The straight man in the entertainment circle

East View, Hisashiran Studio.

A simple and stylish office building is brightly lit, and several young people are immersed in work.

Jingle Bell……

The office phone rang.

"Hello, Hisashiran Studio."

"Hello, we are reporters from Kyoto News. We would like to interview Mr. Hisaishi Ran. Is it convenient?"

"Oh, the teacher has gone back and is not in the studio now. We have not been interviewed recently. I wonder what you want to interview?"

"It's about the current online dispute between Ishii Shogo and many Japanese creators and Chinese stars. We would like to ask Mr. Hisaishi Ran what he thinks?"

"Uh... We don't know much about what you're talking about yet. The teacher is not interested in these disputes in the entertainment industry. I'm very sorry."

"You can understand it, or I can describe it to you..."

"No thanks!"

The young man hung up the phone and complained to several other young people: "I come to ask the teacher's opinion on any trivial matter. Being a teacher is so free!"

A young man also shook his head and said: "Recently, the teacher is scoring a Hollywood blockbuster. It is a critical moment. Things are messy in the entertainment industry, so don't disturb the teacher."

Several other people nodded.

At this time the phone rang again.

The young man who answered the phone just now frowned. Although Hisashiran has a long-standing reputation in the island country, only some important media know the number of this studio. They will not call unless there is anything particularly important.

They all know their own sense of proportion. When Hisashiran is not active, they rarely call so frequently.

"Hello, Hisashiran Studio."

"Hello, I am a reporter from the Kansai Chinese Newspaper. Is Mr. Hisaishi Ran here?"

"The teacher is not here. If you have any questions, I can convey them to you."

"Oh, will Mr. Hisaishi Ran be here tomorrow?"

"Yes, but you need to explain your purpose so that we can decide whether the teacher should answer your call."

"Oh... we just want to ask Mr. Hisaishi Ran what he thinks of Hua Xia Lin Li's songs?"

The young man who answered the phone heard the name Lin Li for the second time today. He frowned and said, "The teacher has no interest in singers in the entertainment industry. If his music is good enough, our teacher will know about it sooner or later."

"I'm sorry, we know that Mr. Hisaishi Ran is not interested in the entertainment industry. Although this matter has not made a big fuss yet, please believe us, after tonight, this matter will definitely make the whole city a storm. We also want to be the first Time knows Mr. Hisaishi Ran’s attitude, so that’s why I bother you so late.”

The other party's tone was very humble, and the young man who answered the phone also softened his tone a little and said, "We need to understand this matter. After understanding the situation, we will decide whether to tell the teacher according to the situation. After all, the teacher has to bother the teacher with every little thing. The teacher will be angry too."

"Yes, yes, then you should find out first, and we will ask again tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, the young man said to the people in charge: "Do any of you know there is a man named Lin Li in China?"

"I don't know. Chinese music has never been our focus."

"Yes, the Chinese nation has no musical instincts in its bones, so who cares about them?"

"Not to mention China, even the music of the island country, we will only pay attention to a few top ones, but we will not pay attention to other people's stuff. There are so many outstanding musicians in the world, how can we waste time on them. "

Only one person among the few people said: "I seem to have heard of this person. He seems to be a very powerful singer in China?"

"Hey, the very powerful singers from our island country are just like that in our opinion, let alone the Chinese singers. No matter how great they are, how great can they be?"

"Whether he is great or not, I just want to know, is this man in our island country now? Why do reporters come to ask our teacher what he thinks of his songs?"

"Don't worry about them. They probably want us teachers to comment on them and then go back and brag about them."

"Yeah, just ignore it."

The person who had heard Lin Li's name hesitated for a while and said, "How about... let's find out what it is first."

The other people all looked uninterested and went back to doing their own things with their heads down.

Only the person who proposed to find out about it started to open the website on his computer and started to find out about it.

Just as a few people were about to get to work, the call came again.

They still asked Hisashi Ran about the music quality of Lin Li and Ishii Shogo. Knowing that Hisashi Ran was not around, they hung up the phone.

