Capítulo 134: Começando a entender

— Professor Song, a Linchuan Group annual meeting, they would like to invite you to grace them with your presence.
— How much are they paying?
— ...
Yan Yu: Five million!
Song Dao: Our father is a bit stingy.
Yan Yu: Our father is being reasonable. Who do you think everyone is? A nouveau riche tycoon like Audiovisual Genwoxiu who can flaunt wealth like that?
Song Dao thought to himself, forget it. As one of the top technology giants in the Xia Kingdom, the Linchuan Group might only be surpassed by companies like Audiovisual Genwoxiu in terms of cash flow.
When it comes to heritage and social value, the difference is like heaven and earth!
However, to be honest, five million is already a very high price.
The reason Audiovisual Genwoxiu can offer such a quote is that they also have a massive number of sponsors.
Who to invite and how much to pay is often decided by the sponsors themselves.
But for a major enterprise like the Linchuan Group, hosting an annual meeting is purely an expenditure.
They don't even make it public.
The nature and significance of the two are completely different.
Generally speaking, even for A-list celebrities, it is rare to see fees exceeding three million.
The fact that Yan Yu could secure five million for him definitely involves a significant "friendship price."
So, Song Dao was just joking.
Yan Yu: Will you do it or not, Professor Song? Sister Fei doesn't have time, and she said you should be free. Five million for three songs; I think that's decent. What do you think?
Song Dao: No problem. When is it?
Yan Yu: Early January. The specific date hasn't been set yet; the company doesn't want to occupy the New Year's holiday, so it should be around the second or third of January.
Song Dao thought for a moment and felt that he didn't really have anything major during that period.
Sun Meiqi's concert is in the middle of this month, and the two commercial performances for Audiovisual Genwoxiu are at the end of the month.
As for the rehearsals for the Xia TV Spring Festival Gala, the schedule is basically concentrated at the end of January.
Song Dao: No problem.
Yan Yu: Alright, then Agent Xiao Yan will go give them the reply.
Song Dao: Go ahead.
Yan Yu sent an angry emoji.
Then, there was silence.
...
In the blink of an eye, another week passed.
The date arrived at December 11th.
Sun Meiqi sent him a message.
— Professor Song, please don't forget the concert on the 15th.
Song Dao: Don't worry, Teacher 7, I remember.
Sun Meiqi: I would like to sing "If the Moon Didn't Come" and "Chapter" with you on stage. How about you add "Stubbornly Loyal"? This song is definitely suitable for a stage performance.
One could only say that Teacher 7 knows which songs are suitable for the stage. If "Stubbornly Loyal" is performed at a concert, it will definitely make many people sing along.
Don't look at how it only briefly topped the charts on Penguin Music for four or five days; its download volume was staggering!
Penguin Music making an exception for Song Dao regarding awards can be said to have paid off big time!
In the past six months, the number of people who downloaded Penguin Music and signed up for memberships just because of Song Dao is countless.
Song Dao did not refuse.
Because at this moment, his prestige value finally exceeded one hundred million!
Popularity is like this: the growth rate is astonishing at its peak, but once that period passes, the decline is equally cliff-like.
When he attends Sun Meiqi's concert in two days, another wave of popularity will likely hit.
Perhaps before the end of the year, he can get his hands on that "Golden Throat."
After confirming with Sun Meiqi, Song Dao opened the system.
Looking at the eight-digit number (now nine) beside the prestige value, he took a deep breath. Once the system upgrades to level three, his memory will also be significantly enhanced.
According to the system's previous claims, by then, he should be able to recall every song he has ever heard.
This means the income generated from these songs will belong entirely to him.
And by then, what he can recall shouldn't just be songs.
Books he has read, movies he has watched, he should be able to remember them all.
He could even cross boundaries and restore some classic literary works and film and television dramas.
He opened the system mall, stared at the "Hall-of-Fame Level Vocal Technique," took a deep breath, and chose to redeem it.
One hundred million prestige points vanished in an instant.
The next moment, a light emerged.
That book flew out from the system mall, flickering with brilliant, gorgeous light, and hovered in front of him.
"Use Hall-of-Fame Level Vocal Technique," Song Dao thought to himself.
