DAEYTT Chapter 008 Glorious Snow, The Voice Audition.

Upload complete.

Wang Qian refreshed the backend data.

The data for both songs was exactly the same.

Listens - 0!

Downloads - 0!

In less than a minute, the data for his work as a pure newcomer was definitely all zeroes.

Wang Qian himself listened to and downloaded both songs once, costing fifty cents per download, totaling one yuan, allowing his two new songs to achieve zero breakthroughs.

Pathetic!

Wang Qian smiled, feeling the hardships of being a newcomer.

Buzzing...

"Dreaming of wielding a sword and traveling the world..."

The ringtone he just set rang.

Wang Qian saw that it was He Dongming calling, so he immediately answered, "Dongzi, I've had dinner!"

He Dongming: "I've had dinner too. I have something to tell you."

Wang Qian felt his compulsive disorder kicking in. He felt uncomfortable every few seconds without refreshing the backend data. While clicking refresh, he said, "What's up? Say it!"

He Dongming smirked, "Hehe, don't say that I don't help you. Do you have time tomorrow morning? I've arranged an audition for you!"

Wang Qian was taken aback, stopping his mouse clicks, "What audition?"

He Dongming: "Our program team is auditioning independent singers and musicians in Shanghai. I've secured an audition slot for you. Just come over tomorrow. If you pass, you can enter the blind auditions for The Voice. Plus, The Voice has undergone major changes this year. They've added an international competition, where the annual champions from various countries will compete in the world finals, ultimately crowning the world's best voice!"

"Just ask yourself, are you up for it? The exposure is much greater than before. Many people in the industry are considering signing up for it. Unfortunately, those famous singers won't get a chance. But many talented independent artists are interested. This is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself in the world."

He Dongming was very excited.

Wang Qian felt touched.

With such fierce competition, the slots were naturally more precious. He Dongming had fought for an audition slot for him, which must have taken a lot of effort.

"Okay, I'll be there on time tomorrow. Thanks, Dongzi."

Wang Qian wasn't too sentimental, just brushing it off, but he remembered it in his heart.

He Dongming chuckled, "It's nothing. I'm busy, so I'll hang up. Give me a call tomorrow before you come, and I'll pick you up."

"Okay, go ahead and busy yourself."

Wang Qian hung up the phone and naturally clicked the mouse to refresh.

Listens - 2.

Downloads - 2!

Both songs had increased by one data point.

Wang Qian was stunned, then a pleasant surprise washed over him.

He had prepared himself for being unnoticed.

After all, Tengfei Music website was the largest music platform in China, with tens of thousands of independent singers, and all the professional singers who were famous in other entertainment circles would also release songs and top the charts here.

So, the competition on this website was fierce, and even with a user base of a billion, newcomers found it hard to stand out.

Pure independent newcomer singers had to prepare for a long time in the early stage, needing to prove that they were really making music before they could possibly get a small recommendation from the website. Most independent singers wouldn't get recommended, so they had to buy traffic themselves or promote on other social networking sites if they wanted exposure.

Wang Qian wouldn't spend money to buy traffic, nor would he hype on other websites.

He had spent over a decade in the entertainment industry in his previous life, and he had used every means.

Now, he just wanted to rely on pure talent and skill to make a name for himself.

And now...

There was one more downloading user.

Wang Qian was thinking happily about a good start.

But then, he immediately saw a comment appear below the comments section.

"Old man, you big liar! I will find you for sure."

Poster - Glorious Snow!

Qin Xuerong?

Wang Qian immediately thought of the young beauty who claimed to have fallen in love with him at first sight.

From the name and tone, it should be her.

"Hehe, little girl!"

Wang Qian smiled and didn't take it seriously, not letting the comment of this little girl bother him.

However, he felt a little disappointed.

He thought it was a good start.

Unexpectedly, it was actually an acquaintance searching for him by song name.

...

Qin Xuerong sat on the bed, wearing pajamas, with long hair cascading down, devoid of the smart and capable demeanor of her professional attire, but adding a cute and adorable charm of a neighbor's little sister. She looked much younger, holding a laptop, and playing was the song "

After posting a comment, Qin Xuerong sat on the bed staring at the computer screen for a while, with images of Wang Qian singing "The Ordinary Road" in a bar, in the car afterward, and at the entrance of the neighborhood playing over and over in her mind, like scenes from a TV drama.

