Chapter 158: Chapter 153: As long as she’s brave enough, next year she will... (Second Update) _1

After having breakfast at Er’s Cafeteria in the morning, Ding Yue arrived at his office.

His task for the day was simple.

He would just keep an eye on the sales of Lin Zhirou’s song "Confession Balloon" on NetEase Cloud Music.

At half past nine.

Lin Zhirou also arrived at the principal’s office, nervously awaiting the official release at ten o’clock in the morning.

After all, this song was given to her by Principal Ding who had asked his friend do the creation. This song bears Principal Ding’s expectations for her.

At the same time, it also carries the reputation of the Art Department of the Mist City Arts and Science University.

Because Lin Zhirou was the most famous student of the Mist City Arts and Science University Art Department and had won the championship of the National College Student Art Festival Music Competition, her popularity was gradually rising.

Today,

It is the day to witness whether Lin Zhirou can achieve success in her music career.

Prior to this, the three songs "Fragrance of Rice", "Confession Balloon" and "Blue and White Porcelain" had not been officially released.

Generally, people could not hear any sound-optimized recorded versions online, with all other versions being recorded by mobile phones or being versions from live mobile broadcasts, which were not clear enough.

In this parallel world, whether it’s novels, music or other copyrighted works, they all possess a high copyright awareness.

Piracy fundamentally has no room to survive on this land.

Therefore, people were eagerly expecting the official release of these few songs from Lin Zhirou, i.e., the official sale on the music platform.

After waiting for half a year.

Finally, the song "Confession Balloon" was planned to be officially released on this special day, May 20!

On the day of witnessing the results, Lin Zhirou was naturally extremely nervous.

"Zhirou, once your song is officially released at ten o’clock, it will definitely do well", Wen Ruohan encouraged a nervous Lin Zhirou.

Ding Yue also nodded at Lin Zhirou, saying, "Yes, you must have confidence in yourself."

Actually, Ding Yue was very confident.

"Confession Balloon" had received many praises during the competition, and with its catchy tune on this special day of 520, there was absolutely no reason for it to flop.

As time passed, it gradually approached ten o’clock.

Ding Yue asked Wen Ruohan to keep an eye on the real-time sales data of "Confession Balloon" on the computer.

By the time it was ten o’clock, Ding Yue had already opened the PC version of the NetEase Cloud software on his computer.

Right at the stroke of ten!

"Confession Balloon" was officially live.

Without saying a word, Ding Yue logged into his NetEase Cloud account and started to, no, it should be, he began to purchase "Confession Balloon".

In Xia Country of this parallel world, the price of a single song release is generally One Yuan each, which is a very conscientious price.

Purchase successful!

Next, Ding Yue refreshed his purchase number and it was 11111?

What a coincidence?

Moreover, Ding Yue started buying almost instantly after the release, and he was already ranked 11111th after buying just one?

Did it sell to over ten thousand people within a split second?

Ding Yue thought it must be people who had bought many times at once, just like some young male stars who clearly came from variety shows but insisted on being actors and releasing songs as singers as well. Their songs, when released, sold for several millions and even billions of times. God, how outrageous!

But when he looked at it, the top buyer had bought several millions times, and those who bought several ten thousand times were not few.

Just like this?

And they had the gall to brag about their sales of billions?

After refreshing the purchase ranking, Ding Yue found that the user who bought the most had only bought 6 times.

This was completely within the normal range.

Because those who bought dozens of times might probably have bought the song to give to their friends, which is normal.

But those who buy hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of times, it’s absolutely data manipulation.

What’s even more outrageous is those who buy hundreds of thousands and millions of times, it’s obviously trying to undermine the healthy circulation development of the music market, right?

While things are a bit better on NetEase Cloud Music, the situation on Penguin Music is simply disastrous.

When Ding Yue refreshed the sales of "Confession Balloon" again, he found that the sales data had already broken 50,000!

How long had it been? A minute, right? And it’s already fifty thousand?

When Ding Yue saw the sales data, he couldn’t help but smile.

Looking at this trend, "Confession Balloon" is about to blow up instantly after its official release.

No!

To be precise, it has exploded!

For a rookie singer like Lin Zhirou, such data is simply unthinkable, right?

"Student Wen Ruohan, do you want to guess how many we have sold now?" Ding Yue said, smiling at a very nervous Lin Zhirou.

She was sitting on the sofa, daring not to check the sales data on her phone APP.

Hearing Principal Ding’s question, Lin Zhirou shook her head and then guessed, "Umm, has it broken one thousand?"

"Hahaha!"

Ding Yue instantly burst into laughter and shook his head saying, "Guess bigger, be bold!"

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhirou understood that Principal Ding was implying that even one thousand was less considering the sales. Could it have crossed two thousand?

And Principal Ding asked her to guess higher and be bolder. Surely it couldn’t have already broken five thousand, right?

