Chapter 281 Targeted
On March 15, Universal, which had been suspended for nearly a month, finally resumed.
The ensuing news was announced that Li Sheng would no longer serve as the global president, and the position of global president would be replaced by the former general manager Sun Xinling, and Sun Xinling's position as general manager would be replaced by Chen Peiming, the former global CFO.
The resignation of the husband and the ascension of the wife seem to many to be a bit of a change from left hand to right hand, but insiders know that this is a harbinger of global change. Chen Peiming's ascension means that most of the world will carry out streamlining reforms, which is mostly the meaning of the capital.
Inside the world, which has long heard the rumors, people's hearts are even more panicked.
Rumors of layoffs, contract terminations, etc., have come one after another, and many people have begun to look for their next home.
For Sun Xinling, she is under a lot of pressure.
She is Li Sheng's last step in taking control of the company, and if she can't get the global business up next, then the results are obvious.
On the day of her appointment, Sun Xinling met with a guest, Sun Zhihao, the pan-China director of Imusic.
But she turned down Sun Zhihao's invitation to join the Imusic Superstar Program.
Because, Universal can't afford to gamble now, what she urgently needs to do now is to stabilize the crumbling Global first, instead of dragging the wrecked ship that is about to sink to open up a new continent.
Imusic has hit a wall in the mainland market once because of policy reasons, and then the eclectic Cmusic has almost become a private territory for the British Championship, and the big guys have big opinions.
And now, the policy is open. But the four major platforms have gained a firm foothold in China, and even such a large platform as meager and ten degrees cannot be among them. What kind of storm can Imusic, an outsider, set off?
For the sake of an uncertain Imusic, offended the four major platforms. Now she doesn't dare.
What's more, Sun Zhihao also said that now only Ding Ning has joined.
Although Sun Zhihao said that this was a good opportunity for Universal and Ding Ning to put aside their previous suspicions, he was willing to be a lobbyist.
But she didn't want to.
Even if she is willing, her artists, except for Li Yixian, are afraid and unwilling.
This kind of knotted eye. She didn't want to make a fuss, and she didn't think Sun Zhihao had the ability to be a lobbyist between Universal and Ding Ning.
The world has already shown favor to Ding Ning through various channels, Ding Ning ignored it, and Sun Zhihao himself couldn't make a guarantee, it was a big fool at first glance, and she would be hell if she believed it.
After Sun Zhihao left, Sun Xinling called Li Sheng: "Imusic's superstar plan, I rejected it, no problem." ”
Although he left office. But Li Sheng is still very clear about all kinds of matters in the industry.
Knowing what the superstar plan was all about, he said: "If you refuse, you can refuse, anyway, it's just a thing called Hanako." It definitely can't be done, and no one should pay attention to him. ”
Sun Xinling said: "It seems that Ding Ning has joined." ”
Li Sheng was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled disdainfully: "I can only fool Ding Ning." His hand must have wanted to reach out, but he didn't know after his hand reached out. Can you still stretch it back, it would be funny if it was blocked by the platform provider. ”
"Then do you want to reveal the news to the four major platforms?" Sun Xinling thought about it.
Li Sheng thought.
can think of a series of things against Ding Ning before. It didn't end well, and he was very hesitant.
But if he didn't do it, he couldn't bear it, he paused, and said, "Be secretive, don't let Ding Ning know that we revealed the news." ”
Sun Xinling frowned: "Then you have to take it slowly, Sun Zhihao just found us, if we spread the news now, we will definitely be suspicious." ”
Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, Li Sheng thought about it for a while, and felt that it was still a little less important now, so he said: "Then forget it, Sun Zhihao will definitely go to find someone else, I guess I can't hold this matter, I will definitely poke it out." Except for Ding Ning, there is no one else, right? ”
"It should be gone, Sun Zhihao told me that Ding Ning has joined."
"That's fine, let them make trouble, let's just sit and watch the show."
……
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Kong Que hung up the phone, with a sullen look, Jiang Yu hurriedly asked.
"Huh? Not much. Kong Que glanced at Jiang Yu sideways, and walked to the sofa and sat down depressedly.
She really didn't have the mood or face to tell Jiang Yu that the boss planned to delay the release of her EP.
I knew that the results of "Let Her Land" were not good, it did not meet the ideal, and the boss was not satisfied.
Extension, when will it be postponed?
Will she be hidden?
Her heart was terrified.
died as soon as she debuted, this thing has gone a lot in the music world, she is afraid that she will encounter it herself, and she will not be laughed at to death.
