I really don't want to be the top streamer anymore

Chapter 159: The Legend of Sword and Fairy

Fei Niao can almost certainly predict that this first release song from Su Zhi’s new album will definitely be a hit!

Well, it seems that there is no need to predict anymore, because the popularity of his live broadcast room alone is already terrifyingly high.

One hundred and sixty thousand people listened to the song with him, and almost all of them gave it positive reviews.

"Let's listen to it again."

Fat Bird spoke naturally.

In the next ten minutes, Fei Niao listened to the song "The Wind Rises" four or five times.

Although the first time I listened to it was still the most amazing, I have to admit that I really like it more and more each time I listen to it.

But Fat Bird was also a little helpless as there was only one song.

The quality of this pre-release song makes people look forward to Su Zhi's entire album even more.

And most importantly, the song was too short. The number of people in the live broadcast room had just started to increase, but there was no other activity.

Even though I listened to it so many times, the number of people did not drop significantly.

But there is definitely no way to continue to maintain it.

On QQ Music, Ran Yunxiang went to listen to Su Zhi’s new song as soon as it was released.

Then, without much hesitation, he spoke directly:
"Tell the operations department to urgently give Su Zhi's new album and the song "The Wind Rises" the highest level of recommendation on the platform."

After hearing what Ran Yunxiang said, the assistant hesitated.

"But Mr. Ran, Su Zhi's album did not sign a copyright agreement with us, which is against the rules."

Ran Yunxiang frowned.

"Do as I say."

"Forget it, I'll go there myself."

Less than an hour after its release, "The Wind Rises" has already topped the charts.

The two major platforms, QQ Music and Penguin Music, are leading by a large margin in terms of new song charts, popular charts, and even search popularity.

Although there are no other well-known singers releasing new songs at the same time today.

But it is quite exaggerated to have such popularity.

Not to mention the first-tier singers, even many veteran singers would probably find it difficult to achieve such data.

But obviously, this is just the beginning.

As evening came, "The Wind Rises" began to become completely popular, the kind that dominated all platforms.

There is no need to say much about the two major music platforms. Cloud Music responded quickly and started to allocate platform promotional resources shortly after the song was released.

Penguin Music didn't start following the trend until the evening.

As a result, most netizens subconsciously went to QQ Music to listen to music.

In addition, the song title "The Wind Rises" has been the number one trending search on Weibo from noon to evening and has never come down.

Even on various short websites, you can always find the song "The Wind Rises".

"Sure enough, it has to be the collaboration between Xu Kong and Su Zhi. After listening to the beginning, I added it to the playlist without hesitation."

"The album is called "Su Xu", it's a CP party relationship, this is a blatant official sweet post, and the first song "The Wind Rises" is also very nice"

“I feel like it has already been reserved as the best of the year. Although it is just a first release, it gives us an idea of ​​the quality of this album.”

There are almost all positive reviews online. Although some music critics have jumped out to sing a different tune, it has no impact on the overall situation.

Some people have even started toasting champagne at halftime. No, they started opening champagne right after the start of the game, and directly booked Su Zhi's album as the best of the year.

At this point, although things have actually exceeded many people's expectations, they are still within the scope of understanding.

After all, there are at least a few songs every year that become hit singles.

With Xu Kong and Su Zhi as a combination, it is certain that the new song will be very popular.

What surprised colleagues was that they never thought that the popularity of the song would be so high as soon as it was released.

But by the next day, things started to go wrong.

Because the popularity of the song "The Wind Rises" not only did not decline, but instead ushered in a terrifying surge.

The number of song collections has directly exceeded 800,000 and is heading towards one million.

Remember, this song was just released yesterday.

If nothing unexpected happens, it is expected to break the record for the fastest single collection to reach one million.

Even apart from the two major music platforms, it has always been ranked first on the related search charts of major social networking sites, leading by a large margin.

The reason for this chain reaction, in addition to the popularity of the song itself, is also related to the current timing.

“Why is the heat so high?”

"In fact, I'll show you a video and you'll know."

In Feiniao's live broadcast room, his professional comments on songs may not be up to par.

