Chapter 9 Earning Two Million a Day
Reading Settings
There has been a lot of discussion about "Singer Who Makes Waves" online, but Xiao Qingfeng hasn't paid much attention to it and is busy with his own things.
I've uploaded several songs to the Huaxia Original Music Copyright Network these past few days, since I'll need them for the competition later.
In addition, Xiao Qingfeng recorded both the pure and instrumental versions of the songs, including the previously performed "The Wind Rises" and "Cherish," and uploaded these two songs directly to the KuMao platform.
KuMao is a comprehensive music platform accessible to everyone. Anyone can directly publish songs on the platform, and it is currently the music platform with the largest number of downloads in China.
Because the CoolCat platform has a very user-friendly feature that allows uploaders to set their songs to either "paid" or "free" modes.
If it is set to a paid status, each download will cost one yuan, and the same account can listen to it for life once it downloads.
Of course, the platform will charge a fee for this one dollar, and the singer and the platform will split the revenue at a ratio of 9:1.
After Xiao Qingfeng uploaded "The Wind Rises" and "Cherish" to the KuMao platform, they quickly spread online.
"Wow, Xiao Qingfeng's 'The Wind Rises' and 'Cherish' have finally been uploaded to the KuMao platform! Go listen to them now!"
"I've been looking forward to hearing these two songs on the platform, and I didn't expect it to happen so soon. I downloaded them immediately!"
"Xiao Qingfeng's songs have always been of high quality, and these two are no exception. 'The Wind Rises' has a beautiful melody, and 'Cherish' has touching lyrics."
"I've made both of these songs available for paid download, and it's totally worth it for just one yuan! I support Xiao Qingfeng! And did you know that 'The Wind Rises' has already surpassed 1 million downloads!"
Online, the downloads of Xiao Qingfeng's two songs quickly surged. In just one day, "The Wind Rises" surpassed 1 million downloads, and "Cherish" reached 1.6 million downloads.
The reviews of both songs from the netizens who downloaded them were almost unanimously positive.
"The song 'The Wind Rises' evokes memories and feelings of youth, captivating listeners."
"The lyrics of 'Cherish' deeply touched my heart, and I have different feelings every time I listen to it."
"Xiao Qingfeng's voice is so unique, and he performed these two songs to the fullest."
"I feel like these two songs will become classics. I can't stop listening to them on repeat. I've been listening to them on repeat all day!"
......
When Xiao Qingfeng opened the KuCat platform again that evening, he was found to have two songs that had actually reached the top two spots on the daily chart.
Almost all platforms now have daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly charts, which require comprehensive scoring based on four dimensions: song clicks, downloads, comments, and overall online popularity.
Xiao Qingfeng himself did not expect that his two songs would reach the top 1 and top 2 of the daily chart in less than a day.
However, that wasn't his biggest concern. What Xiao Qingfeng cared about most was the number of downloads, because that was a matter of money.
This is quite remarkable. The two songs have been downloaded more than 2.5 million times in less than 24 hours, and the estimated revenue for today is more than 2.3 million.
Because the platform uses a T+1 withdrawal mechanism, Xiao Qingfeng would have to wait until tomorrow to withdraw his money; otherwise, he really wanted to withdraw it now.
Although the duo Qingluan Peak, formed by Qianshen and Xia Luan, had made a name for themselves and gained considerable fame in the past three years, their contracts were signed three years ago and were completely newcomer contracts with extremely low profit sharing.
So in the past three years, Xiao Qingfeng has earned less than two million in total, and he recently spent that two million on a house for his parents, almost depleting his savings.
If it weren't for the two million yuan hush money you swindled from Cheng Yue, you wouldn't even have thirty thousand yuan on you.
As a time traveler, Xiao Qingfeng knew all too well the importance of money. Money isn't everything, but you can't do anything without it. So he didn't have any grand ambitions; his greatest strength now was making money.
What he cares about is not being able to do whatever he wants after he has money, but rather not being able to do whatever he doesn't want to do after he has money.
In his previous life, he was also a singer, the youngest original singer in the Chinese music scene, but he was blacklisted because he refused to accept the unspoken rules of his male boss.
In this life, he would never allow such a thing to happen again. This time, even if there were unspoken rules, he would be the one to use them against others, not the other way around!
As the two songs gained popularity on online platforms, Xiao Qingfeng's popularity soared, which was directly reflected in his fans across the internet.
The Douyin account, which originally had only 500,000 followers, broke through 2 million in just two days, and the number of followers on the blog also increased from 300,000 to 1.3 million.
As for the Cool Cat account, which only had a few thousand followers, it saw the biggest increase, surpassing 1 million followers in a single day.
Such a rapid increase in followers is quite astonishing on the entire internet.
As Xiao Qingfeng and his songs continued to trend on the internet, Xia Luan naturally saw it and her mood immediately became very depressed.
She originally thought that Xiao Qingfeng would become depressed and despondent after leaving her, but things turned out to be completely the opposite.
Especially after talking to Xiao Qingfeng on the phone, she had mixed feelings.
Xiao Qingfeng, who was indifferent to her, was a stranger to her, yet she was also very curious about him, and even had an urge to meet him.
When they were together, they saw each other every day, but she always found Xiao Qingfeng annoying, and in the end, she couldn't hide her disgust whenever she saw him.
Now, for some reason, Xiao Qingfeng has given her a completely new feeling!
"Am I psychologically abnormal, or do I have a masochistic personality?"
Lying in bed, Xia Luan began to question the meaning of life and even thought that she must see a psychologist when she had time in the future.
On the other side, Lin Fei was so angry at seeing this scene that he couldn't sleep!
"Xiao Qingfeng, although you're on the rise, the entertainment industry is ultimately a world of capital. You can't possibly be my match. I'm determined to make you completely withdraw from the entertainment industry!"
......
Time flies, and soon it will be the day when the first episode of "Singer Who Makes Waves" will air!
Hunan TV has scheduled this flagship music variety show for prime time every Friday night, which shows how much importance the station attaches to the program.
Thanks to the show's pre-show promotion and the existing audience base from the previous eleven seasons, the number of online viewers for the first episode exceeded ten million.
Until the moment before the live stream started, netizens were still speculating about the identity of this mysterious seventh person.
There are many conflicting opinions online, but no one has any solid evidence!
After all, this was a scheme orchestrated by Xiao Qingfeng and Zong Hai to surprise everyone. Moreover, after a few days of development, Xiao Qingfeng's reputation and popularity have undergone a dramatic reversal.
Zong Hai was almost certain that the moment Xiao Qingfeng appeared would absolutely ignite the entire internet!
As the audience eagerly awaited the moment, the time finally arrived at eight o'clock!
"Singer Who Makes Waves" has arrived as scheduled!
The live streaming platform also launched immediately!
The viewers who had been waiting for a long time rushed into the live broadcast room!
The number of viewers exceeded ten million in just a few minutes, which shows how popular this music program is.
As one of Hunan TV's most profitable and popular flagship programs, the show also features He Han, Hunan TV's undisputed star host.
