So, Xu Lin started registering a Xiaohongshu account.
Nickna: Mr. Xu.
Bio: Online novel writer, currently transitioning, skilled in songwriting and composing, open for business collaboration (lyrics and composition), not signing with any company, internet company dia, don’t disturb.
In the bio part, Xu Lin had already stated this to avoid being bothered by so unwanted elents, though it might not necessarily work.
At ten o’clock, Xu Lin finished setting up the Xiaohongshu account and then posted a single Chapter notification on the novel side.
Actually, he initially wanted to notify on Douyin, but now he has eight million followers, and it’s a large scale. If he really notified, he might be warned or even banned, because it’s obviously redirecting traffic, so he chose to notify on the novel side. As for the fan promotion later, that’s no longer Xu Lin’s concern.
After Xu Lin posted the single Chapter, in just ten minutes, the number of followers on the Xiaohongshu account exceeded twenty thousand.
Xu Lin watched for a while, thinking that fans would promote it themselves later.
Buzz buzz.
At that mont.
Xia Xiyao’s ssage popped up.
"Xu Lin, I followed you on Xiaohongshu!"
"Thanks for following."
"I saw your bio, you ntioned transitioning, so you won’t write novels anymore?"
"Once I finish this book, I might stop."
"Are you transitioning to songwriting and composing later?"
"Yeah, songwriting and composing, writing for others, selling to others, and I’ll take the copyright revenue."
"Ah, why not do it yourself? Like writing and singing yourself, like Xu Song."
Xu Song has quite a few songs where he did everything himself, songwriting, composing, and singing.
Xu Lin: "Doesn’t Jay Chou write songs for others too?"
Xia Xiyao: "But Jay Chou also sings himself, are you debuting?"
Xu Lin: "No, I’ll stay behind the scenes."
Afterward, Xia Xiyao sent several ssages, but Xu Lin didn’t reply, which made Xia Xiyao think she might have said sothing wrong. She was indeed feeling a bit uncertain.
A little over an hour later, Xu Lin made it to Weibo’s trending topics, not too high or too low, around the thirties.
Trending topic: Mr. Xu’s transition.
If you click in, it talks about Mr. Xu’s transition from an online novel writer to songwriting and composing, and quite a few people were paying attention and discussing it.
Xia Xiyao took a screenshot and sent it to Xu Lin, "You’re trending!"
"Also, your Xiaohongshu followers surpassed a million."
"Okay, I saw it."
"Hmm hmm."
"Are you getting ready for bed?" Xu Lin casually asked.
"Getting ready for bed."
"Then good night, sweet dreams."
"Oh oh, sweet dreams."
Xia Xiyao replied, wondering if she hadn’t said she was going to sleep yet, would they have chatted a bit more?
"What am I thinking?"
Xia Xiyao put down her phone. Recently, she was a bit restless, feeling like she was having thoughts she shouldn’t have.
Xu Lin is a jerk, after all, and he’s also her good friend’s man.
So what is she thinking?
Xia Xiyao felt a ss in her heart, and tonight it took her a long ti to fall asleep, especially after listening to Xu Lin’s songs until past three in the morning. The next day she muddled through classes in the morning.
After classes ended on Monday, Xu Lin made two songs finished on the reply side and released them on NetEase Cloud Music.
Then Xu Lin notified on Xiaohongshu.
And when he released the songs on NetEase Cloud, it happened to be ten at night, exactly twenty-four hours since he launched his Xiaohongshu account. By then, Xu Lin’s Xiaohongshu followers had reached four million, probably fans from Douyin ca over. It’s just not clear if all of them did, or if there were new followers.
After all, with eight million followers on Douyin, it’s impossible for all to be real people, many are zombie followers.
Xu Lin plans to notify about new song releases on Xiaohongshu. It’s much more convenient than on Douyin. If he notifies on Douyin, he has to create a whole video, while a screenshot or a sentence is enough on Xiaohongshu.
After releasing new songs, Xu Lin just waited quietly.
Tonight Xu Lin was only thinking about his own matters without any won around.
Xu Lin didn’t sleep until four in the morning because he wanted to finish writing for the upcoming week’s word count.
At four in the morning, Xu Lin completed seventy-five thousand words of work.
Before going to sleep, Xu Lin checked NetEase Cloud and found that both of his songs were already on the new song chart, occupying the first and second positions.
"Keep pushing forward, full steam ahead!"
The next afternoon, Xu Lin was on Weibo trending again.
And this ti, it was the top trending topic.
This was the first ti Xu Lin reached the top trending topic, occupying the top three.
First trending topic: Mr. Xu’s new song!
Second trending topic: "Clouds Beyond Snow" and "Spring in the Snow".
Clouds Beyond Snow and Spring in the Snow are the titles of Xu Lin’s two songs.
Actually, the song titles have nothing to do with the content of Xu Lin’s two songs, but at the ti he couldn’t think of a na, so he looked to ancient poetry for inspiration. Besides, people who listen to music often know that so song titles have nothing to do with the content at all.
Xu Lin’s two song titles co from a line in the Song Dynasty Liu Chenweng’s "Xing Xiang Zi": As if dreaming of clouds, clouds beyond snow, spring in the snow.
And so, these two songs had their titles.
Third trending topic: When NetEase Cloud charts are dominated by Mr. Xu.
At this mont, Xu Lin occupied the top three trending topics, and the top trending topic, which various celebrities in the entertainnt industry tried hard to reach but to no avail, was easily breached by Xu Lin!
Xia Xiyao imdiately ssaged Xu Lin: "You’re trending number one!"
Xu Lin replied to her: "I saw it."
Xia Xiyao: "Amazing!"
Xu Lin: "Stay calm."
Xia Xiyao: "You seem so composed!"
Xu Lin didn’t reply again.
A few minutes later.
Xia Xiyao couldn’t help but ask: "What are you doing?"
