Anna?
Bailey suddenly remembered, isn't that the person Louis recommended? Has she already come to the company? These days, he's been so busy that he momentarily forgot about this!
Just as Helen finished speaking, the polite man spoke up again, "Minister, I don't think Anna is suitable at all! Even an amateur would be better than her. Not to mention her lack of popularity and work. Let's talk about her withdrawal from the industry because of her marriage. That leaves a terrible impression on the audience!"
Helen, however, waved his hand dismissively, arguing with reason, "Exactly because of that, we should choose her! Since she's making a comeback in our company, we need to give her a stage! I've heard Anna's previous songs, and she sings very well! Plus, Anna's appearance is impeccable. Since that's the case, why can't we choose her?"
The polite man frowned at his words.
"Minister! You're in charge of personnel, and I'm in charge of operations! Compared to you, I know better what a singer needs most, which is popularity! We're not a charity company! Just because she's in the company, does that mean we have to give her a stage?"
"You talk to me about popularity? Don't you know who recommended Anna here?"
"May I ask! How popular is Cic? What if he writes songs for Anna?"
Faced with everyone's arguments, Helen continued to respond forcefully, but at this moment, his face was full of satisfaction.
"You're sure Cic will write songs for Anna?"
"Enough! Stop arguing! I can assure you of this!"
Bailey pressed his hand to signal them to stop.
"Since that's the case, let's go with Anna and Louis! Notify them!"
Seeing the chairman speak, the others could only nod unwillingly. He had another candidate in mind, but unfortunately, he didn't have a chance to mention it before it was decided.
As the meeting dispersed, Helen walked away happily, rubbing his smooth head. This was the first time he had prevailed over these people in such a matter.
Very happy!
Meanwhile, at Shengshi Entertainment, Tianmei Entertainment, and other small entertainment companies, similar scenes were playing out.
In the San Francisco branch of Tianmei Entertainment, Sister Yuan rushed into the rest area, panting heavily. Liu Qian was arranging her red nails in front of the dressing table.
"Ada, good news! This time, it's a blessing in disguise!"
Ada frowned. Because of Sister Yuan's sudden shout, she painted one of her nails too heavily.
"What good news?"
With a tone of complaint, Ada wiped off the nail polish and carefully reapplied it.
Seeing Ada concentrating, Sister Yuan's excited mood was dampened. She looked at Ada, feeling more and more annoyed.
The two of them really couldn't stand each other now.
But as long as Ada didn't fall, she still had to serve this ancestor.
"Star Showcase! The company has decided to let you go! And they've hired famous lyricists and composers to write songs for you! This is the company's way of making up for your loss last time!"
"Star Showcase?"
Ada was taken aback, and she immediately painted another flower on her nail. But this time, she didn't pay attention to it. Instead, she turned her head to her agent to confirm once again.
"Is that the Star Showcase where you can become a top-tier singer as long as you get a ranking?"
"Yes! Are there two Star Showcases? Ada, this is your chance! You must seize it! I've put in a lot of effort to get you this opportunity!"
Seeing Ada getting serious, the agent also relaxed a bit, even changing her address.
"Oh! Star Showcase! I'm going to be famous!"
Ada finally realized, jumping up from her chair, overflowing with joy. She didn't hear her agent taking credit; all she heard was the news that she was about to become famous!
"There are still three days before it starts! Hold steady! This time, the renowned lyricist and composer, William , is writing songs for you! You must sing well!"
The agent persuaded, hoping Ada wouldn't get too excited. After all, the more famous Ada became, the more money she would earn, and this time, the agent also hoped she would get a good ranking!
Ada, however, was unconcerned. She was even more excited after hearing about William.
"Is that William, the one known as the Music Godfather? Then it's settled! What is there to worry about? With him and me, it's an unbeatable combination! Haha!"
The agent sighed but then thought, indeed, while Ada's character might not be great, her singing skills were undeniable, especially with songs from the Music Godfather William. This time, she would definitely make it to the top three.
...
In New York, in the artists' apartment, Anna received a call from the operations department, notifying her to prepare for the Star Showcase in three days. After hanging up the phone, Anna was completely dumbfounded.
Just now, they were still discussing how she should make a comeback, and unexpectedly, the company delivered a pillow right to her door.
Seeing Anna's dumbfounded expression after answering the phone, Freya couldn't help but ask curiously, "Anna, who was it?"
"The operations department of the company notified me to participate in the Star Showcase in three days!"
"Star Showcase? Star Showcase! Ahhh~~ Really? Anna, is it true?"
Freya was only stunned for a moment. The next second, she climbed up and grabbed Anna's shoulders, shaking them back and forth excitedly, ecstatic beyond measure!
"Freya! You're going to make me dizzy!"
Anna pushed Freya's chubby hand away, looking disgusted.
"Anna, did the company really invite you to participate in the Star Showcase?"
Thalia asked carefully, sitting on the side.
"Yes! The operations department just notified me."
Anna nodded in confirmation, and Thalia couldn't conceal her joy. Announcing a strong comeback with the Star Showcase as the stage was excellent!
But the most urgent task now was to find a suitable lyricist and composer.
"I'll contact some lyricists and composers I used to know. Anna, you try to write songs yourself. In the next three days, we must find a good song to make a splash with your comeback!"
"Okay!"
Anna nodded seriously.
Freya raised her hand.
"I'll prepare nutritious meals! According to the previous method! Let's fatten Anna up as soon as possible!"
With clear division of labor, Freya began selecting ingredients for today's lunch, Thalia picked up her phone to contact lyricists and composers, and Anna took out manuscript paper, spreading it out on the table, pondering.
Meanwhile, our Louis was teaching Cicc the second nursery rhyme.
Cicc had been very obedient these days, although it might be because Anna called home every day. But Louis felt that his credit was significant too. At least now, he was completely familiar with the process of soothing children!
Cicc clapped her hands, accompanying Louis, who wore a big grey wolf headgear, pretending to be fierce, but singing cute lyrics.
"Little white rabbit, be obedient, open the door! Open it quickly, I want to come in!"
