Little did Baise Entertainment know, they actually had this idea: to use the album release window to quickly invest massive resources and dominate the publicity landscape.
The money was invested, the publicity campaigns were launched, and the hype began to build.
Initially, sales were quite good, but they never anticipated Xu Qingqiu's concert would continuously drop bombshells.
The album was released at noon. The most critical period is the first day, often referred to as the "golden twenty-four hours," followed by the "silver forty-eight hours."
These two timeframes are crucial: the first allows a singer to break records and demonstrate their drawing power, while the second generally indicates the album's overall sales trajectory.
But no one expected that, just when Baise Entertainment thought they were in a massively advantageous position, Xu Qingqiu's concert would suddenly go supernova.
Trending topics sprang up one after another, as if from nowhere. Within a mere two hours, these new topics completely demolished the data Baise Entertainment had meticulously prepared for a week and painstakingly tried to boost all morning.
Not even twelve hours had passed, and all news about their new album online seemed to have been nuked, leaving only scattered remnants. Crucially, no one was paying any attention.
Everyone had switched to gobbling up the gossip about Xu Qingqiu's concert, practically wishing they could launch themselves on a rocket to get a front-row, up-close view. Who cared about any album anymore?
Besides, they called it a concert, but it was more like a new song release event.
At a typical concert, an artist performing one or two new songs is already a big deal, considered a top-tier bonus for fans.
And Xu Qingqiu? Good heavens! One new song, then another, and then another still—even the encore was a brand-new song.
The kicker? The encore was supposedly some useless, rejected song they hadn't planned to perform, just thrown in at the last minute to fill time.
Yet, even that turned out to be an outstanding track, a real gem.
Listen to this! Is that something a human being would even do? Huh? Who acts like that?!
Ye Zhonghuai was practically ready to lean out his window and scream at them for fighting so dirty.
Ultimately, both Xu Qingqiu and Chu Tian were completely oblivious to all this.
It was like two people fighting: one side just casually waved a hand, and the other was severely injured. The infuriating part was that one side was treating it like a life-or-death struggle, while the other was completely oblivious, casually enjoying hotpot.
This is so damn humiliating! Utterly disrespectful!
"Later, that old geezer Ye Zhonghuai even tried to get our trending topics taken down," Li Chunhua explained. "But the topics were too hot, and there were so many of them. As soon as they quoted him a price, he backed down."
"The main issue is, it's one thing for him to buy trending topics, but his high-and-mighty attitude completely disgusted the Tianmu Weibo staff. So they just went through the motions for him."
"Of course, that's just my guess. They didn't actually say that. The Tianmu staff are very professional, so don't you go spreading this around."
"I'm telling you, when the Tianmu Weibo contact was relaying this to me, they couldn't even stifle their laughter—I heard it clearly."
Chu Tian and Xu Qingqiu hadn't actually paid much attention to all this. But after hearing Li Chunhua's account, they couldn't hold back anymore and burst out laughing, practically doubling over.
Finally, they understood why Li Chunhua had reacted so strongly earlier.
"Hahaha, that's hilarious! So much happened today, huh?" Xu Qingqiu giggled.
"You bet!" Li Chunhua sighed dramatically. "But it's been tough on me. Everyone else benefits, while I'm the one taking all the flak. Alas, I guess I'm the one who has to shoulder all the blame."
"Oh, dear! I'm so sorry you had to suffer," Xu Qingqiu said, reaching out. "Come here, let me give you a comforting pat. Poor you~"
"That's not..."
Driving, Li Chunhua gritted her teeth, almost cursing aloud.
What is happening? Weren't we just chatting? How did they turn all lovey-dovey in an instant? Were you two raised on dog food or something?!
