The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 482: I am not short of money!
January has just passed and February has just arrived. Some people have no longer paid much attention to the "War of the Titans" by Morning Light Music, which became known all over the world last month. However, it has entered everyone's field of vision again in a way that no one can understand.

"Is it my eyes or is there something wrong with the system?"

"I don't know if it's dizzying or not, but my computer system is about to crash. The computer is almost taken over by this panda!"

"Who on earth did this? It took me half a year to finish my paper!"

"Is there something wrong with the computer inside Morning Light Music?"

"Yes, why else is this ranking so weird?"

"Who is this P. Diddy?"

It’s no wonder that the Chinese people feel strange.

When it comes to understanding foreign singers, Chinese fans are limited to a few of them.

Among them, we must also count the several mentors on "The Voice of China" who, because of the Chenguang Entertainment, are considered to be the European and American singers that the Chinese people are most familiar with.

In addition, there are several European and American students from "The Voice of China".

Add to that Avril Lavigne, who now spends most of the year in China, and this forms the general impression that Chinese fans have of the European and American music scene.

So when a singer who was beyond their memory suddenly appeared in their field of vision, they would naturally feel strange.

Moreover, this person actually caught up with the top ten that were previously as stable as a rock in the "War of the Gods" ranking!

The current ranking has also changed because of this unknown singer.

NO.1, Zhang Chen (Lyon): 784 million votes.

NO.2, Michael Jackson: 458 million votes.

NO.3, Taylor Swift: 234 million votes.

NO.4, Avril Lavigne: 213 million votes.

NO.5. Beyonce: 126 million votes.

NO.6: Rihanna: 116 million votes.

NO.7: P. Diddy: 115 million votes.

NO.8, Jay Chou: 114 million votes.

NO.9: Ayumi Hamasaki: 108 million votes.

NO.10: TVXQ: 98 votes.

Following closely behind are top singers from various countries.

This ranking has gradually evolved into an activity in which fans from various countries "vote" for singers from their own countries.

Except for Zhang Chen and Michael Jackson, because their base has long jumped out of the scope of their own country, everyone will "conveniently" vote for them when voting for singers from their own country.

There were also some people who voted simply because they saw the two of them at the top of the leaderboard and felt that they were strong enough to be ranked high, so they voted as well.

Other singers are not so lucky and have been completely caught up in a competition between singers’ nationalities.

For example, TVXQ, the official directly voted for them.

A slogan that the "Big Stick Republic" will win was also raised in the country.

Sometimes they can always completely arouse their competitive spirit on some things, especially when their opponent is China.

When Zhang Chen occupied the top spot for a long time, his fans were trampling on all singers on the world forum, and when Jay Chou was also lifted into the top ten by Chinese fans, the Korean people began to be "willing" and actually let TVXQ seize the opportunity to squeeze into the top ten.

"Send TVXQ into the top three!"

They didn't dare to shout out first place because Zhang Chen's number of votes was too terrifying.

It was this slogan that resonated with many girls in the country.

"Why can't our brother be first?"

"Only TVXQ deserves the title of the world's number one!"

"TVXQ, the eternal God!"

"We need to unite with other fan clubs, help each other, and pull Zhang Chen off the throne!"

Starting from February, everyone suddenly noticed that there were a lot more provocative comments online.

Various slogans for canvassing votes are emerging one after another.

In the past, such obviously inflammatory remarks would be dealt with by the platform immediately.

But what was strange in February was that the platforms did not react in time, allowing these comments to flood the entire platform.

All of a sudden, the trend started to spread from Morning Light Music to major Internet platforms such as Weibo, Facebook, Tieba, Zhihu, and Hupu, and these people began to canvass for votes.

Even some private interactive software have begun to show this trend of human-to-human transmission.

For example, the various fan groups of Penguin have already set off a wave of canvassing for votes.

Many people have sneaked into the fan groups of other stars to promote their works.

They also know that saying it directly will not work and they will be kicked out by the group owner.

So when "seeds" and "red envelopes" and other vote-grabbing methods began to be used.

The trend on the Internet began to become strange.

2 month 2 day.

Zhang Chen and Michael Jackson continue to lead.

P. Diddy gained 100 million votes in one day, surpassing Beyoncé and Rihanna to take fifth place.

TVXQ gained 80 votes in one day, reaching sixth place.

