Chapter 100's popularity skyrockets! It's a viral sensation across all platforms!
Soon, the song ended, and Shen Qingcheng looked somewhat nervous.
It's normal to be nervous, after all, you're facing a veteran who has been famous for a long time, and Liu Xuan, who still holds a very important position in the music industry.
He took a deep breath and then stared ahead with a determined look.
He is confident in the song, and also confident in his performance.
As for the outcome or the final score, that's a matter of opinion.
He had no doubt about his own abilities.
Shen Qingcheng looked ahead with a determined gaze.
"It seems this young player is a bit nervous, but it's okay. Although this point is important, it doesn't have a particularly big impact on the overall competition. There's still a chance to advance later."
The host stepped forward, speaking in a slightly comforting tone.
"However, judging from the live performance and the audience's reaction, I think this song has great potential."
"Come on, let's see the final vote."
Soon, the votes of the 100 public judges were completely locked.
When everyone looked at the vote count, their eyes widened or their mouths gaped open.
They also found it hard to imagine that the vote count would remain like this.
"This number of votes is indeed unbelievable, but please look back at the big screen."
After a brief moment of surprise, the host quickly recovered.
He looked at the two of them with a smile, and the camera focused on their expressions.
"what?"
Shen Qingcheng's gaze was fixed on the vote count, his eyes filled with shock and excitement.
Shen Qingcheng, 50 votes.
Liu Xuan, 49 votes!
One vote was abstaining.
Shen Qingcheng's eyes also revealed joy and shock.
If it weren't for that abstention, the outcome for the two people might have been different.
But that's how competitive sports are; a difference of just one point is a huge gap.
Sometimes it can present a dramatic situation, like the one we're in right now.
"I wonder if Ms. Liu Xuan is satisfied with this result?"
The host looked at Liu Xuan, who, as expected of a senior in the music industry, only paused briefly before smiling again.
"The song he sang today was called 'If Back Then,' right? I really liked it. And the live performance was incredibly moving; I could feel the emotion he poured into it. This vote was well-deserved!"
Liu Xuan directly praised Shen Qingcheng's emotional appeal.
"His singing skills are also very strong. At least among the new generation of young singers, he is considered quite powerful. He has a promising future. Keep it up, young man."
That's what it means to have a good mindset. Even if you lose, you can face it calmly without feeling disappointed.
But she still felt a little regretful for losing the vote.
"I hope to meet him again in the next match, in future matches, and then we can have another competition."
The host handed the microphone to Shen Qingcheng.
"Thank you for your recognition, Ms. Liu Xuan. I was watching your performance backstage just now, and I was completely captivated."
"I never expected such a dramatic turn of events. Liu Xuan is a senior figure in the music industry whom I have always respected. If I were to meet her again in the competition, I would give it my all."
The two exchanged pleasantries, but in any case, Shen Qingcheng had secured the point.
He only needs to win one more game to advance directly to the quarterfinals.
"One point, that's still pretty impressive."
Mom nodded in agreement and took a big bite of the potato chip.
"This young man's singing skills are quite good. His voice is clear and distinctive, and it's quite pleasant to listen to."
Xue Lin nodded. It was more than just good; this person was a professionally trained artist, so his talent was naturally beyond question.
Moreover, her own conditions are also very good. Her appearance, height, and voice are all top-notch. It can be said that she definitely has enough potential. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been pushed to the point of being a second-rate variety show.
Appearance and height are definitely a plus for a singer.
To stand out among a group of singers, one can only rely on solid skills.
However, if someone has a striking appearance, they can gain some support and advantages in the competition.

However, Xue Lin didn't think that much about it. He just felt that it seemed like a good choice to have Shen Qingcheng sing this song.
The two should have more opportunities to collaborate in the future, since choosing the right person for these songs is very important to him.
"I don't know if they'll ask me to collaborate on the next song. But 20,000 yuan a song is about right." Xue Lin just smiled, but didn't think about it too much.
His music lyrics will soon be orange, at which point his musical level will be no less than those of professionals, and may even be better. He will be able to continue to forge his own path.
These were just minor incidents; he continued to study, as the third mock exam was fast approaching.
The three models were also extremely important to him.
In fact, every exam in high school is crucial.
If we can get good results, that would be the best.
It is also an opportunity to test one's learning outcomes.
After all, I've studied so diligently every day and thoroughly mastered several subjects.
He would be very disappointed if his score did not meet his expectations.
Lin Qingning still comes every weekend, but for shorter and shorter periods of time.
After all, Xue Lin might have other things to do when he goes out.
"Which of these two songs, 'If It Were Back Then' and 'Water Moon,' do you think should be highly recommended?"
Inside the production team, several high-ranking executives sat there, their eyes all conveying a sense of solemnity.
They were all discussing very enthusiastically who should be nominated this time.
After all, both "Water Moon" and "If Back Then" are highly rated in their rating system.
It's fair to say that both of these songs have the potential to become hits.
For music variety shows like this, as long as a song becomes a hit and goes viral across the internet, the show can ride the wave and at least increase its viewership.
Ratings equal money!
With sufficient viewership and click-through rates, more manufacturers will seek to collaborate with them, or they will be targeted by various entities—
The major video platform bought out the rights.
Both songs have the potential to become hits, and the dilemma for them is which one to promote.
After all, the production team's budget was extremely limited, and they couldn't spend all the money on two songs. So they had to take a gamble, hoping that the song would become a hit or have enough viewership.