But in terms of understanding of most of the current audience, as well as the sense of the entire Chinese music scene and commercial market, it is definitely the leader among the current related self-media.

He quickly opened a video platform and found a video in his collection.

This is a video of more than five minutes, and judging from the editing technique alone, it can only be described as mediocre.

It is just a video edited by an ordinary senior to commemorate graduation, but with the addition of the song "The Wind Rises" as background music and some real footage shot on campus, the viewing experience is completely different.

After the video ended, Fat Bird said:
"This is just one of them, and the number of views has already exceeded two million!"

"There are some short videos of similar style, and the data is even more exaggerated."

"I'm about to get my diploma, but I haven't found a job yet. I don't know how other people feel, but I almost cried the first time I heard Su Zhi's song "The Wind Rises."

"Xu Kong didn't shoot a music video for this song, but when I listen to it, many images emerge in my mind, as if the song comes with its own music video."

"The college entrance examination is just a few days away. I recently returned home to take the exam. Although I am still very nervous, I hope everything goes well."

In the comment section related to "The Wind Rises", messages from students who graduated this year can be seen almost everywhere.

That’s right, June is the annual graduation season.

The song "The Wind Rises" is really suitable for the atmosphere of graduation season.

Strictly speaking, does the entire song "The Wind Rises" contain any lyrics related to graduation?
Definitely not.

But the lyrics, concept and melody of the song are hard not to resonate with the graduates after listening to it.

The nostalgia for the good old days, the feeling of uncertainty about the future, the feeling of longing amidst the confusion.

Even those who have graduated for many years will definitely resonate when they hear it.

Therefore, even without the popularity of Xu Kong and Su Zhi, this song "The Wind Rises" will still be popular at this point in time.

It’s just that it may not reach the exaggerated popularity it is now.

"He is sick!!!"

"Are you sick?"

At this moment, Kiwi and Qin Xian seemed a little hysterical.

Temper and personality are one aspect, but the main thing is the situation this time, which is really something Qin Xian, who has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, cannot understand at all.

why?
Obviously, his own drama is about to be aired.

Why is it that the pre-release song of Su Zhi’s new album is released at this very moment?

Qin Xian certainly didn't believe that Xu Kong, a person who wrote songs for Su Zhi and took charge of the album production, couldn't determine the release time of "The Wind Rises".

It was obviously Xu Kong's own decision. But what was the purpose?

It was said to be for the promotion of his new drama, but this song has nothing to do with Xu Kong's new drama.

So far, it has not had any publicity effect at all.

Instead, because of a song, the popularity of his new drama and their movie "Mystic Valley" was directly stolen.

Although the previous large-scale publicity did not fail, it certainly suffered a huge impact.

"This kid is deliberately targeting me!"

Qin Xian finally came to this conclusion.

And he wasn't talking about the kiwi fruit, he was talking about himself.

Because strictly speaking, Xu Kong does not have much conflict with the Kiwi platform itself.

Almost all the previous grudges occurred between him and Xu Kong.

However, Qin Xian, as the vice president, basically represents the Kiwi platform to the outside world.

The result now is that he believes that Xu Kong's evil plans are directly aimed at Kiwi and their upcoming "Mysterious Valley".

And it's the kind of game where you kill one thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of your own.

No matter who it is, I guess it would be impossible to remain calm.

After all, letting Su Zhi release an album at this time to steal the popularity of her new drama is completely inconsistent with any business logic and plan.

Of course, Qin Xian himself forgot that his decision to release "Mysterious Valley" and Xu Kong's "Legend of Sword and Fairy" on the same day was actually not in line with business logic.

“People from QQ Music and Penguin Video contacted us proactively.”

When he first met Xu Kong, although Xu Kong was a top star at the time, Yuan Yinan did not look down on him at all.

Because Fengqing Entertainment at that time chose to pay Su Zhi to sing the song written by Xu Kong.

Even so, Yuan Yinnan was still very reluctant.

If the studio wasn't short of money, it would definitely not have agreed to this.

