“The System has detected the Host’s compassionate act of actively engaging in charity, triggering a System reward. Congratulations, Host, on receiving the songs: 'that sea' and 'tianlu (the road to heaven).'”
Immediately after hanging up the video call with Han Zhuoma, Su Yu’s mind was suddenly filled with the System Miss’s clear and pleasant notification.
Su Yu was filled with surprise; he had never expected that a decision he made on a whim would actually trigger a reward from the System.
Moreover, the rewards were two popular songs that were extremely suitable for Han Zhuoma.
“System Miss, thank you!” Su Yu’s face was beaming with a joyful smile as he expressed his sincere gratitude.
He genuinely felt that the System Miss was becoming more and more considerate, and increasingly human-like.
However, the System Miss did not respond.
At this moment, it was already very close to midnight on September 1st.
Su Yu simply stopped trying to sleep and quietly waited for midnight to arrive.
Time passed by second by second, and soon, the clock struck midnight precisely.
Han Jiangxue’s “", foam” and Wang Shan’s “in spring” were simultaneously launched on the Ocean Music Platform.
On the recommendation slots, Ocean Music’s approach was very fair; the advertising banners for both songs were side-by-side, with identical sizes and layouts, directly creating a strong sense of the two songs fiercely PK-ing and competing on a stage.
Su Yu secretly thought to himself that if the real-time download data for both songs were also displayed, it would be even more like a gunpowder-filled arena.
It was a pity that there was no such setting in reality.
As the two songs went online, many netizens and viewers who had been waiting for this moment also rushed in impatiently.
Without any surprise, “", foam” immediately took the top spot on the September New Song Chart with a terrifying data of 110,000 downloads in just one minute after its release.
In the following ten minutes or so, the downloads for “", foam” smoothly exceeded one million, and all of this development was within Su Yu’s expectations.
However, Wang Shan’s new song was also biting very closely this time; at this moment, “in spring” also had over 800,000 downloads.
But in Su Yu’s opinion, it would be very, very difficult for “in spring” to make a comeback against the odds.
Therefore, after Su Yu checked the System’s entertainment prestige value, he went to sleep contentedly.
His manuscript fees would be credited first tomorrow, and his music royalties would also be credited on the 3rd.
By then, he would truly be able to shop without any worries.
The next morning, Su Yu was woken up by Li Dayue’s phone call.
Before Su Yu could even get angry about being woken up, Li Dayue’s urgent voice came through: “Su Yu, the download data for “", foam” has been surpassed!”
This immediately made Su Yu wide awake.
He quickly got up, opened the music platform, and checked the download status of the two songs.
After a night, the downloads for “", foam” had reached 17 million.
This download volume was quite normal; Su Yu’s previous songs also had this level of first-day downloads, and “", foam” was even slightly higher.
Moreover, the song’s comment section was full of positive reviews, with almost no negative comments to be seen.
However, when Su Yu saw that Wang Shan’s new song “in spring” had reached 21 million downloads at this time, he was completely stunned.
His first reaction was whether the other party had spent money? Otherwise, with Wang Shan’s popularity and the quality of “in spring,” such an astonishing comeback would be impossible, right?
“What’s going on? Did Giant Shark spend money?” Su Yu quickly asked Li Dayue.
“No, at six o’clock, “", foam” was still in the lead! But it seems like the star celebrities from Giant Shark, Qunxing, and Ocean all colluded, and after six o’clock, they all started promoting the song “in spring.” It’s only been less than an hour, and the download data for “in spring” has surged by over 6 million! And this explosive growth shows no sign of stopping, as the peak period hasn’t even arrived yet.” Li Dayue revealed everything he knew.
In fact, it was also because he was older and woke up earlier in the morning, which was why he discovered the changes in the two songs at the first opportunity.
Alright, Giant Shark and them have teamed up.
And with the star celebrities from their three major entertainment companies all stepping in, how could Tianxing Entertainment alone possibly win?
Even though Li Dayue had already instructed the company’s artists to start promoting “", foam,” it was a bit futile.
Now, the internet is filled with promotions for “in spring” from various film, television, and music stars; the top three trending searches on Tribe are all occupied by them.
This level of popularity truly isn’t something that ordinary people can reverse or break.
Moreover, the quality of “in spring” is truly excellent, and these star celebrities from various companies have no pressure promoting it; they can also curry favor with Giant Shark and Qunxing, so why wouldn’t these people be happy to do it?
Therefore, this led to Tianxing being somewhat helpless.
Losing a song’s download volume is nothing, but this feeling of being targeted by everyone is truly frustrating! Especially since Han Jiangxue’s “", foam” is so strong! This makes it even more frustrating.
Also, this is Su Yu’s last month to challenge for advanced lyricist and composer, and if he suffers a defeat right at the start, it will probably be impossible to catch up later, right?
Just like the new song chart last month, the song that ultimately took the championship was Liu Ruyan’s “flammable and explosive.”
Although subsequent songs like “like you,” “easy to be hurt woman,” and “big fish” caught up at an incredibly fierce pace, the leading song had already had a head start of several days.
Naturally, it wasn’t that easy to catch up.
But can you say that these songs are definitely inferior to “flammable and explosive”?
However, this is the first-mover advantage of the charts!
It’s actually fair to everyone; if you’re not convinced, then release your song at the beginning of the month too.
Su Yu went to check the trending searches on Tribe again, and sure enough, they were all recommendations about “in spring.”
The popularity of “", foam” seemed to have been reduced to dust; its presence was completely absent from the top twenty trending searches.
Giant Shark and their company truly live up to their reputation as a top entertainment company; once they make a move, they truly don’t intend to leave any room for Su Yu.
Moreover, the current online sentiment is all about how heartfelt “in spring” is, and how powerful the combination of He Wei and He Xi is, and so on.
As for topics that disparage Su Yu, the lyricist and composer? Sorry, there aren’t any.
Because they don’t want to share any of the popularity with Su Yu! They don’t even mention “The King of Singers,” they only praise the song and Wang Shan’s explosive singing style...
And whenever someone brings up the topic of “", foam,” it is instantly drowned in the sea of people, showcasing their domineering stance without a doubt.
After all, with Giant Shark and the other major entertainment companies working together, even a social platform like Tribe has to bow down.
