Chapter Eighty-Five: The Test

  "Huh, who is this?" Wu Chuan finally couldn't help but ask his question after hearing Lu Li and Lu Qiang's conversation.

  "Oh, you guys just arrived a bit late. Let me introduce you, this is Lu Qiangqiang, and in the future, he will be the general manager of Bie Li Entertainment Company." Lu Li said, remembering that several people had not met Lu Qiang yet, so she introduced him to Wu Chuan.

  After introducing Lu Qiang, Lu Li introduced Wu Chuan and a few others, and they all knew each other.

  Afterwards, Lu Li asked Lu Qiang: "I don't know if your friend has time to help make an album?"

  "Making an album is definitely no problem for him, he just returned from the US and is preparing to develop his career domestically, it's even possible that he'll be pulled into Bei Lei Entertainment." Lu Qiang laughed.

  "Really? That's great." Lu Li said excitedly.

  Actually, Lu Li could go to his alma mater, Huaxia Music Academy, to recruit some professionals, but it's still a few months before the new graduates graduate. The previous ones have almost all been signed by other companies, and Lu Li was one step late, not even recruiting one person. Even if professors like Shen Pengjun can introduce someone to Lu Li, they are also people with appointments, which is also Lu Li's helplessness.

  At this moment, Lu Qiang said he knew a freelance music producer, and was extremely delighted.

  "I'll call him at noon and ask what he means," Lu Qiang replied.

  "I'll be waiting for your good news then." After saying that, Lu Qiang went to look at some company files. Although Meng Qi had already introduced many company situations to Lu Qiang verbally, many things still needed to be looked up in the files to be clear.

  Lu Li looked at Zhang Fengruo, who was still not calm, and asked: "Fengruo, you are the company's first artist. To be honest, these two songs can only be considered ordinary and not particularly outstanding..."

  "Lao Si, what are you talking about? This is a song I wrote myself, how can it be just ordinary?" Lü Lì's words were cut off by Wú Chuān, who looked at him discontentedly.

  "Second brother, don't be self-deceived. Honestly speaking, it's not bad that you can write such a song, but how many new songs will China produce every year? What level is your song among these songs? I think you know it yourself." Lu Li looked at Wu Chuan and said seriously for the first time.

  Wu Chuan saw Lu Li's momentum, and suddenly he was overwhelmed, becoming dejected. Having lived together for four years, the few people in their dormitory all knew that Lu Li was not easily angered, but once he got angry, it was still quite intimidating.

  Indeed, Wu Chuan, I have also composed many songs. Your two songs were evaluated fairly by Lu Li." Yu Yi, who was nearly thirty years old and usually spoke little, said with some tension as he saw Lu Li and Wu Chuan talking.

  Lu Li turned to Wu Chuan and said, "Honestly, with the company's current financial situation, we can't do too much promotion for these two songs. What are your thoughts on releasing them?"

  As for how to release these two songs, Lu Xixin has already made a rough decision in his heart, but he still wants to ask Zhang Fengruo's opinion.

  Zhang Feng's excited expression on his face also disappeared, and he said after a moment of contemplation: "As long as I can record my own songs, I am very satisfied. In the past two months, Chuan Ge, Mu Ge, and Yi Ge have helped me a lot, it can be said that these two songs are their achievements, and my role is secondary. So I am very grateful to them. The current situation of the company has also been understood in the past two months, so it's okay to upload these two songs to yy music network, no need to waste money on things that aren't worth it. And I'm still young, there will be many opportunities in the future."

  Lu Li originally thought that Zhang Feng Ruo would be very unwilling, but unexpectedly he replied in a way that made himself very satisfied. He patted Zhang Feng Ruo's shoulder: "Come on, there will be such a day, although I can't help you with the big publicity, my Weibo popularity is still okay, and I can help you promote it on Weibo."

  Zhang Feng nodded slightly upon hearing the words, he also knew that Weibo was a product under Bilibili's umbrella and was willing to stay here because of it. He believed that a company capable of developing products like Weibo would have a good future. People who can't create content, lack professional skills, but have a decent voice are a dime a dozen now, being able to enter this company is not guaranteed in the future.

  Zhang Fengruo was quite content with himself. He didn't know that it was his answer that made Lu Li have a good impression of him, which had a significant impact on his future development.

  After settling this matter, Lu Li then asked Zhang Fengruo to build his personal homepage on YY Music Network and upload the song. Uploading songs was not a troublesome thing, and Zhang Fengruo sent the link to Lu Li a few minutes later, asking Lu Li to help promote it on Weibo.

  Lu Li received a link to log in to her Weibo and updated:

  The first artist of Bie Li Entertainment, Zhang Fengruo, has landed on YY Music Network with his new song "Da Shuai Ge Chu Nu". Come and listen to it quickly, it's a great song.

  Not only on Weibo, Lu Li also posted this sentence in the updated "The Legend of Qin" at noon, along with a trial listening address from yy music network.

  After finishing all that, Lu Li didn't go home for lunch but instead called up Lu Qiang, Meng Qi and the small team who had just finished recording two songs to go eat at a restaurant together.

  Just as Lu Li was eating, Weibo and book review sections were heatedly discussing his recommendations.

