At this time, Bi Huo, whose new album had sold over ten million copies in just two days, was feeling triumphant but also a bit depressed.
Because just yesterday, after "Gee" was released, his number one spot on the new song chart was severely challenged!
By noon on the 4th, his position as the top of the August new song chart, which he had held for less than two days, had indeed changed hands.
However, Bi Huo wasn't too angry about being surpassed by his junior sisters from the same company.
Who could blame him when he also loved listening to "Gee" so much?
He was currently helping his girlfriend, Xue Qing, record her first new album, which was set to be released in September.
After all, according to the album release queue, it was Xue Qing's turn.
As for Xue Qing, she was quite concerned about the sales of her new album.
It wasn't that she lacked confidence in Su Yu's work, but rather that she lacked confidence in her own appeal regarding album sales.
Of course, after seeing Bi Huo's new album break ten million in sales in just two full days, Xue Qing's confidence also increased a bit.
They debuted at the same time and followed similar career paths.
So, her new album should also have similar sales, right?
At this moment, both the outside world and within Tianxing Entertainment were speculating about which singer Su Yu would send to compete in the eleventh episode of the "Four Nations Concert."
Because Su Yu, the newly appointed Music Director, seemed to have not yet visited the company since taking office.
However, at noon on the 4th, Su Yu's figure did appear in Tianxing Entertainment's Music Department.
And upon arrival, he immediately gathered all the lyricists and composers for an internal meeting, his first since taking office.
According to the lyricists and composers who participated in the meeting, Su Yu was planning a grand project called "One Hit Song Per Person"!
This meant that he intended to create a signature song for every singer at Tianxing Entertainment.
As soon as this plan was announced, the singers at Tianxing Entertainment were overjoyed, like something else.
Each of them was eager, waiting to be chosen as one of the first singers to execute this plan.
And this news quickly spread outside, causing a stir in the Chinese music scene.
Su Yu's plan was simply too ambitious.
Tianxing Entertainment has at least forty singers, big and small, under contract. One hit song per person? Is Su Yu not planning to leave any room for other entertainment companies?
On this day, the phones of Wang Tianfeng, Li Xing, Han Jianhua, and others were ringing off the hook.
They were all calls from outside companies asking if such a thing was true.
Some even directly asked Han Jianhua if Tianxing Entertainment was planning to monopolize the music market and declare war on the entire domestic entertainment industry.
Otherwise, why would they go to such extremes?
To this, Han Jianhua could only chuckle.
Even without a war before, you didn't have much competitiveness.
It sounds as if Tianxing Entertainment is hindering the development of the Chinese music scene.
But the real hindrance should be you, who are not striving for progress, right?
As for Su Yu's first move as the new official, the three of them naturally supported it wholeheartedly.
How could they let Su Yu change his plan because of these calls from the outside world, filled with impotent rage?
Changing plans on a whim is the most fatal thing.
Also on the same day, a very unexpected visitor arrived at Tianxing Entertainment, and it was Su Yu who invited him?
No one knew why Su Yu knew this person, but no one dared to ask, right?
Time flew by, and soon it was the 10th, the day the results of the tenth episode of the "Four Nations Concert" were released.
This time, the rankings surprised many people, especially the audience and netizens in South Korea; they felt even more despair!
The first place was undoubtedly taken by Su Yu's "Gee."
Second place was unexpectedly claimed by Quanshui!
Third place was Chris.
Fourth place was Chu Daye, fifth place Ida Shoichiro, sixth place Kailina, seventh place Jin Shanxi, and Piao Zhenshi was eighth.
This was South Korea's home ground, yet the two lyricists from their home country ranked at the bottom?
Is there any justice in this?
Could it be that Cui Dabang's actions indirectly affected the sales of their two lyricists' songs?
Perhaps they could only comfort self in this way.
And on the overall points list, there were also some changes.
Su Yu continued to lead the chart with an unbeatable 30 points.
Second place was Chris with 7 points.
Third place was a tie with 6 points between Chu Ming and Kailina.
Fifth place was Ida Shoichiro with 5 points.
Quanshui ranked sixth with 3 points.
Piao Zhenshi ranked seventh with 2 points.
According to the initial rules of the "Four Nations Concert," the top four lyricists in terms of points would enter the final championship round.
At this point, besides Su Yu, who had already secured a spot in the finals, Chris, with 7 points, was also guaranteed to advance to the finals.
And Chu Ming, Kailina, and Ida Shoichiro also had a great chance to enter the finals.
But the chances for others were a bit slim.
Piao Zhenshi and Jin Shanxi had no chance at all, and for Quanshui to advance, she would not only need to get 3 points but also need Chu Ming and Kailina to score no points!
This was an almost impossible task!
Leaving aside everything else, just the premise of wanting to defeat Su Yu on China's home ground was not feasible.
Just as audiences and netizens from the Four Nations were hotly speculating on who would make it to the finals, South Korea stirred up more trouble.
The South Korean television station responsible for hosting contacted the representatives from Jinling TV, Japan, and the United States, hoping to increase the number of spots in the finals from the original 4 to 8!
And the previous points could be converted into cash rewards proportionally!
For example, 1 point equaling two hundred thousand US dollars would be very reasonable.
Their South Korean television station and capital were willing to actively bear the responsibility of distributing these cash rewards.
The representatives from the three television stations, including Jinling TV, were almost amused by South Korea's shamelessness.
Are they people who lack this money?
And can you not be any more shameless? One point for 200,000 US dollars?
If the lyricists and composers had known this from the beginning, they probably would have quit long ago!
Didn't you see Lawrence from the United States getting depressed over the competition?
Was it not because he was worried he couldn't represent the United States in the finals?
Now, you, on the other hand, just open and close your mouth and want to change the rules!
Are we playing house with you?!
"We will not agree! Adding two more home grounds for the other three nations was already the limit China could offer. Now you want to change the promotion rules? Do you want us to become a laughing stock in the eyes of the Four Nations' audience?"
The Chinese representative retorted with a dark face.
"That's right! We also disagree with changing the rules! If you South Korea can't play, then just change it to a Three Nations Concert for the second season! Or introduce television stations from other countries to cooperate!"
The US representative spoke even more bluntly, leaving no room for politeness.
Currently, many television stations from various countries are eager to join in, so what are you South Korea showing off about?
