The prince of heaven only wants salted fish

The accompaniment sounded along with the singing. Jicheng took off his cover-up hat and threw it directly into the crowd!

"Tonight we will be together..."

He took a brisk step, and the spotlight followed his movement forward and extended towards the stage.

The audience under the stage was a little stunned when Jicheng appeared at first, but then they reacted and burst into huge cheers.

Most of them have actually never heard of the somewhat difficult-to-pronounce Xia Kingdom name "Ji Shu" before, and a few of them still remember "long years", which was on the volume rankings for a long time. Therefore, I have a little impression of this name - but only a little impression.

So before the performance officially started, the audience was somewhat confused: Who is this "Ji Shu"? Do you have any works?

There are even some people with strong opinions who left messages online: [This name is clearly not from Mori! A yellow-skinned boy, don't expect anything from him. 】

[Yes, our Aaron sings better! When will Aaron take the stage? I can hardly wait! ! 】

[I have an impression of this name. His song "Long Years" was on the volume rankings! But I think it’s just average, and I don’t know how to get up there】

[How can you say that, guy in front of you? "Long Years" is one of my favorite songs this year. I don't allow you to say that Ji! 】

[This appearance is actually quite interesting, I’m looking forward to it]

In the short time since Jicheng appeared on the stage, countless barrages and comments like the above had already flashed on the external live broadcast website. However, as the song progressed, the content of these arguments gradually subsided——

【wow】

[His pronunciation is very good, you can’t tell he is a non-native speaker]

[I was the one who just said I like Long Years the most, and I announced that Fulcrum is now my new favorite song this year! ! 】

[Brother in front of you, what’s going on with you, hahaha]

[This song makes me want to dance so much that I couldn’t help but tap my feet on the floor while watching it! 】

The scene has long since become a sea of ​​joy. After all, people here are facing the stage directly. The audio-visual effect and atmosphere are completely inferior to those watched through the Internet and TV stations. In order to achieve the most perfect stage effect, Jicheng also Deliberately using mental power to arouse people's emotions.

The atmosphere here in Mori Country is more open, and since this is a performance venue for artists, many people have already started dancing and singing along.

After the song ended, the audience was still immersed in the joyful atmosphere, so much so that they deliberately waited for a while before the next performer came up - in fact, he was also a little excited, and the performance would end later. Can I go find Ji’s autograph in the future?

This year's Mori Kingdom artist performance, Jicheng's song "Fulcrum" moved the audience and directly became "the most amazing performance" in the netizens' vote that night. The live video even exceeded the number of views on the Internet. With a time record of 100 million, with such a popularity foundation, the single "Fulcrum" was officially released around the world with almost no publicity, and it directly landed in the top three of the volume rankings.

At this point, the name "Ji Shu" has been completely popular, spreading from the Xia Kingdom to the world.

Of course, Jicheng's pace in China has not stopped. Not long after "Fulcrum" was launched globally, his new album "Sleep" was also launched in Xia Guo, and then directly broke the first-day sales record of domestic albums in the past three years. Now that the traditional record industry is gradually disappearing, it is not an exaggeration to say it is a miracle.

And Liang Shuyu, who released a single around the same time as him, was far less happy than Jicheng.

Although he has a lot of qualifications, Liang Shuyu is indeed not a powerful person. His current popularity is high because of the overwhelming exposure. After all, pigs can fly when standing in the spotlight, let alone Liang Shuyu?

However, although the traffic flow is sufficient, there are also very obvious disadvantages.

First, there is not enough strength to support it, and the quality of the popularity it attracts is really average: although Liang Shuyu is popular now, it is actually half black and half red. Although it is topical enough, the fans are not sticky enough and their loyalty is not too high. , usually fine, but if there are strong winds and waves, whether you can survive it becomes a question.

For example, now, he and Jicheng release new songs at about the same time. Originally, Liang Shuyu relied on a lot of exposure and promotion, so the single data would not be too ugly no matter what. It may be difficult to become a hit, but it is basically no problem to climb the domestic singles chart.

As a result, he ran into the day when Jicheng released "Fulcrum".

The single "Fulcrum" stunned the audience when the Mori State artist performed for the first time. Not to mention the subsequent data, it is no exaggeration to describe it as a global hit. And Liang Shuyu’s strength lies there. Even though he hired top producers to produce his album and put a lot of effort into promoting it, he still didn’t resist the unstoppable trend of "Fulcrum". force.

Not to mention that "Fulcrum" was followed by an album "Sleep" that Jicheng spent a lot of effort preparing.

So in short, when the two collided, Liang Shuyu was defeated.

And from the problem of insufficient fan stickiness, Liang Shuyu's way of attracting traffic has a second obvious disadvantage - that is, insufficient cost-effectiveness.

