"Of course, it's for your [popularity points] and [faith points], as well as the charity funding missions..."

Sitting at his desk in his dormitory at Tsinghua University, Wang Yueheng scrolled through the popular comments on the forum while muttering to himself.

After various exchanges and constant performances to replenish the supplies.

At this point, the [Popularity Value] score on the system interface has returned to nine digits, reaching over 170 million points.

Although it's still far from his actual net worth of nearly 10 billion.

But even in the system's online store, he's considered a middle-class individual.

At least the items available here are special products with unique attributes that don't exist in reality.

If it were someone like Zhu Zhiheng, who is worth hundreds of billions in real life...

Don't even think about buying an item worth 100 popularity points from Wang Yueheng's system shop.

The newly activated [Faith Value] has already reached 1.03 million and is still rapidly increasing.

The mysterious countdown has changed to: 112 days, 1 hour and 59 minutes.

In other words...

It's been less than 24 hours since the new side quest "Soaring Dragon" was launched yesterday.

They distributed over a million faith points, an astonishingly efficient process.

certainly.

Wang Yueheng was well aware of this as well.

There's also a large element of luck involved.

If it weren't for President Barr's visit to Tsinghua University today, and the fact that he brought along a CCTV news reporter, which unexpectedly landed him on the "News Broadcast," he would have been in trouble.

It's impossible for me to gain such a high level of faith in such a short time.

However, this also served as a reminder to Wang Yueheng.

In the future, my performance stage can no longer be limited to a few provincial satellite TV channels or small-scale entertainment live broadcasts.

We must try our best to align ourselves with the largest platform, CCTV!

Ideally, one should become like Sa Ning, someone who appears in front of the national audience every day.

Or they continuously appear on national media platforms in other countries around the world.

Then we will continue to produce some well-known works.

Maybe the task of distributing 1 billion faith points to the system can be completed in less than 100 days!

Thinking about this...

Wang Yueheng immediately picked up his phone, typed a message, and sent it to Mo Zixue.

Tell the girl what you're thinking.

Ask the other party to help me get more gigs on CCTV in the future.

Although such opportunities are rare, it is still necessary to try to seize them.

Mo Zixue, who was promoting her new album "Twilight Echoes" with her studio, quickly responded with an "OK" gesture.

"It's a pity that the charity mission requires donations from future paid works, otherwise this would have filled the progress bar instantly..."

After putting down his phone, Wang Yueheng stared at the progress value of the system task to raise 1 billion yuan for charity, which was still at "0", and sighed with a little regret.

Fortunately, several film and television works that I was the main creator or co-creator of are about to be completed and released.

Goodbye Mr. Loser, Lost on Journey, Secret, A Chinese Odyssey...

According to the system's task classification, these theatrical films also fall under the category of paid works.

I believe that each film will bring me considerable profits.

Compared to accumulating [Popularity Value] and [Faith Value], which are beyond one's control, there are tasks that require it.

In Wang Yueheng's view, making money is actually the simplest requirement at present.

Moreover, he had made up his mind.

Once his charitable foundation is officially established.

The next physical album won't be this cheap again.

The digital and physical albums will be released simultaneously.

The digital version earns money from ordinary fans and generates popularity and loyalty points.

The physical copies are used to earn money from wealthy fans and complete system charity tasks.

...

Besides the large number of fans or passersby.

Tonight, many professional singers are also keeping a close eye on the sales of Wang Yueheng's new album.

Although Wang Yueheng has released many catchy and classic songs that have become popular across the internet.

However, without substantial paid album sales to back them up, they can essentially only be called online singers.

Prior to this.

There are also many singers like Wang Yueheng who became popular online by releasing new songs for free.

He's incredibly popular online, has millions of followers on Weibo, and travels everywhere to participate in variety shows and make money.

Once his solo album is officially released...

The meager sales figures are like a merciless mirror.

These singers were brutally exposed, leaving them extremely embarrassed and humiliated in front of the public, becoming a laughing stock in the entertainment industry.

Those fans who kept calling their idol "brother" and saying they wanted to support their idol's album to chart also scattered in all directions.

It couldn't even make a ripple.

Many online singers, like shooting stars, have vanished from the entertainment or music scene in an instant.

Yang Chenggang, a singer who is now over forty years old, is one of them.

Twenty years ago, he became an internet sensation with his song "The Mouse Loves the Cat," becoming an idol in the eyes of a generation of young people.

He earned over 100 million yuan from the copyright fees of just this one song and won numerous awards.

They're getting all sorts of top-tier announcements and gigs.

Since then.

In order to further expand his popularity, Yang Chenggang, like Wang Yueheng now, has successively released several new songs for free.

It also received an outstanding response, ranking among the top in both listening and download numbers every week.

Inspired by the company and fans.

Ambitious Yang Chenggang then released his debut album, "Yang Loves the Wolf".

However, on the day of the album's release.

The pre-orders of "up to" 3,000 copies caused singer Yang Chenggang and company executives to plummet from their initial enthusiasm.

They mistakenly believed that the publicity and promotion efforts were insufficient.

He and his company jointly spent a huge sum of money on marketing and promotion.

The album's final sales figure was 45,000 copies.

Let alone the gold record threshold of 300,000 sales.

It didn't even reach the sales level of the next tier, "Silver Records," which sold 100,000 copies.

Unwilling to give up, Yang Chenggang continued to release his second album, "Dragon Flying".

As a result, this album almost didn't even reach 10,000 copies sold.

They barely managed to maintain five-figure sales by constantly mobilizing friends in the industry or companies they endorsed to make purchases.

Yang Chenggang, who boasted 100 million followers across the internet and whose momentum far surpassed that of Wang Yueheng, has become a laughing stock in China's entertainment industry.

After two consecutive albums failed to be released.

Singer Yang Chenggang has gradually faded from public view, with only his song "The Mouse Loves the Cat" occasionally being mentioned by nostalgic fans...

At this moment, they watched Wang Yueheng's every move.

Yang Chenggang felt as if he were seeing himself more than ten years ago, so full of vigor and unparalleled in his success.

"I hope you won't suffer the same tragic end as me..."

Sitting at home in Kyoto, Yang Chenggang stared at the album sales page that had not yet been opened, thinking silently to himself.

At this moment, the screen displays a countdown to the start of pre-sale sales, with a blue electronic stopwatch flashing continuously.

It was 8:30.

The number of pre-orders for Wang Yueheng's first album will be officially announced and displayed on the event page.

Yang Chenggang, who also greatly admired the young singer's work, suddenly felt a little nervous.

If Wang Yueheng's new album sales are the same as his own back then.

It doesn't even reach the sales level of a "gold record" or "silver record".

This talented man's popularity and reputation will inevitably suffer a severe blow.

Perhaps they'll never recover and end up on the same path of decline as I have...
