10: Chapter 10 Ruan Xingyu

"I'm sure you bosses all know about Tianxing Entertainment, so I won't go into too much detail. Our artists are hungry for new material; as long as the song quality is good, we'll take as many as you have. Our prices are definitely the highest in the industry, so please rest assured! For submissions, please specify the Singing requirements... and send to the email address..."

Tianxing Entertainment had a decent reputation in the industry, and besides, submitting a song didn't necessarily mean he had to sell it to them, so he figured he might as well give it a try.

Lin Chuyan packaged "Similar to Love" and sent it over. Since the system-issued mission required it to receive widespread acclaim, there was no question about it; he directly specified that the Singing requirement must be a popular, top-tier female Singer...

So what if he was a new Songwriting talent? It didn't matter; "Similar to Love" was worth it!

The next day, during working hours.

Tianxing Entertainment.

Three staff members, whose specific job was to check emails and perform the first round of screening for song submissions every day, were huddled together complaining—this had become a regular part of their work routine.

"Look at this, what kind of name is this, 'The Magic Power of Love Spinning Around'?"

"Click and see, maybe it's just a bad song title."

Two minutes later.

"What on earth is this?"

"Hurry up, next! People really dare to submit any kind of trash."

" 'What Are You Barking About'."

"？"

"It's a rap song, that's literally the song title."

"...Next."

"Hey, look at this one, 'Similar to Love', hilarious, the requirement is that it must be sung by a top-tier female Singer in the industry."

"Damn, what kind of person is this? Who is the submitter?"

"No signature."

"Could it be a newcomer?"

"Let's see. Lyrics, composition, arrangement... none of them are signed."

"Let's check it out."

A few minutes later.

"This is a newcomer? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"If this is a newcomer, I'll eat poop right now!"

"Check it, search on Aiyue.com..."

"Lin Mo? Who is Lin Mo?"

"Don't know, don't recognize, don't care. I only know you're going to eat poop."

"...Bro, I was wrong."

"This song, based on my experience reviewing so many songs, definitely has the potential to hit the top of the charts!"

"Report it up the chain."

"What grade should we set?"

Tianxing Entertainment would grade all submitted songs, from C, B, A to S. The different levels determined which producer the song would be sent to.

The three looked at each other and tacitly agreed to give it an S grade, noting the name of producer Zheng Hai afterwards.

Tianxing had quite a few female Singers, but the one who needed a good song the most right now was the one Zheng Hai was managing.

Five minutes later.

Producer Zheng Hai received this song, "Similar to Love".

This was also a rule at Tianxing, ensuring S-grade songs were given to the corresponding producer immediately.

As one of Tianxing's top-tier producers and owners, Zheng Hai had produced many excellent Singers, but there was only one artist with the highest priority.

Ruan Xingyu.

Ruan Xingyu was originally just an ordinary person, later discovered by Tianxing. In her 5 years since debut, she had released 3 albums, each of which was the best album of that year.

From Best Newcomer to Best Female Singer, she had won all kinds of awards. Because of her good image, at just 27 years old this year, she was already the most popular in the younger generation, without exception, and had earned the title of Diva.

She was also Tianxing's top female artist today, holding many endorsements, and could be said to be the company's biggest cash cow at the moment.

" 'Similar to Love'..."

S-grade songs were rare and hard to come by. Can you believe the last one sent to Zheng Hai was two months ago? The kicker was that he had rejected that song too.

Ruan Xingyu's next album was his top priority right now, and it was missing just one song.

Ruan Xingyu's fans were something else; instead of urging their idol, they were on Weibo every day mocking him in various ways. Who could stand that?

No need to say more, even if something huge came up, he had to set it aside.

Zheng Hai clicked on "Similar to Love".

"My heart is a little anxious, and a little angry, can you not give up..."

Zheng Hai frowned; it was a bit too straightforward.

"I'm crossing the street, where are you..."

Zheng Hai's furrowed brows relaxed, and the corners of his mouth lifted; he was actually amused by this line—

What is this? Crossing the street? What the hell?

Wait, no...

Who wrote these lyrics...

Zheng Hai went back to check; when his subordinates submitted it, they had specifically noted it.

A newly registered Songwriting creator on Aiyue.com: Lin Mo.

Who is Lin Mo?

Zheng Hai repeated this lyric with doubt.

No, no!

Isn't love composed of countless such subtle moments?

Don't people deeply in love want to know where the person they like is every single moment?

Is it too much to ask where you are when crossing the street?

It's not too much, not at all; on the contrary, it's very reasonable!

Brilliant, brilliant!

The more Zheng Hai savored it, the more he liked it, and he continued reading.

A few minutes later.

Zheng Hai picked up his phone:

"Xingxing, I just received a song, I think it suits you very well, it's extremely suitable, um, come to the company, yes, right now."

...

The clatter of footsteps soon appeared in the office.

Who else could it be but Ruan Xingyu?

Ruan Xingyu's face was on the narrower side, but because her features were classical and dignified, she was clearly distinguished from those 'snake-spirit' faces. Combined with a straight, elegant nose bridge and a clear jawline, it even outlined a certain sharp, fierce beauty.

Coupled with her height of 170cm and the added status of being Tianxing's top female artist, people who hadn't interacted with her or didn't understand her personality would truly feel a bit intimidated at first glance.

She hadn't been in such a good mood for a long time. At this moment, she was smiling and chatting, like the early spring sun melting ice and snow; the people in the office were happy to appreciate this rare sight.

The other party had provided everything—lyrics, composition, and arrangement were all there. So, there was nothing left to say; the whole team started working on it immediately.

The moment Ruan Xingyu started Singing, she knew it was right. She had never been in love; she didn't have much of a feeling for the line that Zheng Hai had applauded, but she absolutely loved the last line.

"This world is heartless, thank you, for saying I love you, I really want to hear it."

Doesn't every person experiencing loneliness look forward to such a person appearing?

Her beautiful eyes blinked like a fawn's, slowly Rippling with a smile. Her voice was clear and bright, yet naturally carried a unique timbre that was captivating: "Brother Zheng Hai, is this Wawa? Or He Xi?"

Wawa and He Xi, one male and one female, were both famous Songwriting talents in the industry, especially skilled at such delicately expressed love songs, so it was no wonder Ruan Xingyu had this guess.

Zheng Hai shook his head with a smile: "The song was received from Aiyue.com. I checked, and the lyrics, composition, and arrangement all have the same name, called Lin Mo. I don't know if it's someone's new pseudonym... Anyway, we've struck gold this time. Enough talk, I need to hurry up and finalize it with them."

Ruan Xingyu really, really liked this song. She thought about it and felt that this still wasn't sincere enough:

"Brother Zheng Hai, or why don't you get a contact method from them, and I'll go talk to them personally?"

Zheng Hai hesitated for a moment, "It's not impossible..."

Although it wasn't professional, it certainly showed sincerity.

Tianxing's top female artist personally asking for a song—it wouldn't be too much to give her some face, right?

...

When Lin Chuyan received the email reply from Tianxing Entertainment, he was quite surprised by their work efficiency.

Being a big company, the email reply was very official, but the meaning was expressed very clearly. The gist was that they were very interested in the work and hoped to sign the song with him as soon as possible. In addition, they requested a private contact method...

"Eh, did I not write it?"

Lin Chuyan replied to the email, sending over his WeChat.

Soon, there was a little red dot on WeChat.

Someone had added him as a friend. The note said, "Hello, Tianxing Entertainment," the avatar was a starry sky, and the Xingxing was "Xingxing," plain and simple.

Probably some HR person!

Add, accept.
