Start with a pop song

Chapter 214 Zhao Qi: I'm famous; Jingting is online; the platform is upset; the whole network is asking Gou Ge to release a song
That afternoon.

When Zhao Qi arrived at the singer-songwriter recording site, he was immediately surrounded by the media.

There were also a large number of crazy fans holding light signs.

Even though he knew he was going to become famous... no, he was already famous, but Zhao Qi was still shocked by the scene.

"When did I have so many crazy fans?"

He even took a special look at the signboards and found that there was nothing wrong with it!
That is indeed his name!

There is even a "loving wife" army.

Damn, isn’t this nickname a bit too unique?

While feeling a little disgusted, Zhao Qi was ecstatic in his heart.

Say something.

Even if an old brand like Times Media has a new owner, it still has a strong foundation in hype operations.

They are very good at this kind of forced deification.

In the entire entertainment industry, Times says it is second and no one dares to say it is first.

Not even starlight!
Just like this time, it was a complete sneak attack.

Not to mention people outside, even Zhao Qi himself didn't know.

Zhao Qi originally had only one assistant, and no one paid attention to him during the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal. He just stood there like a minion and was finally fired. Now he is surrounded by people.

Assistant, agent, bodyguard.

The scenery is infinite!

The scene was terrifying.

To be honest, even though we know that this kind of overnight fame has a lot of manipulation involved, few people can really hold on to it.

Zhao Qi was also a little bit overwhelmed.

Even if he reminded himself in his heart.

All of this was given by the company!
Like Sun Kai, if he shows signs of disobedience, the company can take him back at any time.

You must always remain humble.

however.

Sometimes.

It doesn't mean you can keep it just because you want to.

During the interview, the first question made Zhao Qi angry.

"Zhao Qi, I'm a reporter from Southern Entertainment. I want to ask, do you think you're better than Teacher Song Dao?"

Damn, isn’t this a reporter arranged by the company?

Where did this small fish get in?
Calling me Zhao Qi and calling him Teacher Song Dao, who are you looking down on?

However, Southern Entertainment is not a small media outlet. No matter how dissatisfied Zhao Qi is, he has to keep a decent smile on his face.

"Song Dao is very good. We participated in the last season of singer-songwriters together. I don't think I am worse than anyone else. We each have our own strengths."

"Then do you think you are a creator at the same level as him?" the other party asked.

Pretty?
Zhao Qi was furious.

Looking at the plain-looking female reporter in front of me, why the hell is she here to scare people when she is so ugly?
"Why doesn't it count?"

Zhao Qi said: "Songs composed by Song Dao have topped the major music charts. Songs composed by me have also topped the charts! This shows that my level of creation is similar to his..."

At this time, his agent came over and interrupted him in time.

Give the opportunity to ask questions to the media reporters they have communicated with in advance.

If I continue talking about this, I will easily lose popularity among the public.

——Don’t you have any idea about your creative level?

The female reporter from Southern Entertainment was obviously up to no good and didn't look like a good person at first glance. Maybe she was hired by Fei Yang!
The second one, also a reporter that Times Media had communicated with, asked much friendlier questions.

"First of all, congratulations to Mr. Zhao Qi for his song "Blue Planet" successfully topping the charts. I would like to ask, what was your inspiration and source for this song?"

This is normal!

Zhao Qi followed the script he had prepared in advance.

Answer in a concise and comprehensive way that showcases your talents.

He then answered several questions from the media pointed out by his agent. The questions they asked were very friendly and Zhao Qi answered them fluently.

The young man had slightly dark circles under his eyes, but he covered them up with makeup, and he still looked tall and handsome as he stood there.

He finally looks like the "new king".

Just as the agent was about to end today's interview and was about to hug him and leave with his assistant.

Suddenly someone asked loudly: "Zhao Qi, may I ask, do you think you can compare with the creative level of Shui Ji San Qian?"

Damn, you guys aren't done yet, are you?
Zhao Qi didn't want to answer at first. This was an obviously tricky question, and he was not a fool.

He planned to leave quickly under the escort of his agent and assistant.

The man shouted again, "Many netizens online said that your song last night was a stolen number one, purely out of money, and it can't be compared with Shui Ji San Qian and Song Dao. Where do you get the confidence to think you are not inferior?"

What the hell!

Many people couldn't help but look at the warrior who was speaking.

The few true fans of Zhao Qi at the scene even started cursing.

Most of the people holding light signs were hired with money, and they were not paid for cursing, so they were all just watching the fun.

Zhao Qi's agent and assistant became angry on the spot.

The media they contacted didn't have these people at all, where the hell did they come from?

Zhao Qi looked very ugly.

From today on, I will definitely be a top star.

Song Dao? What is Song Dao?
So what if he is a major shareholder of Feiyang?

How can a small company like that compare to the Times Media behind me?

What’s the point of three thousand water strikes?

It's just a hidden thing!
He stopped, and without waiting for his agent and assistant to react, he turned around and spoke coldly.

"My song is now at the top of the charts! I don't want to mention others, I just want to say, if you have the ability, step me down! If you don't have the ability, stop talking!"

this moment.

Zhao Qi felt like he was on fire.

Speak your mind.

I am so domineering!
I was young, my song became a hit, and overnight I became as popular as any of the top singers.

Three fans can’t beat my one.

What else do you have to say?
Is Wang Xiaobo really that awesome?
Is Sun Kai really that awesome?

After all, isn't it the capital that supports it?
So it's no problem for you to be the top star, but not for me?
Why?
When Mr. Zhang called him this morning to congratulate him, he also told him a secret.

"Your song will dominate the charts for at least a month! Song Dao, Shui Ji San Qian, Lin Fei, none of them can match your performance!"

"In addition, the company has arranged a drama for you that is bound to become a hit. Now the entire crew is waiting for you. After you participate in the singer-songwriter session, you can join the crew and start filming immediately!"

This is what the big boss told him himself!

I promised him personally!
As for whether one can act or not, does that matter?
Therefore, Zhao Qi knew better than anyone that he was going to become famous!

