Crazy crazy.

Taihe Maitian, the top domestic music record company, was driven crazy by Wei Mu's new album.

On the night of July 19 alone, I received dozens of calls from channel companies.

It’s all about one question – when will it be shipped?!

For brick-and-mortar video stores, time is money.

If you don't sell it now, all the profits will be stolen by pirates.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, please calm down. We have really tried our best. We have prepared 30,000 copies in the first batch. Who would have thought that they would all be sold out on the day of release. The machines at the publishing house are almost smoking, and they are burning 24 hours a day..."

"Isn't this your problem? There is no reasonable estimate for this album!!"

Following a series of busy signals, Xiao Li, an employee of Taihe Maitian's customer service department, hung up the phone and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

This is the tenth complaint call he has received today. The one just now was quite good-tempered, at least he didn't curse.

“Isn’t this bullying an honest person!!”

Next door, a colleague who had just been scolded was venting his anger.

Xiao Li quickly comforted: "Brother Liu is right, can we be blamed for this? Isn't it a company decision-making problem? The first batch of shipments is too small!!"

"Yeah. But who the hell would have thought that "Decent" would be so popular?"

"This is the off-season in July, and it's time for the Olympics. If I were the boss, I wouldn't prepare too much."

"Hard Steel Olympics, I never dare to think like this in my wildest dreams!!"

The momentum was stronger than anyone expected.

The six songs in the "Decent" album, like six-tailed fish, swam into the top 25 of major radio charts overnight.

Among them, the two hit songs "Preference" and "Let's Break Up" are like rockets, rising in the rankings hour by hour.

From the inconspicuous 19th place, to the 17th place that came into view, to the 13th place that caused discussion...

In the end, these two songs with completely different styles but equally catchy ears made it into the top ten of the fiercely competitive rankings.

Compared with "Decent", which has been fermenting for three months and has a more restrained and sad style, "Preferred" hits the sweet spot of young listeners more directly with its strong rhythm and heartfelt lyrics.

Taking over the top spot is only a matter of time!!

The phrase "I said/I won't dodge/I have to do this" has become the signature of many young people in QQ space.

In this scorching July, when the Olympic atmosphere is lingering in the streets and alleys, Wei Mu ripped a hole with his "Decent" and gave the Chinese music scene a small shock with his sweeping momentum.

.........

After a quick look at it, I identified it as: I studied journalism...

In later generations, under the leadership of a certain big internet celebrity, journalism became the target of criticism.

But now it is 2008, and Southern Metropolis Daily is still alive. Not only alive, but also alive and authoritative.

The media's sense of smell is always sharp.

When I open the newspaper these days, it is full of Olympic news, and ordinary people are tired of reading it.

It's time to show them something new.

"'Decent' competing with the Olympics?"

"Hey, Old Wei. Are you so awesome that you can directly compete in the Olympics?"