Let's vote to decide.
One of the higher-ups spoke up.
The other senior executives nodded in agreement.
"Let's first talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the two songs. The copyright of the song 'Water Moon' is held by Liu Xuan herself. If the copyright of this song was a personal copyright at the time, it would be held by the composer."
Everyone nodded slightly at this point.
"But its advantages are also obvious. If this song could have surpassed Shuiyue in the votes at that time, it would have proven that the song itself was extremely strong."
"And as everyone has heard, there was even a video of this song released online, which has already reached 300,000 likes."
"It's clear that this song is quite popular; there are already test videos."
"Okay, everyone, let's vote by raising your hands."
"6
"Raise your hand if you agree to operate Shuiyue."
In the end, only two people raised their hands.
"Assistant director, why did you think this song would have had more promotional value back then?"
The director looked at one of the assistant directors with a slight surprise.
He knew that this assistant director had recommended the song "Water Moon" to him several times before, but this time he didn't raise his hand.
"It's very simple. I only look at the number of votes. As long as the number of votes can surpass that of Shuiyue, it proves that the quality of this song is extremely high."
""
"Liu Xuan is already a big name, and with her own promotion, she can make the song 'Shuiyue' a hit. Our program should focus on promoting ordinary people. As long as we can make one person famous, the platform will naturally create its own idol. If there is a next season, it will also attract the attention of many manufacturers."
"Yes, that's what I think too," one of them said.
"Being able to surpass Shuiyue in the vote proves the song's strength, and Shen Qingcheng's performance was also excellent. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to surpass a top-tier singer."
Everyone nodded slightly.
Liu Xuan's rendition of "Water Moon" received over 40 votes, but at least 10 of those votes were cast for Liu Xuan herself.
If it were truly an amateur singer, the outcome might be completely different.
"Alright, let's give this young man a try."
After the meeting, everyone went about their own business.
But promoting this song will definitely require a lot of investment.
Soon, on the Moyin short video platform, if the stage version of this song had been released at that time, it would have received 20 likes in just one hour.
Of course, this data reflects the popularity of the purchase.
But even if you buy popularity, you still need to retain people, which requires sufficient content quality.
"This song really seems to have the potential to become a hit."
"And it's become incredibly popular!"
The assistant director looked quietly at the data in front of him, a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Brother Qingcheng, the show has given you a boost in viewership."
"Really?"
Shen Qingcheng spoke, even though he had anticipated this situation.
After all, the songs selected by the program team will definitely be heavily promoted; at the very least, they need to make a song that can generate significant buzz.
If this song had been a similar hit back then...
But I didn't expect it to be a key operation so quickly.
Whether a song is good or bad is something everyone can predict.
Just by looking at the votes, you can see that his song can surpass any song sung by a top-tier singer, which means that this song has enormous potential.
"Shall we continue with another song request?"
The agent inquired.
"Sure, why not?"
Shen Qingcheng spoke up, "However, Teacher Xue Lin might raise the price again, but that's unavoidable, since this song is still extremely popular."
Shen Qingcheng glanced at the data and saw that in just half a day, it had already reached more than 80 likes.
The streaming time for the "magic sound" was basically at the end of the first day.
In other words, the peak time for streaming is at night.
This is just an initial test of traffic, but with such high numbers already, the final numbers will definitely not be low!
It's entirely possible that it could even reach several million.
"Why don't you ask first?"
Shen Qingcheng spoke up. The agent was a new intern at the company, but after all, she was a company employee.
Therefore, I am quite familiar with the operational approach.
Shen Qingcheng still relies on his agent most of the time.
Even now, Shen Qingcheng has not personally spoken to Xue Lin.
But it doesn't matter. If the company really wants to continue developing him, then we will definitely continue to cooperate.
"Teacher Xue Lin's songs are all truly wonderful."
"And it's completely original."
He glanced at the two songs in his hand; each of them was quite strong.
And that's how he overcame all obstacles and won the game.
"If we could continue to collaborate with such outstanding creators, that would be perfect."
He was thinking to himself.
Soon Xue Lin received a message from Shen Qingcheng's agent, and Xue Lin readily agreed as always.
Judging from the previous two songs, Shen Qingcheng's abilities are quite good. He only needs an opportunity to soar to great heights, and this stage is precisely that opportunity for him.
"If this person can create a few hit songs on stage, could they go directly from an unknown newcomer in the entertainment industry to a top-tier singer?"
Xue Lin just smiled gently, but the singer is just a vehicle; the copyright of the songs is what really makes money.
Without thinking much, he sent over a demo of a song.
-
If at that time, the song had spread extremely quickly on Moyin short video platform, from 200 million likes on the first day to 5 million likes in 500 days.
The hype gradually died down.
As for page views, they were practically viewed by everyone!
This song evokes memories of youth for most people, recalling those carefree years.
It evokes a wonderful feeling of bygone days.
Moreover, those audio clips were made into background music online and became popular background music for short videos.
Along with it, the previous work "Starlight is Just Ahead" also became popular for a while.
Although it doesn't ferment as quickly as this one, it's in no way inferior.
Perhaps if it was a more mainstream song at the time, the previous song "Starlight is Just Ahead" was more inspirational and became popular because of its background music.
In a short time, the name Xue Lin gradually became popular in the music industry.
Some people also started to have their own ideas.
