âDoes it seem like heâs about to make a move?â
The netizens from both Qin and Chu were extremely invested, even Lin Yuan, who initially didnât care that much about this event, subtly felt that he needed to respond. Not because he was provoked, but because Lin Yuan saw a business opportunity from it!
Yes, a business opportunity!
The Music Battle between Qin and Chu had unified people everywhere, practically delivering an unprecedented opportunity to Lin Yuan. If he seized this chance, he could certainly boost his Prestige Value enormously!
âPrestige Valueâ¦â
If he could represent Qin Continentâs music in the battle, Lin Yuan felt like he could see numerous Prestige Values waving at him. He didnât even need to specifically compose a new song, because his work was already available:
The several piano pieces from the movie!
This was also a great chance to ride on the coattails of the eventâs popularity. Lin Yuan could utilize the music battle to promote his movie âThe Piano Tunerâ, knowing that promotion was greatly important for a movie!
So what was he waiting for?
This time, without much hesitation, Lin Yuan immediately posted the poster of âThe Piano Tunerâ using Xian Yuâs account. In his status update, he dropped a hint, âThis movie is also known as The Piano Tuner. As the name suggests, I created some music for this movie, including some piano pieces. You can find the answers you want in this movie.â
Whooosh!
Though his status update was similar to the previous one, with Xian Yu still talking about the movie, this time the fans were hooked. His comment section immediately exploded with netizens leaving crazy messages:
âIs he seizing the opportunity?â
âHe composed the movie score?â
âStop talking, Iâm buying a ticket!â
Some noticed Xian Yuâs cunning, âThis is implicitly promoting the movie. You are indeed a marketing genius. If I donât hear satisfactory music after watching the movie, donât blame me for going crazy, Teacher Admirable Fish.â
âAre you the Prince of Ning?â
âShould I piss myself now?â
âWhen will the movie be released?â
âIt seems that Teacher Admirable Fish enjoys mixing his personal stuff in movies. Last time it was poems and couplets, this time he has composed piano pieces for the movie. And the movie is also called âThe Piano Tunerâ, so is this a music-oriented movie?â
âNice, Xian Yu is stepping up!â
âActually, it doesnât matter whether Xian Yu steps in or not. Many big shots from Great Qin have already stepped up. Great Chu would definitely lose this time. However, who told Chu people to constantly use Xian Yu as an example? If a tiger doesnât show its might, do you really think that Teacher Admirable Fish is just a fish?â
ââ¦â
Even though it seemed like he was riding the popularity wave, no one seemed to mind, as Xian Yuâs new movie perfectly fit the theme. It even appeared as if it was specifically prepared for the Qin-Chu Music Battle, giving people a sense of organic integration.
Lin Yuanâs strategy worked.
The moment he rode on the popularity wave, the attention for the new movie soared. Many people started to search for information about the movie. Some movie review websites even had the entry of âThe Piano Tunerâ, though detailed information was not available yet.
âBrilliant!â
Number Eight ended his annual leave.
The day he returned to work, Olâ Zhou couldnât stop smiling. He immediately approached Xian Yu: âThe promotion youâve done is excellent. Some cinemas have contacted us about the screening of âThe Piano Tunerâ. When will post-production be finished?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOn the fifteenth.â
Lin Yuan answered. Since this was not a web movie, like a normal one, it needed time for scheduling. The movie release date was not entirely under his control. However, with the tailwind from the Qin-Chu Music Battle, these problems would no longer be issues!
In this sense, Lin Yuan even somewhat appreciated the Chu people for constantly using him as a stepping stone. It was precisely because of them stirring up enmity and provoking the unity of the Qin people that so many people started to pay attention to his movie!
âHoweverâ¦â
Olâ Zhou voiced his concern: âI havenât heard the tracks in your movie. Can you guarantee their quality? If youâre not sure, I can let our companyâs Maestros assist you. They should have some unpublished works that are of high quality.â
âNo problem.â
Lin Yuan was confident.
His confidence never came from himself, but from the classic compositions popular in his past life. âMariage dâAmourâ was undoubtedly a killer song. One could even say that this was the time that Lin Yuan had the most confidence!
âYouâre confidentâ¦â
Olâ Zhou nodded. He had no doubts about Lin Yuanâs music-composing skills. However, since this matter was of significant scale, if the pieces in âThe Piano Tunerâ were not convincing enough, not only would the movie tank, Xian Yuâs reputation as a composer would also greatly suffer.
Riding the popularity wave was a double-edged sword.
The Qin-Chu Music Battle concerning glory could indeed gain enormous attention for âThe Piano Tunerâ. However, it also raised peopleâs expectations for the pieces in the movie to an unprecedented level. If these expectations werenât met, the consequences would be unthinkable.
The blow would be too hard for Xian Yu to bear.
So, to err on the side of caution, he suggested, âWhy not let Yang Zhongming give them a listen? He might offer you some advice. Iâm not doubting your works this time, but theyâre indeed important!â
Lin Yuan said, âSure.â
This time, real gold fears no fire.
Olâ Zhou nodded and took Lin Yuan to the fourteenth floor. The fourteenth floor was the highest level of the music composing department and was managed by Yang Zhongming. As a top Maestro in Blue Star, it was certainly inappropriate to have Yang Zhongming visit Lin Yuan. Instead, Lin Yuan visiting Yang Zhongming was more fitting.
