Chapter 116 Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire!
The front desk was bustling with activity, and the back office was just as noisy.
"Aunt Liu, Qianqian is so amazing! I want Xiaobai to write a song for me too." Yao Anna's eyes were full of envy.
Liu Qianqian often brought Zhou Xiaobai to her house to eat and drink for free, so they were all very familiar with each other.
Yao Anna is the daughter of Yao Ping from the song and dance troupe, and she has gained some fame for her "Apple Dance".
I only found out today that my little playmate Liu Qianqian is actually the singer of the song "Little Apple" that she danced with. The thirteen-year-old was completely dumbfounded.
Dancing was chosen by her father, but singing is her true love.
The group of girls from the song and dance troupe watched the entire press conference. Although the funny parts were still lingering in their minds, they were now mostly shocked.
"Yes, Aunt Liu, Qianqian has made our dance troupe famous." Si Yun helped tug at Liu Xiaoli's short skirt, covering a small section of her cleavage.
"Sister Xiaoli, Sister Qiong, Qianqian and Xiaobai are so funny, did you really beat them up and drive them away?" Liu Yu asked with a grin. She was in her early twenties and had outstanding looks.
"From now on, let Qianqian lead us to new heights," Susan said with a smile, her words carrying a hint of flattery. She knew all too well how tough things were for the dance troupe these days. She had seen countless times how Qianqian was chased around by her mother in the troupe, and she often heard Qianqian say "lead us to new heights."
"Yes, yes! I want to fly too." The little girl, Gao Ling, nodded in agreement.
"Haha~" Liu Xiaoli laughed, her words full of pride, "Don't worry, there are some roles in this album's music videos, and you'll definitely get to show your faces." She pinched Gao Ling's little cheek and assured her with a smile.
"Anna, don't worry, I'll have Xiaobai write one for you in the future, and I guarantee you'll become famous too," Zhou Wenqiong chimed in.
Yao Anna has a good voice and often hums songs in her spare time; she has heard many of them.
In her opinion, getting her younger brother to write a song for an acquaintance was a piece of cake.
If he doesn't want to, then beat him until he does—since we've already made a bad name for beating children, we don't need to hide it anymore.
Besides, she and Liu Xiaoli plan to open a training school next year, and they will need the help of these acquaintances.
The two had already discussed it and would pack up and take all the girls with them when the time came.
Now they have money and fame, and the location for the training school has already been decided—right in Beijing.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhou!" Yao Anna smiled, and the other girls were all overjoyed.
……
At this moment, after the agents at the front desk received assurances from General Manager Wang and Chen Minghua regarding the supply of goods, the host was replaced by Yang Yuying.
As the noise from the audience subsided, she dropped another bombshell: "Besides the music album, the filming and production of the music video of the same name is also in full swing. I believe that it won't be long before everyone can see vivid scenes of these songs on television. At that time, the music video DVD will also be released at the end of the year, so please look forward to it."
In order not to affect record sales, Era Records kept the news of releasing the DVD a secret—clearly, they wanted to make money from both sides.
The dealers in the audience were greatly shocked!
They had seen the music video for "Little Apple" before and had asked if there were any DVDs or videotapes, but they had not received any confirmation.
Just now, the behind-the-scenes footage of the "We Are All Good Kids" segment was released, and my mind started working again. I was thinking how great it would be if we could release a DVD of it. Even if it was just "Little Apple" and this behind-the-scenes footage, they would be willing to buy it.
I never expected that my wish would come true!
Although he was a little disappointed that the music video wouldn't be released until the end of the year, after thinking about it carefully, his eyes lit up again—let the record warm up the market first, and maybe he could make even more money once the music video was released.
Everyone raised their hands, eager to ask questions.
"Is that a dance or something else?" Lucky reporter asked excitedly. "Can Teacher Liu and Miss Zhou dance again? Those girls in their dance troupe dance so beautifully."
"That depends on the script. But one thing I can guarantee is that Teacher Liu and the others will definitely be in it," Yang Yuying replied. "We guarantee it will be a refreshing experience for everyone. Based on the quality of the song and everyone's support, our Era Records will never skimp on the production of the music video."
Yang Yuying had read the script for the music video and was also envious.
Compared to the music videos of her own songs, they felt like heaven and earth, and she even had the idea of remaking some of her songs.
"Really?" A distributor in the audience asked eagerly to confirm.
"Definitely, it won't be any worse than 'Little Apple'," Yang Yuying assured with a smile. However, she declined to reveal too many details about the music video, instead shifting the conversation back to the audience and reigniting the atmosphere: "I know many of you here may have seen the dance to 'Little Apple' and heard 'Good Morning Jiangcheng'... So now, what do you most want to see and hear?"
Sure enough, a chorus of cheers erupted from the audience in unison.
"Let's dance to 'Little Apple'!"
"Watch the Apple Dance!"
"Let's hear you sing your new song!" Someone remembered a point that had been overlooked earlier—Yang Yuying had mentioned taking this opportunity to promote her new song.
"Yes, yes, yes, listen to the new song!" This time, even the media section joined in the commotion.
Seeing the mixed reactions, Yang Yuying shook her head: "It seems everyone has different answers. We'll definitely sing the new song, but—" she smiled and raised her voice, "Today's main act is 'Liu Yifei.' So, let's hand the stage over to one of today's true 'protagonists.' Please welcome Teacher Liu, Ms. Zhou, and the Jiangcheng Song and Dance Troupe to bring you—'Little Apple'!"
After they finished speaking, Liu Xiaoli and Zhou Wenqiong returned to the stage, followed by five beautiful young women.
Just like in the promotional video for the chart rankings—long, straight legs under a red mini-skirt, and a dazzlingly slim waist under a black T-shirt.
The music prelude explodes...
I planted a seed / and it has finally grown into fruit. Today is a great day.
The children were delighted—this was their special performance, and watching the apple dance was one of the reasons they came today.
Adults are even more entertained—men are boys until they die, and admiring long legs and slim waists is their constant theme.
You are my little apple / I can never love you enough / Your rosy cheeks warm my heart...
As the climax began, the crowd below shook their heads, waved their hands, stomped their feet, and twisted their bodies. Whistles and cheers rose and fell.
[The fire that ignites my life / Fire, fire, fire, fire]
The fire is truly blazing—this fire has propelled "Liu Yifei" to new heights, threatening to rip the roof off the press conference—
After a long while, the dancers on stage finished and dispersed.
Yang Yuying took to the stage again and shouted loudly, "Did you like it?"
"It sounds great!"
Was the dance good?
"nice!"
She paused, then asked, "That's about all for the press conference. What's everyone most eager to hear now?"
"Your new song!" The audience roared in unison.
"Thank you everyone. This is a gift for you all. I will be fine." Yang Yuying said succinctly, nodding towards the control panel.
The stage lights gradually dimmed until they turned a pale yellow...
