Just as Wang Shu finished undressing and was about to take a shower, Xu Yunshang, who had just left, suddenly returned and opened the door.
Wang Shu: "???"
Xu Yunshang: "!!!"
A minute later, Xu Yunshang sat awkwardly on the edge of the bed, her face flushed red, her hands fidgeting with her fingers on her lap.
"Why did you come back? Did you forget something?" Wang Shu asked, looking at Xu Yunshang with confusion.
"No, I just forgot to tell you about something important. Tomorrow is the last day to sign up for 'Weekly Good Songs.' I think it's an opportunity for you." Xu Yunshang took a registration form out of her bag and handed it to Wang Shu. She believed that with Wang Shu's singing skills and talent, winning a prize on this show wouldn't be too difficult. Moreover, this guy was so obsessed with money right now, this show would surely suit his taste.
"One million for the champion, seven hundred thousand for the runner-up, five hundred thousand for the third place! This show is really generous!" Wang Shu exclaimed, looking at the prize money amounts on the promotional poster. Furthermore, this show was recorded once a week, meaning he could have a chance to win a million every week he participated. At the same time, Wang Shu conceived a daring idea in his mind.
"Thank you, I didn't expect you to be so good to me!" Wang Shu grabbed Xu Yunshang's hand and said excitedly. He hadn't expected this little girl Xu Yunshang to be so good to him, not only taking care of his business multiple times but also specially planning for his future. Xu Yunshang was even more at a loss. It was the first time a boy had held her hand like this. However, looking at Wang Shu's excited expression, she felt inexplicably relieved. At least this guy wasn't completely beyond help.
After Xu Yunshang left the hotel, Wang Shu picked up his phone, entered the registration website on the poster, and filled in the required information. After finishing, he went straight to sleep...
That night, a not-so-clear video appeared on Weibo under the topic of Xu Yunshang's concert. Although the video wasn't clear, the live music could be vaguely heard.
"On the banks of the Seine, coffee on the left bank." The cheerful and melodious music played from mobile phones late at night.
"This song makes me want to fall in love, but I'm clearly a single person!"
"After listening to it, I was reminded of my first love, how sweet it was back then!"
"Brothers, I've already sent this song to my goddess! She will definitely agree to me!" On Weibo, under Xu Yunshang's super topic, more and more people who hadn't attended the concert were attracted by Wang Shu's song "Confession Balloon," and expressed their feelings after listening to it.
"Damn, not going to Yunshang's concert today was a huge loss!"
"Yeah, I regret it. Damn work, if I had known it would be so exciting, I would have taken a day off to go!"
"Yunshang's two new songs this time are so much better than before. If she had released these songs earlier, she might already be a queen of the music industry!"
"Yeah, and the guy who sang 'Confession Balloon' is also amazing. Not only are the lyrics and music brilliant, but his singing is also so steady. Do fans have to compete now too?" Many fans who were not clear about what happened at the scene were amazed after watching these intermittent live-shot short videos. Some were surprised by Xu Yunshang's suddenly high-quality work, while others were shocked by Wang Shu's impressive singing skills and songwriting. Because in their opinion, Wang Shu should just be a fan of Xu Yunshang. However, Wang Shu's performance was more like that of a professional singer, which is why they lamented that being a fan also requires intense competition now.
After fermenting overnight, Xu Yunshang's concert topic even reached the trending list due to countless shares and forwards. It's worth noting that in this world, Weibo's trending list is not as easily accessible with money as it is on Earth. The country has extremely strict regulations on traffic and trending topics. Unless it's a violation, no organization or individual can interfere with the rotation of the trending list. Moreover, Weibo in this world has the attribute of being a universally social platform, unlike the attribute of entertainment stars in the previous life. Therefore, it is extremely difficult for artists to get on the trending list in this world. Unless it's major news from top-tier stars, they have a chance to enter the top ten of the trending list. Normally, these top-tier stars can at most reach the middle positions on the trending list. Therefore, it is already a miracle for Xu Yunshang, a third-tier artist, to reach the end of the trending list with just a concert, relying on the spontaneous sharing and forwarding of fans.
"I can't believe this bitch even made it to the trending list, it's unbelievable!" In the artist lounge of Qian Yin Entertainment, Lü Qianqian looked at the glaring name on the Weibo trending list on her phone and muttered angrily.
"Sister Qian, don't be angry. Don't we still have leverage over her? Why don't we take this opportunity to add fuel to the fire?" The assistant beside her said with a cold smile, patting his camera.
"You always have such clever ideas! I almost forgot about this!" Lü Qianqian suddenly realized. Last time, she not only sent the photos to Han Chunmei in the company's artist department but also to a leader of a water army she knew. So she directly called him and asked him to release the draft immediately. She wanted to extinguish Xu Yunshang's nascent glimmer of hope for her career. If she had to blame someone, it would be Xu Yunshang's own fault for provoking her, Lü Qianqian. She didn't even consider her own abilities and dared to snatch others' futures. Not long after Lü Qianqian hung up the phone, the leader of the water army forwarded a link to her WeChat. Lü Qianqian eagerly opened the link and after browsing the contents of the post, directly logged into her Weibo alt account and forwarded the post. She was very satisfied with the content of the post. The post directly fabricated Xu Yunshang as a delinquent girl, portraying Wang Shu as Xu Yunshang's thug boyfriend. What's more, the photos of the two were further processed. Not only were many tattoos superimposed on Xu Yunshang, but AI face-swapping technology was also used to directly merge Wang Shu's face and Xu Yunshang's face onto characters in explicit short films. Soon, many entertainment bloggers on Weibo, who were gossiping, were also urged by the leader of the water army to repost this post indiscriminately.
