People in Zongman are masters of copying romance novels

Surprisingly, the video he posted became popular despite having only 80,000 followers.

One reason is that the editing is really good.

After careful editing and tuning, using all the knowledge learned throughout his life, and imitating while thinking, the final video has a quality that is even close to the video that topped the N station rankings.

The second point is that it just happened to take advantage of the traffic of "Who Did You Invite Today?"

In addition, Ryu Amano has a certain fan base, so this video became a complete hit after it was released the day after it was broadcast.

At first, Aoki Jie was completely unaware of this.

After getting up, he started his normal daily life as usual. At school, his classmates asked him some strange questions, which he answered perfunctorily one by one.

This tranquility lasted until I took the tram home after school in the afternoon.

As soon as Aokisuke returned home from the tram station and closed the door, he heard the phone ringing in his pocket.

It was a call from broadcast director, Masami Nagano.

The contact information was left over from the last cooperation, and this time the call was mostly about matters related to the impact of the broadcast.

Take out your phone and answer it.

Just as Aokisuke had expected, as soon as the call was connected, Nagano Masami started talking about radio.

First we said hello, then we got straight to the point.

"Teacher Aoki, have you been paying attention to the online comments right now? It's exactly what I expected. The show and you have a great chemistry. This episode's data has exploded!"

The statement was very exaggerated, and Aoki Jie didn't know how to respond for a moment, so he could only laugh it off.

"Ah...congratulations, Director Nagano."

"No, no, no, I should be congratulating you! I've noticed that your Twitter followers have jumped from 400,000 to 600,000! That's a rocket-speed increase!"

Aoki Jie was a little surprised by this.

Although he manages the band's official Twitter account, he actually doesn't pay much attention to changes in the number of followers on a daily basis.

Whether it's 300,000 or 400,000, Aoki Jie doesn't particularly care.

But according to Nagano Masami, the fan base had already increased so much just one day after the broadcast...

It's indeed a bit exaggerated.

You know, fans are the real foundation for a band.

The number of people attending live performances, the peripherals purchased to support the band...these things are the majority of a band's source of income.

And 600,000 Twitter followers...

Even if there is only one fan out of every thousand people who comes to buy a ticket to watch the live show, that’s a total of 600 people!

Not to mention the various other channels, or fans who are not following, etc.

But it doesn’t matter if you think about these things later.

Aoki was slightly surprised, but quickly suppressed his emotions: "Thanks to Director Nagano, your show has achieved its current success. Thank you."

"No way!" Nagano Masami denied. "The popularity of this show is unprecedentedly high. I guess there will be another wave of popularity later. It's all thanks to you, Aoki-san."

She spoke on the other end of the phone, and then, after a pause, she quickly continued,

"Speaking of which, Aoki-san, you really have a talent for broadcasting. Would you consider making a guest appearance occasionally, or even trying your hand at hosting?"

When it comes to program effects, Aoki Jie really doesn't know where his talent lies.

Maybe doing radio would actually be good for the band's end - after all, more exposure means more fans.

However, because he is not good at broadcasting and has poor ability to control the situation, Aoki Jie is really not willing to consider this aspect at the moment.

So he politely declined: "This... please think about it later, Director Nagano. I will contact you if I am interested later."

On the other end of the phone, Nagano Masami agreed somewhat reluctantly, and chatted briefly with Kiyonozawa about the subsequent impact.

After that, he suddenly asked Aokisuke about the new song.

"Speaking of which, Aoki-san, I haven't heard anything recently... Regarding new songs, does your band have any recent ideas?"

Logically speaking, Nagano Masami should not have taken the initiative to ask about matters related to songs, but now that she asked and took the initiative to talk about this aspect, it was obvious that she was preparing to say something.

After considering it for a moment, Aoki responded, "As for new songs, I have some ideas at the moment, but nothing's confirmed yet. Is there anything I can say, Director Nagano?"

"Any ideas?" Nagano Masami chimed in, then replied, "Well, Aoki-san, a few days ago, KL announced they were soliciting music for a lavishly produced short animation. Many singers tried to submit, but none of them were chosen, including some veterans in the music industry... It just so happened that I thought of it, so I thought I'd mention it to you, Aoki-san."

KL Company, known to Aokisuke, is a very well-known animation production company in the animation industry.

Right now, this company is looking for a soundtrack for an extremely luxurious short animation, and many submissions from veteran musicians have been rejected...

"Produce a luxurious short animation? Are there any requirements?" Aokisuke wondered.

"There is indeed a request." On the other end of the phone, after hearing Aoki's doubts, Nagano Masami gave an explanation.

"KL releases a public welfare animation every three years that is beautifully produced and has a huge investment."

"Six years ago, the theme was environmental protection, which was a hot topic at the time. Three years ago, it was about hard work and struggle. As for this year... right now, society is so volatile, and countless people have chosen to commit suicide because they can't bear certain pressures. In this society where no one speaks up for this, KL Society's theme this year is 'Look to a Better Future.'"

"Look towards a better future..." Aoki Jie thought for a moment and responded without saying anything else.

On the other side of the phone, Nagano Masami hesitated after hearing Aokisuke's silence, as if considering something, and then started to persuade him again.