Lin Zhirou was extremely excited.

If the sales could actually exceed five thousand within this short minute, then the final 24-hour first-day sales would surely be an astronomical figure.

Lin Zhirou didn’t dare to think further.

She humbly attributed all of this success to the well-written song, "Confession Balloon".

Indeed, if the song was written well, then she could give her best effort to sing this good song.

In fact,

Ding Yue, who had heard Lin Zhirou’s recording of "Confession Balloon" in advance, found out that she had sang the song perfectly through her relentless efforts.

If this could be a massive success, aside from the song itself, Lin Zhirou would deserve at least half of the credit.

"Could it be... have sales already exceeded five thousand?" Lin Zhirou cautiously guessed.

"Eh!"

Ding Yue couldn’t help but facepalm, looking at Lin Zhirou he said, "Lin Zhirou, why can’t you guess a higher number. What are we even talking about here?"

At that, Lin Zhirou was thoroughly confused.

Could it be?

Has the sales actually exceeded five thousand?

Could it possibly break ten thousand?

Lin Zhirou was incredibly excited, but also beyond belief inside.

"Zhirou, let me tell you, our sales are actually five... hold on, let me refresh. Oh my God!"

Wen Ruohan stared at the data on the computer, she herself was startled, and unexpectedly blurted out, "Oh my God"?

Ding Yue immediately looked at Wen Ruohan: "Wen Ruohan, just look at the data, what’s with your startled reactions?"

After finishing speaking,

Ding Yue also refreshed the data on his computer.

"Oh my God!"

All of a sudden, Ding Yue also exclaimed.

"Heh heh heh, Principal Ding, just look at the data, why are you so startled?" Wen Ruohan perfectly retorted with the words Principal Ding just said, throwing them back at him.

"What’s going on?"

Lin Zhirou was completely bewildered on the side.

What’s happened to Wen Ruohan and Principal Ding? Why are they having such startled reactions in quick succession?

"Two hundred thousand!"

Ding Yue almost doubted if he had misread the data, rubbing his eyes to make sure he wasn’t seeing things.

After glancing at the purchase ranking, the user who bought the most only bought 13 times.

The current sales had actually broken through two hundred thousand!

"What do you mean two hundred thousand? You don’t mean... sales of two hundred thousand, do you?" Lin Zhirou didn’t even dare to think about having two hundred thousand sales.

Let alone at this moment.

Looking at the time, it was only ten zero three.

Not even five minutes had passed, and we’ve already sold two hundred thousand units?

"It’s gone viral! It’s gone viral! You’ve gone viral, Zhirou!" Wen Ruohan exclaimed to Lin Zhirou.

Based on this data, this could easily be a ten million unit selling single!

Ding Yue had also studied the data from single releases in the music scene of Xia Country in this parallel world.

If the sales could break through one hundred thousand within the first ten minutes, then the final sales could potentially break through ten million.

At this very moment,

Countless internet users from all over the country have made their purchases, adding to the anticipation of this long-awaited song, all on this special day of 520.

Many people, after buying the song, would also post on Twitter, mentioning the ones they wanted to confess their love to.

If they didn’t have someone to confess to, then they could also listen to the song alone as a single dog.

Single dogs were like: What’s the meaning of this????

On the official forum of Mist City Arts and Science University,

A student from Mist City Arts and Science University asked for help, stating that he had a crush on a student from Mist City Fine Arts College, and asked how could he make a better confession?

The alumni replying below have all suggested.

The first step, buy a "Confession Balloon", secondly buy a bouquet of flowers, and finally a romantic confession!

"Bro, all the alumni of our school are your strong supporters!"

"Last time, that jerk guy managed to hook up with three girls from the Fine Arts College, you’re so infatuated, you can definitely do this!"

"Go for it, bro. Get the ’Confession Balloon’ started!"

"Yes, yes, use ’Confession Balloon’ sung by our schoolmate Lin, it’s the best for confessions, go for it!"

"I have one piece of advice for you— if you’re bold enough, she’ll be on maternity leave next year!"

Feeling the full encouragement from the alumni, this student immediately bought a "Confession Balloon", then called his roommates and friends, and began to set up a carefully planned confession scene under the dormitory of that girl from the Fine Arts College. When the time comes, with the "Confession Balloon" at the confession scene, it’ll definitely create a romance-filled atmosphere, increasing the success rate of the confession.

Just like what the alumni said, you just have to be bold enough.

This Mist City Arts and Science University student and that girl from Mist City Fine Arts College began knowing each other in the previous semester, but because the male student was too timid, he was always too afraid to confess.

Today.

Lin Zhirou’s "Confession Balloon" has provided him with an opportunity, and the encouragement from his alumni has given him courage.

He’s ready to advance towards his own love.

As for whether the confession will succeed...
