Chapter 53 New Novel
While everyone's attention was focused on Shen Yuege, Liu Siqi's Weibo post was undoubtedly another pebble thrown into the lake.
It makes the already high-profile entertainment industry even more interesting.
Before Shen Yuege released her song, Liu Siqi was the most popular of the three. Now that Shen Yuege has released a song, and Liu Siqi has also released one, it's hard not to wonder if there's some kind of grudge between the two.
Liu Siqi actually had no grudge against Shen Yuege; she just wanted to take advantage of the buzz to release her own song.
Of course, Liu Siqi also secretly wanted to compete with Shen Yuege. Previously, Shen Yuege's popularity was higher than hers, and her songs were also more well-known. This time, with Lu Ran's support, she felt it was a good opportunity for her to prove herself.
The storm in the entertainment industry caused by the "battle for the title of queen of pop" has become even more unpredictable with the strong entry of Liu Siqi, and the popularity has reached a new peak.
Although Weng Qingya's "Summer Solstice" still has some attention, it has already shown signs of fatigue compared to the two main singles from Xu Manlin, Liu Siqi, and Shen Yuege. Industry insiders generally believe that she has been eliminated from this top competition.
The fans of the other three groups are all fiercely competitive and unwilling to concede to each other.
The atmosphere in Xu Manlin's studio was not as optimistic as outsiders imagined.
Although the competition has now reached the point where the three divas are neck and neck, Xu Manlin knows that she has run out of cards to play, and is even about to lose everything.
She can only hope that Shen Yuege and Liu Siqi's remaining songs are not bad, so that she won't be considered to have lost.
But she knew the chances were extremely slim; since the other party dared to announce it on the platform, they must have absolute confidence.
"Sister Lin, Liu Siqi and Shen Yuege are coming on strong this time. Should we go find Elder Liang again..." The assistant was interrupted by Xu Manlin before she could finish speaking.
"I understand." Xu Manlin's voice was a little hoarse. "Old Liang and the others did their best; it's just that I'm not as skilled as them."
At this moment, Xu Manlin no longer seemed like the high and mighty diva, but rather like a resentful loser.
"I'm going out for a bit." After saying this, Xu Manlin hurriedly went out, hailed a taxi, and left.
"Master, go to No. 101 Ping An Road."
...
Lu Ran, bored in his office, also became a bystander, browsing the internet.
Currently, the top spots on Wanwan Music's new song chart are occupied by new songs from these artists:
First place: Liu Siqi's "By the Lake Baikal" 210 million listens
Second place: Liu Siqi's "The World" (人世世) - 190 million listens
Third place: Xu Manlin's "Flying Against the Light" listenership: 187 million
Fourth place: Shen Yuege's "Ningxia" 179 million listens
Fifth place: Xu Manlin's "When the Wind Rises" 159 million listens
Sixth place: Shen Yuege's "Summer Breeze" 156 million listens
7th Place: Weng Qingya's "The Summer of Cicada Songs" 101 million listens
Eighth place: Xu Manlin...
Lu Ran stroked his chin, pondering whether he had been too aggressive lately.
Both Shen Yuege and Liu Siqi have songs on the charts, and both of their upcoming songs are original compositions.
Although passersby didn't know that tomorrow would be them, Liu Siqi alone had already attracted some attention.
But now, even if Lu Ran wanted to keep a low profile, his strength no longer allowed him to.
Since the last interview, Lu Ran has gained many fans online.
Yesterday, Lu Ran created his personal Weibo account, and in just one day, he gained more than 100,000 followers, which was beyond Lu Ran's expectations.
Since we can't be low-key, being high-profile won't hurt.
Lu Ran registered another Wanwan Jingting account using his mobile phone number, this time registering with his real name and completing real-name authentication.
Fortunately, Lu Ran also released the recording of "Rice Fragrance" that he recorded in Xingyao's own recording studio yesterday.
The music industry is already chaotic enough, so let's make it even more chaotic.
After posting it, Lu Ran stopped paying attention to the music industry.
His novel "Battle Through the Heavens" has been updated to the point where it will be two months later, and "The Return of the God of War" has been updated enough to make three short dramas. Lu Ran plans to write another novel.
"Knock knock~"
Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
Lu Ran knew this must be someone from another department, because people from their department never knocked on the door.
"Enter!"
It was Li Mo's helper who came in.
"Minister Lu, President Li asked me to inform you that there is a meeting later that requires your attendance." The assistant spoke politely, but the content of his words surprised Lu Ran.
Although Lu Ran has achieved good results in these many days, Li Mo rarely asks about him. Apart from publicly praising him a few times and allocating a lot of funds, he basically doesn't ask him about anything else.
But this time, Li Mo surprisingly called him to a meeting.
Lu Ran originally didn't want to go, but considering that Li Mo had treated him quite well, he decided to give him face.
After all, I'll be working for someone else for the next six months.
Half an hour later, in Li Mo's conference room.
Li Mo stood on the stage, while several department heads and some directors from other regions sat below.
"That's right. Recently, our company's data for long-running dramas has declined significantly. In recent months, our various data have been completely surpassed by Starlight Entertainment and Star China Entertainment." Li Mo said on stage with a serious expression.
"However, the short drama series 'The Return of the God of War' performed exceptionally well last month, not only surpassing Starlight Entertainment's short dramas but also taking the top spot on the short drama chart."
After saying that, Li Mo led the applause for Lu Ran.
Lu Ran had only intended to come and see what the meeting was about, but Li Mo's sudden outburst made him feel somewhat embarrassed.
It's not the embarrassment of being too shy, it's the embarrassment of being too outstanding and not being able to show it directly.
How come I can bring glory to the company even though I'm slacking off all day? What are you other departments doing?
The editorial department, didn't you say that my presence affected your work efficiency?
How come your data has dropped to the bottom after you left?
As the applause subsided, Li Mo continued, "Long-run drama production has always been our core business, especially now that Starlight Entertainment and Star China Entertainment are eyeing us covetously, ready to take a slice of our pie at any moment."
"Xingyao is a big family; we share the same glory and the same loss."
"Therefore, all departments will temporarily adjust their direction, and for the next six months, all parts will focus on long-form dramas."
"Each department has to submit at least two works to me. Whoever has the worst data will be fired."
"You can decide the direction of the long-running series yourselves. The company has no requirements; all the company wants is results."
As Li Mo finished speaking, all the department heads and directors looked at each other, their brows furrowed.
But Lu Ran's eyes suddenly lit up in the audience.
He was just thinking about what to write for his next novel, and now he's got inspiration!
