How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 195: No Ancients Seen Before

Lin Qianqian was still staying up late playing with her phone and hadn't gone to bed yet. Although staying up late didn't bring her much, it only brought her happiness.

Seeing this scene on the new song chart at this moment, every time I refreshed it, the ranking of Jiang Yu and Hu Tian's new album's first songs would change. Sometimes Jiang Yu was first, sometimes Hu Tian was first, and the two new songs were in a close competition.

"It seems that Jiang Yu's Lanting Preface is starting to show its power."

During the day, Hu Tian consistently dominated Jiang Yu, but as the night wore on, more and more people listened to both songs, and it seemed that more and more people were leaning towards Jiang Yu's "Lanting Preface." As a result, Jiang Yu's new song's popularity began to rise, and he became evenly matched with Hu Tian, ​​making it difficult to tell who was better.

Hu Tian’s advantage during the day seems to be useless now.

Seeing the current situation, Lin Qianqian had a hunch that perhaps by the time she woke up tomorrow, the rankings would stabilize and wouldn't be as unstable as they were now. One night was enough time for things to ferment.

"Looking at the current situation, Jiang Yu has the strongest momentum and staying power. Hu Tian seems to be a little overwhelmed."

As for the first songs from Jiang Yu and Hu Tian's new albums, Lin Qianqian definitely preferred Jiang Yu's "Lanting Preface." Looking at the situation now, she felt that Hu Tian was likely to lose.

"Oh, forget it, I won't watch it anymore. It's already three in the morning, I have to go to bed."

I'm too lazy to care about these things now. I'll know the specific results when I wake up tomorrow.

The next morning, Hu Tian had just gotten up and came back from a run when he received some bad news. It was a call from his agent Xie Qiang.

"Old Hu, this is bad! Jiang Yu has surpassed you. His Lanting Preface has been sitting firmly in first place for almost two hours. Before, you two could still occasionally switch places, but now it's been so long, and this guy still hasn't moved down from the top spot. I guess..."

Xie Qiang paused, seemingly concerned about his friend's reputation, but he still spoke, "I think the data gap is getting bigger and bigger. I'm afraid this competition won't be easy to win."

Hu Tian's breathing, already a bit heavy after running, seemed to become even more rapid now. He didn't even bother to listen to his friend's words and immediately opened his phone. When he saw the ranking results on the new song chart, Hu Tian's brows immediately furrowed.

He was actually surpassed by Jiang Yu.

If he remembered correctly, he saw that he was still in first place before going to bed last night. But when he woke up, he was overtaken by Jiang Yu. And Xie Qiang said that this guy had been sitting in first place for almost two hours.

Hu Tian was well aware of this situation; it was completely different from the day before when he had been holding Jiang Yu's position. The song had been online for so long, and almost everyone had already listened to it. But now, looking at the data, he knew that Jiang Yu had surpassed him, and the gap was widening.

Otherwise, Jiang Yu would not have been able to sit in the first place for such a long time.

At this moment, Hu Tian felt a little panicked.

Is it possible that I will lose to Jiang Yu in the first competition of this new album?

He has lost to Jiang Yu twice in a row on the stage of "Singer". Will he lose again in the first competition of his new album?

Hu Tian found it hard to accept and immediately said to Xie Qiang, "Talk to the company and ask them to increase publicity. We absolutely cannot let Jiang Yu win!"

Xie Qiang sighed inwardly at his friend's anxious tone. The company was already ramping up promotions, but now, it seemed to be reaching a plateau. Ever since Hu Tian's new song dropped yesterday at noon, it had dominated the charts for the entire day, seemingly exhausting its potential. All the fans who needed support had shown their support, and it had already been nearly 24 hours, but the prime window for growth in new song releases was almost over. The data was already nearing its final form, and even with the company's best efforts, it wouldn't have much of an impact.

However, Xie Qiang still said, "I know. You should prepare for the next recording of Singer first, and leave the new album to me and the company."

The eighth episode of "Singer" was about to begin recording tomorrow, and Xie Qiang didn't want Hu Tian's performance to be affected by this incident. If he lost to Jiang Yu on the "Singer" stage again, there would be no excuses or reasons to make up for it. Then, he would really be called inferior to Jiang Yu.

