The Queen's Rumored Father

The development of songs in this world is really not that great.

Xu Yuan had just seen Wang Sicheng's previous works, and to be honest, they were quite mediocre. He's probably a hundred Li Ronghaos short of Jay Chou's level.

Xu Yuan could probably handle any of the classic songs in his head.

Look for songs by singers who exist on Earth but not in this world.

It's really not difficult.

"Get a good night's sleep. You only have scenes to film in the morning tomorrow. Practice with me for a while in the afternoon, and then we'll upload the demo online. Easy and fun!" Xu Yuan comforted Meng Xiaoxuan with a smile.

Since things had come to this point, there was no need to continue the meal, and everyone dispersed.

……

The next morning, the entire crew was watching Meng Xiaoxuan out of the corner of their eyes, putting her under a lot of psychological pressure. A simple scene ended up requiring many takes before it was barely passable.

"Have you heard? Yang Ying released the title track from her album as a single, and I heard it's a hit!"

"I listened to it, and it is indeed nice, but the style feels more suitable for Xiaoxuan."

"It was originally a song for Xiaoxuan, but the lyricist and composer were poached by Huace, so the song became Yang Ying's."

"You mean 'Born to Work Hard,' that song that topped the new song chart today? It's already at number ten on the chart, and it's the talk of the town online!"

"Released a song last night, and it's already tenth on the new song chart this morning? Wow, that's such a shame! This song is going to be a huge hit!"

"Xiaoxuan is having such a bad time. When it comes to acting, other actresses get lead roles in big productions, while she can only play a pseudo-lead role in our ensemble piece. When it comes to singing, someone else just took her best song. That's the difference in resources."

"What are we going to do now? After this loss, Xiaoxuan is destined to be overshadowed by Yang Ying in the future. It's upsetting."

Most of the crew members actually sided with Meng Xiaoxuan, since they all got along well with her, and who wouldn't want their acquaintance to be more capable?

However, this attention still drove Meng Xiaoxuan to the brink of collapse.

She suddenly understood what her dad had told her about attention and mindset yesterday.

Attention and criticism can indeed crush a person.

This is still well-intentioned!

Just think, what if this was malicious? How terrifying would that be?

boom!

Just as Meng Xiaoxuan was feeling increasingly frightened, a pink electric scooter rushed into the film set.

"Get on the bus!"

Wearing a pink Peppa Pig helmet, Xu Yuan patted his mount and gestured for Meng Xiaoxuan to get on.

Looking at Xu Yuan's appearance, not only Meng Xiaoxuan, but even Cao Dun and the others almost burst out laughing.

Is this guy really Xu Yuan, the film set bully who took down more than a dozen actors in three seconds yesterday?

What's going on today?

He was willing to go to any lengths to make Meng Xiaoxuan happy.

"Where are we going?" Meng Xiaoxuan put on her helmet, sat down, and hugged her father tightly.

"Recording studio!"

boom!

The pink electric scooter sped away, making onlookers envious and jealous.

With an electric scooter that costs no more than 3,000 yuan on the market, he actually managed to take away Meng Xiaoxuan, who is currently very popular. Men should really feel ashamed.

Lei Jiayin watched her female idol leave with Xu Yuan, then looked at her brand-new BMW, which she had just bought for 700,000 yuan, and couldn't understand it at all.

Where do you think the problem lies?

It can't be about looks, can it?

I, Lei Jiayin, also make a living based on my looks!

……

When Meng Xiaoxuan returned in the evening, her face was rosy and she looked much better.

The film crew members at the hotel were amazed when they saw it.

You know, Xu Yuan is really capable.

However, this is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure.

In just one day, Yang Ying's new song "Born to Work Hard" has reached number five on the new song chart. This achievement would place her in the top ten in the last two years!

This means that, normally, a month later, this song will be heard everywhere.

More than ten of these kinds of songs are released every year, and one song can earn enough to make two or three years' worth of money. In fact, some people can even live off just one song like this for a lifetime!

Any singer who encounters a song like this is incredibly lucky. Conversely, any singer who misses out on a song like this will regret it terribly!

Yang Ying, as expected, was not one to back down. She directly posted a provocative Weibo post: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your new song. It's such a great piece of work. I really don't understand why anyone would nitpick and find fault with it."

Wang Sicheng then replied: Yes, but thankfully. No one else could really capture this feeling in this song.

Fans gave their posts a lot of likes on Weibo.