Ayumi Hamasaki gained 200 million votes in one day and jumped directly to third place.

There's no way around it. In terms of the number of certain films, Sakura has too much of an advantage.

It’s because it’s rarely seen in China.

This time, so many people suddenly appeared in private to give out "benefits", which shocked their young hearts.

"Brothers, how much have you gained recently?"

"I registered accounts using the identities of my father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, and my maternal grandfather, and I got more than a dozen kinds in total."

"Hahahaha, Zhang Chen is number one anyway, we don't even need to support him."

"Thanks to Zhang Chen for organizing this event, we were able to eat good food."

2 month 3 day.

The situation became even more weird.

Zhang Chen and Michael Jackson are still in the top two positions.

However, Ayumi Hamasaki, who came in third, has received 512 million votes, only 20 votes away from Michael Jackson, who came in second.

The fourth place also went to P. Diddy, with 501 million votes.

Taylor Swift is still in fifth place with 587 million votes.

The sixth place remained unchanged, still being Eastern, with 512 million votes.

Following closely behind was Avril, who only had 419 million votes, gradually falling out of the second tier.

It seems that there is only Zhang Chen in the first echelon at the moment, and he is leading by a huge margin, reaching a terrifying 1100 million votes.

Just when everyone thought Zhang Chen could continue to lead, something happened.

2 month 4 day.

Zhang Chen's vote count is beginning to show signs of weakness.

P. Diddy's votes surged by 300 million in one day, directly surpassing Ayumi Hamasaki and Michael Jackson.

The number of votes reached a staggering 819 million.

Following closely behind is Ayumi Hamasaki, with 612 million votes.

And Michael Jackson came in fourth with 608 million votes.

"Wait a minute! Who the hell is this Puff Daddy? Why is he so powerful?"

"You don't even know P. Diddy, but you dare to say you're his fan? He has a very high status in the music world of the United States."

"Can your status be higher than Michael Jackson?"

"I don't know about that, but today many celebrities from the United States are campaigning for him on Facebook."

"A star? To canvass for him? Are there any singers?"

"Singers, actors, and some things I just can't figure out."

"Hiss——this person's background is so terrifying?"

"I don't know. I don't understand it either."

Not only do the Chinese people not understand it, even many celebrities don’t understand it either.

But some celebrities in the United States know this too well. Zhang Chen also learned the truth from a phone call.

"Boss, my people said that guy started to threaten other stars with what he had in his hand."

Zhang Chen understood what was going on as he listened to the report on the other end of the phone.

"Is there a shadow of other forces?"

"Yes, my people saw people from Goldman Sachs approach him."

"understood."

Zhang Chen hung up the phone expressionlessly.

Sure enough, those people started to get anxious.

This last trick was used.

"Why aren't you in a hurry?"

Liu Yifei sat down next to Zhang Chen, bass in hand.

She hasn't done anything else recently, so she made a rare effort to practice her musical instrument.

"Hasn't this been surpassed yet?" He answered casually, plucking the guitar strings.

Liu Yifei put the bass aside, took the guitar from Zhang Chen's hand and started playing casually, her tone a little worried: "But if this trend continues, it's only a matter of time before we catch up, right?"

Zhang Chen didn't say anything.

Liu Yifei said to herself: "It ends on the 7th, which is not optimistic."

Zhang Chen sighed, stood up and looked at the busy workers who were building the stage.

This stage has been under construction 24 hours a day for nearly a month.

If we go by international standards, no other stage can compare to this one.

All kinds of hardware facilities are currently the best in the world.

In terms of cost alone, Zhang Chen invested more than nine figures to build it.

But in the current situation of "War of the Gods", it is hard to say who will "ascend to the throne" on this stage.

"Can't move backstage?" Liu Yifei's voice came from behind.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Chen felt someone hugging him from behind.

A long-lost warmth spread between the two of them.

Normally, the two of them were used to fighting and playing around, so this kind of thing rarely happened.

Zhang Chen touched his hand on his waist and answered Liu Yifei's question: "The technical department dealt with the virus problem a few days ago."

As soon as he finished answering, he felt the little hand on his waist pause, followed by Liu Yifei's surprised voice.

“Then why not think about it?”

She didn't say the rest.