Hu Tian also knew that he would be recording the eighth episode of "Singer" tomorrow, so he suppressed his emotions and said, "I know, but we can't lose with our new album."

The new album is the hope for him and his old partner Li Shuming to make a comeback. They have already lost twice on the "Singer" stage. In this first competition of the new album, they must not lose the first song!
However, things often develop in the opposite direction of what Hu Tian hopes for. Half a day has passed, and his and Jiang Yu's new songs have been online for 24 hours, but at this moment, Jiang Yu's "Lanting Preface" still firmly occupies the first place in the new song list.

Judging from the situation, it seems difficult for Hu Tian to overtake Jiang Yu.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yu sat firmly in first place, surpassing Hu Tian, ​​and the news that he defeated Hu Tian again became a hot topic.

"Jiang Yu's new song is number one!"

"Jiang Yu beat Hu Tian again!"

"Hu Tian and Li Shuming lost again!"

"Hu Tian and Li Shuming have run out of ideas!"

"Hu Tian deserves it!"

……

Everyone had been paying close attention to the new album showdown between Jiang Yu and Hu Tian, ​​especially since Hu Tian had been caught up in a recent media storm and his image had been severely damaged. Many people had hoped to see him suffer, and now, retribution had indeed arrived.

"Haha, what did I say? This hypocrite has received his due retribution. He still wants to beat Jiang Yu? He's dreaming."

"His character is not good, and his songs are definitely not good either. This guy is getting more and more disgusting the more I watch him."

"Tsk tsk, including the two times on the singer's stage, this is the third time you've lost to Jiang Yu. Aren't you still unwilling to accept it? Haha, the current Jiang Yu is not someone you, Hu Tian, ​​and Li Shuming can defeat."

"To be fair, I'm not criticizing the person, but the song. I've listened to both of their new songs. Honestly, Hu Tian and Li Shuming's "Say Goodbye" is nice, but I always feel it lacks a bit of flavor. It's not as good as Jiang Yu's "Lanting Preface," and the lyrics and music aren't as good as Jiang Yu's ancient style song."

"Indeed, Hu Tian and Li Shuming have talent, and this new album's first song is indeed very good. Under normal circumstances, it would definitely be considered a hit song, but compared to Jiang Yu, this "Lanting Preface" Jiang Yu wrote is simply too good, immediately surpassing the song written by Hu Tian and Li Shuming."

……

At this moment, Hu Tian, ​​who was still preparing songs for the eighth episode of "Singer" tomorrow, also received the news and saw the hot search.

His partner Li Shuming was also sitting on the sofa, looking at the trending searches on his phone, especially the words in the comment section, which made both of them look a little ugly.

They had never expected that they would lose the first competition with Jiang Yu's new album. Although it was just one song from the new album, it was not a good start.

Moreover, including the two previous losses on the "Singer" stage, this was already the third time they had lost to Jiang Yu. Even though there were more songs on the new album, losing right after the first song was indeed a little difficult for Hu Tian and Li Shuming to accept.

At this moment, the two of them sitting on the sofa seemed a little silent.

When agent Xie Qiang walked in and saw this scene, he sighed in his heart, but still walked over and spoke to comfort them.

"Don't be discouraged, this is just one song. We have so many more songs on our new album. Even if Jiang Yu is so good, I don't believe he can beat us in the entire album."

"What we need to prepare for now is tomorrow's eighth recording of Singer, and try to overtake Jiang Yu on stage once. After that, we will compete in the next round of the new album competition."

Although Xie Qiang understood Hu Tian and Li Shuming's feelings, now was not the time to be discouraged. Even if they lost, they couldn't lose their spirit. Once they lost their spirit, it would be all over.

He also felt that this was just one song from the new album and it didn't mean anything. There were so many songs on an album, and just because one song failed didn't mean the entire album was a failure.

This time, Jiang Yu's debut song directly represents the genre he pioneered. His previous work, "Blue and White Porcelain," reignited the ancient music market. The market is hungry, and Jiang Yu is a leader in this genre, a true pioneer. He was the first to successfully combine ancient and modern music, and his "Lanting Preface" perfectly met the market's needs, leading to such strong performance.

