The emergence of new works is already eye-catching, and with the addition of new masks, the discussion is extremely heated.
Data is not limited to the number of views of new works, but also includes many other aspects.
For example, the speed of rise, attention, discussion, and enthusiasm of fans are all factors that reflect the artist's fame.
With the data of the new work, Igarashi Runa was ecstatic. Although people in the industry went back to their own homes, most of them were paying attention to this moment.
“This is too exaggerated.”
“Are masked artists so popular?”
Seeing the crazy growth in the number of video views, comments, and fans, major firms in the industry were deeply shocked and even envious.
Judging from the effect of this video alone, the rise of Zero Hour is a foregone conclusion.
Most of the firms were shocked and envious, but the reaction of Phantom Star was different.
Like other agencies, at 0:00 in the morning, most of the company's employees and senior executives have gone back to their homes. Only a few artists who have announcements and related teams are still working overtime.
After returning home, Mia Hamada, who had already taken a shower and lay down on the bed, immediately watched the video on her mobile phone.
As a singer who debuted in the Showa period but has retired for many years, Miya Hamada has strong basic skills in music. She is not only good at singing, composing and writing lyrics, but also dabbles in various musical instruments.
Before she retired, she had many works that were popular all over the country and even famous overseas.
In the entertainment industry, as a singer, she is an absolute senior.
That's right, when she put on headphones, watched the video and listened to the performance, she was drawn into the world of piano sound.
“Flight of the Bumblebee…”
When Miya Hamada saw the image of a person sitting in front of the piano and playing with superb skills on her phone, her expression froze and she felt very complicated.
Even though she would never admit it, and even if she didn't show up for a day, she would insist that it couldn't be Kurosawa Hikaru.
But in fact, she knew that there was at least a 70% chance that it was Kurosawa Hikaru who was at zero o'clock.
Especially with this adapted piano piece, Flight of the Bumblebee, the possibilities are raised to another level.
"Why did your piano skills improve so quickly?"
Thinking of this possibility, when Mia Hamada saw the unparalleled piano skills, she felt more incredible than regretful.
During the review that day, Kurosawa Hikaru's piano skills in playing "Flight of the Bumblebee", although he was gifted and promising at a young age, were still a bit immature, giving her the feeling that he was just reading from a script.
In comparison, Lingshi's attainments and level in piano are so great that even when he plays a piano piece like "Croatian Rhapsody" which is not difficult, people who really know the subject can feel his superb piano skills.
Lingshi is worthy of the title of master, but the reputation of the God of Piano is too loud and his achievements are too few, so he has attracted public ridicule.
However, her performance at the Kawai Piano Competition at Tokyo Bunka Kaikan at midnight, with Liszt's "The Bells", completely solidified this title.
In fact, there are many people in this world who can play Liszt's "The Bells". Although it is a recognized difficult piano piece, many well-known pianists can play it after a long period of practice.
However, being able to play a piece of music does not mean that one can master it.
The so-called mastery means that for the same piano piece, the effects of performance by pianists of different levels will be very different.
Looking around the world, she couldn't even think of a second person who could control "The Clock" as completely as Zero Hour, with its impeccable integrity, smooth flow, magnificent artistry, and unparalleled emotion.
It is no exaggeration to say that Ling Shi's level, in her opinion, is that of a well-deserved piano master, a level that makes her unable to match and amazed by it.
Just like now, this song Flight of the Bumblebee makes her feel that even if the music score is given to her, the effect of her performance will definitely pale in comparison.
Just when she was distracted, her cell phone suddenly vibrated a few times and a message popped up.
That was a question raised by the company's board of directors, asking specific questions.
"Hamada Miya, do you have anything to say?"
If we say that the collaboration between Zero Hour and Runa Igarashi is a new song that has never been heard before, it can be said to be someone else.
But the appearance of "Flight of the Bumblebee" indicates a lot of things.
Regardless of whether Zero Hour is Kurosawa Hikaru or not, it is an indisputable fact that he has a strong relationship and connection with Kurosawa Hikaru.
Even if he is not Kurosawa Hikaru, he is very likely Kurosawa Hikaru's piano teacher.
With such a teacher, if Phantom Star Agency had signed Kurosawa Hikaru, his future would definitely be promising.
If this Zero Hour is really Kurosawa Hikaru, then Phantom Star Agency has missed an opportunity to take off and become the leader in the industry.
Mia Hamada knew the truth very well. Faced with this question, she already felt regretful, so she clicked into the group and typed a message.
