Chapter 148 - Not The Worst

“The music industry is currently in the doldrums. The older generation’s musicians are already middle-aged, and there’s no one in the younger generation who can take over for them. Actually, it’s not that your taste has declined. There just haven’t been any good songs lately. If there were godly songs, who would be willing to listen to trash?”

Shi Lingyu, who was listening to the duo’s conversation, added, “I think Sheng Sheng is right. There are no good songs. There are no classic songs that can make one sick of listening to them. Songs get popular suddenly, and then it’s all over again.

“When it comes to spending money in the fast-food era, people are too impetuous. There aren’t many people who can be patient enough to focus on their music. Just look at those talent shows and you’ll know that everyone is singing classic songs from the past.”

Ling Sheng said, “I believe that after Sister Su Yi left the company, the songs she composed and produced were all very nice. They were so pleasing to the ears that they were practically earworms. I’ve been listening to your single on a loop lately! What you lack is an opportunity. A golden carp just lacks the opportunity to become a dragon. I think highly of you.”

Su Yi’s heart was moved, and her voice was hoarse. “A dragon? I’m more like a worm. But sister, thank you for liking my song and listening to it.”

She had thought that after experiencing all these ups and downs, she had already become very calm and found the definition of success. She no longer had the strong obsession she had before. She had to succeed and become a shining star in the Chinese music industry, of course.

However, her only obsession was music. Her desire to become a successful musician had yet to change. As long as one fan was supporting her and listening to her songs, she would continue to live without hesitation.

“Sister Su Yi, you have to work hard. We are your strongest supporters. We will definitely cheer you on!” Ling Sheng encouraged her.

Actually, she felt a lot of pity for her in her heart. At the same time, she also admired her. At the pinnacle of her career, she had enjoyed endless spotlights, honor, and praise.

Everyone had high hopes for the winner of a talent show, as they wrote songs, released albums, held concerts, and successfully reached the pinnacle of the music scene.

When she had won, many people had harbored high hopes for her, thinking that she was the most capable and qualified singer they had encountered in the past few years.

However, the truth was that her record had been intercepted, her songs had been stolen, she had been banned and slandered, she had been the victim of online violence, her company had been suppressed, and she had been sued, which had resulted in the most glorious period of her life being wasted.

The entertainment circle was updated so quickly that after a few years, her contract had been terminated. No one knew who she was anymore.

When someone mentioned her occasionally, one might recall who she was. Back then, I voted for her. She was not a good person, so that was it.

“Sheng Sheng, I’ll be honest with you. Compared to the past, there’s no longer a worst-case scenario. I didn’t expect the production team to find me either. When they did, I was quite surprised. My reputation was very bad, and I wasn’t very popular. I didn’t believe there was actually someone who was willing to hire me.” Su Yi’s eyes reddened.

Upon seeing her red eyes, Shi Lingyu, who was easily influenced, cried. “Sister Su Yi, that’s not true! Didn’t your stupid company slander you on purpose? Didn’t you clarify everything?”

“What’s the point of clarifying? How many people will care at this point in time?” Su Yi bit her lips, trying her best not to cry.

It would be best if she did not mention these things. Once she brought them up, her heart would ache and she would suffer grievously.

“Isn’t this how the situation is in the entertainment circle? It’s easy to spread rumors but difficult to crush them. However, you can’t make something good bad. The truth will be revealed sooner or later.” Ling Sheng hugged her to comfort her.
