The man of scumbag Gulnazar

Chapter 24 Album Release

The press conference is still in full swing.

"Next, we welcome questions from our journalist friends," the host announced warmly with a smile.

"Hello Qin Tian, ​​I'm a reporter from Sina Entertainment. I'd like to ask why you chose Gu Lina as the female lead in the music videos for both of your albums?" a reporter asked impatiently.

Qin Tian picked up the microphone and asked mysteriously, "Is she beautiful?"

"Beautiful!" the audience and fans shouted in unison, their voices deafening.

Qin Tian smiled smugly, shrugged, and said, "That's my reason, simple and direct."

"Qin Tian, ​​I'm a reporter from Sohu Entertainment." Another reporter followed up with a question, "You said before that Nazha fits the image of your crush. Do you really have a crush on her?" This question was clearly a bit pointed.

Qin Tian rolled his eyes helplessly and complained, "I'm still a student, how can I have time to think about dating? Please ask me more questions about the album, thank you." Then, he silently added in his mind: A crush? We're a couple now, you'd be shocked if I told you!

"Hello Qin Tian, ​​I'm a reporter from Kyoto Entertainment." Another reporter stood up. "Your last album sold nearly 2500 million copies, which would have ranked 4th last year. So, what are your goals for this new album?" This question seemed ordinary, but it contained a hidden meaning.

Qin Tian touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I only just found out about the results of my last album. Thank you for letting me know; it was a real surprise for me. As for this album, of course I hope it will do even better than the last one."

"Qin Tian, ​​I'm a reporter from Southern Entertainment," a reporter asked with a smile. "Your album is entirely composed of traditional Chinese style songs, and the album title is also 'Traditional Chinese Style.' Moreover, your previous album was already quite similar in style to Zhou Naicha's. Do you think you have a chance to surpass him?" This was a real trap!

Qin Tian thought about it seriously for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "Zhou Naicha is my senior. I grew up listening to his songs. I was also influenced by him when I wrote Chinese-style songs. You could say he's my teacher. I will continue to work hard to learn from him. However, although Zhou Naicha has never won online, he has never lost offline."

"You still haven't answered whether your album has a chance to surpass Zhou Liza's!" the reporter pressed relentlessly.

"Of course I hope so..." Qin Tian replied helplessly. Upon hearing this, the reporters chuckled; the subsequent questions were no longer important—this one sentence was enough.

The press conference finally ended. Sun Qian scolded Qin Tian from the side, "How could you talk nonsense? Southern Entertainment's entertainment articles are all made up..."

As it turned out, Sun Qian's statement was verified that very afternoon. Major media outlets reported on it extensively.

Qin Tian said that Nazha is very beautiful and is his ideal woman with whom he has a crush!

Qin Tian says this album has the potential to surpass Zhou Lichao's!

Qin Tian frankly admitted that Zhou Naicha (Zhou Liza) is his teacher!

Qin Tian calls this album the best of traditional Chinese style!

"Zhou Lichao has absolutely no online fame?!"

Qin Tian was completely dumbfounded after seeing these news reports. He muttered to himself, "Did I really say that much? I recognize every single word, so how come I can't understand the meaning when they're put together? You could have just made it up, why did you have to interview me..."

"Destroy it!" Qin Tian wailed inwardly. And indeed, it was destroyed; Sina Weibo was filled with insults. Some said Qin Tian was riding on Zhou Heicha's coattails; others were outright abusive. Some even accused Qin Tian of attention-seeking, and that he and Naza were a mismatched bunch... But then again, controversy generates buzz, so it served its purpose as publicity.

There are all sorts of opinions, after all, with Qin Tian's explosive popularity and the top-notch quality of the MV, our Nazha once again topped the trending searches, squeezing out Shuang's trending searches.

What's meant to be will be, and what's not meant to be, you can't force. These two are practically destined rivals; even without Zhang Han, they could still tear each other apart. However, the combination of Donut and Venus is enough to completely crush the original.

As soon as the press conference ended, Qin Tian rushed home. As soon as he entered, he saw his wife, Miss Zha, had already prepared dinner and was sitting there surfing the internet. Qin Tian hugged her from behind and asked, "What are you doing, baby?" Miss Zha, without looking up, said, "Using my alternate account to curse that little bitch. I even bumped your post, and my main account promoted it for you too. Aren't I awesome?" Upon hearing this, Qin Tian quickly said, "Don't swear, okay? We need to be ladylike."

