Singer Tang Feng: The song "Pig's Song" was released on January 7, 2007.

It has been listened to 285,562 times; the single has been downloaded 88,920 times.

The song "Dong Xiaojie" was released on January 7, 2007.

It has been listened to 250,652 times; the single has been downloaded 74,582 times.

From yesterday to today, within just one day, perhaps due to the influence of hype and video promotion, the sales of both songs broke the 100,000 mark, which left Tang Feng marveling. After all, this was just one day, and apart from the sudden surge of the video yesterday, there was no other promotion. For a new artist and new songs to achieve this level was simply mind-blowing.

According to the pricing of 0.3 Hua Yuan per song, the revenue split for original music is 1:1:1. The music sales website gets one-third, the singer gets one-third, and the remaining one-third goes to the copyright owner of the song. Since Tang Feng handled everything himself, he gets 0.2 Hua Yuan per sale.

So, in just one day, with the total sales of over 160,000 for the two songs, he has already earned more than 30,000 Hua Yuan. Even after deducting taxes, he still has nearly 30,000.

Moreover, as more and more people discover the songs, the sales will continue to rise. With just two songs, he could earn a million in a month, and the sales period is two months. Even if the sales drop in the second month, there is still the money from the electronic copyright buyout.

And this is just the electronic copyright. There is also the record copyright. Although the record industry has declined due to the rise of the internet, it is still a significant profit point.

This made Tang Feng realize again that he was still accustomed to the rampant piracy of the other world. He never expected that with the massive population base of Huaxia, a good song without piracy would be such a powerful money-making tool.

If songs can do this, what about videos that get tens of millions of views in the previous life? How much profit could they generate? And what about movies, TV shows, and popular variety shows?

Thinking about this, Tang Feng felt a surge of excitement. Videos, short dramas, movies, TV shows, and variety shows from the previous life... Although he couldn't direct or act, there were people who could. He just needed to provide the scripts and invest...

Wouldn't that bring in a steady stream of wealth? No one ever complains about having too much money. Many people might envy the rich, but who doesn't want to be rich?

It seems he needs to plan his future carefully. Reborn once, he can't just waste time like in the previous life. Although Tang Feng doesn't have lofty goals, everything has to be done step by step. At least he has taken the first step, and as for how far he can go in the future...

While Tang Feng was lost in thought, his phone rang.

"Hello, Director Yu!" Tang Feng glanced at the caller ID, which showed Yu Shengnan, and answered.

"Mr. Feng, check Youdou. I didn't expect that Xingguang would act so decisively, making it impossible to continue the hype!" Yu Shengnan said.

"Huh? What happened with Xingguang?" Tang Feng was surprised.

"Do you know Yan Jianghua? Just now, at Xingguang's media conference, he publicly apologized to you. Xingguang Show also announced that Yan Jianghua will be relieved of his duties. Additionally, Xingguang will not take any fees from your earnings at Xingguang Show and will fully compensate you. Yan Feng, the CEO of Xingguang Group, called our boss. Although we could continue the hype, it would offend Xingguang Group, which would be bad for both you and Youdou. So, after careful consideration, we can't continue the hype!" Yu Shengnan explained.

"Yan Jianghua publicly apologized to me?" Tang Feng was taken aback. Although he had only met Yan Jianghua twice, and both times ended badly, he could tell that Yan Jianghua was not the type to apologize voluntarily. There must be something he doesn't know.

"Hehe, we also thought Yan Jianghua would never apologize publicly. Although he is just the head of the artist department at Xingguang Show, he is the cousin of the chairman of Xingguang Group and has always been arrogant. I think he was forced to apologize and be relieved of his duties by Yan Feng himself!" Yu Shengnan laughed.

It seems I underestimated Yan Jianghua. Although he isn't very capable, he is a relative of the Xingguang Group. However, I didn't plan to do anything more. Now that the purpose of the hype has been achieved and had a good effect, since Xingguang has compromised, there's no need to continue. Otherwise, as Yu Shengnan said, it would be counterproductive.

"Director Yu, I understand. Since our goal has been achieved, it's fine to stop now," Tang Feng said.

"I'm glad you understand! By the way, Mr. Feng, Youdou Show will officially launch on January 10. Prepare well. This is a great opportunity to make a strong start, which will benefit both you and Youdou Show!" Yu Shengnan added.

"January 10? Okay, no problem!" Tang Feng nodded. He knew that this launch of Youdou Show was crucial for Youdou and important for himself. Although the first live stream was very popular, he only had one successful live stream. If the second one fails, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

"By the way, your Weixun has been verified. You can check it out when you have time," Yu Shengnan added.

Tang Feng was slightly surprised. He had only been in this world for a few days, but he was not unfamiliar with Weixun. The previous Tang Feng had also opened a Weixun account, but it had very few followers and no influence. Now, he had gained some popularity. Thinking about how many news stories in the previous life first appeared on Weixun, and how some celebrities could influence many people with just one word, he realized that Weixun was a powerful platform. In the previous life, Weixun was called something else and wasn't the dominant platform, but in this life, Weixun monopolized the market.

After hanging up, Tang Feng logged into Weixun and saw that his account had been verified. He used to envy the verified accounts of celebrities with millions of followers, while his own account had barely reached 100 followers.

He never thought that just one live stream show would make him somewhat famous.

Below his profile picture, there was a description: "Youdou Show signed streamer, singer, representative works: 'Tang Feng Talk Show,' 'Pig's Song,' 'Dong Xiaojie.'"

In fact, Tang Feng knew that Youdou had helped him get verified, which is why it was so quick. Looking at the number of followers, 3,568!

He was surprised to see that over 3,000 people had already followed him. Although this was far less than the popular V accounts, Tang Feng was satisfied. This was the first time in his two lives that so many people had followed his Weixun, and everything was just beginning.

Moreover, many people had already @ him, asking when he would stream next.

So, Tang Feng posted his first Weixun message after verification.

"January 10, 7 PM, Youdou Show, see you there!"