You must know that in the past two days, her classmates have called her one by one to congratulate her, and she is quite complacent, feeling that she is not valued by others on weekdays, but she has to raise her eyebrows.
But now it's okay, the EP has been postponed, and if this postponement is pushed and pushed, it will become a shadowless thing, then she shouldn't become everyone's laughing stock.
Seeing that Kong Que was reluctant to say, Jiang Yu didn't ask again.
But she could see that there must be something wrong with Kong Que, otherwise she wouldn't be depressed and absent-minded.
After staying in the living room for a while, the more I thought about it, the more worried I became, and I wanted to cry, so Kong Que put on his shoes and went upstairs with a heavy heart.
Hearing a "bang", I thought that Kong Que should have entered her own house, and Qian Jiani, who also saw that Kong Que had something on her mind, glanced upstairs and said, "What's wrong with her, why is she suddenly unhappy." ”
"Who knows." Jiang Yu, who was sitting in front of the computer, stood up: "I went to sleep too." ”
"Hmm." Qian Jiani looked down at the table below, it was almost 11 o'clock, and it was time to sleep.
As soon as Jiang Yu walked to the second floor, she saw Song Zhen, who lived next door to Kong Que, gently open the door and crept out.
She was about to greet Song Zhen, but saw Song Zhen stretch out her finger and make a "shhh" gesture.
Jiang Yu's mouth was open, and she quickly closed it, and the pace under her feet sped up. But the steps are light. Because after Song Zhen went out, she put her face sideways on Kong Que's door and listened. At first glance, there is a condition.
After walking to Song Zhen's side, Jiang Yu asked Song Zhen softly, "What's wrong?" ”
Song Zhen replied softly: "It seems to be crying." ”
Crying?
Jiang Yu also hurriedly put her ear to the door and listened.
I'm really crying. The cry was dull and muffled, intermittent.
It stands to reason that she should be very happy now when she just debuted, why is she crying.
Obviously, something very sad must have happened to her.
As the eldest sister, she was very worried about what happened to Kong Que, so Jiang Yu hurriedly knocked on the door: "Kong Que, Kong Que." ”
It took a long time for Kong Que to open the door.
I saw Jiang Yu and Song Zhen standing at the door. Qian Jiani also hurriedly walked over, Kong Que was stunned, and then said in a low voice: "Is there something?" ”
Kong Que's eyes were so red that Jiang Yu hurriedly took Kong Que's hand and asked with concern, "Why are you crying?" ”
Seeing that Jiang Yu and the three of them were all concerned, they were very moved, and Kong Que's newly dried eyes moistened again: "It's okay." ”
"Are you alright?" Jiang Yu hurriedly took out a tissue from her clothes pocket.
"It's fine."
"Then why are you crying?" Song Zhen asked.
It's not a problem to think about hiding it, since it's the boss's decision, they will definitely know about it soon. Kong Que was silent for a moment and said, "My album has been postponed." ”
Jiang Yu and the three of them looked at each other when they heard this, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
They also know about Kong Que's situation, which is very strange. The sales are obviously good, but the number of broadcasts is much worse than that of singers who also sell.
They also speculated that the high sales may be driven by the boss's popularity. The reason why it can't be played is because Kong Que's songs are not very popular with the public.
Now. Kong Que said that her album was postponed, and saw Kong Que crying like this. In their minds, a consistent thought came to mind: Kong Que's grades were not good, which caused the boss to be not optimistic about her, so she cried.
Everyone is crying in this way, the three of them have not debuted, and the pressure has increased sharply for a while.
Bad grades and being beaten into the cold palace are very common in the music world, but because Ding Ning has always been brilliant, they have never thought about it before.
Who would have thought that they are now red. Bare. encountered this nakedly, the reality of daring to love was still cruel, and their emotions also fell to the bottom in an instant.
Jiang Yu was the first to adjust: "Don't worry, it's just a postponement, and it's not that it's not on sale, don't cry." ”
After saying this, even she felt cold, but she really couldn't find anything else to say.
"Hmm." Kong Que nodded, but his heart became more and more sour.
Wanwei has always been invincible, but she became the first person to drag her feet, and it is a shame to think about it.
"Did the boss say why it was postponed?" Qian Jiani asked.
"I didn't say, I didn't dare to ask." Kong Que said weakly.
