"Old man, do you know the idiom 'to try to be clever but end up making a mess of things'?"
Ling Yi knew the old man was doing it on purpose; damn it, he was testing him all the time.
Test his character, test his bottom line!
This disgusted Ling Yi greatly.
Seeing Ling Yi's expression, Liu Beishan realized he had gone too far.
He chuckled and said, "Just kidding. It's my granddaughter's business; she can make her own decisions."
Ling Yi waved his hand and stood up.
"I've eaten, I've met the people, but to be honest, I'm quite disappointed."
"I'm a straightforward person; I absolutely despise those who are scheming and roundabout!"
After Ling Yi finished speaking, he said to Liu Yufei, " Yufei, if you have time tomorrow, come over with Da Yu Shen. September is almost here, and I'm planning something big."
Liu Yufei's eyes lit up. This could be interesting.
He quickly replied, "Okay, I'll bring Da Yu Shen to your house tomorrow!"
See you tomorrow!
"See you tomorrow!"
Watching Ling Yi and Ling Qiqi leave, Liu Yufei turned back to look at her grandfather.
"Grandpa, you've gone a bit too far today. I know you want to control Ling Yi, but I can tell you clearly that Ling Yi is not someone anyone can control."
"He had an inexplicable, intense self-confidence, as if nothing could stump him."
"I can see that now; it's definitely backfired," Liu Beishan said helplessly.
"I'm just worried that he's too rigid and easily broken. Besides, I really want to help him out; after all, having a legitimate identity would save him a lot of trouble."
"I don't want this kid to be ruined by this filthy industry."
Meanwhile, back home, Ling Yi had already started getting busy.
September is a crucial month for all singers, especially for those who are active in the music charts.
If a singer's song reaches the top 50 on the charts before September Number Six, they will have the opportunity to participate in the annual Ancient City Music Awards Ceremony.
This ranking is relatively fair, as it is a list based on public review.
In other words, a good song is a good song, and trash is trash.
At the awards ceremony, more than a dozen awards will be given out, including Best Lyricist, Best Composer, and Best Singer.
It holds a very important place in Ancient Country.
Ling Yi was very confident in his song, after all, it was a classic from his previous life.
Ling Yi not only wants his own song to get on the charts, but also wants Da Yu Shen to ride this wave of popularity and get on the charts as well.
To participate in the chart rankings, you must log in to the Ancient City Music Platform and upload your song.
Although this platform allows users to listen to and download music, it does not usually support uploading songs.
Uploads are typically allowed to open in early August and closed in the middle of the month.
The rankings at the end of the month will be used as the standard.
People can cast their votes for their favorite singers or songs within this month.
Because it's linked to personal information, each person can only vote once. Voting is free, and everyone can participate.
Is it fair? It certainly looks fair.
The Ancient City Music Platform and the Ancient City Music Awards are sponsored by the Ancient Country Music Association, and have had a fairly good reputation over the years.
Ling Yi spent the whole afternoon uploading all eleven of his songs.
Then he ignored it and continued to pursue his writing career.
Around 6 PM, Ling Yi took Ling Qiqi to a nearby restaurant and spent several thousand yuan on a lavish meal.
This is a celebration of Ling Qiqi's admission to university, Shuiwei City University of Finance and Economics, which is considered one of the top three universities in the country.
Meanwhile, in the office of the Imperial City Music Association headquarters, the Music Association's president Liang Cheng, vice president Liang Bin, and technical director Zheng Feiyun were discussing Ling Yi.
"Tell me your opinions!" Liang Cheng said, frowning.
"Brother, Ling Yi is a troublemaker. We can't open this door. Once we do, our rights will be greatly diminished," Ling Bin said.
"But Ling Yi is not simple. Others can fake it, but Ling Yi can't. Everyone isn't stupid. The most important thing for the Ancient City Music Platform is its reputation. If its reputation is ruined, then there's no point in us."
Liang Cheng shook his head.
"In the past, everyone's work was like crap, it all stank together. But now that delicacies are available, who would want to eat crap?"
This is what's giving Liang Cheng the biggest headache.
At this moment, Zheng Feiyun pushed up his glasses and said, "Brother Liang, it's actually very simple!"
Both Liang Cheng and Liang Bin looked at Zheng Feiyun.
"What you're worried about is how to handle Ling Yi's songs once they're on the charts, but as long as he doesn't chart, it's fine, right?"
Liang Bin smiled wryly, " Feiyun, you probably haven't heard his songs. ' Blue and White Porcelain,' ' Red Ridge,' 'Friend'... and the newly released 'The You of the Past,' which one isn't a classic?"
Zheng Feiyun said, "Brother Liang, you misunderstood me. I meant that as long as Ling Yi's songs don't appear on the Ancient City Music Platform, that's fine."
Liang Cheng and Liang Bin's eyes lit up.
"I can have the tech department set up a new setting so that any songs by Ling Yi that are detected will be deleted."
"But what if Ling Yi asks about it?" Liang Bin asked.
"Haha, there are plenty of reasons, it's just wrangling, isn't that what you're best at?" Liang Cheng laughed.
Liang Bin hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, to be honest, this approach is a bit self-deceptive. The audience isn't stupid."
Liang Cheng laughed and said, "Do you think Ling Yi would come if we invited him to the awards ceremony?"
"This... it shouldn't be, but what if he comes?"
"Then give him all the awards."
"This..."
