Chapter 57

Times have changed.

Compared to last month when "Bubbles" was just released, Lady Jiang Yu was just an unknown passerby, major music platforms didn't give recommendations, and fans were confused.

This month, when "Serenade of the Half Moon" went online, the starting posture was completely different.

Major music platforms didn't need the twins to buy recommendation slots; they proactively spread their legs... no, they had already arranged the homepage recommendation slots.

These are all money.

They knew the popularity of Lady Jiang Yu's songs and could take a cut from them.

And the fans were no longer confused; for Lady Jiang Yu's songs, just download them.

Produced by Lady Jiang Yu, quality guaranteed, it must be a boutique.

Five minutes after going online, the download volume of "Serenade of the Half Moon" quickly exceeded 100,000, and the song's comment section was even more lively...

"Checking in from the young lady's live stream!"

"+1!"

"+2!"

"+10086!"

"So this song is called 'Serenade of the Half Moon,' loved it, loved it!"

"Pfft, hilarious, you're probably a fake fan, let me correct you, it's 'Serenade of the Half Moon'."

"What are you waiting for? Preview, download, and favorite, the triple threat."

"It's recommended to prepare tissues when listening to this song, I listened until I cried."

"I love this song so much, it's the best Cantonese song I've heard in recent years."

"The sisters' composition skills are beyond words, 'awesome' is just one word! Simply perfect!"

"The greatest regret in life is having someone in your heart you love but cannot have, think of but cannot see, and hurt but cannot forget..."

"People, in the end, will be troubled for a lifetime by what they couldn't get when they were young."

"I like this kind of quiet and soulful song! Calling for the young lady like crazy!"

"I would call it the peak masterpiece of Cantonese songs!"

"'Never realized we were about to break up,' 'People are like the bright moon in the sky that cannot be possessed,' these two lines are so true! So touching!"

"..."

It wasn't just fans from the live stream; some passersby also quickly noticed this song.

"Holy crap! Lady Jiang Yu's new song is amazing!"

"Is she actually a streamer??? I'm not a TikTok fan, but this time, I must download TikTok and follow her. Missing Lady Jiang Yu's new song release is like missing a hundred million!"

"I owe them a concert ticket!"

"An 18th-tier singer passing by, big shots 666666!"

"..."

And in the Imperial Capital.

Yang Mi, who was informed by her assistant that Lady Jiang Yu had released a new song again, was currently scrolling through these comments, smiling from ear to ear.

Although she hadn't listened to the song yet, she could see from these crazy and popular comments that "Serenade of the Half Moon" was very good.

With this current level of heat, perhaps they could even go for the August music chart.

Five days, perhaps for other singers, is almost an unsolvable dead end.

But for those twins, it is completely possible!

They are synonymous with miracles.

"Great."

Yang Mi smiled, thinking happily: "With two such great gods in Jiaxing Entertainment, I don't believe those singers and composers in the music circle can sit still? By then, Jiaxing Entertainment's music department will be built."

To become a top entertainment company, music is essential.

Yang Mi looked forward to using Lady Jiang Yu's influence in the music scene to build the Jiaxing music department.

Thereby making Jiaxing Entertainment a top company in the circle.

And on Weibo.

Ten minutes after the release of "Serenade of the Half Moon," various hot searches appeared one after another, rapidly climbing in topic heat.

[Lady Jiang Yu's new song released, "Serenade of the Half Moon!"]

[Cantonese peak masterpiece appears, the outcome of the August music chart is undecided!]

[Su Xue and Wang Wang Bancheng face the double-month challenge again, can they successfully defend their titles this time?]

And in the music scene.

Many people also got the news, and the entire music scene was shocked.

"This pair of moons is truly fierce!"

"More than just fierce, they're simply fierce to the extreme—they belong in the ranks of the music scene's Great Demon Kings!"

"Just finished listening to the song, I'm already kneeling!"

"Cantonese pop, which had already declined into a ghost of its former self, was actually played to such heights by them?"

"It fully proves that it's not that Cantonese pop is no good, but that the people writing the songs are no good!"

"I have to admit defeat!"

"These twins are truly too strong!"

"Oh my, it's a good thing I saved my ultimate move this month and didn't release a song. Otherwise, if I, a King of Song, were crushed by a pair of newcomers, wouldn't I be super embarrassed?"

"Hahahaha... what if they release songs next month, or the month after that?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! They're about to go film a drama; where would they find the time?"

"I never expected our music scene would one day be this afraid of a pair of newcomers..."

"It's not that we're weak, it's that they're too strong. A song like *Moonlight Serenade*, even if you gave me ten brains, I couldn't write it."

"I'm afraid Su Xue is going to lose again this time. A song like this is unreasonably strong."

"That said, I'm super curious about the size of Su Xue's psychological shadow right now... @Su Xue."

"No need to say more, she's definitely feeling like she's been screwed."

"Hahahaha... I feel bad for Su Xue."

"I feel bad for Su Xue +1."

"I feel bad for Su Xue +2."

"I feel bad for Su Xue +3."

"..."

The chat in the group unified into "I feel bad for Su Xue," filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Su Xue was also in the group, but she didn't pop up.

She looked at the discussion in the group, her head full of hashtags, her hands clenched into fists.

Can you give me some face?

Don't I have any dignity?

In an instant.

She logged into her Weibo and posted a message.

The post contained only an emoji of someone crying without tears.

Instantly.

Countless netizens and industry insiders were amused, laughing uncontrollably.

However, this attitude of facing things calmly actually earned her a lot of favor with passersby.

It could be considered a blessing in disguise.

After the *Chinese Paladin 1* project was officially launched, the next step was casting.

First was the internal casting within the company.

After all, since it was a drama produced by Jiaxing, they naturally had to prioritize their own artists.

For this reason.

Yang Mi specifically recalled some artists who were out on gigs to come back for auditions.

As the director, screenwriter, and female lead, the girl naturally couldn't escape the casting process.

At the same time.

After *The Ring* passed review, it was officially scheduled.

It was set for release on September 1st.

Looking at the timeline, this date was definitely very rushed.

There was simply no time left for film promotion.

But there was no other way.

If it didn't release in September, the next month would be October, and the National Day slot would be packed with blockbusters; entertainment companies would be fighting like crazy, and they wouldn't give *The Ring* a chance. By November and December, foreign blockbusters would invade the domestic theaters, and January and February were the Spring Festival slots. After that, the opportunity would have long since passed...

By comparison, September was actually the best opportunity.

The few films in the same period were also average, having fled to September to avoid the National Day slot.

Everyone was much of a muchness.

Regarding the film *The Ring*, Yang Mi and Jiaxing Entertainment were very open-minded.

Not losing money is making money.

Of course.

If they could make a profit, that would be best.

As for film promotion and such... well, it doesn't matter if they release it first and then rush the promotion.

In any case, the quality of this film is there; they aren't afraid of a lack of word-of-mouth.

Over the next few days.

The girl became busy once again.

Xu Youyue was busy casting for *Chinese Paladin 1*.

Xu Mingyue stayed home, grinding out words.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, it was August 31st.

On this morning.

The girl paused all her work.

The two sisters walked out hand-in-hand, dragging a suitcase.

The Imperial Academy of Drama started today, and they had to go report.

"A new life has begun."

The girl was very excited.

Well.

She was mainly looking forward to her roommates; the quality of girls in the acting department of this drama academy was super high!

Black silk stockings!

White silk stockings!

Lolis!

Mature women!

Girls with glasses!

I wonder which type it will be?

"I want them all!" The girl had big ambitions.
