Of all the major entertainment companies, none dared to enter the fray.-Começando no Entretenimento ao Pegar por Engano o Gato de uma Estrela(Eu adoro comer nuvens.)

The protagonists in the music video were a couple with a vast gap in social status, whose relationship lacked the support of both their families.

At the story's end, they ran toward the horizon, shattering their parents' barriers with courage and living happily together.

After watching the music video, Chen Jiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for some reason.

This music video was much more pleasing to the eye. In his past life, the plot of the music video for this song had completely shattered one's worldview.

When he first saw that video back then, Chen Jiang had assumed it was someone's troll creation and was about to step in and question it, only to discover that it actually seemed to be the official music video...

Fortunately, the music video director hired by the studio this time was quite normal.

Chen Jiang opened the post's comment section.

[Releasing an album already? Didn't Yi Yunxue's new song come out not too long ago? It's only been a few months, and she's dropping another album.]

[How many songs are on this album this time? I'm so excited!]

[It's only been three months, right? Another new song? And dropping a whole album all at once, this efficiency is insane!]

[The melody of this music video makes your ears feel like they're going to get pregnant! The quality feels no less than her previous song Meet. Just for this song, I'm not going to pirate this album; I have to buy it and listen!]

[Even though this song only has the chorus part, the melody is really good. Looking forward to the album release! I'll definitely buy a copy to support it then!]

[Just for this song alone, this album is worth buying! I wonder what the quality of the other songs on the album will be like. Looking at the notes in the music video, are the lyrics and composition handled by Chen Jiang again this time?]

This was a comment from someone suspected to be an insider in the industry.

Chen Jiang's eyelid twitched, and he felt somewhat helpless inwardly: "Don't focus your attention on me!"

Someone replied beneath it:

[The moment you hear the melody, you know it's a song written by Teacher Chen Jiang!]

[Lyricists and composers of this caliber are quite rare, and Dream-Awakening Studio should only have this one so far.]

[I heard that people from the Big Four entertainment companies searched through all their connections in the entire entertainment industry, yet none of them could get this person's contact information. Word is that he's currently the music director of Dream-Awakening Studio. Yi Yunxue is truly lucky!]

[No kidding! If I hadn't heard of any gossip, I would have thought Yi Yunxue had some indescribable relationship with him!]

Fortunately, this comment was buried deep down, and not many fans paid attention to it.

...

Meanwhile, the general manager of Skystar Entertainment also took note of this matter.

The situation arose abruptly, and he immediately convened a meeting of all department heads.

At the meeting, Zhou Weimin sat at the head of the table and announced the news that Yi Yunxue had suddenly declared she would release a new album in three days.

Upon hearing this news, the entire room erupted in an uproar. A department manager voiced his opinion: "I don't think there's anything to fear. She just released a new song a few months ago, and now she's launching a new album. Coming so close together with such a tight schedule, the quality of this album might not be very high."

"The singer releasing our new song this time is none other than Heavenly Queen Liu, and the new song was tailor-made for her by the legendary composer Zhuang himself. Yi Yunxue hasn't attained the title of Heavenly Queen yet, and aside from Chen Jiang, she has no other gold-medal composers by her side, so we don't need to step aside to avoid her!"

The other management personnel around the table echoed their agreement in succession.

"Since you all think this way, I'll let you listen to a segment of the music video she released in advance," Zhou Weimin said, opening a video on the multimedia screen.

As the singing rang out, everyone fell silent one by one.

The video ended.

"I think Heavenly Queen Liu would still be better off releasing her song in May. Yi Yunxue's momentum is currently too fierce as she sprints toward this year's Heavenly Queen throne. Let's avoid her while we can," Zhou Weimin said again.

"I agree with President Zhou's plan!"

"Seconded!"

...

Tangxin Culture.

"Postpone the release of Huang Yating's new song by a month. There's basically no chance at the top of the charts this month," Tang Yi instructed his secretary.

"Understood, Chairman Tang," the secretary nodded and exited the office.