Caring is chaotic, this is obviously Kong Que putting too much pressure on himself, Qian Jiani said: "Then don't think about it, maybe the boss is too anxious and wants to help you do publicity again." It's a good thing to be down-to-earth step by step, don't be too anxious. ”
"yes." Song Zhen interjected: "Don't think nonsense, the boss must have his own plan, we all believe that you will become popular, really." ”
"That is, believe in yourself, if you sell so well, you will definitely be popular."
"Thank you." When he is sad, he can be comforted by someone, and Kong Que feels much more comfortable.

"Ding Ning joins the Imusic Superstar Program, suspected of being targeted by the four major music platforms in the mainland"
On March 18, a report on Xinchao.com stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, which aroused the attention of all parties.
According to the report, Imusic, the world's No. 1 online music platform, restarted its entry into the mainland market, made a series of localization reforms, and convened a series of superstars to cheer for it, Ding Ning, Jiang Zhiran, An Keqing and Du Yun and other superstars have attended Imusic's "Nirvana" press conference to support Imusic.
Driven by the strong appeal of superstars, the installed capacity of Imusic's computer platform and mobile platform has soared in just a few days, and in terms of installed capacity, it is faintly approaching the fourth largest online music sales platform in China.
But Ding Ning, who was the first to join the Imusic plan, is suspected to have been targeted by the four major platforms, and all major platforms have withdrawn all the publicity positions of Wanweifang, dropping the search ranking related to Wanwei, and Weige even had a situation where it was impossible to pay for the purchase of Wanwei's artist products.
As soon as this report came out. Ding Ning's music fan group, who had long been aware of the abnormality, immediately set off a wave of boycotting micro-songs. The momentum is so great that even Ding Ning won the MH Asian Music Award for Best Newcomer was ignored.
Li Cang, content director of Weige Music. reacted quickly, saying that it was just a network error, and it was not deliberately aimed at Ding Ning, but the defense was pale, because everyone could see that all the information related to Wanwei had disappeared on the homepage and various subpages of Weige.
This wave of boycott, under Ding Ning's appeal, quickly stopped, but the reaction of various platforms. Very intriguing.
Many people feel that Ding Ning is afraid that he will be snubbed and targeted by the four major platforms next.
Sure enough, in the next few days, netizens found that on QE and Yiwang, a series of song data related to Ding Ning, except for sales, the growth rate was much slower than usual, especially obvious, and the ranking also declined rapidly.
The most obvious is "Dark Fragrance", which has been at the top of the weekly list recently. The next week, it fell to seventeen or eighteen.
Moreover, the QE and Yiwang entertainment sections, news about Ding Ning, also show signs of disappearing.
Many people think that this is the two major platforms doing tricks, and the scolding war has started again.
Followed by. A major event related to the entire domestic Chinese music scene has completely escalated the scolding war, that is: the announcement of the Chinese song list. The new Chinese song chart was officially launched.
The list covers two categories: singles and albums, and is divided into daily charts. There are four parts: weekly, monthly and annual (which has been extended since last month to the same month last year). The singles chart has a play chart and a sales chart, while albums only have a sales chart.
The data of each list has two parts: real-time and historical high data, and the data is quoted from the four major platforms, meager music and ten degrees music, which is undoubtedly the most authoritative list in China.
As soon as this list came out, netizens found that Ding Ning, who was extremely noisy before, performed quite mediocre on the list, and many of the songs he sang were ranked behind the old, and many of the songs he wrote were also lackluster.
The highest on the daily, weekly, and monthly lists are "Dark Fragrance", 8th on the monthly list, 16th on the weekly list, and 39th on the daily list, and there are also conspicuous green arrows on each list, which means that the ranking of this song is declining.
And the highest on the anniversary list is "Full Moon West Building" at No. 24, this song that swept the streets and alleys in the first two months seems to have become less popular all of a sudden.
Such a situation completely detonated the emotions of Ding Ning's fans.
It is true that Ding Ning has been busy filming recently, and he has not produced many works, nor has he helped others to produce works, which is the reason for his sluggish performance on the list, but the data of "Dark Fragrance" has slipped too weirdly, which is to say that he has no hands and feet, but no one believes it.
Although netizens made a lot of noise, the platform did not make any response and responded silently.
To be silent is to acknowledge, and this is what many people subconsciously know.
More and more believe that the four major platforms are on the bar with Ding Ning, and Ding Ning's recent exposure has become less and less, and the voice of Ding Ning has been around for a while.
On March 23, Wanwei issued a statement that its artist Kong Que's new album will be postponed, and I am deeply sorry.
is so critical that the release of the new album was suddenly postponed, and they all felt that Ding Ning had not negotiated with the four major platforms, and he was retaliated, and the voice of singing and declining was even more noisy.
