Chapter 258 – The News About The New Program

On Friday, after more than a week of impact, “Across the Ocean to See You” finally topped the new song bestseller chart compiled by the copyright organization!

Winning this battle wasn’t easy, after all, before this, the top spot on this list in early November had always been occupied by the first-line male singer Ye Qing’s “Heart’s Firework”. “Heart’s Fireworks” was also an excellent love song, with catchy and romantic lyrics that really attracted a lot of fan-girls for Ye Qing, who was on the idol singer route.

However, Mo Fei ultimately defeated Ye Qing. Who could resist “Across the Ocean to See You” which was popular among both men and women?

After reaching the top, the people at Tianmei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the song had previously topped other charts like the “Music Power Chart” and the “Radio Request Chart,” none of these charts had as much influence as this new song bestseller list. Behind it stood a behemoth-like copyright organization, with widespread recognition in major music publications and websites, demonstrating its significant influence.

“Congratulations, Sister Mo Fei!”

“Amazing, go, Sister Fei!”

“We believe in you, Sister Fei, waiting for your return to the peak!”

Mo Fei was now on the trend of returning to a top-tier singer. When she returned in the afternoon, people in the company, whether it was innocent employees or other stars and agents with certain competitive relationships, all expressed congratulations to her.

Mo Xiaojuan, who was following behind, looked at the hypocritical smiling faces of the latter group, completely unlike the way everyone wanted to step on Mo Fei when she was down. She felt a wave of disgust in her heart.

“Thank you,” Mo Fei responded calmly. Although she also knew the true faces of these people, she does not hit a person who offers a smile. Mo Fei’s personality wasn’t as extreme as Mo Xiaojuan’s, so she responded lightly.

“Sister Fei, Sister Ling asked you to go up.” At this moment, Niu Meiling’s assistant hurried down the stairs and happened to met them, quickly explaining.

Niu Meiling was looking for them again?

“Could there be something fishy again?” Mo Xiaojuan secretly speculated as she followed Mo Fei into Niu Meiling’s company.

However, this time it was Mo Xiaojuan who harbored suspicion, thinking like a noble-minded person but anticipating the schemes of a treacherous one…1

“Mo Fei, you’re here? Come, have a seat!” Niu Meiling, just like five years ago, beamed with a smile, stood up warmly to greet her and personally poured water for Mo Fei.

“Thank you, Sister Ling.” Mo Fei remained as cold as ever in front of outsiders, and it was unclear whether her expression was one of gratitude or something else.

Niu Meiling didn’t mind. She smiled and said, “Mo Fei, you’ve been busy lately, right?”

“Well, it’s okay,” Mo Fei nodded lightly.

“What do you mean, ‘okay’? Recently, Sister Fei has been exhausted from working overtime. Sister Ling, you know this too. Her song is very popular now, and everyone in the company wants to take advantage on its popularity and release the album as soon as possible. So, Sister Fei is often busy to the point of not even having time to go to the restroom!” Mo Xiaojuan complained for Mo Fei.

And it was indeed the truth.

After all, the entertainment industry had developed very well under the solid foundation of copyright protection, especially the competition between singers was particularly fierce, and the music scene can almost be said to be changing with each passing day.

Don’t looked at the current popularity of “Across the Ocean to See You”. Fans have been urging for the album to be released as soon as possible. However, if Mo Fei keeps delaying it, fans might lose patience, and the rate of loss might not be slower than the rate of accumulation!

Even the people at Tianmei were unsure how long this song would remain popular. One week? One month? Two months?

It was hard to say!

Moreover, “Across the Ocean to See You” has risen unexpectedly, easily attracting hatred from competitors. If someone used some means, the popularity of this song might dissipate faster!

So, the speed of album recording and MV shooting was increased, and Tianmei’s approach was not to be blamed. It was just that Mo Fei has worked a lot harder, and now she has to work overtime even at night.

“Well, the people in the planning department mentioned this issue to me,” Niu Meiling smiled and said, “So, isn’t this me finding a solution for you?”

“What solution?” Mo Xiaojuan asked curiously.

“On November 18th, Mo Fei is going to Shanghai to record ‘Zhi Xin Interview’,” Niu Meiling said. “I have cleared your schedule for you. This program is very important, and I think both of you, Mo Fei and Xiaojuan, understand that. You must be well prepared, and Mo Fei, you should bring a new song to perform.”