The bright red kind!

Even if he signed a 190% profit-sharing contract with the company, so what?

Even if he earns hundreds of millions a year, he still has tens of millions!
Can I make so much money in my lifetime by following a lowly guy like Ma Shen?

……

The video of Zhao Qi being interviewed soon appeared on major online platforms.

That "domineering" response quickly spread.

A large number of navy troops cheered for him.

For example: Zhao Qi and Song Dao debuted at the same time, and their creative skills are actually similar; Song Dao's songs topped the charts, and Zhao Qi also topped the charts, and the summer music scene is flourishing; Shui Ji San Qian has many classic songs, but isn't that all? We can't expect everyone to like him, and we can't like Zhao Qi, a new generation, right?

It's just a scam anyway.

In the field of creation, Song Dao and Shui Ji San Qian are the ones that will not be let go.

In the field of singing, he is stepping on Sun Kai and Wang Xiaobo.

"Haha, Zhao Qi is a true professional singer, and his singing skills are not inferior to those top singers at all."

"He is still young and has unlimited potential in the future."

"Please don't compare Zhao Qi's singing skills with those of a top star, okay? This is like challenging someone's profession with your hobby."

"Top stars have singing skills? How hilarious! Listen carefully to "Blue Planet" and learn from it!"

Everyone in the industry can see that Times Media is determined to promote Zhao Qi to become the new top star.

Because at the same time, some gossip about Wang Xiaobo and Sun Kai was also revealed.

It is said that the top stars of these two big entertainment companies all became a little arrogant after becoming famous.

He ran away because he was dissatisfied with the profit-sharing model; he had a bad temper and acted like a big shot; he refused to obey the various arrangements made by his agent.

But the fans of these two are also very powerful.

Quickly counter these rumors.

"When did my brother start to act like a big shot? He is always humble and polite in every occasion, but he is just slandering me without any evidence, right?"

"Don't follow the arrangements? That depends on what the arrangements are. If a 180-pound fat woman wants to sleep with my brother at his dinner, why don't the executives of your company go themselves?"

"What do you mean by not being satisfied with the current profit-sharing model? Isn't that funny? My brother has become famous through his own efforts, so why should he endure being exploited by the agency? You won the sales championship, so why don't you ask the company to raise your salary?"

"Don't be afraid, brother. We will always support you!"

"The Aibo Army will always support my brother!"

……

Linchuan Group.

In a large office area that had been requisitioned by "Her Royal Highness the Princess," cheers suddenly erupted.

Song Dao, Lin Fei, Yan Yu, Li Qingqing, Guo Qingsong and others were all present.

Witness the chief engineer who developed the "Quiet Listening" software use his mouse to open the small software with a green background and a headphone logo on the computer screen.

The images were projected onto a huge projection screen.

There is a row of function bars on the left.

Functions such as like, collect, recommend, create your own playlist, and search for singers.

The right side is an enlargement of the left side.

Below are some settings for adjusting the sound quality.

The entire page is clean, convenient and simple.

The mobile version is different from the computer version.

But all functions are also very simple.

Very easy to operate.

After clicking on the ranking list, the list is divided into song categories.

But there is only one way to calculate it: the number of views!
There is not even any distinction between popular internet hits.

No matter whether those songs are catchy songs or not, as long as enough people play and listen to them, they can make the list.

Simple and rude!
Moreover, the number of listeners of this software is updated in real time.

In fact, the product manager that Yan Yu found was not optimistic about this version.

I think the functionality is too rudimentary.

There are not too few settings for cutting leeks.

But almost none!

Ordinary registered users will be given High Quality sound quality.

Is there anyone who is still a member here?
Not to mention that according to what Mr. Song and Mr. Yan said, there is only one type of member who listens quietly.

The annual fee is sixty-six.

You can listen directly to the highest quality audio sources.

If you download it, a music package of 300 songs only costs 88 yuan.

On average, a song costs less than 30 cents!
Download individually, 50 cents per song.

Then there is a purchase portal for vinyl records and CDs.

Yes, you need to make an appointment.

Can this kind of software make money no matter how stable it is?
Not to mention the product manager, even Guo Qingsong and Li Qingqing had this doubt.

I feel the price is too low!
Although they all admit that price wars can indeed attract a large number of people who are looking for bargains.

But the problem is that people are actually inertial.

Once you get used to one software, you usually won't use another.

Although the Feiyang faction is strong enough, the people in the Feiyang faction, including those on the periphery, are still too thin for the entire music industry.

Song Dao did not say that he had ever talked with old hands like Zeng Wei when he was in Hong Kong.

Veteran artists such as Fang Zexi, Tan Lin and Xie Xiaofeng also expressed their willingness to help.

So Mr. Guo and Mr. Qing are both a little nervous at the moment.

At this time, the chief engineer entered Song Dao's name in the singer search column.

The next moment, all of Song Dao’s songs appeared directly on the big screen according to their release time.

From "See Through Love and See Through You" to the two new songs released recently for the graduation season, "You, My Deskmate" and "The Crossroads Where the Phoenix Flowers Bloom".

Clearly visible, presented before everyone.

Then you can see that there are three ways to sort the songs under Song Dao's name.

The first is the release time; the second is the number of views; the third is custom!
This greatly facilitates people's choice when listening to music.

So this software, although seemingly simple, actually has its own characteristics.

The chief engineer randomly double-clicked his mouse and opened the song "Fake Monk".

In the huge and empty office, the top-notch speakers borrowed from Linchuan Group suddenly emitted a prelude with excellent sound effects.

The beautiful melody made everyone present feel refreshed.

[I want to walk from south to north, and from day to night. I want people to see me, but not know who I am.]

The song is full of power and the slightly hoarse voice is perfectly presented.

There was a burst of warm applause at the scene.

Especially this group of software engineers, each of them had tears in their eyes.

I wasn’t moved by the song.

Rather, it is the mixed feelings of finally being liberated after being "exploited".

Princess Yan really gave a lot of money!

