Chapter 352

When Uesugi Kenji saw it, the amount of donations alone had already exceeded 20,000, not to mention the number of downloads.

"Enduring the Cold Wind for You" has over 360,000 listens and over 150,000 downloads.

The song "Twelve" has been listened to over 280,000 times and downloaded 130,000 times.

In terms of total numbers, "Enduring the Cold Wind for You" currently has the advantage.

The Weibo post by Kenichi Uesugi, which showed that the song had already been uploaded, once again topped the 24-hour trending list.

Many casual listeners who were unaware of these two songs were taken aback by their astonishingly rapid rise in popularity.

Has that celebrity released a song? The data is growing so fast.

Although I don't know who this is, I listened to it and it's really great. I've already downloaded it.

Could they have bought the data? I've never even heard of this person. How could the data grow so quickly all of a sudden? I don't believe it.

Are you stupid? These data are all paid for, unless this guy named Uesugi Kenichi is extremely wealthy. And judging from the comments, it doesn't seem like he bought the data. Anyway, I'm going to test the waters.

Within just three hours of being uploaded, these two songs had already climbed into the top 50 of NetEase Cloud Music's new song chart, with "For You I Endure the Cold Wind" ranking 41st and "Twelve" ranking 48th.

Singer: Kenichi Uesugi; Lyricist: Kenichi Uesugi; Composer: Kenichi Uesugi.

In an instant, everyone exclaimed in unison, "Where did this prodigy come from? One song is one thing, but two songs of such extraordinary quality are even more amazing!"

Moreover, he seems to be a newcomer and has not yet signed with any agency!

Immediately, countless entertainment companies issued orders to sign Uesugi Kenichi.

This project already generates so much buzz even before a contract has been signed. If a contract is signed and some marketing is done, it could generate huge profits instantly with minimal risk. Such a good deal is rare.

As a result, many entertainment companies began searching for Kenichi Uesugi's contact information.

NetEase Cloud Music Data Management Center.

"Team leader, come and take a look. The data for these two songs seems a bit abnormal," a young man said.

He immediately noticed the rising numbers for these two songs.

The rate of increase is incredibly fast, and the conversion rate between listening and downloading is astonishingly high.

The number of auditions isn't the main issue; the key is the ratio.

360,000 listens and 150,000 downloads, a ratio of nearly 2:1. This data is simply astonishing.

It's important to understand that even some popular singers can't guarantee that every song will reach this ratio.

After all, a trial lesson only costs one cent, so this data doesn't really reflect a big problem.

But downloads are a different story. First, downloading a single song costs one yuan. Although it's not a lot of money, who would be willing to waste that money if they didn't like the song?

Even if I listen to a song and think it's pretty good, I won't necessarily download it. Instead, I'll listen to it a few more times and then consider it done.

I only download songs if I really like them.

This further highlights the value of download numbers.

Judging from the account named Uesugi Kenichi, this is clearly a newcomer. NetEase Cloud Music has not promoted these two songs. Even if the quality of these two songs is indeed amazing, there should be a gradual increase. How can there be such explosive growth right from the start?

It is therefore obvious that the data for these two songs is suspected of being fabricated.

Check the backend to see where the data for these two songs comes from.

A few minutes later, the data was displayed.

"Team leader, these... the data for these two songs is real." The young man said, his face showing disbelief.

Judging from the source of the data, most of them are active accounts within the platform.

That's strange. Show me the data. The team leader was also puzzled.

When the team leader got the data, he laughed as soon as he saw the two songs: "If you had told me earlier that these were the two songs, I wouldn't have asked you to look them up."

why?

Looks like you worked really hard today. You can check it out on Weibo.

The team leader muttered to himself, "Although I knew these two songs were very popular these days, I didn't expect that this popularity was not inflated. There are actually so many people willing to support them with real money."

In the past, there were many good songs on Weibo that were marketed and had incredibly high popularity, but once they were released on major music platforms, their true colors were revealed.

The number of listens is high, but very few people are actually willing to download them.

The team leader submitted the data and quickly received recommendations for the two songs, as well as the task of contacting the singer named Uesugi Kenichi to sign exclusive licenses for the two songs and grant him priority access to subsequent songs.

Meanwhile, Uesugi Kenichi was lying in bed, looking at the message sent by someone nicknamed "Yingying Monster" and feeling troubled.

Because he slept until noon this morning and was then preoccupied with various things, Uesugi Kenichi didn't open WeChat all day.

After checking the status of the two songs, Uesugi Kenichi didn't pay much more attention to them.

