I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 258 257. Popularity explodes, million people online!
At this time, there were a few more people in Guo Haitao's office.

They were the three contestants Zhou Ming, Chen Xun and Yuan Caiyi who had just come over.

They came here to find Guo Haitao and Luo Sheng to discuss the repertoire for the next performance. They wanted to try bolder adaptations and even wanted to choose original works.

It’s Monday, and they need to make a decision early so they can be ready!

Because the song "Shame" that Jiang Chen performed yesterday was so successful.

They found out through their respective channels that after "Shameless" was uploaded to Penguin Music, the number of downloads exceeded 40 million in one day, and the growth rate was still very fast. The sales volume within a month might exceed 100 million. The download sales of this song could bring Jiang Chen tens of millions in revenue. If other data income such as clicks and plays are taken into account, the total revenue of this song might exceed 100 million.

Because not only has the number of downloads exploded on Penguin Music, the number of views on the entire network has also exploded. You can hear this song by clicking on a video on any short video platform. You can also hear this song everywhere when you walk on the street in real life.

This makes them feel like they are dreaming back to thirty years ago, the golden age of Chinese music.

At that time, people did not have many entertainment options except watching TV and listening to music, so the ratings of popular TV series at that time were very scary, often reaching 50 to 60 percent, or even over 90 percent.

The songs that were popular at that time would also be heard throughout the country, in the streets and alleys.

Since the advent of the Internet age, people have had more entertainment options. Television and music are no longer the only two choices, so both television ratings and music sales have declined significantly. After the advent of the mobile Internet age, the impact on television has been even more severe, and almost no one watches TV anymore.

The advent of formalization of electronic music copyright has actually made musicians' jobs bigger, because there is no more piracy, and every download and even every play on the Internet can be converted into money.

However, the fast-paced era and the super diversity of entertainment will no longer allow a single song to resound throughout the streets of the country.

And now, Jiang Chen did it again!
In other words, this was not the first time Jiang Chen had done it.

Some of the songs Jiang Chen released before were popular all over the Internet and even offline for a while, and could be heard everywhere, but the sales were not as explosive as they are now.

Now, this song "Shame" has an irresistible feeling, as if it has become a powerful force on the Chinese music scene. No one can stop it and can only watch this force impact the entire Chinese music scene.

Since many other singers and musicians cannot stop it, the only choice is to join them!

and so!
Zhou Ming, Chen Xun, and Yuan Caiyi all planned for the next show. They would either choose to adapt a rock song for performance, or create an original rock song to follow the Chinese rock music storm that Jiang Chen had set off.

As soon as the three of them walked into the office, they saw Guo Haitao and Luo Sheng sitting together watching Jiang Chen's live broadcast. The three of them immediately fell silent, looked at each other, walked over and sat next to them, watching Jiang Chen's live broadcast together and listening to Jiang Chen's singing.

Jiang Chen was seen sitting on the sofa, holding a guitar, gently playing a melody that was subtle but just right, making the song itself and the emotions in the song more prominent.

This is typical pop music style!

The reason why pop music is called pop music is because it is meant to be popular. Its purpose is to spread the work as much as possible while also highlighting the star singers themselves.

Therefore, the accompaniment of pop music is generally not too prominent, as that would steal the attention from the singer's voice.

In fact, most people don't pay attention to the accompaniment when listening to pop music, they just remember the singing.

Jiang Chen now plays in this popular style!

The guitar plays a simple but appropriate melody, and the rest is all singing, and the singing is full of emotions that make people feel deeply touched when they listen to it.

"I am a tiny little bird......"

"I want to fly, but I can't fly high..."

"I'm searching, searching, searching, searching, for a warm embrace..."

"Is this request too high?"

"I am a tiny little bird......"

"I want to fly, but I can't fly high..."

"I'm searching, searching, searching, for a warm embrace..."

"Is this request too high?"

The vicissitudes of Jiang Chen's singing left many people speechless.

