Chapter 54 Monsters
At eight o'clock in the evening on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Zixuan, a famous science fiction writer, was invited to the "Big Shot" column of Guofu TV.

"Big Shot" is a popular program that ranks in the top ten national ratings. Every episode will interview well-known literary and artistic masters.

The host talked with Jiang Zixuan about the characteristics of science fiction and the future development of science fiction, and then talked about Jiang Zixuan's new book.

Jiang Zixuan said: "When writing this new book, I made some breakthroughs. The new book is worth looking forward to. And I also found a top sci-fi illustrator. I believe the illustrations of the new book will definitely shock people."

The host asked: "You speak so confidently. Did Mr. Jiang persuade a certain bachelor or a master in the painting world to cooperate with you?"

"None." Jiang Zixuan smiled and said, "The painting skills of bachelors or well-known painters are beyond doubt, but almost none of them understand science fiction, which limits their imagination in science fiction."

"Then the illustrator Mr. Jiang found is a person who understands science fiction and has excellent drawing skills?"

"you can say it this way."

"Is he a painter we know?"

"Well, as far as I know, he's not too famous for drawing."

The host became interested: "Is it convenient to reveal some information about him?"

Jiang Zixuan scratched his head: "Sorry, without his permission, I can't disclose his real name for the time being. But he has a public identity, named Totoro."

"My Neighbor Totoro? The name is very familiar. Oh, I remembered. The biggest dark horse in the 'New List' in the twelfth lunar month of this year is "Treading Mountains and Rivers" by the composer Totoro. Is it this Totoro?"

"Yes, it's him."

The audience at the scene were surprised. They didn't expect Totoro to cooperate with the sci-fi master Jiang Zixuan.This feeling is like a pair of young people who have no connection in the eyes of everyone, but are a good match, only to find out after a deeper understanding that they are actually a couple.

Jiang Zixuan continued: "It may be hard for you to imagine that a young man who can write such a good song is also very good at painting."

The host captured a key word: "young people?"

Jiang Zixuan smiled: "I still accidentally exposed a lot of information about him. Yes, Totoro is very young."

"When Mr. Jiang gets along with Totoro, what kind of feeling does he give people?"

"He is very energetic, has a warm smile, and is an easy person to get along with." Jiang Zixuan recalled: "The key is that he is very talented, young, but very mature in conversation. I rarely see such outstanding young people."

The host smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang gave a very high evaluation. I hope that Totoro will come to our show as a guest one day."

"It will come. My Neighbor Totoro will definitely be a big shot in the future." Jiang Zixuan said with a smile: "I always feel that My Neighbor Totoro has not done its best in "Treading Mountains and Rivers". Even so, it can achieve such excellent results. I am looking forward to his performance next year."

The host was a little surprised: ""Treading Mountains and Rivers" hasn't done its best yet? My God, this is a monster!"

"Another name for a monster is genius!"

……

Wei Wang, who was watching "Big Man" in front of the computer, was about to shed tears. He went to the bookshelf and found a book by Jiang Zixuan, and put it on the "offering table".

Ever since Qi Heng was interviewed by the media, Wei Wang had set up an altar for "Treading Mountains and Rivers".

There is a poster of Qi Heng hanging on the altar table, as long as Wei Wang is at home, it must be three incense sticks a day, praying that Qi Heng's fans can continue to work hard to ensure the number of downloads of "Treading Mountains and Rivers".

Qi Heng's help did not help the performance of "Treading Mountains and Rivers" as much as turning things around.

However, when "Treading Mountains and Rivers" and other major new songs had basically the same promotional resources, Qi Heng's help made up for the lack of popularity of Totoro and Wei Wang, and barely had a chance to compete with other famous singers.

So much so that "Treading Mountains and Rivers" failed to fall below the top five by the end of the month, and the company's senior management began to pay attention to "Treading Mountains and Rivers" again, and increased publicity.

However, other companies are also following up the promotion of the main song, which makes "Treading Mountains and Rivers" not have much advantage. It is almost a certainty that it will slip to No.25 on December 6.

No one expected that Jiang Zixuan would help "Treading Mountains and Rivers" at this critical moment, making "Treading Mountains and Rivers" firmly stand at No.5.

The reason why we say this is a critical moment is because the top five in the "new list" will have the opportunity to be "recommended by the government" at the end of each month.

The top five in the "New List" are equivalent to representing their country to fight on the "National List". In order to increase the competitiveness of their country's new songs, the government will obligate for these five songs in public places such as government units, stations, subways, etc. To promote new songs, this is the so-called "national push".

Generally, the top five in the "new list" will increase a large amount of traffic in the last five days of each month, quickly widening the gap with No.6.This gap is larger than the gap between the top 51 and [-] in the "new list".

If "Treading Mountains and Rivers" falls below the top five before "Guofu Push", then there is no hope of breaking into the top five.

Wei Wang bowed at the "altar" for a long time, chanting about his blessings and fate for a long time, and then went to sleep so happy that he almost laughed out loud in his dreams.

And that night, I heard that many people, including Jiang Tongsheng, couldn't sleep because of the "Black Swan Incident" in "Treading Mountains and Rivers".

In terms of shooting sound, it is just the opposite. "Treading Mountains and Rivers", which was originally positioned as a substitute "second-line song", is now sitting firmly at No.5. In this way, shooting sound has two songs in the top five of the "new list", which is completely overwhelming. Huge advantage of smelling one head.

It is said that the company's top management celebrated this well and decided to make Mu Bai a key training object next year.

However, when Director Gu's daughter's "debut plan" was placed in front of everyone, the senior executives were somewhat dumbfounded. When did this Mu Bai fall into the eyes of Director Gu's daughter? .

……

Mu Bai retreated habitually, glanced at the work on the easel, changed it several times, and was finally satisfied.

He was just about to ask his sister to help send the paintings when the system's voice rang in his ears: [Ding, congratulations to the host for reaching the reward standard! 】