But in recent days, the almost sleepless work has made this group of people always in a state of high mental tension and on the verge of collapse.

Repeated inspection, testing, continuous adjustment and optimization.

Others listen to songs, but they listen to "fate"!

Next, everyone used ordinary computer speakers, mobile phone speakers, various headphones, etc. to experience the different types of sound effects brought by different players.

Willing to spend money, find the best team, and buy the best equipment; having a background, you can own the best server.

The result is different!
Even though it seems a little rushed, the results are in no way inferior to any music player software currently on the market.

Even when using a professional player, the effect is better than other products in the ears of professionals or audiophiles!
This is not because the compression and decoding technology of "Quiet Listening" is stronger, it's simply because of the money!
Princess Yan finally developed a sense of career.

Lao Zhou's support for her is completely selfless and without regard for the price!
The moment when a music software can use the best, most expensive and top-level products in every aspect.

How could it be bad?

At this time, the chief engineer played "Shanghai Bund" on the speakers.

When the passionate and majestic prelude sounded, everyone present was excited!
It even triggered a chorus!

There was a sparkling mist in Lin Fei's eyes.

close!

It’s really close!
She is getting closer and closer to the dream that has been buried deep in her heart since the day she debuted!

Yan Yu couldn't help but hug Song Dao tightly.

Amid the deafening sound of music.

Yan Yu whispered in Song Dao's ear: "Hubby, we're done!"

……

February 2026, 7.

The 6th day of the 2th lunar month.

Wednesday.

This day is destined to be recorded in the history of Xiaguo music.

But at this moment, I didn’t realize that there was anything special about this ordinary midweek day.

The hot searches on the Internet are still all related to Zhao Qi.

His song "Blue Planet" still dominates the charts on major music platforms and ranks first.

"You, My Deskmate" and "The Crossroads Where the Phoenix Flowers Bloom" have completely disappeared.

The two songs by Sun Kai and Wang Xiaobo are still very strong.

Ranked second and third.

From fourth to tenth, almost all of them are young talents from Times Media and Star Entertainment.

Between the tenth and thirtieth places are actually popular singers from Times, Star, and several other large and medium-sized entertainment companies.

Yes.

Those songs of Feiyang have completely disappeared.

The reason why Sun Kai and Wang Xiaobo can still remain "strong" is entirely due to their two terrifying fan clubs.

The purchasing power of this group of people is truly amazing.

Despite the intentional pressure from the two companies, it still made a breakthrough.

As for those other songs, they are the result of "blending" between various companies and major music platforms.

Although it is impossible for them to get long-term rewards from chart-topping like Times Media.

But in the current situation of "group fighting" against the Feiyang faction, it is still possible to get this treatment temporarily.

These music platforms have no grudge against the Feiyang system.

Not only do we have no hatred, we even love each other very much!
Love deeply, love passionately!
But the people of Feiyang’s faction are so naughty!
Disobedient children must be disciplined.

Especially since they recently discovered that fan organizations of almost all singers under Feiyang have begun to promote privately: Our songs do not need to spend money to be on the charts, and we don’t even need to watch advertisements!
Damn, you’ve grown wings and want to rebel, right?

Do you know that whoever controls the channels is the boss these days?

If you have the ability, you can learn from some singers, become an internet celebrity directly, and release new songs on the audio-visual and Woxiu platforms!

That's why those songs by popular singers, young actors and actresses that are humming and making no sense have made the list.

The Feiyang faction was completely wiped out.

For the companies behind the singers, the most they have to bear is a few points of individual tax, and all the money spent will be returned in another way.

What are you afraid of?
Just do it!

In fact, facing the Feiyang faction's poor reaction, many people were a little worried.

……

In the conference room of Penguin Music.

There is a heated discussion going on at the moment.

"The Music Association asked us to release our playback data? Ha, what a foolish idea!"

"How funny! In what capacity do they order us around?"

"It's just an association. Do you really think you are some high and mighty official?"

“People also suggest…”

"Suggestions are not acceptable either. Why should we open this up? If we really open up the viewing data, and they adjust the rankings based on this, won't Feiyang's ranking rise instantly?"

"Ignore it!"

"Yes, just ignore it, what can it do to us? Even if the music association is very broad, can it still control us?"

Almost everyone scoffed at the letter sent by the Xiaguo Music Association.

Before the big list was launched, when we said we wanted to capture their public data, many people refused to agree.

Isn't it obvious that this is a fight for the right to speak and for interests?

It is said that the big charts are not profitable.

If you organize an annual celebration for the Xia Guo Music Association and have a big list as endorsement, who can compete with you?
But at that time, the big bosses of his own and other platforms were all inspired by a mysterious force.

Their hearts were baptized and they all agreed.

But how can I not feel angry?

This time, under the suggestion of the mysterious boss behind Times Media, the two parties hit it off immediately!
Don’t ask, it’s just a business behavior!

So at this moment, this group of people are quite proud.

Because of their "efforts", this list has turned into a joke.

It can’t be turned off, and it can’t be changed.

Now we still want to save ourselves and hope they can provide song playback data.

Get the hell away from here.

Then the Feiyang system was mentioned again.

"It seems now that the lesson learned from Lin Fei's experience back then was not profound enough." Someone sneered.

"Feiyang is indeed quite powerful now. They have people supporting them from behind, so they are fearless."

"Haha, they are just aloof, just proud, just they don't treat their fans as leeks, it's so fucking funny!"

"So what if someone supports us? Now it's a market economy, and we are all engaged in business. I hope they can hold on for a while longer."

"They will definitely persevere. Right now, they haven't been affected too much. Even if big names like Lin Fei, Song Dao, Qiu Xinyao, and Sun Meiqi don't release new songs for a while, it won't be a big problem. New generation singers like Hu Wei, Kong Xi, and Zhong Yutong are also very popular and can persevere for a short time."

"Damn, where do they get so many good songs? They released songs too close together before. There are rumors that Shui Ji San Qian is actually Song Dao's pen name. Is it true?"

