I became a music industry godfather by writing confidantes.

Chapter 049 Streaming Record

June 16, morning, Jinshi Music Headquarters, Building B, 19th floor.

Jiang Yan, holding a steaming cup of coffee, sat on the brand-new sofa opposite her manager, Peng Liang, staring at each other.

This coffee was just brewed by Jiang Yan's assistant, and it's said that the coffee beans are high-end.

That's right, assistant.

Jiang Yan, who had been sidelined at Jinshi for nearly a year, finally got her own assistant.

Not only the assistant, but even this spacious and bright office is new.

Peng Liang took a sip of coffee, still feeling somewhat dazed.

Just yesterday, he was sharing a 200-square-meter office on the 18th floor with other D-level agents. But before he even arrived at the company today, he received a call from the administration department telling him to go to the 19th floor, saying that he had been assigned a private office.

"Painting Heart" has only been released for less than a day!

Even before the official 24-hour data was released, the company's top management couldn't wait to arrange private offices and dedicated assistants for the employees.

Clearly, in the eyes of capital and high-level officials, the song "Painting Heart" deserves this treatment!

So much so that this separate office was prepared overnight.

Peng Liang couldn't help but sigh. He had been at Jinshi for seven years, and had seen all sorts of people. He was now a seasoned veteran in the entertainment industry.

But to be honest, he has never felt the reality and efficiency of the entertainment industry so profoundly and so nakedly as he did today.

But it was precisely this high efficiency that made him uneasy.

Peng Liang put down his coffee, shifted uncomfortably on the brand-new sofa, and felt a little uneasy.

What if?

What if the higher-ups misjudge the situation?

What if the data that comes out at 10 o'clock doesn't look good?

If he's only been here for half a day and his data starts to plummet, will the administration department immediately turn on him and make him pack his bags and slink back to his cubicle on the 18th floor...?

Given the nature of the entertainment industry, such a thing is not impossible.

Peng Liang shuddered. If that were to happen, he would be unprecedented in Jinshi, and would be laughed to death, never able to hold his head up again.

As the two anxiously awaited their turn, time finally slowed down to ten o'clock.

Jiang Yan and Peng Liang both held their phones, holding their breath as they stared intently at a WeChat group they had just created yesterday.

"bite--"

The data specialist's data popped up.

"24-Hour Data Summary —"

"Electronic downloads: 100 million!"

"Streaming data: 6000 million!"

"6000 million?!" Jiang Yan felt a sense of unreality upon seeing this data.

If she remembers correctly, Tao Cheng achieved 5200 million streaming views for a female singer in 24 hours with "Flammable and Explosive" half a month ago!

Does this mean...?

Sure enough, the data specialist sent another message the next second.

"Congratulations Yan Yan! She's set a new record for the most views by a female singer in the Chinese entertainment industry within 24 hours! That's an increase of 800 million!"

There was a two-second silence in the office.

"It's a success!"

The two of them jumped up from the sofa almost simultaneously, letting out a cheer that was out of tune.

As she laughed, Jiang Yan's vision blurred, and large tears streamed down her face.

Nearly a year has passed, and the despair and resentment of entering the music industry full of hope but ultimately being marginalized, ignored, and facing contract termination at any time have finally vanished completely at this moment.

"Oh dear, why are you crying? It's a joyous day; you should be laughing."

With red eyes, Peng Liang patted Jiang Yan's shoulder, trying to put on a manager's air to comfort the artist.

Before he could finish speaking, he sniffed and tears streamed down his face.

When a grown man cries, he becomes even more out of control than a young girl.

The two of them wiped away their tears, laughing and crying, and calmed themselves down for a while before they could continue to check the messages that kept popping up on their phones.

The data specialist not only sent out good news, but also attached a detailed data analysis report, which thoroughly reviewed why the streaming data of "Painting Heart" had such a nuclear-level effect.

"So it was the result of multiple forces working together," Peng Liang said, looking at the analysis report with sudden realization.

First, as the promotional campaign for the movie "Life After Life: Falling Flowers" unfolded, all three top-tier lead actors shared the trailer.

The combined number of Weibo followers of these three companies is nearly 200 million!

Even if only 10% of those who watch the trailer go to the music platform to listen to the song have a conversion rate, that would still be at least 1000 million plays.

Secondly, there are fans of the original novel.

This group of people were very satisfied with the effect of the theme song in "Painting Heart" and spontaneously recommended it in various novel groups, forums, and flower petals, becoming organic promoters.

Thirdly, there was the unexpected promotional campaign by pop star Xu Xiao yesterday.

Regardless of her original intentions, the sheer size of a minor pop star on the internet instantly generated a huge buzz.

These three energies combined, along with the already excellent quality of "Painting Heart," to create an unprecedented and terrifying record!

"Buzzing—"

Before Peng Liang could finish reading the messages in the group chat, his phone vibrated.

The caller ID shows it's from the Ministry of Commerce.

Peng Liang cleared his throat, adopted what he considered to be his most composed tone, and answered the phone.

"Hello, Manager Gao, hello..."

Jiang Yan watched Peng Liang nervously, only to see his expression change from serious to surprised, and then from surprised to ecstatic.

"Okay, okay, no problem. Once you've finalized things on your end, I'll bring Yan Yan over to sign the papers as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Peng Liang took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Yan, announcing loudly, "Yan Yan, the production company wants to sign a supplementary agreement with us."

Jiang Yan was taken aback: "Didn't we already sign the performance contract for the premiere?"

"After seeing today's data, the production company immediately made additional requests. They invited you to stay with the crew throughout the entire project, participate in 18 roadshows across the country, and perform 'Painting Heart' live at each one."

"The fee for each performance will be calculated separately!"

Peng Liang became more and more excited as he spoke: "The Ministry of Commerce is currently negotiating a higher price. Once they reach an agreement with the film company, we just need to sign the contract."

"Yan Yan, I have a feeling that you should be mentally prepared. You might develop a physical dislike for singing 'Painting Heart'."

There's a saying in the music industry that a singer might sing a song that listeners love so much they're sick of it.

It sounds a bit funny, but isn't it just another way of showing off one's popularity?

"call……"

Jiang Yan sat on the sofa. After the ups and downs, from her initial anxiety to her current joy, she gradually calmed down.

She looked at Peng Liang, her tone more serious than ever before: "Brother Peng, I owe my success today, my ability to stand up again at Jinshi, all thanks to Producer Yang."

"If he hadn't decided to hand over 'Painting Heart' to me, I'd probably still be toiling away in vain."

Peng Liang wholeheartedly agreed: "Indeed, we should be grateful for what we have received. Why don't we go and thank them now?"

"Okay, let's go now."

"Buzzing—"

Before the two of them could even leave the house, Peng Liang's phone rang again.

The caller ID showed the name as the Deputy Director of the Artist Management Department.