During this period, Liu's mother had actually told her about the real story behind this seemingly just a battle for fame.

If Zhang Chen’s ranking was kicked down from first place.

The issue raised is not just the change in the title of "the world's number one person".

The most important thing is that there will be big problems with the stocks of Zhang Chen’s listed companies.

The stocks of these companies are now inflated.

But as long as Zhang Chen remains the number one singer in the world, the stock price will continue to remain high.

Shareholders' trust in Zhang Chen is much higher than that in the listed companies themselves.

It can be said that Zhang Chen’s reputation directly affects the value of these listed companies.

As P. Diddy's votes continue to rise, there is a trend that he will overthrow Zhang Chen's number one throne.

The stocks of those listed companies have already fluctuated slightly.

If this trend continues, a decline is inevitable.

And there is a high possibility of a cliff-like drop.

If that time really comes.
Thinking of the consequences that her mother and she had analyzed, Liu Yifei hugged Zhang Chen's hand even tighter.

Zhang Chen naturally knew what Liu Yifei had not finished saying.

He turned around, held the little girl's face and explained.

"If the problem is solved within a day, then there is still room for improvement."

"why?"

"Why?" Zhang Chen touched her head and turned his head away. "You said that several people who were originally on the rise suddenly stopped getting votes. Wouldn't everyone feel strange?"

"But your ticket price can't go up anymore, right?"

Liu Yifei was trying very hard to understand and think about the issues involved.

"Just like you, when a certain number of votes is reached and all the supporters have voted, it makes sense that the number of votes will no longer increase, right?"

Zhang Chen curled his lips and directly revealed the root cause here.

"Those people are canvassing for votes online using methods like 'seeds' and '2 dollars per vote'. The Internet is full of these people now. How can you ask me to ban them?"

If it were still early, this method of canvassing for votes would definitely not spread so widely.

But the bad thing is that the impact of the Panda Burning Incense virus has caused a certain degree of risk to Morning Glory Music, Weibo, Tieba, and even the Facebook backend abroad.

In just a few short days, these vote-gathering methods have flooded the entire Internet.

It can't be banned.

Otherwise it would feel like trying to cover up one's own faults.

People will also accuse you of being unworthy and engaging in shady dealings.

Some people even say that the platform has cut off their opportunities to enjoy benefits.

Liu Yifei could understand what $2 per ticket meant.

but.
“What are seeds?”

This is a good question.

Zhang Chen felt like laughing when he was stared at by Liu Yifei's eyes that revealed innocent curiosity.

He blinked and said jokingly, "Really don't know?"

"I don't know!" Liu Yifei shook her head firmly.

If you don’t know, you don’t know. You will never know in this lifetime.

Although she would receive a "license plate" from Emma every once in a while.

How could a surfer not know what these things mean?

"These people are really willing to spend millions of votes, that's tens of millions of dollars, right?" Liu Yifei changed the subject, "But they bought tickets in the face of you, the richest Chinese, and you don't have any reaction at all?"

In her opinion, is she richer than Zhang Chen?
Isn't this courting death?

Zhang Chen can lack anything, but the thing he has the most is money.

She secretly learned about Zhang Chen's approximate net worth.

All I can say is, beast!

In some ways, it's even better than before.

"Me?" Zhang Chen pointed at himself and said unhappily, "If I buy a ticket, people will say I can't afford it."

"Then others are allowed to buy tickets, but you are not allowed?" Liu Yifei was dissatisfied.

"You're right." Zhang Chen said helplessly, "He made money by buying the first ticket, but if I bought even one ticket, I would lose money."

This is very helpless.

Sometimes being number one isn’t easy.

There are too many restrictions.

Others use various means to buy tickets, and the most others can say is "Wow, you are willing to spend a lot of money."

If he buys a ticket, it's "So your first place was swiped?"

Liu Yifei became furious when she saw Zhang Chen's helpless expression.

She patted Zhang Chen's back vigorously and said proudly, "I'm the one who has to help you!"

"What do you want to do?"

"Hehehe, I am such an aunt!" Liu Yifei pointed at herself, "I am not short of money!"

　There are only two days left for the double monthly tickets, and the deadline is tomorrow!
　　If you still have monthly tickets, please vote! You can also participate in the lucky draw! Monthly tickets during the double period will count as two tickets~
