Chapter 116 - Pretty Good Luck
Chen Ran scrolled through the rankings and found 'For the Rest of My Life' near the very end.
Taking a glance at the data, he was stunned; the comnts had actually reached over twenty thousand.
Since the first day of release, the comnts from Chen Yao's fans were only a little over two thousand, and the daily increase wasn't much either. It was impossible for it to increase by over twenty thousand in this short period of ti.
Chen Ran clicked in. The pinned comnt already had over twenty thousand likes: "Xiyun's Weibo sightseeing tour group, checking in!"
The comnts below were almost all from people who ca over from Weibo.
—Why is Xiyun promoting this song? Why? Why? Why?
—Here I co, here I co! The song recomnded by the goddess is indeed wonderful to listen to!
—When I get married, I definitely must have this song!
"......"
Chen Ran scrolled all the way down; they were all from Zhang Fanzhi's Weibo.
Praising the song as sounding good was one thing; more people were wondering what on earth their idol ant by promoting this song.
The singer was just a minor internet celebrity whose na they had never heard of, completely unrelated to Zhang Xiyun.
Chen Ran understood why Chen Yao was excited; these comnts were increasing way too fast.
In just this short while, he refreshed the page, and there were dozens more.
Zhang Fanzhi was quite popular right now, and combined with the fact that the song was free, fans couldn't help but leave a comnt after coming over to listen.
Chen Ran muttered, "This increase is a bit exaggerated. It might even charge into the top ten of the free chart..."
What Chen Ran didn't understand was why Zhang Fanzhi would promote 'For the Rest of My Life'.
This kind of impact wouldn't be considered a good thing for her, who just wanted to sing quietly, right?
Just as he was thinking this in his heart, his phone dinged.
It was a ssage sent from Zhang Fanzhi!
"Are you there?"
Seeing the ssage, even though they chatted frequently, Chen Ran couldn't stop his heart from skipping a beat. However, this eternally unchanging opening line made the corner of his mouth twitch uncontrollably.
"I'm listening to the song. You promoted Chen Yao's new song on Weibo, and the fans all ran over to support it. She is incredibly happy right now." After Chen Ran sent this, he asked again,
"How did you suddenly think of helping Chen Yao promote it on Weibo?"
Zhang Fanzhi replied, "I quite liked the lyrics, so I shared it."
Liked the lyrics?
Chen Ran blinked his eyes.
He recalled the misunderstanding caused by this song back then.
It was probably after that incident that Chen Ran's mindset when facing Zhang Fanzhi had undergone a change.
Now he definitely wouldn't be so slow-witted. Carefully savoring this sentence, he replied, "I also really like it."
……
In just one night's ti, 'For the Rest of My Life' soared a huge chunk on the free chart.
At first, it was just Zhang Fanzhi's fans, but later on, many wild music lovers also ca.
Just like Chen Ran had said, this song's lyrics were straightforward and the lody was catchy. If there was a favorable wind, it would spread extrely quickly.
There were already quite a few video creators turning the song into background music. It could be foreseen that this song would dominate screens for a period of ti in the future.
Chen Yao's earliest fans wailed in sorrow, "My treasure song has been discovered. Please, please don't get too popular."
"I hope it doesn't beco overplayed to death. So many songs I like have been ruined."
The fans didn't want the song to beco a massive hit, but their minor internet celebrity Yaoyao was so excited she couldn't sleep because the song suddenly got on the free chart.
She originally wanted to tell her parents, but she was worried they would ask about her singing. If it ended up involving her singing as a resident singer at a bar, it wouldn't be good.
Chen Yao held it in very painfully. In the end, she could only call and wake up the recently asleep Zhang Ruyi in the middle of the night.
"No, Yaoyao, no matter how excited you are, you have to look at what ti it is," Zhang Ruyi wailed.
"I had just fallen asleep, okay? Just fallen asleep!"
