Chapter 82 - You Go Out First, Let Think
Zhang Fanzhi's new song was released. Without Starry Sky's help to build montum, she rely posted a simple ssage on Weibo.
Even though she participated in a few programs, none of them were popular ones. The popularity was very low, and her overall online popularity was completely no match for Lin Hanyun.
However, the sales volu was indeed continuously increasing, and at a very fast speed.
Going on like this, without a doubt, it would definitely surpass Lin Hanyun.
Starry Sky company didn't pay attention to Zhang Fanzhi's song. Usually, after buying a song, they would study the quality of the song and formulate a promotional direction.
But Zhang Fanzhi's new song didn't receive this kind of treatnt. It was treated completely like a neglected stepchild; they never even thought about promoting it in the first place.
The song ca from an unknown musician, so Starry Sky didn't care and paid no attention to it.
Now, however, they were tasting the bitter fruit.
The lyrics of 'The Initial Dream' were inspirational, the lody was fresh, and Zhang Fanzhi's singing voice was highly emotional, resonating with people.
Many people who watch variety shows are not old, mostly still students. This kind of inspirational song is very popular on campuses, not to ntion it sounded so good; they fell in love with it as soon as they heard it.
Searching, purchasing, downloading—for the vast majority, it was just this simple. The paynt rate was incredibly high.
After Starry Sky made their move, Lin Hanyun's new song indeed saw an effect, rising up another rank.
But the speed of Zhang Fanzhi's song wasn't slow either; it had already reached twelfth place. At this rate, sooner or later it would be able to enter the top ten of the new song chart.
The people at Starry Sky were still wondering whether to add more promotion, but by this ti, it was already Friday.
At this ti, it happened to be the premiere of a new drama on Mango Satellite TV.
The na of this TV drama...
was called 'Flying Against the Wind'.
As an inspirational idol drama, the TV drama had cast all high-traffic young actors.
Before the broadcast, the montum-building was overwhelming, with fans of the various stars vigorously recomnding it everywhere on Weibo.
It completely had the posture of being a hit before it even aired.
The TV drama was inspirational with romance. After it started broadcasting, it attracted the eyes of many young viewers. With just the broadcast of the first episode, it drew a huge amount of attention.
The first thing to beco popular wasn't a certain newcor or new character inside it.
But rather, the the song!
"This the song sounds incredibly good, doesn't it!"
"It's actually sung by Zhang Xiyun. Since when did she sing a song like this?"
"It's Zhang Xiyun's new song, just released a few days ago. I thought it sounded good at the ti, but I didn't expect it to actually be the the song for 'Flying Against the Wind'."
"The lyrics are written really well..."
As a TV drama that had received much attention since its warm-up phase, the popularity, topic heat, and viewership ratings of 'Flying Against the Wind' were all very high.
In a short period of ti, Zhang Xiyun's 'The Initial Dream' was brought up frequently.
Then, when the TV drama ended, these TV drama viewers all ran off to buy the single.
At this ti, Starry Sky was still looking at the data and hesitating about whether or not to continue promoting.
The company had invested a lot of money into Lin Hanyun's new song, but the fa and revenue it brought to Lin Hanyun weren't that great; if they continued to invest, they would definitely lose money.
And at this mont, the people at Starry Sky refreshed the new song chart and were suddenly startled.
"How could it be like this? The data must be wrong, right?!"
"Jumping so many ranks directly, this is impossible!"
Voices of surprise ca one after another. It turned out that during the ti they were discussing, Zhang Fanzhi's new song 'The Initial Dream' had actually done a quadruple jump, jumping straight from twelfth place to eighth place!
This kind of surge was indeed too shocking!
"Could it be that Tao Lin found soone to artificially inflate the data? How dare she do this? If she gets caught by Huaxia Music, our Starry Sky will be implicated too!"
The manager of Starry Sky frowned and said, "Go check it quickly. If you find any evidence, imdiately hand it over to Huaxia Music and clear our relationship first."
After entering the internet era, everyone relied on the Huaxia Music platform to make a living.
This is a state-owned platform, and it shows no rcy towards artificially inflating data. If Starry Sky were implicated, even its affiliated artists would be dragged down.
The subordinate was just about to go check when his phone dinged. He took it out, took one glance, and hurriedly ran back over.
The manager asked, "Didn't I tell you to go check? What else is there?"
"Manager, there's no need to check. Zhang Xiyun's new song didn't inflate its data!"
"What do you an?"
"The heat on the internet has gone sky-high right now. Look at this news: Zhang Xiyun sings for 'Flying Against the Wind', the the song 'The Initial Dream' is inspirational and stunning!"
The manager's eyes widened abruptly. "What? Zhang Xiyun sang the the song for 'Flying Against the Wind'? When did this happen?"
"I don't know either, but the the song of 'Flying Against the Wind' is indeed her new song."
"I rember now." Hearing this, the manager also recalled sothing.
Back then, Tao Lin had co to him saying Zhang Xiyun's new song needed so kind of authorization.
At that ti, he wasn't afraid Zhang Xiyun could stir up any waves, so he approved it without a second thought.
But now, the other party wasn't just so waves at all; it was a tsunami!
With 'Flying Against the Wind' having such high popularity, being its the song was naturally the best promotion. As long as the quality of Zhang Fanzhi's song wasn't too bad, it would directly take off.
Right in the middle of their conversation, Zhang Fanzhi's new song advanced another rank, reaching the seventh position.
And the song behind it, which had just been squeezed down by Lin Hanyun's new song, also climbed up, directly kicking Lin Hanyun out of the new song chart's top ten.
The manager: "..."
"Manager, what do we do now? Continue to increase the promotional efforts to get Lin Hanyun into the top ten?"
"What's there to promote now? Even if we promote it more, can it surpass Zhang Xiyun? Is entering the top ten of any use? Can our promotion compare to 'Flying Against the Wind'?!" The manager furrowed his brows deeply, waving his hand. "Go out, you go out first, let think."
Lin Hanyun received the news that the company did not plan to continue investing in promoting her song. She still wanted to ask sothing, but Zhao Heting stopped her.
Lin Hanyun asked in confusion, "Brother Ting, why are you stopping ?"
Zhao Heting took out his phone, clicked open the new song chart, and placed it right in front of her eyes. "Look for yourself."
Lin Hanyun took one look and was instantly stunned.
With such a huge gap, the company would have to be stupid to continue pushing it, right?!
……
The sales volu of Zhang Fanzhi's new song surged, leaping up the new song chart.
The ones feeling uncomfortable were not just Lin Hanyun and Starry Sky, but also Lin Hanyun's fans on Weibo.
A few days ago, when Zhang Fanzhi's new song was released without promotion, a group of fans ca over to vigorously mock her poor results.
Zhang Fanzhi had ignored these Weibo comnts the entire ti, allowing the anti-fans to like them all and push them to the top, even restraining her own fans from confronting these people.
Waiting until today when 'Flying Against the Wind' was broadcast, the ranking of 'The Initial Dream' skyrocketed.
Not to ntion instantly surpassing Lin Hanyun, but based on this montum, it was highly likely to suppress the several veteran singers ahead of it and reach the top three positions.
As a result, those people who ca over to mock her a while ago were now in a miserable state.
Under every mocking comnt, there were hundreds or thousands of replies, all from Zhang Fanzhi's fans. Every single one spoke with the utmost sarcasm, and there were even many fierce and ruthless words.
Everyone finally understood: Zhang Fanzhi didn't delete these comnts not because she had been scolded silly, but because she was keeping them to flog their corpses!
Beneath her Weibo post, it truly beca a large-scale corpse-flogging scene!
