Chapter 277 For
On March 3, Universal, which had been suspended for nearly a month, finally resumed trading.

The following news was announced that Li Sheng no longer served as the global president, and the former general manager Sun Xinling took over the post of global president, and Sun Xinling's general manager position was taken over by the former global CFO Chen Peiming.

The husband resigned and the wife took over. This change, in the eyes of many people, is a bit of a left hand for a right hand, but insiders know that this is a harbinger of global change.Chen Peiming's leadership means that Universal will probably carry out streamlining reforms, which is probably the intention of the management.

Inside Universal, which had already heard the news, people were even more panicked.

Rumors of layoffs, contract terminations, etc. came one after another. Feeling that they could not protect themselves, many people began to look for a next home.

For Sun Xinling, she was under a lot of pressure.

She is Li Sheng's last retreat in controlling the company. If she fails to get Global's business up, the result will be obvious.

On the day she took office, Sun Xinling received a guest, Sun Zhihao, director of Imusic's pan-China region.

But she rejected Sun Zhihao's invitation to invite Universal to join the Imusic Superstar Project.

Because, Universal can't afford to gamble now, what she urgently needs to do now is to stabilize the crumbling Universal, instead of dragging the wrecked ship that is about to sink, to open up a new continent.

However, due to policy reasons, Imusic once hit a wall in the mainland market. Later, Cmusic, which was compromised, almost became the private domain of the British Championship, and everyone had great opinions.

But now, the policy is open, but the four major platforms have established a firm foothold in China, and even platforms as big as Weibo and Shidu can’t get in. What kind of disturbance can Imusic, an outsider, create?
She dared not offend the four major platforms for the sake of an Imusic whose future was uncertain.

What's more, Sun Zhihao also said that now only Ding Ning joined.

Although Sun Zhihao said that this is a good opportunity for Universal and Ding Ning to let go of the past, he is willing to be a lobbyist.

But she doesn't want to.

Even if she is willing, the artists under her banner, except Li Yixian, are probably not willing.

At this juncture, she didn't want to cause extra problems, and she didn't think that Sun Zhihao was capable of being a lobbyist between Universal and Ding Ning.

Universal had already expressed interest to Ding Ning through various channels, but Ding Ning ignored it, and Sun Zhihao himself couldn't make any promises, so it looked like a big fool, and she would be damned if she believed it.

After Sun Zhihao left, Sun Xinling called Li Sheng: "I rejected the superstar project from Imusic, it's okay."

Although he resigned, Li Sheng is still very clear about various matters in the industry.

Knowing what was going on with the superstar project, he said: "If you refuse, just refuse, anyway, it's just a thing to send beggars, it will definitely not work, and no one should pay attention to him."

Sun Xinling said, "It seems that Ding Ning has joined."

Li Sheng was silent for a while, and then smiled disdainfully: "I can only fool Ding Ning, his hand must want to stretch out, I don't know if he can stretch it back after stretching out, if it is blocked by the platform business It's funny."

"Then, do you want to share the news with the four major platforms?" Sun Xinling thought about it.

Li Sheng thought about it.

But thinking of the series of incidents against Ding Ning before, there were no good results, so he was very hesitant.

But if he didn't do it, he couldn't bear it anymore, he paused, and said: "Be a bit more discreet, don't let Ding Ning know that we revealed the news."

Sun Xinling frowned: "You have to take it easy, Sun Zhihao just found us, and we are spreading the news now, so we must be suspected."

Once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years, Li Sheng thought about it for a while, and felt that something less happened now, and said: "Forget it, Sun Zhihao will definitely go to find someone else, I guess this matter can't be solved, It will definitely come out. Besides Ding Ning, there is no one else, right?"

"It should be gone. Sun Zhihao told me that Ding Ning has joined."

"That's good, let them make trouble, we just sit and watch the show."

……

"What's the matter?" Seeing that Kong Que hung up the phone with a sullen expression on his face, Jiang Yu hurriedly asked.

"Huh? It's nothing." Kong Que glanced sideways at Jiang Yu, walked to the sofa and sat down depressed.

She was really in no mood and had no face to tell Jiang Yu that the boss planned to delay the release of her EP.

I knew that "Let Her Land" had a bad grade and didn't meet the ideal, and the boss was dissatisfied.

Postpone, when will it be postponed?

Will she be hidden away?

She was extremely terrified.