“I don’t know whether it’s true or not. I only know that there’s no need to be optimistic about them. Their current state won’t last too long. When the songs of the top-tier, second-tier, first-tier, and third-tier artists trained by the major companies on the charts continue to dominate the charts, the Feiyang group will sooner or later come back to beg. I look forward to the moment when they bow their heads…”

The conference room was very lively.

Even the executives who are usually a bit taciturn couldn't help but talk excitedly at this moment.

In their view, the major music platforms, plus a number of entertainment companies, any one of which is much larger than Feiyang.

With such a terrible advantage, I can’t imagine how I can lose!
But at this moment, someone suddenly held a cell phone and shouted in panic.

"My grass!"

Everyone turned their eyes to the vice president.

Someone joked: "Why are you so startled?"

Some people also laughed and said, "Has someone in the Feiyang faction collapsed?"

The vice president frowned, looked at the message on his phone, and said seriously: "Fuck, Fei Yang left the platform himself!"

"what?"

"how is this possible?"

"Are you kidding me?"

In the conference room, all the executives looked incredulous.

Another person said: "Don't make such a joke. What do they use as a platform? Do they really think it's that easy to make a music app?"

The vice president did not say anything and projected his mobile phone onto the big screen in the conference room.

The screen displayed was the software download rankings in the app store on his phone.

This ranking can only show the top 100.

Coincidentally, an app called "Quiet Listening" is ranked 100th.

A green icon with an over-ear headphone in the middle.

The vice president said: "Someone just sent me a message saying that a music app suddenly appeared, which was full of songs by Feiyang singers. Let me see what's going on."

The expressions of the others instantly turned serious. They took out their mobile phones, found "Quiet Listening" and started downloading.

A few minutes later.

Song Dao, Lin Fei, Sun Meiqi, Qiu Xinyao, Zhong Yutong...even Xiang Rui and Leng Suning.

The songs of these people come from different people's mobile phones.

"Don't cry, my friend..."

“I haven’t felt it well yet…”

"You are not truly happy~"

Some people like to scroll through the progress bar, while others like to listen from the beginning.

For a moment, the only sound in the meeting room, which had been bustling and noisy just now, was the singing of these people.

I don’t know who accidentally turned up the volume.

——In your heart, flying freely, the brilliant stars roam forever...

All the executives of Penguin Music were stunned in an instant.

"No, these bastards, when did they make the software?"

"Damn it, they've already rebelled!"

"Fuck, there's really nothing wrong with suppressing them!"

After coming to their senses, many people were filled with indignation.

At this time, the vice president who first learned about this matter said faintly: "Have you noticed that this software is very simple and convenient, but it is very well made?"

Everyone was silent.

They are professionals in this field and can tell the quality of a music software at a glance.

At this time, their boss said, "What's the big deal about making a music software? With only a few kittens like Feiyang, how can they expect to compete with us? Immediately contact the companies behind all the singers. Whoever cooperates with Jingting will have his songs removed from Penguin Music!"

A vice president said coldly: "Contact Yiwangyun and other music platforms to form an offensive and defensive alliance. Whoever dares to sell the copyright to Jingting will have his song kicked off all platforms!"

So what if you have made the software?
In the face of this general trend, can you compete with all platforms with a software that has just started public beta?
If this isn't nipped in the bud, it will inevitably become a serious problem in the future!
Then someone exclaimed: "The Feiyang group, including many people from the Xiaguo Music Association, are posting articles recommending Jingting!"

……

The Internet was calm in the morning.

The weather suddenly changed in the afternoon!

The first place where the fire started was the Water Expo!

Song Dao, who already has more than 50 million fans, suddenly posted a blog post.

[Future new songs will be exclusively released on "Jingting". The old songs of me, Lin Fei and others are already there. Friends who don't know Jingting yet, open your mobile app store and search for it. This is a very useful music listening software. It is still in the public beta stage, and all the audio sources are free! ]

Such a simple blog post is like a terrifying depth bomb.

On this weekday afternoon, Shuibo's server was paralyzed!

at the same time.

Song Dao’s video teaching everyone how to download and use “Quiet Listening” was also released on the two major short video platforms, Audio-visual and Woxiu.

Not only the music circle, but also the entertainment circle, which had not made much noise recently except for Zhao Qi, Wang Xiaobo and Sun Kai competing for the top spot, was completely blown up.

Feiyang's fans, who had been feeling aggrieved for many days and were full of anger, also went crazy.

"Fuck, you are worthy of being my brother. You have been suppressed by all the major music platforms for so many days, but you have been silent all the time. I thought you were just scared, but now you have made a move like a nuclear bomb!"

"A big event in the entertainment industry. A group of top singers, after being suppressed by the platform, actually turned around and created one themselves. Awesome, really awesome!"

"Who laughed at Song Dao before? He even came out to apologize. Holy shit, I'm really shocked. Song Dao is so brave!"

"No, I checked. The company behind this software is called Jingting Culture Media. I searched the website and found that this company is 100% controlled by a foundation in Hong Kong. Does this have anything to do with Song Dao?"

"How can it not be related? It's just that they didn't put their names on it."

"I've downloaded the software, and I can only say, it's awesome, super fucking awesome! Not only is it simple and convenient, but it's now in public beta, so you can listen to songs with the highest quality. My crappy phone can actually tell the difference, no wonder so many people have signed up for membership..."

“I have downloaded it, but why are many people’s songs not available here?”

"Since we've already talked about the public beta, I guess we'll have to do it slowly, right? Besides, aren't these people from Feiyang enough for you to listen to?"

"Support with practical actions, I have downloaded and used it! Apart from other things, this software is really easy to use, simple, and has good sound quality. I checked it out and it said that ordinary registered users can listen to HQ-level sound quality. Damn, it's really conscientious!"

"Hey, why is there Jiang Ying's song here?"

"Oh my god, there are songs by Yao Guohua, Chen Mingchuan, and Xie Xiaofeng."

"I tried searching for Fang Zexi and Tan Lin. I didn't expect that I could find them right away. All their classic songs are here. There are so many of them that Penguin Music and Yiwang Cloud don't have them!"

