"That's true, no wonder that old Wu partyed every night." Director Zhou was extremely jealous now, and no amount of drinking could soothe his resentment.
...
The next day, Xu Yanyu didn't sleep in; she got out of bed as soon as it was light.
Although she had agreed with Director Wu to choose the song for the next episode today, Xu Yanyu still needed to eat breakfast.
Just as she was enjoying her delicious breakfast, her phone rang again.
It was Gao Lichang.
Xu Yanyu was a little confused. Could it be that there was a problem with the song she posted on that small website?
As soon as she answered the phone, Gao Lichang's cheerful voice came from the other end.
"Yan Yu! You're famous! Do you know that? No, I'm famous too!" Gao Lichang had two dark circles under his eyes, just like those of a panda.
He stayed up all night; he was too excited to sleep.
He kept staring at Langbo, his thousands of music websites, and the U-Charts chart all night...
He's always so busy, how can he possibly get any sleep!
Xu Yanyu finished chewing and swallowing the bun in her mouth before saying, "What's there to be angry about? Haven't I always been quite popular?"
Gao Lichang, on the other end of the line, choked for a moment, then replied, "Oh dear, I misspoke! I meant to say that your video 'The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style' went viral! Did you know that?"
Last night, thousands of music websites crashed due to excessive visitors.
Those unexpected visitors are all there because of the songs you uploaded.
Gao Lichang's voice trembled slightly as he spoke.
He looked up and gently wiped his eyes.
At this moment, no amount of words could describe the emotion he felt.
Xu Yanyu paused in her hand holding the soy milk, then asked, "The server crashed, did it cause you any trouble?"
She didn't realize at the time that her song would cause the servers of Thousand Music to crash.
She remembered that in her past life, some game companies suffered significant losses when their servers crashed.
Upon realizing that Xu Yanyu had misunderstood him, Gao Lichang hurriedly explained, "How could you possibly cause us trouble! I'm so grateful to you. You know that?"
Because of our duet of "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style," my Weibo account gained ten times more followers than before!
Moreover, many record companies contacted me early this morning to collaborate, and some even wanted to help me release an album.
As Gao Lichang looked at the WeChat account on his computer screen, which was constantly receiving new messages, he felt as if he had been transported to another world.
Before yesterday, he had already prepared himself for the possibility of fading out of the entertainment industry.
Unexpectedly, in just 48 hours, his life underwent a dramatic change.
Xu Yanyu took a sip of soy milk and then said, "Brother Gao, I should thank you. If it weren't for your hard work yesterday, the recording of 'The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style' wouldn't have been so successful."
So none of this is entirely my credit; it's your singing talent that moved the audience.
Xu Yanyu's words were not just polite talk.
She has always believed that one must be strong oneself to succeed.
If Gao Lichang's singing skills weren't so good, and he didn't have any real talent, the audience wouldn't have been satisfied.
If an audience can get to know him through a song, it must be because they think he sings well and that they think his future is promising.
And those record companies aren't stupid either.
Singers like Gao Lichang rely on their talent; what they lack is a bit of popularity.
Now that we have the traffic, isn't it easier to work with Gao Lichang than with those traffic singers who rely entirely on auto-tuning?
Gao Lichang couldn't help but smile when he heard Xu Yanyu's words.
He continued, "Oh, right, I have some good news to tell you! This news is related to the U-list that you care about the most."
Xu Yanyu got up and got ready this morning, and hadn't had time to go online yet. Moreover, she didn't think she could make it onto the U-list today, so she wasn't in a hurry to check the list.
She asked curiously, "Could it be that my song has already made it onto the U Chart? Is it currently ranked around number ninety?"
The U-Chart displays 100 songs in real time, and the performance statistics mainly include listener clicks and paid subscriptions.
This also includes data from multiple platforms such as radio and music videos, but Xu Yanyu's songs were only uploaded as audio, so they cannot be included in other data for the time being.
Xu Yanyu is confident of making it onto the charts, firstly because the song "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style" is quite popular both at home and abroad; and secondly because she was fortunate enough to join the Douyin International platform, which is seizing market share across all channels overseas.
Even so, Xu Yanyu only dared to dream of breaking into the rankings within a week, and if things went well, she could start climbing the rankings by Friday.
The Chinese music scene has not been in sync with the international music scene.
Even if she's popular in China, nobody knows her abroad; she has to rely entirely on her talent to gain attention.
However, Xu Yanyu clearly underestimated herself and underestimated the financial strength of DouNiu Company.
Gao Lichang said happily, "Your song was already on the charts last night, and the trending topics list on Weibo is recording your chart status in real time."
It started when a musician posted a message on Weibo, and then your fans pushed the related content to the top of the trending topics list.
Now your fans care more about your chart rankings than you do.
When I called you just now, your song had already climbed to number 50. Your song climbs the charts very quickly after dawn.
Gao Lichang was overjoyed, as he was one of the original singers of "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend".
He felt that the biggest gain from participating in the "Singer 2024" program was getting to know Xu Yanyu.
It gave him a taste of what it's like to be carried.
He said even more excitedly, "The most dazzling ethnic style is very popular on Weibo, and many netizens have already bypassed the Great Firewall to help you to vote."
