Upon arriving at the composition department, the director brought good news.
"Zhaoyang, your application for the trainee lyricist/composer title has been approved."
Song Yuqin smiled radiantly: "This song, 'Sorrowful Night,' is really impressive; it's almost won the championship. I originally thought that making it into the top five would be terrifying."
Li Zhaoyang could see the smile on the director's face after the initial excitement.
The director himself is probably already happy about it.
"Then congratulations to the director for not being dismissed."
"It's all thanks to this song that you've done a great job." Song Yuqin's gaze towards Zhaoyang now held a strange emotion: "If your voice hadn't been ruined, and there hadn't been this public outcry, what kind of achievements would you have as a singer and songwriter?"
Song Yuqin could foresee that if Zhaoyang sang Xiaochou herself, the original 12 million fans would reach an even higher level.
That would truly be like adding wings to a tiger.
Whenever I think of this, I can't help but feel regret.
"Bang--"
A loud banging sound came from the direction of the table.
"Old Huang, what's wrong with you?" Song Yuqin was startled. Looking over, she saw Huang Weizhou rushing into the office area like a madman.
"Holy crap... Zhaoyang's starting point is too high. Winning the championship as a trainee lyricist and composer, many gold medalists and ace players have never won the rose championship!!"
Huang Weizhou is one of them. His best result is eighth place in the Golden List Winter Season and third place in the Silver List Monthly Season.
Zhao Yang had just become a trainee lyricist and composer when he won the championship...
The most terrifying thing is that the work was released at almost the 20th, and it has overcome many obstacles all the way.
"You won the championship?" Chen Zuan rushed out, holding a cup of goji berry tea.
"They really won!"
Soon, the entire composition department office area was filled with the joy of victory.
This not only means the director won't be dismissed, but it also marks a new milestone for their composition department this year.
The key point is that this milestone was created by Zhaoyang.
Song Yuqin walked to the nearest computer and checked the July quarterly data rankings of the Silver List.
Champion: "Sorrow", lyrics and music by Zhaixing, sung by Lin Xianguang (Paid viewers: 21.34 million)
Second: "Those Years", lyrics and music by Zhang Tianhua, sung by Zhao Shanshan (paid viewership: 21.3 million).
"Damn!" Zhang Zhuowen leaned closer to Zhaoyang: "Aren't you going to treat us to a big meal tonight?"
Song Yuqin pushed Li Zhaoyang behind her: "I'll treat you tonight, to the five-star hotel next door."
Li Zhaoyang could clearly feel the director's body trembling slightly, he didn't know whether it was from excitement or something else.
"A trainee lyricist and composer, crushing the ace lyricist and composer, Zhaoyang, you can brag about this for a lifetime!" Huang Weizhou gave a thumbs up: "You really are Wanxia's little darling. When you were a singer, you made so many contributions to Wanxia. After transitioning to lyricism and composition, you directly won the monthly championship."
Chen Zu'an also flattered, "If I were a high-ranking executive in the company, I would treat our Zhaoyang like a little prince of the evening glow."
"I'm going back to my office first." Li Zhaoyang decided to finish working on the audio file for "Countdown" first.
"Everyone else, stop joking around and get busy. I'm leaving get off work early today; I'll go book a private room first."
After Song Yuqin returned to her office and closed the door, her chest heaved violently as she exhaled heavily, revealing a childlike smile that no one had ever seen before.
"We won the championship...hehe."
After this incident, she will no longer make empty promises in front of the board of directors.
Even if you're 100% sure, you won't make a promise lightly.
...
"Son of a bitch!!"
Star Path, Director's Office.
Chen Tianyi kicked the boss's chair away, roaring, "This Zhaixing is fucking awful... a song released in the middle of the month can still win the top spot? Who the hell is he?"
Standing in front of the desk, Zhao Shanshan remained silent, her face filled with resentment.
"And..." Chen Tianyi's brows furrowed even more deeply: "Didn't I tell you to meet up with that bastard Li Zhaoyang? Why haven't we heard anything from him in days?"
Zhao Shanshan gave a bitter smile, unsure of what to say. After hesitating for two seconds, she said in a mournful tone, "I wonder if he's been completely devastated since the ban. He doesn't answer my calls, or he hangs up after less than two seconds. My text messages keep getting blocked. I've already changed my number four times..."
"Tianyi".
As she spoke, Zhao Shanshan took his arm and asked, "Think of another way. There are only three days left until the end of the month. The title of Best Singer is just around the corner. We can't let all our previous efforts go to waste!"
"What other options are there?" Chen Tianyi said angrily, "That son of a bitch Zhaixing, the quality of the song he released is too good, the data has increased by more than 300%, this championship... I'm afraid it's not going to be held."
Chen Tianyi spoke with difficulty about a fact that was hard for anyone to accept.
"No!" Zhao Shanshan shouted, "I've worked so hard for so long, and I'm about to win the title of Queen of Pop! I'm not convinced!"
"The only way now is to get Li Zhaoyang to come out and make a final push in the last three days." Chen Tianyi's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
"I'll ask you to meet me again!" Zhao Shanshan was determined and sent a text message to Li Zhaoyang from a different, unfamiliar number.
"Brother Zhaoyang, I'll give you 10 million yuan, get back together with me."
"Brother Zhaoyang, now you believe in my resolve, right? I love you."
'Brother Zhaoyang, if I didn't love you, with my current status and position, I could easily find someone better.'
"Brother Zhaoyang, let's meet at that music restaurant at noon. If you agree to get back together with me, we'll get our marriage certificate right away."
Zhao Shanshan edited these words almost while feeling disgusted.
She genuinely didn't want to have anything to do with a "tainted" celebrity who had been blacklisted.
But to win the championship, we have to go all out!
Five minutes later, Li Zhaoyang replied with a single word: "Get lost."
He was straightforward, sparing with words, and didn't even want to have anything to do with Zhao Shanshan, that vicious woman.
Now even the last bit of hype is gone.
Seeing Xiaochou's popularity soaring, Zhao Shanshan finally snapped: "Li Zhaoyang! What right do you have to tell me to get lost? You're just a blacklisted celebrity with a bad reputation!!"
Chen Tianyi straightened his office chair, rubbed his temples, and said, "Why is this sunset so irritating?"
"Tianyi, is there any other way?"
"It's over. Accept it."
"Tianyi, if I win the title of Queen of Pop, your position can be promoted even further. It's something that's within your grasp. Are you willing to accept that?"
"Shanshan, you go back first. The queen of songs is gone, but the feud is in the making. I won't let this star-picking girl get away with it!"
"Tianyi, you must make Wanxia pay the price! If possible, bring down that Zhaixing too, just like you did with Li Zhaoyang!"
