Following Gao Xiaoyu's voice and direction, everyone immediately turned their attention to the stage, where the six Candy girl group members stood in place, dressed in the same white cat costumes they wore during training.

The next second, countless adorable cartoon kittens appeared on the large screen behind the stage, and coupled with the dazzling stage lights, the audience was dazzled.

As the number of kittens on the big screen gradually decreased until only six remained, a light and cheerful intro suddenly began, as if to lead everyone present into a world of tender emotions.

A few seconds later, Lin Youyou, who was standing in the center of the stage, suddenly raised her two cat paws and made a scratching motion on the left and right sides of her face. Her expression was playful and cute, as if she had really transformed into a quirky and adorable cat girl.

Then she quickly twisted her cat paw to the right, her whole body becoming like an alluring and seductive cat demon, and then she sang...

Let's learn to meow together

Meow meow meow meow meow

Act cute in front of you

oops meow meow meow meow

My heart is pounding.

I'm obsessed with your mischievous smile

If you don't say you love me, I'll meow meow meow.

……

'

As soon as she stopped singing, the girls on either side simultaneously stretched out their ten fingers and drew lines on their faces, then took over the singing from their respective team leaders:

I need your hug every day.

Cherish every minute and second we spend together

How important you are to me

I think you know better than I do.

You are my leading lady

... "

The six girl group members are sweet-looking, and their dance moves are cute, playful, and alluring. Coupled with the stunning stage effects, they instantly drew applause from everyone in the audience. Many fans even started shouting, and most of the audience members took out their phones to record the six adorable and charming kittens.

Gao Xiaoyu rested her chin on her hands, her beautiful eyes seemingly glued to the stage, revealing a look of admiration. When the song and the performance reached their climax, she couldn't help but clap and shout, "Bravo!"

The sudden applause and cheers caught the older sister next to her off guard. The latter, still with her arms crossed and an icy expression, saw her younger sister staring at the stage like a lovesick fool and immediately said:

"This so-called 'Learn to Meow' song has almost no ups and downs, and the lyrics are incredibly corny. It relies entirely on the constantly repeated melody and the girls' coquettish poses to force brainwashing."

After a pause, she continued, "I don't know where Zhou Yang got the courage to think he could challenge the gold-medal composer Wei Ran with such a cheesy pop song. Perhaps ignorance is bliss."

Hearing her sister belittling Zhou Yang again, Gao Xiaoyu immediately sat up straight and said:

"Sister, you're here again. Whether it's film and television dramas or pop music, no one ever says you have to pretend to be profound. You should know that there are both highbrow and lowbrow audiences."

Her words were so reasonable and well-founded that Qin Xue couldn't refute them. However, she still refused to admit defeat and said, "As soon as Zhou Yang is mentioned, your IQ automatically goes into negative numbers."

Gao Xiaoyu was worried that her father would ask about her relationship with Zhou Yang, so she had no choice but to keep quiet.

Unexpectedly, Qin Xianming, who was sitting next to her, automatically ignored their bickering. He looked at the stage with a calm gaze. Given his experience and age, he naturally wouldn't like a work like "Learning to Meow".

However, he turned his head and pointed at the stage, saying, "Director Pan, do you really think something like this can become popular online?"

Pan Mingqi chuckled a few times and said:

"I don't understand pop music, but I can say a few words about movies. I agree with what Xiaoyu just said. The art market needs both highbrow and lowbrow content. My previous films had high ratings, good reviews, and won a lot of awards, but they were box office failures, and we didn't even break even..."

He paused for a moment and continued, "On the contrary, some films that I consider to be mediocre, even terrible and vulgar, are being criticized by the outside world while simultaneously achieving ridiculously high box office returns. There's a saying in the music industry, 'Highbrow art is rarely appreciated'!"

Qin Xianming nodded and said, "That makes sense."

The six kittens jumped and sang, and since the summer heat hadn't subsided, by the time the whole performance ended, almost everyone's costumes were soaked with sweat.

However, none of them showed any signs of fatigue or dejection on their faces. Instead, their beautiful eyes were filled with excitement and determination. When the music stopped at the last second, the six kittens held hands and began to bow to the audience around the stage to express their gratitude.

The audience erupted in applause, and some even held up light boards that read "Candy Girls Group is the best" and "Go Candy!" Although it was at the behest of the production team, their performance had already won over the vast majority of the audience.

Many people even began to cup their hands together like megaphones and shout loudly towards the stage:

"Go Candy Girls!"

"Candy Girls Group is the best!"

"The six kittens are so cute!"

I love you guys so much!

"..."

As the six members stepped off the stage and returned to the dressing room, the remaining five surrounded Lin Youyou, their team leader. Qingqing, who had been so nervous that she frequently needed to use the restroom that afternoon, was the first to ask, "Youyou, did we...did we succeed this time?"

Lin Youyou tried hard to suppress her excitement, nodded vigorously, and said, "Our Candy girl group has won our first battle!"

"Yay!"

"I never dreamed I'd be where I am today."

"Perhaps Zhou Yang is watching us right now."

"I will never forget tonight's performance in my life."

"..."

The six kittens started chattering away, sharing their feelings, and the backstage area became a sea of ​​joy.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of Star Entertainment in Shanghai, Lei Mingkai and Wang Man remained in the conference room long after closing time.

At that moment, the large screen on the wall was broadcasting the premiere ceremony live, but after the Candy girl group left the stage, neither of them glanced at it again.

Wang Man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "President Lei, you can rest assured now, right?"

The premiere of director Pan Mingqi's film is a stage that many frustrated singers yearn for, but it happens to be almost Candy Girls' debut. As a result, General Manager Lei Mingkai listened intently all afternoon, afraid that these six girls would mess it up.

Lei Mingkai's expression didn't relax much; he remained serious and said, "This premiere ceremony is just the beginning; the real battle is just starting."

Wang Man understood what he meant. After all, this month they would be competing against Pop Music and Harmony Era, and their opponents would be Wei Ran and He Rui. They were at a significant disadvantage, even to the point of being completely outmatched by their opponents based on their strength.

Lei Mingkai then asked, "By the way, how's the rankings going today?"

"I've been watching both charts from morning till afternoon. The new song chart has consistently been in second place, but... the hot song chart isn't doing so well; the numbers are quite a bit lower compared to its competitors..."

Although tonight's performance is the stage debut of "Learn to Meow," the song has actually been available on major music platforms and short video apps since midnight.

Thanks to the strength of its competitors and the overwhelming publicity and promotion, coupled with the fact that no other big names in the music scene had released songs at the moment, "Mountain Peak" immediately topped the September new song chart and entered the top ten of the hot song chart within half a day.

As for "Learn to Meow," although you remained firmly in second place despite the new song strike, your download numbers were dozens of times lower than the other song.

Seeing that her boss was upset after hearing her answer, Wang Man subconsciously turned on her phone.

"Huh? This data... it's out of control?"

Wang Man was staring at her phone when she suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