Luo Sheng said softly: "Without a certain amount of life experience, you can't sing this song with this feeling, nor can you write such lyrics. Jiang Chen is really a genius! If he can write a song like this, it will become a masterpiece."

After hearing this, several people nodded in agreement.

They are all superstars who have sung many works, but they don’t have many representative works like this.

All in all, it’s still not as much as Jiang Chen.

Because every song Jiang Chen has sung over the past month can become a representative work of their careers over the past few decades.

Chen Xun exclaimed: "It's really impossible to connect the current Jiang Chen with the Jiang Chen on the stage yesterday. They are two completely different people! However, he performed both styles to the extreme. He can be said to be the most stylish and best rock singer on stage that I have ever seen in the Chinese music scene. At the same time, he is also the pop singer who writes about his insights into life the best."

"His BJ One Night, Dreaming of the Tang Dynasty, and Yesterday's Shame can be said to be the three best rock songs in the history of the entire Chinese music scene."

"But the songs he sang, such as Ideal Thirty, Horse City, Hills, and Little Bird, are all filled with insights into life! There are also songs such as Childhood and Tomorrow Will Be Better, which are good songs that can represent everyone's memory!"

"He has so many great songs! He should have a higher status and achievements."

Chen Xun said this with a hint of envy in his tone.

If he could have sung as many good works as Jiang Chen, he would definitely be the undisputed number one in the Chinese music scene. Every singer would be inferior to him. He would have won all the music awards in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau over the years.

However, Jiang Chen has only been famous for over a month and has not had time to accumulate experience.

Therefore, Chen Xun felt that Jiang Chen should have a higher status and achievements.

Yuan Caiyi's eyes sparkled and she said with certainty, "In another ten or twenty years, Jiang Chen's status in the Chinese music scene may exceed your imagination, Mr. Chen!"

Chen Xun was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully and nodded affirmatively!

He suddenly remembered that Jiang Chen had no competitors of the same level in this era, and he didn't even have competitors who were one or two levels lower. He was truly a one-of-a-kind talent, and his excellence was beyond compare. So in a dozen years, Jiang Chen would become the only top singer in the memory of several generations in these ten years, and by then, Jiang Chen's status would surpass anyone in the history of Chinese music.

Just like Jiang Chen's current achievements in calligraphy and poetry, he is also surpassing anyone in history.

For the same reason, Jiang Chen didn’t even have a decent competitor in his generation!
Guo Haitao listened to the conversation between several people and stared at the number of people online on the live broadcast screen, which had exceeded 70 million.

The number of people online has reached this level, but for Jiang Chen, it seems that there is no limit, and the growth rate is still not slow. Of course, the traffic from DouYue short video is also very important, otherwise the traffic pool of the live broadcast platform itself will be sucked dry by Jiang Chen, and there will naturally be no growth.

Zhou Ming asked in a low voice: "Did Jiang Chen say what style of work he would perform next time?"

Guo Haitao saw several people looking at him, shook his head and said, "No! However, he will have two more performances, one for the opening and one for the official competition. Don't feel pressured, just give your best."

After hearing this, the three stopped talking, nodded slightly, and then looked at Jiang Chen who was immersed in the music on the live broadcast screen.

The simple guitar sound is still floating.

Jiang Chen's singing voice sounded again. "To all those who know my name..."

"Are you all right..."

When they heard Jiang Chen's singing and the lyrics, they couldn't help but get goose bumps all over their bodies. They always felt that the lyrics were so well-written and Jiang Chen's singing was so good that it touched something in their hearts and made them silent again.

There were also many dense insights on the barrage.

"Lao Jiang sang so well. I was inexplicably moved, but it wasn't the kind of feeling that made me want to cry. Instead, it was a feeling of seeing through the vicissitudes of life. There was a little sadness, but more of a sense of freedom..."

"Lao Jiang's music is really awesome!"

"I was very moved and silent when I listened to it. It made me think of many things."

