Sunday night at exactly 8 PM.

Liu Yang and the other seven released their own songs at the same time.

But as newcomers, it's destined that there wouldn't be much buzz.

There's an old saying: "Good wine needs no bush", and another: "Gold will shine eventually."

These sayings definitely have their reason, but they also contain a lot of comfort.

Like Liu Yang and the other seven newcomers, they don't have any fan base, so naturally there won't be much traffic.

In the country, no one knows how many people write songs and upload them to various music platforms every day. The song library is vast, and standing out is really not easy.

In the era of traffic, how some songs become popular is hard to say. Now some pop songs catch fire on short videos for a while, like some hotspots that inexplicably go viral, but after some time they disappear, and then it's another hotspot. Some pop songs are like this.

Sometimes, whether something becomes popular is a matter of fate, after all, even cliché songs have a chance to go viral. Many new pop songs are criticized for this reason.

It's not necessarily true that just because a song is good, it will definitely become popular; in the age of traffic, nothing is certain.

Xu Lin couldn't just wait for Liu Yang and the others to go viral on their own, otherwise the time cost would be too great, and it might sink over time.

In the era of traffic, Internet strategies have changed.

So at nine o'clock in the evening, Xu Lin returned to his dormitory and posted a new update on Little Red Book, saying that the eight newcomers under him had released new songs and welcomed everyone to listen.

Although Xu Lin was the one who wrote the lyrics and composed the music, he wasn't the one singing, so not everyone would particularly search them out to listen.

However, there would always be a portion of people interested, and these people curiously went to search and listen.

Meanwhile, Zhao Liangchen and Xie Ting also recommended the eight of them, in mutual support from those in the same school.

As a result, more people knew about these eight songs.

In this way, the initial traffic base was established, and if the market response was good enough, everything that needed to emerge would emerge later.

Among the eight people, there were five love songs, one ballad, one non-romantic youth campus-themed song, and one inspirational song.

Because Xu Lin and Xie Ting gave recommendations, the number of netizens searching to listen could be said to be in the tens of thousands, especially Xu Lin, whose followers on Little Red Book now amounted to 13 million, not a small number, even if only a small portion went to search, the final number could also start at ten thousand.

From 9:30 PM, Liu Yang and the other seven started to send messages of congratulations to Xu Lin one after another, excitedly reporting that a lot of people were listening to their songs and that most people's reviews were very positive. Liu Yang and the others couldn't help but be excited.

Take Liu Yang, for example, who used to be just a bar singer, singing part-time in various bars in the city where he worked at night. He had once impulsively released an original song, but unquestionably, it didn't take off. Now seeing tens of thousands of people listening to his songs, how could he not be excited?

The other seven were not much different, all small characters, ordinary passersby in real life, who had never had so much attention.

For this, Xu Lin notified them uniformly in the small group: "Stay calm, wait a few days before taking a detailed look."

After sending the message, Xu Lin switched back to his main account.

As he said, wait a few days to see.

Then, at around 11 PM, Xia Xiyao sent a message.

"Xu Lin, I saw a well-known music appreciation blogger analyzing your eight songs released today!"

"Who is it?"

Xu Lin replied while playing a game.

Xia Xiyao: "This person has always followed you; he has analyzed every one of your songs."

Xia Xiyao also sent a screenshot and a link.

It was a music review and appreciation blogger on Weibo named Qu Xiaochen, who had quite a lot of followers, over a million.

Previously, when Xu Lin first released a song, specifically the song "Qu Guang", this blogger had analyzed it and had been following up, giving high praise to Xu Lin.

Additionally, Xu Lin now had fourteen songs in total, including five of his own songs and nine songs written for others.

Xu Lin was a bit curious and clicked the link to see Qu Xiaochen's latest review article, which was specifically analyzing the eight songs Xu Lin had written for Liu Yang and the others.

"Written at the beginning, Mr. Xu is definitely a great talent, a genius in the music industry! Lyrics, composition, and singing prowess, all perfectly present. So, is there anyone who disagrees? The market has already given us the answer to Mr. Xu's self-written and self-sung five songs; each of his songs has caused a stir in the music industry, and we won't discuss more here. For details, you can see my previous articles. Today, we mainly talk about the songs by his eight new apprentices.

Frankly speaking, these eight songs, whether in lyrics or composition, continue Mr. Xu's characteristics, that is, everything produced by Mr. Xu is a premium product! However, it's a bit unfortunate that these eight apprentices' performance was somewhat lacking. I think if Mr. Xu sang them, they would have more flavor. By the way, specially praise, doesn't Mr. Xu have quite a few styles? Additionally, let me say upfront, I especially liked today's folk song 'Grandma' sung by Xu Zilong…"

This song was actually created by Xu Zilong after talking about his childhood experiences with his grandma, combining it with Xu Lin's narrated experiences into a folk song blending affection and nostalgia. So the theme of this song includes family affection and nostalgia, with a delicate emotion, melancholic yet not hurtful, very worth appreciating.