In this era, entertainment is the ultimate and traffic is the mainstream. It is true that capital can selectively invest resources in a certain artist to grab traffic and achieve the purpose of making profits, but when doing this, it is more or less necessary to pay attention to cost-effectiveness, right?

After all, resources are just those resources. Artists who are strong enough can earn more than those mediocre ones, not to mention the public reputation.

Liang Shuyu's strength is here. Although he is not bad, there are obviously a lot of better choices than him. Not to mention anything else, if Lou Ming is replaced, he will be much better than him - if Lou Ming does not do something stupid himself.

So strictly speaking, it is definitely not a good deal to pile all these resources on Liang Shuyu alone: ​​his fans are not sticky enough, which means that his persistence and risk resistance are not very good. Even if he does not do anything else, as long as these resources are slowly withdrawn, he may return to the state of no one paying attention to him before. Moreover, with Liang Shuyu's character, if the resources fade a little bit, there will be countless people who have been offended by him.

But despite these disadvantages, his company is still willing to promote him, and the reason is also very obvious: the person behind Liang Shuyu.

Ji Cheng was not interested in these things, but he had already confronted people. Even if he did not want to investigate, Dong Ye, as his agent, had already been ready to go.

In addition, Ji Mi called to remind him earlier, and the situation behind Liang Shuyu was quickly investigated.

The man's name is Shi Wei, a senior executive of Shi Group. He is barely the third in command. He doesn't manage much and looks out of tune. Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept a male artist. But he is actually a smiling tiger.

Shi Group is also a large group in Xia Country. Its main business is in the entertainment and film industry. Before Ji's family was ready to enter the entertainment industry, it was not an exaggeration to say that Shi's family was the only one in the entertainment industry. And even now, under Ji Mi's determination, Ji's family has gradually eroded Shi's family. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. With its foundation of many years of entrenchment, Shi's family is still a small presence in the entertainment industry.

So Shi Wei's status is also very clear. It is precisely because Shi Wei is behind Liang Shuyu that Liang Shuyu dares to do whatever he wants, and his agency is willing to do this kind of half-loss business. And those opponents who were offended by Liang Shuyu did not dare to act rashly for a while, and could only wait and see when Shi Wei got tired of playing and then took action.

However, Liang Shuyu may be gifted in this regard. At present, it seems that Shi Wei is quite indulgent towards him.

Ji Cheng and Liang Shuyu have a bad relationship now. If it were an ordinary person, they might be annoyed by this. However, there are people behind Ji Cheng - people like Ji Mi are always on high alert, and they think "despicable villain, are you trying to murder my brother?" when they see anyone.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Ji Shu was diagnosed with depression before, and it was finally found out by Ji Mi (his secretary).

Ji Shu was previously attacked by those online abuses and suffered from depression. He dared not go out, had no interest in eating, and was unwilling to sleep. He did not even tell his family. He did not care about the mobile phone that modern people rely on for survival. He let it run out of power and threw it in any corner. He drew all the curtains and lived like a caveman at home. It was not until Ji Cheng came to the small world of 0712 that he slept thoroughly - based on this, His Royal Highness even thought that if he was two days later, this unfortunate child might die directly from lack of sleep.

Later, for some reasons that he was too lazy to explain, Ji Cheng did not inform the Ji family of this, and chose to muddle through it.

It was not until the last time that Ji Mi went to Ji Cheng's apartment to find him that he caught a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the diagnosis sheet that was thrown around by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince among the scattered documents in the living room.

To be honest, Ji Mi did not see what the diagnosis sheet was at the time, he just saw those few words, and he could not even tell which hospital it was, so when he asked his secretary to check it later, he went through a lot of twists and turns, and finally found out what was going on.

If Ji Mi felt some pain and regret when he realized what kind of abuse and slander Ji Shu had faced before, then when he knew that his brother even suffered from depression and was unwilling to go home for help, Ji Mi's self-blame in his heart was almost magnified to the extreme.

What on earth did he do before!

After finding the doctor who treated Ji Shu and asking everything as a family member, Ji Mi immediately told Ji Xuan and his wife everything. Then the first major family meeting of the Ji family was held, and Ji Cheng was called back and forced to tell everything.

The scene at that time can be said to be very sensational. Except for Ji Cheng, the "party involved", everyone was about to cry. Especially Ji Mi, who almost tattooed the words "I made my brother sick" on his face.

However, Ji Xuan and his wife who were also at the meeting did not get angry with Ji Mi. On the contrary, they also reviewed their own negligence: After all, Ji Shu was being manipulated by Lou Ming's online trolls. Ji Mi heard about this matter but didn't care. Didn't Ji Xuan and them not intervene much because they were still angry with their younger son? To be honest, Ji Mi and Ji Shu have no blood relationship. They are the parents.

