Chapter 99 Gu Zetao: I should still be dreaming

The next morning, the weather was mild and sunny.

Beijing, 19th floor of Delta Center, where Shengchuan Entertainment’s headquarters is located.

After breakfast, He Yu, the agent of the popular singer Wen Suxi, sat in front of the computer and looked at the new song sales chart of Xinghuo Music.

As the most authoritative music platform at present, Spark Music is very intelligent. It can check the sales of a song according to any time period, and can also see the group portrait of buyers and the behavioral preferences of listeners.

But these are not important to He Yu at all, because the only popular singer who has released songs in recent times is Wen Suxi. Other singers or musicians who have released songs are either too small or are in different fields, so they are not comparable at all.

There is no need to look at the annual chart. In February and March, several superstars released new albums, and their sales have now reached a rather terrifying number that is simply incomparable.

He Yu clicked on the summer list. As the name suggests, this list only includes new songs released from April to June.

Seeing the ranking on the list, He Yu's eyes became unusually bright and his breathing became involuntarily rapid.

No. 1 on the summer charts sales.

"Hidden Light", Wen Suxi, 208 million downloads.

It's only ten o'clock now, and there's only half a day left before the song is released. At this rate, it won't be a problem for the first-day sales to exceed 300 million.

This directly broke Wen Suxi's highest record for first-day sales of a new song in history!
The distance between her and the queen of pop was shortened by another small step.

He Yu tapped the table with his fingers in great joy, continuing to look down.

Ranked second on the summer chart sales.

"Capricorn", Zeng Yi, 115 million downloads.

Like Wen Suxi, Zeng Yi is also a female singer, but her status is much lower.

"Capricorn" was released in early April, and it has been nearly a month now, but its sales were surpassed by Wen Suxi by nearly one million overnight.

The gap between singers is sometimes very large.

Ranked third on the summer chart sales.

He Yu took a glance and didn't recognize him, so he thought he was probably a Nobody.

"If I remember correctly, the guy named Bai Xingjian from the Fenghuang Yufei band that Zheng Wei is leading also released a single last night, right?"

He Yu murmured something, and directly adjusted the chart time to new songs released within 24 hours.

She was too lazy to look for an unknown person on the quarterly list. It might take her a while to find Bai Xingjian on the 24-hour sales list.

However, when her eyes focused on the new list, she was suddenly stunned.

The number one in sales on the 24-hour list is naturally Wen Suxi, but what about the second one?
It was Bai Xingjian? !
"In the Name of the Father", Bai Xingjian, 29.99 downloads.

The song was released at 30 o'clock last night, and the sales reached nearly in half a day?
Did you from Yehua Entertainment give it to him?

But if it was swiped, it would definitely be more than 30!
Therefore, these 30 data are mostly normal sales.

But Bai Xingjian doesn't seem to be very famous? Wasn't he the target of Ding Xin's criticism a while ago?
Is black and red really red?!

He Yu rubbed his eyes to make sure whether he had confused the rankings.

However, it did not happen, Bai Xingjian actually ranked second.

But the third one?

Why does this name Li Zhenxi seem familiar?

He Yu searched for Li Zhenxi on the browser, and then he suddenly realized and remembered a lot of things.

GoldenCold group, the one who replaced Bai Xingjian!
Some time ago, he and Bai Xingjian became a hot topic because of the double champion incident of "The New Rap".

"As far as I know, Lee Jin-seok's rap skills are better than Bai Xingjian's, right? But why didn't his album "KING" sell as well as "In the Name of the Father"? "

He Yu was a little confused and felt that this list revealed some unusual meanings.

"KING", Lee Jin Seok, 24.59 downloads.

Both are new songs that were released at 10 o'clock last night, but they have a sales gap of more than 50,000 with Bai Xingjian.

Something is wrong. Eight out of ten things are wrong.

He Yu put on headphones and listened to Lee Jin Seok's "KING".

"With the support of Chen Zhihong and Xu Weiwen, it sounds like a pretty good rap song. It's eye-catching and worthy of the current sales."

He Yu gave a brief comment and then played Bai Xingjian's "In the Name of the Father".

Then she began to frown, her eyes widened, her pupils dilated, and her mouth opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

After listening to "In the Name of the Father" once, He Yu seemed to be frozen in his seat. The fingers that had been tapping the table stopped moving. His eyes were fixed on the play page of "In the Name of the Father", lost in thought, like a wooden man.

It was not until a long while later that she let out a deep breath, her expression quite complicated.

"Why does God favor Zheng Wei so much?"

……

He Yu was not the only one with a complicated expression.

Su Caitao, who had collected her homework last night, found out her fan group was extremely lively as soon as she turned on her computer this morning.

“@Tao Tao Sister, hurry up! Go react to Yoyo’s “In the Name of the Father”!!!”

"How can I live without Sister Tao Tao's analysis videos! I can hardly understand a song now."

