I collapsed from the top, and the system just showed up?

During these days, Wang Mo did not visit the Vocal Department.

However, the Vocal Department was far from being calm.

The main reason was a particular incident: Wang Mo refused to give his second song that He Zhi had personally requested. Instead, he gave this song to the relatively unknown Su Xueyao.

The news spread quickly throughout the Vocal Department.

“He’s acting all high and mighty!”

“Damn, does he think he’s still a top-tier idol?”

“He’s really acting too arrogantly.”

“He Zhi asked him for a song, and not only did he refuse but also gave it to a singer who is far inferior to her?”

“I heard He Zhi didn’t say much on the surface but I bet she got genuinely angered.”

“Who wouldn’t get angry? Does Wang Mo really think he can do whatever he wants after his first song, ‘It Doesn’t Matter’, grabbed the first place on the Newcomer Chart? ‘It Doesn’t Matter’ owes its success to Hao Mingxing’s talented voice, otherwise, the song’s just trash. Look at the other singers in the company, none of them could have sung that song well, only Hao Mingxing did.”

Even when this wave of discussions hadn’t yet subsided, the next shocking news arrived.

At three o’clock this afternoon, Su Xueyao released a new song.

The new song was titled “Invisible Wings.”

The lyricist and composer of the new song were listed as “Silent”.

Clearly, this was the song Wang Mo had written, the same one he had refused to give to He Zhi.

Then, chaos erupted in the office area.

“Am I hearing this right? Su Xueyao released a new song today?”

“What kind of joke is this?”

“Has she completely given up on competing on the charts?”

“I can’t believe this. Releasing a new song on the fifth day, it’s like deliberately admitting deafeat.”

“In my opinion, Su Xueyao releasing a song today is entirely normal. Because she can only show her weakness. Why? Because Su Xueyao has already released two songs before, therefore she can’t be considered a newcomer. In this case, her song can only compete in the New Song Chart. Look at the new song chart this month, it’s a fierce competition. Don’t talk about Su Xueyao, even if He Zhi was the one releasing the song, there’s a high probability she’ll be suppressed.”

“What you’re saying makes no sense. If Su Xueyao thinks she has no chance of competing in the chart this time, she could still release the song in October. Why would she rush like this?”

“Maybe she has confidence in Wang Mo.”

“Hehe… Confidence? Let me tell you: even if Wang Mo wrote another song as good as ‘It Doesn’t Matter’, competing on the New Song Chart after delaying the release by five days is still impossible!”

…

This discussion wasn’t limited to the Vocal Department. Soon, it spread to the Composition Department.

However, the employees in the Composition Department were more inclined to give the benefit of the doubt, mainly because Wang Mo had won them a bonus of 100,000 yuan last month.

People are short-sighted and easily swayed by kindness.

Even so, they still couldn’t understand why Wang Mo was in such a hurry to release a song.

Liu Zhengwen rushed over to Wang Mo in a hurry: “Bro, I’ll call you big brother. But why did you release the song today?”

Wang Mo: “Is it not okay?”

Liu Zhengwen: “Of course not!”

Wang Mo: “But it’s already released.”

Liu Zhengwen looked at Wang Mo’s innocent expression and wished he could strangle him: “Do you know what releasing a song on the fifth of September means? It means the song charts are now out of your reach! It means you’ve wasted a good song! It means all the fame accumulated from ‘It Doesn’t Matter’ has been completely nullified! You, you’re too wilful! Too wilful! Practically, your last song achieved such good results. If you had released this song on the first, I could have talked to Manager Qian to ask the publicity department for more and better resources for promotion. Even if you hadn’t given the song to He Zhi, there would still have been a chance to compete for the top ten on the Newcomer Chart. And now, it’s all gone!”

“Sigh, you’ve wasted a good hand of cards.”

Wang Mo remained silent.

After Liu Zhengwen spoke for a while, unwillingly he said, “Forget it, I still have to take a gamble. I’ll go find Qian Lun to ask for resources now. Although the promotion is a bit late, it’s better than nothing. Let’s see if we can push this song into the top fifty of the Newcomer Chart. If it enters the top fifty, it would still give me some comfort.”

