It's 8 a.m.
Starway Company.
Chen Tianyi, who was overwhelmed by what happened last night, did not sleep a wink.
I came to work this morning feeling extremely tired.
Especially after the data was crushed by the song "Sunset Glow" last night, Chen Tianyi was called by the president to inquire about his parents, and he didn't dare to say a word.
So Chen Tianyi came to the company for a meeting early this morning.
The major shareholders will be present at this board meeting convened by the president.
Starway's current situation is urgent, and a win-win solution must be discussed this morning.
Otherwise, in a few more days, we'll really have to promote all of Wanxia's musical works for a whole month.
As Chen Tianyi entered the large conference room, he heard several long-time shareholders cursing loudly.
"Go to hell with Chen Tianyi, look what you've done! If it's a singing competition, then it's a singing competition, why the hell are you bringing up that promotion stuff?"
These long-time shareholders are also passionate people; they start cursing whenever something happens, and they don't care about anything else, as if only in this way can they quell their anger.
"Chen Tianyi, you do the math. If we promote Evening Glow for a month, how much will Xingtu have to pay?"
The one who spoke was a female shareholder, around thirty-five years old. She was quite rational and didn't use foul language.
"President Zhang... I... um... that..." Chen Tianyi cast a pleading look at the president.
Despite the pressure, the president changed the subject: "Gentlemen, the most urgent task now is to resolve the company's current crisis. As for Chen Tianyi's mistakes, we can investigate them later."
"What other way is there to solve this? Unless Chen Shaoyan's new song can turn the tide, I just took a look at the data for that new song 'Picking Stars'... it has already widened the gap to 4 million. Forgive me for being blunt, but there is no possibility of it winning the championship."
The female shareholder, Ms. Zhang, looked at the issue from an objective perspective: "I also watched the bottom-ranked MVs, and even I, as a competitor, thought they were good. Others would only have a better impression."
“It’s basically very difficult…unless,” a marketing general manager said.
"Unless what?" The president looked at the man on his left.
The general manager first glanced at the president, then looked at Chen Tianyi: "I think Zhao Shanshan's Jade Syndrome is pretty good. Unless we hype it up again and make the rising reputation of the sunset continue to decline, the bigger the hype, the better the effect, and the promotion will naturally be postponed."
Chen Tianyi should have been happy to hear that the general manager had a solution, but after listening, his face fell: "General Manager, Wanxia has already announced a ban on Li Zhaoyang, so there is no longer any value or meaning in this incident that can be hyped up."
The marketing general manager laughed and said, "If we don't have it, we'll find it ourselves. There's always a way to overcome difficulties. Surely Mr. Chen knows such a simple principle? Public opinion is a very useful tool for generating traffic. If controlled well, it can solve 99% of problems, including the predicament of failing in the Star Journey singing competition."
One sentence awakened everyone present.
"But..." Chen Tianyi was about to say something when the president glared at him, and he swallowed the words that were about to come out.
The president stood up and announced, "Tianyi, this matter started because of you, so you're in charge of handling it. You have three days to resolve this. If you can't, you'll have to retire early."
Chen Tianyi gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
As Xingtu's shareholders gradually left, the remaining president sighed: "Tianyi, if this matter cannot be resolved properly, I will fight for the best possible retirement benefits for you."
"President……"
"No need to say anything more. This is not your fault. Nobody expected Chen Shaoyan to lose. It's just that life is unpredictable. You should go back to your office now."
"All right."
Chen Tianyi dragged his tired body back to his office, racking his brains on the way back to figure out how to handle the matter.
If this had happened before Wanxia banned Li Zhaoyang, things would have been much easier.
At that time, the reputation of Sunset was declining.
But now...
After the image of the princess in the long dress, Wanxia's reputation is probably rising rapidly, especially among Zhaixing and Bian Ling'er.
Although Zhaixing has only been in the spotlight for a short time, the two works he released have received very good responses. This time, by stepping on Chen Shaoyan's shoulders, he has finally come into the view of many senior songwriters.
With a good reputation and strong capabilities, how do you build a solid foundation...?
"Director, I have something to report to you." The female secretary walked in without knocking.
"How many times have I told you to knock before coming in? Why don't you listen?" Chen Tianyi cursed, already annoyed.
The female secretary knew what losing the singing contest meant for the director, so she sensibly closed the office door, gently took off the stockings, and whispered the report in his ear.
"Director, my men just saw Li Zhaoyang go to the Evening Glow Building this morning."
"Oh?" Chen Tianyi, who was originally annoyed and wanted to push away his female secretary, perked up a bit upon hearing this news: "Go on."
The female secretary said, "Not only this morning, but my people also said that they have seen Li Zhaoyang going to Wanxia Building on time every day for the past few days. Director, do you think it is possible that Wanxia is still secretly developing him, waiting for the public opinion to completely subside before announcing his comeback?"
Chen Tianyi narrowed his eyes: "Is the source of this information accurate? Who provided it?"
The female secretary said, "He's my cousin. He works at the coffee shop across the street from the Sunset Building."
Chen Tianyi: "Tell him to keep an eye on things. Also, if he can get any more useful information, I'll give your cousin 100,000 yuan."
Female secretary: "Okay."
...
"Zhaoyang, I applied for the bronze medal lyricist and composer honorary title for you today. It will be done in three business days."
As the evening glow faded, the director's voice came from the composition department.
Song Yuqin also estimated that, based on Zhaoyang's current trend, they could probably be promoted to silver medal next year and gold medal the year after.
As for the ace, it depends on future developments; it's too early to judge.
"You won a bronze medal in less than two months! Zhaoyang, you're amazing! You'll get a silver medal next year, right? You're blessed with talent. Sigh, back when I started writing lyrics and music, it took me three years to even get a basic understanding of the craft. I only started getting bronze medals in my fourth year and silver medals in my fifth."
Chen Zu'an walked over still holding a cup of goji berry tea; this cup of tea is already a veteran actor's cup.
"When I got home from get off work yesterday, I kept thinking about how amazing Zhaoyang's new song had to be to make the director decide to have a singing battle with Chen Shaoyan. Sigh, such an amazing 'Goddess' music video, I just can't come up with any ideas for it."
Huang Weizhou, like Zu An, became sentimental: "Damn it, who is the real ace lyricist and composer? Why has Zhao Yang been the one taking the spotlight lately?"
"Didn't you guys say you were going to bring out all the stock you had?"
Chen Wanting chewed on a piece of bread, her hair somewhat disheveled: "After a while, I'll take over the one-month promotion period for Star Journey. I need to quickly perfect this high-quality work and release it to maximize the profits."
"Oh right, I almost forgot about this big thing. I think it's time to find singers to record the songs I have on hand."
Other songwriters were slow to realize this.
A month of promotion, such a long period of publicity and traffic coverage, even a small recommendation, can increase the number of views for an old song by at least several hundred thousand.
This is the best time to release a new song.
As for the peak season at the end of the year, I'll work on another song then.
"Has Teacher Zhaoyang come to work yet?"
