Chapter 40 The Responses of Competitors
"Look at my song "Song of Youth". It's almost late November, and the number of downloads is only a little over 110,000..."
He was holding his mobile phone, and what was displayed on it was this month's ranking of newcomers and new songs.
Wei Wenbin's name happens to be ranked tenth, with 110,338 downloads, just over 110,000.
"On this day last month, my song downloads exceeded 140,000, and my ranking was eighth, which is much better than my current results. Do you think the company used the promotional resources given to me to give to this company? Is Jiang Kan the new guy?"
Agent Lin Dong did not take his phone, but pinched his brow helplessly.
The kid I brought up was good in every way, but he was too arrogant and looked down on this and that.
Obviously a few months ago, he was just a newcomer to the music scene who had just left a group on a talent show to go solo.
As a result, it has only been a few months and he is already so proud?
Not to mention the company's arrangements, do you, a newcomer, have the right to comment?
Let’s just say that Jiang Kan’s song “Someone Like Me” has excellent lyrics and writing. In addition, his singing skills are also extraordinary. With 60,000 downloads, the ranking of 13th is very logical.
I had also heard of that song, and I was so shocked when I heard it for the first time that I accidentally paid to download it, which contributed to one download for him.
After knowing his age, I kept praising him. It was incredible that such an old singer could have such a young voice.
As he listened, he lamented how such a good singer had never thought of making a debut in the past few decades.
Later, I regretted why I didn't dig out this treasure first, and my colleague Xiao Zhang got it.
"How is that possible? Xiao Wei, don't think too much. The company's resources invested in each singer are calculated separately."
He waved his hand and denied Wei Wenbin's statement.
"Even though it didn't take up any of my resources, the company was too biased and even praised two of his songs at the same time! Look at this "Chengdu", it was recommended on the homepage of Feiyang Video this morning!"
He clicked on the Feiyang Video app again and turned the screen towards Lin Dong.
"You said it's not bias. I wanted to submit two songs and you advised me not to divert my promotional resources and focus on one song. Why can he upload two songs?"
Wei Wenbin, who was wearing a light layer of powder and had a particularly fair face, pouted in dissatisfaction with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
"It's not that singers are not allowed to upload two songs, but everyone uploads only one song in order to concentrate their efforts, so that the song's ranking will rise faster."
Lin Dong did not look at the mobile phone he handed over, but continued busy with the work at hand while answering him.
He had heard about it, and this seemed to be what the higher-ups meant.
He said that he wanted to promote this uncle singer named Jiang Kan on the new artist champion song list at the end of the year, so this month he worked hard to build momentum for him.
I don’t know what the people above are thinking. How good it would be if such good resources are given to the singers I bring. What is the purpose of building momentum for such an old singer?
…
"Hey, Sister Liao, do you know anything about this person named Jiang...Jiang Kan?"
In the dressing room, a tall girl in her mid-twenties, with a high ponytail, and delicate and feminine features was sitting on the makeup chair in front of the mirror, letting the makeup artist carve out her face. Chatting with the agent sitting next to him who is busy working on his laptop.
"Jiang Kan? I know, the company signed a new singer a few days ago, and his song "Someone Like Me" has been rising rapidly in recent days."
Agent Sister Liao stopped typing, looked at her and said.
"Yes, I've seen it too. His songs have risen so fast in the rankings. It seems like the company is trying its best to promote him..."
Liu Jingyu nodded, with a thoughtful expression on her face.
"I've been very busy these days and haven't had time to listen to his songs. Why, he sings very well?"
Sister Liao asked doubtfully. She had been busy promoting her two new singers these past few days. She even had to run to eat and go to the toilet. How could she have time to care about the singers brought by other colleagues?
"Then listen to his song "Someone Like Me", which sounds pretty good. I even recommended this song to my friends!"
She handed the phone to her manager, and the song's play page was already clicked on the screen.
"Okay, then let me listen."
Sister Liao rubbed her swollen eyes, and just took a rest for a while, then took the mobile phone from her.
"You, I don't know whether I should say you are too straightforward or too cute. They are all competitors. You forward other people's songs to your friends... tsk tsk..."
As he spoke, he plugged in the headphones.
When the music started playing, Sister Liao, who originally wanted to give her singer some professional training, suddenly closed her mouth.
After the short prelude, Jiang Kan's melancholy, deep and mellow voice attracted her whole attention.
While listening, he nodded slightly.
When Liu Jingyu saw her like this, she knew she had listened, so she ignored her and started discussing her makeup with the makeup artist.
A few minutes passed, and Sister Liao reluctantly took off her headphones.
"Tsk..."
She smacked her lips.
"It's really good. Although the lyrics and music are not very complicated, they are better at conveying emotions. It well describes the feeling of not being able to appreciate talents, lamenting that one's years are wasted, and feeling both regretful and helpless."
She looked at the screen and saw that the number of downloads of this song had reached more than 65,000, which was only a few hundred times lower than the previous one. It would rise to the twelfth position in minutes.
I have only been releasing songs for a few days, and they are already so good. There are still 11 or 2 days left, so it won’t be difficult to break into the top five.
"Yes, and I also took a look at the comments from netizens on the Feiyang Video App, and they all said that this singer is a forty-year-old uncle, and he can still have such a good voice. It's really a blessing from God.
A typical representative of..."
Liu Jingyu touched her throat and said enviously.
"It's not just about giving me food. In my opinion, this is because God is chasing after me and he won't even eat it! I don't even think about debuting until I'm forty years old. What did I do a few years ago? It's such a waste of talent!"
The young man who put on Liu Jingyu's make-up was full of displeasure, and his tone was a bit harsh as he commented on this singer who has been rising rapidly in the past few days.
"If God had given me such a good voice, I would have dared to apply for a record company at the age of 16, and I would have been popular for more than 20 years. How could I wait until I was 40? Isn't this a waste of talent? It's true that a full man doesn't know a hungry man.
hungry……"
The makeup artist kept chattering away, which made Liu Jingyu and her manager Sister Liao burst into laughter.
"Sister Liao, if you have a chance, you can go find Sister Zhang to get in touch with me. This uncle seems quite interesting. I want to get to know him!"
