Entertainment: Starting with a Song of Rice Fragrance

"This song is of quite good quality."

It took Zhao Lu a long time to recover from the shock of the song after listening to it.

You should know that the popular music in the West is dominated by those sad love songs that say "I love you so much, but you don't love me."

They either try to learn the musical styles of other continents, but they can never quite replicate them.

Among the five continents, its performance was the worst.

People had long been fed up with this outdated style of music, and were previously limited to traditional channels such as CDs and cassettes, making it difficult to obtain music from other continents.

But now with the rise of the internet, information flows almost completely freely across continents.

As a result, music from other states flooded into the West Asian market, overwhelming the local music scene.

Currently, major record companies in the West are eager to discover some unique composers and lyricists with exceptional talent and skills, who can significantly raise the overall music level of the continent and prevent it from becoming something despised by other continents.

Feiyang Entertainment is the same; they spend tens of millions of yuan every year searching for new talent, hoping to find a genius who can completely purify the music of the week.

But over the years, not only have these three giants failed to achieve their goals, but hundreds of music companies of all sizes throughout the state have also remained stagnant, unable to escape this vicious cycle of being both backward and unable to evolve.

But now...

Zhao Lu forced down her shock and anticipation, and slightly adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses that had slipped down her nose.

"I can rate this song from B to A, but the specific analysis and rating need to be reported to the company."

"Sure, I'm fine with it."

Zheng Ning shrugged indifferently.

"Are you giving this song away, or are you going to sing it yourself?"

Although she already knew there wouldn't be a second answer, Zhao Lu still asked as a formality.

"Of course I'll sing it myself."

Just kidding, how could Zheng Ning possibly let go of such a great song? This is the perfect opportunity for him to gain fame and fortune and make a big splash.

How could we possibly give such a great song about Earth to other singers?

"Okay, then I'll submit this song. Send me the sheet music and lyrics as well. I expect to get a detailed evaluation and have the song added to the library within a week."

Zhao Lu snapped her fingers and gestured with her chin toward her assistant, Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang immediately understood and carried out his instructions, starting to coordinate with the company.

"Although you haven't officially joined our composition department yet, this song is still considered one of your achievements, and I will make sure to acknowledge that."

After all, it was something I discovered myself, and its potential was so enormous it was almost terrifying.

Zhao Lu would naturally not let him have any complaints, and would do everything he was supposed to do perfectly. This was also his experience as a senior agent over the years.

You should know that Xinghai Entertainment had already tried to poach him.

If I treat him badly, and the other party and Guangmang Entertainment find out that I have signed a contract with him, they might try to poach him again, and I might not be able to keep him.

"I suggest you save this song for January next year to perform and release."

She raised the cassette tape in her hand and solemnly spoke to Zheng Ning, who was trying to contain her joy.

"Huh? Isn't it supposed to be released this month? I was thinking I could still try for the top rookie ranking. If the company gives me enough resources, I might even be able to break into the top 100 or even the top 50..."

Zheng Ning paused for a moment, then asked with some confusion.

"Yes, if we try to make it this month, given the quality of this song, it's not a question of whether it will make the top 100, it will definitely break into the top 50."

"But Zheng Ning, have you considered that it's a bit of a waste to put such a good song here, relegated to the lowest position?"

Zhao Lu walked back to her computer desk, turned the screen around, and faced him.

"Feixing Music Network is not satisfied with just being the champion of the newcomer chart this time."

"They have huge appetites; they want to monopolize the entire online music charts in the West Continent in the future."

Zheng Ning looked over and, sure enough, saw the internal message issued by the company's senior management on the screen.

"Flying Star Group is a large, multi-state conglomerate, and the entertainment industry is just a small branch that they have recently developed."

"But even this small branch is an unstoppable behemoth in front of our Western Continent entertainment company."

"They will create a new monthly song chart next year."

"It's an online chart with real-time data, like this year's newcomer champion chart. Unlike previous years where major record companies and entertainment companies had to release their own data, and then some reputable public media outlets would compile and compile the charts at the end of each year."

"Oh? Doesn't that mean the competition for singers every month will be incredibly fierce?"

Zheng Ning was also very shocked when he saw the news in the internal documents.

After all, Xizhou has only recently transitioned from traditional media to online media, and it will take some time for practitioners in the physical record industry and listeners, that is, fans, to fully accept this.

But that's how times progress. In the internet age, things are vast and unstoppable; those who follow the trend prosper, and those who oppose it perish.

"In fact, we three giants have communicated to see whether to resist his online ranking and still use our previous ranking method."

"But the ultimate conclusion is that the tide of the times cannot be stopped, and we can only embrace change."

"So I suggest you release this song on January 1st next year and try to break into the first-ever online new song chart."

"If you can get a good ranking, then you can really occupy a very good position at the beginning of this great era of the Internet, and then everything will go smoothly from now on."

"Is that so? It's on the online new song charts..."

Zheng Ning bit her nails and pondered for a moment.

"And it's not just a monthly chart for new songs."

"They will also be launching a major annual hits chart next December! It will be an online chart with real-time data. Monthly sales records will be totaled, and the final tally will be released on the last day to determine the song and artist with the most downloads of the year, crowning them the champion!"

"To be honest, every entertainment company in Xizhou is starting to get restless right now; they're all eyeing this year's top hit song chart!"

"Xiao Ning, you must be interested in giving it a try, right? After all, I've rarely seen talent like yours in over ten years as an agent. I have a lot of confidence in you!"

As she said this, Zhao Lu's eyes, behind her thin glasses, revealed an ambitious glint.
