Inside the TV station, Rong Yan had just finished recording her personal clip for the talent show with Estelle.
This time, there were four people from KT participating in the show, but when she arrived, she saw only three of them; the fourth person hadn’t shown up to record the clip as required, for reasons unknown.
Estelle hadn’t mentioned it, and Rong Yan had cleverly refrained from asking.
In the entertainment industry, there were many people with influential backgrounds, and only newcomers like her, without money, power, popularity, or connections, had to abide by the rules.
After exiting the studio, Estelle clapped her hands to gather them together.
“All right, today’s work is done, you can all go now. Wait for my notice for the rest! Understood?”
The faces of the young girls, filled with dreams, radiated anticipation.
Estelle swept her gaze over them and said indifferently, “Those who have other schedules should go take care of them; those who don’t can go back and rest.”
“Okay, Estelle,” they replied.
“Thank you, Estelle.”
The two most cheerful girls immediately responded sweetly.
Estelle hummed in acknowledgment, then turned her head towards Rong Yan in the corner and said, “Rong Yan, come with me!”
The three who had been about to disperse all looked over at once.
Even the smiles of those who had sweetly agreed at the start involuntarily turned into straight lines.
Rong Yan felt the gazes converging on her.
If looks could kill, she suspected she would have been scorched by X-rays by now!
Unconcerned with the undercurrents among those below, Estelle led the way. Rong Yan pursed her lips and followed.
When they reached the corner of the staircase, she called out to the person in front, “Estelle, what did you want to see me about?”
The person in front stopped and, with a calm gaze, looked at Rong Yan.
Dressed in a petite suit, she cut an impressive figure. Her hair, undyed, kept its natural hue, and the black strands were tied up behind her, with not a hair out of place, even in her bangs.
Her aura was so strong that Rong Yan straightened up and asked, “Estelle?”
Finally, Estelle’s cool lips parted to speak, “It’s nothing important.”
Then why had she been kept back?
Estelle continued, “The promotional song for ‘Return to Ning’ is ready, and it’s a duet. You’re really lucky this time; the composer is someone you wouldn’t expect, and right now, only the chorus part is out. The director’s intention is for you to shoot a short video with the singer you’ll be performing with, to release and warm up the fans of the book in advance.”
Of course, Rong Yan knew who the unexpected person Estelle referred to was— Zhong Yuye!
It seemed he hadn’t gone back on his word; he had indeed composed the music.
A glint of excitement appeared in Rong Yan’s eyes.
With Yuye’s support, her first shot at fame was assuredly secure!
Seeing she hadn’t asked who the unexpected composer was, Estelle was slightly surprised, but she appreciated Rong Yan’s ‘composure’. After a pause, she continued, “The person chosen to work with you is Xida. You’ve probably heard of him—I don’t need to introduce him further, do I?”
Xida was a recently debuted idol with good popularity; Rong Yan had vaguely heard his name, but she wasn’t very familiar with him.
“Ordinarily, your current fame wouldn’t qualify you to partner with him, but his manager is optimistic about the song’s potential hit status, so they’ve accepted the offer. Later, make sure you cooperate during the filming and avoid any conflicts. Otherwise, if anyone gets replaced, it’ll be you, understand?”
In this industry, opportunities slipping through the fingers at the last minute were all too common. Unless something was officially released, no one knew for sure who would get the prize.
Rong Yan’s fame wasn’t sufficient, and on top of that, she was entangled with a tarnished past; if the other party wasn’t satisfied, they might very well make a fuss about changing the performer..