Died as soon as she debuted, this happened a lot in the music world, she was very afraid that it would happen to her, she would not be laughed to death.

You must know that in the past two days, the classmates have called her one by one to congratulate her. She is quite complacent, and feels that she should be proud of herself who usually behaves mediocrely and is not taken seriously by others.

But now it's all right, the release of EP is postponed, if the delay becomes a thing of nothing, then she shouldn't be everyone's laughing stock.

Seeing Kong Que's reluctance to speak, Jiang Yu didn't ask further.

But she could tell that Kong Que must have something to do, otherwise he wouldn't look depressed and absent-minded.

After staying in the living room for a while, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and he wanted to cry. Kong Que put on his shoes and went upstairs with a heavy heart.

Hearing the sound of "bang", she guessed that Kong Que should have entered her room, and Qian Jiani, who also saw that Kong Que was worried, looked upstairs and said, "What's wrong with her, why is she suddenly Not happy."

"Who knows." Jiang Yu, who was sitting in front of the computer, stood up: "I'm going to bed too."

"Yeah." Qian Jiani looked down at her watch, it was almost 11 o'clock, and it was time to go to bed.

As soon as Jiang Yu reached the second floor, she saw Song Zhen who lived next door to Kong Que gently open the door and tiptoed out.

She was about to greet Song Zhen, but she saw Song Zhen stretching out her finger and making a "shh" gesture.

Jiang Yu's mouth was opened, but she quickly closed it, and her steps quickened a bit, but the steps were very light.Because after Song Zhen went out, she put her face sideways on Kong Que's door and listened to it. It seemed that there was something wrong.

After walking to Song Zhen's side, Jiang Yu asked Song Zhen softly, "What's wrong?"

Song Zhen replied softly: "It seems to be crying."

is crying?

Jiang Yu also hurriedly put her ear to the door and listened.

I was really crying, the crying was very dull and depressing, intermittent.

It is reasonable to say that she has just debuted, she should be very happy now, why is she crying.

Obviously, something very sad must have happened to her.

As the eldest sister, she was very worried about what would happen to Kong Que, so Jiang Yu knocked on the door quickly: "Kong Que, Kong Que."

After a long time, Kong Que opened the door.

Seeing Jiang Yu and Song Zhen standing at the door, Qian Jiani also hurried over, Kong Que was stunned, and then whispered: "Is there something wrong?"

Kong Que's eyes were so red, Jiang Yu quickly took Kong Que's hand and asked with concern, "Why are you crying?"

Seeing Jiang Yu and the three of them showing concern in their eyes, I was very moved. Kong Que's eye sockets that had just been wiped dry became moist again: "It's okay."

"Are you all right?" Jiang Yu quickly took out a tissue from her pocket.

"It's all right."

"Then why are you crying?" Song Zhen asked.

It’s okay to keep it a secret, since it’s the boss’s decision, they will know about it soon, Kong Que was silent for a while, and said, “My album has been postponed.”

The three of Jiang Yu looked at each other in dismay when they heard the words, and didn't know what to say for a while.

They also know about Kong Que's situation. It's strange that the sales are obviously good, but the number of broadcasts is much worse than that of singers with the same sales.

They also guessed that the high sales may be due to the popularity of the boss, and the poor playback is because Kong Que's songs are not very popular with the public.

Right now, Kong Que said that her album had been postponed, and seeing Kong Que crying like this, a common thought popped up in their minds: Kong Que's poor grades caused her boss to dislike her, so she cry.

This would make everyone cry. The three of them, who hadn't made their debut, were under a sudden increase in pressure.

It is very common in the music world to have poor grades and be thrown into the cold palace, but because Ding Ning has always been brilliant, they hadn't thought about it before.

Who would have thought that they had encountered this incident nakedly now, but the reality is still cruel, and their emotions fell to the bottom in an instant.

Jiang Yu was the first to adjust: "Don't worry, it's just a postponement, it's not that it won't be released, so don't cry."

After saying this, even she herself felt shabby, but she couldn't find anything else to say.

"En." Kong Que nodded, but his heart became more and more sour.

Wan Wei has always been invincible, but she has become the first person to hold back, and it is embarrassing to think about it.

"Did the boss say why it was delayed?" Qian Jiani asked.

"I didn't say, I didn't dare to ask." Kong Que said weakly.

