Also in a high-end residential area in this city.
Like Zhao Shanshan, Chen Tianyi could hardly sit still after watching the countdown MV, especially after winning the countdown, when fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The back of my clothes was also soaked with sweat.
A dangerous aura enveloped his entire body.
Even the phone screen, which was placed next to my ear, was covered with a little bit of greasy sweat.
"Shut up, something terrible has happened!"
Chen Shaoyan, who was in a villa far away, saw that it was his uncle calling. He smiled without saying a word, and after a long while asked, "Is it good news about Zhaixing's true identity?"
On the other end of the phone, Chen Tianyi's voice became impatient: "Shaoyan, think of a solution quickly, the championship has changed hands."
"Hmm? Oh? It took half an hour for 'Crying for Love' to win the championship?" Chen Shaoyan was slightly disappointed.
"No... 'Crying for Love' won the championship a dozen minutes ago. I'm talking about how the championship for your song, Shao Yan, has changed hands."
"Uncle, speak slowly, what happened?" Chen Shaoyan slowly put down the pen in his right hand, stopped writing, and the lyrics could still be vaguely seen on the paper.
"The music video for the song 'Plucking Stars at Sunset'... has become a viral sensation!" Chen Tianyi rattled off a whole bunch of things.
Each word spoken felt like a cold weapon slicing across every inch of Chen Shaoyan's skin. He immediately hung up the phone and turned on his computer to check his grades.
The number of paying users reached 2.2131 million.
The number of people who paid to cry for love reached 1.9912 million.
Chen Shaoyan's eyes widened, and he jumped up with a mad look in his eyes as he clicked on the music video.
After watching it.
Chen Shaoyan was delighted: "What a beautiful music video! Why didn't I think of shooting a music video in this angelic style?"
He remained silent for a long time before he began to think.
"Who is the lyricist and composer of this song, Zhaixing? I definitely know them because their skill level is so high."
"Damn it, a 100% win rate got crushed, that doesn't make sense!"
"Damn it, this assistant is completely unprofessional. His bonus has to be docked this month!"
"Hahaha, after that kid Zhang Zhenyuan, I've met another worthy opponent, hehehe, hahaha!"
From his initial ferocity to his current excitement, Chen Shaoyan felt an urge to unveil the mystery of the Star-Picking Claw.
A moment later, his phone was dialed again.
It's Chen Tianyi.
"Shaoyan, have you thought of a solution? Should we make a music video too?"
"It's no use. I'll just admit defeat this time. I admit defeat to Zhaixing in this singing battle."
Chen Shaoyan has always been very rational. The quality of his song "Crying for Love" is comparable to his previous song, especially after the release of a god-level music video. He was unstoppable in the August season.
Most importantly, their two works are of the same type.
When similar works are brought on stage for comparison, a stark contrast is formed.
In the August season's singing battle, Chen Shaoyan lost.
"That damn 'steady master' is anything but steady; I'll have to dock that assistant's bonus later!"
Hearing Chen Shaoyan complaining on the phone, Chen Tianyi also became anxious: "Shaoyan, please don't! Do you know how much determination your uncle put into this singing battle? The losing company has to promote all of the winning company's music for a month. Shaoyan, you have to help me! And it's only just been released, there's still a chance!"
Originally intended to establish the authority of the sunset-picking star, it unexpectedly backfired.
Now that the stone has been moved, Chen Tianyi needs to avoid getting hit by it.
"What do you want to do?" Only then did Chen Shaoyan have time to listen to his uncle's ramblings.
"What? Shouldn't I be asking you what I want to do?" Chen Tianyi glared angrily.
"I only agreed to have a singing duel with Zhaixing. I don't think I was involved in anything else, right?" Chen Shaoyan revealed an excited smile. "But I will challenge Zhaixing to another duel later. That's all, I'm hanging up now."
"Beep beep beep..."
After hearing that bastard hang up the phone, Chen Tianyi trembled all over. He realized the seriousness of the situation: "Damn it... how could this happen? Isn't Shao Yan supposed to be one of the two strongest aces after Qu Shen? Could this Zhaixing be Zhang Zhenyuan? Impossible!"
Zhang Zhenyuan is from the founding camp, how could he possibly come to Wanxia?
What remains unexplained is who exactly this "Star Picker" is, that he can even outperform a top-tier lyricist and composer like Shao Yan.
And then come a music video that's like something out of a fantasy novel.
"Promote for one month..."
Thinking of this, Chen Tianyi was so frightened that he didn't want to stay at home anymore. He went straight to the company and contacted the publicity department to expedite the promotion and boost sales.
...
Abroad, in Paris.
A scene from a singing competition.
After the finals concluded, the champion was crowned.
The winner of the third season of this competition was a popular local female singer.
The runner-up was Zhao Anlan.
She was not disappointed by not winning the championship; on the contrary, her fighting spirit was ignited.
"We'll fight again next year." Zhao Anlan packed her simple backpack and luggage backstage at the competition venue, preparing to return home.
"I booked a flight for 8 p.m. tonight. It takes off in about an hour. An Lan, let's go to the airport now."
Perhaps because she didn't win the championship, Zhao Anlan was still a bit downcast when she arrived at the airport, so her agent had to offer words of comfort:
“An Lan, your strength is no less than that champion’s. You were just slightly outmatched in the final song.”
"I'm not so fragile that I need your comfort." While waiting, Zhao Anlan began to review tonight's final.
About ten minutes later, Zhao Anlan's thoughts on reviewing the finals were interrupted by her manager: "Anlan, our Sunset Glow is going viral!"
"The company released a new song?" Zhao Anlan perked up after hearing the words "going viral".
As a singer, she is very clear that a work that can make a music company break out of its niche has already exceeded the category of a hit; it will have a turning point that can be called a "legend".
"Yes, go online and take a look. There are videos of princesses in long dresses everywhere online now. They're absolutely gorgeous."
Agents always have sharp eyes.
Zhao Anlan took out her phone from her pocket and opened her usual Feibo app. Six of the top ten trending topics were about the "princess in a long dress".
#The exotic princess I used to imagine was very vague, but after the countdown, she finally took on a real image in my mind.#
#I think everyone agrees that Ling'er has been deified, right?#
#A phenomenal music video of the year, crushing everything#
#Who exactly is Zhaixing, that he actually defeated Chen Shaoyan, one of the two aces?#
After a quick glance at the trending list, Zhao Anlan realized that Wanxia might really have become a viral sensation this time.
Only those in the industry know how valuable Feibo's trending topics list is.
Other entertainment companies would have to spend at least tens of millions of dollars to buy a spot in the top ten trending searches.
Not to mention that six of them are in the top ten.
There are generally only two possible scenarios.
