He was in college, but his songs were at the Grammys.

Industry insiders are basically all paying attention to this big battle.

But I never expected it to end like this!

When Chen Ming reached the top spot.

The people in the industry group were still a bit dazed and couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

"They really got first place? That's incredible!"

"Mom, now the name Chen Ming is really etched into my heart."

"Brilliant Galaxy has truly avenged itself this time!"

"A song that only had two days of pre-release hype, yet it's being heavily promoted and hyped by two top companies for half a month—this is something to brag about for a year!"

"I want to calculate the psychological trauma experienced by Shen Yuewan and Sun Hong."

"Let's snatch the bamboo shoots!"

"By the way, where are those two? Why don't they show up?"

"..."

bubble?!

The two of them were no longer in the mood for chatting.

Both of them are currently withdrawn.

StarTraces Entertainment.

Sun Hong was hiding in General Manager Sun's office, frantically chewing on books as if he were biting Chen Ming, who had stolen his list.

"Chen Ming!! Where did this Chen Ming come from?!"

"Uncle, do you think Chen Ming is deliberately trying to bring me bad luck?! He beat my debut song in just two days!"

"I'm not reconciled!"

Mr. Sun was also having a headache looking at his nephew like this.

He hadn't expected Chen Ming, this dark horse, to be so terrifying.

The song quality is surprisingly high.

But his younger brother only has one son, so what can he do? He can only spoil him.

"It's alright, little Tong. Your uncle will avenge you. Chen Ming will definitely release songs in the future. When that happens, your uncle will find a top songwriter to write a song for you! We'll target him! We'll crush him! So what if he has original songs? Can he beat a top songwriter?"

"Really, Uncle?" Sun Hong turned around, biting his book, and looked at Sun Hong with a pitiful expression.

Sun Hong nodded emphatically, patting his chest: "It's all covered!"

Sun Hong immediately perked up!

He couldn't wait to take Chen Ming off the list.

"Holy crap! Uncle, you're so smart! You're the best person I've ever seen at targeting other people's new songs! No wonder you're my uncle! A genius!"

"You think you can do that?! Don't you even know who your uncle is?! We, uncle and nephew, are invincible!"

"Hahahaha! Invincible!"

that's it.

The uncle and nephew stood in front of the French windows, arms around each other, laughing heartily.

It's as if I can already see the happy times when they'll take down Chen Ming with songs written by top-notch songwriters!

The two of them laughed loudly.

It was so loud that even the employees of StarTraces Entertainment who passed by Sun Hong's office could hear it.

How can someone who's been humiliated on the newcomer rankings still be laughing so happily?

An employee passing by heard this and couldn't help but gasp.

"After the general manager and Sun Hong were killed by Chen Ming of Brilliant Galaxy, they seemed to have gone a bit crazy."

......

the other side.

Shen Yuewan had already collapsed onto the sofa.

His eyes were empty and silent, staring at the ceiling.

I feel so sad and want to cry.

But she's already a grown woman.

Can't cry.

You have to be patient.

They had clearly already won over Sun Hong!

Where did Chen Ming come from?!

Like a cannibalistic demon, it slaughtered indiscriminately!

Now, let alone first place, there's not even second place left.

Shen Yuewan sighed, "Life seems a bit boring."

Agent Zhou sat in front of Shen Yuewan with a worried look on her face.

Hearing Shen Yuewan's remark, she immediately reacted sharply: "No! Yuewan, don't say such frightening things!"

Shen Yuewan felt a little better.

She didn't really feel that life was boring.

It was just to scare his own manager.

Who told my agent to tell me to pop champagne at halftime?

Should!

Shen Yuewan looked down at the leaderboard on her phone.

She admitted that she had been careless this time and hadn't dodged.

But next time!

She's determined to win over Chen Ming next time!

......

Human sorrows and joys are not interlinked.

Compared to Tingxian Entertainment and Xingji Entertainment, the entire marketing department of Brilliant Galaxy was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

On the screen, the top spot on the Cool Music Newcomer Chart was prominently displayed.

1. "Big City, Small Love" - ​​Chen Ming - Brilliant Galaxy Entertainment

Views: 634 million

Number of comments: 8.7

Number of favorites: 98

The data is still growing at a visible rate.

