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

Chapter 10-Even the emperor is not in a hurry



At ten in the morning.

Two pieces of news spread through Yunhai Media like a storm.

  The first news: In the August music charts, the majority of the songs from the company were pushed back and were dominated by others.

  The second news: Hao Mingxing released a new song and unexpectedly entered the top fifty of the newcomer charts without any prior promotion even with his damaged vocals.

  Due to these two pieces of news, almost all employees in the company were not in a state of being able to focus on their work.

  Regarding the first news, everyone had already expected it.

  ”None of our songs made it to the top ten on any of the charts again?”

  ”It’s as expected”.

  ”The composition department is dragging us down again. I suggest a change in personnel”.

  ”I suggest the company axe the music department and just focus on film and television”.

  However, upon hearing the second news, many people found it absurd.

  ”Hao Mingxing? His song entered the newcomer charts?”

  ”Can he even sing with that damaged voice?”

  ”Is that true?”

  ”Oh my God, you guys need to listen to that song, it’s amazing!”

  ”Wow, his voice is so incredible”.

  ”Amazing! Hao Mingxing’s voice can be used to produce such a song”.

  ”It must be a dream, I’m definitely dreaming”.

  It is a known fact that almost all the songs in the top one hundred of the newcomer charts are usually promoted by entertainment companies.

  So, for a new song with no promotion and no fan base to quickly reach this position overnight, everyone knew what it signified.

  But many thought that “It Doesn’t Matter” had already reached its limit in the rankings.

  After all, songs without promotion had very low traffic.

  And other new songs would continue to receive exposure through advertising and promotion.

  Many people thought that without promotion, the ranking of “It Doesn’t Matter” would probably decline overtime.

  However!

  Soon!

  Many people were once again astonished to find that as time passed, the ranking of “It Doesn’t Matter” not only did not decrease but continued to climb.

  By a little past eleven in the morning, it had already climbed to 34th place.

  Many people were dumbfounded.

  My goodness!
  A song without any promotion almost entered the top 30 in half a day?

  ”I can’t understand”.

  ”Oh my God”.

  ”Are netizens going all out? They’re charging so fiercely”.

  ”God, it’s still climbing”.

  ”It’s heading towards the twenties!”

  While employees were discussing this, Qian Lun, who rushed out of the door, was currently in the publicity department.

  He stared at the head of the publicity department and said word by word, “Immediately change the promotion strategy! Free up 50% of all the promotional resources for new artists and invest them in the song ‘It Doesn’t Matter’!”

  The results were already good.
  Of course, it needed promotion.
  You can’t make “It Doesn’t Matter” go in a declining state with all that initial momentum.

  The head of the publicity department was taken aback, “Concentrate 50% of resources to promote just one song, ‘It Doesn’t Matter’? Isn’t that too much?”

Qian Lun was about to speak.

  His phone rang with the message tone.

  He glanced at it and then spoke, “I misspoke earlier, it’s not 50%”.

  The head of the publicity department smiled slightly, “I told you, 50% of the resources is too much for one song”.

  ”No”.

  Qian Lun said in a deep voice, “I was too conservative just now. Please cancel all other new artist’s promotional resources and allocate them all to advertise the promotion of ‘It Doesn’t Matter.'”

  ”Are you crazy?”

  ”I’m not crazy. They are a bunch of useless people anyway, giving or not giving any resource wouldn’t change their ranking at all”.

  ”I think you’re insane”.

  ”Take a look at this news first”.

  The head of the publicity department leaned over to take a look, it said: “It Doesn’t Matter” has entered the newcomer charts at 34th place!
  He swallowed his saliva.

  After a while, he came back to his senses, “You’re right, everyone else is useless. I’ll go with your plan, let’s allocate all resources for new artists to ‘It Doesn’t Matter.'”

  ”Let’s start!”

  Qian Lun nodded.

  At noon, the employees of Yunhai Media discovered that all the previous promotions for new songs had abruptly been taken down, replaced entirely by advertisements for “It Doesn’t Matter”.

  At this point, “It Doesn’t Matter” officially began its comprehensive promotion.

  …

  Back to last night at midnight.

  Wang Mo didn’t pay attention to the charts, not because he didn’t care, but because after midnight, he heard the system’s voice in his ear:

  【Congratulations to the host for completing the task: release “It Doesn’t Matter” on the music platform.】

  【Task reward: Two bronze treasure chests.】

  Yes!
  Wang Mo clenched his fists fiercely, without hesitation, he said, “Open the treasure chest”.

