Many media outlets had live-streamed the release event, and thanks to their coverage, the song gained a certain level of attention. Coupled with Mira’s unique penetrating voice and Phoenix’s expert arrangement and composition, the song quickly climbed to the top of the new song chart.
This was something Thelma had never anticipated. She hadn’t set her expectations high and had never thought that this song could make Mira famous overnight. She had prepared for a long, slow journey, and even when the issue with Julie arose, she had braced herself for the worst. Yet, unexpectedly, they turned misfortune into fortune, and the song received unprecedented attention.
In just a few hours, the song’s search volume had completely exceeded the expectations of the three of them, and the results were beyond their wildest dreams.
Thelma immediately hired a filming team to shoot a set of posters for Mira. She believed that after hearing Mira’s singing, many people would search for her personal information, so she needed to be well-prepared.
The three of them were very excited, not expecting that their small studio could produce such a hit song. Of course, amidst the excitement, Phoenix did not forget to remind Thelma.
“Now that Mira’s popularity is increasing day by day, there will definitely be various advertising and release event invitations coming in. You’d better find her a manager to handle these matters; otherwise, you won’t be able to manage everything on your own.”
Phoenix’s words struck a chord with Thelma. The contract she signed with Mira included not only a recording agreement but also a management agreement. Once Mira became popular, she would definitely need to find a manager and an assistant. However, Thelma was in a bit of a dilemma; she didn’t have many acquaintances in the music industry, and it seemed she would have to ask someone from her family for help.
But Phoenix said, “I recently heard that Connor seems to be free. He just terminated his contract with his old company. If you’re interested, I can introduce him to you.”
Thelma felt the name Connor sounded familiar. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly realized that Connor was indeed Presley’s manager, and he seemed to be quite well-known in the management circle.
Thelma nodded vigorously, “Of course I’m interested!”
Phoenix replied, “Alright, in a few days, I’ll bring him over.”
Thelma felt that this world was truly wonderful, and she thought she was incredibly lucky. Whatever she wanted seemed to come to her, as if aided by divine intervention.
Thelma had a bountiful harvest here, but Julie had become a laughingstock in the industry because of this incident. For a long time, she probably wouldn’t dare to show her face in public again.
After the disastrous end of the press conference, Julie went straight to Ava’s residence. However, she didn’t expect there to be an outsider present. This person was also known to her, the president of the PrimeVest Group, Adaline. Ava had been getting close to her recently and had even secured an endorsement deal with PrimeVest Group.
Julie was already furious from the humiliation she had suffered and didn’t care about the outsider being there. As soon as she entered, she pointed at Ava’s nose and said, “Didn’t you say that song was written by you? You even said you’d give it to me for free because of our many years of friendship. It turns out that good things don’t just fall from the sky. You didn’t want such a good song for yourself and had to give it to me for free. This is clearly a pit you dug for me!”
Ava, being accused like this, showed no sign of panic. She replied nonchalantly, “You’re still a star, after all. Look at your current image; what’s the difference between you and a shrew?”
A shrew? Julie was now so furious she felt like she could kill.
“I will tell everyone that this song was given to me by you. You’re the one who plagiarized!”
Ava shrugged, her expression one of indifference.
“However, I must remind you that the lyricist and composer of that song is you. You dragged me down for no reason; how many people would believe you?”
“You—”
Julie was speechless with anger.