Sun Hong's "Summer Night Breeze," which was originally ranked second with 587 million views, has now fallen behind.

Next, Shen Yuewan's "Phantom Day" ranked third with 566 million views.

"Two years." A veteran employee took off his glasses, let out a long sigh, and said, "Two years without being number one on the newcomer rankings, finally..."

The marketing department has been under a lot of pressure in the past two years.

Every monthly summary meeting, I see that my company's name is not in the top ten of the newcomer list, I see the open or veiled jokes in the industry group, and I see the smug promotional press releases of our competitors.

Only they themselves know the frustration they felt.

It's not that we haven't tried, it's not that we haven't promoted promising talents.

But that's how the entertainment industry is; sometimes all it takes is a little bit of luck, that little bit of "explosive" opportunity.

Until Chen Ming appeared.

Until "Big City, Small Love" came out of nowhere.

A younger colleague next to the veteran employee patted him on the shoulder forcefully, somewhat excitedly: "Brother, we did it!"

The veteran employee smiled, not taking credit: "It's all thanks to Chen Ming! We haven't fought such an easy 'battle' in the past two years!"

That's why I say it's easy.

The main reason is that Chen Ming's song is of such high quality.

Recommending it is incredibly efficient.

"Quiet down, everyone! Quiet down!"

Marketing Director Wang Hai walked out of his office with an undisguised smile on his face, but he tried his best to maintain his authority as a leader: "It's only the beginning of the month, there are still more than twenty days to go, don't be too happy."

That's what he said, but the upturned corners of his mouth betrayed him.

Based on the current rate of increase of "Big City, Small Love".

After more than twenty days, they've probably already left everyone else far behind.

"Director, shouldn't we celebrate?" someone suggested.

"Exactly! After working so many overtime days, we should at least show some appreciation, right?"

Wang Hai cleared his throat and waved his hand, "Alright! We'll have a department lunch today, it's on me! You guys choose the place!"

"Long live the Director!!!"

The cheers nearly lifted the ceiling off.

On the floor where the general manager's office is located, the atmosphere is much more restrained, but the joy permeating the air is just as real and tangible.

On the large screen in front of Song He, the data fluctuations of several of the company's main new songs were being displayed in real time.

The curve of "Big City, Small Love" is like a bamboo shoot breaking through the soil in early spring, rising straight upwards with an almost stubborn posture.

The assistant knocked gently on the door and came in: "Mr. Song, all the department heads have arrived, and the meeting room is ready."

"Okay." Song He turned around, placed the teacup on the table, straightened his suit cuffs, and smiled a long-lost smile. "Let's go."

The long table in the conference room was already full of people.

The core members of each department, including the composition department, artist department, marketing department, and public relations department, were all present.

They were talking in hushed tones, their eyes shining.

When Song He pushed open the door and walked in, the conference room fell silent instantly.

All eyes were on him.

Song He walked to the head seat, but did not sit down immediately. Instead, he placed his hands on the table and slowly scanned each face with his eyes.

He remained silent for a few seconds, as if gathering his emotions.

Then he spoke, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears:

"First of all, I would like to thank everyone here, as well as all the colleagues who have worked hard on this project."

"It's been two years."

"For two whole years, our Brilliant Galaxy team has never been number one on the monthly newcomer ranking."

"I know that everyone has been under a lot of pressure these past two years, from industry discussions and competition to internal doubts about resources... I am aware of all of these."

At this point, his gaze softened: "But today, I want to tell everyone that all the perseverance and all the waiting were worthwhile."

"The fact that 'Big City, Small Love' topped the newcomer chart proves that we still have the strength of a top entertainment company, and we should not underestimate ourselves."

Song He turned his gaze to Anya, who was sitting in the middle of the right side.

Anya wore a light gray business suit today, her hair was neatly pulled back, her makeup was exquisite, and her expression was calm.

But if you look closely, you can see that she has a smile on her lips.

"Here, I would like to give special thanks to Anya." Song He's voice was full of praise. "As Chen Ming's manager, she did an excellent job in everything from discovering and signing him to subsequent training and promotion. Especially when the timing of the promotional launch was not advantageous, she accurately judged the song's highlights and formulated a 'seed route' promotional strategy, which ultimately led to such success."

