Entertainment: Starting with a Song of Rice Fragrance

The difference is 1000 downloads.

The difference is 958 times.

The difference is 875 times.

The difference is 666 times...

Three heads huddled together, staring intently at the number of downloads of "Rice Fragrance" on the screen.

They almost all held their breath, their eyes following the number as it jumped.

"375 takes left... Keep going, 'Rice Fragrance'!"

Xiao Yang's hands were clenched so tightly they were cracking.

Zheng Ning's heart was pounding wildly as he eagerly awaited this historic moment.

Although Zhao Lu was much calmer than the other two, her slightly faster breathing revealed that she was indeed extremely nervous.

After all, the company's upper management had already announced it in a meeting.

If someone makes it into the top 10 of Feixing Music Network's first newcomer champion chart this year, bringing glory to the company that has been relentlessly suppressed by the other two giants in recent years, then their manager's salary and job level will be raised by at least three levels!

If they can break into the top five, they might even be nominated for the position of deputy head of the brokerage department next year!

235 times...

199 times...

158 times...

The gap between 11th and 10th place was getting smaller and smaller, and inside the cramped commercial vehicle, the hearts of the three people were beating faster and faster.

"It's just a matter of 100 downloads left!"

Zheng Ning clenched his fist tightly, gripping his heart, and felt a little breathless.

I'm a complete newbie, a total amateur!

Yet he achieved what many new singers, heavily promoted by companies of all sizes, have failed to do!

If I can make it into the top 10 this time...

That might really set a new record for new talent in the entire Western Continent, no, or even the entire Blue Star!

"The greatest amateur singer in history!"

"The most amazing new singer in history!"

"The strongest new singer-songwriter on Earth!"

These kinds of hats will keep being shoved onto me...

The honors and money that follow are simply outrageous and unimaginable!

"That's 58 times!"

"That's 33 times!"

"Keep it up, 'Rice Fragrance'!"

"That's 22 times!"

"Ten times already, only ten downloads left to differentiate us!"

"Seven times!"

"Seven times!"

"Seven times!"

"5 times... Wow, we've tied! We've tied! 'Rice Fragrance' and 'Boundless Love' have tied, both at 201799 times!"

"Surpassed! Surpassed! 202098 times! Congratulations, Brother Ning, 'Rice Fragrance' has broken into the top ten of this year's newcomer champion list!"

At 12:35:47 noon.

A miraculous record has been set on Earth.

"Rice Fragrance" was uploaded at 9:35 AM on December 3rd.

In just 18 days, 3 hours and 47 seconds, without any prior company publicity, packaging and promotion, they broke into the top ten of the Feixing Group Music Network's Newcomer Champion Chart!

Moreover, the number of downloads reached a staggering 201853!

Never before on Earth has a single achieved such high sales figures in such a short period of time!

Never!

Even the three Heavenly Kings and two Heavenly Queens never reached such numbers when they debuted as newcomers!

This is unprecedented!

"Congratulations, Xiao Ning..."

Even Zhao Lu, who is well-informed and experienced, spoke with a tremor in her voice at this moment.

Her hand trembled as she raised it to adjust her gold-rimmed glasses, which were about to slip off her nose in shock.

"Thank you, Sister Zhao, thank you, Xiao Yang. Without your support and encouragement, and without the company's arrangements, I wouldn't have achieved this."

Zheng Ning displayed a rare display of high emotional intelligence at this moment.

He also knew that if things remained as they were, without any additional promotion or publicity from major companies, the song might remain at number 13.

Then, they were gradually overtaken by the songs of singers with resources, leaving behind a legendary tale that was both moving and regrettable. After being talked about for a short time, it was completely forgotten and thus came to an end.

But things are different now; he has the support of one of the three giants of the Western Continent!

I will no longer rely solely on organic traffic for promotion of my own work, nor will I rely solely on setting up a street stall to sing or working as a resident singer in a bar for promotion.

Instead, they will appear on major websites, newspapers, and even television programs for extensive and frenzied publicity.

One is heaven, the other is earth.

"Don't mention it, you deserve it. Your talent matches your current achievements... Xiao Yang, contact the company immediately!"

"Report this to them, and have the publicity department seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to quickly come up with the most eye-catching, viral publicity plan, and then roll it out immediately! I want to see this miraculous publicity in newspapers, online, and on television!"

After a brief moment of reflection and surprise, Zhao Lu immediately switched roles, transforming into the decisive and efficient white-collar elite.

……

Shocking! Amateur singer Zheng Ning's new song "Rice Fragrance" breaks into the top ten of the new song chart!

Incredible! Ordinary people can achieve such success!

"A Miracle of Eighteen Days, Three Hours, and Forty-Seven Seconds!"

A new singer, without any promotion or even a signed contract, creates a miracle on Earth!

Then, that afternoon...

Many daily evening newspapers also published similar news, introducing the background of the song and the story of the new singer to readers of traditional media.

In particular, it emphasized his legendary experience of having his voice ruined since childhood and not being able to sing for more than ten years, yet achieving amazing success.

This caused the name "Zheng Ning" to explode instantly on the internet and in traditional media!

Today, almost everyone with even a slight sensitivity to fashion or entertainment news has started discussing this ordinary name.

Who is Zheng Ning?

What kind of song is "Rice Fragrance"?

These two questions quickly became a popular topic of conversation among the people of Xizhou.

And the number of downloads for "Rice Fragrance" lived up to expectations, continuing its fierce upward surge on this wave of popularity!

分别在下午3点55分和5点48分成功地爆掉了第九名（光芒娱乐歌手）和第八名（星海娱乐歌手）的菊花，以294870次下载数，排在了新歌冠军榜的第八名！

In an instant, the entire Western music scene was shaken!
