Chapter 83, The defeat was not unjust! (Please subscribe)

A high-end apartment.

Tang Junxiang was already in bed after taking a shower.

Suddenly, Du Yue, the operations director, called.

"Director Du, what's the matter so late?"

"It's all because of Zhang Xian. Public opinion has completely reversed, and they've even dug up information about Rongshu Entertainment. Now netizens are saying that Rongshu Entertainment is deliberately smearing us in retaliation. Of course, Xianyu Music has also played a part in pushing this forward."

Du Yue sounded anxious on the phone.

"Has public opinion reversed?"

Tang Junxiang was a little confused. He remembered that after he left the field, he had stabilized the situation and even had the advantage on their side.

After all, given his established reputation, his words are generally accepted by netizens, especially his statement that AI-generated content lacks soul, which has garnered a lot of support.

As it turns out, he just came back and spent some time with his mistress, then took a shower, and the public opinion reversed?

"Zhang Xian wrote a song, which was chosen by Kong Sanmin as the theme song for his new drama. Kong Sanmin just released the trailer for the new drama, and the theme song has become a hit!"

"Director Tang, you're a professional. Go listen to that song and see from which angle you can refute it so that our operations team can come up with the copy tomorrow."

"Before you got involved, no one associated this with our company, but now the situation is different. Netizens are targeting Rongshu Entertainment, and President Yu just called me and gave me a piece of his mind."

If she hadn't been scolded, Du Yue wouldn't have called Tang Junxiang in the middle of the night.

Although she didn't complain about Tang Junxiang's rash entry into the scene, her words still revealed a hint of blame. However, Tang Junxiang was a veteran in the music industry and a famous musician, so she could only complain in a low voice.

After all, even President Yu Kai wouldn't call Tang Junxiang in the middle of the night to hold him accountable.

"Well, I see."

Tang Junxiang could easily understand the meaning behind Du Yue's words. He responded and hung up the phone.

He then immediately went online and found the TV series trailer posted by Kong Sanmin. To his surprise, the number of likes for the TV series trailer had exceeded one million.

Absolutely outrageous!

The main issue is that the trailer hasn't been released for very long, and it's still in the process of generating buzz.

He wasn't in the mood to look at the trailer's data; instead, he focused on listening to the music.

Once, twice, three times.
Tang Junxiang was increasingly shocked as he listened. The first time he listened, he was trying to find fault with the content, but he forgot about it after listening to it.

By the second time, he was completely appreciative. His peak creative period was a decade or two ago, when the music scene was not like it is now. Musicians were dedicated to making music and thinking about how to create masterpieces. Musicians also had their own personalities and persistence. They would say what they wanted and what they needed, instead of blindly catering to certain groups.

Such persistence and dedication have resulted in a series of classic songs that have remained popular for over a decade or two, and those years are hailed as the golden age of the music scene.

Looking at the music scene today, most musicians are thinking about how to grab attention, how to piece things together, and how to create so-called "hit songs." There are fewer and fewer people who are willing to focus on creating music.

So when Tang Junxiang listened to "Ordinary Man's Song" for the second time, he was filled with endless emotions. He saw the shadow of the golden age of the music scene in this song.

By the third time, Tang Junxiang was completely captivated by the song. As an old man who has experienced the ups and downs of life, he felt a strong sense of immersion when listening to this song.

You could even say you empathize with him. Don't be fooled by his fame as a musician and his seemingly glamorous life; just like the lyrics say, he is a different person.

When have we ever seen the world change for the sake of people?

Even if you hold a high position and enjoy all the riches and honors, so what? The world will not change even a little bit because of you!
Years later, you will still turn into a handful of yellow sand and merge into the world.

"Old Tang, is this song really that good?"

Seeing Tang Junxiang listening to the same song over and over again, his young lover lying next to him grew impatient. She was only in her early twenties and didn't understand the song at all, finding it boring.

The melody was unremarkable, and the singing was just so-so; there was nothing special about it.

"You know nothing!"

