I transmigrated to a parallel world where the entertainment industry was barely thriving and became an employee at the entertainment company run by my best friend. The company was struggling to grow, hamstrung from within and looked down on from without.
My best friend was called a good-for-nothing, and the artists under him had no future?
We were joining a music variety show where everyone looked down on us, and the company might even go under!
I thought it sounded like fun, so I tossed over a sheet of paper. “Why not give this song a try?”
And so Gu Lixue became a legend with one song, sweeping every major chart.
A top-tier star had a meltdown. “Who let her in? Weren’t we promised a stepping stone?”
I rubbed my nose and silently bowed to my Civilization Connoisseur System.
Later, a rookie I picked on a whim repeated the miracle of rising to fame, while a song I handed to an over-the-hill singer sent him soaring to the top tier.
I turned around and invested in an unknown director, creating a box-office legend.
When top-tier stars from several countries joined forces to crush us and tried to blacklist us,
I slowly emerged from behind the scenes and accepted the flag presented by the authorities.
“I only wanted to sit back and watch the drama, but you wouldn’t let me. So I guess I’ll just... take over the world!”
