Chapter 257 Love Song Duet? A Scam
"Tongzi, since only Jiang Baizhi can sing on the album, my main instrument, while it can't 'sing,' can 'act' at it!"
Jiang Bai thought about it more and more and it seemed feasible; his eyes shone like searchlights.
"A top-tier album from a diva level definitely needs ten top-tier music videos, right?"
"The male lead in that music video is played entirely by my real name, 'Jiang Bai'!"
"At that time, Jiang Baizhi will sing passionately on the screen, and Jiang Bai will make a handsome appearance on the screen."
"I refuse to believe that with such a large fan base, they can't boost my image!"
"Tongzi, what do you think?"
[Feasible. The cast of the music video is not fixed; the host can appear in any 100 songs.]
After receiving the system's reply, Jiang Bai chuckled.
What's this called?
This is called "I bring myself"!
This is called "I'm using my own internet traffic"!
Although it sounds a bit like a nested doll, Jiang Bai felt it was no big deal for the sake of the big business.
"It's all mine anyway. If I become famous, it's a win-win situation!"
"And, the male lead in the music video..."
"There's a male lead and a female lead? A love song?"
"Got it!"
Jiang Bai's eyes gleamed with cunning; he had come up with an even more ingenious plan!
"Chief, Chief."
"In the album, all the songs sung by Jiang Baizhi are fine, right? What about the love songs?"
"Jiang Baizhi wanted to sing love songs for her album, but couldn't find anyone to sing with, so she asked her 'older brother' to sing a few duets. That makes perfect sense, doesn't it?"
[Ding! Reasonable.]
"Will the top-notch production team that created the reward discover that Jiang Bai and Jiang Baizhi are actually the same person?"
[Ding! All team members are top-tier digital lifeforms simulated by the system, possessing complete logic, and are strictly confidential.]
Jiang Bai slapped his thigh suddenly, grinning so hard that his back teeth were showing.
"Fine, you said it!"
"Since I can sing love songs, I'm going to change all ten of these songs into love duets!"
"I can use two voices, one on the big trumpet and one on the small trumpet—isn't that a ready-made 'perfect couple in the music scene'?!"
"I'm so smart!"
Jiang Bai became increasingly excited as he thought about it, and his mind even began to strategize:
"When the music video is filmed, Jiang Bai will play the male lead in his own right, exuding heroic spirit and unyielding integrity."
"The female lead is played by a smaller version of Jiang Baizhi, who is aloof, pure, and stunningly beautiful."
"On screen, the two are gazing deeply into each other's eyes, but behind the scenes, I'm the only one having a split personality!"
"I'll just keep this traffic flowing in my own pocket, making sure it doesn't go to outsiders!"
"It's okay if there aren't that many legendary classic love songs."
"We'll rewrite one of the other classic songs then."
"Hey, Jiang Baizhi sings one line on the trumpet, and the rest is sung by me on the trumpet. Isn't that still a unique love song?"
[Ding! System reminder: Host, please mind your appearance.]
This is Jiang Baizhi's solo album, not a "couple's compilation."
The team rewarded by the system is only responsible for creating a masterpiece for "future diva Jiang Baizhi".
[A maximum of two duet tracks can be included in the album as special bonus tracks.]
"Two songs?"
Jiang Bai frowned, then quickly relaxed, his change of expression so fast that even a god-level actor would be ashamed of himself.
"Two songs it is! It's better than none!"
"Even a fly's leg is meat. As long as I can get involved with this album, with all the platforms promoting it, my net worth will skyrocket!"
Jiang Bai chuckled, his mind racing with calculations.
[Host, I remember last time you agreed to participate in "The Masked Singer," but you were forced to use a secondary account to gain popularity. Why are you being so proactive now?]
Jiang Bai's face flushed slightly, but who was he?
That's a tough guy with 12 points of stamina! That's an outstanding role model!
He retorted in his mind with righteous indignation:
"Yesterday, my thinking was limited; today, I have seen through the illusions of the world!"
"I think your advice last time was very correct. I should have listened to you, otherwise my main account would have become popular."
"I'm making progress; you should praise me for being obedient, not laugh at me!"
"Besides, think about it, Jiang Baizhi is a national goddess now, how many people are eyeing this juicy piece of meat?"
"Instead of letting those greasy young idols outside try to ride the wave of popularity, I'd rather let my own big account take the lead."
"This isn't called actively trying to ride the wave of popularity; this is called—the rich helping the poor, not wasting your reward!"
"This is what you call resource integration? This is called the common prosperity of the Jiang family's business!"
[Host, according to the scan this system just performed, your facial muscles remained completely still and your heart rate was stable and normal while you were speaking.]
[I have to say, host, your skin thickness has officially surpassed the physical defense cap of 12 stamina points, reaching the thickness of a 'god-level fortress'.]
[Due to the host's extremely shamelessness... and extreme psychological fortitude, the system has decided to issue more tasks of this type in the future, allowing the host to race recklessly down the path of 'progress' without ever looking back.]
Upon hearing this, Jiang Bai not only felt no shame, but instead elegantly rolled his eyes, exuding an air of "I am justice" arrogance:
"Progress? Chief, there's no need to rush me to progress."
"You need to understand that although you are a product of high technology, you are not entirely correct."
"I call this behavior 'listening to diverse opinions'."
Jiang Bai paused, tidied his sideburns, and his eyes were as deep as if he had just graduated from the philosophy department:
"A true strong person is one who dares to listen to the advice of the weak, but also dares to stay true to themselves!"
"And what is my true nature?"
"It's all about making money, building popularity, and letting Jiang Bai, this big name, stand proudly in the sunlight!"
"As for whether the process involves using women's clothing for support or relying on shamelessness, does it matter?"
"unimportant!"
[Ding, to put it bluntly, it depends on the host's mood. Some cross-dressing missions are acceptable, but others are not, right?]
"That's right, Master. Of course, if you add a little more money, I might consider it."
"After all, we must stay true to ourselves."
【….】
[Ding! Detected that the host is in a state of extreme narcissism, perfectly matching the characteristics of a 'scheming and ambitious person,' and has automatically learned the relevant acting skills.]
[Congratulations, host! Reward: [Deception (God-level Acting/5 minutes)] - With this skill, every word you casually utter will sound like a heartfelt truth to others.]
"Huh? This can be a reward?"
Jiang Bai was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth turned up in a wild smile.
"See that?! That's the power of 'staying true to oneself'!"
"Indeed, sticking to your true self leads to success!"
Jiang Bai was in an extremely good mood at this moment.
A top-tier album by a diva, plus two duet songs that guaranteed a spot on a major band, and finally, a god-level skill for free.
He looked in the mirror.
Jiang Baizhi in the mirror, because of this confident smile, had an added touch of... fox-like wickedness to her originally aloof temperament.
That kind of beauty was not only sacred, but also carried a hint of dangerousness that could make people fall into its trap.
Jiang Bai wiped his mouth with satisfaction and neatly stuffed the four empty breakfast bags into the trash can.
"Alright, riding the wave is one thing... no, we'll talk about common prosperity later."
"Now, it's time to get ready for filming!"