"I want to cry, but I can't!"

"To all those who know my name, please be nice, this song made my whole body tremble!"

…………

Jiang Chen continued to sing his song with full concentration.

"It's such a small world..."

"We are destined to have nowhere to escape..."

"When I have experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature..."

"When you decide to burn for your ideals......"

"The pressure of life and the dignity of life..."

“Which one is more important………………”

"I am a tiny little bird......"

"I want to fly, but I can't fly high..."

"I am searching, searching for a warm embrace..."

"Is this request too high?"

…………

In Shanghai, Li Yumin and his deputy were both excitedly and nervously staring at Jiang Chen's live broadcast. They were listening to Jiang Chen's singing while watching the constantly changing number of people online on the live broadcast screen!

“Seventy-two million people are online!”

The deputy said in a trembling voice: "That's awesome!"

Li Yumin nodded: "It's incredible, but I think there is still potential to be tapped!"

The deputy asked in amazement: "Can we continue digging?"

Li Yumin's eyes flickered as he said seriously, "Penguin Live was able to reach 57 million people online thanks to Jiang Chen. Our DouYue Live traffic is more than twice that of Penguin Live. Logically, we should be able to reach a record of hundreds of millions of people online!"

hiss!
The deputy couldn't help but gasp after hearing this, and he contributed to global warming. His eyes widened: "Hundreds of millions of people are online?"

is it possible?

The total number of registered users of DouYue Live is only about 500 million to 600 million, most of which are users of DouYue short videos. There are only a few tens of millions of active users at ordinary times, and most of the users are dead numbers.

If there are hundreds of millions of people online at the same time, then we need to attract one-fifth of the registered users!

but……

Even the largest traffic platform in the country, Tencent Communications, which is owned by the Penguin Group, has more than 1.5 billion registered users and only a few hundred million active users on a regular basis. This is already the highest traffic figure in the country and even in the world.

How does DouYue Live have hundreds of millions of people online?

The deputy shook his head slightly. "It was difficult. Jiang Chen was giving out prizes through a lottery on Penguin Live at the time. Everyone knew that Jiang Chen's prizes were valuable, so a large number of new users were attracted to register and go to the live broadcast room to participate in the lottery. That's why there were a terrifying 57 million people online at the time. As far as I know, the number of new registered users on Penguin Live at that time exceeded 100 million in one day, which brought them a lot of traffic."

"So, even though they invested a lot of money in Jiang Chen, the return Jiang Chen gave them was worth it."

Li Yumin immediately said, "Then what if Jiang Chen also gives away his works in a lottery on our platform?"

The deputy was stunned for a moment, then asked: "When? Mr. Li, have you communicated with Jiang Chen?"

Li Yumin shook his head: "Not yet, but I believe Jiang Chen is not lying. He said he would send out more works, so he will do it sooner or later."

The deputy smiled bitterly. He thought that Li Yumin had been in contact with Jiang Chen and knew the inside information. He knew when Jiang Chen would really send out another work.

Unexpectedly, it was just Li Yumin's understanding of what Jiang Chen said.

However, the deputy was not optimistic!
because……

Jiang Chen's works are really valuable.

He didn't think Jiang Chen would continue to give away works by lottery in the live broadcast room in the future.

This is human nature.

Even if the world's richest man has a fortune of hundreds of billions of dollars, he would not hold a raffle and give away prizes worth $500 million.

at this time!

Jiang Chen's singing in the live broadcast room has gradually slowed down, and it seems that he has almost vented all his emotions.

"I'm searching, searching, searching, for a warm embrace..."

"Is this request too high?"

"Is this request too high?"

Jiang Chen's singing gradually stopped, his fingers slowly moved across the guitar, and the sound of the guitar slowly disappeared.

The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room increased several times in an instant, and various large reward messages exploded.

Li Yumin and his deputy knew that Jiang Chen’s reward income today would definitely be very scary.