  【According to the current situation of the host, the treasure chest will automatically generate the items most needed by the host… System generating… Generation complete…】   
  【Congratulations to the host: Mastery of composition-related knowledge (advanced).】

  【Congratulations to the host: Obtaining the song “Invisible Wings”.】

  Two treasure chests, two items.

  First was the knowledge regarding composition.

  Wang Mo felt countless knowledge about composition instantly added to his mind, making his previously nonexistent composition skills to a level of having profound knowledge about it.

  He nodded inwardly, “The system is worried that I might have to reveal my skills. After all, I suddenly wrote a song of such quality, definitely people will try to probe me about it. Even though the previous owner had learned composition before, it’s still easy to expose me. Now though, there’s no need to worry about anyone trying to figure me out”.

  The system is really considerate.

  As for the second reward.

  Wang Mo stared at it for a long time, feeling an ocean of emotions.

  It turned out to be this song!

  The value of the second bronze treasure chest was too high.

  Because he knew: this song had the capability to create legend.

  Of course, it was the original version by Angela Chang, not the covered version by Teng Ge Er.

  He replayed the melody in his mind several times.

  Even though he had listened to this song for over a decade in his previous life, hearing it now still stirred deep emotions.

  To describe it in one sentence: Classics never become too old to listen.

  Unlike songs like “Learn to Meow”, “Skateboard shoes”, “Fiery coral lily”, and others that might be incredibly popular for a while but lose their popularity in just a few months.

True classic songs are those that stand the test of time, remaining great songs even after generation changes.

  Regaining his focus.

  Logging onto the Yun Net, he refreshed the music charts.

  He found that “It Doesn’t Matter” didn’t make any waves on the charts.

  But he remained calm, knowing that the song had no prior promotion, and its success would solely depend on recommendations through word of mouth and slowly start spreading. If there were no significant results in a few days, he would think of a solution then.

  For now, the most important thing was:
  Sleep!

  Due to staying up too late, Wang Mo was surprised to find that he had overslept and it was already past ten in the morning when he woke up.

  ”Darn it, I overslept. System, couldn’t you have woken me?”

  System: 【Please note, the system is not an alarm clock.】

  ”Can you be an alarm clock then?”

  【In theory, yes.】

  ”Well, that settles it. From now on, if I ever oversleep, you’ll ‘ring ring ring’ to wake me up”.

  The system remained silent.

  It was a principled system. How could he agree to become an alarm clock?

  …

  When Wang Mo arrived at the company, it was just past noon.

  At this moment, “It Doesn’t Matter” had just started its comprehensive promotion.

  Wang Mo, who hadn’t received any news, noticed everyone’s eyes fixated on him as he entered the composition department.

  Some were shocked.

  Some were confused.

  Some were enthusiastic.

  ”What’s going on?”

  Wang Mo subconsciously looked down, checking if his zipper was open.

  But soon, he heard the sound of a goose coming from Liu Zhengwen’s office.

  This is outrageous!
  Liu Zhengwen is actually raising a goose in his office!
  But the next second, he saw that the goose rushed out of the office… Wait, not the goose, it was Liu Zhengwen!
  Liu Zhengwen saw Wang Mo, and his eyes were shining green, “Haha, Bag, cosmetics… cough cough, no… Wang Mo, you finally came! I missed you!”

  ”Liu…Manager, I… didn’t miss you”.

  Wang Mo avoided Liu Zhengwen’s princess hug.

  Liu Zhengwen didn’t mind Wang Mo’s evasion, looked at his expression, and said, “Are you still unaware?”

  Wang Mo: “About what?”

  Liu Zhengwen: “You really don’t know. Let me tell you some good news: your song! The song you wrote! It entered the newcomer charts and is currently ranked just over thirty. This is a big surprise for everyone. Hehehe, goose goose goose goose goose~~~”

  Got it.
  So that’s where the goose comes from.

  Wang Mo frowned slightly, “It’s just over thirty, what’s there to get excited about?”

  ”You!”
  Liu Zhengwen said as if he heard a bad joke, “Just over thirty? You have to know, your song had no promotion at all and still was able to reach this rank in just half a day. It’s truly a miracle. The company even has decided to give ‘It Doesn’t Matter’ a massive promotion. With proper promotion, it can definitely enter the top ten of the newcomer charts.”

  Top ten!

  Top ten!

  ”Do you know what that represents? It represents the handbag of my wife… cough cough, no… it represents that you’ve created a miracle and signifies that you will be a hero in the composition department in the future”.

  ”Oh”.

  Wang Mo nodded, top ten on the newcomer charts?
  It didn’t really pique his interest.

  Seeing Wang Mo’s calm expression, Liu Zhengwen thought that this kid was too composed.

  Truly, the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is anxious.

  Ah, spit!

  Who insults themselves like that?
