open the phone.

After Yu Ziyi obtained the authorization, she couldn't wait to start recording the cover song.

Two days later, when Lin Shuwen came to the second stop, Shenzhen, for a book signing event, Yu Ziyi released her cover of "Later".

Yu Ziyi's cover of "Later" quickly became popular on Bilibili, and received 50 views in just a few hours.

Yu Ziyi knew at first glance that her cover of this song was absolutely successful.

With Yu Ziyi being the first to try it out, other singers followed suit, starting a trend of covering songs from Lin Shuwen's new album.

For small bloggers with less than 10 followers, Luo Ming simply opened up the copyright of cover songs. Bloggers with more than 10 followers do not need to pay copyright fees as long as the number of views does not exceed 100 million.

After Luo Ming's success, more and more people started to cover his songs.

Lin Shuwen's album sales also soared.

Before we knew it, it was already mid-June.

Today is a new week again. This week Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen are not in the same situation.

Lin Shuwen, who had just finished book signings in several big cities, wanted to take a break and not go to the company today.

As a result, Sister Shan called her early in the morning and said, "Wenwen, come to the company soon!"

Lin Shuwen and Sister Shan have known each other for almost three years, and she has a certain understanding of Sister Shan's temperament and character. Sister Shan called her so early and asked her to come over, there was most likely something going on.

So Lin Shuwen didn't delay and went to Huayue Entertainment after washing up.

Lin Shuwen came to Sister Shan's office with ease and pushed the door open and walked in.

"Sister Shan, is there something wrong with the company?" Lin Shuwen asked.

"The company is fine, it's your business."

"My business? What do I have to do?"

“Your album has sold over a million copies!”

Lin Shuwen was stunned at first, then she couldn't help but exclaimed: "So fast! It's been less than half a month! How come it's over a million!"

"It's probably because too many people have covered your album's songs recently, which has boosted the album's sales."

"So this is the reason why Luo Ming released the copyright?"

Sister Shan nodded.

"Then I should be a bona fide queen of the music industry now!" Lin Shuwen said a little nervously.

Sister Shan smiled and nodded: "Yes! Two million-dollar albums, a Golden Melody Award for Best Female Singer, you are now a true queen of the music world!"

After hearing what Sister Shan said, Lin Shuwen felt her nose sore and her eyes turned red.

She finally became a real queen.

Although being a pop queen no longer has any practical meaning to Lin Shuwen, this is the goal she has been working hard for for two years.

Lin Shuwen was spotted by director Liu in July 2012 and starred in a TV series he directed. She shot to fame for playing the second female lead and had the popularity of a second-tier star right from her debut.

It was also because of this TV series that in October 12, Shan Jie was conquered by Lin Shuwen's beauty. She found Lin Shuwen and said to her, "Young girl, come to our company! I will make you the next movie queen."

Unfortunately, because the TV series she starred in failed one after another, she failed to become a movie queen and switched to become a singer.

This career change completely changed Lin Shuwen's destiny. She quickly rose in the music industry and won the Best Newcomer and Best Song awards at the 13th Golden Melody Awards.

These two prestigious awards made Lin Shuwen a rising star in the music industry, and she began to be called the little queen from that time on.

However, before Lin Shuwen could feel proud for long, she and Luo Ming had sex on October 10th.

Lin Shuwen always felt that Luo Ming was a true genius. He seemed to be omnipotent. He could write songs, scripts, program, and had a unique business vision.

All in all, Zhuoguang Technology has only been established for 1 year and 8 months.

In such a short period of time, Luo Ming built a makeshift team into a first-tier Internet company with a valuation of over 500 billion US dollars.

Thanks to Luo Ming, she went from being a small singer in the entertainment industry to the second largest shareholder of Zhuoguang Technology with 23% of its shares, the vice president of Zhuoguang Technology and the director of the human resources department, and also transformed herself into the president of Huayue Entertainment.

Compared with these identities, the queen is really nothing.

But what is different from her previous identities is that being a queen of pop is the life goal that Lin Shuwen has always been pursuing and her dream.

Today the dream finally came true.

This should be a happy thing, but for some reason, Lin Shuwen felt that she could not hold it back any longer and tears were about to burst out.

Seeing this, Sister Shan stood up and walked to Lin Shuwen and hugged her: "Cry if you want! You have really paid a lot for this goal in the past two years. Thank you for your hard work!"

"I-I won't cry! Sister Shan, don't underestimate me!" Lin Shuwen's tears still fell as she said this.

At this moment, the hardest part of Lin Shuwen was her mouth.

Half an hour later, Lin Shuwen, whose emotions had stabilized, took out her phone and opened Weibo. The editor sent a message: "The new album sales have exceeded one million. Thank you for your support."

Soon after this Weibo post was published, the number of comments exceeded 10,000.

Because everyone knows what this Weibo post means.

Lin Shuwen already had an album that sold millions of copies and also won the Golden Melody Award for Best Female Singer. With this album that sold millions of copies, Lin Shuwen has been crowned the queen. She is the new queen of the music industry!
A few minutes later, a term suddenly topped the Weibo hot search list - #天后林淑雯#.
