Entertainment: Starting with a Song of Rice Fragrance

The scene shifts to Zheng Ning's side.

Why did "Rice Fragrance" suddenly surge upwards so much just now?

It was because of Zhao Lu's strong urging, and the efforts of the relevant colleagues at the company headquarters from top to bottom, that the process was finally completed, and the remaining 2000 million yuan of the 1500 million yuan that he, as a B-level singer, could use for promotion each year was poured in!

According to the rules, B-level singers are entitled to 2000 million yuan in promotional funds per year, but this does not mean that a newly joined singer can receive that much financial support when there are only half a month left in the year.

Meanwhile, these funds are distributed in installments over 12 months, unless there are special circumstances requiring a sudden publicity campaign.

But Zhao Lu can't care about any of that right now!

This is related to whether Zhao Lu's name will be nominated for vice minister next year!

Within the permitted scope, she made many promises to her headquarters colleagues involved in the financial transactions, thus incurring many favors.

The goal is to make an exception for them during this special period and pour in all the funds that are theoretically available!

And where can you find a manager like Zhao Lu who would go to great lengths to get the position of deputy minister?

The reason why "Rice Fragrance" is so smoothly and rapidly rising to the top is because it benefits from the fact that newcomers from other companies are not as able to withstand pressure and obtain resources. Their annual publicity budget and resources, when divided up into this one month, are probably only a little over two million!

"This is also for the company's benefit. For so many years, the company hasn't produced any new talent, and we've been completely overshadowed by the other two companies!"

"If we achieve great results this time, the leaders won't blame us; instead, they'll praise us for our decisiveness and courage!"

"Not to mention, the song 'Rice Fragrance' is indeed of excellent quality and deserves our enthusiastic promotion!"

And so, in the remaining two hours...

When other companies had already exhausted their advertising funds and were at their last gasp.

The 1500 million yuan in publicity funds for "Rice Fragrance" poured in like a powerful force!

That's why it's skyrocketing!

"Go, 'Rice Fragrance'! You're only 2 hits away from second place!"

In Zhao Lu's office, several people clenched their fists and stared at the screen.

Everyone's face turned red, and veins bulged.

After all, that powerful surge just now propelled him to third place!

We're already in third place, and with the chrysanthemum in second place right in front of us, who can resist the urge to burst it?

Funds for publicity and promotion flowed in continuously.

The number of downloads for "Rice Fragrance" also increased like crazy, as if it had taken a growth stimulant!

635847 times!

635899 times!

636235 times!

……

As the distance to the front shrank, Zheng Ning clenched his fists and held his breath.

He never imagined that his first time as a singer would lead to such a thrilling situation!

Immediately, two large hands, one on the left and one on the right, patted his shoulders heavily.

That was encouragement from Zhao Gang and Zhu Kai.

"Ningzi, don't worry, we'll definitely make it!"

"Yes, don't worry, we'll definitely charge in and take down that Mu Weiwei!"

The three brothers, arms around each other's shoulders, stared at the screen, their eyes brimming with fighting spirit.

Zhao Lu, standing to the side, was biting the nib of her pen tightly, her beautiful eyes bloodshot behind her gold-rimmed glasses.

She poured almost every resource at her disposal into this, and the outcome will depend on the next 20 minutes!

"645875 downloads! Holy crap, only 3000+ downloads left to beat Mu Weiwei's 'Don't Leave Me' in second place!"

Another three and a half minutes have passed.

The gap between the first and second place teams is still around 500 rounds.

But Zheng Ning's "Rice Fragrance" is like a dark horse making its final sprint on the racetrack, sprinting wildly and overtaking them!

Zheng Ning felt as if two large hands on his shoulders were about to dig into his flesh!

"Be gentle, it's made of meat!"

He patted their waists in an annoyed tone, but didn't push their hands away.

After all, it was the support from his brothers that warmed him like a fire on this cold winter night.

It's near, it's near!

We're getting closer to second place!

23:47!

The rise of the top two songs suddenly slowed down!

And their competitive momentum gradually weakened!

