FV: Chapter 233

Chapter 233

Along with the popularity of Radiance, more and more leading and supporting roles became everyone’s favorite objects of discussion. They were constantly mentioned by everyone. Then as everyone kept discussing it, there was a name that everyone wasn’t familiar with that gradually stood out and became a new topic among netizens: Qin Wu.

Unlike others, Qin Wu had no popularity before this drama and all her discussions were born from her amazing singing during the scene where Fu Han sacrificed himself.

The first feeling was always the most intuitive. The audience was touched by the song in the scene where Fu Han fell. They thought the song was good and went to the major music platforms to download the song one after another. They saw the singer’s name when downloading the song: Qin Wu.

It was just that at the time, everyone’s attention was attracted by Lin Luoqing and was busy lamenting over Fu Han’s untimely death. They also talked about Lin Luoqing’s wonderful acting skills. Therefore, they didn’t care too much even if they knew that there was a singer called Qin Wu.

Later, after some crying, the netizens kept replaying the scene and were surprised to find that it wasn’t just Lin Luoqing’s acting skills that made them cry. It was also the singing that accompanied it.

This song fit the scene so well that in the beginning, they just thought it sounded good, amazing and hit the soul as if it was one with the scene.

Now, they suddenly found that the reason why they had such an illusion was entirely because the combination of the two was too perfect. If this song didn’t exist in the scene, Fu Han’s death would still move people’s hearts and make people feel sad, but it wouldn’t make their sadness last so long that the aftertaste was hard to disappear.

[Does anyone else think that the soundtrack of Fu Han’s sacrifice scene is absolutely beautiful? This young lady’s singing voice is too touching. I couldn’t get over it after listening to it for a long time.] One netizen tentatively posted, wanting to see if anyone else shared the same thoughts.

Not long after this post went out, someone replied: [Yes, yes. I have always felt that this young lady sings super well. I specifically searched for the song.]

[I also went to search for it.]

[A lot of people should’ve searched for it. The number of downloads and plays for this song is quite high.]

[This young lady’s voice is so good. It is ethereal and in tune. I can’t help wanting to cry.]

[Wow, I just discovered today that she also sang the ending song. She actually sang so well in two completely different styles.]

[Cold knowledge: These two songs were written by the young lady herself. I only discovered this when I went to listen to the songs.]

[However, this young lady seems to be a newcomer. There are no other songs after searching, just these two songs.]

[Impossible. She sings so well but she hasn’t sung a theme song before?]

[No, this is the first time. She is called Qin Wu, right? I’m not mistaken.]

[Yes, she is called Qin Wu. If you like it, you can pay attention to Qin Wu’s super talk~]

The moment this post was published, it became a hot post in one day. Many netizens were surprised to see that the singer who contributed the most catchy song of the summer was actually a newcomer.

Not only was she a newcomer but she was a newcomer who wrote her own lyrics and music.

She wrote the lyrics and melody herself but the effect was so good. It perfectly added a sad aftertaste that made people feel more and more uncomfortable.

Someone liked this song and released a video about it, specifically analyzing why this song matched this scene so well. If it was replaced by other songs, would there be such a natural effect? They also commented on why the bgm could prolong the sadness.

In the video, Fu Han died repeatedly and Qin Wu sang repeatedly. Netizens became even more impressed by Qin Wu and many fans who liked this song went to Qin Wu’s Weibo to comment on it: [Jiayou, Sister.]

Qin Wu’s agent had been paying attention to the popularity of Qin Wu’s song since the episode of Fu Han’s sacrifice was aired. The number of views and downloads of this song was increasing and Qin Wu’s fans were growing in number.

Once this hot post and video with nearly one million views appeared, the agent didn’t hesitate to buy a hot search for Qin Yu. The fans who had been attracted by Qin Wu immediately took advantage of the hot search to promote her.

It was only at this time that the netizens found out that the ‘interlude’ song they liked was a self-composed song. Then they looked through her Weibo and found that she was also very beautiful. They quickly followed her, hoping that she would create better works.