This sudden and explosive news quickly became a hot topic.

Because it was not just Song Dao who posted the article, but the entire Feiyang faction, including peripheral members related to the Feiyang faction, and people who had a good relationship with Song Dao and Lin Fei.

For example, those directors, and top stars in the film and television industry like Qin Ge.

What shocked and even made many people feel unbelievable was that even Wang Xiaobo and Sun Kai reposted Song Dao’s blog post!
This is not twenty years ago.

Not even ten years ago.

Today, the Internet has penetrated into real life to the point of being omnipresent.

Especially the appearance of audio-visual and me show.

It has infinitely narrowed the distance between the Internet and reality.

A piece of news that goes viral can spread across the country within an hour, not overnight.

Working hours?

Excuse me, I’m taking a paid shit with my phone.

Is it okay to brush up on the audio and video?

I accidentally saw a great piece of news and shared it with my friends. It’s not excessive at all and very reasonable, right?

Why do stupid competitors hate the Feiyang system so much?

Not only is this group of people out of control, but their influence is also so huge.

This was a simple music software that many product managers thought was not very good and that Guo Qingsong and Li Qingqing thought was difficult to promote. However, the terrifying energy it exploded in an instant shocked everyone!

There are obviously not many singers on this list. Apart from the Fei Yang group, there are only a few veteran Hong Kong superstars, plus the songs of Jiang Ying, Zhang Huan and Ma Shen who somehow got in.

But this simple interface, comfortable search engine, and superb sound quality immediately attracted the attention of countless users.

The most terrifying thing is actually the "retention rate".

As we all know, music software is usually opened only when we feel like it, and we get tired of it after listening to one or two songs.

Since "Quiet Listening" was launched in major app stores, more than 50% of the users who downloaded it have used it for more than two hours!

And in the background, you can see it more clearly!
……

It was already eight o'clock in the evening.

This floor of Linchuan Group is brightly lit.

In the huge open-plan office, boxes of lunch boxes are stacked against the wall. Even with the most advanced fresh air system, the room is still filled with a faint smell of food.

All the technicians are busy.

Staring at various data in the background.

Song Dao and others were all there, and no one left.

From the afternoon to the evening, I just listened to various data being reported.

“Downloads exceed one million!”

“Downloads exceed three million!”

"Over five million!"

"Is this crazy? It's almost 10 million!"

"Over 10 million!"

By seven o'clock in the evening, the number of downloads of Jingting had exceeded 10 million.

What’s even more frightening is that until now, the growth rate has shown no sign of slowing down.

On the contrary, because it was time to rest at night, the speed became even faster.

According to this trend, it will exceed 20 million by midnight!

When the number of downloads exceeded 10 million, Yan Yu first asked Song Dao in a low voice, and then said loudly: "Everyone's bonus will be doubled!"

The ceiling of the office was almost blown off.

Fortunately, the sound insulation of the Linchuan Group's building is good enough. Even so, the Linchuan Group's staff on other floors can faintly hear the crazy cheers.

Someone complained directly.

Then I was told: That’s the eldest lady’s team.

I almost peed myself.

What is even more amazing than this seemingly irrational, viral-like number of downloads is the retention rate!

When the number of downloads exceeded 10 million at around 7 o'clock, the two-hour retention rate jumped from 50% to 60%!

Listen to the rankings.

"Blue and White Porcelain" topped the list.

What followed were not the two graduation songs.

It is not a song sung by Lin Fei, Qiu Xinyao and Jiang Ying.

Rather, it is the old songs by the veteran artists Fang Zexi, Tan Lin and Xie Xiaofeng that have been popular for decades!

Their comment section is also extremely lively.

"I am in tears. I was still in middle school when I first listened to Fang Zexi. Now my son is already in high school. I almost forgot that warm voice accompanied me throughout my youth."

"Principal Tan's songs are still as good as ever. They are said to be extremely classic, but wasn't Principal Tan the same back then?"

"Xie Xiaofeng, my grandfather's favorite, and my favorite too, it's really beautiful! It's a pity that my parents like the Five Heavenly Kings, they are so superficial!"

"I remember when I first listened to Yao Guohua, many people laughed at me for having no taste, saying that Fang Zexi and Tan Lin were the real kings, but I just liked Yao's voice. Listening to it again now, I feel like I've returned to my youth decades ago."

"Thanks to Jingting, I found the feeling of my youth again. I am already over 60 years old this year, and I don’t understand those music software. This is really too simple. I like Xie Xiaofeng, Fang Zexi, and Tan Lin. Their songs are timeless!"

"It has to be my Gou Ge. This software is so simple, so simple that it actually made me notice for the first time that Gou Ge has released so many songs. He can even hold a concert now!"

“Although this software is very simple, it is really easy to use. However, what I want to say is that its most amazing feature is the sound quality! Although the public beta is free and you can listen to the top-level sound quality, have you noticed that its lowest sound quality is HQ!”

"Hahaha, am I the only one who noticed that the ranking of Jingting is based solely on the number of plays?"

"I've seen this a long time ago. Not only is it based on the number of views, but the number of views is also updated in real time. This is really amazing. It requires powerful hardware support and the best servers."

"I just don't know if the membership fee will be very expensive when it starts to be charged. I really hope it can be free forever, it's so comfortable to use!"

"It's unrealistic to keep it free forever. The server costs alone would be an astronomical figure every year..."

……

The hot searches for Audiovisual, My Show, Water Expo, and Do You Know? belong to quiet listening on this night.

The headlines on several different websites are surprisingly consistent.

#Listen quietly#
What about the new king Zhao Qi "ascending the throne" and the gossip and rumors about Wang Xiaobo and Sun Kai.

All of you stand aside!
Regarding this music software that suddenly emerged and became instantly popular, almost everyone believes that it is related to the Feiyang system.

This is also confirmed by the fact that Song Dao and his group were the first to publicize the matter.

Therefore, even though it cannot be directly reflected in the query software, Jingting is also regarded as the counterattack of the Feiyang group against major platforms.