"I will resign."
After taking a deep breath, Mia Hamada sent the message.
After sending this message, her arms suddenly went limp on the bed, and all the strength in her body seemed to be drained away.
She was well aware of the huge losses her arrogance and pride had brought to the company.
In fact, she already felt regret when Igarashi Runa chose to resign.
But what’s the use of regret? There is no medicine for regret in this world.
Even if she wanted to apologize and took action, Igarashi Runa would not accept her apology at all and had no intention of forgiving her.
"It would have been nice if I had listened to him play one more song. Why did I have to give him a warning?"
Thinking of what happened back then, Mia Hamada couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, she was very optimistic about Kurosawa Hikaru. After seeing him play "Flight of the Bumblebee", she was sure that he would become famous. She attached absolute importance to him and had high hopes for him. She even had the idea of cherishing his talent and planned to train him personally.
But the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. As a newcomer who has not yet debuted, Kurosawa Hikaru dared to put forward conditions to the company, even wasting his talents by becoming a masked artist to hide his handsome and good-looking appearance.
"He's not even famous yet. He doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is without being famous. If he becomes famous, won't he even ignore the company?"
With this idea in mind, she made a misjudgment and gave Kurosawa Mitsuru a warning by not signing him.
From a result-oriented perspective, the reason why Kurosawa Mitsuru dared to put forward such conditions was because he had absolute confidence in his own abilities.
"well."
Thinking of her original wrong judgment, Hamada Mia felt upset and had a feeling of depression in her chest.
…
At 1 a.m., a car drove out of the Lingshi Office and started its journey home.
"1.83 million views in one hour. It's incredible that a video released in the early morning can have such a response. If you continue on this upward trend, I feel that if you continue to develop for another year and premiere, it may even break the premiere record."
Igarashi Runa was driving, still very excited.
Perhaps this is not the most exaggerated data in the history of YouTube, but it is already very impressive that they have achieved such outstanding results just after their debut.
"Premiere record?"
When Kurosawa Mitsuru heard about this function, he became curious.
"Premiere is a function similar to live broadcast, which allows fans to join the channel half an hour in advance to watch the new video in a live broadcast. In the history of YouTube, the most exaggerated single premiere record is 1.54 million real-time viewers."
Igarashi Runa nodded slightly and explained while driving seriously.
"so much… "
When Kurosawa Mitsuru heard this number, he was a little shocked.
1.54 million, this is an exaggerated number... Although it can't be compared with the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala, it is already a very impressive number for a single.
"YouTube is the video website with the largest number of users in the world, with billions of viewers, and its traffic is incredible. Do you know how many views the single video with the highest number of views on the first day in the world had in 24 hours?"
Igarashi Runa nodded slightly and then asked.
"How many?"
"Would you like to take a guess?"
"30 million."
Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it. Although he reached 1.83 million views in just one hour, this was announced in advance after all. The growth rate of the number of views should decline in the future.
“Much more than that.”
"Sixty million?"
Hearing this, Kurosawa Mitsuru's heart skipped a beat and his money doubled.
“It’s still far more than that.”
Regarding this speculation, Igarashi Runa smiled and shook her head.
"One hundred million?"
It's far more terrifying than this, Kurosawa Mitsuru thought of a number and couldn't help but say.
"Yes, the number of views on the first day exceeded 100 million, ranking first in the world. The number of views accumulated over the past two years is now 1.6 billion. This is a record set by a national-level group in South Korea. Currently, in terms of the number of views of piano music alone, you broke the record for the highest number of views on the first day of a piano music in just one hour."
Seeing that he finally guessed it right, Igarashi Runa nodded slightly and explained.
After all, piano music is not pop music, so it does not receive enough attention.
"Such an exaggeration..."
Kurosawa Hikaru was shocked by the data, the traffic on YouTube, and the influence of the national group.
Although the number of views on YouTube, in terms of singles, is high, each user will accumulate a lot of views through repeated playback. But to achieve such data, the influence of that national-level group is absolutely phenomenal.
"Maybe their number of views is ridiculous, but you don't need to be discouraged, because you are on a different path. In particular, your ability to make money is simply terrifying, much better than those groups."
Igarashi Runa saw his expression and also laughed.
Just a video or a performance can attract a contract worth tens of billions.
Although the contract was not signed and it was not easy to get the money, it required two years of running around and hard work. It was also thanks to Kawai Piano's desire to gamble, but Kurosawa's potential was unquestionable.