Lately, Nezha's style has been getting weirder and weirder. Wasn't it supposed to be a noona romance? Why is she getting more and more coquettish? This won't do! I should be the one being coquettish! (?_?)? I never expected you to be like this, Qin Tian!

When Miss Naza heard Qin Tian say that, she chuckled and said, "Okay, I was wrong. Take a look at my post first, I'll go get you some rice, come over quickly after you're done." Qin Tian didn't let go of Naza, and with her stunning beauty in the background, he took another bite. Miss Naza smiled happily and went to get the rice.

Now, all Naza can do every day is feel grateful and touched. There's not much else she can do but take good care of Qin Tian to repay his kindness. (Actually, Qin Tian hasn't done anything special; he's just very sweet-talking. As the saying goes, a good horse is known for its legs, and a good person for their words.)

After moving in together, Qin Tian had to exert himself to the utmost to control his desires every day; he knew how difficult that was. Qin Tian couldn't bear to hurt Naza, afraid he couldn't take responsibility for her. Naza, well, she understood! (What could he do? She just understood everything!)

The next day, as soon as Qin Tian arrived at the studio, he heard someone shout, "President Qin, President Sun, the real-time sales data for PP Music is out!"

The two bosses asked in unison, "How much?"

Li Yu quickly added, "With pre-sales and purchases combined, we sold 600 million tickets on the first day, and the word-of-mouth is excellent!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian breathed a sigh of relief. In this day and age, piracy is rampant, so to achieve such success in the digital album market is truly unique, making him a pioneer of digital albums.

These days, mainland music has always been suppressed by Hong Kong and Taiwan. A few years ago, it was supported by Na Ying and Dao Lang, but in recent years it's been the fans of those who came out of talent shows carrying the show, but their songs still don't have the same popularity as those from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Now, Qin Tian has emerged, which is not bad.

(Speaking of Dao Lang, I need to explain something. Dao Lang's albums were recorded and released directly in music stores, so the industry doesn't recognize his sales figures. Normally, singers sign with record companies, which then contact distributors, who in turn deliver the albums to music stores for sale—that's a complete industry chain. Dao Lang, in order to make more money, skipped the first two steps and contacted music stores directly, eliminating middlemen and their markups, which led to a boycott from the entire industry.)

As one of the few mainland singers who could somewhat resist the invasion of Hong Kong and Taiwan, Na Ying, Tian Zhen, Wei Wei, and Mao Min—these four divas were quite formidable. Na Ying, in particular, was a leader in the North. Regardless of the pressure from any side, since the record company was promoting her, she had to lead the boycott of Dao Lang. Moreover, she wasn't particularly bright; others boycotted her too, but they were smart enough not to have any leverage against her. In this matter, there wasn't really a right or wrong; everyone had different perspectives, and it was all about making a few bucks.

Qin Tian opened Weibo and looked at it. Hey, what are these comments?

"Alone and isolated, yet united in spirit; walking alone, yet enlightened; a continuous lineage, revered as the highest standard; a dragon traversing every nook and cranny; graceful and elegant, tears streaming down one's face; chattering incessantly, neither mediocre nor worthless; sighing and wandering, an old man, a gluttonous beast..."

"Chinese characters, when written, become paintings, leaving behind five thousand years of history, which the world recognizes!"

Qin Tian took one look and laughed: "What is this thing? What was I thinking?"

Netizens left comments such as, "Come on, explain to me how these words are pronounced?"

"I came here to listen to traditional Chinese culture, and you've come here to educate me?"

"You wrote the song by looking up words in the Xinhua Dictionary?"

"No words needed, awesome!"

No one expected that the song "Rare Characters" would become the first to go viral, and the second would be "Do You Know?".

"Ever since my child listened to 'Do You Know, Do You Know,' they no longer have any trouble memorizing this poem!"

"Teacher Qin Tian came to give a lesson today!"

The top five songs on the new music charts are all by Qin Tian, ​​with the ever-present "Nazha is so beautiful" remaining, gaining him yet another wave of fans. After the controversy surrounding her being the female lead in two album music videos, her number of haters has dwindled. (This is because her fans don't know that Nazha is dating their brother; otherwise, there would definitely be a huge uproar.)