At this time, everyone in the studio couldn't help but be curious about what happened that caused the media who usually didn't dare to disturb me to call one after another. In the eyes of the media, this problem seemed to be very serious!

At this time, the young man who had been understanding the situation clicked on the computer to watch the video of Lin Li singing "She Lived" in the theater last night.

Along with the music, several people were attracted.

Several people gathered around the computer and started looking.

Lin Li's voice and singing style, as well as the charm he exuded on the stage, made these people stunned for a while. Even when the phone rang again, they ignored it and watched the video until the end.

"Is this Lin Li?"

"Yeah, it seems like he's here to promote his movie."

"Why is he singing in Japanese?"

"He seems to be a celebrity who knows Japanese very well, but his Japanese is really good."

"Although the song is not particularly good, Lin Li's stage appeal is so powerful that few in the island country can match him."

"It's really rare to be able to sing this song like this with just a guitar and all with your voice."

"I'm really impressed."

"Is the picture on the screen behind him the content of his movie?"

"should be."

"It looks good. It has a story to tell. I want to take a look."

"Okay, since we haven't gone to the movies for a long time, why not go see it together tomorrow?"

"Okay, it's settled!"

After several people discussed it, they suddenly realized a problem.

"In my opinion, this song is pretty good, but it's not enough to alarm the teacher..."

The person who was the first to know about this said: "I just took a look and it seems that Qiu Bishan forced Lin Li to compose the theme song for a day, and then Lin Li went on stage to sing it."

"Nani, how long will it take? No way!"

"It's unlikely. Although the melody of this song is simple, the singing method is still very particular. It's impossible to create it on the spot."

"If it were really created on-site, it would be really awesome."

"Don't be fooled by other people's marketing tactics."

Several other people were also a little skeptical and nodded.

"Hey, everyone, look at this news!"

One person said, pointing to a piece of news that had just been released on the computer.

When everyone looked around, they saw only the title: "Many popular stars in China claim that most of Ishii Shogo's songs cannot be called songs"

"This Lin Li has such a loud tone!"

"Did he really say that?"

"Although Ishii Shogo's songs are just like that, there are still one or two good songs."

"Haha, don't tell me, I quite like this guy, he's very brave!"

"Look here again! A lot of news about Lin Li came out all of a sudden."

Everyone looked around and saw that, as expected, a lot of news about Lin Li had suddenly appeared on the Internet.

"Many popular stars from China came to the island to fight with a group of reporters, and they were able to cope with it easily. 》

"Chinese stars often say they are disappointed with Taiwanese musicians. 》

"What is the origin of Lin Li who looks down on island musicians?" 》

"In ten minutes, I will take you to understand the most popular singers in China. 》

"Chinese singer Lin Li said he only believed in Hisashi Ran. 》

…………

Everyone was amazed when they saw a lot of news suddenly appeared on the Internet.

"Is there someone behind this Lin Li? Why does it feel like a person who has never heard of him before suddenly has so many topics?"

"Don't mention it, this person's image, voice and stage appeal are indeed worth recommending."

"It seems that there are no companies from our island country that have signed contracts. There shouldn't be any pushback for those who haven't signed contracts."

"Hey, here is the complete video of Lin Li's confrontation with reporters tonight. Let's take a look."

Tonight, in a theater in Dongjing, Lin Li competed with many reporters in the audience, and a live video of the verbal battle with reporters was also circulated. In the video, Lin Li was calm and confident, not timid at all in the face of the encirclement and suppression of many reporters, and gave reasonable and well-founded answers. Seamless and amazing!

Lin Li is a young man who is not yet twenty years old. He has such courage. It is really admirable!

A few people watched the complete video for more than half an hour without even realizing it.

After reading it, they had some understanding of the conflicts between Lin Li, Qiu Bishanzhong and Ishii Changgo.

"Souga, so that's what happened."

"It seems like Lin Li is quite interesting, but a little rude."

"You have talent and personality, so the teacher should like you."

"Speaking of teachers, do we need to alarm the teachers about this matter?"

"It's almost midnight, don't disturb the teacher."