In the face of this counterattack, the ascension of a new king and the competition among the top players all seem so pale and powerless.

This is a life-and-death struggle between capitals!
This night, all music platforms will have no peace.

To use a highly praised comment in the hot search:

Make me work overtime!
……

Nine p.m.

Zhou Linchuan, who had finally finished his own work, came to visit everyone accompanied by a vice president of the group, without even bringing his secretary.

When any superstar sees a business tycoon of his level, they have to stand up immediately and smile warmly.

Even many arrogant second-generations, when they talk and brag in some high-end occasions.

Whenever someone says: Hey, that’s Mr. Zhou!

The scene becomes quiet in an instant.

Then everyone will look in that direction.

It's not flattery, nor envy, but awe!
Many people say that the real foundation of Linchuan Group is not at the level of hundreds of billions.

But trillions!

Linchuan Group, which is involved in many fields such as chips, artificial intelligence, big data, new energy, and even high-tech biotechnology, not only has an extremely strong foundation, but also has unlimited future.

"Dad, why are you here?"

Yan Yu was a little surprised when he saw his old man.

Because Zhou Linchuan has never been interested in the entertainment industry.

Song Dao and Lin Fei also hurried over to say hello.

"Mr. Zhou."

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

"Why are you two being so formal? Just call me uncle," Zhou Linchuan said with a relaxed smile, nodded to the others, and then looked at Yan Yu, Song Dao and Lin Fei, "I heard that the public beta of your software is very good, come and take a look."

At this time, except for a few technicians who were unable to leave, everyone else in the room stood up and looked at Mr. Zhou in awe.

The senior officials on the Internet are not big officials. In real life, even a deputy section-level official is out of reach.

If it weren't for the eldest lady's blessing and the use of the office in the Linchuan Group's headquarters building, most of the people present might never have the opportunity to see Zhou Linchuan so closely in their entire lives.

Yan Yu was in a good mood and said with a smile: "The current download volume is over 12 million, and it will definitely exceed 2,000 tomorrow!"

Zhou Linchuan nodded and said, "Is the decoration over there about to be completed?"

Yan Yu glanced at him and asked, "Why are we affecting others here?"

Song Dao and Lin Fei were both speechless.

I thought to myself that this afternoon might have been greatly affected.

The vice president next to Zhou Linchuan laughed and said, "There are a lot of people slacking off at work today and listening to music on Jingting!"

Actually, this is a joke. Although Linchuan Group is very humane and has a flexible working system, there are very few people who slack off when they are actually at work.

Who would have the mood to do anything else if they don’t finish the work at hand?
Zhou Linchuan looked at his daughter helplessly. She is old now and her mentality is completely different from when she was young.

The more I look at my daughter, the more I like her.

"It does have some impact. Anyway, everyone who needs to know now knows where the Jingting software was born. So you can move back if you want. The building is yours. You can arrange it yourself."

"Mr. Zhou is so generous!" Yan Yu praised his father with a smile.

To her, these are no big deal.

Whether she wants it or not, the entire Linchuan Group belongs to her.

What's the missing building?

However, she was very pleased with Lao Zhou's correct attitude.

Zhou Linchuan didn't stay here for too long. He chatted briefly with Song Dao and Lin Fei, invited them to his home, and then left.

Song Dao and his friends stayed here until eleven o'clock.

I watched as the technical department made various repairs and adjustments based on the information and data fed back from the public beta.

The software runs smoothly and I feel relieved.

……

Bai Yue was driving a four-seater commercial vehicle.

Song Dao sat in the passenger seat with the chair pushed back.

Lin Fei and Yan Yu sat in the back row, both looking tired.

Even though it seemed like no one did anything that day.

But after being highly concentrated all day, I feel tired now.

"I thought it would be successful, but I didn't think it would be so fast. It feels great to see the number of downloads increasing by leaps and bounds every second!"

Yan Yu said.

"We finally have our own platform, but I don't know what other platforms will do next," said Lin Fei.

“What actions can be taken?
It's nothing more than coercion and inducement, threatening other singers not to cooperate with our platform.

Then increase the share to a certain extent.

Well, maybe they will hire some internet trolls to smear us crazily.

For example, Penguin Music can say that they made Song Dao famous, but ended up being ungrateful..."

Song Dao said lightly.

Even though there are anti-monopoly laws now, platforms are not allowed to engage in exclusive activities.

In fact, there are countermeasures for every policy.

As a platform, they have plenty of ways to circumvent these.

Even when he dealt with Song Dao at the beginning, he just didn't use any tricks because he didn't want to offend this young man who was quickly becoming famous.

Otherwise, it is not easy to release it on all platforms.

Lin Fei said: "The copyrights of many songs are indeed not in the hands of the singers. The better ones are shared, and most of them are in the hands of the companies. The companies certainly don't dare to offend those platforms easily..."

Yan Yu snorted, "What are you afraid of? All the smart singers know the abilities of our... Teacher Song.
Why should I hide my company's shareholder information?
I just want them to figure it out for themselves, whether it has anything to do with Teacher Song?

It seems so, but there is no evidence.

If you want to make friends with Teacher Song, then come here.

Even if I come, I may not be able to write to you 100%..."

puff.

Bai Yue, who was driving in front, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Song Dao and Lin Fei were also speechless.

When the big sister gets serious, she is indeed extraordinary.

Lin Fei glanced at Yan Yu and whispered, "Be careful with your words."

Yan Yuchong smiled at her.

……

July 16th morning.

Xia Guo Music Association held a press conference.

Announced that the major charts will be adjusted.

The existing chart will be split into two, adjusting it into a sales chart and a listener chart.

The sales chart still grabs the public data of major music platforms and follows their rules.

But this listenership chart is really intriguing.

As we all know, there is no such list of number of plays on major music platforms at present.

The only one that exists is “Listen Quietly” which came out yesterday.

Well, it’s Feiyang’s platform!

After a night of fermentation, it was impossible to find the shareholder information of Jingting Media even through public information.

