Cassie frowned: "What do you want to do?"
Bai Weijia's eyes were fixed on the music charts. Ye Cang now had four songs on the charts, while his only song in the top ten had fallen to ninth place due to Ye Cang's attacks from both sides. It was probably only a matter of time before it completely dropped off the charts.
Bai Weijia's eyes were red with jealousy. Ye Cang, a food deliveryman, had actually caught up with her step by step, and was even showing signs of surpassing her. Bai Weijia was almost going crazy.
His face darkened as he said, "You also need to inflate Ye Cang's data, and the more fake the better. Then expose this right before the Golden Melody Awards deadline! No matter what, I will not let Ye Cang get away with this!"
Chapter 55
The online buzz surrounding "Rebirth" continues, and Ye Cang's album keeps breaking various records. There's even a thread about it on the Yusheng Forum.
—Just how many records did Ye Cang's album break?
LZ did a quick statistical analysis, based on the actual achievements of all singers over the past three years.
1. The fastest sales speed for physical albums reached 100,000 copies.
2. The song quickly rose to the top ten of the music charts.
3. The artist has the most songs appearing in the top ten of the music charts. (Currently, there are 6, but I think this number will be broken. If all ten of his songs occupy the top ten of the music charts, he will become the first artist to occupy the top ten since the music charts were created.)
4. The album reached 10 million plays in the shortest time.
...
The post quickly went viral, and people continued to update the data afterward.
22L: Report! "No Desire, No Want" has just entered the top ten. Ye Cang now has a total of 7 songs in the top ten of the music charts. PS, I think it will be 8 soon. "Blade" has just entered the top twenty...
23L: Breaking news! "Blade" has entered the top ten! It currently has 8 songs in the top ten, and it only needs two more songs to reach 10 songs on the charts. Go Cangcang!
28L: Holy crap, seeing this post actually made me feel a surge of excitement!
31L: I don't usually listen to rock, but this album has been popping up on my homepage for the past few days, and many people on my WeChat Moments have recommended it. So I listened to it out of curiosity and ended up buying the whole album. I even ordered a physical copy, and now I'm waiting for it to arrive.
46L: My parents were prejudiced against rock music, always thinking it was just screaming and yelling. I played this album for them, and it almost made them cry. Now they're asking me to download it to their phones. [laughing and crying emojis]
109L: Just updated the data, "Rebirth" has topped the sales charts!! [Sprinkling flowers]
The album "Rebirth" swept through the entire Chinese music scene like an unruly hurricane. Surprisingly, it wasn't just one song from the album that became a hit; aside from "The World After Death" and "Long Night," the other nine songs were of equally high quality and all had their own audiences.
Different people will be touched by different songs, and everyone can feel a resonance with each song. It can be said that any song on this album could be a hit single on another artist's album, which shows how high the quality of this album is.
And the fans' response to this album was also very direct.
As a result, after the album entered its second week of sales, the sales speed not only did not decrease, but continued to rise at an astonishing rate, and songs from "Rebirth" began to be played everywhere.
But at that moment, Shen Huai noticed something was wrong.
Ye Cang's data rose rapidly, but on a certain music platform, the data was abnormally high, and often it suddenly surged in the early morning hours.
At first, Shen Huai thought it was a coincidence, but he still put in more effort to compile the statistics before realizing the problem.
Without hesitation, he called Chen Chiyu directly.
Chen Chiyu had just finished a project and was exhausted, catching up on sleep, when Shen Huai woke him up with a phone call.
"Brother Shen! Boss Shen! What's up now? I haven't slept for 36 hours, and I finally managed to get some sleep. Why do you have to call me at this hour??"
Hearing his resentful voice, Shen Huai said lightly, "Will you take on the money-making project?"
Chen Chiyu immediately perked up: "Whatever you say, I'm all ears!"
Shen Huai: "Aren't you sleepy anymore?"
Chen Chiyu: "In the face of money and power, I wouldn't be sleepy even if it were 72 hours, let alone 36."
Shen Huai: "..."
He was already used to his friend's temperament and didn't bother to say anything to him, so he just told him what happened on the music platform.
Chen Chiyu frowned and thought for a while: "This is indeed a bit abnormal. I'll check it out for you. Same as usual, I'll give you the results in three days."
“Okay.” Shen Huai agreed, then paused, “If you can give me results by tomorrow night, the reward will be doubled.”
Chen Chiyu: "Holy crap!"
Chen Chiyu jumped out of bed, his face full of gossip: "Dude, something's not right with you!"
Shen Huai: "..."
He could practically picture Chen Chiyu's expression right now, and couldn't help but say, "Time is money, why don't you hurry up and investigate?"
Chen Chiyu: "We will investigate, but we can still have a couple of minutes to talk about it."
Shen Huai: "..." If it weren't for the fact that they were longtime friends, he would have hung up the phone right now.
Chen Chiyu: "Come on, tell me, what's been going on with you lately? This is so unlike you!"
Shen Huai asked helplessly, "What did I do wrong before?"
Chen Chiyu: "For example, you wouldn't have done something like paying extra for expedited service before."
Shen Huai: "..."
Realizing that Shen Huai was truly at his wit's end and about to hang up, Chen Chiyu quickly sped up his speech: "Hey, do you like that artist under your management?"
Shen Huai's fingers froze instantly.
