Chapter 297: Chapter 278: He will sweep the list_2

“Does it seem like he’s about to make a move?”

The netizens from both Qin and Chu were extremely invested, even Lin Yuan, who initially didn’t care that much about this event, subtly felt that he needed to respond. Not because he was provoked, but because Lin Yuan saw a business opportunity from it!

Yes, a business opportunity!

The Music Battle between Qin and Chu had unified people everywhere, practically delivering an unprecedented opportunity to Lin Yuan. If he seized this chance, he could certainly boost his Prestige Value enormously!

“Prestige Value…”

If he could represent Qin Continent’s music in the battle, Lin Yuan felt like he could see numerous Prestige Values waving at him. He didn’t even need to specifically compose a new song, because his work was already available:

The several piano pieces from the movie!

This was also a great chance to ride on the coattails of the event’s popularity. Lin Yuan could utilize the music battle to promote his movie “The Piano Tuner”, knowing that promotion was greatly important for a movie!

So what was he waiting for?

This time, without much hesitation, Lin Yuan immediately posted the poster of “The Piano Tuner” using Xian Yu’s account. In his status update, he dropped a hint, “This movie is also known as The Piano Tuner. As the name suggests, I created some music for this movie, including some piano pieces. You can find the answers you want in this movie.”

Whooosh!

Though his status update was similar to the previous one, with Xian Yu still talking about the movie, this time the fans were hooked. His comment section immediately exploded with netizens leaving crazy messages:

“Is he seizing the opportunity?”

“He composed the movie score?”

“Stop talking, I’m buying a ticket!”

Some noticed Xian Yu’s cunning, “This is implicitly promoting the movie. You are indeed a marketing genius. If I don’t hear satisfactory music after watching the movie, don’t blame me for going crazy, Teacher Admirable Fish.”

“Are you the Prince of Ning?”

“Should I piss myself now?”

“When will the movie be released?”

“It seems that Teacher Admirable Fish enjoys mixing his personal stuff in movies. Last time it was poems and couplets, this time he has composed piano pieces for the movie. And the movie is also called ‘The Piano Tuner’, so is this a music-oriented movie?”

“Nice, Xian Yu is stepping up!”

“Actually, it doesn’t matter whether Xian Yu steps in or not. Many big shots from Great Qin have already stepped up. Great Chu would definitely lose this time. However, who told Chu people to constantly use Xian Yu as an example? If a tiger doesn’t show its might, do you really think that Teacher Admirable Fish is just a fish?”

“…”

Even though it seemed like he was riding the popularity wave, no one seemed to mind, as Xian Yu’s new movie perfectly fit the theme. It even appeared as if it was specifically prepared for the Qin-Chu Music Battle, giving people a sense of organic integration.

Lin Yuan’s strategy worked.

The moment he rode on the popularity wave, the attention for the new movie soared. Many people started to search for information about the movie. Some movie review websites even had the entry of “The Piano Tuner”, though detailed information was not available yet.

“Brilliant!”

Number Eight ended his annual leave.

The day he returned to work, Ol’ Zhou couldn’t stop smiling. He immediately approached Xian Yu: “The promotion you’ve done is excellent. Some cinemas have contacted us about the screening of ‘The Piano Tuner’. When will post-production be finished?”

“On the fifteenth.”

Lin Yuan answered. Since this was not a web movie, like a normal one, it needed time for scheduling. The movie release date was not entirely under his control. However, with the tailwind from the Qin-Chu Music Battle, these problems would no longer be issues!

In this sense, Lin Yuan even somewhat appreciated the Chu people for constantly using him as a stepping stone. It was precisely because of them stirring up enmity and provoking the unity of the Qin people that so many people started to pay attention to his movie!

“However…”

Ol’ Zhou voiced his concern: “I haven’t heard the tracks in your movie. Can you guarantee their quality? If you’re not sure, I can let our company’s Maestros assist you. They should have some unpublished works that are of high quality.”

“No problem.”

Lin Yuan was confident.

His confidence never came from himself, but from the classic compositions popular in his past life. “Mariage d’Amour” was undoubtedly a killer song. One could even say that this was the time that Lin Yuan had the most confidence!

“You’re confident…”

Ol’ Zhou nodded. He had no doubts about Lin Yuan’s music-composing skills. However, since this matter was of significant scale, if the pieces in “The Piano Tuner” were not convincing enough, not only would the movie tank, Xian Yu’s reputation as a composer would also greatly suffer.

Riding the popularity wave was a double-edged sword.

The Qin-Chu Music Battle concerning glory could indeed gain enormous attention for “The Piano Tuner”. However, it also raised people’s expectations for the pieces in the movie to an unprecedented level. If these expectations weren’t met, the consequences would be unthinkable.

The blow would be too hard for Xian Yu to bear.

So, to err on the side of caution, he suggested, “Why not let Yang Zhongming give them a listen? He might offer you some advice. I’m not doubting your works this time, but they’re indeed important!”

Lin Yuan said, “Sure.”

This time, real gold fears no fire.

Ol’ Zhou nodded and took Lin Yuan to the fourteenth floor. The fourteenth floor was the highest level of the music composing department and was managed by Yang Zhongming. As a top Maestro in Blue Star, it was certainly inappropriate to have Yang Zhongming visit Lin Yuan. Instead, Lin Yuan visiting Yang Zhongming was more fitting.