Tang Junxiang retorted to his mistress.

You can doubt Tang Junxiang's character, but you can't question his professional ability. After all, he's a musician who came from the golden age of the music scene, so he still has professional qualities.

This loss is not unjust.

It seems like Xianyu Music is really about to take off!

Chen Huan is very likely to win his gamble!
Tang Junxiang turned off his phone and decided to give up the fight. As for the online opinions, that was the operations department's business.

The next day.

Zhang Xian still slept until he naturally woke up.

He glanced at the time; it was 10:05. He had slept for almost ten hours.

It just goes to show that young people have too much sleep.

As expected, the father's voice arrived, and today's income exceeded ten million again.

Chu Yourong was still the main source of income.

Although "Ordinary People's Song" has become popular, the official version has not yet been released. Netizens are currently listening to this song in the trailer for "Golden Years".

However, it will be launched today. Dad went to the company early in the morning. When he left, he sent Zhang Xian a WeChat message saying that he wanted to take photos. Chen Huan thought that he could make an EP for "Ordinary People's Song" and have Zhang Dongshan take some photos for the cover and promotion.

In any case, Zhang Xian didn't care about work and didn't bother with it at all.

"Second sister, are you leaving again?"

While having breakfast, Zhang Xian saw Zhang Shengnan packing her luggage again.

"Director Kong's 'Beautiful Rivers and Mountains' is about to start filming, and he gave me the role of a maidservant to the female lead. Although I don't have many lines, I have a lot of screen time."

Kong Sanmin gave her a role with much more screen time than the roles she had played before. Although she didn't have many lines, she had a high screen time because she was someone close to the female lead, which allowed her to get a lot of screen time.

"Alright, second sister, you can do it!"

Zhang Xian didn't say much. The sisters all had their own careers, so he just lay back, which was fine.

Had breakfast.

Zhang Xian hummed a little tune as he left home. He had arranged to go fishing with Hua Zixian and teach her some fishing techniques.

You can't break a promise.

Zhang Xian was already several hours late, and Hua Zixian sent him a WeChat message and her location around 6:00 AM.

Older people need less sleep.

He can't do that. He's a young man in the prime of his life, still growing, and he needs to get enough sleep.

"Xiaoxian, off fishing again?"

Zhang Xian just stepped out of his courtyard when he met Pang Fei, who had combed his hair like an adult and was carrying a briefcase.

"Good morning, Fei-ge!"

"It's still early, I'm already back from my interview!"

Pang Fei shook his head, his eyes filled with envy as he looked at Zhang Xian. They were brothers from the same alley, and even the "Three Heroes of Six Alleys".

The results were completely different. He was overwhelmed with work every day, while Zhang Xian spent his days fishing and dating. His life was incredibly comfortable.

Putting Zhang Xian aside, he can't even compare to Liu Dongxu now. Liu Dongxu has found a job with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, while he still doesn't have a job.

"So, do you have any suitable jobs?"

Zhang Xian asked casually.

"Xiaoxian, you don't know how hard it is to find a job these days."

"Take today's interviewees for example. There were several graduates from top-tier universities like 985 and 211, and two master's degree holders."

"A job that pays over ten thousand a month, is it really necessary to work this hard?"

When talking about work, Pang Fei had a lot of complaints: "And another thing, if I keep lying at home, my dad is afraid he'll kick me out of the house. Lately, he's been getting more and more annoyed with me."

"Ugh, I can't stay at home anymore!"

After saying that, Pang Fei sighed bitterly.

"Brother Fei, why don't you drive for a ride-hailing service as a temporary measure? Go for interviews when you have them, and drive for ride-hailing services when you don't. You can not only make money, but you'll also have something to do."

Zhang Xian couldn't bear to see his brother so distressed, so he immediately gave him an idea.

"You want me to drive for a ride-hailing service?"

"What a joke!"

Pang Fei shook his head vigorously. How could a top student like him, a graduate of a prestigious 211 university, become a ride-hailing driver?

How could Kong Yiji just take off his long gown like that!