"They can't break through!"

Zheng Ning and Zhao Lu exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise and endless anticipation in each other's eyes!

The speed at which "Rice Fragrance" overtook its rivals has greatly accelerated!

647583 times, a difference of 2853 times from the second place!

648578 times, a difference of 2767 times from the second place!

649158 times, a difference of 2533 times from the second place!

……

With each upward jump, the distance between them and the second-place team grew significantly.

Time passed in this anxious waiting and anticipation.

It was 23:55 PM.

The gap between "Rice Fragrance" and the second place has been narrowed to only 577 times!

The gap between the second and first place has narrowed to only 223 times!

At this moment, almost everyone in the entertainment industry across the entire Western Continent was paying attention to this list, hoping to see if a miracle could happen!

Countless writers and journalists are keeping a close eye on the list, planning to create a big news story once the results are released!

Mu Weiwei, who was in second place, was already sweating from clenching her fists.

Meanwhile, Yue Zhisheng, who was in first place, had already held his breath. All the guys in the room were holding their breath and didn't dare to make a sound!

As time ticked by, the gap between the three narrowed further and further.

"I'm going out for some fresh air."

Le Zhisheng took the cigarette case and lighter and headed for the balcony.

At this point, his heart rate had reached over 120, and he could no longer withstand such a stimulating situation.

Mu Weiwei had already put her hands on her eyes and closed them, not daring to look at the screen anymore.

Zheng Ning was embraced by his two good brothers, one on each side, who kept encouraging and comforting him.

It's near, it's near!

They continued to get closer, at one point they were only 200 times apart!

But it was on the first page of the list that no one noticed.

A stubborn figure, like a dark horse standing out, is struggling to rush upwards!

Twenty-third, twenty-second, twenty-first...

That's the silhouette of "Chengdu"!

Before the New Year, Shuncheng TV once again broadcast a commemorative video for the 120th anniversary of the city's founding.

Out of love and attachment to their city, many local viewers gathered with their families to watch the film.

When the song "Chengdu" started playing, the people, who were already familiar with the lyrics after so many days of exposure, all started singing along.

Many of them, while singing, thought of Zheng Ning, a local celebrity.

This is Shuncheng's own star, Shuncheng's own song.

How can we not give him our full support?

Moreover, as many people have heard, this song has also joined the competition for the newcomer champion title.

"Then let's give this song our full support and do our part!"

As a result, countless purchases of real money propelled the song to new heights.

With only 5 minutes left before the leaderboard closed.

To everyone's surprise, "Chengdu" broke into the top 20!

18 people!

15 people!

13 people!

"Quickly, everyone, share this on your WeChat Moments and in your family and friends groups! Let's all support our local singer from Shuncheng!"

At this moment, the people of Shuncheng, represented by Zhao Gang, Zhu Kai, Cheng Hua, and others, united as one and supported the city's heroes with a small amount of money, which was only the price of half a fast food meal.

12, 11, 10!

"Chengdu" made a strong entry into the top 10 at 23:58:35!

"Holy crap, when did Chengdu break into the top 10?"

Zhao Lu, who had been watching the list closely, was also stunned. She was startled by the sudden appearance of this figure!

But then he immediately realized what was happening and grabbed his phone to call headquarters!

"Feed? Minister Sun? Quickly, immediately allocate resources to Chengdu as well! Don't ask why, just hurry! It's climbed to 10th place; we must maintain its ranking!"

Feiyang Entertainment, one of the three giants in the Western Continent, immediately began operating efficiently.

Over the past 10 years, Feiyang has had enough of being humiliated by Guangmang and Xinghai in the field of new talent, and they are determined to win back their pride this time!

Huge amounts of money were quickly poured in, and countless channels began to exert their full force!

The Big Mac has begun to show off its ferocious muscles!

9th!

8th!

7th!

6th!

……

"Alright, keep going at their asses, keep going!"

At this time, Zheng Ning also discovered "Chengdu", which had stormed into the top 10!

The men clenched their fists and roared in low voices.

Only one minute left!
