A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

The fact that netizens voted for Su Fan to write a song for himself instantly sparked heated discussions online.

This move left everyone dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, the celebrities who are still working hard to garner votes have much more complicated feelings right now.

Their initial confidence, which they had once held firmly in their grasp and were now completely gone.

Some celebrities had just posted a Weibo message to garner votes when they turned around and saw Su Fan's vote count soaring, leaving them speechless for a long time.

They couldn't help but ask from the depths of their souls, "Is this even possible?"

They worked tirelessly for days, mobilizing all their fans, doing live streams and posting on Weibo, only to have the entire internet's curiosity snatched away with a casual "We want to hear Su Fan sing."

What's the point of playing this game?!

What made them even more dumbfounded was that even their own fans started to turn against them.

The comments section was full of messages like, "Sorry, brother, but I'm really curious about Su Fan singing ancient style songs."

Seeing this, netizens, always eager for a good show, chimed in with their own jokes.

"Hahahaha... This is hilarious! The whole internet is fighting tooth and nail for votes for their idols, but the traditional Chinese style music community just flipped the table. We don't want anyone else to sing, we want Su Fan to sing it himself!"

"This is truly a game-changer. While others are vying for access to Su Fan's songs, this guy is directly asking Su Fan when he'll sing them for us. His vision has completely broadened!"

"The current vote trend is hilarious! The ancient style section is like it's on a rocket, with a bunch of passersby being dragged over to vote out of curiosity. The fans of those celebrities are completely dumbfounded!"

"To be honest, this voting logic is completely compliant. The event says to vote for the singer you most want to see perform, but it doesn't say you can't vote for Su Fan himself. They've really figured out the rules!"

……

When the news reached Su Fan's ears, he was stunned.

He was drinking tea in his office when Ma Xiaoya rushed in and shoved her phone in front of him.

When Su Fan glanced at the voting list, the ancient style genre was far ahead, and in the singer selection column, Su Fan's name was leading with a high number of votes.

"Holy crap, what's going on? How did this get involved with me?!"

Ma Xiaoya said, "If you hadn't reacted like that, I would have suspected that you staged it all yourself. But it's fine, at least the good stuff stays in the family."

"I know this is what everyone wants, but people who don't know might think I'm pulling some kind of shady deal."

……

Su Fan thought for a moment and then called Shen Fei.

"Mr. Shen, you've seen the voting results, haven't you?"

"I see," Shen Fei said, his tone revealing an undisguised smile. "This is what they call being the people's wish."

"That's true, but people who don't know the situation might think our platform is involved in some kind of shady operation, organizing its own event and taking first place ourselves. Would that look good if word got out?"

Shen Fei, having figured it out, asked, "So what do we do now?"

"How about this, I'll prepare another song, that way everyone will feel a bit more balanced."

The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly rose in pitch: "Really?!"

"Mr. Shen, calm down." Su Fan was startled.

"I can't stay calm! Do you know what I've been through these past few days? Every time I'm awake, I'm refreshing the backend. Every time I refresh, the number of registered users jumps by a mile. Do you understand that feeling? Now you say you're going to write another song. After this wave of popularity, the platform's data will probably skyrocket!"

"Then you'd better make sure you get some rest."

Shen Fei's voice suddenly choked up: "Ten years, a full ten years. I've persevered on this platform for ten years, and I've finally seen hope..."

"Mr. Shen, it's not that bad, it's not that bad."

"I'm sorry, I got a little excited just now." Shen Fei took a deep breath to calm himself down, then said solemnly, "President Su, from now on, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west; if you tell me to catch fish, I will never kill chickens..."

"Stop, stop, Mr. Shen, let's announce it to the public right away."

……

Soon after, the official Weibo account of NetEase Cloud Music updated a message.

"Bonus Chapter! One Song Becomes Two!"

"Thank you for the enthusiastic participation of every user! In this 'Sing for You' poll, the ancient style genre and Su Fan herself have taken the top spot by an absolute advantage. We appreciate this well-deserved recognition!"

"After consultation with Mr. Su Fan, we hereby announce that, in addition to the ancient-style song that Mr. Su Fan will personally compose and perform according to the event rules, he will also compose an additional song. Please continue to vote!"

Su Fan also opened his Weibo account and updated his status.

"Thank you all for your support. To be honest, I was stunned when I saw the voting results. I didn't expect that the event I organized would backfire on me."

"Since everyone wants to hear it, I will definitely make arrangements. The ancient-style song is already in the process of being written. Please give me some time."

"Furthermore, to thank everyone for their support and to prove our innocence, showing that we really didn't engage in any behind-the-scenes manipulation, I've decided to create another song. So, please continue to vote actively; who wins is still up to you!"

The comment section exploded as soon as these two messages were released.

"We won! We won! Family, Su Fan's ancient-style song is really coming! My youth is finally over!"

"Wait, there's another song! Wake up, everyone! Stop just watching the drama unfold and hurry back to vote for your favorite idol! There's still a chance!"

"This is incredible! I thought the event was over, but it turned into two! I bet the competition is going to be fierce from here on out!"

"I have to say, this was a brilliant move. It responded to public opinion and boosted the event's popularity, creating a win-win-win situation for the platform, the singer, and the users. I'm definitely copying this marketing strategy!"

"Su Fan: I write songs, I sing, and I even write songs for others. I'm definitely the busiest working person on the internet, hahaha!"

……

When other singers saw this message, their previously despondent hearts instantly came back to life.

Keep in mind that they were just in a state of collective self-isolation.

But now that the official announcement has been made, what are we waiting for?

Suddenly, the entire entertainment industry changed its style.

The fan groups that were previously filled with lamentations have now all come back to life, with their campaign slogans becoming louder and louder.

A new round of campaigning has thus begun in earnest.

One celebrity after another takes the stage.

Live streams, Weibo, and short videos bombarded the internet, as if they wanted to etch the words "vote for me" into every corner of the network.

The most direct consequence of this fierce competition among top-tier platforms is that the number of registered users on NetEase Cloud Music has surged once again.

Shen Fei sat in his office, refreshing the backend data. Looking at the growth curve that was almost vertically rising, he grinned from ear to ear.

"That was an amazing move!"