For a time, Qin Wu’s Weibo gained a lot of fans. A producer even handed over an invitation, hoping she could sing the theme song for a drama.

Qin Wu’s agent didn’t rush to agree but instead rushed to release Qin Wu’s first album ‘I See You’ before Radiance finished airing.

Qin Wu first sighed with Wu Xinyuan in Xingyi. However, Wu Xinyuan didn’t understand music. Therefore, he discussed it with Lin Luoqing and transferred her to a reliable female agent who had looked after singers before.

Lin Luoqing remembered the ending of Qin Wu in the novel. He was afraid that after changing agents, she would end up like in the novel again. Therefore, he specially investigated this female agent. As a result, he found that this female agent was fierce and had various means. However, she treated Qin Wu like she was her little sister. She had a cold face but a warm heart. She was also quite tolerant.

It was only then that he was relieved enough to hand over Qin Wu to this agent.

The agent listened to Qin Wu’s previous songs and the song she created for Radiance at Lin Luoqing’s request. Then she sensitively realized that the prime time to debut was during the drama’s airing. As long as she grasped this time well, Qin Wu could become famous instantly.

Therefore, she specially hired a producer to let him complete a small album with Qin Wu before the broadcast of Radiance.

Qin Wu was making an album for the first time and was very excited. She obediently followed the producer and would do whatever the producer asked her to do. Soon, she selected five songs from the songs she had written before as the test album.

She named this album ‘I See You’ in the hope that others could see her. She also hoped she could see those who supported her and liked her.

Taking advantage of the upsurge from the end of Radiance, this album was sold at a low price on major music platforms.

At this time, the enthusiasm of the netizens for her was still there. They saw that the album was priced reasonably and went to listen to this album with the mood of giving it a try.

After listening to it, they were surprised to find that among the five songs, the first one was very pleasant to listen to. The first one was a warm and moving love song, the second one was an ancient style and the remaining three songs had their own characteristics. They were so wonderful that they could instantly catch people’s ears.

Many people entered the pit. Their promotion started with this album and ‘I See You’ became a hit album on major platforms. In this era where singers were declining, Qin Wu finally appeared like a dark horse. Like a star that suddenly appeared in the sky, she caught the attention of the public and became one of the hottest figures this summer.

Qin Wu became popular and what followed were invitations to variety shows, theme songs and major parties.

Xingyi’s shareholders and employees finally felt complete trust and reassurance in Lin Luoqing.

Lin Luoqing just took office. As the new CEO, it was a lie to say they had no worries about him.

It was just that Ji Yuxiao’s shares were there and the shareholders didn’t dare say anything. Since the shareholders didn’t dare say anything, the company’s artists didn’t dare say anything.

Later, Lin Luoqing became more and more popular. The shareholders were a bit relieved but the artists were more uneasy. They were afraid that all of the strength of the company would be used to specifically support Lin Luoqing.

Now Qin Wu was popular.

She had no backing and no fans of her own. She was just an ordinary artist in the company but she sang the ‘interlude’ song of Lin Luoqing’s drama and started to become popular.

How could an artist with no name sing the interlude of Radiance? Thinking about it, it must be because of Lin Luoqing.

Lin Luoqing helped so much because she was Xingyi’s singer. In this type of company where artists were replaced with new talents regularly, it seemed that they had a chance.

They quietly asked whether this was Lin Luoqing’s plan. Make himself popular and then led other artists in the company to become popular. The existing popularity led to more popularity. This time, it was Qin Wu. Who was next? Could it be one of them?

After all, they were actors and Lin Luoqing was also an actor. As long as Lin Luoqing was willing then he could take them with him at any time.

The artists of Xingyi were full of expectations for a while. They all shifted their attention to the CEO and second brother of XIngyi: Please look at us, Boss! We also want to make money!

The shareholders didn’t have so many ideas. They just did a simple data comparison. Previously, Chen Liwei had been in the company for so long and only cultivated Su Tong as a top artist. Now Lin Luoqing and Qin Yu were popular and Lin Luoqing had personally signed Qin Wu. It could be seen that Lin Luoqing did have some skills and he deserved to sit in this position.

