The Queen's Rumored Father

Chapter 14: One Night on the Charts, A New Song's Myth

The next morning, Xu Yuan was woken up by knocking on the door.

"Xu Yuan, get up! It's dawn!"

Chen Kewen was standing outside the door.

Xu Yuan dressed slowly and deliberately. Chen Kewen knocked on the door for at least half an hour before he finally opened it.

"You're only just waking up? I've been knocking on the door for an hour." Chen Kewen's hands were swollen.

"I've been awake for a while, doing my morning exercise. Your knocking was too loud, so I chose to wear headphones." Xu Yuan looked at Chen Kewen's menacing expression and asked, "You're supposed to be the second director, how can you manage on set if you're so unreliable?"

"What good news? Just tell me."

"Do you even care? Your songs... Xiaoxuan's song is a hit!" Chen Kewen noticed that Xu Yuan wasn't nervous at all. He opened his phone, logged into Weibo, and then threw the phone directly at Xu Yuan.

Among the top ten trending topics on Weibo, three contained Meng Xiaoxuan's name, five contained the phrase "Little Lucky," and eight contained the phrase "Little Queen."

He practically dominated the trending topics list!

The top comments were pinned to the top, and the headlines of entertainment news outlets were all about Xiao Xingyun and Meng Xiaoxuan.

Some even went so far as to publicly denounce Yang Ying, creating a sensational topic.

Entertainment Weekly: Overnight chart domination, Meng Xiaoxuan's new song "A Little Happiness" creates a contemporary new song legend!

Entertainment City Daily: Meng Xiaoxuan's response shows that she is the real lucky one!

Southern Entertainment Reporter: One myth defeats another, Meng Xiaoxuan steps over Yang Ying to top the new song chart!

Rampage Mini Event: Yang Ying's new song ranked third in one day and one night, while Meng Xiaoxuan's new song topped the charts overnight—the difference is too obvious!

Entertainment in Retrospect: Resources are not a problem, Meng Xiaoxuan tells you who the real pop diva is!

The news reports were all in unison, and public opinion was overwhelmingly one-sided.

It's not that Hua Ce and Yang Ying's online supporters weren't strong enough; it's just that the performance gap was too large.

Yang Ying's grades were actually very good, and in the past, they would have been highly praised.

But then, he encountered Meng Xiaoxuan's little stroke of luck.

Dominating the charts overnight—how long has it been since the music industry witnessed such a phenomenon?

The last person to do this was probably the legendary singer Dr. Chan, right?

"Thank you for your concern, Director Chen. And thank you for finding my number yesterday. I'll treat you to a drink sometime." Xu Yuan returned the phone to Chen Kewen and then walked to Meng Xiaoxuan's room on the same floor.

"Xiaoxuan, wake up!"

He plans to share this good news with his daughter, believing that encouragement-based education is currently the most scientific approach to education.

But to everyone's surprise, Xu Yuan knocked on nothing.

Then a figure rushed into his arms.

Meng Xiaoxuan jumped directly onto Xu Yuan.

"We did it! We did it! Wow, you're amazing! You're a god! A true god!"

Cough!

Chen Kewen almost choked and quickly turned around.

These two are getting increasingly brazen; it's time to... check if there are any paparazzi secretly filming in the hotel.

It's not just targeting Meng Xiaoxuan.

The songwriter and composer of "A Little Happiness" have also attracted widespread attention from netizens.

"Yan Zhenqing, who is this guy? I've never heard of him in the songwriting industry."

"As you can tell from the name, this is a ruthless character who is not afraid of being blacklisted by Hua Ce."

"You know what, the lyrics and music are really good, they have a kind of back-to-basics feel to them."

"With Meng Xiaoxuan finding such a top-notch lyricist and composer, at least she doesn't have to worry about the music aspect."

"Not necessarily. If Hua Ce could poach Wang Sicheng, they can certainly poach Yan Zhenqing too. It's simply a matter of money; they can just throw money at it!"

The internet was buzzing about this all day.

Hua Ce and Yang Ying absolutely hated Tencent Music's promotion last night.

However, Tencent Music also has a point: we did an extra promotion for you for free without charging you, and you still have complaints? If you really have complaints, we can just stop cooperating.

Hua Ce finally calmed down.

These days, distribution channels are king.

That evening, Meng Xiaoxuan posted on Weibo: "Thank you for those betrayals and oppressions, otherwise I would never have known that I still have such a little bit of luck by my side!"

In less than an hour, the Weibo post received over one million likes and over three hundred thousand reposts and comments, making it arguably the hottest topic of the day.

The victors always control the direction of public opinion.

Almost instantly, the question of whether Wang Sicheng was after his money was poached sparked heated debate.

The situation is becoming increasingly delicate.

