Chapter 315 Signs of the Rankings
August belongs to the World Art Conference, but this does not dampen the enthusiasm of first, second, and third-tier artists to release songs and climb the charts.
To be precise, it should be called insane!
However, something seems off about this month's rankings.
In the past, the first, second and third tier lists were mostly familiar faces, and even if some unfamiliar names appeared, they only accounted for a small number.
But now, with this August chart, not only are the artists on the list baffled, but even the major entertainment companies are finding it hard to understand.
"Who are they?"
Xiao Jingyu, who was pushed off the list, was feeling quite exhausted.
He then looked at Wen Wenxuan, Chi Tianju, Zheng Jiayou, and others, and noticed that they all looked rather grim.
They can accept failing to climb the charts, but they cannot accept losing without understanding why.
Take the current top three male celebrities as an example. If I remember correctly, the number one was ranked outside the top 1,000 last month. The other two are the kind of people I've heard of, but don't remember well.
Of course, no one would doubt whether these people were cheating or manipulating the rankings.
"The reason lies in the work itself."
Zheng Jing's gaze sharpened: "To be more precise, it's the person who wrote this song."
"celebrity?"
Everyone looked on in realization.
Zheng Jiayou was quick to react, clicking on the number one song on the list of top female artists.
At first glance, the composer and lyricist are the same person.
An Yuechun.
“I know this person.”
Wen Wenxuan leaned closer: "She is hailed as the number one singer in China."
"Take another look at this song."
Chi Tianju also casually clicked on a number one song on the charts.
The music was composed by Ke Changhuan, and the lyrics were written by Xue Ying.
Everyone pitched in and scanned almost all the top ten songs on the charts, and finally discovered that all the songs were related to Lizhou.
"It's as if this group of people had planned it all along."
Xiao Jingyu couldn't help but smile wryly.
He also hopes to become a top star this year, and now almost all the resources of the entire XZWC group are being poured into him.
Normally, this would be an enviable stroke of luck for peers, but now it has become an invisible pressure.
"That rumor seems to be pretty much true."
Luo Qi's eyes were serious: "After the World Arts Conference ends, the cultural walls of Lizhou and Sangzhou will be unlocked. There is even a saying that the entire continent will no longer restrict overseas travel."
Zheng Jing nodded upon hearing this: "If this day really comes, I'm afraid all industries will be impacted, and the impact will probably be far greater than the integration of the sixteen states back then."
Everyone in the room looked solemn.
I wasn't excited; in fact, I felt worried.
Back then, the mere unification of the sixteen states was enough to bring down the once-powerful kings and queens of each state from their pedestals.
In such a short time, the thrones of superstars have become cheap, and their audience has expanded tenfold, resulting in the possibility of new superstars emerging every day.
These days, if one wants to make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry, becoming a celebrity will be a major hurdle.
But not everyone can reach the throne of celebrity. To cross this threshold, artists must have their own style.
The definition of style is actually quite vague. What is more common is that you must write your own works and withstand the test of the market.
This is still an extremely simple threshold; other defined styles are simply not something ordinary artists can even consider.
For example, receiving a nomination for a world-class award.
Therefore, although the threshold for becoming a superstar has been lowered, it has probably become the upper limit for the vast majority of artists.
"The appearance of so many works related to Lizhou in August is probably at the behest of the capital behind these people."
Luo Qi pondered for a moment and said, "It should be a preparation for capturing the market in the future."
"Won't the competition for the rankings become increasingly fierce in the future?"
"It's far more intense than you can imagine."
