DAEYTT Chapter 029 Why isn't there me? Four of the top ten on the list are me.

Shanghai to West Lake City is very close. Wang Qian hadn't fallen asleep yet when he arrived by car.

Ding!

A text message came in. He picked up his phone and read it.

Qin Xuerong: "Have you arrived? Do you have a place to stay? My friend has an empty house over there. Do you want me to ask him to pick you up?"

Wang Qian hurriedly replied: "No need, I'm staying at a friend's house!"

Qin Xuerong: "Okay, good luck! Actually, I might miss you a bit."

...

Wang Qian fell silent, unsure of how to reply to make Qin Xuerong not misunderstand.

"Go to sleep early, goodnight!"

After thinking for a few seconds, he could only give such a reply.

Wang Qian picked up his backpack and got off the train.

He Dongming was holding a sign with "Hot Pot Tycoon" printed on it at the entrance of the station. His burly figure was quite eye-catching, and he spotted Wang Qian immediately.

"Hot Pot Tycoon... Let's go."

He Dongming came over to help Wang Qian with his bag, teasing: "How's the preparation?"

Wang Qian yawned: "It's alright, I've arranged a few pieces of background music with someone these past two days."

He Dongming was surprised: "Really doing original work? You arranged the music yourself?"

Wang Qian said naturally: "Of course? The four songs I released, I arranged them myself, recorded them myself, and did the post-production myself."

He Dongming looked Wang Qian up and down: "Did you pick the wrong major back then? You should have studied music."

Wang Qian: "Haha, stop talking nonsense."

The two chatted as He Dongming drove Wang Qian to a high-end community in West Lake City and entered a high-rise building.

Top floor, a 110-square-meter three-bedroom!

He Dongming threw a pair of slippers to Wang Qian: "Just sit wherever, I'm the only one living here, do whatever you want."

Wang Qian looked around and was slightly surprised: "This is great, you've been here for a few years and already have a house? Just missing a wife?"

He knew that He Dongming was from an ordinary family.

Of course, it was a relatively ordinary family compared to those big shots.

In fact, with both parents working, it was already considered an affluent family.

However, even for a dual-income family, buying a hundred-square-meter house in such a prime location in West Lake City would basically drain their savings.

And He Dongming might still be carrying a large loan.

He Dongming took out a bottle of drink from the fridge and threw it to Wang Qian, then opened a can of beer for himself, bringing out some cold dishes and placing them on the coffee table: "Forget about dreaming of a wife, can't afford one for now. Want some noodles, or should I order takeout?"

Wang Qian nodded: "Just cook some noodles, let's not stand on ceremony, even instant noodles will do."

He Dongming nodded, took out a stack of papers from the table and handed them to Wang Qian, then went to the kitchen to cook noodles: "Take a look, this is the information."

Wang Qian curiously picked it up and took a look.

The first photo was of a person wearing a white pleated skirt, a red ribbon hanging from her long, slender neck, delicate makeup on her exquisite face, a petite melon seed face, a straight nose, cherry-like lips, and a pair of eyes pure as stars but full of confidence. Her hair was tied up in a simple bun, perfectly showcasing her entire face!

This is...

Wang Qian felt somewhat familiar.

Seems like he had seen her somewhere!

He Dongming stuck his head out: "Recognize her? We saw her when we signed the contract that day, Chen Xiaowen, the talented contestant from Central Conservatory of Music!"

Wang Qian nodded, remembering. Indeed, he saw her once when they signed the contract that day, but he didn't pay attention, so the impression wasn't deep. If it wasn't for Ma Yunlong emphasizing it at the time, he wouldn't have noticed.

He Dongming continued: "She can also sing stable dolphin tones. During the audition, she could sing three octaves, but in reality, she can sing four octaves. Her singing skills are also very mature. She's the number one seed contestant of this season! The program team is already planning to push her. She has both talent and looks, with unlimited prospects in the future."

A vocal range of four octaves?

Impressive.

Wang Qian nodded: "Impressive."

Putting down Chen Xiaowen's photo.

Wang Qian saw a photo that immediately made it hard to distinguish whether it was a man or a woman.

Of course, it looked like a man with short hair.

But the makeup was too heavy...

Seems like it's not a man either.

He Dongming glanced at the photo: "That's Huang Tao. He came to the studio yesterday, walked around on stage, but his makeup was too heavy. He's being promoted as the rising star by Tian Shan Entertainment, and they've already started preparing to promote him on several major social platforms. Once he performs on stage, it'll be a massive hype."

"He's mediocre in terms of talent, knows a bit of everything, but none of it is professional enough. His singing barely meets the threshold of a professional singer, has some basic composition skills, and can dance, albeit mediocrely. If it weren't for the resources his company is pouring in, the program team wouldn't even want him."

Hehe...

Wang Qian smiled and casually dropped it.

The third photo was also of a man, with a square face, thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a relatively wide mouth, very masculine...

He Dongming continued his commentary: "Mo Wenjie, the strongest independent singer discovered by the program team. He's already signed with Southern Entertainment Group. He has a unique voice, sufficient lung capacity, and a wide vocal range. His singing skills are at a professional level, and he sings with full emotion. He has many fans on short video websites! He's also the main promoted contestant of this season, with hopes of winning the championship."

Wang Qian quickly flipped through.

Didn't see his own photo?

Afraid he missed it, he carefully looked again, but still didn't find it.

"Where's my photo?"

Wang Qian shouted to He Dongming.

He Dongming didn't turn back: "Not made yet! Director Zhou said, wait until after your first blind audition and see if you're not eliminated."

Wang Qian was speechless: "They look down on me like this?"

He Dongming: "Otherwise? Who asked you to insist on singing original songs? This is a talent show, not a platform for releasing new songs for you. Even if it's a new song from a big star, it still needs money for promotion and hype to get people's attention. You're choosing an original new song that no one has heard of. How can it resonate with everyone? How can you get people's support?"

Wang Qian: "What about The Voice of China? Isn't having a voice enough?"

He Dongming: "Then don't sing, let everyone shout into a microphone."

Wang Qian was momentarily unable to refute.

He opened his computer, determined to make He Dongming feel ashamed with his own abilities.

He entered the backend of the music website.

Rows of data appeared.

Former You, listened to 2,851,205 times, downloaded 1,965,880 times.

Ordinary Road, listened to 3,014,260 times, downloaded 2,104,650 times.

Alive, listened to 2,632,680 times, downloaded 1,694,500 times.

The last one was the most explosive.

Wang Qian widened his eyes as he looked at it.

Not So Simple, listened to 4,808,066 times, downloaded 2,624,610 times!

After another day of accumulation.

The data for the four songs skyrocketed again, with a slight decrease in the payment ratio, but still terrifying.

Wang Qian quickly clicked on the homepage and looked at the New Song Total Chart.

First place.

Still Li Qingyao's new song, listened to 29,007,801 times, downloaded 2,884,065 times!

Li Qingyao's new song also saw a significant increase in data today compared to usual.

It seems.

They're really focusing on promotion.

Wang Qian's Not So Simple ranked second.

Still Wang Qian's Ordinary Road.

Also Wang Qian's Former You!

Alive ranked sixth.

In the top ten!

Four songs, all under the same name.

Modest Gentleman!

Moreover, among the top twenty new songs, it has the fewest listens, relying on its strong retention rate to maintain the highest payment ratio.

In other words, the potential of Wang Qian's songs is still very large.

Exposure is still not enough!

Other relatively popular new songs have tens of millions of listens.

Wang Qian laughed and shouted to He Dongming: "Mingzi, come over and take a look!"