"Yes, there is a lot of commotion online now about the quality of Lin Li and Ishii Shogo's songs. If we don't talk about it, the teacher will probably know about it tomorrow, and the all-pervasive media will be staring at the teacher."

"Yeah, that's right."

Just as I was talking, another call came...

…………

The falling out between Lin Li and Qiu Bishan yesterday has been spread all over the Internet.

A well-known creative talent in the island country was actually disliked by Chinese singers, abandoned his songs, and used the songs he composed on the spot as the theme song of the movie. This kind of thing will naturally make many netizens in the island country angry.

However, some people calmed down their anger after listening to Lin Li's "She Lived" and felt that Lin Li did the right thing and that his own song was better and more suitable for his movie.

At this time, videos and press releases of Lin Li angrily criticizing Ishii Shogo on Facebook tonight, as well as his verbal battle with reporters in the theater, were flying all over the sky.

This time, Lin Li's opponent changed from Qiubishan to the higher-level Ishii Shogo and his supporters.

In fact, it is common for celebrities in the entertainment industry to quarrel with each other. Generally, if the celebrity is not a big one, not many people will pay attention to it, but Lin Li's case is different because Lin Li is from China.

Many island nation netizens unconsciously took this incident as Lin Li's challenge to the island nation's music scene on behalf of Chinese musicians, so the attention was naturally high.

And most people are still on the side of Ishii Changgo, after all, they belong to the same country.

But there are also some rational netizens who feel that everyone subconsciously regards Lin Li as an enemy because of their preconceptions, so their comments are biased. In fact, what Lin Li said is correct, and his songs are also very good, so these people stand by Lin Li. On this side, Lin Li was aggrieved, and the two sides quarreled endlessly.

As a video of Lin Li chatting, laughing and answering questions was circulated on the Internet that night under the siege of reporters. In the video, Lin Li faced the difficulties and never flinched, which also made people tired of watching the "polite" celebrities of the island country. A group of people particularly loved it, and Lin Li's grace on the stage also attracted some fans from the island country.

Early the next morning, Lin Li discovered that he had 100,000 fans on Facebook!

The number of netizens in the island country is only one-fifth or sixth of that in China. If you count these 100,000 fans in China, there are 500,000 or 600,000 fans!

As a foreign star, the number of fans in just two days can already be said to be terrifying.

Lin Li also paid attention to the box office performance of the movie "Young You" on the first day it was released in the island country.

The box office on the first day was 8.2 million yen, which is about 600,000 yuan in RMB.

Looking at the box office, it’s not even a fraction of what it was in China. However, the overall box office in the island country is only about a quarter of that in China. So in total, this is equivalent to a box office of about 2.5 million for the island country film in China.

Although it's not amazing, it's not bad. After all, "Young You" only had 3% of the films scheduled on the first day.

After checking the box office on the first day, Lin Li took a look at today's schedule of "Young You".

In the past two days, Lin Li and island country musicians have started a battle. Many island country netizens have said that they will boycott Lin Li's movies. However, the fact is that with the video of Lin Li singing "She Lived" and the video of answering reporters' questions, the video was posted on the island country online. spread, and many people became interested in "Young You".

In one day, "Young You" went from being unknown to being noticed, and its popularity suddenly increased a lot.

The amount of films scheduled will naturally increase as the tide goes up.

On the first day, only 3% of the films were scheduled. Today, there are already 8% of the films scheduled. This kind of growth against the trend is rare. For Lin Li, this is good news.

Lin Li was happy and looked at his reputation. He didn't know how much reputation the island country's turmoil in the past two days could increase for him. He checked the system and found that Lin Li actually had more than 1.5 billion reputation!

With such prestige, Lin Li was naturally not stingy. He drew the largest prize ever, a thousand times!

The harvest this time is very rich, with attributes, skills and works. I don’t know if it’s because I’m in an island country. Among the rewards drawn this time, there are many songs from the island country, and two of them are actually songs I sang before. , Lin Li didn’t even expect that the songs he sang had Japanese versions.

Lin Li felt it and was very satisfied.
