With just a few casual words, I've swept the music scene.

Chapter 62 Let's listen to the barbecue guy.

At the headquarters of Alphabet Music, an assistant rushed into the executive's office.

"What's wrong?" The executive was startled.

"This is incredible!" the assistant exclaimed excitedly. "Right after this episode of 'The Voice of China' aired, we've seen a surge in new user registrations. In less than an hour, we've gained 600,000 new users!"

"What does this have to do with 'The Voice of China'?" the executive asked, looking surprised.

"Guess what?" the assistant asked, keeping everyone in suspense.

"What's wrong?" the executive asked, puzzled.

The assistant excitedly said, "The data department's analysis revealed that these new users searched for 'The Wanderer's Song' immediately after registering! And they basically only listen to 'The Wanderer's Song'! Now, the number of clicks and downloads for 'The Wanderer's Song' has exceeded one million!"

"Huh?" The executive was startled.

Good guy!

This song had only tens of thousands of clicks and downloads before, but in just a short time, it has exceeded one million?

"Did Fanfu Culture advertise 'The Wanderer's Song'?" he asked hastily.

The assistant nodded, went online to find the replay of this episode, and showed it to the executives, focusing on the barbecue guy's segment.

After reading it, the executives were so happy they couldn't stop smiling!

"Awesome! Boss Fan is really awesome!"

"I thought this was just a favor to be done and money was being given away for free, but I never expected that Boss Fan would make us a fortune!"

"Alphabet Music really hit the jackpot this time!"

Even if a song gets a lot of clicks and downloads, it's not a big deal.

But it directly brought 600,000 new users to the Alphabet Music platform, which is quite remarkable!

In the internet age, what reigns supreme?

User base!

This is a true treasure that money can't buy, and that nothing can buy!

Moreover, these 600,000 new users only registered within the first hour after the show aired. As "The Wanderer's Song" spreads further, even more new users will undoubtedly flock to Alphabet Music!

What an achievement!

The executives were absolutely ecstatic!

Meanwhile, the executives in charge at JiMusic and XiuYunMusic were all dumbfounded.

"How could this happen? They suddenly had 600,000 new users?"

"Those users should have been ours! How come they all went to EXO Music?"

"I miscalculated! I really miscalculated this time!"

Before they could even finish their exclamations, their superiors called and gave them a severe dressing-down:

"You're not a newbie, you've been doing this for so many years, and you can't even figure out such a small thing? What kind of entity is 'Flip Culture'? What kind of person is 'Flip'? You dare to look down on his songs?"

"No need for explanations! I don't want to hear your excuses! Immediately find a way to improve relations with the 'Overturning Culture' project and try to bring 'The Shy Rose Quietly Blooms' over! Also, if you cause any more trouble like this, you're fired!"

The executives of the two music platforms were on the verge of tears, filled with regret. Without saying a word, they immediately called Wang Ke, first expressing their deepest apologies for what had happened, and then asking when Wang Ke would have time to invite him to a casual meal.

Wang Ke couldn't help but smile slightly.

Doing business is different from dealing with people in general. While you should repay kindness, you shouldn't hold grudges too much. Besides, a failed collaboration isn't really a big deal.

Each of the three major platforms has its own advantages, and music companies that want to develop well must maintain good relationships with all three platforms.

Besides, since the other party had specially flown from the capital to Linhai to invite him to a casual meal, he had to give them face, so of course he agreed.

The two executives were overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, at Yuting Culture, Zhuo Tao broke quite a few things.

"Son of a bitch!"

"What a bastard!"

"This can go viral?"

"Can't you even be reasonable?"

The latest season of "The Voice of China" has once again sparked a ratings frenzy, while Yuting Culture's "The Strongest Newcomer" has become less popular.

If this continues, the show is likely to be completely canceled.

Zhuo Tao was naturally filled with hatred.

Why?

Why!

How could Wang Ke, by his own strength, have driven such a large company as Yuting Culture to such a desperate situation?

Zhuo Tao couldn't understand, nor did he want to understand.

Because what he's most anxious about right now is Xu Chen's matter.

Migrant workers can also be traffic drivers, and wage earners can also be consumers. The lower-tier market, which is looked down upon by other high-end companies, is actually a very considerable market!

Originally, this market was almost monopolized by Yuting Culture, but now, Fanfu Culture has actually launched a barbecue guy named Wang Xiang!

This guy's singing skills are just average, not much better than the average person, but the problem is... he's a real urban migrant worker, a real "lower class" person!

Isn't this more likely to evoke a sense of closeness among consumers in lower-tier markets than Xu Chen?

Just then, Xu Chen knocked on the door and entered, immediately exclaiming in a panic, "President Zhuo, what should we do? This barbecue guy is clearly trying to steal my market share!"

"What's the rush!" Zhuo Tao said angrily. "If he can release songs, so can we! I'll arrange for someone to write a new song for you right now. I don't believe we can't beat them!"

"Can it work?" Xu Chen asked.

"Of course!" Zhuo Tao sneered. "These kinds of songs aren't difficult at all. They're just simple melodies with some plain lyrics. Our songwriters can write a bunch of them in no time! Be prepared, you're probably going to have a tough time in the coming days."

"No problem!" Xu Chen nodded hurriedly. "As long as we can defeat the Overturned Culture and take down the Barbecue Bro, no matter how tired we are, it's fine!"

Yuting Culture immediately sprang into action. Under Zhuo Tao's arrangement, several songwriters wrote ten songs for Xu Chen in one go, and Xu Chen recorded them all in a single day, which were then released directly by the company.

They also adopted the subversion of cultural patterns, taking these songs apart and using them as background music, adding footage from "Migrant Worker Brothers" to short video platforms.

But... the response was lukewarm.

It could even be said that there was virtually no response!

Zhuo Tao has seriously underestimated the migrant worker population and the lower-tier market!

Is this kind of song easy to write?

Are these people with low levels of education easy to fool?

Bullshit!

Highbrow art has its difficulties, and so does popular art!

Otherwise, wouldn't anyone just come out and write a few random lines or sing a few random songs and become an overnight sensation?

The price of underestimating the masses is that Xu Chen's reputation has been completely ruined because of these ten extremely low-quality songs!

"What kind of nonsense is Xu Chen posting?"

"Why does it sound like a rhyming jingle to me?"

"He didn't sing like this before!"

"Maybe it's because there's no comparison? Compared to the BBQ guy, his songs don't seem so appealing anymore."

"Come on, I'll just listen to the barbecue guy!"

Just then, Wang Ke wrote another song for the barbecue guy and released it in the same way as before.

In an instant, it once again ignited a frenzy of enthusiasm in the lower-tier market!

The song is called "The Child Who Left Home"!
