80: Chapter 80 The Resurrected Chat Group

Beyond the major music charts, Lin Chuyan had once again made the trending searches.

#Lin Chuyan rebirth#

#I Am a Fish#

#rebirth Good Song#

He was, of course, happy to see it. Being on the trending searches every day was the easiest way to attract Haters, and the number of people scolding him had clearly increased.

Wu Yue had absolutely no complaints about this. He was still negotiating endorsements on his end. What did you call this? This was his own artist showing promise! Others wanted to be on the trending searches but couldn't even get on.

"By the way, when is the MV for 'I Am a Fish' being released?"

Lin Chuyan hadn't forgotten about this.

"It was originally supposed to be released along with the song, but since rumors about you and Ruan Xingyu spread a few days ago, Zheng Hai said to wait a couple of days to let things cool down. It also helps with building up the trending searches bit by bit."

Lin Chuyan felt a bit sympathetic: "That's too cruel."

"What?"

"The MV. I can already imagine the Haters might be so angry in a few days that they'll want to kill me."

Wu Yue chuckled: "Then how about you keep a low profile?"

"A low profile is impossible. I'm going to be scolded anyway. Either I make the Haters die of anger, or I give myself internal injuries from holding it in. Of two evils, choose the lesser; I'll just have to make the Haters suffer a little."

Wu Yue had also come to terms with it over these past few days: "Your persona is one-of-a-kind in the Chinese Entertainment Industry. Looking at it now, it doesn't seem like a bad thing. Just keep it in check—don't act like a shrew or use profanity. Besides, we have the work to back us up, so what are we afraid of? Go get them!"

The dynamic traffic value settlement for this round continued to explode.

'ambush from ten sides' vs. paparazzi + 'rebirth' EP receiving good reviews.

These five songs were still hanging on the major music charts, and 'I Am a Fish' was even starting to break out of the circle.

How about this wave?

Ding!

[Dynamic Traffic Value: Red (1322859) Black (1745312)]

[Congratulations to the host, this round's dynamic traffic value settlement is 3 million+, you can exchange it for 1 Treasure Chest (Gold)]

Just over 3 million; Lin Chuyan was already very satisfied.

What was surprising was that the Haters didn't seem to be working hard enough; the number of people praising him was almost catching up to the number of people scolding him...

Lin Chuyan looked at the treasure chest and steadied his mind—Open!

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 Base Attribute Points (can be freely allocated)]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 Special Skill Points (can be freely allocated), unlocking the special skill 'Dance']

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining an item: 1 Immersive Deep Learning Card]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the complete Songwriting for the work 'General']

Lin Chuyan had quite a bit of money in his bank account now, but for some reason, he felt that these points looked even more satisfying than his bank balance...

With so many points, he still had to use them.

After thinking about it, 'rebirth' had just been released, and he probably wouldn't be releasing songs for a while, so he decided to put points into 'Songwriting'. He felt uneasy if he didn't put points here. Sometimes when chatting with Zheng Hai, he had to be cautious, occasionally dodging him for fear of his secret being exposed.

There was only a pitiful 1 point on the panel, so he added another 49 points!

The 50 points in 'Songwriting' drove the special skills 'Guitar' and 'Violin' up by 5 points each.

His brain suddenly filled with a lot of knowledge regarding Songwriting, feeling a bit swollen.

He rested for a while and continued adding points. 'Lines' was currently at 21, so he added another 29 points!

The four major base attributes were all round numbers of 50, which looked much better to his obsessive-compulsive side.

As for the special skills, he planned to look at them later; no rush for now.

He continued to read down.

The special skill given was Dance, which was truly a must-have for an idol. However, he didn't intend to develop in that direction, so he ignored it for now.

There was also the Immersive Deep Learning Card that appeared for the first time.

Lin Chuyan carefully read the description:

[Immersive Deep Learning Card: Can perform one immersive deep learning session on a specific target, thereby increasing its proficiency]

He didn't understand it.

Never mind, he'd keep it and deal with it later.

Finally, the song provided. It was Jay Chou again, 'General'!

These lyrics seemed like they could also be used to roast people? Nice, the System really understood him.

He would work hard later to sing it well, and see who was unlucky enough to run into his line of fire.