But in everyone's eyes, this is the Feiyang platform.

Many people have shouted the slogan on Feiyang's behalf online: Although we are weak, we will never be afraid.

Jingting was launched yesterday and today the Xia Guo Music Association held a press conference.

In the eyes of those who are interested, this kind of protection is simply open and undisguised.

Facing reporters' questions.

This is what a leader from the Music Association said.

“We respect market diversity and the business practices of all companies, but we also sincerely hope that this market can develop healthily.

The quality of a song should not be judged simply by money.

The number of listeners and the number of times they tune in can also prove how much people like the program.

So we are also calling on all major music platforms here to have a bigger picture in what they do.

In addition to business, there should also be a bit of humanistic spirit.”

For a leader within the system, these words are already very harsh.

It's just short of pointing fingers and scolding the major platforms for only caring about making money, having no humanity at all, and treating their listeners like leeks to be harvested.

If this kind of talk happened before the emergence of Jingting, it would most likely be treated as nonsense by major platforms.

It’s our own list, we can play with it however we want.

But this morning, they collected data from various app stores and found that the number of downloads of Jingting has exceeded 25 million and is heading towards the 30 million mark.

I'm so scared to death!
This is no longer just a simple hit software, it has formed a terrible storm!

Just listen to how many singers there are in total? !
If this continues, even if they use threats and bribes against those companies, they will still have plenty of words to refute them.

——During the public beta period, the number of downloads of this software exceeded 30 million. It is only a matter of time before it exceeds 100 million. You forbid us to cooperate with such a platform? How can you compensate us for our losses?

I can’t afford it, no one can afford it!
Following the press conference held by the Xia Guo Music Association, the charts on major music platforms and websites changed rapidly.

The Feiyang series, which had originally disappeared from the charts of these platforms, including a group of "old people's" songs that first landed on Jingting, just like this, in a slightly weird way, they have returned...

I have to say that the Xiaguo Music Association was really awesome this time!

What really shocked many people was the number of plays of "Blue and White Porcelain", which ranked first on the listener list!

So far, Jingting, a single software, has only been downloaded 25 to 26 million times, but the number of people who have listened to this song has exceeded 19 million!

Even though the majority of the first downloaders were young people, this is still too damn scary.

The key is these platforms. Until this moment, they suddenly realized that they had been played by the Xia Guo Music Association!

The Music Association’s big charts are posted on these platforms, and they are trying every means to use traffic to crush the Feiyang group.

Singers of the level of Song Dao and Lin Fei have disappeared from their charts.

Trying to force the entire Feiyang faction to surrender.

As a result, now, it has collapsed again vividly.

It's fucking at the top of the charts in terms of number of views!

Then even the old songs of Fang Zexi, Tan Lin, Xie Xiaofeng, and other older generation superstars who haven't released new songs for many years and rarely come out to sing, are actually hung there openly.

There are also a large group of "old guys" with extremely high status, such as Jiang Ying, Zhang Huan, Ma Shen, Qin Lang, Chu Peining, Yin Hong, etc.

Each of them also has songs on the "Play List".

As for the direct descendants of the Feiyang faction, there is no need to mention them.

They are all in the top thirty!

Therefore, they try their best to offend others so that they can build platforms to compete with them.

But in the end, it suppressed loneliness?

My mentality exploded!

There was also jubilation on the Internet.

……

Audiovisual hot search number one: #静听#
Hot search No. 4: #大榜新播放榜#
"Hey, isn't the Feiyang faction showing up again? Where are the 'loving wife' family's water army? Hurry up and come out to defend your brother who just became a top star!"

"It's so funny, Gou Ge is really tough! I thought he was suppressed by the capital and dared not speak, but it turns out he was holding back a big move. The big list is also awesome! They actually came out with a play list, hahaha, the number of people is updated in real time, and it's clear who is swimming naked, so embarrassing."

"My Blue and White Porcelain is mighty, my dog brother is awesome, let's ask, who else is there on the Internet?"

"During the period when the Feiyang faction was suppressed, countless people jumped up and down, and even Zhao Qi became a top star. It was so funny. Now it's all good, and everyone is happy!"

"Major platforms, why don't you withdraw from the rankings? Your rankings are meaningless anyway. Don't you have guts? Aren't you yelling about commercial activities? Then just be commercial and leave the pure land to Jingting and the Feiyang system."

"I have to give a thumbs up to the Xiaguo Music Association this time. Many people say that they are biased towards the Feiyang faction. I think that's not enough. Why do they keep that rubbish sales chart? Just like the box office of a movie that was purely made with money is ridiculed, the same goes for the chart that was made with money."

There has never been any software like Jingting that became an instant hit once it was launched while still in the public beta stage.

Nowadays, the speed at which it spreads is no longer something that people like Yan Yu, Song Dao and Lin Fei can control.

Once something becomes a phenomenon, its spread speed will become exponential.

……

The time came to July 18th.

On the fourth day of its launch, Jingting’s download volume exceeded 70 million.

Because the time is too short, it is impossible to count the monthly active users, but the daily active users are extremely scary!
Almost on par with the number of downloads!

Although it cannot be compared with giants like Penguin Music and Yiwang Cloud, which have more than one billion registered users.

But it’s only been four days!

In just four days, Jingting's registered users are no less than those of music platforms that have been operating for seven or eight years, or even ten or twenty years.

Simply based on the current daily active users, even Penguin Music and Yiwang Cloud are no match for it.

The executives of these music platforms are regretting their decisions so much at this moment.

After so many years of hard work, I was surpassed by someone in just a few days!

The most depressing thing is that this opponent was forced out by themselves!

In the past two days, almost all major music platforms have been holding meetings to discuss countermeasures.

Penguin and Yiwangyun can use threats and inducements, but they don't have the confidence. The only thing they can do is to wait and see what "Jingting" will do next.

It has become so popular during the public beta stage, and the next step is definitely to prepare for the harvest.

To be honest, at this moment, the various platforms are not really afraid of the sickle being sharpened too sharply.