In an instant, he felt his body undergoing changes; his heart, lungs, and throat all had a reaction.
Even in his mind, a vast amount of things he had never mastered before appeared.
For instance, more advanced breathing methods and singing techniques.
His head even felt a bit dizzy.
Top-tier abilities and knowledge like this require a certain amount of time to be fully absorbed.
Song Dao lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
...
Recently, the people hogging the hot searches, Lin Fei and Song Dao, finally quieted down a bit.
Other celebrities who needed promotion finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Cui Luo, who hadn't dared to show his face on live streams for a long time, finally started broadcasting again.
Eight o'clock in the evening.
After Cui Luo, who had lost a significant number of fans recently, started the stream, two or three thousand people quickly gathered.
Various mocking voices were as expected as ever.
— Oh, look, now that Sister Fei and Brother Dog have finally stepped off the hot search, you dare to show your head?
— Cui Luo, Teacher Ma was willing to admit defeat and even barked like a dog for everyone, and in different varieties at that. What about you?
— Donate, apologize, Cui Luo, this is what you said yourself!
— Who was the one saying Song Dao was leeching off your traffic? Was it you, Cui Luo? What now? Who is leeching off whom now?
— Hahaha, Cui Luo woke up to a changed world. A while ago, he was so scared he didn't even dare to open a live stream.
Cui Luo watched these comments with a smile.
But in his heart, he was swearing up a storm.
These brats are so damn annoying; it's simply endless!
However, one thing they said was right.
— Song Dao's traffic is truly easy to leech off!
— The reason I didn't come out for a while was because I had some health issues and was just resting. The way you all talk, it's as if I were afraid of someone!
Cui Luo was clearly well-prepared and took out a remittance slip.
On it, clearly written in both upper and lower case, was the amount of 30,000 yuan.
The recipient was Sister Hong's charitable organization.
— How about that? Isn't this admitting defeat? I said, when I, your brother, do things, I definitely keep my word!
— If I lose, I will definitely own up to it!
— As for apologizing to Song Dao, since he doesn't live stream, I'll just apologize to him right here.
Cui Luo said this, stood up, and bowed to the camera.
— Professor Song, I'm sorry. I underestimated you. Although the songs you create are as tacky as ever, you indeed won! I apologize to you here!
Afterward, he sat back in his chair and said to the camera: "How's that? Are you satisfied? It doesn't matter if you aren't. In the future, if Song Dao starts a stream, I can connect with him. As long as he dares to pick up, I will apologize to him online!"
— Offline? You can't even meet him offline!
— Why am I not worthy? The Penguin Music Peak Ceremony invited me too, but as I said, I wasn't feeling well at the time, so I didn't go.
— What do I think of the current Song Dao?
Cui Luo said expressionlessly: "Still the same view as before. The songs he writes are just tacky! There really aren't many worth listening to, especially this recent one, what is it called... 'Stubbornly Loyal.' To be honest, I am very disappointed in him!"
— You don't need to scold me here. I'm the type of person who sees right as right and wrong as wrong; I just stick to my guns.
As he mentioned Song Dao, the number of people in the live stream room surged rapidly.
In a short while, several tens of thousands had already entered.
Facing many netizens asking about the storm from a while ago, Cui Luo turned a blind eye.
The consequences of that incident were far more severe than what was publicly known on the internet.
Era Media suffered the worst!
An entire line of people was taken in.
Many knowledgeable people could feel the terrifying power behind it.
Under normal circumstances, it would have been impossible for Lu Wen to be taken in!
This kind of matter, let alone Cui Luo, even Mei Qiuhong, who also hadn't been on to sell things for a long time, didn't dare to mention it.
Seeing the number of people in the live stream room increasing, Cui Luo was very happy.
It still has to be Song Dao.
He is simply his cash cow!
As long as he doesn't touch those sensitive points and just shallowly mocks Song Dao's creative ability, he can gain a massive amount of traffic. How delightful.
As if they had agreed on it.
On the other side.
Mei Qiuhong, who also hadn't been out for a long time, started a live stream today as well!
And this "second-generation" of the music circle finally stopped selling shoes this time.
He changed to selling New Year goods.
Happy background music was playing in the live stream room.
