HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 10 [010] Zhou Wang Tao Luo Guang each get a little

The next morning, Qi Yuan and Zu Feng went to class as usual.

Along the way, many students who passed by took the initiative to greet Qi Yuan.

"Senior Qi, your song 'You'll Be With Me All My Life' is so beautiful. I listened to it five times on the radio last night."

"So many people admired your youthful beauty, how could you write such beautiful lyrics?"

"Hi junior, I'm Yang Xue. I requested one of your songs last night, did you hear it?"

……

The song "You'll Be With Me All My Life" is very popular on the Beijing Film Academy campus.

This is easy to understand. If a student from the same school is going to become a singer and releases their first song, most of their classmates will listen to it out of curiosity.

However, Qi Yuan had no idea what the situation was like outside the school; she had to wait for news from Song Ke.

Around lunchtime, Song Ke finally called Qi Yuan: "Good news, the online viewing results of 'You're My Life' were quite good last night. The radio station counted that it was played a total of twenty-four times."

After deducting Huang Xiaoming's nine requests and Zuo Xiaoqing and Yan Danchen's two requests, there were more than ten genuine listener requests remaining.

For a newly released song, this is a very good result.

Song Ke continued, "In the next one to two weeks, 'Campus Folk Songs' will focus on promoting 'You'll Be With Me All My Life.' If the response continues to be positive, other programs on the radio will also start promoting 'You'll Be With Me All My Life.'"

Upon receiving this news, Qi Yuan felt much more at ease.

……

On the second day after "You'll Be With Me All My Life" was launched on the "Campus Folk Songs" program, the production team received nearly thirty calls requesting the song.

This time, there was no bot like Huang Xiaoming, nor were there any requests from acquaintances like Zuo Xiaoqing and Yan Danchen. The viewing data was mostly genuine, without any manipulation.

The time allotted for one segment of "Campus Folk Songs" is not enough; even playing "You'll Be With Me All My Life" from beginning to end wouldn't satisfy the audience's needs.

The radio station immediately adjusted its strategy, promoting the song "You'll Be With Me All My Life" to other music programs on the station.

Programs such as "China's Hottest Songs Chart", "974 Car Music Time", and "Midnight Music Talk" have all opened up the service of requesting "You'll Be With Me All My Life".

A radio station has different programs at different times.

It's the same principle as television stations; one program airs during one time slot, and another program airs during another time slot.

After the radio station adjusted its strategy, listeners who want to request "You'll Be With Me All My Life" no longer need to tune in to "Campus Folk Songs" in the evening.

During the day or in the early morning, listeners can call in to request any music-related program on the radio.
There are also some older on-demand models, such as people without telephones writing letters to the radio station.

In short, after the radio station discovered the potential of "You'll Be With Me All My Life" and began to increase its promotional efforts, the number of plays for the song started to rise rapidly.

On the third day, the radio station received hundreds of requests, more than tripling the number.

On the fifth day, the number of calls requesting songs surged again, and the song request hotline was frequently busy.

On the seventh day, in the Beijing area, the listenership of Beijing Music Radio Station surged into the top ten of all radio stations.

From that day on, people in the Beijing area and taxi drivers would often hear the song "You'll Be With Me All My Life" whenever they turned on their radios to listen to Beijing Music Radio.

"You'll Be With Me All My Life" has gradually gained popularity in the Beijing area.

Some students, white-collar workers, and ordinary people who have heard the song will recommend it to the people around them.

However, this song is currently only broadcast exclusively on Beijing Music Radio. Those who were recommended the song by their friends can only listen to Beijing Music Radio, which in turn increases the radio station's listenership.

The positive feedback loop has already started.

In 1997, the power of a good song was so great that it could boost radio listenership.

Last December, Richie Jen's album "Too Softhearted" was released. Music radio stations in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and many parts of mainland China were flooded with requests.

People can immediately hear the song "You're always too soft-hearted, crying alone until dawn" whenever they listen to music radio.

Switch to another radio station and it's "Too Softhearted" again; switch to yet another station and it's still "Too Softhearted".

After several changes, it's finally not "Too Softhearted" anymore. It's "Cry Your Heart Out" and "A Man's Tears," still Richie Jen's songs. Isn't that a pleasant surprise?
What? You say you're sick of hearing it and don't want to hear it anymore? You go shopping with your wife and kids, and all the record stores and malls are still playing "Too Softhearted".

This is the terrifying popularity of the last king of Mandopop; people all over the country can hum a few lines of his songs.

Qi Yuan, who was engrossed in writing songs in her dorm room at Beijing Film Academy, suddenly received a notification.

[“Campus Folk Songs” became one of the top three most-listened programs on Beijing’s music radio stations. Host Lü Xiaoxian received praise from the station’s leadership. This success and progress together earns us +1 draw chance.]

Qi Yuan was not surprised to see the system notification.

Having been reborn for over a year, he has thoroughly mastered this system of mutual progress.

You can only progress with one person at a time.

Lü Xiaoxian benefited the most, as "Campus Folk Songs" originally had a lower-middle-range listenership on Beijing's music radio stations.

With the release of "You'll Be With Me All My Life," "Campus Folk Songs" achieved a remarkable turnaround, becoming the third most-listened program on the station.

"Draw it." Qi Yuan pressed the draw button.

"Extracting attributes or traits from the target, Lü Xiaoxian. Lü Xiaoxian, proficient in hosting skills, half of the hosting attributes have been successfully extracted."

Name: Qi Yuan

Skills Mastered: Singing (Proficient 10000/50000)

Guitar (Proficient 3000/10000)

Composition (Proficient 3000/10000)

Acting skills (Beginner level 1000/3000)

Hosting (Entry-level 1500/3000)

[Mastering the characteristics: 50/50]

五个等级需要的属性分别为入门1000、熟练3000、精通10000、大师50000、传说500000。

The values ​​become increasingly exaggerated as you progress; from Master to Legend, the value increases fivefold, and from Master to Legend, it increases tenfold.

According to the system's standards, looking at the global entertainment industry, there are probably fewer than two hands' worth of legendary figures.

Fortunately, Qi Yuan has a cheat code; he keeps helping others improve, so there's a chance he might reach legendary level.

Take hosting as an example. Lü Xiaoxian's hosting skills are at the proficient level, while Qi Yuan directly took half of them.

With Qi Yuan's current beginner-level hosting skills, she is already comparable to a top student who did not graduate from a university broadcasting major.

Although Qi Yuan never intended to become a host, it's always good to have more skills.

After closing the system panel, Qi Yuan focused her energy back on the new song.

The peak of "You'll Be With Me All My Life" is far from over.

He basically had control over the first album.

So the question is, which songs should he choose for his first album?

After careful consideration, Qi Yuan came up with a bold idea: why not combine a little bit of Zhou, Wang, Tao, Luo, and Guang? The first album should be all about powerful and dynamic performance.
