It's graduation season again.
During this period, there is always an unavoidable topic: the students who are about to leave school.
With the college entrance examination over, the pressure accumulated over three years was finally released.
Some are about to enter the workforce and are curious and confused about their employment prospects.
But more than anything, there was a sense of reluctance to part ways and pursue our own futures.
The vast campus, devoid of its usual hustle and bustle, was filled with inexplicable and complex emotions.
Graduates have become the most vibrant group of people this summer, and they will all leave their own stories on their respective stages.
This is a hot topic of the year, and with enough buzz, how could major entertainment companies, which are adept at grasping market trends, miss out?
Major music streaming platforms prepared well in advance, all displaying eye-catching promotional banners with a single theme.
Graduation season!
Today is the last day of June. After midnight, the rankings of songs on various music charts will be reset.
The new song rankings will be recalculated after midnight. If you can seize the opportunity and carve out a path to success, you'll be laughing in your sleep.
Therefore, this day of the month is destined to be the busiest time for major entertainment companies.
A storm is brewing!
"I'm Zhou Chen, welcome to listen to my new song 'Youthful Days' at midnight sharp."
Zhou Chen just posted a Weibo update, and many comments and reposts appeared below.
"Go Chenchen!"
Wow, I can't wait!
"A new song for graduation season? It's only 8 o'clock, this is so agonizing."
"Many of the singers I follow say they're releasing new songs at midnight. Did they all plan this together?"
"Is that a village internet cafe upstairs? Don't you know what graduation season is? Want me, the expert, to give you a little lesson?"
…
This scene is just a microcosm of Weibo.
Nowadays, major entertainment companies are secretly pushing the issue, trying to make their artists the talk of the town, in order to grab a piece of the graduation season pie after midnight.
Han Jiayu also posted a Weibo to promote his new song. Only a few long-time fans cheered him on, replying that they would definitely be in front of their computers to listen to his new song as soon as it was released.
Of course, since she was an artist under his own company, Zhou Rongze, despite not planning to invest resources in promotion, still instructed the operations team to symbolically retweet Han Jiayu's Weibo post using the company account.
However, the effect was minimal, with very few replies, likes, and shares.
"Brother Qing, thank you so much this time."
Seeing that Yang Qing had retweeted his Weibo post, and that Yang Qing's fans were liking and reposting it, Zhou Chen smiled so hard his eyes narrowed into slits: "Brother Qing, are you really not planning to try to climb the charts this time? Boss Xu has been telling us a lot that you'll soon be promoted to the second tier."
"Don't even mention it, it makes me angry," Yang Qing said irritably.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Chen took a bottle of beer from the freezer and gave it to Yang Qing.
"I auditioned a new song yesterday, and it was absolutely divine. I went to see Lao Xu right away, thinking I could get the song. But guess what happened next? Someone else snatched it away."
Yang Qing swallowed a mouthful of beer, his face full of resentment.
"Who's so bold as to snatch the cake from Brother Qing? Could it be Li Mubai?"
"It wasn't him."
"Lin Yueyin?"
"Damn! This song is only suitable for guys with penises to sing."
Zhou Chen was even more surprised.
In his mind, apart from Li Mubai and Lin Yueyin, no one else was qualified to steal Yang Qing's thunder.
"Could it be Xie Xiaofeng?"
"Stop guessing. The fourth group, what's their name again... Let me think... I think it's Han Jiayu."
Yang Qing took another swig of beer, getting angrier the more he talked.
Han Jiayu, who is this?
Zhou Chen quickly logged into Weibo and struggled to find Han Jiayu's homepage.
Looking at the meager number of likes and shares above, I was completely bewildered.
"Brother Qing, is it him?"
Zhou Chen pointed to the Weibo interface on his phone.
Yang Qing's initially indignant expression brightened upon seeing the dismal data on Weibo: "Zhou Chen, do your best with this new song, I'll help you achieve great success!"
Ignoring Zhou Chen's flattered expression, Yang Qing secretly hardened his heart.
He wants to show everyone that having a good song isn't enough to dominate the charts during graduation season!
Even the best songs will be buried without a sufficient fan base!
"Not choosing me is your biggest mistake, you'll definitely regret it!"
Yang Qing, with a gloomy expression, downed the beer in his hand in one gulp.
…
"Mu Bai, what are you doing?"
Li Mubai not only liked Han Jiayu's Weibo post, but also reposted it, a move that Luo Qi couldn't understand.
"I love this song."
When Li Mubai learned that Han Jiayu had become the final winner, he was bewildered.
He couldn't find a reason to lose, whether in terms of hardware or software, and his opponent was an unknown nobody.
At that time, he felt resentful and angry, and even loudly questioned Luo Qi whether there was something fishy going on.
But after calming down, I still can't help liking this song, and I don't want such a classic to be tarnished.
“But it’s your competitor.” Luo Qi’s expression was unpleasant.
Li Mubai remained silent, only pointing to the appalling interaction data under Han Jiayu's Weibo post, as if to say: Do you think he has the qualifications?
Luo Qi remained silent.
"This is a timely help for me. Although it is a pity that I cannot work with Teacher Fusheng this time, it does not mean that I do not want to form a good relationship with him."
Li Mubai's eyes flashed: "Sister Qi, opportunities are earned, aren't they?"
Luo Qi seemed to think for a moment, then a kind expression appeared on her face: "Mu Bai, you are so sensible. With such foresight, you will surely have a bright future in the entertainment industry."
…
Lin Rui, who was physically weak, naturally wouldn't stay up late in front of the computer and went to sleep early.
Meanwhile, my roommates were still sitting in front of their computers, engrossed in a MOBA game called "King of Glory".
—Defeated…
"You two are such a bunch of noobs! I told you to guard the tower, but you insisted on running outside and feeding the enemy!"
"It's all because you forced us to start the group."
"You've ruined all three routes, and you still have the nerve to say that."
"Damn it! I'm not playing anymore, I'm going to listen to music."
Xu Zhe cursed and shut down the game, put on his headphones, and opened his usual music app: [Xiazhou Cloud Music].
At midnight, in addition to some established songs that maintained their momentum, many new faces appeared on the charts.
As a top student in the vocal music department, Xu Zhe naturally has some unique insights into music. He was just about to listen to a new song on the recommended list when suddenly his phone beeped with a text message notification.
What kind of manners are these!
Sending messages in the middle of the night, don't you have any sense of public morality?
Xu Zhe was already furious, and now his face darkened even more. He opened WeChat to see which blind fool it was.
He quickly shut up because the message came from a WeChat group.
—A loving family
The message was sent by my mother, the one who holds absolute power in the family!
Xu Zhe quickly checked the message; it was a music sharing link.
The message below reads: "Son, this is your cousin's new song, it's really good."
My cousin released a new song?
This deserves our support!
First, he replied with a "received" emoji, and then Xu Zhe clicked on the link in the group.
As a gentle intro began, the song's name appeared on Xu Zhe's phone screen.
—Those Years
