Chapter 23 Tops Trending Searches; New Song Released
Most importantly, the Douyu live streaming platform subsequently encountered issues related to gambling involving tipping and membership.
He needs to sever ties with game streaming platforms as soon as possible, otherwise this path he took will be criticized by rivals and their haters in the future, which will be detrimental to the brands he endorses.
Upon hearing this, Principal Wang immediately understood his intention. Many celebrities use charity to whitewash their image, so he nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I understand what you mean!"
"You will receive the donation certificate in a week."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yi felt exceptionally relaxed. He paid the bill, greeted everyone, and then got up and left the private room.
At this time, Gu Yi had already become a trending topic on Weibo.
Top 3 trending topics: #Gu Yi and Zhang Yelei sing "Still Split It Apart", Noxus, the champion of LOL, is ushering in a new spring#
Top 5: #Multiple esports teams and clubs appeared in Gu Yi's live stream, donating 600 million yuan in one night#
Top 8: #LOL pro player becomes a singer, new song "Underwater" officially released at midnight on the 11th#
Top 12: #Gu's Triangle Kills Lee Sin#
Top 20: #Gu Yi's live performance of "Enough Love"#
The trending topics continued to climb, attracting the attention of countless netizens.
Meanwhile, Gu Yi's adapted song "Still Split" was already available on major music platforms during the live stream.
In just a few hours, relying solely on Noxus players, the song's collection count surpassed one million.
It even topped the new song chart.
23 PM
Xiao Lin, the operations specialist responsible for monitoring the backend data of Wangyi Cloud Music, stared intently at the numbers flashing on the screen.
He repeatedly checked each set of data.
It has 105 million favorites, over 800 million views, more than 5 interactions in the comment section, and a user retention rate as high as 78%.
More importantly, after IP screening, behavioral trajectory analysis, and account activity verification, all data showed no abnormalities and there were no signs of ranking manipulation.
"Manager Zhang!"
Xiaolin, holding the newly printed report, rushed into the project manager's office.
"The song 'Still Split' garnered over a million favorites in three hours, with 100% being genuine user submissions—all spontaneously generated!"
"Do you think we should apply for the homepage carousel resource? Otherwise, I'm worried QQ Music might block it!"
Manager Zhang quickly scanned the report and immediately made a decision.
"I'll apply for a resource slot through the expedited process!"
"We can't let this wave of traffic slip away!"
at the same time,
The atmosphere at QQ Music's data center was equally tense.
Chen Mo, the operations team leader, stared at the backend data of "Still Split" with a furrowed brow and barely concealed excitement.
"A million favorites in three hours, zero anomalies—this crossover contestant's appeal is incredible!"
However, intern Xiao Zhou was much more serious. She scrolled through the comments section with her mouse, then suddenly stopped.
"Team leader, someone in the comments section said that Gu Yi sang his new song 'Under the Sea' during his live stream, and it's really good. It'll be available at midnight tonight!"
Chen Mo quickly clicked to the backend to see the new song Gu Yi uploaded, and listened to the a cappella section several times.
He then looked through the comments on "Still Split" and found that a large number of users were mentioning "Underwater" in the comments section, with an interaction rate far exceeding the platform average. He immediately got up.
"With such a huge pre-release buzz, the song 'Underwater' is definitely going to be a hit. I'm going to ask Manager Li for resources! This is absolutely a rising star!"
Not long after,
Inside the manager's office,
Li Wei's eyes lit up instantly after listening to the song.
"Being close to the water tower gives you an advantage! I immediately contacted Gu Yi to discuss an exclusive contract for 'Underwater' and its subsequent works."
"Hurry up and get the homepage banner for the new song ready, before she approves it and we're caught off guard!"
"receive!"
Chen Mo nodded.
Go get to work now.
Gu Yi returned home after finishing his late-night snack. He had just washed up when his phone rang. The caller ID showed a stranger.
"Hello, may I ask who you are?"
"Hello Gu Yi, this is Li Wei, the manager of the copyright department of QQ Music. Your song 'Still Split' has been collected more than one million times in 3 hours after its release. The data performance is very impressive."
Li Wei called Gu Yi from his office.
"We noticed that you also have a song called 'Underwater' that is about to be released. We would like to discuss an exclusive contract for this song and your subsequent works. What do you think?"
Gu Yi leaned back on the sofa and refused without hesitation.
"Manager Li, thank you very much for your recognition, but I cannot agree to an exclusive contract at this time."
"What? You think the revenue share is too low? We can sign a performance-based agreement. If your new song reaches a certain number of plays, we'll give you 60% of the revenue."
Li Wei was somewhat confused.
"no!"
Gu Yi shook his head.
"We offer guaranteed contracts. As long as you reach the level of a top-tier singer, we guarantee a minimum of 3-10 million RMB per year. You've just started, and I can apply for 1 million RMB per year without any problem."
Li Wei started to increase his bets.
After all, LOL is Tencent's core IP, and Gu Yi's crossover brings its own traffic. If NetEase Cloud takes it away, that would be terrible.
"You've probably misunderstood. I've just transitioned to a new model, and my primary goal is to expand my audience and build up my influence. An exclusive model would limit the reach of my songs, which would be counterproductive."
Gu Yi explained with a smile.
Li Wei was somewhat surprised to hear this.
He hadn't expected Gu Yi to be such a clear-headed musician in such a short time; it seemed he had planned this all along.
"I understand. I'll apply for homepage poster promotion for your new song as a small gift."
"We'll keep you informed if you have any further needs."
Since Gu Yi has Tencent's DNA, it's not unreasonable to let him go out and try things out.
If it really works out,
Perhaps others will be able to replicate his path in the future.
Once the process for professional League of Legends players to transition into singers is perfected, can other games do the same?
Li Wei believes that the group is happy to see this.
Giving us some resources is nothing!
Gu Yi smiled and thanked him.
"Thank you so much, Manager Li."
"You're too kind!"
After the two hung up the phone, Gu Yi saw that QQ Music had sent a notification that the resource had been approved and that the featured image on the homepage would be available at midnight.
At the same time, Gu Yi sent Xue Zhiqian the link to the online release of "Underwater" and left a brief message.
"Teacher Xue, my new song is scheduled to be released at midnight tonight. Could you please listen to it for me?"
Xue Zhiqian replied not long after.
"Great, Gu Yi! This song is excellent; the melody and lyrics are very catchy."
"I'll recommend it to you once it's released!"
He didn't tell Gu Yi.
I've already heard him sing in his live stream.
"Thank you, Teacher Xue!"
Gu Yi replied.
"Then I'll post an update on Weibo, could you please retweet it for me?"
"OK!!!"
Not long after,
When the time comes to 24:00,
Gu Yi updated his Weibo.
The official announcement states that the new song "Underwater" has been officially released on all platforms.
The new song "Underwater" is now officially released!
"The most beautiful scenery in the world is the sunshine after breaking through despair! If you feel lost, you might as well listen to this."
May all who have fallen find their way home.
After sending the music platform link, he put down his phone, lay down on the bed, and went to sleep.
