After getting off the bus, Liu Ruoshi went to a nearby audio-visual store and bought a tape.

She opened the tape and pulled out the lyrics, and found that the composer was marked as "unknown". Liu Ruoshi was a little panicked, because she didn't want people to know the creator's information!

The man named "Wuming" chose to hide, but Linghua did not hide.

Liu Ruoshi felt that as long as she kept staring at the lotus, she would be able to find this "nameless".

Liu Ruoshi was nervous, because she knew that when her songs were released, the reborn person would definitely have some thoughts.

Who on earth is it?

If it wasn't Linghua, then it could be someone around Linghua.

Suddenly, Liu Meilan flashed in Liu Ruoshi's mind - the person who messed up her life. If Liu Meilan had not been reborn, how could she escape the Sun family's captivity? How could she escape to Sifang Island? How could she meet Fu Chen and recognize him as her own?

Although Liu Ruoshi had no evidence, she guessed it must be Liu Meilan.

Now Liu Meilan has more than in her previous life, and it is obvious that she has mastered some information from her previous life.

She entered the entertainment industry, and Liu Meilan also got involved, not letting her have her best, wanting to compete with her.

Liu Ruoshi felt aggrieved and angry. She must do better and be better than Liu Meilan!

Liu Ruoshi asked the driver to drive back to the company.

Linghua's album is playing in Ye Lingling's office.

She was thinking, and there was an excellent producer sitting opposite her. Seeing Liu Ruoshi coming over, Ye Lingling pointed to the empty seat and said, "Director Li, Ruoshi, you all listen to this album. What do you think? Lao Geng said it has the potential to be a big hit. I also think it's good, but I always feel that something is wrong."

Liu Ruoshi's eyes were full of sarcasm: "Don't you think it's very unsophisticated?"

"Rude?" Ye Lingling was startled. "It seems... the melody is very simple, without any advanced techniques. It's just singing with the voice. It feels like there is no background."

Director Li did not speak, but focused on feeling the beat.

"Director Li, what do you think?" Ye Lingling asked, "Will it have an impact on our company?"

Ye Lingling and Liu Ruoshi looked at Director Li.

Director Li pondered for a moment and answered seriously: "Sometimes songs don't need too sophisticated singing styles. Songs that are catchy, have a strong sense of rhythm and are popular with the people can often stand the test of the market."

Ye Lingling raised her eyebrows: "But I really think these songs are very tacky?"

Director Li, as a music producer with both ability and cultural background, said: "Think about those folk songs or operas that have been handed down, which one is not popular among the people? In the eyes of many people, these may not be worthy of being performed in a high-class place, but it is precisely because of word of mouth that they have been handed down to this day.

"Music is elegant, but there is a saying that goes 'the great vulgar and the great elegant'. In fact, there is no clear boundary between the two. What you think is vulgar now may not be so in the future; what you think is good now may not be popular for a long time. We should evaluate an album objectively, not based on personal likes and dislikes."

Liu Ruoshi remained silent. She had to admit that although music is booming now, her own concerts might not be as appealing as Linghua's in twenty or even thirty years.

No, she knows the lyrics and wants to sing them too.

But when she thought about this kind of singing style, her throat simply couldn't bear it, and Liu Ruoshi gradually calmed down.

Ye Lingling asked: "Director Li, you are a professional and you know the music market very well. Can you predict whether this album will be a big hit?"

Director Li replied: “Yes.”

"Will it have an impact on Ruoshi?" Ye Lingling asked back. The number of commercial performance spots is limited, and if they are snatched away it will affect her income.

Director Li hesitated and said, "Although they are singers of different types, people's spending power is limited. If they buy this tape, they may not buy the other one. They always have to make a choice. As for commercial performances, they are all about excitement. Obviously, this kind of song is more popular than Ruoshi's live performance."

Ye Lingling narrowed her eyes: "So it has an impact?"

Director Li nodded: "Yes, but Ruoshi's songs can be released in China, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asian countries, but Linghua's may not be able to."

Ye Lingling smiled, but Liu Ruoshi disagreed.

If she were asked to do anything to Linghua, Liu Ruoshi would not dare.

Liu Meilan is very likely to be reborn, which makes her restless. With the Liu family's warning still ringing in her ears, Liu Ruoshi dare not act rashly.

At this time, Linghua, who was recording the show, was very nervous. Fortunately, everything was arranged in advance and she was not asked any messy questions. Then it was time to sing.

The atmosphere at Linghua's show is very dynamic.

Many people bought albums and came to ask Linghua to sign them.

Among them, host Wang said with a smile: "My mother likes it very much. She also said that she loves to listen to such energetic songs. Once she hears them, she feels energetic all over."

Linghua blushed and said as she signed, "Thank you, Auntie, for liking it."

These days, accompanied by her agent and bodyguards, she attends various events to promote her album.

But just three days after the album was released, pirated copies appeared.

Not only are they sold locally, but they are also sold in other places.

The pirated version is not as effective, but it is cheap and has a large market.

The album, which originally sold well, gradually lost sales after the emergence of piracy, and is far less than the sales of Liu Ruoshi's albums of the same period. However, the number of pirated copies on the market is increasing, far exceeding the legitimate ones.

Although the distribution company has used various connections to crack down on piracy, which has had some effect in Shenzhen, it has had little effect in other places.

Linghua wiped her tears while talking to her cousin on the phone: "Cousin, my albums are not selling well, less than one-third of Liu Ruoshi's sales during the same period. Pirated copies are widely circulated in the market. I heard that even in very remote places there are pirated copies of my albums. It would be great if all these were genuine!"

Liu Meilan listened to her cousin's complaints, smiled and consoled her: "Linghua, it's not possible for a new album to be pirated so quickly. Why don't you call the police and ask them to check if the album was leaked in advance?"

Linghua was stunned: "Leaked?"

"Yes, it was leaked." Liu Meilan nodded. "I heard that your album was pirated on the third day after it was released. In fact, in such a short time, pirates may not be able to judge that the album will be a big hit. I think someone may have interfered."

Linghua wiped away her tears and said, "Cousin, I'm hanging up. I'm calling the police now."

"Wait!" Liu Meilan tried to stop him. "As for piracy, it would be best if we can crack down on it. If we can't stop it, don't worry about it. A blessing in disguise. Look at it from another angle. This is actually a good thing."

Linghua was stunned: "Pirated? I can't even sell the genuine products, how can this be a good thing? I am now particularly worried that the company will not make money and will not record an album for me."

Liu Meilan comforted her cousin, not wanting her to be blinded by the immediate benefits: "Because pirated copies are cheap, they can be sold farther away, allowing more people to hear your songs. You may suffer losses in the short term, but as long as one in ten people like you, you will have a very large fan base.

"Before you became a singer, you said you wanted many people to hear your songs. Although piracy is wrong, it has indeed achieved this. If you think about it this way, will you not be so angry? Don't worry, your company can see your potential. They won't blame you, but will only make better preparations when you record your next album."
