Chapter 46: Was a Newcomer Again
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
December was the month for the New Talent Rankings.
Any newcomer who released a song during this month could apply to participate in the New Talent Rankings. The ranking would be calculated based on the frequency of the airplay of the song during this period.
After the ranking was calculated, the top three newcomers would be invited to the awards ceremony to receive their trophies.
The reason the New Talent Rankings were so important, was because it would culminate in a live broadcast of the King of Song and the Queen of Song. It would be an unprecedented event. This was a good opportunity for newcomers to show their faces.
On the afternoon of the new song’s release, the excited singer, Xia Zhi, came to Fang Mo’er to express her gratitude.
“Teacher Fang, thank you so much for choosing me to sing this song. No matter what the results are, you will always be very important to me!”
As she said this, Xia Zhi bowed heavily towards Fang Mo’er.
Her cautious attitude made Fang Mo’er laugh.
At that moment, Bai Rong snorted disdainfully as she walked past. “Do you really think that your song will win the championship? Don’t even think about it! This time, the champion will definitely be me!”
When she said this, both Fang Mo’er and Xia Zhi were a little confused.
Xia Zhi asked in confusion, “Miss Bai, you must be mistaken. We’re talking about the New Talent Rankings. It’s a competition for newcomers.”
Bai Rong was an artist who had already debuted for many years. She couldn’t possibly appear on the New Talent Rankings, right?
Fang Mo’er saw Bai Rong fiddling with a disk in her hand.
There had to be a newly recorded song contained inside.
She had heard that the company had recently spent a lot of money to hire other arrangers to write new songs for Bai Rong. This arranger was the other company’s ace arranger, Bai Liang.
In the music industry, as long as different companies could afford to spend money, they could cooperate with each other, even if it was a rival company.
According to the novel, Bai Rong, the female lead in the book, was really lucky. First, she had Bai Liang, the composer, write songs for her. After that, many opportunities would allow her to be chosen by a film director, which led to her becoming the female lead in her first acting role. Endorsements, awards, all quickly followed.
Fang Mo’er felt a little depressed.
She also wanted to be as lucky as Bai Rong. She wished to reach the pinnacle of the entertainment industry using her face.
Bai Rong was no longer in a sorry state and was now exuding a confident glow. “Fang Mo’er, you might not know this, but I’ve changed my stage name and debuted as a newcomer. My first song will be released today. So, your song can only make way for me.”
“Ah!?”
Xia Zhi’s mouth was wide open in shock.
Her senior was going to be on the New Talent Rankings chart and it would be a huge blow to her.
Fang Mo’er felt that she had never seen such a shameless thing in her entire life. She had learned a lot today.
“I heard that because of the boycott, your songs had basically been taken off the shelves. No wonder you had to change your stage name! It’s not easy to rise up again!” Fang Mo’er smirked as she patted Bai Rong on the shoulder.
After that, Fang Mo’er left with Xia Zhi.
Bai Rong’s expression froze momentarily.
She stared at Fang Mo’er’s back with hatred. She had been blacklisted by the entire Internet. In the end, the company had decided to remove all the songs that had been auto-tuned from the shelves and release new songs at her true level!
However, the reason she was so unlucky was all because of Fang Mo’er! It was because she had sung on the same stage as Fang Mo’er that she was tarnished by the comparison.
In the arrangement department.
All the colleagues were paying attention to the rankings on the New Talent Rankings chart.
Everyone was listening especially to Fang Mo’er’s song, which contributed to the number of views.
“Our company’s song has risen quite quickly. It should be able to enter the top five!”
“Be more confident. I think this song will be able to enter the top three without any problems.”
“This song is extremely magical. It’s clearly exhausting, but it makes people want to challenge it! I’ve listened to it several times.”
By the afternoon, Fang Mo’er’s song “Air” had climbed into the top three and continued to rise.
Supervisor Qi was very satisfied. He said kindly to Fang Mo’er, “I knew it. Your songs are truly hit-worthy. Many singers in our company have become popular only after singing your songs.”
Two years ago especially, Bai Rong had officially debuted only by singing Fang Mo’er’s songs.
Fang Mo’er’s expression was indifferent. “Supervisor, you do know that Bai Rong also wants to be on the New Talent Rankings chart, right?”
Supervisor Qi’s expression stiffened and he coughed. “This is a temporary decision made by the company.”
After all, the New Talent Rankings chart awards were broadcast live across the country. It was the equivalent of a free advertisement.
If Bai Rong wanted to be popular again within a short period of time, it was natural that she would grab hold of this opportunity.
Fang Mo’er sighed, “Sigh, with Bai Rong’s current fame, her songs will definitely be very popular! I didn’t expect it. I really didn’t expect it. I just don’t know if she will be able to win first place.”
“You don’t think Bai Rong will get first place?”
Fang Mo’er shook her head, she lowered her head and said softly, “Actually, I’m more optimistic about the Veiled Queen. Her song was released during the selection of the new talent list.. Isn’t she also a newcomer? Moreover, this song is already number one on various charts.”
