"Old Fang, we're off work, let's go grab a bite!"
Watching "Ivory Mountain" climb steadily on the charts, Yan Ping was in a great mood and decided to treat himself to something delicious.
After calling him for a long time, Fang Tai didn't respond at all and remained squatting in front of the computer.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking so worried?"
Yan Ping turned around, fiddling with his phone, and went inside to take a look. It was still stuck on that screen. Old Fang was really going all out.
Wait, something's not right!
Yan Ping's eyes suddenly widened!
For no other reason than that the song "Blue Lotus" that Fang Tai had told him to pay attention to has now climbed to number 6.
No, wasn't it ranked 47th just a few hours ago?
Before Yan Ping could figure it out, Fang Tai refreshed the page again.
5th Place: The Blue Lotus!
This...this...
Yan Ping's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"What's with this chart-topping speed? Is it some pop star's new song?"
When Yan Ping called out to him, Fang Tai noticed that there was someone behind him. He turned around and gave a wry smile: "If it's a song by the Little King, I have nothing to say."
The problem is, this song is the work of Mr. Mask.
The masked man was a resident singer at the bar; he wasn't a singer from any particular company, nor did he have a specific level of fame.
Bei Chen hasn't really entered the music industry yet; whether he's a first-tier, second-tier, or even an eighteenth-tier singer is currently unclear.
Yet, despite being a bar singer with such a low profile, he had chart-topping potential comparable to "Ivory Mountain".
This is what is most surprising and shocking.
It's important to understand that Mr. Mask doesn't have as many resources as Era Entertainment.
That can only mean one thing: "Blue Lotus" is an absolutely great song and has been recognized by the market.
But no matter how good it was, it has now become Yan Ping's greatest enemy.
At this moment, Yan Ping had long since lost the desire to have a proper meal.
If the two of them could discover the power of this song, other entertainment companies would naturally take notice as well.
Zero Point Entertainment!
"This is the singer-songwriter Mr. Mask, whom Chen Wei reported. How could you not even bother to track him down?" Music Director Chen Yuzhong was almost furious.
Chen Wei said more than once that this Masked Man was a rare talent, but the group of people in front of him remained unmoved even if they knew it.
They thought Chen Wei was making a fuss over nothing; how many of the newcomers were truly talented?
Most of them are just artists promoted by capital. Instead of signing such people, you might as well go to an old producer and ask for more songs.
"Now it's too late, when 'Blue Lotus' started to explode."
While others weren't fully famous, Zero Point Entertainment still had a chance.
Once he becomes famous, even larger companies than us will come knocking on his door.
Do you think we'd still have a chance at that time?
Chen Yuzhong was so angry that he wanted to put his phone in his hand and smash it with a brick.
It's not just Zero Point Entertainment; more and more entertainment companies are taking notice of them and are all getting restless...
...
9 PM!
Fang Tai and Yan Ping were still at the company and hadn't left. They ordered some food, but found they couldn't eat anything.
It's all from worry!
"Old Fang, refresh it again!" Yan Ping's voice trembled slightly.
"Blue Lotus" has now caught up with "Nevada" and reached number 3 on the new song chart.
The most frightening thing is that "Nevada" did not drop to 5th place, but remained firmly in 4th place.
Fang Tai's hands were trembling, and he clicked the mouse several times but failed.
"Second...second place!" As expected of a singer, Yan Ping's voice even vibrato came through.
It's only 200,000 views away from catching up with "Ivory Mountain".
Even if it's a cover song by an internet celebrity arranged by Fang Tai, it still needs time to gain traction and can't produce results so quickly.
What can stop this song's rapid rise to fame?
After thinking for a long time, the two sadly realized that they were truly powerless to stop it.
Will it surpass "Ivory Mountain" in the next update?
For the first time, Yan Ping experienced what it meant to be restless.
We've invested millions; are we really going to end up with nothing?
"Old Fang, refresh!" Even in death, I want to die with my eyes open at peace.
Number 1: The Blue Lotus!

2nd Place: Ivory Mountain!
Popularity index: 91.2.
"Hehe, hehehe, beautiful, beautiful, this time it's absolutely beautiful..." Yan Ping's forced smile looked somewhat terrifying.
Fang Tai could tell at a glance that the child had been severely affected.
He patted Yan Ping on the shoulder and said earnestly, "There's still a chance. Our backup plan hasn't even started yet!"
It seemed like she was comforting Yan Ping, but it also seemed like she was comforting herself.
"Is there really... still a chance?" Yan Ping's voice was somewhat mechanical.
"Really!" After saying that, Fang Tai took out a cigarette and a lighter and walked towards the balcony.
A breeze can make you more alert.
"Hey Lao Fang, can I have one too?"
Upon hearing Yan Ping's words, Fang Tai froze on the spot. "Didn't you never smoke?"
Smoking damages the throat, so singers generally don't smoke.
Yan Ping waved his hand, "It's nothing, just one, no big deal!"
Fang Tai hesitated for a moment, but finally handed one over.
Anyone would find this unbearable; let him vent!
"Cough cough... This smoke is so pungent!" Yan Ping, who had never smoked before, almost choked to tears.
"If you haven't smoked before, just spit it out. Don't swallow it like I did!" Fang Tai flicked his cigarette ash and squinted at the night sky over the capital city.
