Chapter 107 Attracting Fans with Strength
Jackson found these words were so mushy.
The moonlight streamed in through the French windows. Jackson's earlobes are quietly tinged with crimson.
He awaited her response, feeling a hint of unease, yet there was not a stir from the other end.
"Lilian?"
Jackson checked his phone and realized the call had been hung up at some point!
His handsome face turned gloomy, and he called again. Then he discovered that he had been blocked again.
Lilian had a restless night and woke up late, luckily she didn't have a part-time job the next morning.
Her deep sleep was interrupted by Shirley's voice, who came rushing in with her phone.
"I'm so mad! Lilian, quickly take a look, you're trending!"
Lilian was pulled up by Shirley. She rubbed her eyes before taking over the phone.
Following Shirley's instructions, Lilian checked out the trending topics and quickly understood the whole situation.
Last night, Wendy posted a short video of herself playing the violin under the moonlight. The video was only half a minute long.
Fans went crazy and asked what song she was playing, praising it as beautiful.
Shortly after, Jenny replied to the fans.
Jenny: [Don't bother searching for it online. The song was bought for thirty million dollars by Wendy's crush as a gift to her. This is the latest arrangement by Light. Light only authorized Wendy to play it once. So if you like it, remember to buy tickets for Wendy's solo concert. Don't miss it.]
Since returning to the country, Wendy had been hyping up her relationship with Jackson. Jenny, as a member of the Franes, flaunted her wealth on Twitter and had over three million followers.
The two interacted frequently, which further confirmed the rumors that Wendy was going to marry into the Frane family, gaining her more followers.
This wave of love display instantly attracted fans.
However, there were also voices of discontent.
[Who is Light? Is he really that talented? I've never heard of him! Wendy is the most outstanding young violinist, it should be his honor to have her play his song. Thirty million dollars for one play is so expensive!]
[Is the profession of composing music lucrative? It costs thirty million dollars to play the song of an unknown composer only once. Eye-opening!]
[I know him. He just released a few so-called original songs online. He can't be considered a composer. Honestly, his talent is just average.]
[He probably knew that Wendy will become Mr. Jackson's wife, so he asked for a sky-high price.]
[Mr. Jackson deeply loves Wendy. This composer knows that no matter how much he asks for, as long as Wendy is happy, Mr. Jackson can afford it, so he raises the price of the song.]
Such comments became more and more in Wendy's comment section. Wendy then followed Light and posted a tweet.
Wendy: [Light is very talented, and I like his style which is why I'm willing to spend thirty million dollars to play it once. Thanks Light for granting me this favor.]
She seemed humble, which made netizens even more excited.
Thanks to her posts, Lillian's Twitter comments were filled with criticism.
"Wendy is doing this on purpose! Those initial fans must have been paid by her. She's just retaliating for your rejection back then! She's hyping up relationship rumors and trying to discredit you. I've never seen a soul uglier than hers!"
Shirley was very angry and argued with netizens online.
Unfortunately, the opposing forces were too large, and she ended up feeling frustrated.
Lilian was fine. She turned off her phone's screen and said, "It's a trending topic. Didn't you notice that I gained over two hundred thousand followers early in the morning?"
"But those are haters!"
Shirley's eyes welled up with tears.
Lilian had been managing this account for five or six years. She mainly composed music and choreographed dances.
She produced at least five original songs every year, which were all of high quality.
Not every song went viral, but her songs were always on the popular music charts every year.
Besides, Her choreography was exceptional. In the past two years, several popular idols had danced to her routines.
She had gained five million followers based on her talent alone, which was not easy!
Was this called lacking talent? Was this considered average?
Wendy wasn't stupid. That was why she got Jackson to willingly spend thirty million dollars to play one of Lilian's songs.
