The straight man in the entertainment circle

On the night when everyone thought that the movie "You Are Young" would gradually withdraw from the box office market, Lin Li posted a short video of Ye Zhiyong's mother and the MV of his new song "Rose Boy" on Weibo.

Almost at the same time, a video of Lin Li singing "Rose Boy" in a movie theater was also widely circulated on the Internet.

That rain of roses seemed to fall on everyone's hearts overnight.

Early the next morning, "Rose Boy" topped the list of hot searches on Weibo.

On major music websites, this song also topped the charts overnight.

Netizens learned about Ye Zhiyong's story, expressed sympathy for Ye Zhiyong's experience, and were moved by the song Lin Li composed for Ye Zhiyong.

"Thank you Lin Li for this song, it gave me a lot of strength!"

"Lin Li's version in the theater last night was so handsome, I was really captivated!"

"Thank you Lin Li. I will be my own rose boy in these rotten days."

"I cried when I heard it, I don't know what happened!"

"I know who is singing this song, but all I hear is me!"

"It doesn't matter if you are you or you, there will be someone who truly loves you!"

"Confessions abound! This song is amazing!"

"As a human being, you don't need to apologize."

…………

Soon, the slogan "Resist school bullying" appeared online.

People who have been victims of school bullying have come forward to speak out and tell their own experiences. For a time, the discussion of school bullying online has become louder and louder.

Many big Vs and some well-known schools have also spoken out.

Finally, some official media also raised their voice against school bullying.

Amid the calls to "resist school bullying", the movie "Young You", which reflects school bullying, has naturally gained momentum and attracted the attention of countless people.

On this day, although "Better Days" only has 15% of the film schedule, and although there are several new movies released, "Better Days" still has a box office of over 100 million thanks to its super high attendance rate!

The performance of "Better Days" and the fact that the Internet is full of voices discussing the topic of school bullying naturally led to more film schedules for "Better Days".

The new batch of released films performed poorly, and the film schedules for the next day were all reduced, while the film schedule for "Young You" increased to 27%!

Affected by this wave of publicity, the box office of the movie "You Are Young" continued to rise, and it exceeded 100 million for another consecutive week.

So far, "Young You" has been released for 20 days, and the box office has exceeded 3 billion!

The box office of "Young You" also surpassed "Captain China" and became the second highest box office of domestic films this year!

A week later, the online discussion about Ye Zhiyong and school bullying gradually subsided, but there were also positive results.

Ye Zhiyong's case was retried. Several campus administrators were punished for business negligence, and some classmates who had bullied Ye Zhiyong were prosecuted.

The country also announced a week later the "Comprehensive Plan for Strengthening the Comprehensive Management of Campus Bullying among Primary and Secondary School Students", which clarified the definition of student bullying, proposed specific measures for prevention, standardized disposal procedures, and clarified disciplinary measures for different situations of student bullying.

This was a great achievement. While everyone felt gratified, they all attributed the credit to Lin Li.

"It turns out that a song can have such a huge impact!"

"I am quite satisfied with this result. I hope the world will get better and better!"

"The most awesome singer in the history of Lin Li!"

"Everyone, please go see the live version. It's so shocking."

“I must go to see Lin Li’s concert in my lifetime!”

"The little kings of the singing world are everywhere! They are so talented!"

"I like Lin Li because Lin Li's songs are not like other singers. They are just about love and love. Lin Li's songs are full of emotions and great love!"

…………

In addition, there is good news. The application for extending the screening time of "Young You" has been approved and the higher-ups have agreed.

In other words, the movie "Young You" can be played for two months!

Although 21 days after its release, the movie "Young You" finally dropped the 100 million mark, with only 90 million left at the box office. However, there are still nearly 40 days of play time, and the movie box office will increase to another 780 million. Even over a billion is not a big problem at all!

Amid the praise, the score of "Young You" has remained stable at 9 points, making it the one with the best reputation among all movies this year.

Lin Li is still satisfied with his first time directing a movie. Both the quality and the box office of the movie have exceeded Lin Li's previous expectations.

However, Lin Li no longer pays too much attention to the movie box office.

Next, Lin Li will focus on other things.

First of all, the first thing is naturally the work that was decided a long time ago.

A guest singer in the finals of "The Voice".

This year's "The Voice" is not as popular as last year. On the one hand, the talent show has shown signs of fatigue. Secondly, the contestants of this year's "The Voice" are far less outstanding than last year's Lin Li, Wu Ruobing, Li Mengfei and others. Topics Even more pitiful.