Xie Qiang also admitted that Jiang Yu did a great job in composing this type of song. This time, Jiang Yu won entirely because his ancient style songs won over them.

He knew that Hu Tian and Li Shuming had been working on their new album together for a long time, and the songs in it were all of good quality. If this song failed, could Jiang Yu still crush their entire album? Could it be that they couldn't win even a single song?

After hearing what Xie Qiang said, Hu Tian and Li Shuming pondered for a moment, and their fighting spirit gradually rekindled in their eyes.

Yes, this is just one song. There are so many more songs in the new album. Can Jiang Yu win all of them?
If you admit defeat now, you will lose completely and shamelessly.

and……

Tomorrow is the recording of the eighth episode of "Singer". Am I going to continue to be so depressed and lose to Jiang Yu again in tomorrow's show?
Hu Tian and Li Shuming looked at each other, and the fighting spirit returned to their eyes.

"Yeah, there are so many songs to come. It's just one song. The competition for the new album has just begun. We haven't lost yet!"

……

On the other hand, Jiang Yu was handling some company affairs. The company had recently recruited some people, and the number of employees was increasing. It seemed that the company was thriving.

Chu Jingya knocked on Jiang Yu's office door. Jiang Yu said, "Come in!" and then he saw Chu Jingya, dressed in a professional suit, black stockings, and high heels, walk in. She wore a pair of rimmed glasses, and her mature and voluptuous figure was accentuated by the slim-fitting business suit, revealing graceful curves. The sound of her high heels tapping on the ground was like walking on people's hearts.

The whole person is mature and intellectual, with a gentle temperament. As soon as she walked in and stood hurriedly in front of Jiang Yu's desk, Jiang Yu immediately smelled a faint fragrance. When he looked up, the first thing that caught his eye was the plumpness under the professional attire. If it weren't for the heating, it would probably be wrapped in a thick down jacket.

"Boss Jiang, there's some good news."

Chu Jingya's face was filled with excitement, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Jiang Yu was also a little curious. Happy news? Did he surpass Hu Tian? But Chu Jingya and he had seen the news before. Could it be something else?
The next moment, Chu Jingya spoke while slightly suppressing her excitement.

"Over in Beijing, the Chinese Lyrics and Composition Associations have both sent in news, wanting to invite you, Mr. Jiang, to join both of their associations!"

"At the same time, Mr. Jiang, this is unprecedented. In the past, creators from these two major associations could only choose to join one of them. This time, they actually invited you and said that you can choose to join both associations at the same time!"

Jiang Yu was also a little surprised when he heard the news.

He knew about the Chinese Lyricist and Composition Association. It wasn't some local, non-governmental organization, but a legitimate one spearheaded by the government. The presidents and their like actually held official positions and jobs.

It can be said that the China Lyrics and Composition Association is an organization that many domestic creators dream of joining. It is not like a local folk organization, but an official organization. Once you join, you can get a lot of benefits.

Jiang Yu did not expect that these two major associations would suddenly invite him and allow him to join both associations at the same time.

This is really surprising.

Is this an exception made just for me?

He looked at the gentle, intellectual, mature and sexy Chu Jingya and asked curiously.

"Has there ever been a creator who joined both associations before?"

Chu Jingya shook her head.

"No, the two associations are special in nature. Unlike those local civil associations, they have very strict requirements. So far, no one has joined both associations at the same time."

Chu Jingya glanced at Jiang Yu and looked at her boss. She was shocked when she received the news just now.

Not only did the two major associations send invitations at the same time, but they also made an exception for their boss, allowing him to join both associations at the same time. This is really surprising.

This is the Chinese Lyrics and Composition Association, a truly official organization. There has never been a precedent for someone to join two major associations at the same time, and now, it has happened to their boss.

Because of their own bosses, the two major associations chose to make an exception.

This is definitely something that has never been seen before.

Chu Jingya looked at Jiang Yu and asked.

"Boss Jiang, what do you think? Do you want to join?"