Concerned about it, this is obviously because Kong Que put too much pressure on herself, Qian Jiani said: "Then don't think too much, maybe the boss feels too anxious and wants to help you pave the way for publicity. Keep your feet on the ground It's a good thing to go step by step, don't be too anxious."

"That's right." Song Zhen interjected, "Don't think wildly, the boss must have his own plan, and we all believe that you will become popular, really."

"That is, believe in yourself, if you sell so well, you will definitely become famous."

"Thank you." Kong Que felt much more at ease when someone comforted him when he was sad.

"Ding Ning joined the IMusic superstar project, suspected to be targeted by the four major music platforms in the Mainland"

On March 3, a report by Xinchao.com caused a wave of waves with one stone and attracted the attention of all parties.

According to the report, Imusic, the world's number one online music platform, has restarted to enter the mainland market, made a series of localization reforms, and summoned a series of superstars to cheer for it. Superstars such as Ding Ning, Jiang Zhiran, An Keqing and Du Yun attended He held Imusic's "Nirvana" press conference and supported Imusic.

Driven by the strong appeal of superstars, the installed capacity of Imusic's computer platform and mobile platform has soared in just a few days. In terms of installed capacity, it has faintly approached Yiting, the fourth largest online music sales platform in China.

However, Ding Ning, who took the lead in joining the Imusic project, was suspected of being targeted by the four major platforms. All major platforms removed all promotional positions of Wanweifang, dropped Wanwei’s related search rankings, and Weige even appeared to buy Wanwei’s artist products. Circumstances where payment cannot be made.

As soon as this report came out, Ding Ning's fan group, who had already noticed the abnormality, immediately set off a wave of boycotting Weige. The momentum was so great that even Ding Ning's winning of the MH Asian Music Award for Best Newcomer was ignored.

Li Cang, the content director of Weige Music, responded quickly, saying that it was just a network error, and it was not aimed at Ding Ning deliberately, but the defense was pale, because everyone could see Weige’s homepage and subpages, and Wanwei’s All related information is gone.

The wave of boycotts soon ceased under Ding Ning's appeal, but the reactions of various platforms are intriguing.

Many people felt that Ding Ning might be targeted by the four major platforms in the future.

Sure enough, in the next few days, netizens found that on QE and Yiwang, a series of song data related to Ding Ning, except for sales, increased much slower than usual, which was particularly obvious, and the rankings also dropped rapidly.

The most obvious thing is that "Dark Fragrance", which has been ranked at the top of the weekly rankings recently, dropped to the seventeenth or eighteenth place every other week.

Moreover, news about Ding Ning in the QE and Yiwang entertainment sections also showed signs of disappearing.

Many people think that this is the manipulation of the two platforms, and the scolding war has resumed.

Immediately afterwards, a major event related to the entire domestic Chinese music scene completely escalated the scolding war, that is: the announcement of the Huage Chart, and the official launch of the new Huage Chart.

The list includes two categories of singles and albums, and is divided into four parts: daily list, weekly list, monthly list and annual list (from last month to the same month of last year). Only sales charts.

The data of each list has two parts: real-time and historical high data. The data is quoted from the four major platforms, Weibo Music and Ten Degrees Music. It is undoubtedly the most authoritative list in China.

When the list came out, netizens found that Ding Ning, who had been so noisy before, performed quite mediocre on the list. Many of the songs he sang fell behind the old ones, and many of the songs he wrote had poor results.

The highest on the daily chart, weekly chart, and monthly chart is "Dark Fragrance", No. 8 on the monthly chart, No. 16 on the weekly chart, and No. 39 on the daily chart. There are also conspicuous green arrows on each chart, representing the song's strength. Rankings are slipping.

The highest on the annual list is "Moonful West Building" at No. 24. This song that swept the streets and alleys in the past two months seems to have suddenly become less popular.

Such a situation completely detonated the emotions of Ding Ning's fans.

It is true that Ding Ning has been busy with filming recently, and he hasn't produced many works by himself, nor has he produced many works for others, which is the reason for his sluggish performance on the list, but the data of "Dark Fragrance" has dropped too strangely, so to say nothing Hands and feet, but no one believed it.

Although the netizens made a lot of noise, the platform side did not make any response and responded with silence.

Silence is admission, which is a subconscious perception of many people.

It is increasingly believed that the four major platforms are competing with Ding Ning. In addition, Ding Ning's exposure has become less and less recently, and the voice of bad-mouthing Ding Ning is everywhere.