Last year, the final ratings of "The Voice" broke the program's record, reaching an astonishing 4.57%. The ratings had broken 3% several times before.

However, before the finals of this year's "The Voice", the highest ratings were only 2.8%.

Although "The Voice" is still the most popular talent show this summer, with a ratings of 2.8% that still ranks high among the rest, it can no longer compare with Lin Li's show last year.

There are many people on the Internet who feel sorry for Li Mengfei, saying that if Li Mengfei participated in the competition this year, she would definitely be the champion.

The final of this year's "The Voice" is Wu Ruobing's eighteenth birthday.

The eighteenth birthday is very important for anyone. Wu Ruobing had given Lin Li a suit that symbolized adulthood.

This year, Lin Li naturally wanted to prepare a gift for Wu Ruobing.

Lin Li had already thought about giving Wu Ruobing a song while they were debuting on the show. She had also finished the college entrance examination and could officially enter the music scene. This song could be a stepping stone.

And this song is exactly what Lin Li wanted to say to Wu Ruobing when she turned eighteen.

But since the last Kyoto movie promotion ended, Wu Ruobing has been ignoring Lin Li for almost a month.

Fortunately, it was decided long ago to be a guest in the final of "The Voice", and it was impossible for Wu Ruobing not to go.

Lin Li went to Jiang Da and told him that the final day of "The Voice" was Wu Ruobing's birthday. He hoped that Jiang Da would talk to the program team and leave a separate program for Wu Ruobing.

The director of this version of "The Voice" is still Zhou Chunhui from the second half of last year.

This year’s sponsors include Yiren Yogurt, endorsed by Wu Ruobing, and Dahua Mobile, endorsed by Lin Li.

Therefore, whether it was out of personal feelings or to save face for sponsors, Zhou Chunhui naturally had to seriously consider Lin Li's request.

Finally, news came from Zhou Chunhui that Lin Li could be given time to keep the show alone, but Wu Ruobing could only sing a duet with the contestants, but Wu Ruobing could decide the chorus repertoire and the contestants.

After all, Wu Ruobing’s star position is too small. According to the rules of previous seasons, Wu Ruobing was only fourth last season. Normally, he would serve as a guest when fourth to third place. For Wu Ruobing to be a guest singer on the night of the finals, Zhou Chunhui has already accepted it. There was a lot of pressure, and it was also for the sake of Lin Li and his sponsors.

Lin Li also understood Zhou Chunhui's difficulties. After thinking about it, he realized that his song was sung by two girls anyway, so he asked Wu Ruobing to sing a duet with the contestants. After singing, he told her that it was a birthday gift from him, which seemed good.

So Lin Li began to pay attention to the top three in this session to see who was suitable.

The top three in this session are two women and one man.

Lin Li got to know the three of them a little bit, watched some videos of their performances, and finally decided to choose one of the contestants named Liu Lian to partner with Wu Ruobing.

Liu Lian's voice, appearance, and age are similar to Wu Ruobing's. If the two sing this song together, some harmonies can be added to the song, and the effect will be much better.

The most important thing is that Liu Lian is also an original singer, so he can hide it from Wu Ruobing.

After making the decision, Lin Li wrote the music score and gave it to Wang Tuo, arranged the song, and then went to Mango Station one day in advance.

Lin Li told Zhou Chunhui his plan. Of course Zhou Chunhui had no problem, but now he had to ask Liu Lian for his permission.

So under Zhou Chunhui's arrangement, Lin Li quickly met Liu Lian.

Liu Lian thought it was the director looking for her, so she cautiously came to the rehearsal room, only to find Lin Li inside. She was stunned because, as she said before, Lin Li and the others would not arrive until tomorrow.

"Lin Li..." Liu Lian covered her mouth and opened her eyes wide in disbelief, "Is it really Lin Li?"

Lin Li stepped forward and stretched out his hand to shake her hand. Liu Lian was much shorter than Lin Li. After looking at Lin Li, he didn't dare to raise his head. He just cautiously bowed and shook Lin Li's hand.

Then Liu Lian said excitedly: "Brother Lin Li, I am your fan!"

After all, they were from the same talent show, so it was okay for Liu Lian to call him Senior Brother Lin Li.

Lin Li saw that he was too polite and smiled: "You don't have to be so polite."

Liu Lian laughed, thinking that Lin Li was indeed the same as the rumors said: "I am really a member of the Royal Forest Army. I only came to compete this year after watching you participate in this show."

Lin Li saw that she looked serious. She was a singer-songwriter, so it was not surprising that she liked her own songs.

"Thank you." Lin Li said, "Sit down, I need your help."

