The most authoritative song ranking list in China was undoubtedly the Z country TOV platform.
It not only contained the latest song rankings, but also the sales status of each singer’s album. Generally, if a singer from an entertainment company released a new album, his name would definitely be recorded in the TOV.
Currently on the TOV list, the songs with the highest download and purchase rates were always Li Lisi’s songs.
Nothing had changed in the years between her fame and her death.
TOV was an orthodox official website, and you had to pay to download songs there, so Fenghua Entertainment had always used Li Lisi to make money and gain fame, even after her death.
After everything from Fenghua Entertainment became Si Huang’s, the copyright of Li Lisi’s songs was also transferred to Fenghuang Entertainment. Currently, the company name of Fenghuang Entertainment was marked behind Li Lisi’s songs on the TOV rankings.
In addition to the golden chart and annual chart, TOV also had monthly and weekly charts, which were divided into singles download chart and album sales chart.
Si Huang’s “Red Moon” and Zhou Tianhuang’s album “Lawless” were now on the album sales list.
On the weekly list of downloaded singles, “Red Moon” also went up, and Zhou Tianhuang’s title song from the “Lawless” album, which was called “Lawless” also went up.
In this way, the situation of the two seemed to be very similar. They occupied two lists but could not compete for the ranking.
If you really wanted to compare, Si Huang suffered a little bit.
After all, what she sold was a single CD. Generally, if you buy a single CD, it was unnecessary to pay to download it. Unlike Zhou Tianhuang’s album, which contained a total of seven songs, for ordinary people who didn’t like to buy genuine copies, buying it was completely uneconomical to downloading the disc again.
Tian Chengping thought so, and even the finance minister of Fenghuang Entertainment thought so at first, so he didn’t have high hopes for the list at the beginning.
Why do you say it was at the beginning? Because the current situation was that on the TOV list, whether it was the single download listening list or the album sales list, “Red Moon” had done very well!
They all underestimated the loyalty of Si Huang’s fans and her influence among young people and even middle-aged people. In other words, the key to her success lay in the quality of her fans and the middle-aged people.
If you do a careful market survey, you will find that Si Huang’s fans were not only common people, but also wealthy men and women with good family conditions. Unlike other celebrities, where let alone children of wealthy families chasing after them, they had to go and fawn over them themselves. Furthermore, fans who were too young had limited purchasing power, while Si Huang’s fans were all adults with sufficient financial resources. For them, buying an album and paying to download a song were not a big deal at all.
Among this group of people, there were also people who bought a few or even a dozen copies, and paid to download songs again and again, just to get on the charts for their own male idols.
For example, the collective students in Huaxing Art School, the freshmen from Jinghua who were still in the training base, and the brothers and sisters Li Jiming, Li Luona, Ji Xiang and others.
The number of seven-day reservations of 1.5 million showed signs of breakthrough on the first day.
Their side was astonishingly powerful, and Zhou Tianhuang’s statistics were equally good, competing with Si Huang for first place.
Regardless of the subsequent results, the current battle situation was enough to make people dare not underestimate Si Huang anymore – her popularity was no longer flashy, and the number of fans shown on her Weibo were probably real. This data was very valuable. Even though she had only debuted for less than a year and had only appeared in two works, she already had enough strength and confidence!
Suddenly, the number of purchases of “Lawless” on the list suddenly increased by one million, temporarily stabilizing its number one position.
All the people who paid attention to the list were startled, and then they realized that this was either an error in the data or a wealthy person spending a lot of money.
Tian Chengping, who was a little anxious at first, found out and looked at Guo Song, “Did you do it?”
Guo Song shook his head, “It wasn’t me.”
Tian Chengping was a little surprised.
Those who dared to spend such money must be children of wealthy families.
If it wasn’t Guo Song, who would it be?
Even Zhou Tianhuang’s fans had never seen this happen before, so why did it pop up this time?
As soon as they had this idea, they saw that the purchases of “Red Moon” also surged by two million, crushing “Lawless”.
Tian Chengping’s face twitched, feeling that the situation was a bit out of control, and everything that happened was beyond his expectation.
Speaking of these two tycoons who had been speculated by countless people to be fighting openly and secretly, they both knew who the other was and understood each other very well.
“Hey, Zhang Jinyang, are you restless again?” Duan Qizhou turned on the video call and raised his eyebrows at the pale young man.
Zhang Jinyang looked at him through the mobile phone screen with eyes full of resentment but said in a calm tone: “The more you want to embarrass Zhou Tianhuang, the more I have to help him.”
