The following day, the album was officially released and long queues formed outside major audio stores as people rushed to buy Wang Fei's album.

The price of the tape quickly climbed to twelve yuan, but sales remained hot.

On the same day, CCTV broadcast the MV of the album's title song, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the entire market.

Channel dealers placed orders frantically, and the 200,000 tapes produced by the factory working overtime were sold out in one day. Market demand far exceeded supply, and the number of pre-orders exceeded 500,000 in just a few days.

All this happened within just five days of the album’s release.

Citizens went crazy for it, and CCTV was also shocked. Not only did the album break sales records, its popularity even surpassed the most popular star works at the time.

A new diva was born.

In fact, this success is inseparable from the support of multiple factors: the attention brought by the Spring Festival Gala, the strong communication power of CCTV and the three highly innovative main songs.

In this music storm, Zhou Qi earned a staggering 8.4 million RMB from album revenue alone.

To thank CCTV for its help, he generously offered a 10% higher share of profits than local TV stations - %.

At the same time, when the outside world was excited about this album, Wang Fei seemed particularly calm.

She returned to her hometown, Chunshi, and sat in the lobby of Reno, playing mahjong leisurely.

"Are you letting me win on purpose? You dare to even play 90,000?" Wang Fei cursed with a smile, slammed the cards in his hand on the table, and stretched out his hand to Zhou Qi: "Brother Qi, give me the money."

Zhou Qi smiled and threw a stack of bills on the table, saying, "Count them yourself and return them to me after you confirm they are correct."

Some people in the room were playing cards, some were playing poker, but most people's attention was focused on Zhou Qi and Wang Fei.

Zhou Qi is a legendary songwriter, while Wang Fei is a currently popular singer who may become a queen-level figure in the future.

Now, they are playing mahjong comfortably like ordinary people.

This scene was like a dream.

Today is the first company team-building activity organized by Zhou Qi.

Everyone gathered in the company, chatting, playing cards, and eating hot pot together. There were no red tape, only laughter.

Recently, Shi Feijie has recruited some talents, and Shi Yifei has also used her connections to recruit a number of creators, producers and planners.

The company's team quickly expanded from a dozen people to thirty-seven people.

Now that everyone has joined this group, we naturally need to get familiar with each other as soon as possible.

And I had promised Wang Fei to play mahjong, so this gathering came about.

Zhou Qi also brought his girlfriend Lin Ruixue.

For Lin Ruixue, this place is like another world.

It was especially special to see Spring Festival Gala star Wang Fei playing mahjong so casually and freely.

It was as if a distant superstar suddenly became so ordinary and approachable.

What’s even more interesting is that the background music is from Wang Fei’s new album “Spinning Wood”.

“This song is truly a masterpiece.”

"Guess how long it took Mr. Zhou to create this song?"

"It will take at least a week." Several new creators chatted while playing cards.

As creators, they naturally admire Zhou Qi, which is one of the reasons why they decided to join the Pinliang team.

Zhou Qi smiled when he heard this.

Wang Fei said: "It only took half a cigarette."

Half a cigarette?

These words made the whole room suddenly quiet, and everyone looked at Zhou Qi with disbelief.

Before this, no one knew when this song was created, not even Shi Feijie, because only Wang Fei and Zhou Qi were present when the lyrics were written.

"Are you kidding me? How is it possible to do this in half a cigarette's time?" someone questioned. Even for a genius, this was too incredible.

"I mean half a cigarette... two songs, the other one is the one you are listening to now... I do." Wang Fei's words were like a bombshell, stunning everyone present.

She smiled at Zhou Qi and said softly, "I know what you are capable of. Why don't you improvise a song based on the theme of mahjong? I'll give you a hu. This is a big hu."

In an instant, all eyes were focused on Zhou Qi.

Wang Fei actually gave Mr. Zhou such a difficult problem.

Can he catch it?

I'm afraid not.

I might be able to get by with just writing a random song, but the theme of mahjong is just too tricky!

Shi Feijie glanced at Zhou Qi, threw out a Dongfeng card, and interrupted, "Playing mahjong without letting people take a break, this is not good."

His tone was gentle, but he felt in his heart that Wang Fei was really going a bit too far.

This is the first team gathering and many new members have just integrated. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for Mr. Zhou to do this?

If Zhou Qi really can't write anything good, where would he put his face?

However, Wang Fei was not deliberately provoking, but truly believed in Zhou Qi's strength.

She couldn't stand those questioning voices and wanted to use this opportunity to prove herself to everyone.

Facing all this, Zhou Qi just smiled faintly and waved his hand to Shi Feijie, saying it was okay. Then he turned to the crowd and suggested: "If you are interested, how about improvising together?"

As soon as the voice fell, the creators expressed their concerns:

"Mr. Zhou, this question is too difficult."

"That's right, the subject of mahjong is really hard to grasp, I have no idea at all..."

"Mr. Zhou, do you have an idea? If you can really complete it on the spot, we will worship you as a god."

"This is simply impossible. If it were possible, I would be willing to not receive any salary for a year."

Although there was respect in their words, the meaning was clear: they simply did not believe that anyone could accomplish such a difficult task in a short period of time.

At this moment, Shi Yifei interrupted their discussion without any hesitation, "Stop making trouble and be quiet."

After saying that, he played a two-tube card and glared at Wang Fei in dissatisfaction. The scene immediately became silent.

The expression on Zhou Qi's face revealed his thoughts. Who would have thought that such a young man could create so many hit songs?

Even if he had started learning music since birth, it would be almost impossible for him to write so many good songs in such a short time.

Everyone knows that this kind of name-dropping is not uncommon in the circle.

Maybe the boss Zhou Qi just spent money to buy other people's works and then signed his own name on them.

Now that they are unwilling to even provide an explanation, it makes people even more suspicious.

It's ironic that he can't write himself, but instead he belittles others. This mentality is actually quite common.

Facing these doubts, Zhou Qi just smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter, just treat it as a game."

He knew what these people were thinking, but although they said they were convinced, they might not really believe it in their hearts.

After all, creators all have a bit of pride.