After lying in bed, Kenichi Uesugi finally had some free time to play on his phone.

He opened QQ and WeChat to see if anyone had sent him messages.

Aside from the various book club groups that were still active on QQ, no one he knew was messaging him anymore. It seemed that since Uesugi Kenichi went to university, he had been using QQ less and less frequently, mostly using WeChat now. Checking QQ daily was just a habit formed over many years. Even knowing that no one was messaging him, he still occasionally wanted to log in and take a look.

After opening WeChat, he found quite a few messages. First, his editor, Zheng Chen, reminded him again not to forget about tomorrow's signing ceremony.

Then several friends messaged him asking if he was the person trending on Weibo today.

After replying to each message, Uesugi Kenichi saw that Zhou Yuqing, whom he had asked to be saved as "whining monster" yesterday, had also sent him several messages.

Uesugi Kenichi first replied to Zheng Chen, saying that he knew and would not forget about signing the contract tomorrow, and then laughed it off with a few friends.

Finally, I opened the messages Zhou Yuqing had sent. The earliest message, as shown by the timer, was sent at 7:30 AM.

I'm sorry, I was asleep last night and didn't see your message.

Thank you for agreeing to help me create the song [Cute][Cute].

Then they didn't send another message until noon.

Have you checked Weibo? Your singing video from yesterday went viral! I even retweeted and commented on it. Have you eaten yet?

Why aren't you saying anything?

Finally, it was around 7 p.m.

The song has been uploaded, and it's really good.

...

Hmph! An angry emoji.

The last message was sent at around 7 p.m.

Kenichi Uesugi was at a loss as to how to reply.

It was wrong of him not to reply to messages all day, but we can't really blame him, since he was really busy that day.

After thinking for a moment, Uesugi Kenichi picked up his phone and sent a message.

Sorry, I was busy all day and didn't notice. Are you angry? Then I sent a pleading emoji.

After waiting for a while without seeing a reply, Uesugi Kenji stopped typing.

After all, the two sides had only known each other for less than a day, even though Zhou Yuqing was very pretty and cute and spoke very nicely.

However, I don't have a strong desire to start a new relationship right now, so naturally I won't chase after someone and try to be a simp.

Bored, Kenichi Uesugi decided to find a movie online to watch and kill some time.

"What is all this stuff?" Uesugi Kenichi couldn't help but complain.

He found a movie with a decent number of views and clicked on it. He only got to the beginning before Uesugi Kenichi died. The plot was so stupid it was outrageous, and it was full of vulgar jokes.

What's even more ridiculous is that so many people actually watched this movie.

My goodness, I'm speechless. Uesugi Kenichi finished the movie in just 10 minutes by skipping through the progress bar. He initially thought maybe the beginning was just bad, but he was wrong. This movie was treating him like an idiot!

He couldn't resist going to the comments section to vent his frustrations.

Once inside, he understood why such a movie had so many views.

My Kunkun is so handsome.

I almost got wet watching it!

After seeing numerous comments like this, Kenichi Uesugi instantly understood what was going on.

I lost all interest in complaining.

They've already worked so hard, persisting in their work even with a fever of 56 degrees Celsius, so what reason do I have to criticize them?

Just as he was thinking this, he noticed that Zhou Yuqing had replied to his message.

"What's wrong with you today? You've been sullen all day," Wang Weiwei asked, somewhat puzzled.

Zhou Yuqing sat on the bed and casually replied: Nothing much.

"I don't believe you would do this. There must be something going on." Wang Weiwei climbed onto Zhou Yuqing's bed with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

Zhou Yuqing was sitting on the bed watching a video of Uesugi Kenichi singing on her computer.

Seeing Wang Weiwei climb up, he hurriedly closed the computer.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Yuqing asked, feigning calmness.

Wang Weiwei climbed up and sat on her bed, saying, "You said it was nothing, but did that guy named Uesugi Kenichi make you angry?"

Zhou Yuqing panicked immediately: "No, don't talk nonsense."

"Alright, since you don't want to talk about 870, I won't force you. The kids are grown up now, and we can't control them anymore." Wang Weiwei said with a sigh.

Zhou Yuqing, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, retorted: "Pah! Who's your child? Get down here!"

At that moment, her phone screen lit up.

Zhou Yuqing picked up her phone and saw that it was a message from Uesugi Kenichi. Her face lit up at first, but then immediately fell. Her expression changed as quickly as a scene from a Sichuan opera.

Wang Wei shook her head slightly at this. Then she smiled.

Girls who have never been in a relationship always seem clumsy when they try it for the first time, and this applies to both men and women.