This afternoon, she had waited at the entrance of that neighborhood until ten o'clock at night, hoping to see Wang Qian, but she ended up disappointed. When she showed Wang Qian's photo to the security guard, he said there was no such person in the neighborhood.

That's when Qin Xuerong realized she had been deceived by Wang Qian. She came back home angry for a good fifteen minutes before calming down. Then, she went to the Tengfei Music website to search for Wang Qian's two songs and was surprised to find them, freshly uploaded, under the artist name "Modest Gentleman."

She knew it had to be Wang Qian's recent upload. "This guy, won't even reply to me?" Qin Xuerong was waiting for Wang Qian to respond to her comment, but after waiting for over ten minutes, there was no response. Was he ignoring her? Avoiding her? Is this how he treats the listeners who spend money to buy his songs?

Pouting, Qin Xuerong, after being angry for a minute, suddenly became active in several class and work groups, posting the same message and links: "Found two super good new songs, everyone go download and give them a try, guaranteed good!"

Qin Xuerong, who usually didn't interact much, suddenly posted promotional messages, surprising everyone in the groups, and they all became excited.

"Is Xue'er's account hacked?"

"Our class leader is actually advertising? The perfect image of the class leader is shattered, my youth is gone..."

"Well, since it's the class leader's recommendation, I'll give it a try."

...

"Manager Qin is advertising? Let's listen!"

"Hahaha, Manager Qin said it's a good song, then it must be good."

"I've already downloaded it. Manager Qin's taste is the same as mine. It's so good. That kind of fresh yet somewhat melancholic feeling, that's my cup of tea. I think these two songs express..."

...

Qin Xuerong also left a message in the comments: "Uncle, no need to thank me."

...

Wang Qian didn't stay in front of the computer constantly refreshing the backend data. He was tired today too, so after taking a shower, he went to bed early, preparing for tomorrow's audition for "The Voice."

The next morning, Wang Qian woke up, and the computer was still on. He absentmindedly refreshed the backend data.

Listens: 155.

Downloads: 170.

Yawning, Wang Qian instantly became alert. Is this 'Good wine needs no bush'? Has his good music been discovered?

Wang Qian looked at the comments section.

"The class leader recommended songs, and they're actually really good. Very enjoyable."

"Wow... they're really good!"

"The Ordinary Road, the former you, such good songs buried? I'll help promote them."

"Great songs!"

...

And the glorious Xue'er left a message: "Uncle, no need to thank me."

Wang Qian immediately understood. It was Qin Xuerong who boosted his data.

After some thought, Wang Qian still didn't reply to the young girl's comment. If he didn't want to get married recently, then he shouldn't provoke her. Having been in the industry for over a decade in his previous life, he had experienced and played through everything. Let's keep it simple in this life.

The development of the two songs would follow their natural course.

After tidying up a bit and cleaning his face, changing into a smart casual outfit to make himself look younger, Wang Qian left the house. He packed breakfast, ate it in a taxi, and arrived at a small theater.

Wang Qian called He Dongming.

He Dongming quickly ran out from the side door. "We just started work, and you're already here, right on time! But, you're not the first one here..."

He Dongming pulled Wang Qian into the small theater.

There was already a long line inside. About a dozen people were waiting at the theater door. Inside, singing occasionally drifted out, loud and assertive, clearly showcasing their vocal prowess.

He Dongming asked Wang Qian to stand at the back, whispering, "Go in order, when it's your turn, just go in and showcase your best strength, especially emphasize your vocal advantage. Today, there are a total of thirty people, mostly independent singers, and the rest are talented students from the Shanghai Music Academy..."

He Dongming glanced at Wang Qian, his eyes filled with doubt—apparently, you're not as professional as the others!

Wang Qian patted He Dongming's shoulder. "Don't worry, just relax. Worst case, I'll get eliminated. Don't worry about me, go do your job!"

He Dongming nodded. Seeing that Wang Qian could take it so lightly, he felt relieved. He was afraid Wang Qian would have high expectations and get discouraged if he got eliminated. He immediately turned and entered the theater through the side door.
