The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

Xiaoyue is not a novice who doesn't understand matters between men and women. Although she was single for more than 50 years in her previous life, she still had many people pursuing her.

At that time, she also thought about finding someone to spend the rest of her life with, but there were really few friends around her who were happily married, and most of them were breaking up and getting back together. From her friends' gossip, she felt that the distress was greater than the happiness, which made her completely give up the idea of ​​finding a partner.

Liu Wenjie is only twenty years old after all. Although he looks very steady, Xiaoyue feels that this requires the test of time. She can only leave it alone for now. Who knows, he might give up one day?

Xiaoyue put aside her emotional troubles for the time being and began to update her "Lou Zhongyue Fairy Tale Collection", two articles a day, without fail.

At the same time, Xiaoyue also updated "Shushan Swordsman" to the 41st chapter of the battle in Ciyun Temple: Love lingers on the famous mountain to collect herbs, Jing Yaoluo takes the girl to travel in the city. The story of the whole book begins, and many characters from both the good and evil sides appear one after another, leaving foreshadowing for suspense such as "Three Heroes and Two Clouds", "Purple and Green Double Swords", and "Three Emei Sword Fights".

In the June music website newcomer chart, someone suddenly discovered that a TV drama theme song that was released a few days late actually made it into the top ten, and it looks like it will continue to move forward.

Now the other arrangers who were originally in the top ten could no longer sit still.

Well, except Xiaoyue, the first three places are hers.

This is too much. It's okay that Yue's three new songs occupy the first three places. We can't compete with them. However, for a TV series theme song that was released a few days later to break into the top ten and get a piece of the pie is too much.

So they all checked the information of this dark horse, and they were all excited after seeing it.

"Little Lucky" was actually written by Yue. When did she write the theme song? No one knows.

Especially the arranger who ranked ninth, he felt a chill on his buttocks and had a panic as if he was going to be anally raped.

So, the ninth-ranked arranger contacted the eighth-ranked arranger to discuss countermeasures together.

"Brother, if I get anal sex, you will also be anal sex. What should I do?"

"Fuck, what can I do? Since I can't resist, I might as well lie down and enjoy it."

“You’re awesome!”

"Hey..., look at it more positively. In fact, we have already said in private that when we see Yue's song, we should not think about winning. Anyway, the top places are all hers, so we should just remove her from our minds. You see, I am ranked eighth, but in fact, in my heart, I am ranked fifth. If there is one more song of hers, I will still be fifth. There is no difference."

The arranger ranked ninth was stunned. Even this kind of self-hypnosis method was used?

But, you know what, thinking about it this way, I suddenly feel much better.

"Thank you. I'm still sixth. Nothing has changed."

"Hey, that's right! Why bother with that!"

Then some people who are not afraid of trouble said: "Where is your backbone? Why don't you know how to snipe?"

"How to snipe? Even the crappy plot of "Fireworks" can be boosted by this song "Little Luck", which shows how powerful the song is. We are all newcomers, what can we use to snipe? Just forget it and go to bed."

Now everyone was quiet.

Xinghui Entertainment, Gu Changhui has been very worried recently.

At home, his wife nags him all day long, saying that he doesn't support his son enough and that he is stingy and unwilling to give his son more resources. The problem is that his son Gu Jingxuan has no talent, no singing skills, and is basically a hopeless case.

However, in his wife's heart, her son is great and excellent, and it was all his fault because he did not give him a good song and did not do a good job of publicity.

Of course Gu Changhui was not convinced and wanted to argue with him, so his wife started fighting and scratched his face.

He regretted it. Home was not a place to reason. It was so depressing.

Unable to stay at home any longer, Gu Changhui came to the company with a Band-Aid on his face, and then faced a bunch of troubles again.

Just now, his assistant showed him the rankings of Xinghui's artists on the music website's new artist rankings. The best result was only 16th place. The problem was that the song ranked 16th was the work of an arranger that the company had given up on, while his favorite Gu Jingxuan had already slipped to outside the 30th place. And this was a good song by a first-class arranger who was used in secret. How shameful!

Just now, Gu Changhui felt that the look in the assistant's eyes when he showed him the ranking list was not right, and was obviously full of sarcasm.

Xinghui, this is not just Gu Changhui’s Xinghui. Let’s forget about this month. In order to support Gu Jingxuan, he had to fight for good resources against all odds and even made concessions on some of the company’s decisions. So what about the future?

Gu Changhui felt that he had lost his mind before. He must not listen to the woman at home anymore, even if she threatened him with divorce. Xinghui, founded by his parents, must not be destroyed in his hands.

The morning meeting was about to begin. Gu Changhui let out a long sigh, thinking that what was supposed to come would eventually come.

Xinghui's morning meeting started off very depressingly, with each department reporting on recent progress in various areas.

"Tianyu recently bought the copyright of Lou Zhongyue's work and is now planning to shoot a TV series. We at Xinghui also tried to contact Lou Zhongyue, but unfortunately the novel website ignored us. Otherwise, we at Xinghui could have bought the copyright."

