Li Ya was so nervous that she almost typed the wrong word. After she sent the message, Lu Zhen did not reply immediately. She thought for a moment and added nervously
“It’s fine if you don’t like it…” Before she could finish typing, Lu Zhen replied, “I like it very much. I’ve already found an audio download on the Internet. I want to use this song as my ringtone… Wait, that seems too high-profile. Then I’ll listen to it a few times a day before bed. Li Ya, thank you for writing such a wonderful song for me. I feel very happy.” Li Ya covered her mouth and almost cried.
She said she liked it!
Li Ya felt a strong sense of satisfaction and happiness. The fatigue she had been training for the entire day instantly disappeared, and she was filled with strength.
Lu Zhen encouraged Li Ya to persevere in the training camp. The two of them chatted for a while. Seeing that it was already a little late, Li Ya hurriedly asked Lu Zhen to rest.
After putting away her cell phone, Li Ya was about to return to the dormitory that the production team had prepared for the contestants to rest when her mentor suddenly came over and said to her happily, “Erica, after the show is broadcast, your song will be on Yun Music’s new song chart and Soaring List. Judging by its popularity, it’s very likely to be at the top tomorrow! You’re going to be popular!”
What musicians yearned for the most was for their songs to become popular. Now that Li Ya’s song had become so popular overnight, she might become a dark horse in the music industry this year.
The mentor was very pleased with himself. He had picked up a precious contestant this time.
Li Ya was not that sensitive to fame. When she heard her mentor’s words, she only nodded in confusion. “Really? That’s good. I’ll go to bed, Teacher.”
“Wait!” The mentor looked at his cell phone and said in surprise, “You’re actually on the trending searches of the entertainment rankings. The netizens are all asking you which female celebrity that song was written for. Oh my god, you’re really popular now.”
Li Ya’s sleepiness instantly disappeared. She hurriedly looked at her mentor’s phone. As expected, the video of her singing on the show had already reached 80 million views on Weibo. The netizens below left comments—
“Which female celebrity is this song for? I’m really curious. Which female celebrity in our entertainment industry is worthy of such a good song?
“Curiosity +1! Is it Guan Yun?”
“Impossible. Li Ya is just a newbie. Guan Yun has been overseas all these years.
How can the two of them know each other?!”
“Why not? Maybe they’re online friends?”
“If that’s the case, then I think it might be my Xu Rui!”
Li Ya did not expect the netizens to be so curious. She was momentarily at a loss. She only wanted to write a song for Lu Zhen, but now, it has caused such a heated discussion. What should she do?
The teacher looked at Li Ya. “Do you want to post on Weibo to explain who you wrote this song for?”
Li Ya was a little conflicted. “I don’t know either. Teacher, what do you think?”
The mentor looked at her kindly. “My suggestion is not to explain for the time being. Although I don’t know who the celebrity you like is, she should be very famous in the entertainment industry, right?”
Li Ya nodded frantically.
“You’re just a newbie who has just made a name for herself in the music industry. If you say that you wrote this song for her now, the netizens might suspect that you’re taking advantage of her popularity. Moreover, the entertainment industry is very complicated. If your song describe her so well, many people will definitely think that she’s not that good at all, right?”
Li Ya thought for a moment and nodded. “That’s right, Teacher. Usually, many people will badmouth her online. Then, Teacher, what should I do now?
“There are very few people in this world who can make everyone like you.” The mentor patted Li Ya’s head. “What you have to do now is to work hard to prepare for the competition. When you enter the entertainment industry and become someone who has the right to speak in this industry, the words coming out of your mouth will become heavy. Right now, you’re just a singer who has just gained some fame. You can’t protect the idol you like. You have to become stronger.”
Li Ya was enlightened and clenched her fists firmly. “Teacher, I understand. I’ll work hard. Thank you for telling me this.”
Li Ya was very touched by the suggestions her mentor had given her.
Moreover, the mentor did not ask her who the song was written for. He fully respected her wishes..