After all, for a singing queen like Su Zhi, singing a song written by Xu Kong is a small matter, but if the quality of the song is very poor, it will definitely affect Su Zhi's reputation and image.

Who knew that not long after, when I saw Xu Kong again, I would have to spend money to buy songs from him.

Until now, although the studio moved to Beijing, Xu Kong has only come here a few times during this period.

But she herself didn't realize that she had begun to subconsciously ask Xu Kong for his opinion and views on various decisions.

“Did they offer a high price?”

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is about to be broadcast, and in the last week, Xu Kong will definitely not be able to go to Su Zhi's studio often.

Moreover, the name of Su Zhi's new album was chosen by herself.

When Xu Kong saw it, he was stunned for a moment.

In the past two days, Song Youyou has started to keep an eye on him, as if she was guarding against a thief.

However, as many music critics have analyzed online, as the lyricist and composer of the entire album, as well as the producer, there is actually nothing wrong with Xu Kong's album title.

After all, strictly speaking, Xu Kong should have half or even more of the album's credits.

So the matter was explained to Song Youyou.

But he certainly didn't dare let Song Youyou and Su Zhi confront each other or anything like that.

The last time the two met was at the finals of "Singer".

At that time, Xu Kong was already sweating profusely.

This was when nothing really happened between him and Su Zhi.

Now, if such a Shura field appeared again, Xu Kong couldn’t even imagine it.

Hearing Xu Kong's question, Yuan Yinan nodded heavily.

And emphasized:
“It’s not high, it’s very high!”

"Penguin Music offered six million per year for exclusive copyright!"

"Yun Music even gave us 8 million."

After Yuan Yinan finished speaking, he looked at Xu Kong.

The meaning is very clear, which is to ask for his opinion whether to sell or not.

After hearing the specific numbers, Xu Kong was not surprised.

After all, "The Wind Rises" is so popular now, and the album promotion effect brought by the pre-release song has been fully maximized.

And even if it is just for the exclusive copyright of this song, such a high price is completely worth it.

Although there wouldn't be any big problem in accepting it now, Xu Kong still shook his head.

"Sister Yinan, just say you need some time to think about it."

Yuan Yinan naturally understood what Xu Kong meant.

Xu Kong still maintained his previous plan and would talk to the other party after the next three songs were released.

Although Yuan Yinan felt that the price was already very suitable, he still nodded.

After all, the copyright is still in Xu Kong's hands.

Although Xu Kong said that the copyright fee was given to Su Zhi personally, she couldn't make the decision for Su Zhi.

And now Su Zhi would probably unconditionally support anything Xu Kong said or decided.

There is no need for me to continue wasting my time on these things.

"I see."

Yuan Yinan agreed.

With the arrival of the college entrance examination season in June, the song "The Wind Rises" has become increasingly popular.

When it was released, everyone thought that the record-breaking data was quite exaggerated.

But later I realized that it was just the beginning.

After a week of fermentation, "The Wind Rises" can basically be predicted to be the most popular single of the year.

However, at the same time, although the publicity and promotion managers of both Mango and Kiwi were complaining in their hearts, it was already this point in time and the publicity and promotion of "Mystic Valley" could not be stopped.

On the contrary, the last few days of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" seemed much more low-key.

Mainly starting from the New Year’s Eve Gala, Xu Kong’s new drama has almost been warmed up.

In the end, it was Xu Kong who asked Penguin Video to be more restrained.

Because he knows very well that although the more investment in publicity and promotion before a new drama is broadcast, the better, sometimes there will really be a backlash effect.

It is not uncommon in the entertainment industry for films to fail due to excessive publicity.

After all, people may be interested in something once or twice, but if you can see all kinds of marketing accounts praising the product everywhere, it will inevitably leave a bad impression on some passers-by.

And at the current stage, everything that should be done has actually been done, and the publicity has achieved its effect.

Next, it’s time for a head-on confrontation and for the quality of the drama itself to be tested.

After the last wave of college entrance examination enthusiasm passed, time flew by and it was already June 10th.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Mysterious Valley" entered the official broadcast stage almost at the same time.
