The Olympic Games were held as scheduled.
The grand opening allowed the whole world to see the might of the Celestial Empire.
The theme of the song "Beijing welcomes you" was "one world, one dream".
When the Olympics began, Lin Xuan sat at home and watched the Olympic athletes 'competitions with Di Xiaodi. However, his thoughts had long drifted outside of Daxiyang.
I wonder how many sales of my album are now?
Lin Xuan grabbed his phone and called Sister Hua.
"Sis Hua, what's the sales volume of the company now?”
"Aiyo, Little Xuan, don't be anxious. Our album sales statistics are based on the days. It hasn't even been a day yet, so we can't see the sales at all. Listen to your sister and calm down. What we can do with our own manpower has already been done perfectly.”
"I understand."
Lin Xuan naturally understood Sister Hua's meaning. He took a light breath and suddenly thought of something.
He took out his phone and called one of the numbers that had only been marked but had never been called.
The call went through very quickly.
"Hello, Old Chen, I'm Lin Xuan.”
"Lin Xuan? Oh, oh, oh, Little Xuan, hehe, why did you call me?”
An old voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
"Mr. Chen, the Olympics are starting. I just wanted to ask if you still have tickets. My girlfriend and I want to watch the Olympics live and cheer for our country's Olympic athletes!”
"Hehe, no problem. It's easy to watch a game. I'll arrange a full pass for you. It'll be reserved in VIP Room 3. As long as it's a Bird's Nest game, you can watch it any day.”
"Alright, thank you, Old Master."
Lin Xuan hung up the phone, and his mood finally improved a little.
Elder Chen was none other than the executive team leader of the Olympic Committee. He admired Lin Xuan very much. When Lin Xuan went to sing " Beijing welcomes you " live, Elder Chen gave Lin Xuan his phone number and told him to call him if there was anything. Lin Xuan did not expect to call Elder Chen now. It was really useful.
Hence, in the afternoon, Lin Xuan bought some fruits and brought them to CCTV.
CCTV did not allow outsiders to enter. Lin Xuan called Old Chen downstairs. Not long after, a young man came to pick Lin Xuan up. Lin Xuan followed him upstairs in the elevator.
When they arrived at Elder Chen's office, Lin Xuan put down the fruit and greeted Elder Chen.
"Hehe, you brat, come on then. Why did you bring fruits?”
"Of course. I haven't seen you for a long time.”
Lin Xuan said with a smile. He was quite respectful towards this old man in front of him. This old man was a hero who had really contributed to the country.
Elder Chen waved his hand." My body is still alright. I have three meals and two drinks a day, but my physical fitness is not as good as before. Otherwise, how could I miss this year's Olympics? This is the Olympics hosted by our country. If I were a few years younger, I would definitely sign up for the triathlon and get a gold medal for my country.”
Lin Xuan was filled with respect. This was the national sentiment of the older generation!
The two of them chatted for a while more before Old Chen took out a blue ticket and handed it to Lin Xuan.
"Alright, kid, take this ticket. As long as it's a competition at the Bird's Nest, you can get an all-in ticket. Almost all the competitions that you young people like to watch will be held there.”
"Alright, thank you, Old Chen!"
Lin Xuan took the tickets and was naturally very happy. Anyway, the matter of the album had been decided and he had been tired for nearly a month. It was better to relax completely and bring Little Deeny to watch the Olympics.
Lin Xuan stood up and was about to leave when he was stopped by Old Chen.
"Kid, I saw on the news that you released an album? How are the sales?"
Lin Xuan didn't expect the old man to pay attention to the entertainment industry.
"I'm not too sure about that. It should be just average. When I released the album, I didn't expect it to be released on the same day as the Olympics. I don't think the sales will be too good.”
Towards Old Chen, Lin Xuan would definitely tell the truth. The old man was a shrewd person. He couldn't lie to him even if he wanted to.
However, the old man shook his head.
"Kid, if you didn't come to me today, then this matter would have been forgotten. But since you came to find me, perhaps it's fate. So I'll give you a few words. After you leave this room, don't ever mention these words to anyone else.”
What did he mean?
Lin Xuan was stunned when he heard this. He did not understand what he and Old Chen could not say to outsiders.
Elder Chen knocked on the table and said," Regarding the Olympic Games, the Olympic Committee has selected a few songs for the most popular competitions. There will be songs for the winners and songs for the losers. If they win, it will be the national anthems, and if they lose, it will be the songs. Do you understand?”
Lin Xuan nodded." Oh, and then?”
Elder Chen glared at him." What then? I've already said what I need to say. You can think about the rest yourself. Anyway, if someone really doesn't perform to their best, then something good will happen to you.”
Lin Xuan still wanted to ask something, but Old Chen was no longer willing to say anything and directly threw Lin Xuan out.
Lin Xuan was also confused.
Lin Xuan didn't understand what Old Chen meant. The old man told him that something good might happen, but he didn't quite understand.
After a whole day of suffering, Lin Xuan gave Sis Hua a call early the next morning.
"Sis Hua, how was the sales of the first release yesterday?”
After Lin Xuan asked, he felt all kinds of emotions in his heart. He was filled with anticipation and worry.
"It's just so-so."
Sis Hua was silent for a long time before she said Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan was not too disappointed when he heard this. He did not have much hope for this, but he still did not give up.
"How many were sold in total?"
"65000."
"It's not bad. It's quite a lot."
It was Lin Xuan's first album, and he sold more than 60,000 copies on the first day. He felt that it was already very good.
Sis Hua sighed.
"Xiao Xuan, you don't understand. The release of a new album is the same as the release of a movie. It depends on the early sales.”
Sister Hua was afraid that Lin Xuan did not understand, so she explained more clearly.