"But speaking of which, Mr. Aoki, KL's selection criteria for this time were very high. Not to mention those well-known musicians in the circle, even the submission of that Mr. Uesugi Nanasaki was rejected, so this time..."

Nanasaki Uesugi can almost be called the pinnacle of the current middle-aged generation in the Japanese music scene.

Aoki Jie didn't expect that he would actually participate in the submission, and he didn't expect that his submission would be rejected.

The implication of Nagano Masami's words was obvious. She wanted to comfort Aoki in advance: "It doesn't matter if you are not selected. After all, there are stronger people who have not been selected."

But Aokisuke didn't really care——

After a moment's thought, he simply responded to Nagano Masami on the other end of the phone.

"I understand, Director Nagano. Thank you for your information. I will definitely treat you to a meal when I have the chance."

"You're so welcome, Aoki-san. Well, I won't bother you anymore."

"Okay, goodbye Director Nagano."

Chapter 140 What do you think? What do you think?

The release of the new music just happened to coincide with KL's call for submissions for short animations.

According to Masami Nagano, the theme of this short animation is rare, and it is not easy to find a suitable music to match it.

Aoki Jie had some idea in his mind, but it was not very clear at the moment.

After hanging up the phone, I checked the deadline for submissions online.

It’s early December, which is still some time away.

The preparations are absolutely sufficient, so there is no need to be too anxious at the moment.

Thinking about the song, I started to think about my keyboard and guitar skills.

Although I have master-level skills, my skills will decline if I don't train for a long time. Now, it has been nearly half a month since my last practice.

After thinking about it, I decided to take the train to [STARRY] to resume my training for a while.

Piano practice can be done in the apartment, but guitar - Aokisuke's two guitars have been left in the livehouse since last time, so if he wants to practice, he can only take the train to the livehouse.

After thinking about this, after finishing the call, Aokisuke put on his coat again and went out.

Buy a ticket and get on the tram.

When buying the ticket, he was recognized by three female high school students, who pulled him to take a photo with pleading looks on their faces.

I almost missed the bus.

After getting on the bus, I heard people in the car discussing ending the band.

The content of the discussion was not very clear, and I could barely make out that they were talking about things like "new song", "Ajie", and "together".

Probably a fan.

Afraid of being recognized and encountering troubles such as taking photos, after hearing the discussion concerning himself, Aoki Jie decisively pulled up his collar to cover half of his face.

I don't know if it was useful, but fortunately, the two people who were discussing the band didn't recognize him until they were about to get off the bus.

I got off the bus with my face covered, and just as I left the station, my phone vibrated again.

Someone sent a message.

I took out my phone and checked it, and found it was a Line message from Yamada Ryo.

He looked up at the road, confirmed the direction, and then looked at the message sent by the other party while walking.

It is a video content shared to yourself.

The video title is weird.

[Bassist: "Something that belongs to me"]

I was puzzled for a moment and subconsciously clicked on this video.

Video playback.

It started with a black screen, and then music started playing soon after.

This is a song that Aoki Jie has never heard of, but from the lyrics, he can probably tell that it is a song about young love.

During the second line of lyrics, images began to appear in the video.

The moment he saw the picture, Aoki Jie was stunned for a moment.

The scenes in the video show what happened when he and Yamada Ryo were doing a street performance.

The video was well edited, with the right amount of details and omissions. When the lyrics were just right, it happened to play the scene where Miss Liang grabbed his wrist and ran out of the crowd.

This was followed by a few montages of Yamada Ryo looking at himself.

Then comes the chorus.

The chorus is played mixed with the words that Miss Liang said to herself during the broadcast.

After the chorus, some scenes of the two interacting were cut.

Aoki Suke read the entire thing.

The video is short, only about a minute.

To be fair, after watching this video, Aoki's first thought was: "This video is really well edited."

The second idea is -

After twitching his lips slightly and exiting the video, Aoki returned to the chat interface with Yamada Ryo, remained silent for a second, and then typed rapidly.

What video is this?

Probably after reading it, Miss Liang has been waiting for a reply. Now that Aoki Jie has replied, Yamada Liang quickly responded after only a few seconds.

[Ms. Liang from Cat Pie: Suki-san, haven't you seen those? Those fan videos about couples, like you and Kita, you and Nijika, you and Pochi...]

"..."

Once again, there was a moment of silence.

Looking at the message from Liang on his phone, he didn't know how to respond.

Of course he knew about these videos, and he also knew that his fans were very strange and liked to do these inexplicable things.

But now... Miss Liang saw it, especially the video in which she was the protagonist of the mashup, but now it was forwarded to herself... What kind of operation is this?

Can this topic be brought up?

Taking a deep breath and looking at the message on the phone screen, Aoki replied,

[I've seen it, yes, but you sent a video with yourself as the main character to another main character... What does that mean? Is it a subtle confession?]

After sending the message, a while later, 'Miss Liang from Cat Pie' sent an emoticon of 'white-faced geisha tilting her head in question'.

Aokisuke continued to send,

[As for confessing, I won't accept this method. I might consider another method, but that also depends on sincerity...]

The message will be displayed as read.