“Zhi Xin Interview,” was indeed the same program that Chen Yijie went to record at that time.

This program was not easy to appear on! Not to mention the influence of the Shanghai TV station, the level of this program was also higher than “Music Fast Fast Fast”! Niu Meiling being able to obtain an invitation from Luo Xin indicated that she had put in some effort and utilized her personal connections.

Furthermore, this time Mo Fei didn’t have to play a supporting role anymore, because every episode of “Zhi Xin Interview”, there was only one guest. If Mo Fei goes, she would be the only shining star!

“Thank you, Sister Ling!” Mo Fei paused for a moment and said gratefully.

“No need to thank me!” Niu Meiling smiled and said, “If your songs sell well, the company can also profit.”

Speaking of which, Niu Meiling’s heart was still bleeding. If she could deceive Mo Fei into signing another contract, Tianmei would earn many times more money than it does now!

However, Niu Meiling concealed it very well and expressed her concern, saying, “The program will be recorded on November 18th and will air on the first Friday of December. You have to go back and think about it carefully, and see which song to use for this program.”

Mo Fei nodded solemnly.

It was also because all 12 songs in Mo Fei’s album were masterpiece that they could use the routine of exposing a few songs in advance to earn popularity.

If it weren’t for Mo Fei’s caliber, using this routine would have led to a disastrous outcome. Because if they had exposed a mediocre song, the exposure effect would be almost zero. If it caused fans’ disgust, it might even backfire. If they used the lead single to promote, then fans might not buy the album after buying the single CD, leading to a loss rather than gain…

……

Stimulated by his brother suddenly becoming the leading actor, Guo Ziyi performed even harder on the set his senior brothers and sisters. However, this afternoon, he had no plans, so he strolled to the “Street Corner’s Coffee Shop”.

When he arrived at the shop, Guo Ziyi didn’t go straight to Ding Xiang to buy a cupcake as usual, but instead looked straight at Yang Yi, who was sticking something onto his exclusive seat. There was some struggle in the depth of Guo Ziyi’s eyes.

Geng Sha told Guo Ziyi that the TV series he was going to film was called “Soldiers Assault”. How could Guo Ziyi not connect it with Yang Yi’s book?”

Since it was a book authorized by Yang Yi, it was obvious that seeking out Big Brother Dabin and Assistant Ruan wouldn’t be as effective as approaching Yang Yi. The former two could only offer Guo Ziyi an extra with a few lines at best, but by reaching out to Yang Yi, there might be a chance that Yáng Yì would help him out due to their relationship!

Although Yang Yi didn’t agree when Guo Ziyi joked about it before, Guo Ziyi knew Yang Yi’s personality. If he truly swallowed his pride and asked, Yang Yi would still help!

It was just that Guo Ziyi couldn’t overcome this obstacle on his own!

If it wasn’t for his efforts to fight for the role he deserved, what would be the point of taking this path?

If he wanted to rely on other to achieve success, Guo Ziyi might as well listen to his family’s arrangements, study a good major, and then enter politics. With his family’s connections, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to rise up in ranks.

But Guo Ziyi was a person with dreams!

“How can I tarnish my own dreams?” Guo Ziyi struggled for a while and suddenly realized.

“I have to walk this road on my own, without relying on Big Brother Yang or my family, without relying on anyone!” Guo Ziyi strengthened his belief and clenched his fist.

“What are you doing? Do you want to fight with me?” Yang Yi raised his head at some point, looked at him with a smile, and asked.

“Uh…” Guo Ziyi broke into a sweat. He still remembered the heroic posture of Yang Yi kicking the little wild boar to death. He quickly waved his hands and said in embarrassment, “No, Big Brother Yang, it’s just that I missed you! I came over to see you!”

“Oh, are you sure you miss Big Brother Yang, not the cake in the shop?” Ding Xiang, who was next to them, covered her mouth and giggled, mercilessly exposing him.

“Really, I came to see Big Brother Yang for something. Look, I didn’t even glance at your cakes!” Guo Ziyi said with shame and annoyance.

“What are you looking for me for?” Yang Yi spoke again.
