Chapter 90 Far ahead!
These two days, Xu Ya was shocked in the lounge when she saw Xia Anruo's new song data surpass her and topped the list overnight.
"What the hell did Xia Anruo do? How come the data increased so much in just one night?! Did this woman cheat with the data?" Xu Ya was shocked and angry.
She couldn't understand how Xia Anruo did it. It would have been fine if it was just a one-night outburst, and she still had a chance to catch up, but in the past two days, the data of Xia Anruo's new album continued to rise, with no sign of slowing down.
“It shouldn’t be that serious, right? Music platforms nowadays are strictly checking for data manipulation. Even if there is data manipulation, they won’t do so much at once and it will be easily discovered.” Tang Yu thought it was unlikely. If so much data was manipulated at once, wouldn’t that be treating the platform as a fool?
Although it is not uncommon to manipulate data to compete for rankings in the entertainment industry, it is usually done secretly, and the platform will turn a blind eye if they think you are not going too far. But if you manipulate so many data at once, that would be a red flag. If you really did do that, the platform officials would have taken action long ago.
"If she didn't inflate the data, how could her ranking increase so fast? Tang Yu, go check for me and see if you can find any evidence that Xia Anruo inflated the data." Xu Ya didn't believe it.
You know, Xia Anruo had just calmed down the boycott storm a few days ago, so this increase is totally illogical!
So unreasonable!
Tang Yu responded and was about to check when her cell phone suddenly beeped and she didn't know who she had received a message from. She took out her phone and looked at it. Her face changed and she walked back hesitantly.
"Didn't I ask you to go investigate? Why are you back again?" Xu Ya couldn't help but frowned when she saw Tang Yu coming back.
"Sister Xu, look at the album sales. It seems that Xia Anruo has surpassed you!" Tang Yu said anxiously.
"what?!"
Xu Ya quickly opened her phone and looked at the list. Sure enough, she found that her ranking on the album sales list had been squeezed out by Xia Anruo and she was ranked second.
"Isn't this just brushing the data?!" Xu Ya became more certain of her guess and said angrily.
"No, maybe she really didn't swipe it." Tang Yu suddenly said while looking at the phone.
"What did you say?" Xu Ya said in a bad tone.
"Sister Xu, look at this news..."
Tang Yu handed the phone to Xu Ya. Xu Ya took it and took a look. She saw a screenshot of a novel page, which naturally contained the words written by Chu Ze.
Xu Ya finished reading it quickly and was a little confused for a moment: "What does this mean?"
"This was written by an online writer in a novel. It was probably because of the recommendation of this novel author that the data of Xia Anruo's new album suddenly skyrocketed..." Tang Yu explained based on the information he had learned.
"Online novel? Are you sure you're not mistaken? How can an online novel have such a large amount of traffic?" Xu Ya never reads online novels, so she doesn't know what kind of traffic an online novel can have?
No matter how popular you are as an online writer, can you have as much traffic as a celebrity?
Normally speaking, Xu Ya's idea is correct. Even compared with the traffic of those great platinum authors and first-line stars on Qidian, her traffic is nothing but a drop in the bucket.
What Xu Ya could not have imagined was that Chu Ze was an exception. The popularity of Fights Break Sphere was completely unmatched by any other online novel in this world, just like in the previous life, when Tian Can Tu Dou started a live broadcast and typed, there would be tens of thousands of people with nothing to do supervising the work, and Chu Ze was the Tian Can Tu Dou of this world.
His level is not the same as other online writers.
He is the T0 in the online literature world.
"You're right. This online novel seems to be very popular. It's estimated that at least several million or even tens of millions of people are reading it." Tang Yu said affirmatively.
"Tens of millions?" Xu Ya's pupils shrank in shock. This was indeed beyond her understanding. After all, the world had never heard of an online novel that was so popular.
"Is this also Xia Anruo's method?" Xu Ya pondered.
"Not sure." Tang Yu shook his head.
"What kind of shit luck does Xia Anruo have? How come she even knows someone who writes online articles?" Xu Ya slammed her fist on the table and said gritting her teeth.
"There is only half a day left before the list is announced. Sister Xu, what should we do?" Tang Yu asked Xu Ya for her opinion.
"I'm going to find Zheng Lei."
Xu Ya gritted her teeth but couldn't think of any solution, so she had to walk out of the room with her long legs. But there was only so much time left, and even if Zheng Lei really had some solution, he was powerless to save the situation. He could only watch Xia Anruo step on her head, just like he stepped on Xia Anruo at the beginning, until she was removed from the list.
This moment is just like that moment!
[An Ruo fights back in a desperate situation, and the fight between Xu Ya and An Ruo comes to an end! ]
[An Ruo's new album beat Xu Ya to top the charts, and her popularity is no less than that of popular veteran singers! ]
[Xu Ya lost to An Ruo, was it because she underestimated her opponent or was she already out of date? ]
The competition for the new album had already been watched by many media outlets, but in the last three days, Xia Anruo made a comeback and defeated Xu Ya to top the list. This unexpected event quickly became the front-page headline of major entertainment news websites.
It has to be said that these media are fence-sitters. Not long ago, they were still praising Xu Ya for her popularity remaining as high as before and showing the demeanor of a veteran first-line star. But now that they have lost, they have turned against her and started saying that she is out of date.
Then everyone started praising the quality of An Ruo's new album, saying that it was expected to top the list.
They completely forgot that they had previously collaborated with Hei Anruo and drug-addicted songwriters, and it was them who called for a boycott.
Maybe these reports were written by the same person.
The main feature is a scene of schizophrenia.
You can't be so shameless to try to ride on the popularity of others. You are worthy of being a journalism student.
Far ahead!
Now Xu Ya's Weibo has been flooded with messages from Xia Anruo's fans:
"Hahahaha, Xu Ya's lackey is speaking out. Who said that my An Ruo was not even worthy of carrying Xu Ya's shoes?"
"I wanted to suppress An Ruo but ended up getting killed by her. It's so funny."
"If you are an old woman, you should find someone to marry right away and stop embarrassing yourself!"
“This is all the old first-tier brands are?”
"You just need to practice more."
When Xu Ya’s sales were lower than An Ruo’s before, she felt frustrated that she couldn’t refute the ridicule from Xu Ya’s fans. But now, all An Ruo’s fans stood up and took revenge.
Especially in the past two days, a bunch of Xu Ya's fans came and crazily mocked Xia Anruo for cooperating with drug addicts, saying that she had no talent, poor results, and was just a pretty vase. At that time, Xia Anruo was not in the mood to delete comments or deal with these black fans. Now, things have changed, and you have to pay for what you have done.
You jumped on my face at first, right?
After Xia Anruo's academic performance improved, the comments from these haters turned into a large-scale corpse-whipping scene.
Fans from all walks of life turned into time and space police and started to criticize the black fans' comments.
“Should we remind the fans? It’s too much, isn’t it?” Liao Qing saw that everyone in the comments had started to greet Xu Ya and her fan Zuan. It was nice, but he was afraid that the impact would be bad.
After all, idols pay for their fans' actions.
"Why should I remind her? I didn't see her reminding me when Xu Ya's fans came to me." Xia Anruo waved her hand to signal Liao Qing not to meddle in other people's business.
Xia Anruo does not have the traditional virtue of repaying evil with kindness.
Her main character is revengeful and vengeful, and Chu Ze has a deep understanding of this.