At this time, they looked down on Chen Liwei for being a little trash and delaying their Xingyi. Bah, CEO Lin was more reliable.

Qin Meng looked at Qin Wu’s income for this quarter with a happy smile on his face. He hadn’t cared much about Lin Luoqing’s actions before, but now it seemed that Lin Luoqing’s eyes were really good.

Out of the two people he signed, Shi Zheng was steadily developing in the movie industry. His temperament and appearance weren’t liked by directors in the drama industry but he was very favored by directors in the movie industry. He happened to fill in the gap of Xingyi’s artists in the movie industry.

As for Qin Wu, she was signed later than Shi Zheng but it paid off earlier than Shi Zheng. She was a singer-songwriter. She could always continue to move forward as long as her talent wasn’t exhausted.

“It is a bit magical.” Qin Meng sighed. “Next, it is up to this Yu Jiayou to see if Lin Luoqing is as accurate as ever this time.”

Yu Jiayou, who was remembered by him, was on the phone with Lin Luoqing at this time. He also swiped through Weibo leisurely. He saw the name Qin Wu and felt that this name was very familiar. Then he realized. This was the singer recommended by Lin Luoqing to sing the theme song of their movie.

“Will this singer raise her price now?” He asked.

Lin Luoqing laughed. Qin Wu had increased her price and it had increased by a lot. It was mainly because there were too many people who asked her to sing a theme song. To squeeze out the other parties and let her agree, they all increased the price they offered.

But it had nothing to do with him now. Qin Wu immediately sent him a WeChat message when she became more popular: [Teacher Xiao Lin, I seem to be much more popular now.]

Lin Luoqing replied: [Yes, are you happy?]

Qin Wu was naturally happy. Her dream had come true, she had released an album and was liked by many people. People said she was talented and beautiful. They said she was a talented woman and the hope of the music world.

Qin Wu felt that they praised her too much and she didn’t deserve it. She was just lucky.

[Thank you, Teacher Xiao Lin. If it wasn’t for you, I don’t know what would’ve happened to me now.]

It felt good to have her dreams come true. The more she thought of the days when she was constantly denied, the more she was grateful to those who gave her hope.

[Teacher Xiao Lin, if you need me then you must remember to tell me. I know that you asked me for a song last time to help me gain popularity. Now I have some popularity and I can help you. You must not be polite with me.]

Lin Luoqing felt that she was really cute. She didn’t look like someone who just became famous but like a sister next door.

[Okay.] He replied. [I am waiting for you to sing the theme song for my next movie.]

Qin Wu immediately agreed. [No problem. There is a new work by Teacher Xiao Lin to watch. So happy!]

Lin Luoqing laughed when he thought of this and said to Yu Jiayou, “Don’t worry. There will be no price increase for you.”

Yu Jiayou sighed with relief. “That’s good. By the way, I emailed you the audition requirements. If you have an actor you want to recommend then remember to let him see it.”

“Okay.” Lin Luoqing hung up the phone, opened his inbox and saw that there was a new email from Yu Jiayou.

He took a look and passed it to Wu Xinyuan.

“This is the audition requirement for Return to Jade. Help me transfer it to other agents, let them give it to their artists and see if anyone is interested.”

“Okay,” Wu Xinyuan answered.

“Of course, you don’t have to worry about Su Tong and Shi Zheng. I will go and talk to them.”

“You still want to let Su Tong and Shi Zheng participate in this movie?” Wu Xinyuan was surprised. “You are really optimistic about this drama.”

This was Director Yu Chen’s famous masterpiece. How could he not be optimistic?

“I am very optimistic about it.”

Lin Luoqing finished speaking and remembered something, so he added, “By the way, go and send a text message to the former boss and agent of Qin Wu. Ask them if they are satisfied with what they see now.”

Wu Xinyuan, “……”

Wu Xinyuan felt that his boss’s wife really had no shame!

This was nothing more than the so-called sprinkling salt on the wound.
