Chapter 32: The View Count of "A Glimpse of Elegance" Skyrockets!

"Blah, blah..."

Inside the studio, Lin Feng stared at his computer screen.

Rumors regarding the drama *Xianxia Romance* were beginning to circulate online. With insiders leaking information, the names Lin Feng and Han Jiayin had started appearing across the internet. While it wasn't exactly cause for wild celebration, seeing their names pop up in the entertainment sections gave them a strange, indescribable feeling.

[Lin Feng? Han Jiayin? Are they newcomers? Or just some D-list singers they dug up from somewhere?]
[I just want to know what the theme song is! Hurry, hurry, hurry!]
[There’s not even a trailer yet. What are they doing...]

"How about it? How are you feeling?" Li Can patted Lin Feng on the shoulder, asking with a grin.

"Hmm~~" Lin Feng’s eyes sparkled. He made a grasping motion with his hand and let out a long, dramatic moan, "I feel like I’ve grasped the future."

"You certainly know how to grasp things," Li Can’s eye twitched as the image of a certain stick-like object flashed through his mind.

Hearing this, Lin Feng shook his head, his expression sincere. "It’s all thanks to Brother Can’s help that I’m able to grasp it."

"If I don’t help you, you’d better handle it yourself," Li Can said, his eyelids fluttering wildly as he tried to end the conversation as quickly as possible.

Lin Feng, oblivious, simply thought Brother Can was a genuinely good person for telling him that "only by honing your own skills can you go further." He didn’t say anything more, but his internal resolve solidified.

"Anyway, let’s hold a meeting once everyone gets here," Li Can said after a moment of contemplation. "Chen Meijing’s album production is moving along quickly. We’re currently finding someone to design the art and cover, and we’ll be certifying and releasing the songs in the next few days. We can take advantage of this time to get our band registered as well."

"Band registration? That’s great! Finally, I can give the middle finger on stage," Lin Feng said, his mood brightening as he started to joke. Who plays in a band if not for the fun of it? If you’re playing rock and not flipping people off, are you even being pretentious enough?

"So..."

"So, since we’re becoming a proper band, we need a name." As Li Can spoke, he heard Chen Gang’s somewhat erratic voice from the doorway.

"How about 'Garden Roses'?"

"Roses?" Li Can turned his head toward the door instinctively. "Feels a bit inferior to 'Second-hand Roses'."

Everyone walked into the studio, sat down around Li Can, and immediately started chattering with interest.

"Forget it, what a lame name. I think we should call ourselves '666', since there are six of us in the band."

"666? If we go abroad to perform, will the audience have to bring their own crosses?"

"If we’re going with '666', we might as well call it 'Dragon Force'."

"Oh? That’s not bad. 'Descendants of the Dragon'."

"Then what about Winnie?"

The discussion, which had been going smoothly, was suddenly interrupted by this out-of-place question, leaving everyone momentarily stunned.

Li Can was taken aback. As a Northeasterner who could never let a conversation fall flat, he instinctively replied:

"...Then we’ll call it 'Bear Force'."

Winnie’s expression stiffened. "That really wasn't necessary."

"Dragon Force feels a bit 'chuunibyou', but maybe not enough."

"True, it’s a bit too 'imperial', doesn’t suit us."

"If we’re going to do it, let’s go with 'Evil Force'."

"Hm? 'Evil Force'!?"

Hearing the name, everyone nodded in unison and began to discuss it.

"I think it works. I want that kind of aggressive vibe."

Li Can looked around and noticed that everyone was indeed interested in the name. It seemed his friends preferred playing the villain, which fit the band’s long-standing tendency to let loose in their rock performances.

"Then that’s it!" Li Can decided, suddenly acting up. "THIS! IS! POWER!"

Winnie chuckled, looking quite pleased. It was clear the name suited her taste.

"Perfect. We’ll call it 'DP'. 'D' can be 'Dark', 'Devil', or 'Demon'! It sounds like an evil organization just from the name."

"Exactly!" Li Can gave a thumbs up.

"And it could totally also stand for 'Diao' (a slang term for 'awesome' or 'badass')."

"?" X5

The room fell silent for a moment. But it was only a brief pause before the studio erupted into laughter.

"Hahaha! I think I like this name even more now!"

"Great, there’s that layer too. I love it!"

"DP it is! We’re going to be the big guns of the rock world!"

Once someone had started the pun, there was no stopping it. It was evident that Li Can’s influence on the team was truly profound.

...

Three days later, Chen Meijing’s solo album was finished, and the band had been successfully registered. Promotion work was naturally underway. As for the launch date, they would certainly stagger it from the first wave of *Xianxia Romance*’s promotion to maximize the value of the traffic.

On the fourth day, the production team of *Xianxia Romance* finally released their first trailer: *A Glimpse*.

As the trailer was about to be released, many fans who had been following the show began to grumble while they waited.

[This production team really knows how to keep us waiting!]
[Teasing us without delivering, is this even human!?]
[Can't wait! Can't wait!]

At the same time, many film and music critics sat before their computers, waiting for the trailer to drop, intending to post their pre-written reviews immediately to capture the first wave of hype.

Soon, the trailer went live. Backend data showed viewership rising steadily, and the comments section became increasingly active. The studio crew also set aside their work, gathering around to watch the market's reaction.

The quality of the trailer was exceptionally high. The visuals, effects, and music all exuded a sense of premium quality. Especially after the long period of anticipation, the curiosity that had built up was released in an instant. Since the work itself was excellent, it perfectly satisfied the long-awaiting audience.

The comments section was flooded with praise!

[Wow, the costumes and set design, you can tell they spent a fortune!]
[Finally, I don't have to look at fifty-cent special effects.]
[Wow, even though the trailer is super cryptic, why is it so addictive?]
[The song is so good! My god, are all these newcomers monsters!?]
[Look! Someone posted about the offline interactive event for 'Xianxia'. It seems like a musician is collaborating with the show to release a self-titled album?]
[Who is this? The guy is so tall and handsome, it’s a waste not to be an idol...]

"Oh~ the guy is so tall and handsome~" In the studio, Lin Feng couldn't help but tease Li Can excitedly.

"Heh, of course, I can't compare to those 'monster' newcomers."

"Hahahaha!"

The feedback was looking very positive, and everyone was in high spirits. After all, the creation of musical works is never the effort of just one person. With Li Can as the core, everyone had contributed significantly. Having such a harvest was a source of shared pride.

"Whoa, look at these view counts!"

Opening several music apps to find the simultaneously released theme song *A Glimpse*, everyone was stunned by the skyrocketing numbers.

"This one has 32,000 views!"
"What about that one? That one... 71,000!"
"This one is at 29,000!"
"It’s rising, it’s still rising, it won't stop! Every time I refresh, it jumps again. Good grief, this S-tier promotion, and this is just a small pre-heating phase!"

To expand their reach, the album wasn't signed as an exclusive, but was released across all platforms. While the promotion might be less concentrated, the coverage was broader. With the heat of the drama to assist, it was the best choice.

Sure enough, only four hours after the song went live, the total streams across all platforms had reached 780,000!
