The song "Later" has been released for five days.
Finally, at twelve o'clock midnight, it climbed to the top of the film and television new song chart.
Moreover, its performance on the more authoritative Film and Television Golden Melody Chart also entered the top fifteen.
As of now, there have been 800,000 downloads, with over two million listens.
Host: Su Yu

Skill: Professional Piano Performance
System Warehouse: Song Component "Chi Ling"
800,000 downloads provided Su Yu with 800,000 reputation points.
He had used 200,000 for previous draws, leaving him with 600,000.
However, Su Yu had no intention of using them for draws at the moment.
With his unlucky streak, drawing was a waste of reputation.
Wouldn't it be better to wait until he reached one million and do a ten-pull, guaranteed to get a golden light cluster?
The song "What Cannot Be" has already been recorded by Gong Ju Ren. In two days, when the confession season event begins, Xing Hui will directly submit it. Su Yu doesn't need to worry about these things.
Now there is still a song, "Chi Ling," in the system warehouse. If this song is released, it should achieve good results.
Thinking of this, he picked up his phone and called Zhao Yuan.
"Still not asleep so late?" Zhao Yuan's voice was a little lazy, as if she had been woken up from a dream by Su Yu.
"My apologies, I didn't check the time..." Su Yu only then realized it was already midnight.
"You producers, do you all like to find inspiration at night..." Zhao Yuan found a comfortable position to lean against her headboard.
She was long accustomed to late-night calls like this.
The producers at the company would write songs during the quiet of the night, as if only then they could find inspiration.
"Or... you should continue sleeping?"
"Kid, what is it? Spit it out quickly."
"Ahem... I wanted to ask if the company has any newcomers who can perform Chinese opera vocals?"
"Chinese opera vocals?"
Zhao Yuan immediately lost all sleepiness.
The breadth of Su Yu's compositions was truly too vast.
It was one thing to transition from sad love songs to confession songs, but now he was writing Chinese opera vocals.
"There are a few who have debuted, but I don't recall any newcomers. If you're not in a hurry, I can ask for you tomorrow?" Zhao Yuan frowned, thinking for a long time without finding any suitable candidates.
Su Yu quickly thanked her, "Okay, I'll trouble you then."
"Heh, what trouble, it's all within my duties. However, your songwriting speed does surprise me. If the quality remains as high as ever, I believe you'll become an intermediate producer before long."
Zhao Yuan praised Su Yu without reservation.
"Ahem, you praise me so much, I'll get conceited. Director Zhao, I won't disturb you further. Sleep early."
"Oh, right. The results of 'Later' are very good. The company has decided to hold a celebration for you tomorrow night."
"There's no need..."
"It's just a simple internal tea party. You've been at the company for a few days, and your colleagues want to meet you."
"Alright then."
After a few pleasantries with Zhao Yuan.
Su Yu hung up the phone.
...
There are three influential entertainment companies in Shuangqing City.
Among them, Coast Entertainment and Bloom Entertainment are roughly equal in strength. Although Xinghui Entertainment ranks third, its overall strength is considerably weaker than the other two companies.
There is a common internal group among the companies.
It is used for communication among people from different companies.
And at this moment, the internal group had exploded.
"Haha, didn't Zhao Zhicheng brag that he was going to dominate the top spot on the film and television new song chart this month?"
"Xinghui snatched the first place, and it's a newcomer too. Zhao Zhicheng probably has no face to brag in the group anymore."
"We can't say that either. Zhao Zhicheng did fulfill his previous promise, after all, he held the number one spot for five days before being overtaken."
"Huh? Why isn't Zhao Zhicheng posting his new song's data in the group today?"
"I'll post it for him. Zhao Zhicheng, the singer of 'Forever,' downloads: 700,000, Film and Television New Song Chart ranking... Second, haha..."
"Hahahaha..."
Zhao Zhicheng is a top-tier singer at Coast Entertainment.
The theme song of the recently released film "Me and Her's Game" was sung by him.
Previously, Zhao Zhicheng had boasted in the group that he would definitely take the number one spot on the new song chart this time.
With no new dramas being released recently, he was the only top-tier singer who released a song.
Therefore, he had this confidence and also used this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show off to his peers.
In the previous few days, Zhao Zhicheng, relying on his fan base, had immediately rushed to the top of the charts as soon as his song was released.
To show off, he posted his new song's data in the group every day.
He never expected that the first place would be taken by Xinghui's Jiang Xiao'e with "Later."
"Zhicheng, don't smoke anymore. Protect your throat." His agent Wu Xin said softly beside him, looking at the silent Zhao Zhicheng.
"Sister Wu, I've smoked two packs of cigarettes and still can't figure it out. How could Jiang Xiao'e, a newcomer, surpass me..."
Zhao Zhicheng's tone was a little aggrieved.
If he had known, he wouldn't have bragged.
He had lost face terribly this time.
"It can't be helped. The song 'Later' is too amazing. That 'Listen to the Rain' must be a pseudonym for a high-level producer." Wu Xin patted Zhao Zhicheng's shoulder to comfort him.
"But we also hired a high-level producer, and I have a fan base..." Zhao Zhicheng felt even more wronged.
"You can't compare it like that. Not only is 'Later' of excellent quality, but it also perfectly matches the movie, giving it a much stronger sense of immersion than ours."
Wu Xin sighed.
She had to admit that the song "Later," paired with the movie "Us Back Then," was a match made in heaven.
With the added immersion, it could naturally resonate easily with listeners.
"Alas..."
Finally, Zhao Zhicheng extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand. He could only attribute it to bad luck.
He took out his phone and saw that the group was full of mockery. His eyes twitched.
He quickly typed with both hands: "You people who are making sarcastic remarks, can't you hear it? The quality of the song 'Later' is worthy of the first place!"
"Zhao Zhicheng is here, everyone come and laugh at him!"
"Haha, so you start praising others when you can't beat them?"
"Where are the people from Xinghui? Come out and brag. It's not often that Zhao Zhicheng gets flustered."
"No, no, we from Xinghui dare not brag in front of the great gods..."
"It's okay, we from Bloom Entertainment can testify. Zhao Zhicheng lost this time, haha..."
The three companies are rivals, and Bloom Entertainment and Zhao Zhicheng's Coast Entertainment are even more so.
They were naturally happy to see Zhao Zhicheng embarrassed.
"Li Yunchuan, I can't argue with you now that I've lost, but you're releasing a new song soon, right? I'll see how I mock you if the results aren't good." Zhao Zhicheng found a target to shift the topic when Li Yunchuan from Bloom Entertainment appeared in the group.
Li Yunchuan from Bloom Entertainment, like him, was also a top-tier singer.
He was participating in the confession season event and was also releasing a new song.
"Haha, since you mentioned it, I'll say it here: I, Li Yunchuan, will take first place in this confession season!" Li Yunchuan imitated Zhao Zhicheng's previous tone and said in the group.
"Hmph, so confident? My previous lesson is still right there." Zhao Zhicheng was unconvinced.
"Don't worry, I've already investigated. The prize money for the confession season is too low, and the big players are not interested. My participation in the confession season is a 'dimensional reduction attack,' so getting a championship is just a matter of speaking!"
"Tch, don't rush to brag. Be careful not to fall flat on your face."
"I'm not like you, Zhao Zhicheng. There are not even a few second-tier singers participating in this confession season. If I can't win this small competition, can I still call myself a top-tier singer?"
"Hmph, I don't have time to argue with you."
"Hahahaha..."
