Chapter 008 Graduation Season
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.
