488: Chapter 488 Triple Strike

...

"Tsk tsk, this one is really good."

Lin Chuyan was still in the recording studio, and Zheng Hai outside couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Zheng Hai had hummed them himself before; "sunny day" and "tear bridge" were his two favorites. They definitely had to be included as lead singles, and adding Ruan Xingyu's "36 stratagems of love" rounded it all out.

However, two days later, when it came to "boundless oceans, vast skies", Zheng Hai listened to Lin Chuyan's singing while following along with the lyrics...

He admitted that because he didn't understand Cantonese, he had been speaking a bit too loudly before.

"Xiao Yan, this "boundless oceans, vast skies" of yours is actually quite... spirited."

Lin Chuyan: "How so?"

"I just feel like there are many different emotions contained in one song, and it keeps getting more intense towards the end. Plus, this song expresses its emotions very directly, and the key is that these emotions aren't just about romance; it might be very popular."

...

After all the songs were recorded, Zheng Hai asked about another matter.

"Right, what about the concert? Are we getting ready?"

Lin Chuyan was full of energy: "Let's do it! I need to get the band to start rehearsing again, just for the concert."

"Have you decided where to hold it? You have to apply for approval in advance."

"I'm thinking of finding three or four places domestically and one or two abroad... Also, it's rare that I'm holding one, and I really don't know when the next time will be, so of course, the more people, the better."

"You're going to your hometown, right?"

"Yeah, there are two places I must go. One is Guangdong Province, where I'm going to sing "boundless oceans, vast skies"; the other is the Shanghai 80,000 People Stadium. That's where Xingxing and I made our official announcement last time, so it's perfect to revisit the scene; it has commemorative significance."

Ruan Xingyu stood to the side, smiling secretly, and couldn't help but lean into him upon hearing this.

Zheng Hai gave him a thumbs up: "You're the best! You even considered this; no wonder you were able to find a partner, and no wonder Xingxing is so devoted to you."

As for the concert venue selection, Zheng Hai was an expert. After pondering for a moment, he began to make suggestions to Lin Chuyan: "Then for Beijing, let's go with the Birds Nest; it can seat eighty or ninety thousand people. For your hometown, go to Guangzhou; it can also seat 50,000. Add Shanghai to that, and for the last stop, go to Hong Kong. Although Hong Kong Coliseum can only seat about 10,000, its status is extraordinary. Yeah, it's just not easy to apply for, but we can try."

"Okay, if it really doesn't work, I'll ask some friends over there."

"Who?"

"Anyone works, I guess..."

Lin Chuyan's widest network of contacts currently was in Hong Kong; Boss Yang and Chen Jiaju both had good relationships with him. If he really wanted someone to help, he could basically settle any matter in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Zheng Hai continued: "As for abroad, Tokyo Dome and the Seoul Olympic Main Stadium? I feel like you have the most fans in these two countries."

"Fine, let's settle on that. It would be best if we could start the concert next month; the work for the stage design team that Xingxing helped me find is also mostly finished."

Zheng Hai nodded: "Then we need to start the promotion immediately, otherwise it won't be in time. Also, when Xingxing held her concert last year, we tested a strict real-name system + dynamic verification in the later stages, and the results were quite good. You must do the same, otherwise, these tickets will be scalped to astronomical prices."

"Astronomical prices? What kind of prices are we talking about?"

Zheng Hai said leisurely: "Who knows... tens of thousands? Over a hundred thousand? Give me two tickets, and I might be able to make a small fortune."

Lin Chuyan: "...That must not benefit the scalpers."

"It's impossible to completely prohibit it. Fortunately, we cooperated with the platform last year to test a system: both ticket purchase and entry require facial recognition + original ID card, and they cannot be transferred. Plus, with dynamically encrypted QR codes, it can prevent screenshot reselling."

"That works, that works. If it really gets taken by scalpers to resell, then I'd rather not hold this concert at all."

...

Next, Tianxing began to confirm the application reservations for the concert venues.

