Taking Liu Yifei back to Northeast China for the Chinese New Year has sent the entire internet into

however.

Fang Yu's fans are rushing in.

Other people's fans are also rushing in.

A few days ago, when Fang Yu was releasing a bunch of new songs, all the management companies collectively held their breath.

The publicity group was muted, trending topics were not bought, and press releases were suppressed and not issued.

Just like an ostrich—burying its head in the sand.

I thought to myself, Fang Yu, you must get tired of singing eventually, right?

Once you've calmed down, we'll go out and have some fun again.

But today is different.

Fang Yu's fans are not only promoting his new songs, but they've also brought back several of his older songs that were about to fall out of the top twenty.

This playing style has lost its original flavor.

It's not about "riding the wave of popularity".

It's a clearance operation.

The goal is to wipe out every single spot in the top ten of the hottest songs chart and make them all belong to Fang!

The industry peers couldn't sit still any longer.

At 3 p.m. that day, urgent notifications popped up almost simultaneously in the PR groups of no fewer than six brokerage firms.

Different wording, same meaning—

"Let's get our song back into the top ten before tonight."

The principle is so simple that it doesn't need any explanation.

The Chinese Pop Songs Chart has a total of ten slots.

Fang Yu occupied eight of them.

Liu Yifei occupies one spot.

This leaves room for the tens of thousands of other singers in the entire Chinese music scene.

A chair.

Just one.

Tens of thousands of people are watching.

If Fang Yu really manages to sit in that last chair, then whenever someone mentions the hot song charts, the first thing that pops into their mind will be:

Fang Yu.

What else do we play?

Let's just register a group on DD (a ride-hailing platform) and start driving for ride-hailing services.

So no one discussed it, no one took the lead, and no one initiated any "joint boycott" group chat.

The entire industry seemed to have been pricked in the butt by the same needle, and they all jumped up in unison almost on the same afternoon.

……

The following morning, Sanxiang City

The early morning ferry on the Xiangjiang River sounded its whistle. The fog had not yet completely dissipated, and a gray-white ribbon of light trailed across the river's surface.

In the penthouse suite of a five-star hotel, Hua Yu let out a huge yawn.

He rolled over, stretched an arm out from under the covers, and pulled the tablet from the bedside table to his side.

Swipe the screen, open Penguin Music, and go to the Hot Songs Chart.

I've been busy preparing for the fourth episode of "Peak Concert" lately.

He had no interest in the rankings.

But Hua Yu was confident.

My own live version of "The Broken Crown" was firmly stuck at ninth place the last time I watched it.

The champion single of the first season.

This is something I put together after three long nights of sleepless nights.

Surely it can't just disappear after you wake up one night, right?

He swiped down casually.

First, Fang Yu.

Second, Liu Yifei.

Third, Fang Yu.

Hua Yu was used to this kind of display, and didn't even lift his eyelids, continuing on his way.

Fourth, Fang Yu.

Fifth, "Northeast Folk Songs".

Hua Yu frowned.

This song has climbed to fifth place in less than two days since it was released?

Okay, that's very Fang Yu.

He accepted it and continued searching for himself.

The sixth, seventh, eighth... all were printed with Fang Yu's name.

ninth--

Hua Yu's thumb froze in mid-air.

Ninth place: "The Big Sedan Chair".

He blinked twice forcefully.

Is Fang Yu ninth?

what about me?

Quickly flick your thumb downwards.

Tenth, "I Can't Let You Go" - by Li Zhe.

Hua Yu's Adam's apple bobbed.

Next, continue.

eleventh.

That familiar live version of "The Broken Crown" hangs there pitifully.

He stared at the screen for a full five seconds.

Snapped!

The tablet was thrown onto the bed and bounced twice before coming to a stop.

He lay face up, covering his face with both hands.

"No way... what the hell did I do to deserve this?!"

……

That evening, at 8:47 PM.

Under the intense assault of Fang Yu's fans, that last stronghold was finally captured.

"Comrades: Almost a Love Story"

They firmly held onto the tenth place position.

I refreshed the page three times, but the ranking remained unchanged.

The comment section exploded immediately.

The super topic has completely gone crazy.

Hundreds of messages flooded the fan group in a second, making it impossible to see who was saying what; all you could see were exclamation marks and the capital "win".

We did it!!!

[There's absolutely not a single drop left, family!]

I even used my 70-year-old grandma's phone to register a Tencent Music account, and she still doesn't know she's a die-hard fan of Yu Ge!

Last night, I knocked on every door in the school dormitory corridor, giving out twenty bags of spicy snacks in exchange for twenty views. It was a huge loss, but worth it!

Nine out of the top ten hottest songs on the Chinese music charts feature Fang Yu and Liu Yifei. I'm going to frame this screenshot! When my grandson asks me which stars I idolized in my youth, I'll slam this on the table and say, "Back in the day, your grandpa was one of those guys who followed Fang Yu to conquer the world!"

[I suggest Tencent Music give us a badge called "Chart Domination Participant," the kind with a gold plating!]

Nine songs occupied the top ten spots on the hottest songs chart.

This was originally an achievement worthy of a celebration that would have included renting out the entire Second Ring Road of Beijing.

But soon, a problem arose.

Number one on the list: "Don't Listen to Slow Songs When You're Sad" by Fang Yu.

Second on the list: "Right Now" - Liu Yifei.

Third on the list: "Northeast Folk Song" - Fang Yu.

The list continued down until the tenth place, where all the names were Fang Yu's.

An extremely awkward reality is now facing the fans.

The only non-Fang Yu's territory is Liu Yifei, who is second on the list.

How do we fight this?

To attack them would be tantamount to directly attacking the legitimate sister-in-law.

If we don't play, this "Grand Slam" record of dominating the top ten will always be missing a piece.

The atmosphere in the fan group suddenly became somber.

This question is beyond the scope of the curriculum; can someone solve it?

[The fact that "Tian Mi Mi" managed to reach number ten means it's already exhausted its potential. Trying to push "Xiao Fang" or "Zhu Dage" up further? Impossible, the numbers have stalled.]

[How about we take a break? Nine Heads is pretty strong, and Second Place is one of our own, so there's no shame in it.]

Inside a male dormitory at a university in Beijing.

Zhao Yuhang sat cross-legged on the upper bunk, staring at the words on the screen, and sent a voice message:

[What are you waiting for! You were just one step away. If you want to get to this point again, you'll have to wait until your next life!]

A string of messages immediately popped up in the group:

[Then you teach us how to oust your sister-in-law? We can't exactly buy smear articles to reduce Liu Yifei's popularity, can we? That would be the biggest act of treason in the entertainment industry!]

[Yeah, if we really push my sister-in-law out of the room, Yu-ge probably won't even be able to sleep in the second bedroom tonight and will have to sleep on the sofa in the living room. For the sake of Yu-ge's family harmony, let's just let it go.]

No way! We're not just fans of Yu-ge, we're also fans of his career! How can we let love hold us back! (Although I'm also afraid Yu-ge will come and beat me up through the internet)

The discussion reached a dead end, and no one dared to provoke the issue.

Finally, a truly brilliant person appeared.

Someone typed a message in the group.

Actually, there is a way.

[If Fang Yu releases just one more song. A killer hit that needs no pre-release hype, will take the entire internet by storm and dominate the charts. Once it's released, this whole situation will be completely perfect.]

The eyes of hundreds of people in the group were all fixed on this sentence.

Immediately afterwards, several people typed out the same name at the same time.
