32. Feiyang Entertainment is starting to ramp up its efforts, and its ranking is soaring!
It must be said that Fei Yang's movements were indeed fast.
The morning after signing the contract, Zheng Ning was having breakfast when she saw a huge entertainment news story on her phone:
"Flying Entertainment announces a strategic partnership with rising star singer-songwriter Zheng Ning!"
This is a news announcement published on the official website of Feiyang Entertainment, in a prominent position at the top of their homepage.
"We are honored to have reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with Zheng Ning, a talented singer-songwriter who has recently become a sensation online. Feiyang Entertainment highly appreciates his two original songs, 'Rice Fragrance' and 'Chengdu,' and strongly recognizes and encourages Mr. Zheng Ning's innovative musical talent."
Although the news article is only this short paragraph.
However, the information it reflects has caused a small tremor in the entire entertainment industry!
"Seriously? He's just an ordinary internet celebrity singer. How come even a behemoth like Fei Yang would extend an olive branch to him?"
"I've seen that video too. He sang quite well, but there are so many videos of busking guys and girls online, why not sign them?"
"What's the use of having a nice voice? Look at the news, the most important thing they said was that they valued his talent!"
"Yes, there are so many people in the world with good voices, but those who can both sing and write are truly rare!"
Netizens have been posting their comments online, expressing great interest in this breaking news.
"Yes, if you've ever heard the song 'Rice Fragrance,' you'll know that it has broken away from the traditional love songs and the bitter love songs about unrequited love."
"On the contrary, it expresses nostalgia for the good old days, longing for home, comfort and encouragement in the face of setbacks in life, and pursuit and yearning for a better future..."
"These kinds of healing songs are really rare these days; they're a breath of fresh air in the noisy and superficial music scene!"
"Yes, yes, I think so too, and his new song 'Chengdu' perfectly captures that healing feeling!"
"Although 'Chengdu' also carries a touch of sadness, its overall atmosphere leans towards healing and warmth. It encourages us to look forward while reminiscing about the past, and to move on from the joys and sorrows of life..."
Online netizens and commentators have expressed their opinions on this matter.
Aside from a few people who, unable to obtain the grapes, expressed envy and jealousy, there were no other comments.
Public opinion generally favors Zheng Ning's creative style and talent, and is cautiously optimistic about his signing with Feiyang Entertainment.
……
"Xiao Yang, we've already contacted the publicity department. Go and follow up with them again!"
"Old Zhou, the 20 million yuan for publicity must be arranged within three days. We only have 10 days left, this can't be delayed! What? Due to procedural reasons, we can only allocate 5 million yuan first? To hell with the procedures... Fine, 5 million it is, but it has to be fast, understand?"
"There are only 10 days left on the newcomer champion chart. We must get Zheng Ning's 'Rice Fragrance' into the top 10, and if we have the chance, we should aim for the top 5!"
"Minister Yang, as you know, Feiyang Entertainment has lagged behind the other two companies in talent development for the past three years. This year is our best opportunity! Could you send us more people?"
"Minister Sun, hello, this is Xiao Zhao. We'd really appreciate it if your colleagues in the publicity department could help us out this time... I know, helping us is helping the company... Thank you so much!"
Shuncheng, Feiyang Entertainment Branch.
In a temporary office, Zhao Lu is now extremely busy.
She kept calling her subordinates and various relevant departments at the company headquarters to coordinate the promotion of "Rice Fragrance".
If she hadn't had to stay here to discuss a local commercial performance event for Zheng Ning, she probably would have rushed back to the Hengcheng headquarters last night to personally arrange all the details.
Flying, Starry Sea, and Radiance have always been the three strongest entertainment giants in the Western Continent.
Over the years, three companies have taken turns winning the highest honor of the year—the Golden Melody Award.
In the competition for, training, and development of new talent, the three companies are also fiercely competitive.
In the past, there has been a traditional annual award for newcomers—the Best Newcomer Award, which the three companies have almost taken turns winning.
But for some reason, in the past 10 years, Feiyang Entertainment has gradually fallen behind in the discovery and training of new talents. Perhaps it is because it has focused too much on high-end singers and stars, while neglecting the discovery and training of grassroots talents.
So in the past 10 years, he has won the Best Newcomer Award 5 times, while Xinghai has won it 4 times, and Feiyang only won it once, a pitiful one, 5 years ago.
So this year, the company's CEO lost his temper at the annual meeting and slammed his fist on the table.
"I don't expect you to achieve everything at once. But if Feiyang can't produce a top 10 or even top 5 new singer this year, then everyone should be prepared for the consequences!"
A reward was also offered.
If an agent can bring a new singer into the top 10, they will receive a lucrative contract with full salary.
If they can lead newcomers into the top five or even the top three, they will be given priority consideration in the selection of deputy director of the brokerage department next year.
Zhao Lu went there specifically for this purpose.
She has been with Flying Entertainment for 10 years, rising from an unknown agent assistant to a senior agent.
It's impossible for me to say that I have no feelings for the vice minister.
That's why they spared no effort in investing 1000 million yuan in promotional resources into Wang Yushu, whom they had finally discovered, and propelled him to 14th place on the new song chart.
But the publicity funds have been used up. No matter how much they promote him or what methods they try, he remains in 14th place, like a nail driven in, unmoving.
Only then did I begin to look outward, and then I happened to see Zheng Ning.
……
And it was under Fei Yang's exertion of power.
"Rice Fragrance," which was originally fixed at number 13 like a nail, has finally moved!
On the homepage of Feiyang Entertainment's official website, the Feixing link for "Rice Fragrance" is prominently displayed. Clicking on it will automatically redirect you to the Feixing Music website where you can listen to the song.
At the same time, no one knows how they acted so quickly, as countless analysis and commentary videos on the "newly popular hit song 'Rice Fragrance'" have been uploaded to major video websites and short video platforms.
Large live streaming platforms like Jiyu have seen many singing streamers receive collaboration offers and begin singing "Rice Fragrance" wholeheartedly in their live streams.
They even booked large 3D GG billboards in bustling commercial streets of Shuncheng, Hengcheng, and several other major cities, and started marking "GG" for "Rice Fragrance".
At the same time, in the bustling areas of these major cities, many street singers and live-streaming influencers sprang up like mushrooms after rain, performing the song "Rice Fragrance" on the streets.
……
This combination of techniques had an immediate and remarkable effect!
The number of downloads of "Rice Fragrance" increased rapidly, as if it had sprouted wings.
Before long, they crossed the seemingly insurmountable barrier of 12th place, rising two places to reach 11th.
