In mainland China, where the entertainment industry is at its peak, new songs are released every day.

Some will draw a colorful stroke on the gray path of life.

And some are just passing clouds, leaving no trace after dissipating.

This circle is both glorious and cold-blooded.

A hotel in Yanjing.

Cheng Xia leaned comfortably on the sofa with her headphones on, and the song entered single loop mode.

Headphones are her safe haven. No matter how big the trouble is, as long as she puts on the headphones, the whole world has nothing to do with her.

She is still the same young girl as before

Nothing has changed

Time is just a test

The faith planted in my heart has not diminished at all

The boy in front of me

Still the same face as before

No matter how many difficulties and dangers you face, never give up

Cheng Xia has already replaced herself in the song.

My younger self seemed to be alive again before my eyes.

That young man who is not thinking about competing for the charts, not thinking about fame and fortune, but just pursuing his music dream.

Cheng Xia closed her eyes with a slight smile on her lips.

At this moment, Cheng Xia seemed to have lost the concept of time.

At this moment, the door was opened from the outside.

"Oh, my little aunt, why are you hiding here? I'm looking for you everywhere." Wei Zi hurried in and saw Cheng Xia lying on the sofa as soon as he entered the door.

Until he came closer, Cheng Xia didn't react at all. She still had her eyes closed and a smile on her lips.

Wei Zi asked eagerly, "Xia Xia, what's wrong with you?"

Because he was standing close, Wei Zi's voice rose another octave. Cheng Xia slowly opened his eyes and took off his headphones.

"Actually, everyone is a teenager." Cheng Xia said with a smile.

Wei Zi was stunned by Cheng Xia's sudden words.

"What boy?"

Cheng Xia smiled and shook his head.

"Are you looking for me?" Cheng Xia asked.

Wei Zi let out a long breath and sat down on the sofa.

"I bought a marketing account and asked them to use your new song as the soundtrack for the short video and post it on WeChat. Since we didn't win the ranking, we will save the country by making the song popular first."

This is the best solution Wei Zi can think of.

Wei Zi is Modern Fruit’s top manager and has many artists under his management.

As the saying goes, ten fingers are not even as long as one side. Parents can't even handle a bowl of water, let alone an agent.

Wei Zi admires Cheng Xia very much.

Many people say that those who make it into the top five of the emerging list are all very capable, but whoever gets the first place in the end is just lucky.

Wei Zi believes in the first half of the sentence, the top five are all capable.

But I didn’t believe the second half of the sentence.

Because Cheng Xia's number one is not based on luck, but on strength within strength.

Every year, the emerging list is a fierce competition among the five major entertainment companies.

Different from the new songs list every month, the emerging list reserved for newcomers only happens once a year.

His performance on the Rising Stars list marks the starting point of his debut.

The level of this starting point determines the resources that can be obtained from the company in the future, as well as the exposure on major platforms.

Even if they are in the top three, the exposure of the first place and the second place is absolutely different.

Therefore, each company will promote one as a competition for the first place, and the rest are just to occupy more positions on the list.

The seed player of Modern Fruit at that time was not Cheng Xia.

It's another female singer named Wei Wei.

The female singer had done live broadcasts on Weiyin before signing the contract, so she already had some fan base.

He is a relatively well-known internet celebrity and has his own traffic.

Modern Fruit signed her contract because of her status as an Internet celebrity.

That's why I placed my bet on her.

At that time, the company made a song tailor-made for her.

Wei Wei is good at singing and dancing. She used to sing and dance when doing live broadcasts.

The song customized for her has a strong rhythm.

I thought Wei Wei would definitely be the perfect candidate for Modern Fruit to hit the top spot.

Until Cheng Xia appeared.

At that time, although Cheng Xia had a good voice, not many people paid attention to it.

She graduated from the Composition Department of Yanjing Conservatory of Music and later changed her career as a singer. After signing with Modern Fruit, she has remained unknown.

All signed singers who have not released a single and have works can participate in the Emerging Chart.

It was in this environment that Cheng Xia joined the competition for the new talent list.

And her work was not prepared by the company at all, and even Wei Zi had never heard of this song.

It is a work Cheng Xia created by himself when he was in college.

He is such an unknown person and an unknown work.

He actually overcame all obstacles and rushed to the first place.

And there is a cliff-like gap with the second place.

Only then did Wei Zi notice Cheng Xia.

What's even more valuable is that Cheng Xia is a low-key person who never likes to celebrate success and won't conflict with other newcomers in the same company.

Weizi has been an agent for so many years and has met so many different kinds of people.

With such a pure-hearted girl, Wei Zi naturally hopes that she can have a successful career.

But because Cheng Xia was too Buddhist about work, she was unwilling to go to many announcements arranged by the company. Because she suddenly broke out of the siege and won the first place on the rookie list, she inevitably became the target of public criticism.

The jealousy of fellow disciples and the hatred of the defeated are inevitable.

This kind of bullying incident is a common occurrence in the entertainment industry, and usually turns into a fight.

But Cheng Xia let the rumors stop with the wise, ignored them, and did not fight back.

This kind of behavior is indeed what a gentleman does.

But it also affected her career.

A lie told a thousand times will become true.

Too many people are attacking Cheng Xia online.

The new songs he released were criticized, the products he endorsed were criticized, and even the variety shows he participated in were boycotted.

The company's top management gradually shifted resources to other artists.

The new song originally given to Cheng Xia was given to other singers.

Relying on Wei Zi's connections, Cheng Xia can still maintain the most basic exposure.

But as a singer, the most important thing is your work.

Wei Zi is not Zhang Huaqiang yet, so he cannot hire gold medal musicians to tailor songs for the young newcomer.

There is no way, Cheng Xia relies on her own original songs to carry herself.

Everything sounds mediocre.

Originally, I could compete in the new song list this month, but Lin Yu stopped me again.

Wei Zi really felt sorry for Cheng Xia.

That’s why I bought a marketing account, hoping to increase the popularity of Cheng Xia’s new songs through another channel.

Cheng Xia smiled gently and said, "Thank you, Teacher Weizi."

"Oh, why are you thanking me? I took care of you. When you blush, my face lights up." Wei Zi rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. He was not Cheng Xia's manager before. In fact, he saw

Cheng Xia got the first place on the rookie list, so she recruited her as his subordinate.

Even so, he still worked hard for Cheng Xia.

"Please withdraw your marketing account." Cheng Xia said calmly.

When Cheng Xia heard this, the smile on her face disappeared immediately, and she almost jumped up in anger, "Why?"

Cheng Xia still looked calm, "I don't think it's necessary."

"Why is it not necessary? Your song is very suitable to be used as a soundtrack in a short video. Several big Vs have already posted it, and I think it is good after listening to it. Netizens like to follow the trend and will definitely follow suit." Weizi was full of confidence.