"Don't say you didn't understand. I didn't understand it either, but I could feel that this song "In the Name of the Father" was very high-level!" "This song is really like a thermos on the buttocks and a water bottle on the buttocks!"

"Sister Taotao? Where is Sister Taotao? Sister Taotao, please say something!"

After reading a few rounds of messages, Su Caitao suddenly remembered the rap single that Bai Xingjian released last night. She actually forgot to listen to it!!!
Before she could reply to her fans, Su Caitao quickly put on her headphones, turned on Xinghuo Music, searched for "In the Name of the Father", and started listening.

Then her state of listening to music almost replicated He Yu's.

“This song…this song…”

……

"Boss Ji, the single that Bai Xingjian released last night is about to sell over 12 copies in 30 hours. Can I apply for more follow-up promotional resources this time?"

"Yes! It's him. Don't get excited. The song is called "In the Name of the Father."

"Okay! Thank you, President Ji. I'll be waiting for your good news!"

"Yes!"

In the hotel room, Zheng Wei hung up Ji Qiu's call with a smile on her face.

“Xing Jian’s song “In the Name of the Father” is really full of surprises!”

The smile doesn’t disappear, it just shifts.

Zheng Wei's current mood can almost be described as ecstatic.

She saw a rising star in the music world, and this shining new star was right next to her!

……

Bai Xingjian, who has become the center of discussion among many people, just opened his eyes and woke up his mobile phone screen to see 99+ QQ and WeChat messages.

Some came to get acquainted, some came to seek cooperation, some directly called me godfather, and there was also my sister who lives alone nearby and has no friends and really wants to meet you.

Bai Xingjian was dazzled by what he saw and immediately switched accounts. The world instantly became quiet.

However, there was another text message, sent by his roommate Wang Huai via his mobile phone number, telling him two things.

First, the graduation project groups have been divided. They are in the same group. The instructor is Ning Yubin. Remember to add QQ and QQ group.

Secondly, it would be best if he did not return to school in the short term, and if he had to return, it would be best to return quietly. The song "In the Name of the Father" is quite powerful, and many people want to curry favor with it.

In addition to these contents, another thing worth mentioning is that the original name "Tongzi" was changed to godfather in the text message.

Seeing this change, Bai Xingjian felt inexplicably happy, and judging from the meaning of the text message, he might not have to go back to school for a long time.

The graduation project for the Composition Department is very simple, which is to compose a piece of music independently, and then choose a place outside the school to hold a free concert with group members.

As long as you maintain a positive attitude during the defense, even if the quality of the music you create is not very high and the response from the concert audience is not very good, many examiners will reluctantly let you pass for the sake of your instructor.

And their instructor Ning Yubin is such a person that people would let his students pass the defense just for his sake.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about this aspect of the graduation project.

Bai Xingjian simply replied, then opened Xinghuo Music to check the sales of "In the Name of the Father".

——31.7 million!
In just a few minutes, sales increased by nearly 20,000.

The reason why the speed is so fast depends largely on the Weibo post that Lin Qingying just released.

【After listening to this song, I suddenly feel a little at a loss for words. Maybe it’s because the words are too simple and crude. It’s so good that I can’t describe it in words. 】

There is also a picture at the end of the article, which is the playback page of "In the Name of the Father".

However, Bai Xingjian didn’t know about these changes. He only thought that the sales of "In the Name of the Father" had reached 30+ overnight. This was a very good momentum, and sales exceeding 100 million were just around the corner!
Because they were participating in the same program, the mentors of "New Era of Heavenly Group" all followed each other's Weibo accounts.

Not long after Lin Qingying posted this Weibo, it was seen by Gu Zetao who was surfing the Internet on his mobile phone.

He worked all night last night, so it's almost half past ten and he's still a little sleepy.

"This review? It seems that Bai Xingjian's new rap song is pretty good."

Gu Zetao rubbed his eyes. His throat was still sore, but his mind was somewhat clearer.

He has always had high expectations for Bai Xingjian's rap.

I just wonder if this song "In the Name of the Father" will be a Chinese style rap?
Gu Zetao clicked play.

5 minutes and 42 seconds later.

Gu Zetao lay numbly on the bed, his eyes wide open, unable to believe what he had just heard.

"I should still be dreaming, right? Is there really such music? I am afraid I haven't woken up yet?"

After asking three questions in a row, Gu Zetao's voice was low and trembling, and he suddenly felt helpless and confused.

"Yes! I should still be dreaming! But this nightmare is too real!"

"Oh! Never mind, just go back to sleep. You'll be fine when you wake up."

Gu Zetao muttered to himself, closed his eyes again, and fell asleep.

But before going to bed, instead of turning off the song "In the Name of the Father", he put the phone to his ear and played it on repeat.

Since this dream was so real, could he write down the song and make it his own?

As he thought about it, Gu Zetao gradually fell asleep, with the corners of his mouth rising higher and higher.
