Chapter 63: Testing the Waters of the Internet

The bonfire party ended with everyone's laughter. The second day is arranged for horseback riding at your own expense or playing around on your own.

In this life, Jiang Hui really never rode a horse, and rode around the scenic spot with a few buddies in the dormitory. When it is said to be riding, it is actually someone else leading the horse and sitting on the horse by himself, without much joy of riding.

Others simply play cards at their lodging and wait for lunch to go back to school.

On the way back, a group of people played a killing game, which seemed to be a must-play item for the first class of industrial engineering in the four-year outdoor activities of college.

On the way back, Jiang Hui received a call from Zhang Mengze and learned that they had passed the finals in the imperial capital region and were now preparing for the national finals at the end of the month. The online promotion is also planned to start tonight, so that Jiang Hui can provide them with guidance at any time.

Zhang Mengze and the others have not seen the power of the Internet after all, Jiang Hui is not worried at all about whether these songs can be popular, these are all verified songs, just see if they can be faster and then the dream band will also become popular through these songs, but don't be depressed if the song is not popular.

After getting off the bus, Jiang Hui didn't go back to school, said hello to everyone, and went directly to the studio of the Dream Band.

Zhang Mengze and the others were busy in the studio, and the computer was on next to them. Jiang Hui looked at the specific promotion given by the marketing company, slightly added some commonly used techniques in later generations, and waited to upload the song to see everyone's reaction.

If a new song is not promoted, even if the quality of the song is very good, it will take a long time to rely on word-of-mouth to spread slowly, which obviously cannot meet Jiang Hui's requirements. Jiang Hui has brought some of the methods commonly used by the Internet water army in later generations to the present in advance, which should have good results.

Speaking of the water army, some people praise and some scold, but in any case, it is also a new profession derived from the development of the Internet, mainly to inject water and post to get paid. When every popular TV series or movie is released, someone posts on the Internet to recruit trolls, attack or praise. In addition, when you want to scold some celebrities or praise some celebrities, there are also people who recruit on the Internet. Posting a swear post on the Internet can usually earn 5 dimes, so it is often called the Five Mao Party.

Behind the scolding war between Mengniu and Yili in later generations, the dispute between Wang Laoji and Jia Duobao, and even the rise of many small fresh meats, there is the shadow of the water army, and the means are becoming more and more flexible and influential.

The company that the dream band found has a good reputation in the industry, and what they are good at is touting, and after the song "Mice Love Rice" was uploaded, they began to post wildly on major forums.

"The Beiying College Student Band Sings the Best Song of the Year".

"Different Mice Love Rice".

"Internet Pop New Song: Mice Love Rice".

"Dream Band on the Rise".

"A Song of a Woman and Three Men".

"A new song that you will regret if you don't listen to it".

"Witness the Birth of the Divine Comedy".

"There is no shortage of original songs in the mainland".

"The Legend of Rats Loving Rice and Overwhelming Li Jian?"

……

All sorts of posts fill the forums at once, and each post is followed by all sorts of compliments that make it seem like it's genuine. Occasionally, there is a post that is not good, and if you take a closer look, you will find that it is actually still turning a corner and praising it.

In less than an hour, "Mice Love Rice" has already surpassed 100,000 views, and some comments from real listeners have begun to appear on the network, which has further accelerated the spread of the song. By 10 o'clock in the evening, the hits had exceeded 500,000, and it had already appeared on the list of new songs.

Although there are various water armies in these years, the promotion methods of water armies are still a little backward compared with later generations. After Jiang Hui added some techniques. The immediate results were amazing, and it is already possible to meet that the new song uploaded tonight will definitely start to become popular tomorrow, and it is estimated that it will be able to rush to the top of the chart in a few days.

There is not much point for Jiang Hui to stay in the studio, and the rest is nothing more than relying on the further fermentation of the Internet, and when some Internet media also begin to pay attention, it will basically come to an end.

The next morning, "Mice Love Rice" had already rushed to the third place on the new song chart, and under the guidance of the water army, more and more people joined in the comments on the song. The water army also began to guide the discussion direction to the dream band, after all, the purpose of pushing the song is to let everyone know about the dream band.

In the evening, almost 24 hours after uploading the song, "Mice Love Rice" successfully topped the new song package chart. There have also been some spontaneous review articles on some Internet sites, most of which are mainly praise, and occasionally some say that the songs are bland and featureless, but this has not stopped the momentum of "Mice Love Rice".

The second wave of the trolls was focused on Dream Band, and soon various posts about Dream Band began to appear on major forums.

"Exclusive Dream Band".

"The Story Behind the Mouse Loves Rice".

"Dream Band Lead Singer Zhang Mengze".

"The Most Beautiful Band Lead Singer".

"Another Chronicle of Water and Wood?".

"The Persistence of Four College Students".

……

Zhang Mengze and the others soon felt the power of the water army, and relatives, friends, classmates and teachers kept calling and asking:

"Is Dream Band really your band?".

"The Zhang Mengze on the Internet is talking about you, right?"

"Sister Zhang, you are popular, our classmates are discussing you."

"Wow, you're just a blockbuster."

……

The members of the Dream Band can be described as painful and happy, and soon their mobile phones are out of battery.

These were all expected by Jiang Hui, so all day on Monday, except for a few phone calls from the Song Dream Band, he was busy with his website in the library, and he also had dinner with Bai Xue in the evening.

"The song you wrote seems to be popular on the Internet again, it's a dream band singing, is this band the one that Late Autumn Song will help you with?" Bai Xue asked.

"Yes, anyway, I didn't have anything to do with being a singer or anything, so I licensed all those songs to Dream Band to sing," Jiang Hui said.

"When they become popular, will many people come to you to write songs?" Bai Xue said.

"When I asked them to upload the songs, I didn't mention my real name, only that it was Xiao Jiang, but I sang these songs at the Late Autumn Song Festival, and maybe some people will still be able to find me, so I can only watch one step at a time," Jiang Hui said.
