Sunrise and sunset, and before we knew it, it was December 1st, the day of the battle of the gods in the music world.
Fang Yang felt something was off as soon as he arrived at work. Usually, the girls would be laughing and joking around, but today the dawn was quiet, and even the air was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
He glanced at Yang Huajin's room next door; the door was also tightly closed, and the room was pitch black, so it seemed no one was home. "Strange, things are a bit odd today. Did they all go to the technical room?"
Today is the release date of Zheng Xiuli's album. It seems that it went on sale at 8:00 AM, and the digital album was also released at the same time. Yesterday, Zhong Zhifeng said that two million film albums were printed as a trial run. It's 9:00 AM now, so there should be some preliminary results by now, right?
"I wonder how the sales are going?" Fang Yang brewed a pot of tea. It was still early, and there was no way to see the results. Fang Yang was too lazy to go and join the fun. "Ghost Blows Out the Light" had already been updated to the fourth book. Now, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" had stirred up a heated discussion on the Internet and even alarmed many official archaeological departments.
As a tomb raiding novel, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was initially just a novel to readers. Although the beginning was a bit scary, once you read on and followed the tomb raiding route step by step, it made people feel more and more that everything was real. As a result, some people on the Internet questioned whether Fang Yang might be from a tomb raiding family, and whether what was said in the novel might have actually happened. Otherwise, how could it make people feel like they were there?
After the comments section exploded, some netizens who had nothing better to do than rich second-generation heirs, who hadn't received a response from Fang Yang, organized a group of people to claim they were digging for treasure by following the footsteps of "Ghost Blows Out the Light." They even started a live stream, and after the rich second-generation heirs spent money to buy recommendations, the live stream's traffic really did increase. In the past few days, it has become a major event on the live streaming website, with millions of netizens regularly watching the live stream.
After the incident escalated, the book "Ghost Blows Out the Light" became a hot topic across the internet, bringing massive traffic to Yuewen Entertainment Media website. Just last night, Fang Yang glanced at it and saw that the number of readers had reached over 100 million, which surprised Fang Yang. He didn't expect that a boring live stream would produce such an effect!
Fang Yang just wanted to spit a sneer at the treasure-hunting team organized by the rich second generation. With hundreds of years of historical changes and changes in terrain, even if there are ancient tombs underground, it's not something this treasure-hunting team could find by just holding a few Luoyang shovels and referring to a few sentences in a book.
If one could learn the art of Feng Shui, which has been practiced in China for thousands of years, by simply reading a few books, then that person must be mentally ill. Anyone with common sense knows that the art is not easily passed on to others, and this has been the case since ancient times. Otherwise, how could so many intangible cultural heritages have been lost in the long river of time?
What's even funnier is that the rich kid was accompanied by someone who was supposedly a feng shui master. He was holding a compass and pointing here and there, directing a group of people to dig with Luoyang shovels. For some reason, the viewers in the live stream were watching with great interest and discussing it.
Fang Yang didn't know why the relevant departments didn't stop it. Perhaps they were also watching with a "let's see what happens" mentality. What if they dug something up? Then Fang Yang's book would have more depth to explore. As for the ancient tomb dug up by the rich second generation, as long as they didn't damage anything inside, once they discovered even the slightest sign, someone would come to stop them. As for the consequences, that was a follow-up issue, and the relevant departments would handle it.
Fang Yang only watched it for a short while yesterday and then stopped paying attention. However, he hadn't expected that the live stream would bring tens of millions of collections to "Ghost Blows Out the Light". This live stream really brought Fang Yang a huge amount of traffic, which was a pleasant surprise.
As for the online trolls who keep attacking Fang Yang in his live stream, saying that the rich kid is just putting on a show to drive traffic to Fang Yang's "Ghost Blows Out the Light," and even claiming that it's all Fang Yang's behind-the-scenes manipulation, Fang Yang ignores them all. If you're so capable, come and shout it out on Yuewen Entertainment Media website. The readers will teach you a lesson in no time. You'll even have to spend a little money to become a member to have the right to shout. In the end, you'll only end up losing both money and face and running away in embarrassment. You're really giving me too much credit.
It wasn't until after 10 o'clock that the outside became bustling and lively. The whole building seemed to come alive again. Yang Huajin and Chen Chen pushed open the door and came in, followed by Zhong Zhifeng and Zheng Xiuli. They looked happy and cheerful, so the result should be pretty good.
"Xiao Yang, it's such a pity you didn't go today, the scene was amazing."
As soon as he entered, Chen Chen started shouting, looking like Fang Yang had suffered a huge loss. Fang Yang stopped writing, saved the draft, and then smiled and said, "Oh, then tell me, how exciting is it?"
Chen Chen didn't say anything. He took Fang Yang's teapot and went to the tea table. He poured the last bit of tea into a cup, then boiled water again to make tea. When he saw Fang Yang follow him over, he said, "This morning was really exciting. Didn't you see how smug Qingcheng Film and Television looked at the beginning? Tsk tsk."
Seeing Chen Chen hanging there, Fang Yang wished he could kick him to death. Where did he learn this habit of keeping people in suspense? He invited Yang Huajin, Zhong Zhifeng, and Zheng Xiuli to sit down. Just then, the water boiled, and he poured a cup of tea for each of them before saying, "You've been talking for so long, but you can't even express your meaning. Why don't we let Minister Zhong speak?"
Chen Chen stopped him, saying, "No, no, let me explain. This morning, Zheng Xiuli and Cang Mingyue's albums were released at the same time at eight o'clock, so the two of them can have a one-on-one showdown."
Fang Yang asked curiously, "Only the two of them are releasing albums today? Isn't December the month of the War of the Gods? Aren't all the top singers and queens releasing albums?"
Zhong Zhifeng laughed and said, "December is indeed the month of the War of the Gods, but usually singles are released. They released their songs at midnight last night. Only Zheng Xiuli and Cang Mingyue released albums, so it won't be officially started until the bookstores open in the morning."
Fang Yang nodded, "So the digital album will also be released at eight o'clock?"
"Yes, they all start at eight o'clock."
Fang Yang nodded. There was this connection involved, but it was good. He wouldn't have to work overtime at night, and he wouldn't have to bother the delivery driver.
Chen Chen then chimed in, "At first, Cang Mingyue sold 100,000 film albums in just one hour thanks to her huge fan base, while Zheng Xiuli only sold 20,000. Didn't you see that Qingcheng Films celebrated wildly on their website? But that's nothing. What's most infuriating is that they openly put down Zheng Xiuli, mocking her for not knowing her own limitations and daring to compete with their rival."
Speaking of this, Chen Chen is still indignant, clearly furious at the shady dealings of Qingcheng Film and Television.
Fang Yang recalled the solemn atmosphere in the entire building when he first started working there, which was probably influenced by Zheng Xiuli's initial performance. He couldn't help but chuckle. He hadn't expected these young girls to be so united and concerned about their artist's achievements.
