The straight man in the entertainment circle

Lin Li studied and rested at home for a few days. He declined all invitations and there was no movement on the Internet.

Lin Li posted more and more messages on Weibo.

"Where's the boss? Why haven't there been any news these days?"

"Yeah, I haven't seen Boss's hot search for a few days, I'm a little used to it, haha."

"Should we lose all the money at the concert? Go ahead and sell it."

"Hahaha, you're laughing so hard. Boss, please come out quickly, otherwise you'll be in trouble."

"Haha, I'm afraid Lin Li is like the champions of other talent shows. He reached his peak when he debuted and then disappeared."

"There are still people who say that Lin Li will be a flash in the pan? You are not stupid, you are really bad!"

"There's a new song, boss. I'm waiting to buy it."

"Yeah, I haven't released a song for two weeks."

"If you want to release any songs, just release an album."

"Now I have enough songs to release an album."

…………

Wang Tuo called and invited Lin Li to record songs. Lin Li went to Wang Tuo's house to record songs for several days. He recorded all the songs one by one and posted them online.

This time, Lin Li's songs were released simultaneously on the three major music platforms, and there were more than one. However, even if the streams were divided, the sales of Lin Li's songs were not at all worse than before, but were gaining momentum.

In particular, the song "I Don't Turn" has ranked in the top ten on the three major music websites.

Lin Li was secretly happy, thinking that if this was the case, the side mission should be completed this week.

Next, Jiang Da and the others will start thinking about releasing an album for Lin Li.

"Lin Li, I have applied for the album release number these days. You have enough songs. Let's release the album."

After recording the last song at Wang Tuo's house, Jiang Da said to Lin Li.

Their songs are all posted online one by one, and there is no actual physical album yet.

Nowadays, the physical album market is not as good as before, and the profit is very low, but most singers are still willing to release physical albums. Since this thing is visible and tangible, it is the first goal for many people after becoming a singer. If it is a I have never released an album, and I am embarrassed to tell others that I am a singer. Secondly, because there is no profit, most singers really have no company willing to release a physical album for them, which makes releasing a physical album a matter of pride. , the success of a singer depends on whether he can release a physical album.

After listening to Jiang Da's words, Lin Li knew that it was imperative to release an album, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you can arrange it."

"You have a total of 20 songs now. Uncle Wang and I took a look. We can only select 12 to 13 songs from an album. The rest will be put into the next album. How do you choose?"

Lin Li didn't think twice and said, "Just decide according to the order in which I sing."

"Well, that's what I thought too. Now it's...the name of the album. You have to think about it."

Usually the album's name will be named after the title song in the album, but Lin Li felt that each of his songs could be regarded as the title song, so he was a little unsure.

"What do you think?" Lin Li asked.

"Uncle Wang and I discussed it privately and thought... maybe the album name should be called 'I'm a Superstar'?"

There is a song in this album called "Feeling Like a Superstar", which is exactly what the album name is.

Lin Li smiled and said, "Such a shameless album name... seems good."

Jiang Da curled his lips and smiled and said, "That's it?"

"I think it's okay." Lin Li said.

Jiang Da looked like he had already seen through that he would agree, and said, "The name has been decided, and the song is also available. We just need to shoot the MV now as soon as possible."

Only then did Lin Li realize that releasing an album is no better than releasing a single online. An album also needs a MV.

"We still have to shoot the MV..." Lin Li murmured.

"You don't have to shoot them all yourself. You can just choose a few songs and shoot them, and we can find actors to shoot the rest." Jiang Da said.

"No, I don't want anyone else to star in the MV for my own song. I don't know what it will look like when the time comes."

Jiang Da nodded and said, "Yes, yes, but there are more than ten songs. Can you do it?"

"Nonsense, of course I can do it. How can I say no as a grown man?"

Jiang Da: "…………"

Lin Li thought for a while and said, "I don't think our MVs will come one by one. All of my songs have stories, so I might as well just film the stories of my competition and use them as MVs." In this case, the plots of these dozen MVs can be coherent, just like watching a TV series."

Jiang Da and Wang Tuo were both impressed after hearing this and said, "Okay, this is a good idea."

Lin Li didn't have any objection when he saw them, and said to Jiang Da: "Then you find a good shooting team, and we will start shooting as soon as possible."

"I have already found the team. This is the team I hired with a lot of money. Many of the MVs of top-tier singers such as Leng Ying, Sun Yulong, and Zhou Lingling were shot by them. We can meet in the evening to discuss it."

Jiang Da's work efficiency has always been good, so Lin Li was not surprised. Instead, he turned around and started thinking about how to shoot the MV.

In the evening, Lin Li had dinner with the filming team invited by Jiang Da at the hotel and talked about his ideas.

The director of the filming team was named Yin Shiguang. After hearing Lin Li's idea, he was shocked by his idea.

Yin Shiguang has shot so many song MVs, but there has never been a singer whose album MVs were all connected into one story. Lin Li's idea is really unique.

"Then tomorrow we will find some actors and arrange a stage, and we can start filming the day after tomorrow."

After discussing some details, Yin Shiguang finally said.

"Well, yes, we can bring Wu Ruobing with us when the time comes, and she can come as an assistant.

Shooting the MV is relatively simple, and the story is also relatively simple.

For example, the MV for the song "You Are So Poisonous" basically copied the way Lin Li and Wu Ruobing looked when they participated in the audition for the first time.

Although Lin Li's idea was to string together more than a dozen song MVs into one story, after all, making a MV is not a TV series or movie, and there aren't so many NG scenes. It's enough to show the basic story to fit the situation of the song.

In addition, the stories of Lin Li's songs are clear, and the filming is fast. There is no need to move around. There are only two venues: a competition stage and a campus playground, so the filming progress is very fast.

It took three days to shoot the stage, and then I contacted Sioux City No. 3 Middle School and invited some classmates to act as extras. I shot the MV in the school for two days, and most of the storyline was finished.

In the later stage, just let Lin Li and Wang Tuo shoot some more scenes of singing songs together.

In just one week, fourteen songs were shot.

On the day after the shooting, Yin Shiguang pulled Lin Li and sighed.

"Haha, Lin Li, I have long heard that you are talented and efficient in writing songs. This time we cooperate, I can feel your terror. If everyone in the music industry is like you, it will be easy for us."

Lin Li laughed evilly and said, "If you all do this to me, I'm afraid you will all be unemployed."

Yin Shiguang and others laughed.

"Next time you want to release an album and come to us to shoot a MV, we will definitely give you the best price in the industry!"

Yin Shiguang began to look forward to the next cooperation.

Before coming this time, everyone said that Lin Li had a bad temper and was not easy to work with, so Yin Shiguang's team deliberately asked for a high price when they came this time. Unexpectedly, after this cooperation, they found that Lin Li was very talkative and easy to shoot on site. They were very cooperative, making Yin Shiguang and the others a little embarrassed.

They originally expected to shoot for a month, but now it's over in a week, and they have made more money. If they don't want to cooperate next time, they would be fools.

"Okay, I look forward to our next cooperation." Jiang Da smiled.

"I also wish Lin Li a great album sales!"

Yin Shiguang and the team members expressed their best wishes.

Then comes the post-production work, such as video editing, adding subtitles, adding some special effects in some places, etc. Jiang Da found a distribution company to do post-processing, and it is expected to be completed within a week.

At this time, Jiang Da is also in communication with the publisher to ensure that the album can be released normally in a week.