  "Lu Li Da, is this from the "Legend of Archery" crew? Is that a song you wrote?" The boss brought over a bowl of beef noodles.

  "Willow pen is always paying attention to Lu Li Da, the speed is really fast, and it's true love. But I have a question, did Lu Li Da write this song?" - Melancholic Rain Sound.

  "I guess the song isn't written by Lu Lide, because he's probably too busy with the drama crew. But now it seems like Lu Lide has just returned from the crew and is preparing for a new song, I believe his new song won't be far away." Like flowing water, youth flows away.

  It seems that this person is very good at analysis and has basically got it right.

  "Uh, looking forward to Da Luan's new song, now go support Bei Li Entertainment Zhang Fengruo's new song and get familiar with it. Suddenly looked back."

  "Same support, Lu Li Da recommends must support." Die Zhong Bie Li.

  ……

  The people behind are basically expressing their support for Yu Luohan. Of course, there are also some black fans who jump up and down, saying that Yu Luohan will never write songs, but they are naturally ignored by everyone.

  That night, a netizen named Meng Li Wang's reply set everyone abuzz: "Last time 'Gong Xi Fa Cai' exposed some inside information, this time I'll reveal more. Lu Li Da has just returned to the company from the drama crew and is currently looking for professional music producers. It seems that this time it's not just for fun, because Lu Li Da feels that the current production level of the company can't satisfy him. This also shows how much importance Lu Li Da attaches to his new song, so everyone should look forward to it."

  Soon, some people with ulterior motives went back to look at the previous Weibo about "Gong Xi Fa Cai" and found that although the dreamer's words were brief, they basically stated facts and revealed the true situation from the very beginning.

  People can't help but speculate about Meng Li's true identity: "I wonder if Meng Li is a real person, an employee or friend of Lu Xi? But looking at this ID name seems to have other meanings. However, I look forward to the revelation being true and believe that Lu Xi can write good songs."

  "I agree with the person upstairs, it should be someone close to Lu Li's side, but I don't know if she is Lu Li's girlfriend?" Murong Hui Shou.

  "Waaah, can't be, Lu Li has fallen in love! What are we female fans supposed to do now?" There really are a lot of fish.

  "Oh, you upstairs don't have to worry, I'm a hero with thousands of choices, you can pick and choose. What do you think of me, Liu Yuqian?" The boss brought a bowl of beef noodles.

  "Hmm, you didn't understand my name, did you? You're really redundant."

  ……

  Things quickly went off track, but didn't affect Lu Li's promotion of Zhang Fengruo's new song. Soon after, the number of clicks on YY Music Network for Zhang Fengruo's two songs increased significantly. After listening to them, some people with good conditions or who liked this style clicked download, and there were also a considerable number of downloads.

  Of course, Meng Li's popularity also increased due to two exposures and people's speculation about his identity.

  In the book review section of "The Legend of Qin", Liu Xiaowen saw that Wei Bo and Zhang Mo's PS Lu Li were both recommending it, so she knew that Lu Li was going to promote it and opened a book review post:

  I highly recommend the new artist from our company, let's not fall behind. Even Mosquito has listened to these two songs, although they may not be as good as many other celebrities' songs, but they're still pretty good. One of them, "Black Night", I really like it. Although the lyrics and composition are not by Lu Li Da himself, but by a handsome guy from his university dormitory, who even sat together with him at the book signing event, I didn't expect him to be so talented. It seems that he's also one of the new artists our company is going to promote. So everyone please support this new artist, if you have the condition, go download it, this is Zhang Fengruo's debut work, and it will be very memorable when she becomes famous in the future, don't miss out!

  After posting, Liu Xiaowen topped the post and added it to the essence, making it convenient for book friends to see.

  Many non-Weibo users of the Luomeng community saw the eye-catching book review post and clicked in, then replied with their support below. As a result, the streaming and download numbers for these two songs on YY Music increased significantly once again.

  Lu Di didn't go online until late at night, he was having a headache over music producer things, so he didn't know the situation on the internet.

  After lunch that day, Lu Li couldn't wait to urge Lu Qiang to call his friend to see what the situation was. Lu Qiang also knew that Lu Li was now very eager for talent, and quickly made the call.

  The other party listened to Lu Qiang's invitation and expressed that they could join Bie Luo Entertainment, but Bie Luo Entertainment needed to come up with a song that could move him.

  Lu Li and others were also surprised to hear this reason after Lu Qiang hung up the phone, although the other party did not refuse, but it was clear that they would not easily agree, if he could not come up with a satisfactory work for the other person, he was afraid that the other party would be very bluntly refused.

  Lu Li also knew that his small company was not well-known at the moment, and it would be difficult to attract excellent people to join. But when Lu Qiang said that this person's music production level was also top-notch internationally, Lu Li naturally couldn't let him go.

  Knowing oneself and knowing others, Lu Li decided to invite this person later, and then asked Lu Qiang about the characteristics of this friend.

  When Lu Li heard that this friend of Lu Qiang's was someone who pursued his own interests and didn't care about others' opinions, he began to think about what song would move him.

  Hope everyone can give some support