Chen Yao said, "I'm just a bit excited. Anyway, you have nothing to do at ho, you can sleep tomorrow. Accompany and chat for a bit right now. Why do you think your sister suddenly helped promote my song?"
Zhang Ruyi knew her roommate's temper. Now, having been interrupted like this, her sleepiness was completely gone.
She could only say in an annoyed tone, "Why else? You are her future sister-in-law, she's doing it to curry favor with you right now!"
Hearing Zhang Ruyi's words, Chen Yao wrinkled her nose. Was it really for this reason?
Actually, she wasn't too optimistic about Chen Ran and Zhang Xiyun.
One was a huge star who rarely ca ho, and the other worked at a TV station and frequently worked overti.
Could this kind of relationship last?
Even if they made it to marriage, it would probably be too difficult, right?
……
Chen Ran was in a very good mood today, and he rembered to bring a bottle of water for Lin Fan again.
The latter was baffled, thinking to himself: Could it be that Chen Ran went to the private kitchen to eat again?
For this kind of thing, thanking once is enough. Doing it again, are you intentionally poking at my heart for fun?
Not long after Chen Ran sat down, he was called over by Director Yang.
Chen Ran guessed that there should be a result for the program.
But this was a bit too fast, right? They should have waited for everyone to finish writing their programs and selected one from among them. To have a result right now, could it be that it didn't pass?
Chen Ran pondered slightly.
He arrived at the Director's office, greeted Director Yang, and asked, "Director, you were looking for because there's news about the program?"
Yang Qijun let Chen Ran sit down before saying, "Your luck is truly quite good; you can be considered to have caught it at a good ti!"
Chen Ran didn't understand Director Yang's aning. What did this have to do with luck?
Yang Qijun said, "You should know a bit about the satellite TV channel's reputation. Although the viewership ratings are not bad, there's also quite a bit of infamy..."
Chen Ran nodded. He naturally knew about this matter.
Yang Qijun added, "Now they want to change the status quo. They want viewership ratings, but they also want to improve their reputation, so they've started to heavily support original programs."
"This is where I say your luck is good. Originally, even though your program was submitted early, they would have had to at least wait for others to submit their programs for comparison before selecting one. But your program is purely original, a new category, and you are also last year's Best Planner of the Year. So after Director Ma of the satellite TV channel read it and held a few etings to discuss it, they decided to produce your program!"
Directly decided?
Chen Ran was taken aback, genuinely sowhat surprised.
He definitely had confidence in the program he had written. Just as he was coming over, he still felt he couldn't figure it out; the program shouldn't have been so bad that it would be killed this quickly.
But he never expected that it had actually passed directly!
It wasn't until Director Yang continued speaking that Chen Ran learned that because it was jointly recomnded by Director Yang and the tropolitan Channel's Director, the talk show program proposal didn't go to the satellite TV programming departnt, but was sent directly into the hands of Director Ma of the satellite TV channel.
If it had just been Director Yang alone, the program would definitely have been sent to the programming departnt first, to be reviewed by the director of the satellite TV programming departnt.
Policies from above are not necessarily executed imdiately by those below.
Furthermore, Chen Ran's program had risks. If placed in the programming departnt, it would definitely have had to wait a very long ti before finally being slowly discussed and selected.
With Director Ma looking at it personally, the result was entirely different.
Chen Ran listened carefully, feeling that sending out the 'True Feelings' program really hadn't been a wrong move.
No wonder Director Yang said he was lucky. Normally, it would still require competition, but now it was great; it was directly finalized.
The others...
Are probably feeling a bit uncomfortable, right?
After all, it was agreed to collect proposals with an opportunity to compete.
Now, it had just begun and it was already declared over. He didn't know what kind of mood they were in.
Yang Qijun smiled and said, "Now you've gotten your wish and are going to the satellite TV channel, but our channel is going to lose a talent."
Seeing Chen Ran looking slightly awkward, he shook his head and said,
"Go on, go discuss it with Director Liu first, and deliberate on the program's follow-up matters."