Left alone in his office, Tang Yi listened to the singing in the music video and muttered to himself: "Dream-Awakening Studio... truly a dark horse!"

Meanwhile, All-Entertainment Group, another one of the Big Four entertainment companies, also canceled the release plan for its top-tier first-line singer for this month.

...

Star-Shining Culture.

"Yi Yunxue is releasing a new album? No need to worry, just release the song as scheduled. I estimate that this song is the only one with decent competitive quality on her album; the other tracks couldn't possibly reach this level. Classic hits aren't picked up off the street by the wind—how could they be written so easily?"

General Manager Liu Jialiang said to the artist sitting before him: "This time, I didn't expect you to reach the top of the new song charts anyway. As long as you can break into the top three, I'll be satisfied."

Wu Tian nodded: "Don't worry, President Liu, I will certainly not disappoint your expectations!"

Wu Tian currently held a mid-tier first-line position within the industry, but he possessed great potential and had been designated by Star-Shining Culture as a primary object for cultivation.

This time, the company had specifically found two gold-medal lyricists and composers to craft a song for him.

This track also approached the level of a classic hit, and in a less competitive environment, it genuinely had a chance to claim the number one spot on the new song chart.

However, they had learned beforehand that a Heavenly Queen would be entering the fray for this cycle of the new song chart, so they had only set a conservative target for Wu Tian—to break into the top three of the new song chart.

"Go ahead and fiercely compete amongst yourselves. Anyway, I'm not fighting for first place; what difference does it make whether there's one more bigshot or one less?" Wu Tian thought with inner relief.

...

The next day.

Chen Jiang suddenly received a message sent by Zhang Jianlong.

[Zhang Jianlong]: I need to find a second-line artist to endorse a cosmetics brand under our company.

[Zhang Jianlong]: Does your studio have any recommendations? A female artist would be best.

[Chen Jiang]: You're only looking for a second-line artist for the endorsement?

He felt somewhat surprised. Zhang Jianlong's family group was, after all, one of the top cosmetics groups in the country. Even if it was just a subsidiary, shouldn't they at least hire an artist of a higher caliber?

This felt a bit too stingy.

[Zhang Jianlong]: Alas, why do you think they sent me here for a trial by fire?

[Zhang Jianlong]: The sales of the cosmetics sub-brands under the company here aren't high domestically. It's already pretty good if the company doesn't lose money every year; turning a profit is out of the question.

[Zhang Jianlong]: The headquarters had originally decided to shut down the production lines for these sub-brands and wanted the local company to switch to selling a few popular cosmetics brands instead, but my dad vetoed it.

[Zhang Jianlong]: He sent me here precisely to test my abilities, so he only gave me enough funds to hire a second-line artist. The company has no extra disposable funds left. Success or failure rides entirely on this single move!

Seeing this, Chen Jiang pondered for a moment and placed a call to Yi Yunxue.

Once the call connected, he explained the situation on Zhang Jianlong's end.

He consulted Yi Yunxue, as the studio's head, for her opinion.

"Alright, I'll tell him that then."

After hanging up the phone.

[Chen Jiang]: Maya from our studio has been getting pretty good traffic lately. Although she's a newcomer, she successfully broke out of her niche with the song Wild, and she's currently considered a mid-tier second-line singer.

[Chen Jiang]: Her popularity is peaking right now, and she hasn't taken on any endorsements yet. Yunxue's stance is that we can take it as long as the endorsement fee is around that amount.

[Zhang Jianlong]: Maya? Is she the singer who sang Wild? Her traffic definitely isn't low lately. She's the one!

[Zhang Jianlong]: Cut the act and stop pretending. I refuse to believe your company hasn't done any market research. Maya is the only second-line singer in your studio—you were aiming straight for her from the very beginning, weren't you?

[Zhang Jianlong]: Hehe, you guessed it. She was right there on the shortlist provided by our company's marketing department. I figured charity begins at home, which is why I came to you.