……
"Is Wanwei going to be blocked by Weige?"
Li Shiqi looked at the news report on the computer and was very happy.
Kong Que's new special has been postponed, Wanwei is suspicious and the four major platforms have collapsed, look at it, what good news.
"God knows, Kong Que is pitiful enough." Zheng Junqian expressed deep sympathy for Kong Que.
finally entered Wanwei, and saw that one foot had entered the dragon gate, but it turned out to be such a trouble, and I don't know if her dream will be broken.
"It's not that Ding Ning is dead, he jumped out and became a target." Zhu Xueling pouted.
Zheng Junqian retorted: "Then how can you blame Ding Ning, it is purely the insidious work of the four major platforms, and they try their best to compete indiscriminately." ”
Li Shiqi sighed deliberately and said, "Hey, do you think Ding Ning will fall because of this." ”
Zheng Junqian frowned: "Maybe, being blocked by the platform is almost the end of it." Compared with the four major platforms, Imusic is still far behind. ”
"It's not", Zhu Xueling took over: "I don't think Ding Ning's sales on Imusic are not very good, not as powerful as on the four major platforms at all, and he slaughters the list at every turn." I just went to see it, and his "Dark Fragrance" is worse than the Chinese song chart on Imusic, and the two albums have sold a lot on the Internet. Moreover, I don't think Imusic promotes him much, and he doesn't look like he's making any noise at all. ”
"Hehe", Li Shiqi smiled happily: "This is picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon, Ding Ning is losing a lot this time." ”
"That's it, it's a loss that the pants are gone, so it's too bad to be angry."
"Poor."
"NO_zuo_no_die, this is still coming from Ding Ning."
"Why are you gloating so much?" Listening to Li Shiqi and Zhu Xueling singing and harmonizing there, Zheng Junqian felt it, these two people definitely didn't have any good intentions, maybe they were jealous of Kong Que, hoping that she was unlucky.
"No, just sigh." Li Shiqi closed the notebook, and the corners of her mouth raised: "I'm out, bye." ”
……
"I'll go, we'll take the blame again."
"Ding Ning's artist new album postponed, suspected of joint retaliation by the four major platforms", looking at this news, Li Cangzhen is really the first two big.
Without even thinking about it, he knew that his meager would definitely explode again.
But this time, he was really wronged.
Not only was he wronged this time, but Ding Ning's "Dark Fragrance" before, the data plummeted, and he was also wronged.
Ding Ning himself supported the Imusic promotion, and for a while, the fans were diverted, can the data not drop, but Ding Ning's fans still counted the accounts on their heads, he was really wronged by Dou E.
What is not unjust is that he did remove all of Ding Ning's promotional slots, canceled many search keywords related to Wanwei, and once blocked the purchase function of Ding Ning's two albums and all singles.
But who told Ding Ning to run to cheer for Imusic, isn't this purely uneasy with them, if you don't come up with some means, how can you show their majesty to make an example of the chickens and monkeys.
"It's just a back, it's not that I haven't carried it, it's a fire, we directly blocked him." Jia Xinli turned his chair and said with a smile.
In the fourth quarter of last year, sales related to Ding Ning accounted for 24% of the total sales of the Weige platform. Such a big customer, blocked, where to make up for the 24%.
What's more, Ding Ning's fans are the craziest group of people today, tearing him for a few days without taking a breath, he doesn't dare to offend, Li Cang glanced at Jia Xinli: "Come on, you have to ban you." I remember that after the ban, the clockwork meager statement stated that Uncle Ben did it, don't let his fans settle the account on my head. ”
Jia Xinli pouted and smiled: "Look at you, you are so afraid, call Ding Ning and tell him that you don't carry this pot." ”
When Li Cang heard this, his eyes lit up: "Hey, yes, it's time to call him." Grandma's, I really don't carry this pot. ”
Li Cang stretched out his hand to pull the phone, and Jia Xinli was surprised: "It's really calling." ”
"Do you want to learn the fans' tearing skills." Li Cang glanced at Jia Xinli resentfully: "What's more, it's not for our own good to ask him to issue a clarification statement." ”
"Yes, I wronged you." Jia Xinli shook his head.
In these years, if you offend anyone, don't offend the brain-dead fans, let alone the thousands of big stars with brain-dead fans, otherwise you don't want to live a peaceful life, and don't want to live a comfortable life. (To be continued.) )
