Chapter 313: Chapter 213 Is this it? Principal Ding just about manages (Third update, please subscribe)_4

Singer: Lin Zhirou

Lyricist: Eryong

Composer: Eryong

Arranger: Wang Yixiang

This time, the arrangement for "Fragrance of Rice" was solely done by Wang Yixiang, because Liu Cheng had some family matters to attend to when the song was being arranged and couldn’t participate.

But when "Blue and White Porcelain" was being arranged, Liu Cheng was back, so the two of them collaborated on the arrangement work for "Blue and White Porcelain".

After all, arranging a song in the traditional Chinese style like "Blue and White Porcelain" is indeed a higher difficulty for these two music professionals, as they’ve relatively less experience working on this kind of music.

Sales: 74,782 times

"Huh?"

When Ding Yue saw the sales data for "Fragrance of Rice", he immediately felt the gap with the previous song "Confession Balloon".

Because after Lin Zhirou’s "Confession Balloon" was released, it had sales of more than 200,000 yuan in less than five minutes.

Now, ten minutes after "Fragrance of Rice" was released, the sales data was just over 70,000.

Although the sales of "Fragrance of Rice" might be lower than "Confession Balloon", Ding Yue had anticipated this.

After all, "Confession Balloon" is much catchier and it was released on a very good day - 520 (double entendre for "I love you" in Chinese).

The day "Fragrance of Rice" was released was just an ordinary day, so a sales data of over 70,000 in ten minutes seemed quite normal.

In fact, compared to most new songs released recently, this data was already quite impressive!

It was only after Ding Yue had experienced the sales explosion of "Confession Balloon" did he feel that "Fragrance of Rice" appeared a bit lackluster.

But having over 70,000 sales in ten minutes? That’s already a hot-seller!

Very soon, the word ’hot’ appeared in the bottom right corner of the "Fragrance of Rice" song title - a marker of popular songs on the NetEase Cloud music platform.

This means that within just ten minutes, Lin Zhirou’s "Fragrance of Rice" became one of the popular songs. Isn’t that hot enough?

Many second and third-tier singers, as well as young male stars, are crying with envy, aren’t they?

Even as veterans in the music circle, with their capital backing, it’s hard for them to achieve such great sales figures for newly released songs!

After "Fragrance of Rice" was released, netizens’ attention towards the song was high, albeit lesser as compared to "Confession Balloon".

But in comparison with other new songs released recently, the data for "Fragrance of Rice" was astronomical.

Because a lot of new Mandarin songs that get uploaded onto Penguin Music or Netease Cloud platforms on the first day don’t usually amass a million sales.

Given the current momentum of "Fragrance of Rice", breaking the one million sales mark would be a piece of cake.

On Twitter, a prominent musician shared his thoughts on the immediate popularity of "Fragrance of Rice", unintentionally catching the attention of Ding Yue.

[Musician Liu Jiang]v: Another hit song. Looks like the Music department of Mist City Arts and Science University has outdone many domestic music schools, huh? But it’s expected, given that this song got Lin Zhirou into the final of last year’s Arts Festival Music Competition.

After reading this Twitter update, Ding Yue is a bit confused for a moment. Is this meant to belittle or praise Mist City Arts and Science University?

Or is it simply relevant and "hot"?

After some thought, Ding Yue unreservedly replied to Liu Jiang’s Tweet in the comments: "A hit song? Barely made it, I suppose."

Ding Yue’s reply was quickly discovered by funny netizens.

"Holy shit! In Principal Ding’s eyes, these explosive sales are just barely enough?"

"Here we go again, after the casual teaching Principal Ding, now we have a barely enough Principal Ding."

"Hahaha, such a barely enough, those second and third tier singers from next door are green with envy."

"Invisible flexing, most lethal!"