"He doesn't want it because he looks down on Ancient City Music. If he accepts it, he'll be unworthy of the title, and with a little publicity, he'll be seen as a fame-seeker."
Liang Cheng and Zheng Feiyun suddenly realized, "Indeed, experience counts."
Liang Bin then asked, "So, will you still accept the money the same way as before?"
Liang Cheng shook his head. "How could that be? We should double it! We've put in so much effort, shouldn't those good-for-nothings show some appreciation?"
After Liang Cheng finished speaking, all three of them laughed.
Ling Yi had no idea that he had been set up again.
At this moment, he is teaching Ling Qiqi how to cultivate magic.
Of course, Ling Yi simply gave magic a new name, turning it into Daoist Arts.
The reason for teaching Ling Qiqi magic was to give her the ability to protect herself, and also to be prepared for any eventuality.
Ling Yi actually hoped that the system could help him sign in a cultivation technique or Daoist Arts.
Magic is still a bit out of place in this world.
But there's nothing I can do; the Sign-In System rewards magic, so I'll have to make do with it for now.
Ling Yi renamed the Meditation " Spirit Refining Technique," meaning the cultivation of the spiritual Primordial Spirit.
The Lightning remains unchanged; the Magic Shield has been changed to Nine Yuan Body Protection, and the Nine Magic Element have been changed to Nine True Yuan.
Spatial magic has been changed into Escape Technique!
Ling Yi only taught Ling Qiqi these four skills: cultivation, offense, defense, and escape. That was enough.
With this Great Magic Mentor guiding Ling Qiqi and helping her open her Sea of Consciousness, Ling Qiqi easily Entry and successfully transformed from an ordinary person into a little Magic Mage.
Of course, the pseudonym is called " Entry Daoist priest".
Ling Qiqi showed great interest in this.
That night, the brother and sister, one writing Transport novels, and the other practicing magic, basically didn't sleep a wink.
Ling Yi's novels have now become the flagship product of Big Persimmon Chinese Web, bringing huge traffic to the site.
Chairman Bai Lei would be laughing in his sleep.
Ling Yi's popularity is also Rapid Speed, with his fan base reaching an astonishing 20 million.
People are also discussing whether Ling Yi will Sweep all the music awards at this year's Ancient City Music Awards Ceremony!
"Teacher Ling Yi, hasn't your song been uploaded to Ancient City Music yet?"
The next morning, after Da Yu Shen followed Liu Yufei to Ling Yi's house, he asked.
"It was uploaded last night!" Ling Yi said.
"But I couldn't find it!" Da Yu Shen showed Ling Yi his phone screen, puzzled.
The search engine "Da Yu Shen Search" was the You of the Past," but the result was "No such song found!"
Ling Yi frowned, took out his phone, and logged into his account on the Ancient City Music Platform.
The result I received was the message "Your account does not exist".
"Heh!" Ling Yi sneered.
Yesterday he thought the Ancient City Music Platform was a relatively fair platform, but it seems he was overthinking it.
"Let's go get some breakfast first," Ling Yi said nonchalantly.
Everyone had seen Ling Yi log in, and they immediately understood why.
"These people are going too far!" Da Yu Shen disgust.
"That's more like it, isn't it?" Ling Yi said with a smile.
"Using my songs and those 'Oli Gei' to climb the charts feels like an insult to me. Since that's the case, let's go all out!"
"How do we do it?" Liu Yufei asked, slightly excited.
"Let's eat first, then we'll talk."
For breakfast, they ate at a seafood porridge restaurant recommended by Liu Yufei. Afterwards, Ling Yi led the group to Fatty Dong's recording studio.
Ling Yi then made a phone call to Lin Hai.
"Find me some singing streamers, as long as their voices are decent. Remember, they shouldn't be from guilds. Around twenty of them."
Lin Hai was a little confused and asked, "Boss, why not hire people from guilds? Most of the good singing streamers have already joined guilds."
"I'm afraid some idiots might cause trouble. Those guilds are all very rule-abiding," Ling Yi said dismissively.
"Uh, cough cough, you're right!"
Although Ling Yi has authorized all his songs to the Slow Foot Music Platform, so far, not a single member of any of the guilds has dared to sing Ling Yi's songs on the Slow Foot Platform.
This just goes to show that they really "follow the rules"!
"Take a good look at these twenty people, give them S-level contracts directly, and then have them Shuiwei City to find me. Tell them that I will tailor-make a few songs for each of them."
"Although it's an S-type visa, everyone has to sign a ten-year contract, and the penalty for breach of contract is set at an exorbitant level, you know what I mean?"
"Understood!" Lin Hai knew perfectly well that Ling Yi wanted to make these people famous, but there was a price to pay.
The S-sign is sufficient to guarantee these people's treatment, rather than a contract of servitude.
Ten years is the bottom line. The high penalty for breach of contract is simply because I don't want the people I've nurtured to be poached by others in the end.
After hanging up the phone, Ling Yi looked at Fatty Dong.
"Get me a stage, a high-end one. Don't worry about the cost; I need it on September Number Six."
Everyone was startled, and instantly understood Ling Yi's meaning.
September Number Six is the date of the Ancient City Music Awards Ceremony, and the entire awards ceremony will be broadcast live.
What Ling Yi wants to do is already quite obvious.
However, that's not enough.
Ling Yi wants to completely destroy the Ancient City Music, ensuring it can never recover.
Ling Yi never shows mercy to his enemies, regardless of whether they are powerful or weak!