Duan Qizhu smiled with a nasty look on his face, “It seems that you still failed to remember the lesson from last time, do you want to play the Death Race again?”
Zhang Jinyang’s face turned pale again, and he sneered, “Things that can be solved with money are nothing. No matter how much you can fight, you can’t compete with financial resources. And you are not my opponent.”
A cold light flashed in Duan Qizhou’s eyes, and he felt extremely shameful when he thought that because of his grudge relationship, he not only failed to help Si Huang but also caused trouble for her.
“Believe it or not, I dare to rush to your house right now, arrest you and beat you up! This time I will kill you directly. The worst I can do is to spend some time in jail or go abroad to have fun!”
Zhang Jinyang’s face was expressionless. He didn’t move, but his pupils had tightened, “Don’t do this, I’m not afraid of you! I’ll put my words here today, Zhou Tianhuang is guaranteed to win!”
“Haha.” Duan Qizhou laughed angrily, “Okay! You can do it! Don’t say I didn’t remind you that the person you are suppressing is my brother’s crush. Let’s see how you cry in the end!”
After saying this, he turned off the video call.
The Zhang family’s side.
Zhang Jinyang was shocked by Duan Qizhou’s words.
A tall and profound figure appeared in his mind, and his heart couldn’t stop twitching. It was the awe and fear from the bottom of his heart.
Could it be that Si Huang was an arranged state personnel?
Zhang Jinyang’s family was in politics, but his maternal side was in business. With his status and background, he knew a lot. He knew that the country would arrange manpower in all walks of life.
“No, that’s not right. What Mr. Qin dislikes the most is pretty boys!” Zhang Jinyang came to his senses. To be on the safe side, he went to check the relationship between the two. It turned out that there had long been rumors in Jinghua University that Qin Fan couldn’t stand Si Huang, and that he almost tortured her to death.
Since the news at the training base was temporarily closed to the outside world, the freshmen who had taken back the electronic products had already reached a consensus not to expose themselves first, and only wait to give everyone the biggest shock in the end, so the outside world did not know regarding the situation of Qin Fan personally supervising Si Huang’s training, they also didn’t know what Si Huang was doing in the training base, which caused Zhang Jinyang’s misunderstanding of her at this time.
“Trying to deceive me again!” Zhang Jinyang turned red with anger after reading, “Do you think I would mistakenly think that Master Qin abused him just because he looked at him differently? As I said, in Duan Qizhou’s mouth, there is no such thing as the truth!”
In a fit of anger, he not only ranked Zhou Tianhuang’s “Lawless” as the number one, but also directly posted harsh words on TOV’s forum saying Zhou Tianhuang was guaranteed the number one spot. Any cat or dog that dared to provoke him would be killed.
This post quickly became the most popular post and was naturally followed by countless Emperor fans. It also inspired other people to follow suit and add icing on the cake to Zhou Tianhuang’s lawlessness.
Judging from the current situation and momentum, Zhou Tianhuang had firmly won the first place.
Music critics from all walks of life had also begun to write reviews and comparisons of the two songs, with mixed results and similar proportions.
When everyone’s attention was focused on the song charts.
Two sudden incidents caused shock in all parties.
Li Jiming handed the prepared information to the newspapers and media he had contacted for publication, and quietly and successfully spread it without anyone noticing.
After netizens saw this new article, they all shouted that it was so irritating and waited for Dongyu Media to slap themselves in the face.
If this incident shocked the majority of netizens, then the other incident shocked the upper-class circles of the capital – a private forum website called “Beijing Courtyard”, which was a communication circle that could only be entered by the children of the aristocratic families in the capital. Everyone was there, but everyone understood the rules inside. You could follow people, but it was best not to do it like playing on the forums outside. Just @ people if you want, otherwise it would be a tragedy if you fail to get close and make people angry.
On this website, everyone knew that in addition to the “corpse account” of the previous generations, Master Qin and Second Young Master Dou were also characters who had not been online for a hundred years and must not be @ casually.
However, today, they discovered that the cold-blooded and machine-like Second Young Master Dou had updated the status of the account.
There were two website links in total, without a single unnecessary word.
Everyone clicked in with excitement, curiosity, anticipation, and uneasiness, and were shocked to find that these two links were actually a short film viewing address called “Red Moon” and a song download address for “Red Moon”!
Has Mr. Dou’s account been hacked?! Absolutely impossible!
So what does he mean by sending these two links?
So intriguing!