Liu Lian raised his head and glanced at Lin Li. When he saw Lin Li looking at him, he immediately lowered his head.

"Senior Brother Lin Li, tell me."

The two sat down and Lin Li told her his plan. Liu Lian was a little disappointed when she heard that Wu Ruobing was her singing guest instead of Lin Li, but she still said: "Brother Lin Li, can I listen to the song first?" ?”

Lin Li turned on his phone and played the song demo. Liu Lian listened carefully and hummed along with the rhythm from time to time.

Lin Li could tell that Liu Lian had good musical qualities.

After listening to it, Liu Lian was very excited and said, "As expected of Senior Brother Lin Li, this song is so beautiful. I envy Senior Sister Wu Ruobing so much."

Zhou Chunhui said: "You agree or disagree!"

Liu Lian smiled sheepishly, he was just praising her.

"Of course I agree. It would be an honor for me to have the opportunity to sing Senior Brother Lin Li's song!"

Lin Li also knew that Liu Lian would agree, especially after listening to the song. Unless she was mentally ill, she would never refuse to agree. Such a good song was a total plus.

The two chatted for a while, until Liu Lian left for rehearsal.

Lin Li and Zhou Chunhui were left alone.

Lin Li asked: "Director Zhou, which player should I partner with this time?"

Zhou Chunhui smiled and said: "This time you want Liu Lian and Wu Ruobing to sing a duet, so we thought about it and decided to give you a solo performance."

"So, you originally wanted Liu Lian and me to partner up?"

"yes."

"Then it doesn't matter if I partner with someone else," Lin Li said.

Zhou Chunhui smiled meaningfully and said, "The audience of our show overlaps with the audience of last year by more than 80%. Do you know how many people like you?"

Lin Li was stunned for a moment, then understood immediately.

"The Voice" doesn't want to partner with others and affect the results of the competition. After all, the votes of the guest singing sessions are also calculated into the final total votes based on percentages.

Zhou Chunhui said that the program team originally wanted him to partner with Liu Lian, but after he asked Wu Ruobing to be paired with Liu Lian, the program team did not arrange for him to be paired with another contestant. This shows that the program team wanted to support Liu Lian to win the championship.

Lin Li wanted to understand the key points and said nothing more.

Liu Lian is indeed the best among the three in the finals.

But Lin Li was a little surprised that in the eyes of the program team, his influence was so terrifying?

Leng Ying was also there last year, so the program team wasn't afraid that Leng Ying's singing would affect the results?

Or is it that last year, the program team also wanted to praise him, so he let Leng Ying partner with him?

Lin Li wasn't sure, but last year Leng Ying's microphone broke down and he helped her resolve the embarrassment. He couldn't say that he took advantage of her.

"Isn't that one less guest singer?" Lin Li asked.

Zhou Chunhui smiled and said: "We invited Li Mengfei and asked her to partner with Li Wei."

Speaking of Li Mengfei, Lin Li was silent for a moment.

Ever since Li Mengfei confessed her love to Lin Li at the "Young You" Kyoto meeting, although Lin Li lived in the same community with her, he had never seen her again.

Li Mengfei has several programs. She is either recording the program or on her way to record the program.

It seems that only non-stop work can keep her from having time to be sad.

She seemed to be chasing, trying to catch up with someone.

In fact, among all the girls who confessed their feelings, the one Lin Li felt the most apologetic about was Li Mengfei.

Chen Qingqing, Lin Li felt that since he had a one-year appointment with her, he would not disappoint her.

As for Wu Ruobing and other girls who confessed later, Lin Li always felt that they confessed to help him get out of trouble.

But Li Mengfei was different. She confessed sincerely, maybe she mustered up all her courage.

But that night, she was ignored by Lin Li and everyone.

Lin Li didn't know how to respond, while the others were attracted by the confessors behind him.

Therefore, Lin Li still felt a little guilty when he thought of Li Mengfei.

And Zhou Chunhui and the others deliberately invited Li Mengfei to come, what they wanted was the topic.

If Chen Qingqing also sings, they will definitely invite Chen Qingqing too!

To put it bluntly, it is just to create a lot of topics to increase the ratings of the finals.

The scene where Li Mengfei confessed so much made countless die-hard fans of this show extremely upset!

Lin Li naturally understood, but he did not object. He just asked: "Then what will I sing when I perform alone?"

"Of course it's "Rose Boy"!" Zhou Chunhui laughed, "We watched your performance in the cinema and were so amazed that we decided to give you the entire PLUS version on stage!"

Lin Li had already guessed it and said with a smile, "Really? I'll wait and see."
