Entertainment Era: Starting with Teaching Sister Meng to Sing

Xia Fanxing had planned everything meticulously, but she hadn't anticipated that the scandals exposed by Xingcan were all true.

It's common for people in the industry to smear each other and smear each other's artists. After all, the pie in the industry is only so big, and if one more person is eliminated, the one who gets a bigger slice can take a bite.

Generally speaking, if you have dirt on someone, you can just find someone to clear it up. Fabricated dirt can always be refuted by a lot of evidence.

But now these two people are saying the dirt on them is true.

Xia Fanxing looked Wang Xiaozhou up and down, and exclaimed in surprise at the spirited young man with a slightly roguish air but an undeniable uprightness between his brows: "You, the school bully?"

Wang Xiaozhou laughed a little embarrassedly: "Young man, who hasn't been hot-blooded at some point?"

"The young man who can write a song like 'As You Wish' is actually a school bully in real life?"

Xia Fanxing's amazed expression was quite charming, like someone who had just woken up the next day after a night of passion and found that the young man next to her had only just come of age.

"Art is art, and life is life."

Meng Ziyi burst out laughing beside her: "Don't joke with Sister Xia. Sister Xia, he just likes to fight with the thugs outside the school. He has never bullied anyone in the school. He can't be considered a school bully."

Xia Fanxing looked at Wang Xiaozhou with a complicated expression: "That's fine. If you were really the kind of school bully who bullies classmates without any scruples, I really wouldn't know how to deal with you."

Wang Xiaozhou spread his hands: "Look, even you think so. What's the point of clarifying things online? Let the public opinion ferment as it may. In the end, it might even benefit us."

Xia Fanxing gently shook her head: "I will inform the company's public relations department to handle it as best as possible. It's best to resolve these kinds of dirt dug up by the other company in the early stages. Otherwise, as Meng Ziyi's popularity increases, she may become a target of negative publicity because of these dirt."

"Alright, you guys get some rest first. Just don't make any mistakes during the official recording tomorrow. Leave the rest to me."

Xia Fanxing swayed as she walked out of the hotel.

That night, dozens of photos of Shang Wenjie, an artist under Star Entertainment, were leaked, showing her drunk late at night. At the same time, old stories of her feud with her unscrupulous boss from years ago were also dug up.

It's unclear which forces bought trending topics for these terms on Weibo, but a war of words erupted immediately.

Meanwhile, Meng Ziyi's personal studio account, which was registered for "Dare to Be Entertainment," also posted on Weibo.

The road ahead is smooth; no response is needed. I am who I am.

Wang Xiaozhou kept an eye on the Weibo activity while in the hotel. Xia Fanxing's reverse approach had indeed reduced the heat of the scandal considerably.

But the facts are there. Just because you expose a celebrity's scandals doesn't mean that netizens will forget about it if you ignore it.

Did Meng Ziyi have sex with Wang Xiaozhou before participating in The Voice of China?

some!

Everyone only cares about whether they have a room or not; they don't care whether Meng Ziyi and Wang Xiaozhou booked a double room or a standard room, or whether they were sleeping or exercising in the room.

They only care whether Meng Ziyi has had sex with a man!

Am I a school bully?

Doesn't count.

At least I've never bullied any ordinary classmates.

But do netizens care whether they have bullied anyone?

No, they only care whether they got into a fight or not, and whether they won the fight. If they won, they're considered school bullies.

There's no way to explain this. Wang Xiaozhou isn't as indifferent as he seems; he's just helpless. Xingcan isn't throwing dirty water; he's stating the facts.

It must be admitted that Wu Qiuyan has indeed hit Wang Xiaozhou where it hurts this time. He can only watch as Meng Ziyi's popularity drops and he can't find any solution.

After a night of suffocating sleep, Wang Xiaozhou opened his eyes the next day, still seething with anger.

I called Xia Fanxing as soon as I got up and told her not to contact the production team anymore. I told her to have Meng Ziyi call Shang Wenjie instead. I don’t believe that the Red Dust Inn, which has the added bonus of the perfect performance of the single, will be eliminated in the first episode!

Wu Qiuyan, didn't you want to poach me from Xingcan?

Okay, then I'll showcase my value on the show and then talk directly to the CEO of StarCan.

I can join Starshine, but only one of us can stay—you or me!

As Wang Xiaozhou thought about it, he felt much better and even laughed at himself. He imagined that after he joined Xingcan, he would pull out a song called "Learn to Meow" for the company's artists and say, "Sorry, I'm an undercover agent."

Just thinking about it makes me feel so comfortable!

At 10 a.m., after receiving a notification from the production team, Wang Xiaozhou and Meng Ziyi rushed to the recording site. The audience had already entered the venue, and the veteran celebrities were already recording their pre-competition reflections.

Meng Ziyi was taken to the backstage staff for a makeup test. Wang Xiaozhou searched for her along the way and sat down directly after spotting Wu Qiuyan.

"Did you sleep well last night, Mr. Wang?"

Meng Ziyi's achievement of losing 100,000 followers overnight made Wu Qiuyan very proud, and her tone of voice when speaking to Wang Xiaozhou became gentler.

Wang Xiaozhou couldn't help but laugh at her current appearance, wondering what her expression would be when Xingcan kicked her out in a few days.

"I can't sleep. If only a woman in black stockings and a business suit were here to hold me while I sleep, she could comfort me about my career setbacks."

Wu Qiuyan's eyes lit up slightly: "Now you know the power of capital? We only need to post two more Weibo posts to destroy Meng Ziyi. You couldn't refute the previous few messages, but the audience will believe whatever we say next."

If you continue to be stubborn, you will get nothing. Come to Xingcan, and everything you want will come true, including that woman in black stockings and a business suit you mentioned.

Wang Xiaozhou seemed intrigued: "Is it you?"

He's just a kid after all. He pretended to be indifferent the other day, but he'd actually been eyeing me for a while.

Wu Qiuyan raised her head proudly: "As long as you come to Xingcan, it's not impossible."

Wang Xiaozhou quickly sat up straight: "That won't do. If it's you, it's better if you don't exist."

Wu Qiuyan's face darkened instantly, while Wang Xiaozhou revealed his two little tiger teeth, chuckling to himself, clearly enjoying his mischievousness.

The host on stage had already drawn lots under the camera's view, and Meng Ziyi was indeed matched with Shang Wenjie. Their stage was the third to last.

The older generation of singers have already started taking the stage. The normal pre-competition routine is done in one go, with Lin Zhixuan, as a veteran male god, taking the lead in opening the show.

As expected of a pillar of the first generation of the music scene, the veteran male god's unique cocktail singing style drew cheers from the audience, and he was incredibly elegant.

The other veteran artists also gave it their all, showcasing their signature songs one after another on stage. These top singers have been shining in their fields for many years, and participating in the competition would be beneath their dignity no matter who they lost to, so they all gave it their all, leaving many classic performances in the first episode.

Then, under the scrutinizing gazes of a group of senior figures, she finally arrived at Meng Ziyi's stage.

During the interview, Sister Meng maintained her strong female lead persona and only left the host with one sentence.

"The original song I brought this time is called 'Red Dust Inn,' and I hope Starry Entertainment will like it."
