Chapter 3 Self-Promotion

Take a simple example: the song "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style" did not receive a warm response upon its release; it was not until more than a year later that it truly became popular. Did a year’s time change people’s values and standards of appreciation? Otherwise, the reason for its rise to fame was that foreigners used this song as a background for dance, which changed the perception of people in the country, subsequently elevating this song to a revered status

Furthermore, the songs that Ye Yang himself has released cannot be described as dazzling to the point of blinding others' titanium alloy eyes! In fact, Ye Yang is well aware that for most songs, if one only considers the sheet music and lyrics, it is truly difficult to judge their quality!

Ye Yang became a reclusive loser not because he lacked aspirations, but because he possessed no skills that would enable him to attain what he desired in society. Becoming a recluse, to some extent, is a form of escape from reality

But will Ye Yang give up just like that? Of course not. Since there are second-generation stars, there must be first-generation stars as well. Ye Yang does not believe that there are no grassroots celebrities. After reviewing a lot of information, Ye Yang helplessly discovered that there are indeed grassroots stars, but the rise of these celebrities has invariably encountered a talent scout. Waiting for a talent scout to recognize this thoroughbred horse? Naturally, Ye Yang will not pin his future on such an ideal low-probability event.

In the year that followed, both the teachers and classmates at school, including Ye Yang's three other roommates, noticed that this genius had changed! The originally optimistic and promising young man had transformed into a seasoned recluse, spending every day in the dormitory surfing the internet. To outsiders, this seemed like the beginning of a person's decline

Ideals are alluring, but reality is stark! Ye Yang, full of enthusiasm, approached entertainment companies with several songs he had prepared, only to receive nearly identical responses: they offered to buy the rights to his songs for a few hundred yuan each. The only entertainment company that showed interest in Ye Yang himself had very stringent signing requirements, demanding that he write at least three hundred songs before they would even consider producing an album for him, and it wouldn't even be the kind of promotion that is vigorous.

However, Ye Yang did not pay much attention to himself. After acquiring the mental cheat, he was not at all worried about his current situation. He meticulously planned how to utilize the meager 100MB of data. By the end of his sophomore year, his guitar skills had reached an advanced level, and his piano skills had even attained a master level. Other skills, such as singing and acting, had also reached a professional standard. He meticulously planned how to utilize the meager 100MB of data.

This is certainly not a sign of Ye Yang's decline; he is actively utilizing his cheat device to prepare for his future rise

In the all-encompassing class, there truly emerged a versatile student. Not only were his classmates proud of him, but even the teachers at the school were quite delighted. For a time, Ye Yang became a prominent figure in the school, enjoying great prestige not only in his class but also attracting considerable attention throughout the academy

Firstly, I have no background, no celebrity parents. Secondly, my family is not wealthy; even if I release a new album, it cannot create any waves among the hundreds of new albums released in the entertainment industry each year. Even if the company wants to promote it vigorously, there are no gimmicks to exploit. Talent? There are countless talented individuals. If being able to write songs is considered talent, then at least half of the people in the entertainment industry could be deemed exceptionally talented.

At first, Ye Yang did not pay much attention to how much money a song could sell for after a rebirth, and how one could rise to fame in one step through it! Following suit, Ye Yang also took a few good songs to entertainment companies, hoping to showcase his "talent" to them, and ideally secure a contract to package himself and transform into a star of tomorrow! Ye Yang even fantasized about whether he should make some requests after the meeting, such as a share of album sales.

After being reborn, the iPhone 4S in his mind gave him hope. With hope, Ye Yang was determined to do everything in his power to realize his ideals. Therefore, even though he had a monthly data limit of only 100 megabytes, Ye Yang still meticulously planned his own path to stardom.

Qinyang City Art College has numerous institutions, but the strength ranking of the public university's art college in Qinyang is relatively low. Compared to well-known local schools such as Qinyang Music University and Qinyang Drama University, it falls significantly short, not to mention the prestigious national universities. In such a subpar university and a mediocre class, Ye Yang's future appears bleak.

The phrase "set out with high hopes only to return in disappointment" aptly reflects Ye Yang's feelings at that time. The experience with hetushu.com had a significant impact on Ye Yang, and after feeling dejected for two days, he began to contemplate why such a situation had arisen. Ultimately, Ye Yang concluded that this outcome was not unjust for him.

Ye Yang attends the local government public university in Qinyang City, Qinyang Public University, where he studies in the Film and Television Comprehensive Class of the School of Arts. It sounds like this comprehensive class is quite impressive, but in reality, it is quite the opposite; rather than being comprehensive, the teaching philosophy of this class could be described as entirely lacking.

"Fame cannot be achieved without hype. Since entertainment companies are unwilling to invest resources in promoting themselves, why not promote oneself?" Ye Yang has defined his own positioning and has begun to take action

Some songs feel different when sung by different people; perhaps one person sings beautifully while another does not. The unique qualities of a voice play a crucial role in the expression of a song. Additionally, there is another vital factor: sometimes, elements outside of the song itself have a significant impact on its popularity

Ye Yang was very pleased; he felt that he had finally reached the level of mastery. As a future star, he believed he was gradually radiating his own brilliance. He seemed to envision countless fans on hetushu.com crying and screaming for him.

Just as we study all natural sciences in elementary school, we divide into arts and sciences in high school, choose a major in university, and then focus on a specific direction within that major during graduate studies, truly advanced knowledge is often not very comprehensive. This all-round class is designed for students who lack specialized skills, and the school's aim is to allow them to gain a bit of exposure in various fields, so that they can have a pathway when they enter society in the future

However, the problem arises: he is merely an orphan. Unlike other protagonists in novels who either come from a wealthy background or encounter talent scouts upon stepping outside, Ye Yang truly desires to enter the entertainment industry and become a star in the making, yet he still lacks a mentor to guide him

What did Ye Yang do in his previous life? He was an online gunman, fully aware of the art of hype! In his view, a well-written and well-sung song pales in comparison to effective promotion! Without media attention, a newcomer faces certain death, so it is understandable that entertainment companies overlook him. One must recognize that the entertainment industry is thriving, with numerous stars and even more star offspring! Any of them possess greater packaging value than he does, as they can at least benefit from the starlight of their elders.