At a crucial moment, Yang Ying posted another Weibo message: "So tired. I didn't expect the desert scenes in 'General and I' to be so difficult. But don't worry, everyone, no matter how hard or tiring it is, I will persevere and overcome it to create a good film that is worthy of the audience. As for other things, I'll put them aside for now. After 'General and I' finish filming, I will focus on producing a high-quality album to give back to my fans."

The accompanying picture is a selfie taken in the desert.

The implication is that Laozi is busy filming, so losing a song is no big deal since he didn't really put in his best effort anyway, and you got lucky.

After filming wrapped, everyone started comparing album sales!

Such stubbornness is tantamount to half-surrender.

It was a bit ugly, but at least it silenced the critics.

Otherwise, if public opinion continues to ferment, Wang Sicheng will most likely become cannon fodder.

Yang Ying was still hoping that Wang Sicheng would write two more songs for her.

Immediately, major media outlets acted as peacemakers, refusing to compare Meng Xiaoxuan and Yang Ying anymore. For the next two weeks, or even a month, Meng Xiaoxuan's popularity skyrocketed.

Yang Ying, on the other hand, seemed to have vanished.

This is actually not a bad thing.

On the contrary, this is where the importance of resources lies.

If Meng Xiaoxuan lost the same situation, she would be subjected to a month-long media onslaught. Just one incident could plunge her into utter ruin.

However, if Yang Ying loses, no one will dare to kick her while she's down. This is because Huace and the major media outlets have already handled the public relations; just report what you need to report and don't say anything inappropriate.

Two or three months later, he'll be a hero again.

The difference between large and small companies is that obvious.

Meng Xiaoxuan, who works in a small company, has to keep winning! She can't afford to lose!

……

In music, making and promoting a song usually only takes a day or two.

Afterwards, Meng Xiaoxuan continued to focus on filming, and Xu Yuan helped her turn down many invitations to music programs and talk shows. But it was precisely this situation that stimulated the listeners of "Little Lucky".

Everyone listened to it again and again, and Meng Xiaoxuan's various shouts echoed in their minds.

Their curiosity will not be satisfied until Meng Xiaoxuan comes out to tell her story.

As a result, for a long time to come, Little Lucky will be prominently featured on various lists.

Three days later, "A Little Happiness" broke into the top ten of the pop music charts, eventually reaching the top spot and remaining there for two days. This brought a perfect end to the battle for the new song by the rising star.

In recent years, no musician from outside the top tier has been able to top the pop charts!

Meng Xiaoxuan's fan base, which had been somewhat waning, has grown again, and her popularity has remained at the level it was during the Spring Festival Gala, making her a great success!

A sudden crisis, thanks to a song, has propelled Meng Xiaoxuan's music career and popularity forward instead of causing them to regress!

On set.

"Director Chen, Director Cao."

During a break in filming, Xu Yuan chatted casually with the two directors for a few minutes.

"Xu Yuan, Hua Ce is sending people everywhere looking for you. He wants to commission a song from you, saying he'll pay you 500,000 yuan per song," Cao Dun joked.

"That's Yan Zhenqing, what does it have to do with me?" Xu Yuan smiled slightly, everyone saw through it but didn't say anything.

Chen Kewen said, "I heard you helped Xiaoxuan turn down a lot of shows? I agree with your arrangement. At this point, it's just a single song, so it can only be considered a small victory."

"Winning first doesn't guarantee victory; the one who laughs last is the true winner. Before the album is released, it's right for Hsiao-Hsuan to keep a low profile."

"Yes, that makes sense." Cao Dun nodded in agreement.

Xu Yuan looked at the two of them and laughed, "Aren't you saying this because you're worried that Xiaoxuan will be filming multiple projects at once and delaying the filming schedule in Chang'an?"

Cough!

Chen Kewen and Cao Dun were choked half to death.

Xu Yuan always manages to grasp the key points.

Taking on multiple projects simultaneously proves you're popular, and some people are even proud of it.

However, taking on multiple projects simultaneously is also self-destructive, affecting the quality of one's work, and is something some people consider shameful.

Different celebrities have different perspectives on this matter.

Although I still don't understand what the relationship is between Xu Yuan and Meng Xiaoxuan.

However, from the perspective of career planning, Xu Yuan has done a very good job.

With his help, Meng Xiaoxuan might actually have a chance to become a true A-list star after the hype dies down!

Of course, if Xu Yuan knew what the two were thinking, he would definitely scoff at it.

What happens after the traffic dissipates?

Why can't you be a little bolder?

Why let the traffic dissipate?

Why are people so happy about just one first-tier city?

right?

People should have dreams.

Riding dreams like horses, the more you ride, the sillier you become—no, that's how you truly roam the world!
