"Teacher," Monica and the blonde woman beside her walked to the table in the corner and sat down. "Where's Aovina? She hasn't come yet, has she?"
"No," the blonde woman shook her head. "She's still eating in the car! She thinks she's eating dumplings. She loves them and says they're much better than the ones she made at the Huaxia restaurant in Los Angeles."
"Dumplings are delicious." Monica was unaware that a pair of greedy eyes were staring at her from above. "I do have a friend who's very knowledgeable about this. If Aovina needs it, she can make a guide."
"The friend you're talking about is also from that group, right, Moonlight Girl?" The blonde woman took out a lollipop from her pocket and put it in her mouth.
"Well, all four of them are very nice," Monica smiled unconsciously, "They're very nice to me too."
"I remember you told me before that you'd become a leader of the new generation after returning home." The blonde woman's tone was a bit harsh, and there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes as she looked at Monica. "I didn't expect you to think so highly of them and even become friends with them. Monica, where are your ambitions and fighting spirit back then?"
"Teacher," Monica lowered her head and shook the cup, not knowing how to explain, "I never gave up. But I know that they, especially Wang Xingrui, are truly more talented than me. You know, before, it was others who were intimidated by my talent. But now it's my turn. I can only watch her from afar, and the distance between us grows ever larger."
"Never mind!" the blonde woman interrupted Monica. "If your talent can so easily dominate the Chinese music scene, then the music of this country isn't worth our attention. Their band is trending well, and I've listened to their songs. Their production is quite avant-garde. But you should also know that America will always be the trendsetter of global pop culture."
She chuckled and said, "Aowena, she is a rare talent in a century. Let her tell the people of this country today that pop songs can be sung this way."
Monica didn't respond.
When she met Ovina, she did feel very frustrated.
She also once thought that Aovina was the superstar of this era until she returned to China.
If we only talk about vocal function, she doesn't think Wang Xingrui will lose to her.
Ovina's advantage is that she is a creative genius and all her albums are original works.
However, behind Wang Xingrui there is Zhou Yiyang.
Although it was a two-on-one situation, Ovina also had the support of America's extremely developed music industry.
If she was born in China, it would probably not be so easy for her to get so many resources on Youtu.com and Spotify, and sweep the entire European and American music circles in three years.
"Of course," the blonde woman lowered her voice again. "I'm not saying anything bad about you. I just think it's a wrong decision for you to return to China. Aowena is now planning to enter the Chinese market. If you return to China and debut as a Chinese singer, it will be much more useful than participating in a talent show."
The blonde woman looked at Monica's puzzled expression and explained patiently:
"I've done some research, and people in your country really value artists who debuted overseas and then returned to China. Even if they weren't famous overseas before, with the right marketing, they can instantly become a top star. They don't even care if you have any real talent or not."
"Really?" Monica scratched her head, but she didn't regret her decision. "But I didn't plan to debut abroad..."
"Forget it," the blonde woman interrupted her. "You've always been so stubborn. In the entertainment industry, if you want to climb to the top, you don't need passion or integrity. You'll use any means necessary and drag everyone else down with you. Of course, I'm only saying this because I consider you my student. I don't care about anyone else."
As she spoke, the blonde woman's phone screen lit up.
She clicked it and took a look, her tone filled with undisguised pride:
"Ovina is here, it looks like the show is about to begin."
Su Yin listened to Tang Yue's words and finally understood the general idea.
"So you're guessing Monica and Owena know each other?"
"Yeah," Tang Yue nodded, "otherwise why would she be with someone else's agent? It can't be that she just randomly helped an old lady cross the street, and she just happened to be Avina's agent, right?"
"She's not that old, is she?" Lin Xuan'er obviously missed the point.
"Monica is also very strong. I've seen Aovina perform live, she's amazing." Wang Xingrui said excitedly, her eyes shining. "Could they have the same teacher?"
"Ahem," Zhou Yiyang interrupted the excited Wang Xingrui, "We're here to watch the show, not to challenge her. If someone didn't know, they'd think you were going to compete on stage with her!"
"It would be even better if she could." Wang Xingrui said with some regret: "But as long as she comes to our country to develop, there will definitely be a chance to meet her in the future."
"Then Xiao Xiaosu and I will definitely go to He Sheng honestly," Tang Yue said with self-awareness, "You and Xuan'er will deal with her. We promise not to hold you back!"
Qiao Zishan was laughing so hard beside them. She found the four of them so funny.
Luo Chen and Ling Hu were relatively calm; they were both men and focused on film and television. This Ao Wenna clearly posed no threat to them.
The real threats from abroad are actually the boy bands from Korea and Japan.
At this moment, the originally noisy music suddenly stopped.
The people who were shaking their heads at the scene stopped moving in an instant. They all raised their heads and looked towards the front of the stage.
There, the manager of this livehouse came out.
“Welcome to Ran!”
"Tonight, we have an international superstar here!"
As soon as the words fell, the men and women in the front row were twisting their bodies excitedly and shouting Aovina's name loudly.
Tang Yue opened her phone and found that #Aovina comes to China to perform# directly entered the top ten hot searches.
"She's really popular. It's obviously her first time in our country."
"The song is quite popular," Su Yin said with a smile, "I wonder how she'll perform live. I'm quite looking forward to it."
At this moment, the lights in the venue went out, and a strong pink light exploded in the center of the stage.
A woman wearing a mask and a tight leather jacket fell from the sky.
She is Owena, a new generation female artist who is now thriving in America.
When the rhythmic BGM sounded, the young men and women at the scene all started dancing to the music.
Zhou Yiyang raised his eyebrows. He had to admit that the production level of this song was quite high.