On March 3, Wanwei issued a statement that the release of the new album of its artist Kong Que will be postponed, and we are deeply sorry.

At such a critical moment, the sudden postponement of the release of the new album felt that Ding Ning had failed to agree with the four major platforms, and was being retaliated against, and the negative comments were even more raucous.

……

"Is Wanwei going to be banned by Weige and the others?"

Li Shiqi looked at the news reports on the computer, feeling very happy.

Kong Que's new album was postponed, Wanwei and the four major platforms collapsed, look, what good news.

"God knows, Kong Que is pitiful enough." Zheng Junqian expressed deep sympathy for Kong Que.

After finally getting into Wanwei, she saw that one foot had stepped into the dragon gate, but there was such a commotion in the end, I don't know if her dream would be shattered.

"It's not that Ding Ning wanted to die and jumped out as a target." Zhu Xueling curled her lips.

Zheng Junqian retorted: "Then how can Ding Ning be blamed? It's purely the four major platforms' insidious and underhanded methods of competition."

Li Shiqi sighed deliberately, and said: "Hey, do you think Ding Ning will plummet because of this?"

Zheng Junqian frowned: "Maybe, being banned by the platform is almost the end of the game. Compared with the four major platforms, Imusic is still far behind."

"That's not it." Zhu Xueling took over the conversation: "I don't think Ding Ning's sales on Imusic are very good. It's not as good as on the four major platforms. He can kill the list every time. I just watched it. His "Darkness" Fragrance" on IMusic is even worse than the Chinese song list, and the two albums probably sold as much as Yiwang. Moreover, I don't think IMusic has promoted him much, and there seems to be no sound at all."

"Hehe", Li Shiqi smiled happily: "This is picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon. Ding Ning is at a big loss this time."

"That's right, it's a pity that the pants are gone, maybe it's just like this."

"Pitiful."

"NO_zuo_no_die, this word must have come from Ding Ning."

"Why are you gloating so much?" Hearing Li Shiqi and Zhu Xueling singing together, Zheng Junqian felt that the two definitely had no good intentions, maybe they were jealous of Kong Que and wished her luck.

"No, just sigh." Li Shiqi closed the notebook and raised the corner of her mouth: "I'm going out, bye."

……

"I'll go, we're taking the blame again."

"Ding Ning's artist's new album postponed, suspected to be jointly retaliated by the four major platforms", seeing this news, Li Cang is really the first and the second big.

Without even thinking about it, he knew that his meagerness would explode again.

But this time, he was really wronged.

Not only this time, Ding Ning's "Dark Fragrance" before, all the data plummeted, he was also wronged.

Ding Ning himself supported the promotion of Imusic, and the fans were shunted away for a while. Can the data not drop, but Ding Ning's fans still blamed them. He is really wronged by Dou E.

What is not wronged is that he did remove all of Ding Ning's promotional sites, canceled many search keywords related to Wanwei, and once blocked the purchase function of Ding Ning's two albums and all singles.

But who told Ding Ning to run to shout out for Imusic? Isn't this purely against them? If he doesn't come up with some tricks, how can he show their majesty and make an example of them.

"Just memorize it. It's not that I haven't memorized it before. If he gets angry, we will directly ban him." Jia Xinli turned his chair and said with a smile.

Forget it, in the fourth quarter of last year, sales related to Ding Ning accounted for 24% of Weige's total sales.If such a big client is blocked, where can I make up for the 24%.

What's more, Ding Ning's fans are the craziest group of people nowadays. He wouldn't dare to offend him even tearing him up for a few days without taking a breath. The meager statement is what I did, don't let his fans blame me."

Jia Xinli curled his lips and smiled: "Look at you, if you're so scared, call Ding Ning and tell him that you won't take the blame."

Li Cang's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Hey, yes, I should call him. Grandma, I really don't want to take the blame."

Li Cang stretched out his hand to grab the phone, Jia Xinli said in surprise, "It's really a call."

"Why don't you go and learn how the fans can tear you apart." Li Cang glanced at Jia Xinli resentfully: "Besides, it's for our own benefit to ask him to issue a clarification statement."

"That's right, I've wronged you." Jia Xinli shook his head.

These days, if you offend anyone, don't offend the idiot fans, let alone the big stars with tens of millions of idiot fans, otherwise you won't be able to live a peaceful, comfortable life.
