Chapter 89
In the days that followed, Porter Entertainment and Aura Media Group both released new songs, each vying for a top spot on the annual charts.
Starlight Music Platform, with its hundreds of millions of users, was their primary battleground, and a fierce competition began across its various charts.
First, Shane’s entertainment company released a song that broke into the top 100 on the Annual Hot New Songs chart. Then, not to be outdone, Aura Media Group released two new songs.
One of them had already surpassed Porter Entertainment’s song.
On the most influential download chart, both had also entered the top 100.
The two companies were locked in a fierce battle, and while many smaller record labels also released songs, Mercer Vision Entertainment was only focused on these two.
This was because the smaller companies couldn’t compare to the big three in terms of their songwriters’ caliber, the singers’ skills, or their promotional power.
A newly established company like Mira’s Solflare Entertainment was completely off the radar of these industry giants.
This was actually a good thing, as it allowed them to avoid unnecessary trouble and develop quietly for the time being.
Although the two songs Mira and Gavin had recorded were finished, she wasn’t in a hurry to release them. She would wait for the right moment.
In other news, through Gavin’s connections, she had successfully poached his mentor, Callum, from Porter Entertainment with a high salary. He was now the company’s music director, which put Mira’s mind at ease.
Gavin also introduced two of his friends, Asher and Trevor Bishop.
Although Mira didn’t know much about them from her previous life, she trusted Callum.
If they had his approval, their skills couldn’t be lacking.
Drawing on her memories from her past life, Mira wrote two more relatively famous songs for them to practice and record for a later release.
Once Solflare Entertainment had built up a certain level of recognition, she could arrange for them to appear on variety shows and secure roles in movies and TV series.
For now, she had to take things one step at a time. To build Solflare Entertainment into a well-known entertainment company, she needed capital, equipment, talent, and fame—not a single element could be missing.
Meanwhile, in the Mercer Vision Entertainment office.
Ethan asked Adrian, “Dad, shouldn’t we release our two songs now p>
The general manager also walked over and stood respectfully before Adrian. “Chairman, everything is ready. We’ve already coordinated with the media p>
“Are you sure there won’t be any problems p>
“Yes, I’m sure. We’ll do a
simultaneous live release, primarily on the Starlight platform. Given the current situation, taking the number one spot shouldn’t be a problem p>
Adrian nodded. “Good. But let’s not rush. Let’s let things play out for a bit p>
The best part of the show is always saved for last.
“The chairman is wise p>
At the same time, Mira, Kieran, and their team were also observing, looking for the best time to release their songs.
The next day after the rankings of the other two companies’ songs had stabilized between 50th and 100th on the hot search chart, Mercer Vision Entertainment finally released their meticulously crafted songs “You in the Sunset” and “Little Bee.
That evening, Mira called Kieran. “It’s time p>
Less than half a day after Mercer Vision Entertainment released their two songs, Adrian, Ethan, Damon, and their music director, Vincent, were a glued to the charts, watching their rankings climb steadily.
Just as they were about to overtake the other two companies, a record company
called Solflare Entertainment also released two songs.
“Look, there are two new songs here. Their rankings seem to be climbing fast p>
Adrian glanced at the name. Solflare Entertainment? Never heard of it.
He then looked at the songwriter, Lune. Just some newcomer from who-knows-
where. Not enough to warrant their attention.
“Wait, that name Lune sounds familiar p>