All eyes turned to Anya.

There was admiration, envy, and sincere congratulations.

Anya bowed slightly, her voice steady: "Thank you, President Song. It's what I should do. It's my luck to meet an artist like Chen Ming."

She spoke very sincerely.

A burst of laughter filled the conference room.

"Of course." Song He looked at everyone again, "The biggest contributor is Chen Ming himself."

His tone became serious: "A 19-year-old freshman can write such a mature work, has such solid singing skills, and more importantly, his sincerity and focus on music. These are the fundamental reasons why 'Big City, Small Love' can touch the audience."

"Therefore, today's meeting is both a celebration of our achievements and a mobilization meeting."

Song He straightened up, his gaze sharpening: "Love in a Big City is a good start, but this is not the end."

"All departments need to work closely together to develop a long-term development plan around Chen Ming. The composition department should pay attention to his creative trends, the artist department should manage his image and fan base, the marketing department should maintain the publicity momentum, and the public relations department should monitor public opinion..."

Each instruction was clear and unambiguous.

Only Song He's voice and the scratching sound of pen tips gliding across paper remained in the meeting room.

Everyone listened very attentively.

Because they knew that this time, the company was truly going all out.

"Big City, Small Love" has already proven Chen Ming's talent.

Now it's their turn to demonstrate the strength of a top-tier brokerage firm.

The meeting lasted for more than an hour.

At the end, Song He specifically called out to Anya.

After everyone else left the meeting room, Song He walked to An Ya's side, his serious expression fading in exchange for a gentle, elder-like smile.

"Anya, you've worked hard," he said.

Anya shook her head: "It's not hard work, President Song. Chen Ming is very easy to manage. I hardly need to worry about anything outside of business."

"I heard that after recording the song last time, this kid went straight back to class and studied very hard. He rarely even comes to the company." A hint of curiosity flashed in Song He's eyes. "Such a focused newcomer is indeed rare these days."

As if suddenly remembering something, he smiled and said, "By the way, next time Chen Ming comes to the company, remember to call me. I haven't met this kid in person yet, so bring him to meet me."

An Ya then remembered that President Song had face blindness and couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, President Song, I will definitely let you know in advance next time Chen Ming comes."

Song He nodded, then left with his thermos.

After walking a distance, he immediately took out his phone.

I sent two messages in the previous "industry trend" peer group.

【Brilliant Galaxy Songhe】: Screenshot of the top newcomer ranking.JPG

【Brilliant Galaxy Songhe】: "Gentlemen, I'm so lucky, thank you for your kind consideration."

[General Manager Zhao of Tingxian Entertainment]: "I knew it! You old fool!! Don't you dare let me run into you offline!"

[Sun, CEO of Xingji Entertainment]: "That's too cunning! Old Song, you just wait, I'll get my revenge!"

[Wang, General Manager of Mohai Records]: "Old Song really went a bit too far this time! You've really fooled our brothers."

Song He looked at the impotent rage of his colleagues in the group.

Feel comfortable.

He didn't care how they cursed him anymore.

I exited WeChat and opened my phone's photo album.

The first picture in the album is of Chen Ming.

He needs to memorize Chen Ming's face before Chen Ming comes to the company again.

Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing to mistake someone for someone else!

Seeing Song He walk away, Anya turned and left as well.

However, he walks with a swagger.

She was going to call Chen Ming and give him a big compliment.

......

In the dormitory.

Chen Ming's ears were throbbing from the roars of Tang Yuan and Zhou Xu.

Holy crap! That's awesome!!!

When Chen Ming's "Big City, Small Love" topped the charts for newcomer songs.

Tang Yuan and Zhou Xu's exclamations were really loud.

The two of them have been keeping an eye on the rankings these past few days!

I just want to see how far Chen Ming can go!

Unexpectedly, Chen Ming fought his way through the competition and made it to first place!

Despite facing fierce competition from two top entertainment companies, they still managed to fight their way to number one!

That's awesome!

"Ming-ge! You're my god!!!"

Tang Yuan and Zhou Xu couldn't help but shout wildly, genuinely happy for Chen Ming, and even excitedly threw a bunch of wild punches.

At the same time.

The class group chat was buzzing with excitement!