"Xiao Xuan, let me put it simply for you. For an ordinary singer's album, if it sells 100,000 copies on the first day, the total sales in the final month will be between 1 million to 1.5 million copies. If it sells 500,000 copies on the first day, the total sales in the final month will be between 3 million to 4 million copies. If it sells 1 million copies on the first day, the total sales in the final month will be between 7 million to 9 million copies. Of course, this is simply impossible.”
After Sis Hua said this, she sounded a little disappointed." Little Xuan, your first day sales were only around 60,000 copies.”
When Lin Xuan heard this, he took a deep breath and then exhaled gently.
"It's okay, Sister Hua. I'm lucky to have it, but I'm destined to lose it.”
Sis Hua was shocked by Lin Xuan's words. She never expected Lin Xuan to be so broad-minded.
After Lin Xuan knew his sales volume, he became more at ease.
What he was most afraid of was not knowing failure, but crawling forward in the mud of doubt.
Now that he knew that the album sales were finished, Lin Xuan let go and completely treated this "Olympic month" as his leisure time.
Di Xiaodi's last TV series," The Defense of Love ", had also ended filming a month ago. Now that she knew about Lin Xuan's situation, she accompanied him every day.
Lin Xuan took the VIP pass that Elder Chen gave him and took Deeny to watch the competition every day. He had almost forgotten what Elder Chen had said.
However, on the fifth day, something happened. Lin Xuan completely understood the old man's words and was extremely shocked.
On the fifth day of the Olympics, the track and field competition began.
This was the race that everyone loved to watch. There was no other reason than the thrill of watching it. A short distance of 100 meters could determine who stood at the peak of the world's sprinting!
The 100-meter hurdle.
On the field, the eight Olympic athletes were doing warm-up exercises. In the VIP third room, Lin Xuan and Di Xiaodi were also watching this scene.
"Brother Xuan, do you think Brother Liu Yangyu can win? I really hope he can win!"
Lin Xuan nodded." I hope so too."”
Although he said that, Lin Xuan sighed in his heart. If the trajectory had not changed, Liu Yangyu would probably have failed here.
The entire arena was extremely tense.
Everyone was sweating.
The Olympic commentator even stopped talking.
Almost at this moment, the entire world turned their attention to the track and field arena, to Liu Yangyu.
"Ready!"
The referee blew his whistle!
All the athletes instantly got into their starting positions.
"Bang!"
Gunshots.
All the athletes turned into tornadoes and rushed out fiercely.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened!
Liu Yangyu had actually fallen to the ground!
The sky was actually covered in haze at this moment.
He had failed!
Liu Yangyu had failed!
After the gunshot, Liu Yangyu only ran five steps before he fell heavily to the ground.
Lin Xuan closed his eyes tightly.
After a while, the results were out.
Liu Yangyu was last.
Everyone present was extremely disappointed.
Lin Xuan felt Di Xiaodi grabbing him tightly.
"Let's go, Little Deeny. I don't want to watch the rest of the game.”
There was nothing more disappointing than this.
Lin Xuan and Di Xiaodi held hands and were about to leave when music suddenly sounded from the bird's nest.
The prelude sounded familiar.
Lin Xuan subconsciously stopped in his tracks. Di Xiaodi, who was beside him, was also stunned.
"Brother Xuan, why does this song sound so familiar?。。。Eh? No! No!"
As the song grew louder and louder, Deeny jumped up in excitement and spoke incoherently!
"No, no, Brother Xuan, this is your song, this is your song! This is the song you sang,"Boundless Sea and Sky"!”
After the prelude, the song started playing in the sky above the bird's nest.
" I once doubted myself. Walking in the desert, never bearing fruit. No matter what kind of dream I had, when I spread my wings, the wind became silent. I was used to pain. Could it be considered a harvest? Fortunately, I didn't look back until now. I finally realized that there really was an oasis. Every time I sweated, my life became heavier. I only saw the new universe after I got out of my depression.”
" The sea and sky are boundless. After being brave, you must be persistent and break the lock of fate. Cold people, thank you for looking down on me and making me not lower my head and live a more exciting life.”
Lin Xuan's " Boundless Sea and Sky " was originally a motivational song. However, no one expected that this song would actually resound throughout the sky at the Bird's Nest Olympic Stadium!
"Brother Xuan, Brother Xuan! It really is your song! It really is your song! The country actually used your songs to comfort people's hearts!”
"Brother Xuan, what should I do? I can't control my tears!”
Di Xiaodi was speechless. Liu Yangyu's failure had made her very disappointed. However, she did not expect her husband's song to be sung in the Bird's Nest at this time. The whole world could hear her husband's song.
The huge contrast between the two made Di Xiaodi unable to hold back her tears.
Apart from Deeny, everyone in the arena shed tears when they heard the song.
They had actually failed in their own country's home ground. Everyone's hearts were filled with regret. Lin Xuan's song happened to brush away the determination in their hearts, instantly causing countless people to shed tears.
Even the host and the Olympic commentator were incoherent." Let's watch our country's new singer, Lin Xuan, sing 'Boundless Sea and Sky'. Let's wish those who are lost to find their oasis soon.”
After the Olympic commentator finished speaking with a sobbing tone, almost everyone cried.
Everyone cried, except for one person.
Lin Xuan.
A miracle had really happened!
Lin Xuan was stunned.
At this moment, he was staring blankly at Liu Yangyu, who was at a loss on the stage. As he listened to his own song, he fell into two very complicated situations.
His first thought was that he seemed to be taking advantage of the country. His song would actually be played in the Olympics during the release of his album. This was simply an advertisement for the country. However, he felt sorry for Liu Yangyu.
The second thought was that Lin Xuan knew that he would definitely be popular this time!
It was on fire!
It was really going to be popular this time!
