I'm busking on the streets with my kid, and my domineering CEO is helping me break into the mus

Feng Xin mistakenly believed that Yang Xue's smile contained sarcasm and displeasure.

It would be better to take the initiative to show goodwill and quell the other party's anger.

"Mr. Yang... if you feel you've been cheated."

"How about we split the subsequent profits from the music 50/50?"

"I know I have offended you, but please give me a chance to make amends."

“I’ve already received the money from the fans’ pre-orders, but my musical talent is really not as good as yours, and I don’t want to mess things up.”

After finishing her sentence, Feng Xin hurriedly took a sip of wine. In order to facilitate cooperation with the other party, she had exhausted all her current resources.

"Yang Xue is exceptionally talented and has the backing of the CEO of Tiancheng. Even General Manager Sun Yue has to be her apprentice's driver, so as long as we get in touch with her, everything is worthwhile."

Feng Xin likened herself to a venture capitalist, and she made no secret of her desire to return to that stage and shine.

But Zhuang Siyu didn't understand her boss's thoughts and was so anxious that she secretly stomped her feet.

"Oh dear! The boss is so foolish!"

"How can you talk like that!"

"If you hand over all your commercial content to them, won't they have you completely under their control afterwards...!"

Silence fell again, and the hearts of the two people opposite them pounded.

But Yang Xue naturally picked up food and ate it, seemingly unaffected.

The more she acted this way, the more nervous the other person became.

In fact, Yang Xue was also weighing the pros and cons: was she losing money by selling a song for 30 yuan?

"If I choose greed in this matter, it will inevitably affect future cooperation."

"Since Feng Xin is a talented person, investing in her is a more long-term investment."

Thinking of this, Yang Xue put down her chopsticks, smiled, and replied:

"Heh, I didn't expect you to be so honest."

"Just because of this honesty, it would be very petty of me to bully you."

Both of them were stunned by Yang Xue's answer.

Yang Xue picked up a piece of vegetable, chewed it slowly, and said in a calm and unhurried tone:

"Don't worry, I won't take a single penny from you."

"We're all just trying to make a living, and everyone has to rely on their own abilities to earn money."

"I've sold you the song, that's fine. How you manage it afterwards is your problem."

Yang Xue's open-mindedness surprised the two of them, but Feng Xin was still uneasy.

Is she really that kind...?

Yang Xue noticed the distrust in the other person's eyes and inwardly complained:

"Damn, this guy is just a jerk."

"You just don't feel comfortable unless I take advantage of you a little, right?"

"Fine, since you insist on letting me take advantage of you, I'll do as you say."

Seeing this, Yang Xue added:

"But I have an additional condition."

After Yang Xue finished speaking, Feng Xin and Zhuang Siyu's expressions visibly improved.

"For any song I sell to you, the right to create derivative works and covers must be open to our company's broadcasters."

Even so, Yang Xue didn't offer any unreasonable conditions.

After listening, Feng Xin nodded in agreement with gratitude in her eyes.

Yang Xue suddenly changed the subject and asked:

"Miss Feng, but I'd like to know, is a good ranking in this competition enough to satisfy you?"

After listening for a moment in silence, Feng Xin said frankly:

"To be honest, I didn't go there for the rankings."

"If I perform well enough, I can use this competition to generate a lot of new buzz and regain my peak popularity."

"Of course, this is thanks to the opportunity you gave me with your two songs."

"With the help of your song and our team's operations, I'm confident I can make a big bet this time!"

Feng Xin's thinking is very clear, somewhat similar to Tiancheng's approach to creating Yang Xue's persona.

In the entertainment industry, there are only a few ways to become famous.

Either you are powerful enough, with capital, background, and influence.

Either you are charismatic enough, popular enough, have fans, and have sponsors.

The third option is that you have enough trending topics and buzz.

The story of impoverished migrant workers pursuing their dreams in the entertainment industry is a topic in itself.

Through tireless efforts, an ordinary person attracts widespread social attention and ultimately achieves success.

Whether the story is true or not, his success is a "deserved outcome".

Therefore, in order to lay the foundation for victory, minor characters usually resort to suffering as a routine tactic.

They portray their parents as extremely miserable and themselves as having endured immense hardship, thus evoking sympathy from the audience and satisfying their emotional needs.

The topic Feng Xin created was equally clear: a washed-up star returning to the music scene to compete with newcomers; the song was good, but he was simply born at the wrong time.

Although she cannot fight against capital, she can create a win-win outcome.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xue immediately thought of the Taobao persona collapse incident in her previous life.

The phenomenon of deliberately creating contradictions in certain forms.

I couldn't help but sigh at the reality of the entertainment industry.

"Ha, most of them are just scripts."

"The production team will act out whatever the audience wants to see..."

"If there's a topic, we'll act it out; if there isn't, we'll create one and act it out."

But Yang Xue's mind was clearly not on that.

Thinking of this, she suddenly asked:

"Has Miss Feng ever considered competing for the championship?"

"I can try to help you do that."

"However, additional compensation is required."

Hearing Yang Xue say that, Feng Xin was stunned for a moment.

"This...this can't be possible."

“Even with your background, teacher, I’m afraid you couldn’t have done that.”

As Feng Xin spoke, a bitter expression appeared on her face.

"Money and power are certainly boosters to fame, but they are not absolute."

"Take the show 'The God of Songs' for example... No matter how strong your ability is, you can only get third or second place at most."

"As for the championship... no matter who you are or how strong you are, you can never win it, unless..."

"Unless what?"

Yang Xue asked curiously.

"Unless you are someone supported by the Shen family and work for them..."

At this point, Feng Xin picked up her wine glass with a hint of reluctance and took a sip.

"The Shen family..."

Upon hearing this surname, Yang Xue suddenly thought of the most popular star today, who is hailed as the "world's strongest singing god".

Feng Xin was defeated by the other party through underhanded tactics back then.

With this conjecture in mind, Yang Xue immediately asked:

"Is that Shen Shiyu a member of the Shen family?"

Feng Xin suddenly clenched her fists, her eyes widening in anger, but quickly deflated like a punctured balloon.

"She is the eldest daughter of the Shen family, and now the president of Crimson Entertainment Alliance."

"Her company produces half of the music-related entertainment programs in the entertainment industry."

“Every year, the champions of major competitions are basically from the Shenyang system. No matter how hard you try, you have no chance.”

"Shen Shiyu's background is indeed impressive, so my decision this time was perfectly sound."

Feng Xin's dejected appearance confirmed some of Yang Xue's previous guesses.

She asked again:

"If I said I had a chance to win the championship, would you like to snatch it from the jaws of defeat?"

"Snatching food from a tiger's mouth?"

"Her use of the adjective 'seize' indicates that it was not a conventional method."

"But if the decision-making power is in someone else's hands, how can we take it back...?"

Feng Xin sensed that Yang Xue's words had a hidden meaning, but she didn't know what she was up to.

Seeing the other person's blank expression, Yang Xue continued:

"I have my own methods, which might help you manage to win a championship."

"The question is, what kind of compensation are you going to pay for this championship?"
