Chapter 79 - What Are You Laughing At?
The two songs went online at the sa ti. Now that over ten hours had passed, the data had a twofold difference.
This was just the number of comnts; looking at the sales volu, there was a two-thirds difference. Zhang Fanzhi only had over twenty thousand. Her fans were relatively active, so there were relatively more comnts.
A single cost three yuan, and Chen Ran also contributed one unit of sales.
Because of the website's settings, regular users could only listen to the chorus, while VIP users could listen to the full song. If you wanted to download it, listen to high-quality music, or comnt, you had to pay to buy it.
Chen Ran clicked open the song and entered the comnt section. The top hot comnts were all positive reviews.
—Xiyun has finally released a song, and the quality is so good. This long ti of waiting was not in vain...
—Here it cos, here it cos!
—Brothers and sisters, line up over here ->
—No matter how difficult it is right now, we must forge ahead and not forget our original intentions.
"......"
Aside from these comnts, there were also many short anecdotes.
So were genuine expressions of feeling, while others were from the copy-and-paste brigade.
No matter what, these inspirational anecdotes were quite touching, especially under such an inspirational song.
Chen Ran wasn't surprised by the positive reviews; after all, one had to buy the song to comnt, and those who ca to comnt imdiately were definitely true fans.
Thinking about it carefully, Zhang Fanzhi had said the company wasn't responsible for promoting the song, and the few programs she was running to also had a two-day scheduling gap right now.
The people listening to the song at this ti had all co running over from Zhang Fanzhi's Weibo.
Chen Ran still felt it was a bit miserable.
Moreover, there were actually Lin Hanyun's fans in the song's comnts, who spent money to buy the song just to co over and comnt.
Of course, it wasn't to leave positive reviews, but to launch a barrage of wild flaming.
It was roughly just fans badmouthing each other; Zhang Fanzhi's fans had previously badmouthed Lin Hanyun for stealing the song.
Now, Lin Hanyun's fans were coming over to mock the results.
Chen Ran exited the music app, browsed the web, and saw so news about Zhang Fanzhi and Lin Hanyun's new songs being released simultaneously.
Nowadays, with the abundance of self-dia, there were people writing news about anyone.
Although Zhang Fanzhi's popularity couldn't be considered top-tier right now, her traffic was not small, so she was also targeted by self-dia.
The news mostly focused on introducing Zhang Fanzhi and Lin Hanyun, then depicted Zhang Fanzhi's situation, as well as speculating on the two releasing their songs at the sa ti.
Basically, their guesses were pretty close. Generally, they felt that the two releasing songs simultaneously was primarily to fight for the company's future resources; whoever won would be pushed by the company.
[As of the ti of this editor's publication, the data gap between Zhang Xiyun and Lin Hanyun's new songs is massive. Out of curiosity, this editor searched online and unexpectedly found that Zhang Xiyun's new song had absolutely no promotion, rely a single ntion on Weibo. On the other hand, Lin Hanyun's new song secured the front page for new releases on Huaxia Music, received a new song pop-up window, and had advance pre-orders. In this editor's humble opinion, with the company's resources tilted this heavily, this battle is already over before it even began…]
Seeing this news, Chen Ran thought that self-dia wasn't all just making things up blindly; at the very least, they saw things quite thoroughly.
As for the rest, there were so digging up Zhang Fanzhi's sar articles, saying the conflict with Lin Hanyun was because she acted like a diva at the company, which was why she was abandoned by the company, and so on.
Chen Ran naturally skipped over them without reading.
Chen Ran thought for a mont and still gave Zhang Fanzhi a call.
"You're not busy?" Zhang Fanzhi asked out of the blue after picking up.
"The program finished recording, I'm resting right now." Chen Ran wasn't surprised either; he considered himself to have a pretty good understanding of Zhang Fanzhi's personality.
"I just checked your new song and found the data is quite good!"