In short, after this family meeting, Ji Cheng almost became the top protected animal of the Ji family. Regular psychological and physical examinations are indispensable. Whenever he travels, he must report his itinerary to his parents/brother. If he does not report, his agent will take the initiative to report it. In addition, there are daily phone calls to greet him, for fear that the child will suffer any grievances outside and will not come home to tell him.

Ji Cheng actually felt a little annoyed, but considering that this kind of regular greetings and regular consultations can help alleviate the gloomy feeling that surges up from time to time in this body, he finally acquiesced.

Ahem, talking about these things is a bit off topic, but in short, Ji Mi is now almost a frightened bird, afraid that any slight movement will hurt his brother's "young heart". Occasionally, when he sees some black fans spitting nonsense on the Internet, he almost wants to open ten small accounts to scold them and send a lawyer's letter of warning.

So in this case, Ji Cheng thinks that it is very reasonable to leave Liang Shuyu and Shi Wei behind him to Ji Mi to watch over - it just happens to wear down Ji Mi's recent excessive desire to protect.

After all, he is not Ji Shu himself. If that unlucky child is scolded, he will feel sad and blame himself. His Royal Highness will only punish him with interest: there is no reason, because he is perfect.

So the promotion of the charts and the notices are handed over to Dong Ye, and the handling of external enemies is handed over to the Ji family. Ji Cheng can lie down again and prepare to retire... No wonder.

If he hadn't gone to the artist performance, he could have relied on the new album to rest for a while, but since he was ready to move forward, Ji Cheng would not stop halfway... After all, it would take more energy to take a half-step and then take another step than to take a full step at once.

And he also has an agent who has tasted the sweetness of cheating and deceiving. Even if Ji Cheng said he wanted to quit the circle at this time, Dong Ye would definitely cry, make a fuss, and beg him to continue working.

After the artist performance, "fulcrum" and "sleep" were released and achieved outstanding results, Ji Cheng did not rest.

With his nod of approval, Dong Ye accepted a small number of commercial performances and several variety show guest notices for him, as well as an invitation to a foreign talk show. Ji Cheng's fluent spoken language and extremely fast response on the talk show also shocked the host and the audience, allowing him to brush his face again in the international arena.

In terms of endorsements, since Ji Cheng himself is not short of money, Dong Ye only helped him carefully select an endorsement for a well-known international high-end brand.

In addition, there is also the production of a new English album.

Since a door to the international market has been opened, Ji Cheng will certainly not watch it close again.

Although he noticed that his foreign fans increased after "Fulcrum" climbed to the top of the volume chart, and many of them came specifically to listen to his other songs, there was still a cultural gap between them because it was not English. So after the release of "Sleep", he quickly started to work on the production of a new English album.

Because of Ji Shu's previous foundation in the music college, it was not too difficult for Ji Cheng to prepare new English songs. In addition to Bai He, who had previously cooperated with him, joining in the arrangement of this new album, Ji Cheng also contacted two internationally famous musicians through Vincent's relationship to work together, which can be said to be quite well prepared.

In the blink of an eye, time went from summer to winter, and then from winter to summer. This all-English album that has been prepared for nearly a year has finally been released.

During the album preparation period, Ji Cheng also attended a popular music awards ceremony in Xia Country, and accepted the invitation of Aaron, a Sen Country artist whom he met at an artist performance. Yes, it was the singer that the big brother who was not optimistic about Ji Cheng in the comments on the foreign website liked, and the singer who performed after Ji Cheng. Unfortunately, the big brother probably didn't expect that his idol would go to Ji Cheng to sign, take photos, and add friends as soon as he got off the stage.

Aaron admired and liked Ji Cheng's songs very much, so he specially invited Ji Cheng to cooperate with him on a single.

Unlike Ji Cheng, who is still a fledgling newcomer, Aaron is much older. He was a child star and was already popular internationally when Ji Shu just debuted. Although he is not at his peak now, his popularity has long been stable. Therefore, although Aaron admires Ji Cheng very much, it is actually Ji Cheng who takes advantage of his fame.

Of course, because the high quality of the single itself is there, both parties are mutually beneficial.

Under the background of such popularity, Ji Cheng's album named "doze" has achieved remarkable results as soon as it was released.

Because it is a global release, his popularity in other countries is not as high as in China, so the domestic sales expectations for the album were not particularly optimistic at the beginning. Among them, the most pessimistic are those fans of Lou Ming and those of Shi's group.

It is normal for Shi's group to be pessimistic. After all, not only has the conflict between Ji Cheng and Liang Shuyu not eased in the past year, but Ji's group, with Jialan Entertainment as the spearhead, has also begun to cut the cake under Shi's command. Under all kinds of conflicts, it would be more suspicious if they were optimistic.

However, Lou Ming’s fans are still so persistent...it really only shows that they are strong-willed.
