Chapter 36 Passing the Preliminary Round
Qin Weiwei was the first to react.
"Chu Chu, are you saying this is your own original song?"
Seeing Jiang Songchu nod, everyone fell silent for a moment.
Jiang Songchu suddenly felt uneasy and could only ask, "Is it inappropriate?"
Unexpectedly, everyone suddenly burst into cheers, startling the other students.
"Jiang Songchu! Let's use this one!"
Qi Yue jumped up excitedly, "I will definitely practice hard so that my dance is worthy of this song!"
Qin Weiwei smiled and nodded, "Chu Chu, I agree to use this song too. You've worked so hard, you're really amazing!"
The other students were also very excited and all agreed to use "Moon Bond" as the background music.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Jiang Songchu brought up another matter: "There is one more thing I would like to discuss with everyone."
"I will release this song as a single later. I wonder if we could use the performance we did at the gala as the music video?"
Upon hearing this, everyone stared wide-eyed at each other, momentarily unable to believe their ears, as if they had heard something unbelievable.
Song released?
MV?
Qi Yue was so excited that she pointed tremblingly at Jiang Songchu and asked incredulously, "Jiang Songchu, you wouldn't happen to be some celebrity in the entertainment industry, would you?"
A thoughtful look flashed across Qin Weiwei's eyes, then she laughed heartily, "The dance and music were both produced by Chuchu. I just danced, and I didn't expect to experience being on camera in a music video. I'm perfectly fine with it."
Qi Yue also realized what was happening and excitedly chimed in, "No problem, no problem! Jiang Songchu, remember to send me the post after you publish it! I want to post it on my WeChat Moments to show off, hahaha!"
After getting everyone's consent, Jiang Songchu returned to her dormitory that evening and sent a message to Chen Yun.
Jiang Songchu told Chen Yun that the students had all agreed to use the program performed at the gala as the content of the music video, but Chen Yun still needed to communicate with the school leaders about the filming.
Chen Yun said there was no problem and promised to take care of the props, costumes and makeup artist for the show.
He also said that if needed, he could bring his classmates to Hongtian Entertainment's practice room on weekends to practice.
After resolving this major concern, Jiang Songchu lay contentedly on the bed and began her immersive learning session for the day.
Time flows by quietly like water, and the days move forward slowly at a leisurely pace.
At school, Jiang Songchu's studies, rehearsals, and evening overtime work all proceeded smoothly.
On Friday evening, as the last rays of the setting sun faded, Jiang Songchu stepped into her home and was greeted by Grandma Feng's warm and friendly words.
"Hey, our little Chu is finally back!"
Grandma Feng greeted Jiang Songchu with a smile, taking his hand in hers, her eyes full of affection and amusement.
"Your grandpa has been looking forward to this since morning, and he's been happy all day!"
"Grandma, please stop teasing me. Where's Grandpa?"
Jiang Songchu responded with a smile, her eyes searching for her grandfather's figure inside the house.
"Your grandpa's on the sofa, he's been waiting for you for ages!"
"You can tell from the barely suppressed smile on his face that something good must be happening!"
Grandma Feng's words carried a hint of mystery and joy.
Jiang Songchu turned his gaze to Grandpa Xie, and saw an undisguised smile on the old man's lips, a smile that clearly carried a hint of pride and satisfaction.
A thought flashed through her mind, as if she had already guessed some of it.
She playfully curled the corners of her lips, feigning a puzzled look, and asked, "Grandpa, what wind blew today? It made you so happy!"
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Xie burst into laughter, almost dropping his cane.
He quickly reached out and picked up the things on the table. He held the certificate high as if it were a precious treasure, pointing at the words on it with a face full of pride.
"Xiao Chu, look at this! What is it?"
"Preliminary Certificate for the 'National Ink and Brush Cup' Competition! Our little Chu has successfully passed the preliminary round!"
Jiang Songchu accepted the certificate and carefully examined every word on it, feeling an indescribable surge of excitement and pride.
"I always knew my granddaughter was born to draw!"
"Sure enough, when those old guys saw Xiao Chu's calligraphy and painting works, their eyes widened and they kept asking me which master's work it was."
"They still refuse to believe that this is my own granddaughter's work."
When Grandpa Xie got to this point, he first pretended to be angry and snorted, but then he couldn't help but smile broadly.
"Congratulations to Xiao Chu on successfully passing the preliminary round! Time to prepare for the final round!"
When talking about the upcoming finals, Grandpa Xie became even more energetic.
"Xiao Chu, the finals will be held in Kyoto on October 5th, during the National Day holiday."
"Grandpa will personally accompany you then, and we, grandpa and grandson, will witness your glorious moment together!"
Jiang Songchu smiled and nodded in agreement, while also telling Grandpa Xie that her agent or assistant might accompany her.
Grandpa Xie readily agreed, since he himself often brought his assistant with him when attending events, and had no objection to it.
This was something Chen Yun had discussed with her before.
Chen Yun had told her that she would personally accompany her to any event, big or small, as long as she was available, and if she was not available, she would arrange for someone to accompany her.
Firstly, it was to deal with emergencies, and secondly, it was to record every wonderful moment of Jiang Songchu for easy documentation.
Chen Yun assigned Jiang Songchu an assistant named Aman.
This is a young girl who has just graduated from university and still retains a bit of a naive student air.
Because I love following new stars, I didn't pursue a career in my major after graduation. Instead, I entered the entertainment industry, starting as a junior assistant.
Of course, the assistant position at Hongtian Entertainment is something many people can only dream of, as both the salary and benefits are quite attractive.
Although the starting point is not high, working for a large company like Hongtian Entertainment is a dream opportunity for many people.
Jiang Songchu already has many online accounts on various platforms, all of which were registered for her by Aman.
Back in her room, Jiang Songchu didn't rush to rest, but instead curiously browsed various online platforms.
Although her account is still empty, with no followers or followers, she doesn't care.
She is busy familiarizing herself with the functions and features of various platforms in order to prepare for future promotional work.
Weibo has a trending topics list, Xiaohongshu is a great place to share life, and Yinfu is a gathering place for short videos... Jiang Songchu learned about the features and functions of these platforms one by one.
After getting a general understanding, she stopped using those apps.
After confirming that all the students who participated in the dance performance had arrived home safely, she put down her phone, washed up, and went to bed.