The only one they couldn't book was the Hong Kong Coliseum. There was no other way, so Lin Chuyan could only ask Boss Yang for help. The other party didn't say anything, just asked him for two tickets, and not long after hanging up the phone, it was done...

When everything was ready, Tianxing started posting on Weibo non-stop.

Three in a row.

For Lin Chuyan's fans, every post was a bombshell, each one more explosive than the last.

[Lin Chuyan's new Cantonese song "boundless oceans, vast skies" is about to be released!

The stroke of the pen becomes a wave, the splashed ink becomes the sky. Piercing through the undercurrents, growing towards the sun.

There is still light against the wind, wings grow on the crest of the waves—

@Lin Chuyan's brand new Cantonese song "boundless oceans, vast skies" is about to land on NetEase Cloud Music!

Reserve to listen: [Link]

#Lin Chuyan New Song# #boundless oceans, vast skies# ]

Lin Chuyan's currently released Cantonese songs are actually only two— "in the storm" and "who understands the wanderers heart".

Those were songs from when he was filming "a moment of romance". The others had been kept hidden and unreleased because he wanted to assemble them into a full Cantonese album.

This time, suddenly releasing "boundless oceans, vast skies"... anyway, the people of Guangdong Province were very happy.

[The song title sounds grand! Brothers, let's reserve it!]

[Great, he actually hasn't forgotten Cantonese songs!]

[Yanzi, you can't forget your roots; you are from Guangdong Province, bring us a few more.]

Then, before everyone could react, Tianxing's second Weibo post came.

[Lin Chuyan & Ruan Xingyu new album "a thousand words" is about to be released!

a thousand words finally become an album, 36 stratagems of love, cannot compare to a single "I love you."

@Lin Chuyan × @Ruan Xingyu first joint album release, using love songs as a pen, composing heart-fluttering chapters together! #a thousand words# ]

This Weibo post was even shorter, but the amount of information was even greater.

Releasing a new album together? Love song duets? Or what? Nothing was said.

But that doesn't matter!

a thousand words... this album name is good... Little Potatoes, it's like Chinese New Year!

Some sharp-eyed people had already discovered that "36 stratagems of love" was hidden inside; this was a new song that Lin Chuyan hadn't released on Aiyue.com yet!

[Is this to celebrate the successful marriage proposal!]

[Yanzi, why don't you propose a few more times?]

[Tianxing, say a few more words, dammit! How many songs are there in total! When exactly is it being released!]

[Zheng Hai is a big idiot, verified.]

However, Tianxing didn't reply, just kept posting on Weibo.

Fans were still digesting this news, not expecting the next one to be even more exaggerated.

[Lin Chuyan [Soul Power] Asia Tour Concert officially launched!

Beijing · Shanghai · Guangzhou · Hong Kong · Tokyo · Seoul — — Six-city relay, sound moving Asia.

dear music fans, pre-sales are about to begin, please look forward to it!]

Huh?

Concert?

Concert!!!

Lin Chuyan is going to hold a concert!!!

Damn it, filming every day, finally holding a concert!

This news even overshadowed the new album, mainly because Lin Chuyan's live performances were just too damn rare.

Currently, what can be seen on the market is just him singing a few times at awards ceremonies.

Last music festival he was even thrown shoes at by Haters, causing him not to go to music festivals anymore... Haters really deserve to die!

[About to be released, about to be on sale, about to be on pre-sale, Tianxing, you are really something!]

[Don't fight me for it! I want to sit in the front row!]

[It's over, the scalpers are going to sell them at astronomical prices...]

[So, what exactly is Soul Power?]

[So, when exactly are the new song, new album, and concert happening?!]

Unfortunately, Tianxing takes no responsibility after stirring things up; three in a row, and after posting, they disappeared, with no intention of answering any questions. So netizens could only guess wildly everywhere, while incidentally greeting Tianxing.

Tianxing: Well, this is called the art of being scolded.