No need to say more, register the copyright first.

Not long after registering the copyright, just as Lin Chuyan was about to chat with his girlfriend, he suddenly discovered that a group chat on his WeChat had inexplicably become lively...

Group name: 404 Boy Band Never Give Up.

Lin Chuyan remembered; this was the group created when he formed the group during the talent show. 404 was the date of the debut night (April 4th)—now that he thought about it, the date really wasn't very auspicious.

On the night of the finals, the top nine automatically formed a group. But this so-called boy band was actually just dragged out to make money for a few rounds; after harvesting the fans, they all went their separate ways.

So, no one had spoken in this group for a long time. It had been buried at the very bottom of Lin Chuyan's list, and he hadn't even thought about it since he transmigrated.

What was this now?

He scrolled up; in a group of nine people, half of them were talking.

They even all tagged him, and they all maintained a formation...

Jiang Pei: "Congratulations @Lin 'rebirth' has taken off again! Brother, you're awesome!"

Song Ziqi: "Congratulations @Lin 'rebirth' has taken off again! Brother, you're awesome!"

Cai Xu: "Congratulations @Lin 'rebirth' has taken off again! Brother, you're awesome!"

"..."

Cai Xu: "By the way, is Chuyan in Beijing? Or are you still filming in the mountain city?"

Jiang Pei: "He should still be filming. One of the leads of 'the hovering blade', Meng Xinle, is also my buddy. I asked him yesterday, and he said it could wrap up before the New Year."

Cai Xu: "That's perfect, right? Let's get together before the New Year!"

Song Ziqi: "@Lin When are you treating us? I'm already prepared [doge]"

Jiang Pei: "Come to think of it, it really has been a long time since we all got together."

Cai Xu: "@Everyone, guys, if you're free, give a shout? Miss you all."

Cai Xu was the first place in the talent show back then; Lin Chuyan's relationship with him was average.

Jiang Pei was fifth; the production team even used him and Lin to promote a CP.

Song Ziqi was ninth; they had the best private relationship at the time, but he also broke ties with him the most cleanly.

In his past life, Lin Chuyan was just an ordinary wage slave; he had truly never seen such a scene of people 'awkwardly fawning over him'.

A group where no one had spoken for two years, a group that had effectively disbanded, and just because he had 'risen' a bit recently, they started tagging him to go out for a meal?

You have to know that when he was being attacked by the entire internet, not a single one of these people had voluntarily said even one word to help him.

Fine, not taking the initiative is understandable; not wanting to be the first bird to be shot is normal—that's human nature.

But what about privately? Each and every one of them actually avoided him like the plague.

The predecessor had sent messages to a few of them and never received a reply.

Now, each of them wanted him to treat them to a meal?

Damn, how shameless can these people be?

Is this the entertainment industry?

Lin Chuyan couldn't help but click his tongue.

Just as he was about to type a few sarcastic remarks, Jiang Pei spoke in the group again: "@Lin I posted a Weibo and tagged you [doge]"

???

What kind of trouble is this person stirring up again?

Lin Chuyan switched to Weibo and took a look.

Sure enough, he saw the Weibo post Jiang Pei had made a few minutes ago: "Effort will eventually be seen, and I will always be by your side! @Lin Chuyan"

He also attached a picture, which was a photo of the two of them together during the talent show.

They both looked very green and inexperienced, and it looked like they had a very good relationship.

Awesome.

Lin Chuyan was truly a bit impressed...

When he was being attacked by the whole internet, he didn't see him come out to say a word; when he returned to filming, he didn't see him say a word; when 'Entertainment Reporter Xiao Ba' exposed his rumors with Ruan Xingyu, he didn't see him come out to support him either. Now, he comes out to promote a CP?

As long as you don't feel disgusted, it's others who are disgusted, right?

Back then, the CP promotion was originally the production team's god-tier editing. After capitalizing on the CP fans' traffic, in the later episodes, Jiang Pei started to deliberately approach him, using glances and words to care for him to create a sense of CP.

The predecessor didn't know how to refuse, fine. But now that he had transmigrated here, would he still let him drag him along to continue leeching and hyping?

Still thinking about bullying an honest person, right?

Lin Chuyan was so angry he laughed.

Isn't this just walking right into his line of fire?