The "second-generation" looked energetic and even found a few beautiful women to stand behind him.
— I heard you all love looking at beauties; I like watching them too.
— What was that trendy phrase you young people use? Pampering fans, right? Your Brother Mei is a person who pampers his fans!
— Not only do I pamper you fans, but I also brought you better vermicelli!
— Take a look, authentic Northeast vermicelli, made from sweet potato starch.
— Family, when I do business, I always follow my conscience. Why did I start selling this? Making money is secondary.
— The main point is to help the farmers!
— It's not easy for common people. They aren't like those celebrities who make hundreds of thousands or millions, or even more, in one commercial performance. They can only make a few tens of thousands of yuan at most in a whole year.
— So, your Brother Mei is a kind-hearted person. I can't bear to see these suffering and poor people. If I can help them, I will definitely not stand by and watch!
This time, Mei Qiuhong seemed to have learned his lesson. Facing the various mocking voices in the comment section and the barrage, he turned a blind eye to all of them.
He focused entirely on selling goods.
Because of this, those mocking voices gradually disappeared.
However, what followed was a massive drop in his live stream popularity!
From the original tens of thousands, or even over a hundred thousand, it dropped to two or three thousand.
Perhaps because he was selling food, the sales were actually not bad.
...
Song Dao woke up the next morning.
When he went to the park to practice his voice, he could clearly feel the huge improvement in his own singing skills.
His singing level had improved by several grades compared to the past!
This feeling was absolutely wonderful.
Along with it, his entire mood was super good.
After breakfast, he opened his phone and scanned the Penguin Music charts.
He discovered that there were quite a few people releasing new songs at the end of the year.
Zhang Huan, an A-list superstar from Era Media, released a new song.
The title is "The New Me," a slow song in a lyrical style. It should be a chart-topper.
At the same time, many people with good relationships with him, including Jiang Ying and Shi Yuyan, shared it to show their support.
It quickly formed a high level of popularity.
It ranked first on the new song chart, hot song chart, and popularity index chart.
Song Dao opened it and listened. The quality was okay.
But it was only at the level of those bronze treasure chest songs in Hu Wei's digital album.
It couldn't compare to the "Feiyang-affiliated" songs currently on the charts.
This person, how should I put it?
Back when Hu Wei just debuted, he even praised him.
He felt like a decent person.
However, in the subsequent encirclement and suppression of Feiyang Music, especially when Jiang Ying blew the horn of battle and everyone attacked Song Dao, he also posted to take a side.
Therefore, Song Dao immediately contacted people at the company and had them release Kong Xi's other song, "Started to Understand."
After all, since he had supported Hu Wei, there's no need for Hu Wei to beat him this time.
No warm-up.
This song didn't need a warm-up!
After making the call, he watched as this song quietly appeared on Kong Xi's song list.
Song Dao posted a message on his own Shuibo—
— Little sister Kong Xi's new song "Started to Understand" has been officially released on the Penguin Music platform. Another classic song created by "Water Hits Three Thousand." I hope everyone will support it.
After he posted it, many people quickly reposted it.
Including the "Backflip Cat Girl" herself.
Kong Xi: Ah, I released a song? Thanks to Brother Song Dao for the support! I also ask my darlings to go to Penguin Music and support it a little. This song is super nice, I promise!
Hu Wei: I can testify, this song is super nice, very healing!
Ma Shen: Just went to listen to it. Good, it's really too good. Teacher Water Hits Three Thousand is as good as ever; anything he puts out is a boutique! It scared me so much I don't even dare to release a new song!
Yin Hong: This new song by Kong Xi is really good. Water Hits Three Thousand maintains his high standard as always!
Li Jun, Zhong Yutong, Xue Lin, Sun Meiqi... all these friends around Song Dao followed suit and reposted.
What's interesting is that even Chu Peining and Qin Lang, who almost never post anything on Shuibo, actually joined the fun and reposted it.
Although it was just a simple sentence of support, it still attracted the attention of many people.
Lin Fei only reposted it at noon.
After she reposted it, Dong Yu quickly followed.
The Feiyang-affiliated group, which had quieted down for a while, made a comeback once again.
Most people who hadn't listened to the song yet couldn't help but exclaim.
— They're back again!