"Our animation department is in the same situation as our film and television department. We haven't secured the copyright for Lou Zhongyue's Fairy Tales yet. It seems that Tianyu has established a connection with Lou Zhongyue. It will be difficult for us to get his works in the future. We are now trying to contact other writers to see if we can get their copyrights."

"There are some things I have been holding back for a long time." The head of the Artist Department said, "At the beginning of the year, our Artist Department was not much different from Tianyu, but now, there is a huge gap. Look at Tianyu, they have formed an internal artist group, and I heard that they have already started recording songs and are preparing for their official debut. In addition, their talent shows for China are also in full swing in various cities, and many outstanding people are participating in the talent shows. After this kind of talent show, there will be more outstanding artists entering Tianyu, and what will be left for us will be the remaining rotten shrimps, which will seriously affect our source of artists in the next few years. Look at Tianyu's outstanding artists in recent months. There is also an endless stream of them. Just look at Yue's songs, almost one song can make an artist famous. Now, major companies When there are performances, the first thing we consider is the artists that Tianyu has recently developed. Their artists are overwhelmed with announcements every day, while our artists have become substitutes. The artists have already complained several times about this gap. This is just a matter for singing artists. The actors in the film and television department are also getting restless. When they heard that Tianyu was going to film Lou Zhongyue’s work recently, they originally wanted to participate in the casting, but Tianyu directly rejected them, while the actors from Qixing were able to participate in the casting, which was very frustrating. Even the lowest-level actors are in the same situation. Tianyu’s low-budget movies have given low-level actors a way to survive, but our company’s actors have no way to survive. If we can’t reverse this situation, our artist department will face the risk of losing a large number of artists.”

Gu Changhui sighed. Tianyu is developing so well in all aspects now. This really needs careful planning.

The head of the planning department said, "Originally, Xinghui could have tried to audition and form a group. Forming a group is easier, but audition is impossible. Tianyu has already registered the copyright. If we want to proceed, we have to spend money to buy the copyright from Tianyu. It's possible to form a group, but where will the songs come from? I heard that Yue is the one who wrote all the songs for the group on Tianyu. The quality of the songs that have been recorded is very good, and even the first-class arrangers can't write them. If the song fathers in our company are willing to write songs for the group members, it may be possible to save some of the music market. But the song fathers only have a few songs a year, and they are all booked in advance by the kings and queens of singing. This road can't go on. Regarding the TV series, our planning department is actually very optimistic about Lou Zhongyue's works, especially his "Swordsman of Shushan" which has not yet been completed. We don't need to wait until it is completed before trying to contact Lou Zhongyue. As long as we work hard, we will always contact him and get the copyright at a high price. This can be done while Lou Zhongyue writes and we shoot it. Wouldn't this solve the problems of film and television and actors?"

"As for the arranger, we at Xinghui can go to various major music universities to recruit again. We can cast a wide net and maybe we can meet a talented arranger like Yue."

Everyone present was silent. What the director of the planning department said was the only way out for Xinghui, but every idea required a lot of financial support. This was also the biggest difference between Tianyu and Xinghui. Tianyu had a deep foundation and no shortage of funds, while Xinghui had been working hard to develop in recent years and had invested a lot of money. It had indeed achieved rapid development, but it was already heavily in debt with the bank.

Seeing that no one was talking, the head of the planning department continued, "There is actually another way. Why should we engage in such vicious competition with Tianyu? In fact, to be honest, there is no particular hatred between our two companies. It is just normal market competition. The Chinese entertainment market is huge. We can definitely carry out in-depth cooperation and healthy competition. Look at Qixing. They have cooperated with Tianyu, which shows that Tianyu does not mind cooperating with others."

"Yes, I also agree with this method." The Minister of Finance spoke first. A good cook cannot cook without rice. Those ideas were too expensive. This one was not bad. At least it would not aggravate the economic crisis.

Then almost everyone present agreed with this approach, except Gu Changhui who sat there without saying anything.

In the end, everyone stopped talking and just looked at Gu Changhui.

Gu Changhui felt that he was the most incompetent president of Xinghui. He made an indelible contribution to the company's development to its current scale, but a large number of problems also broke out.

If Star Shine continues to compete head-on with Tianyu, it is possible that it will go bankrupt in a few years.

If he cooperates with Tianyu, it will be Gu Changhui who will lose face.

Is face more important, or is the company more important? Obviously, the company is more important.

Gu Changhui sighed and said, "I also agree with the planning director's opinion."

"Since you want to cooperate, you must have a plan yourself. Director of the Planning Department, I'll leave this to you. All departments must stop all hostile behavior towards Tianyu and send out appropriate friendly signals. The meeting is adjourned."

Everyone in the department left happily, except Gu Changhui, who was sitting there wanting to cry.

This reminded him of Wei Moyao from Qixing. Although that boy was young, he was more insightful than an old hand like him.

Alas, I used to laugh at him in private, I feel so ashamed.

Xiaoyue has been very busy this week. Not only did she work overtime on the weekend to finish recording Beyondboy's "Youth Training Manual", but in the new week she also completed recording Black Panther's "Life in Bloom", Sandra Wong's "The First Person I Love", and Xiao Ruyuan's "I Can't Stop Loving You".