After saying that, he turned around to leave.

Wang Mo shouted, “Manager Liu, I forgot to tell you, Su Xueyao is not a newcomer, she has released songs before. So, the song can only compete on the New Song Chart!”

“…”

Liu Zhengwen slipped a bit, almost falling flat on his face.

…

After Liu Zhengwen left, Wang Mo opened the Yun Net.

He had heard that the New Song Chart for September was intense, so he wanted to check what the situation was.

First, he checked “Invisible Wings.”

As expected, just after its release, the song was drowned in the vast sea with other songs.

On the Yun Net’s New Song Chart, any song that entered the top five hundred would display real-time rankings on its song page.

At this moment, “Invisible Wings” still had no ranking data.

This meant that it hadn’t even reached the top five hundred.

Starting from the five-hundredth position, Wang Mo scrolled through the chart.

Upon inspection, he realized why Liu Zhengwen’s face turned dark when he heard that “Invisible Wings” could only compete on the New Song Chart.

It could be said that even songs entering the top five hundred had comparable popularity to those in the top fifty of the Newcomer Chart. Each artist essentially brought their own fanbase.

For this reason alone newcomers had no chance to compete.

When Wang Mo reached the top one hundred on the New Song Chart, the song data here was already comparable to the top ten of the Newcomer Chart. Many singers were also somewhat famous.

“Really impressive!”

Wang Mo nodded in acknowledgment.

He randomly clicked on a few songs and listened to a few lines, the quality was passable.

It could be said that entering the top one hundred of the New Song Chart was akin to a battleground between major entertainment companies.

Ordinary independent singers, no matter how well their songs were written, without any opportunities, they had little chance of breaking into the top one hundred.

Looking at the entire music industry, which famous singer had climbed up from the grassroots, taking it step by step, without signing for a company?

None!

Not a single one!

Any independent singer with a bit of talent would be snatched up by major entertainment companies.

Without the packaging, promotion, and advertisements from big companies, the probability for independent singers to stand out in the music industry was not close to zero, it was genuinely zero!

Wang Mo paid attention to one detail:
From the top two hundred of the New Song Chart onwards, all the singers were signed artists from major entertainment companies.

Independent singers couldn’t even dream of entering the top two hundred.

As he went further into the top one hundred, Wang Mo gradually saw many familiar names in the entertainment industry.

“Cui Can, Xue Miaomiao, Yu Hui, He Junchi…”

A preliminary estimate revealed around twenty to thirty well-known figures in the music industry.

As for the top ten of the New Song Chart:
Six were B-tier singers.
Three were A-tier singers.
Currently ranked first was a quasi-diva in today’s music scene, named Ye Yuanhang.

“In just five days, Ye Yuanhang’s new song has already accumulated five million plays!
However, the second and third-ranked songs are also sung by two A-tier frontline singers.

Second place: 4.62 million plays.

Third place: 4.39 million plays.

The gap between the top three were not that significant. So, on the current New Song Chart, two frontline singers and a quasi-diva were fiercely competing.

Everyone wanted to seize the first place.

Being first on the New Song Chart is far more prestigious than being first on the Newcomer Chart!
Even the top-ten artists were all putting in extra efforts. Those at the front want to maintain their positions, while those behind were looking to advance further.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that the September New Song Chart could be described as an intense battlefield for immortals.

“Impressive, really impressive.”

Wang Mo nodded again, his mind still relatively calm.

Since it was a battle among immortals, let the immortals fight for a few more days on the chart.

Otherwise, they would have no chance.

So what if the song is released five days late?

So what if the New Song Chart is intense?

Because in the Chinese music scene, Wang Mo has never believed in any other song as much as he believed in “Invisible Wings”.

In his previous life!
A solo performance at the 2007 Spring Festival Gala.

A pillar of spiritual support during the 2008 earthquake.

Essay topic for the 2009 college entrance examination.

Any one of these achievements could elevate a song to a divine status.

But “Invisible Wings” achieved all of these three.

Looking across the entire music industry.

There was nothing comparable.

So…

Wang Mo’s heart was completely without any worry.

Let the bullets fly for a while.”