Zhang Fanzhi said, "Are you intentionally trying to make laugh?"
She knew best what her data was like. After more than ten hours, it was still in the thirties on the new song chart. Given her fa, this was extrely unwarranted.
If this data was considered good, then nothing could be considered bad!
However, Chen Ran said, "I'm being serious. To be able to reach this step without any promotion is already very good!"
"I'm in a very good mood. You don't need to comfort ," Zhang Fanzhi said.
Chen Ran was slightly speechless. Your tone is stiff as a board, clearly unhappy, yet you still say you're in a good mood.
Zhang Fanzhi waited for a long ti, but Chen Ran didn't speak. She furrowed her brows slightly and said:
"My mood is a tiny bit bad, but it's not because of the song's results."
Although the song's sales volu wasn't high right now—only a third of Lin Hanyun's—she believed the song would definitely beco a hit.
Lin Hanyun's promotion was very strong, having built up hype a few days in advance, and the company spent money to buy her many recomndation spots.
Yet her twenty-four-hour data was just so-so; compared to her last song, there wasn't much progress.
Zhang Fanzhi's song had nothing, relying entirely on die-hard fans to prop it up, yet she still had a third of the other party's data. Once her promotion caught up in a couple of days, she naturally wouldn't fear Lin Hanyun.
Her bad mood was primarily due to the company.
Hearing her deliberately emphasize this again, Chen Ran probably imagined her keeping a straight face while explaining it to him, and the corners of his mouth curved into a smile for so inexplicable reason.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Fanzhi asked.
"No, no, I'm not laughing." Chen Ran hurriedly restrained his smile.
"I heard it!" Zhang Fanzhi said calmly.
Chen Ran couldn't laugh anymore. Was she born in the Year of the Dog? She could even hear that!
He hurriedly changed the subject and asked, "What day does 'Flying Against the Wind' start broadcasting?"
"Go see for yourself." Zhang Fanzhi's tone was stiff, clearly unhappy.
"I was just thinking, your company really doesn't value you right now, and they are vigorously pushing Lin Hanyun. If your data surges when 'Flying Against the Wind' broadcasts, I don't know what kind of expressions they'll have." Chen Ran smiled and said,
"I reckon it will be a sight to behold."
Regarding signing the the song for 'Flying Against the Wind', Tao Lin deliberately kept Starry Sky in the dark, fearing the company would throw a wrench in the works.
Now the die was cast, and Starry Sky was sparing no effort in promoting Lin Hanyun, fundantally disregarding Zhang Fanzhi. When Zhang Fanzhi suddenly broke out, it was estimated that many people would be dumbfounded.
Zhang Fanzhi's mood had originally been sowhat poor, but after Chen Ran said this, she inexplicably felt a bit more comfortable.
"'Flying Against the Wind' broadcasts its first episode next Friday." Zhang Fanzhi decided not to bicker with Chen Ran.
……
Hanging up the phone, Zhang Fanzhi felt her mood had improved significantly.
The company used Lin Hanyun to suppress her, wanting to make her obedient. When the song's data ca out, they were open and honest: as long as she was obedient in the future, they would imdiately unleash the promotion.
They even guaranteed it would definitely enter the top five of the new song chart, and if the results were good then, they could help maneuver it to the top spot!
Zhang Fanzhi disliked this kind of threat and naturally refused without hesitation.
Since the company had stated their position like this, and Zhang Fanzhi wouldn't cooperate, they wouldn't give her any face either.
The Starry Sky company had also seen those sar articles on the internet, but the public relations departnt made no response.
Tao Lin used her own connections to suppress so of them, but compared to the company, she fell far short.
This kind of approach chilled not only Zhang Fanzhi's heart but even Tao Lin's.
Tao Lin even suggested to Zhang Fanzhi that after this matter with the new song was over, she should try contacting people from other companies.
This was the first ti Tao Lin had ever made such a suggestion to Zhang Fanzhi…