This efficiency simply dazzled everyone in the arrangement department, not to mention the second-level and third-level arrangers, even composer Liang Qingping and Liu Demao were full of admiration.

They both sighed, the waves in front pushed the waves behind, and the waves behind died on the beach, so why didn't they fight with Liu Xinran in the first place?

It’s a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, otherwise they would have to buy two bottles.

Now, Liu Xinran always has an advantage over the two of them during meetings in the arrangement department, but they can't say anything.

So, when Xiaoyue took the six songs she had recently recorded to the review and distribution department for review, Dong Chunhui greeted her in person and summoned all the reviewers to listen together.

In fact, Dong Chunhui would rather Xiaoyue send it to him directly, so that he could take it to the 18th floor to share it with the president and deepen their relationship.

This was the first time that the people in the review and issuance department met Xiaoyue. Although Xiaoyue was wearing a mask, her peach blossom eyes were sparkling. She was definitely a beauty.

In fact, Xiaoyue originally wanted to just leave after sending it, but she couldn't resist Dong Chunhui's favor. However, it would take less than half an hour to listen to six songs, so she reluctantly sat down with him and listened.

The first song played was "Want to Sing Me to You", which was originally a duet between a man and a woman, but Xiaoyue adapted it into a solo performance and made some adjustments to the lyrics, turning it into a love confession song, in which a man expressed his beautiful feelings for his significant other.

The music is a typical folk song, which can easily evoke the listener's fond memories of school. In addition, the lyrics are exquisite, the rhythm is steady, and the melody is beautiful and peaceful, expressing sincere emotions, making the listener believe in the beauty and stability of love.

After listening to it, Dong Chunhui thought of his campus love with his wife, which was also so sincere, beautiful and stable. Now he has a wonderful family. He likes the resonance very much. He has already thought about playing it a few more times on the speakers at home. He believes that his wife will understand his feelings, hehe...

Xiaoyue saw that the song was over and everyone was silent, even Dong Chunhui was silent, but why did the smile on his face look a bit obscene?

"Minister Dong, what do you think of this song?"

Xiaoyue's question interrupted the unhealthy thoughts in Dong Chunhui's mind. He couldn't help blushing and coughed lightly, saying, "This song is very good. From the arrangement to the singing, it is full of pure and romantic atmosphere, which makes this song quite enjoyable to listen to. In the melody of the song, we seem to be able to feel the young heartbeat and the passionate youthful atmosphere, which makes people recall the happy times spent with friends, the days of chasing dreams, and the nights of fighting for dreams."

Then there was a round of applause, and everyone in the Audit and Issuance Department expressed their approval of the minister's appreciation.

"Thank you for your recognition. Let's listen to the next song." Xiaoyue asked someone to continue playing "Life in Bloom".

As soon as the music started, the style was completely different from the previous one.

"Is this a rock song?" Dong Chunhui asked in surprise.

"Yes."

The song has a catchy melody and the lyrics are grand and mature. The whole song conveys a positive attitude towards life and a firm belief in pursuing dreams, which resonated with everyone present.

"Another great song. This song "Life in Bloom" starts with a weak rhythm and gradually transitions to a high-pitched chorus. This change in melody not only enhances the appeal of the song, but also better expresses the emotions contained in the lyrics. At the climax of the song, the melody instantly rises and the rhythm is strong, giving people a shock and power, making people feel the power of life and the passion of blooming. God Yue, another masterpiece!"

“Yes, this song is so good, it makes me feel powerful.”

Everyone agreed, and Xiaoyue blushed a little because of the praise.

"Let's continue listening to the song."

"Don't Want to Grow Up" was also sung very well by the three girls, especially the unique tongue twister and hip-hop style, which also won unanimous recognition from everyone.

"Youth Training Manual" is different from other songs. This song is played on a big screen because it is a dance MV.

The three teenagers' dance combined with their singing amazed the reviewers.

"Oh, this is the effect of forming a group. The cooperation of these three children is definitely not one plus one plus one equals three, but it is greater than three. I've learned something new." This was the first time that Dong Chunhui saw that kind of dance performed by a group, and he found it even more novel.

"Oh my God, these three kids are so cute. They definitely touch the heart of an old mother like me. I'm such a fan of them." said a female reviewer, covering her heart.

"I, a grown man, still think it's cute. At least it guarantees that I'll be popular with the public."

"God Yue is so powerful!"

"Thank you for the compliment. I still have two songs to listen to."

Xiaoyue was a little restless, and this kind of praise in person made her blush.

Dong Chunhui smiled and said, "Okay, okay, if you keep praising me, Yue Shen will run away. Let's continue listening to the song."

Everyone covered their mouths and chuckled.

It has to be said that Sandra Wong’s sweet singing and dancing style in “The First Person I Loved” really touched the softest part of men’s hearts, and even Dong Chunhui was not spared.

"Oh, if my daughter were this cute, I wouldn't want her to get married in the future."

"Minister, if your daughter is really that cute, I can try to give birth to a son now.
