At 8 p.m., as scheduled, the Penguin Music platform released the song "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" on its homepage.
Fans who had been waiting eagerly rushed to download the song and listened to it attentively.
"Chen Ge is amazing. He showcases his strength perfectly in this song 'Qinghai-Tibet Plateau'."
"Exactly, I think this song truly proves his versatility in music. He's undoubtedly a musical genius, an all-rounder."
"Though I'm not knowledgeable about music, even I can tell that this song is extremely challenging, especially the high notes in the chorus. It's very difficult for ordinary singers to perform well. I can only say Chen Ge is too awesome, he didn't disappoint us."
"'Qinghai-Tibet Plateau' is fantastic, it's almost perfect. Now, who dares to question Chen Ge's talent?"
"I can't help it, after listening to 'Qinghai-Tibet Plateau', I just want to experience the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for real."
...
Just after listening to it once, fans once again felt the vocal prowess of their idol.
They immediately expressed their love for "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" online.
This prompted those who hadn't yet downloaded the song to do so immediately.
The download count for "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" skyrocketed at this moment.
After an hour, the download count had already reached two million.
This target is difficult for other singers to achieve, but for Zhou Chen, it seemed effortless.
Seeing all this in the background, Wen Xiaoqian couldn't help but admire Zhou Chen's influence once again.
In her heart, she had already made a decision. Tomorrow, she would go to Wanhe to talk to Zhou Chen and try to sign a long-term contract with him as much as possible.
Otherwise, if Zhou Chen were to leave Wanhe one day, Penguin Music might lose this big fish.
"I just downloaded 'Qinghai-Tibet Plateau' and listened to it three times in a row. I have to admire Zhou Chen's singing skills. He's truly versatile. As I've said before, he's the future ceiling of the entertainment industry."
This exclamation came from Luo You.
After listening to "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", he was excited inside. After all these years, he finally heard an excellent and almost perfect ethnic-style song.
With Luo You's post, some industry insiders also curiously downloaded the song to listen.
Among them were Jiang Lin and Huang Shanwen, who had been wanting to find flaws to criticize Zhou Chen.
But after listening to "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" five times in a row, they couldn't find any flaws to criticize Zhou Chen. This left them very disappointed.
"Huang Laoshi, how's it going on your end? Is there really no way to find fault with Zhou Chen's 'Qinghai-Tibet Plateau'?"
Jiang Lin, who was unwilling to give up, messaged Huang Shanwen again.
"Xiao Jiang, I've tried my best. Whether from a professional perspective or from other angles, there's no way to criticize Zhou Chen's performance of 'Qinghai-Tibet Plateau'. If we try to criticize just for the sake of it, it would be meaningless," Huang Shanwen replied.
Indeed, Huang Shanwen understood better than anyone else that with Zhou Chen's current popularity, if they couldn't find a reasonable angle to attack him, it would be pointless and might even get them into trouble.
"Alright, my situation is almost the same. I really didn't expect that Zhou Chen could excel in ethnic singing like this. It seems we underestimated him."
Jiang Lin's face was now filled with despair.
Zhou Chen's "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" truly showcased his all-round ability.
As a professional songwriter, he naturally knew that this kind of ability was rare.
He wanted to criticize, to attack, but he couldn't find a way.
This kind of helplessness made him uncomfortable, frustrated.
In the end, he could only put down what he was doing and find a curvy woman to vent his unhappiness.
On the other side, Wu Heng also secretly downloaded Zhou Chen's "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" to listen to.
He had already tried singing "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" today but couldn't handle it at all.
He wanted to see if Zhou Chen, who was being praised so much, could really sing this song so well.
But when he listened to it on his phone, he was stunned.
Although his musical talent was limited, he still understood the basic musical judgment.
From Zhou Chen's performance, he could see a huge gap, like the difference between heaven and earth. Especially in the high notes, he tried to hit them today, but only managed one before his voice cracked.
Listening to Zhou Chen, hitting the high notes seemed effortless, without any effort.
This was an ability he didn't possess.
So, he began to ponder whether he was wrong to confront Zhou Chen today. Was he really unable to sing good songs? Could he only sing shallow songs?
"Wu Heng, don't overthink it. It's normal that you can't sing 'Qinghai-Tibet Plateau'. Even many top-tier stars in the industry can't. Because this song is quite special, only Zhou Chen himself can sing it," Wang Yifan said.
Wang Yifan was indeed talented. He could guess that Wu Heng would download "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" to listen to, and after listening, he would doubt his own abilities.
And he could timely send a message to comfort Wu Heng.
Sure enough, after seeing Wang Yifan's message, Wu Heng seemed to understand again. He muttered to himself, "Yeah, many people online have said that this song is extremely difficult. Even if it's not me, many talented singers may not be able to handle it. So, not being able to sing 'Qinghai-Tibet Plateau' doesn't mean I can't sing other good songs. Anyway, I won't sing those shallow songs anymore. I must get rid of the label of the king of shallow songs."
Wu Heng was determined to prove himself, so even though Wang Yifan's words were full of loopholes, he still fell for them. And he believed that Wang Yifan was genuinely concerned about him. And that Wan Fangfang and the others were all on Zhou Chen's side.
On Zhou Chen's side, after returning from his run, he received many messages congratulating "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" on its good performance.
To be polite without wasting time, he simply copied and pasted a "thank you for your concern" to everyone.
"Zhou Chen, next time, don't use this method to reply to me. Don't think I don't know, you just copied and pasted the same reply to everyone, including me."
The queen of the music industry, Yang Hanhan, saw Zhou Chen's message and accurately guessed the truth behind it.