What they fear most is that the music platforms dominated by Feiyang, which never play by the rules, will start a price war with them!

The quality of their music is guaranteed, and they use low prices to attract members.

That would be the most terrifying doomsday for them.

In recent days, Guo Qingsong, Li Qingqing, and the team members around them have been extremely busy.

Flying all over the country!
Negotiate with those independent singers and companies.

The same goes for Yan Yu.

But she is busy in a different way.

The princess of Linchuan Group, who had never revealed her identity in the past and would never appear in the business field, began to get involved in the business world for the first time in her life.

The people she was negotiating with were the major mobile phone manufacturers in Xia Country!

There is only one thing I want to do.

Preinstalled!

Even though we are waiting for hundreds of millions of registered users in the future, it is basically a foregone conclusion.

But in the eyes of the big sister, it is not enough, far from enough!

She is the type of person who would either not do something or do it to be the best in Xiaguo.

The membership price of Jingting can be very low, but it must have the largest number of registered users.

Penguin Music currently has the most registered users, over one billion!

The entire Xia Kingdom has a population of only about 1.5 billion.

In this era where almost everyone has a smartphone, what Yan Yu wants to do is to take over the remaining 500 million "downstream market"!

But the pre-installation part is not so easy to talk about.

Either make concessions or exchange interests.

This is for everyone else.

For the princess of Linchuan Group, it is difficult, but not as difficult as imagined.

The prerequisite is that she must reveal her identity.

Things that I was too lazy to do in the past, but now I can do them without any psychological burden at all.

Yan Yu has already talked to her parents privately.

When we become the world's number one in quiet listening music, we will take over Linchuan Group!
Then, I will never get married in this life.

However, if you have children, you can consider giving the second or third child the surname Zhou.

Lao Zhou was excited at that time!

Yan Lei was a little unhappy.

Why can’t we have the surname Yan?
The couple almost had a quarrel over this trivial matter.

In the end, Yan Yu said, the Yan family is not without children and grandchildren, why are you doing this, mom?

Old Zhou was very pleased.

I personally called the bosses of many mobile phone manufacturers.

"My daughter is going to give you a great achievement!"

It was only after Yan Yu embarked on a business trip that the couple realized what was happening.

"We won't be deceived by our daughter, right? She doesn't even have a partner, who can she have a baby with? A sperm bank?"

Old Zhou deeply suspected that he had been deceived by his daughter.

Yan Lei, however, saw everything clearly.

"Your daughter's heart is all on Song Dao, why would she need a sperm bank? Are you stupid?"

Lao Zhou is not stupid, but he was dumbfounded.

"No, stop it. I think Xiao Song and that girl Lin Fei have an unusual relationship!"

Yan Lei laughed: "Yeah, don't you have special relationships with many girls? Am I not your wife anyway?"

Lao Zhou stopped talking.

Just feeling anxious.

Then I called the bosses of several mobile phone manufacturers.

"Promise my daughter that you will give her the profit. I owe you a favor."

There is no way. If that kid Song Dao is really the same as him, then he must get more resources for his daughter!
We have to show our true strength so that he won't dare to bully Yan Yu!
When the child’s surname is Zhou, I’ll treat him as my grandson!
Old Zhou is not confused. He did have a few crushes outside, but they would never be able to get involved in Linchuan Group.

These industries will always belong to Yan Yu.

In contrast.

Lin Fei and Song Dao have been much freer these days.

I even have the mood to watch the second episode of the second season of Best Singer-Songwriter.

Times Media’s determination to support Zhao Qi has become increasingly obvious.

In a program lasting more than an hour, at least one-third of the footage is focused on Zhao Qi and Mei Yingyao.

Mainly Zhao Qi.

……

"Teacher Song, do you have a feeling that this chief director has a special relationship with Zhao Qi?"

The apartment of the Queen's sister.

Lin Fei was lying on the sofa, her head resting on Song Dao's legs. Her beautiful long legs, slender ankles and feet were already extending over the armrests of the sofa.

"It does feel a bit unusual." Song Dao said.

"I really hate this guy. Why do you think Times Media wants to promote him?" Lin Fei muttered.

Even in private, she rarely speaks of others like this.

"Maybe I'm willing to take the risk." Listening to another new song sung by Zhao Qi, Song Dao frowned slightly.

The quality of this song can only be described as passing.

Although Mei Yingyao is talented, he is too old.

On the one hand, the energy is not enough, and on the other hand, it is a bit outdated.

However, Zhao Qi has a good image, and with several forces supporting him at the same time, his results are expected to be good.

But the newly added play list on the big list is really a bit embarrassing.

In the past two days, some smaller music platforms have quietly added this list to their own platforms.

All the songs released on all platforms before Song Dao, including those by Lin Fei and other Fei Yang-style songs, quickly made the list.

But they also don't want to give Song Dao and others an easy opportunity to stir up the recently angry fans of Wang Xiaobo and Sun Kai online.

Lead those people with the rhythm and let them turn on the player and listen to the music.

Including Zhao Qi, Times Media also quickly adjusted its strategy and mobilized its internet trolls to set the pace.

Wang Xiaobo and Sun Kai are fine. On the premise that most of Fei Yang’s fans have entered the audio-visual field, they can compete with Song Dao on the playback list opened on small platforms.

But Zhao Qi is no match at all.

In the next few days, other platforms, including Penguin and Yiwang Cloud, also opened this list.

They were also forced to do nothing.

We can't just sit and watch this position being occupied by others, can we?
Once the big platform was opened, the power of the top streamers immediately became apparent.

Many songs of Feiyang were suppressed.

When it comes to the playback charts of the big charts, those old songs are gradually being suppressed.

Then I don't know who started the rhythm.

A voice began to appear on the Internet.

"Didn't Song Dao say that new songs would be released exclusively for Quiet Listen in the future? Now all major platforms have opened playlists. If you really think you're awesome, then release a new song and see if you can beat all the platforms by yourself!"

Then a trend emerged.

Quickly rushed to the hot search——

#The whole network is calling on Song Dao to release a new song#
