Chapter 118: Murong Xue is famous

The news content was:

"The 53-year-old Heavenly Xiao Tianhou Yiru has passed away due to illness, shocking the music scene. Friends in the circle have posted messages of mourning one after another, expressing deep regret over the passing of Heavenly Xiao Tianhou..."

Murong Xue's brain went "buzz." The goddess she worshipped had actually passed away?!

She looked at the time again; it was two days ago.

Murong Xue had heard before that Xiao Yiru suffered from leukemia, which was why she had to retire from the circle to recuperate.

However, a year ago, Heavenly Xiao Tianhou's surgery was successful, and it was said that her health had improved, but she didn't expect her condition to suddenly recur.

"Ding-a-ling..."

Just as Murong Xue was about to continue reading, the phone she had thrown aside suddenly rang.

Murong Xue picked up the phone and, after seeing the display clearly, was a bit surprised.

This person was someone she had met before at an advertising song audition, named Chen Qingfang.

Chen Qingfang wasn't selected at the time and was eventually signed by another agency. Although she didn't become a big hit, she could still occasionally see news about her in the entertainment section.

The two had exchanged contact information during the interview. After she was selected as the singer for the advertising song, the other party contacted her often, but later, the number of messages the other party sent her became fewer and fewer, and even the messages she took the initiative to send sank like a stone in the ocean.

Murong Xue understood the reason for this and didn't force it, gradually forgetting about this person.

After so long, why would she suddenly call her?

With questions, Murong Xue pressed the answer button.

"Hello?"

"Little Xue, you're something! Don't forget your good sister when you're famous in the future!"

Chen Qingfang's tone sounded quite excited, but Murong Xue was completely confused.

"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

"Little Xue, what's our relationship? Why are you still being humble with me?"

Chen Qingfang feigned displeasure: "Are you blaming me for not contacting you during this time? I was helpless; I had to rush to appointments every day and didn't even have time to sleep. I really didn't have time..."

"Qingfang, I really don't know what happened."

Perhaps Murong Xue's tone was too serious, Chen Qingfang on the other end of the phone paused and asked with some surprise.

"How can you not know? Your Weibo is already being brushed onto the real-time hot search!"

"Hot search?" Murong Xue frowned. "What hot search?"

She quickly exited the call interface and opened Weibo again.

Because her main Weibo account was now managed by Xu Tian, the Weibo she was logged into now wasn't her own.

Soon, she swiped to a Weibo post she had made half a month ago.

The content was a video of her in the recording studio, with the caption: *Sorry to keep everyone waiting. I will adjust my mood and start again. I'll sing an old song for everyone to pay tribute to my idol. *

Because this Weibo post was made half a month ago, no one mocked Murong Xue for "clout-chasing" at that time; instead, they gave her quite a bit of encouragement.

But what really made this Weibo post hit the hot search was another piece of news.

Not long after the news of Xiao Yiru's passing was announced, her friend in the circle, a well-known musical director, posted on Weibo, claiming that he and Xiao Yiru had been planning a musical adapted from Xiao Yiru's experiences in her youth, but they had received the bad news before it officially started.

To commemorate his late friend, he intended to launch the musical project immediately and wanted to select a suitable singer to play the young Xiao Yiru.

After this Weibo post was released, it hit the hot search, and at the same time, the musical's official account also posted a Weibo, asking netizens to recommend suitable singers.

And under that Weibo post, the one with the highest voice was Murong Xue, who had posted a video half a month ago.

The cause was a small fan who recommended Murong Xue, and then many netizens expressed that they hadn't heard of this person, so they searched and found Murong Xue's Weibo.

Netizen 1: *Organizer, look at this girl, how is she? @Murong Xue*

Netizen 2: *The one above, where did you find this treasure? Her voice is really good! *

Netizen 3: *It's disgusting to jump out and chase clout at a time like this... *

Netizen 4: *@Netizen 3, look at the date clearly before you troll. She posted this tribute to her idol half a month ago, how is that clout-chasing? Don't tell me she can predict the future and know in advance that Heavenly Xiao Tianhou would die of illness? *

Because the netizen who questioned Murong Xue was a marketing account with tens of thousands of fans, not only did they fail to splash dirty water on her, but they actually made her popularity rise again and again.

Murong Xue's Weibo post also became famous because of this.

*Little Xue's Candied Hawthorn: Ah ah ah ah, what am I seeing? Is Little Xue going to make a comeback? *

*Little Xue's Snowball: It's the living Little Xue! I'm so excited! She has always said she is a fan of Heavenly Xiao Tianhou. If she can play the young Heavenly Xiao Tianhou, it can be considered fulfilling a wish, right? *

Murong Xue looked at the comments under that Weibo post and even rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

She had disappeared from the public eye for so long; were there actually still fans who remembered her?

A warm current surged from the bottom of her heart, making her feel a mix of emotions.

The last time she was discussed on such a large scale was when she sang that advertising song when she first debuted.

"Little Xue, are you still listening?" Chen Qingfang's voice came from Murong Xue's phone.

Even though she hadn't spoken for a long time, Chen Qingfang hadn't hung up.

"If you can really get this opportunity, you will definitely become famous overnight!"

"And now that video of you singing is already on the hot search. As long as the popularity doesn't drop, the musical organizers will definitely contact you."

"Did you change to a new agent? This marketing strategy is truly high..."

"And how are you guys so lucky? This one-in-ten-thousand probability, you actually encountered it..."

Chen Qingfang chattered on, very excited.

However, Murong Xue didn't listen to much of it.

A full ten minutes passed before the other party had to hang up the phone because she had to rush to an appointment.

Murong Xue also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before she could slowly digest her emotions, the phone rang again...

That night, she didn't do anything; just answering calls and replying to messages took more than two hours.

Those artists she hadn't had much contact with, or those she had only exchanged contact information with but never contacted, all called her, some congratulating her, some asking her about the inside story.

Murong Xue also didn't expect that one day, so many people would chat with her in the tone of a friend.

The popularity on Weibo continued until the next day.

Murong Xue and her video Weibo post climbed to the homepage of the hot search, and it was on there without the company buying a hot search.

And Murong Xue also changed from that fleeting "transparent" nobody to a current internet celebrity.

"What exactly is going on?" Seeing the hot search, Du Xiaowei's face turned green.

Yesterday he went to eat with the producer, and the dinner lasted until two in the morning. After returning home, he went straight to sleep, so he missed last night's hot search.

If it weren't for his subordinate Li Zhongshan reporting to him, he still wouldn't know. ===== CHAPTER 119 =====