Everyone knows who they're talking about.

Besides Meng Xiaoxuan, who else is so blind?

After a while, the matter was settled. Topics like Meng Xiaoxuan throwing her weight around and losing the lead single were everywhere.

What the onlookers had no idea was that it was Wang Sicheng who ran away with the song; he was the traitor.

……

In Meng Xiaoxuan's room, Xu Yuan sat in front of the computer, turned to look at Meng Xiaoxuan, and said, "Sent?"

"Yes, send it!" Meng Xiaoxuan nodded heavily.

The song her dad made her sing that afternoon really shocked her.

The quality is too high!

I never expected my dad to have such musical taste and talent. No wonder I have such musical talent. At first, I thought I was a mutation, but it turns out it's hereditary!

With her father's support, she was confident that she could go toe-to-toe with Yang Ying!

"I'm going out to talk to Director Chen about tomorrow's scenes. You stay here and keep an eye on things; I reckon there will be some changes within an hour!" Xu Yuan pointed to the screen, then turned and left Meng Xiaoxuan's room.

On the screen, the new song has been successfully uploaded to Tencent Music, the authentication process is complete, and the copyright registration is finished.

Backstage play count: 1...10...100...500!

It's incredibly fast!

However, at the same time, the amount in Xu Yuan's e-wallet was also decreasing rapidly.

Boom boom boom!

Xu Yuan knocked on Chen Kewen's door.

After Chen Kewen opened the door, he wrote down a number for Xu Yuan.

"Thank you, Director Chen." Xu Yuan sat down in Chen Kewen's room and dialed a number.

"It's what I should do, after all, Xiaoxuan was also dragged down by our crew," Chen Kewen said. "But why do you need the phone number of a junior editor at a music website? I searched for ages and had to ask around to find it."

Xu Yuan put his index finger to his lips, signaling Chen Kewen to be quiet.

The phone is on.

"Hello, is this the editor from Lemon Pictures? I'm Xu Yuan, Meng Xiaoxuan's agent... I'm not a scammer. I got this number through Chen Kewen, the director from CTV. He got it from the head of your Tencent Music's publicity department. You can confirm it later."

"Yes, it really is Meng Xiaoxuan. It's like this... no, no, no, you don't need to do anything extra. Just give this song a regular recommendation. If the play count is amazing after half an hour, then go to your boss and tell him the plan I just gave you... If it doesn't work out, you've only bothered him for five minutes after get off work, it's no big deal. But if it does work out... no problem, if we have a chance to meet, I think Xiaoxuan would be happy to take a picture with your son... Well, goodbye, I'll wait for your good news."

beep!

Xu Yuan hung up the phone.

clap clap clap!

Chen Kewen clapped his hands.

The conversation between Xu Yuan and Ning Meng just now made him feel as if he were seeing his past self.

Through Xu Yuan's words, you will soon find yourself on the path he has laid out for you, and the crucial point is that you cannot refuse. Because the wonderful things he describes are exactly what you have been longing for day and night.

Chen Kewen is truly impressed by this move.

"How can you be sure she'll do what you say and won't leak the information to gossip reporters or Huace Media?" This was Chen Kewen's only concern.

Keep in mind that the value of such a revelation could very well reach six figures!

"It's very simple. An editor at a music website who changed jobs five times in three years, climbing the ladder step by step, is a smart person," Xu Yuan said. "If you pay close attention, you'll notice that I just mentioned the same place name five times in a row."

"So what?" Chen Kewen asked, puzzled. It was precisely because of Ningmeng's rise that he couldn't believe in Ningmeng.

This is an employee with no loyalty.

If Lemon Pictures does as Xu Yuan says, they might profit, but if they leak information, they will definitely profit.

The latter is more secure, isn't it?

"That place is the street where her son's kindergarten is located. Anyone can analyze this information through her WeChat Moments and posts," Xu Yuan said with a smile. "I just told her that Xiaoxuan also likes children."

"You threatened her?" Chen Kewen's expression changed.

Isn't that illegal?

"You're being too sensitive. I'm just helping her eliminate some incorrect options," Xu Yuan said while chatting with Chen Kewen and refreshing the recommendations on the Penguin Music new song page.

Soon, a song appeared on an inconspicuous new song recommendation page on Penguin Music.

Song title: A Little Happiness.

Original singer: Meng Xiaoxuan.

Lyricist and composer: Yan Zhenqing.
