DAEYTT Chapter 021 The first, second, and third are all mine, the opportunity has come...

Wang Qian glanced at the rankings.

Not only the first!

The second!

The third!

The singer's name is his.

First, "The Ordinary Road" by Qian Qianjun. 150,874 listens, 138,560 downloads.

Second, "Once Upon a Time You" by Qian Qianjun. 145,951 listens, 135,823 downloads.

Third, "Alive" by Qian Qianjun. 141,238 listens, 130,955 downloads!

Fourth, "Sound of the Waves" by Yuexia Langzi. 1,088,523 listens, 98,125 downloads!

...

In the independent singer circle, it was already exploding!

Originally.

Everyone was getting along well.

Independent singers mostly stuck together for warmth. Some had a bit of talent but limited power and didn't want to be bound by talent agencies or couldn't stand the people in the entertainment industry. Or they were strong and talented but insisted on doing their own niche music, which had no market, so no company wanted to sign them.

However, no matter how niche the music was, there were people who liked it, as long as you put your heart into it.

So.

When a singer was about to release a song, they would announce it in the circle. Other capable independent singers would deliberately avoid it to avoid competition, so the data wouldn't look too good.

This was an implicit rule!

Not only in the independent singer circle, but also in the entire pop music circle, it was the same, to avoid competing with each other.

Therefore, it was rare for someone like Wang Qian to come in and directly seize the top three spots from another independent singer who had already held the top spot for a week.

Not only did he take the top spot.

But also the second and third spots, directly pushing the other person down to fourth, and pushing the other three songs down to the teens.

The top three were all works of the same singer!

This wasn't just rare, it was the first time it had happened.

So, in many independent singer groups, there were similar discussions.

"Is this Qian Qianjun too arrogant? It's only been three days, and he's taken the top three?"

"Poor Yuexia Langzi. Who's going to release a song now to sanction this Qian Qianjun and pull him down!"

"It can't be sanctioned. I heard that in a couple of days, the website will give him a big recommendation, and the data will be even more terrifying."

"And Langzi? Any thoughts?"

"This guy is too amazing. I downloaded these three songs too, and I personally like them. But I didn't expect so many people to approve of them, with a pay rate of over ninety percent! Amazing!"

"I dare not provoke, I'm out..."

...

Yuexia Langzi's Weibo was also very quiet, not even posting information about his new song anymore, and there was hardly any discussion on other platforms about his new song.

...

After uploading "Not So Simple", Wang Qian shouted on Weibo.

"Not So Simple has been produced and uploaded. Those who like it can go download it. Thanks for your support..."

There were not too many affected words, just this simple and direct one.

There were quickly many replies below.

"I've already downloaded it and am listening."

"The boss's songs must be supported. I was at the live performance yesterday, it's really good. I went again today, but unfortunately didn't run into the boss!"

"The boss's creative speed is a bit fast, this is already the fourth song, and they're all so good. Amazing."

"Boss, do you know you've taken the top three spots on the independent singer original song monthly chart?"

"Boss... You've scared Langzi's fans away."

"Boss, when will another branch of Haidilao open? I've been going for three days in a row after work, but couldn't get a table, so I had to go home and eat instant noodles..."

...

Wang Qian carefully looked at these comments from fans.

Those who left comments below his post at the first time were basically his most loyal fans and his base.

So, he had to listen to these voices.

Haidilao branch.

He wanted to open one.

But.

He didn't have enough money.

He wanted to buy a storefront to open a store, not rent one.

And, he had already set his sights on several storefronts for opening branches. The cheapest one cost over thirty million, and the most expensive one exceeded a small target.

So, he could only slowly save money. He should be able to get a storefront and open the third Haidilao in Shanghai by the end of the year.

He refreshed the page.

"Not So Simple," 10 listens, 3,080 downloads!

Everyone is very supportive.

Most of them just download directly without listening.

This was the standard configuration for brain-dead fans.

Wang Qian felt a little smug in his heart.

With brain-dead fans, it proved that he was on the right path.

However, Wang Qian had already set his sights higher.

The circle of independent singers could no longer contain him.

He opened the homepage of the website's general chart.

The first place was still Li Qingyao's new single, with listening data reaching over 19 million and nearly 2 million downloads, more than ten times that of Wang Qian's highest-ranked "Ordinary Road."

The tenth place song also had over 10 million listens and more than 1.3 million downloads.

However, Wang Qian's three songs were all ranked within the top 40 on the overall chart, which was already very high for an independent singer.

The top 50 were basically all professional singers, either established artists or newcomers heavily promoted by major companies with substantial resources, making it impossible for independent singers from small circles to compete.

So, Wang Qian's current ranking was already very high.

But, Wang Qian didn't see it that way.

He thought he could climb even higher.

Now, what he lacked was exposure.

He opened the backend to check today's information but didn't see any recommendation notifications, feeling slightly disappointed.

Buzz...

The phone vibrated.

Wang Qian saw it was He Dongming and picked up, "What's up?"

He Dongming said, "I just got off work. Hey, Qianzi, you're the first to perform in the first episode, nervous?"

Wang Qian was taken aback, then asked, "Why am I first?"

He Dongming smiled wryly, "Director Zhou specifically chose you, I had no say. What song will you sing? It's best to come over early these days to get familiar with the venue and rehearse on site!"

Wang Qian frowned, "Alright, I got it. I'll come over the day after tomorrow. Is there a place to stay?"

He Dongming said, "Yes, I have plenty of rooms in my place, just come over."

Wang Qian replied, "Okay, I'll call you when I arrive. Get some rest."

It was already nearing midnight.

He Dongming, indeed exhausted, said, "Alright, see you."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Qian visited the Voice of China official website.

He found that the website only introduced the special features of this season's competition and emphasized the strength of the students and the mentor lineup.

But, there was no mention of who the contestants or mentors were.

There were only two silhouette posters with question marks on them!

Very mysterious.

This had sparked a lot of discussion.

Every day, the show's official Weibo had hot topics about Voice of China, discussing the contestants and mentors, etc.

This was exactly what the program team wanted.

Wang Qian always aimed to do his best.

Being the first to perform certainly came with pressure.

But at the same time, if he performed well, the pressure would shift to the contestants after him.

He picked up the phone and called Zhou Xuehua.

Two seconds later, it connected.

Wang Qian apologized, "Brother Hua, hope I'm not disturbing you this late?"

Zhou Xuehua said, "It's not too late, I wasn't planning on sleeping yet. You must have something important if you're calling this late?"

Wang Qian replied, "Definitely not just for a chat. I want to hire some professional musicians to record an accompaniment for me tomorrow. Do you have anyone you can recommend?"

Zhou Xuehua paused for a moment, then immediately agreed, "Sure, come to my company tomorrow."

Wang Qian said, "Great, thanks a lot, Brother Hua."

Zhou Xuehua chuckled, "No need to thank me. You'll need to pay this time. I hope you develop well and don't waste your talent. I'm a fan of your music now, I listen to every song. I hope you release even better works."

Wang Qian said, "Whatever the cost, it's no problem."

After hanging up, Wang Qian posted on Weibo: "A new beginning is about to set sail."

He refreshed the page.

"Not So Simple," 1,500 listens, 10,809 downloads!

In just ten minutes, the numbers had increased quickly, far exceeding the same period for his previous three songs.

Ding!

A notification appeared.

"Your songs 'Ordinary Road,' 'The Former You,' and 'Alive' will be featured on the homepage small cover tomorrow!"

Wang Qian smiled.

Opportunity had come.

This website was fair after all.
