Going to work? Even a dog wouldn't go!

Chapter 41, Making a fortune!

Du Yue stared at the computer screen for a long time before she came back to her senses.

Xu Yao, Sun Jiaren, and Chu Yourong's new songs were all released at 10:00 AM, and it's 5:00 PM now.

The three songs were only online for seven hours, but Chu Yourong's new song made a comeback, climbing all the way from the 40s to the top of the charts.

It's worth noting that Rongshu Entertainment spent a lot of money on marketing for Xu Yao and Sun Jiaren, spending three to four million yuan just on self-media bloggers, not including the cost of buying recommendation slots from platforms and a massive number of online trolls.

All expenses added together, it's estimated to be six or seven million!

The marketing expenses for the two songs alone amounted to six or seven million yuan, which shows how much Rongshu Entertainment valued this attempt to block Chu Yourong.

Because this involves issues of face and establishing authority.

Banyan Tree Entertainment originally intended to use this incident to show its artists and peers that leaving Banyan Tree Entertainment would not end well.

As a result, the large-scale sniping operation turned into a joke!

Without a marketing team, Chu Yourong, working alone, actually took the top spot on the new song chart!

This is unbelievable! Du Yue has never suffered such a crushing defeat since she entered the industry!

dong dong dong.

The knocking interrupted Du Yue's thoughts. Her assistant entered the office and said, "Director Du, President Yu has asked us to attend a meeting in the small conference room."

"understood."

Du Yue took a deep breath and stood up from her seat.

It's obvious that President Yu Kai must be furious right now, so she was thinking about how to shift the blame on her way to the conference room.

Upon arriving at the conference room, just as she had expected, President Yu Kai's expression was extremely unpleasant.

"Director Du, you made a guarantee during the meeting before, what do you say now?"

Yu Kai didn't waste any words and launched an attack as soon as the others arrived.

"Mr. Yu, we have indeed done our best in marketing, and we have achieved very good results in the early stages."

"Xu Yao and Sun Jiaren have consistently ranked first and second on the new song charts."

Du Yue first talked about her "achievements", and then immediately started to shift the blame: "I have already reviewed the situation. The reason why Xu Yao and Sun Jiaren lost to Chu Yourong was entirely due to the quality of their works. The quality of their new songs was far inferior to that of Chu Yourong's song."

"The huge gap in content cannot be bridged by marketing!"

Although Du Yue did not name names, her words were tantamount to shifting the blame to the creative department.

Large entertainment companies all have their own creative teams, and these teams hold a relatively high position within the company. Although marketing is very important in the current market environment, content is ultimately the core.

High-quality content will never go out of style and can continuously benefit artists, whether it's music or film and television works.

Rongshu Entertainment's music and film businesses are separate. The person in the conference room right now is Tang Junxiang, the director of the music creation department.

He is a famous musician and composer who has created several popular songs, but now that he is over fifty years old, he has passed his creative peak. Working at Rongshu Entertainment is a way for him to secure his retirement.

Seeing that the battle had spread to him, Tang Junxiang was not flustered at all. He took a sip of the herbal tea he carried with him and then said, "I have heard Chu Yourong's new song. It is of excellent quality, full of emotion, and easy for listeners to empathize with. It has the potential to be a hit song. So, it is not unfair that Xu Yao and Sun Jiaren lost this time."

"Based on my experience, there are probably only a few songs like this in a year. We can only say that we were unlucky this time and encountered a masterpiece by a certain creator who had a sudden flash of inspiration." "Creation is inherently a lot of randomness, and no one can make accurate predictions."

Tang Junxiang's attitude was very clear: it wasn't that our creative department was bad; it was that our opponents were too strong, and we were also unlucky, as we just happened to encounter a certain creator's masterpiece.

His explanation was fairly reasonable, and he wasn't deliberately trying to shift the blame.

"Is it possible to contact the songwriter?"

Before the meeting, Yu Kai listened to "Decent" several times. He knew that the main reason for the failure was that Chu Yourong's new song was too "product-driven".

This song is so catchy that even if Chu Yourong sang it, any music blogger on Douyin could make it a hit with just a little marketing.

This is also where the value of a "creative genius" lies. If a company has a creative genius who can consistently produce talent, then the company can continuously "produce" artists to make money for the company.

Therefore, with the defeat already a fait accompli, Yu Kai values ​​the creators behind "Decent" more. If he could recruit them to his company, this defeat wouldn't be such a big deal.

"I have already sent him a private message, and I believe I will receive a reply soon."

If you can't beat someone, recruit them. Tang Junxiang naturally understood this principle, so after "Decent" gained momentum, he had already used his connections to inquire about "Sixth Sense".

Unfortunately, after asking around, no one in the circle knew the other party, so he could only send a private message to the other party through the copyright website's backend.

"Okay, poach him, let him name his salary!"

Yu Kai nodded, acknowledging Tang Junxiang's initiative to contact the author of "Decent".

Yujing Garden.

Seeing "Decent" soar to the top of the new song chart, Chu Yourong excitedly jumped up from the sofa.

Although she had always been confident in "Decent", she was ultimately going head-to-head with Xu Yao and Sun Jiaren, who also had a powerful marketing team. Chu Yourong didn't know what the final outcome would be.

Especially in the first three hours after the song was released, a large number of online trolls flooded all her social media accounts and the comment section of "Decent," which made her somewhat devastated.

Fortunately, "Decent" proved its worth and managed to break through thanks to word-of-mouth recommendations from its readers!
The music blogger with the nickname "Muttering to Myself" also played a significant role in this comeback, and Chu Yourong even sent a private message to the blogger to express her gratitude.

Keep in mind that when she stood up for herself, other music bloggers were all paid to smear her and "Decent"!

Now, "Decent" has finally broken through the darkness before dawn and ushered in the light that was rightfully its.

Overjoyed, Chu Yourong immediately dialed Zhang Xian's number, eager to share the good news with him.

"Decent is number one! Number one on the new song chart!"

The call connected, and Chu Yourong shouted excitedly.

Zhang Xian is fishing by the river right now.

After a busy afternoon, I only caught a small fish about the length of a finger. I was quite depressed, but when I heard the good news on the phone, my depression vanished instantly.

He was the lyricist and composer of "Decent," so he was entitled to a share of the profits.

In addition, Chu Yourong is a support player who can help others while lying down, so Zhang Xian can get double the money she earns. This is definitely a win-win situation, so how can they not make a fortune!
