Chapter 269 Going Viral Directly
Simone had been extremely busy in the past ten days. Harry’s song had been successfully recorded. First, she had Gary’s team use the previous variety show to generate buzz. As Harry’s song was frequently shared on short videos, the buzz started to rise again.
Due to the poor sound quality from the bar recording, many people requested Harry to release this song. When the buzz had reached its peak, Simone arranged for the release of Harry’s song and also took the lead in sharing his new song on Facebook.
Zac immediately followed suit and shared it as well, and so did Keira, Eric, Dylan, and Tina.
Fiona and Ethan from the same studio also shared it. To everyone’s surprise, Leon even shared this song on Facebook. With Simone and others sharing it on Facebook, the buzz continued to skyrocket.
Coupled with the high quality and pleasant sound of this song, it exploded in popularity and quickly soared to the top of the new songs and hot songs charts on major music platforms, and Harry became popular as well. Especially since he was already handsome, he gained even more fans, and the number of fans skyrocketed rapidly, which made many singers envious and jealous.
Behind the scenes, they all said that Harry was fortunate to have joined Simone’s studio. With Simone paving the way, he was able to become popular with just one song. Many B-list artists wanted to join Simone’s studio because she was truly amazing; not only did she revive. Fiona, but she also made Harry popular overnight.
Because of the two of them, Simone’s studio went viral directly. As long as they weren’t artists. who were deliberately slacking off, who wouldn’t want to become popular? So, some artists whose contracts were about to expire or who were being suppressed by their companies. contacted Simone’s studio to express their intention to join.
Simone was about to participate in a variety show and had two dramas to film, so she didn’t have the time or energy to manage artists for the time being. However, Lisa was interested, so Simone allowed her to do the screening herself. If there were any talented and decent. individuals, they could be signed to the studio.
June didn’t want to go abroad and wasn’t interested in buying stones and jewelry. Perhaps it was because she had always been dragged into this field by Jane, so she had developed a psychological shadow. After living with Lisa, June became interested in being a manager and wanted to try this path in the future.
Simone had Lisa bring June and also contacted a coach to teach her. Now that there were artists interested in signing with the studio, it was a good opportunity for Lisa and June to

On this day, Simone called Harry and Ethan to her office. Looking at Harry, she said, “Jonah contacted me and said that if you want to continue being a guest, you can join the final. episode. Mr. Reich from Star Entertainment gave me some resources a few days ago, including a singing variety show. I just wanted to ask, which one do you want to participate
in?”
Harry didn’t hesitate and said, “I want to participate in the singing variety show.” His greatest passion was music, so he preferred to participate in this type of variety show,
Simone’s eyes filled with a smile. “I knew you would choose this one, and I also think this is the one you should choose. Your recent song has become popular, and now is the perfect time to solidify your popularity. Although this variety show may not have the same level of popularity as the other one I was on, it is more suitable for you.”
In their show, Harry was a later addition as a guest. Although he could take advantage of the current popularity and increase his fame, the show provided a limited fan base. If he participated in a music-oriented variety show, she believed that he would perform even better and gain more fans.
Harry agreed. That’s what I think, too, and I do prefer music-oriented shows.” He was grateful to have met Simone, a manager who looked at the future from an artist’s perspective. If it were his previous company, they wouldn’t care about what suited him better.
Although he wanted to continue appearing on the show with higher popularity, he realized that he wasn’t very good at expressing himself and had an introverted personality. Because he lacked a sense of humor, game-oriented variety shows were not his strong suit. If it weren’t for Simone’s guidance in the previous episode, he would have been marginalized as a background character, but he felt that he could perform better in the singing variety show.
Simone said. Then, I will arrange it for you. This variety show will take place in half a month, so prepare yourself well. I will have Lisa accompany you, and she will handle any issues that may arise.”
Lasa had strong work abilities and could handle these things without any problems.
Harry nodded with a smile. “Okay, thank you, Miss Gray.”
After Simone finished talking to Harry, she turned to Ethan and said, “Your role as the second. male lead has already been filmed. So, for this episode of the variety show, I plan to take you along because we need more people to know you and can’t miss out on the opportunity to ride the wave of popularity”
Jonah had given her studio a spot for a guest, and they couldn’t waste it. Fiona was still filming and Harry was going to participate in another show. Therefore, she decided to give Ethan the opportunity, which would also serve as a promotion for the Republican-era drama they filmed together

Ethan smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll listen to your arrangements.” He knew that Simone was not the kind of manager who liked to exploit artists; whatever arrangements she made, they were always the best for them, and he believed in her.
Returning his smile, she said, “Let’s go with this arrangement.” Then, she handed him a script and said, “This is a detective mystery drama. I’ve secured an audition opportunity for the male lead role for you. Go back and study the script. I’ll accompany you to the audition in three days. I’ve read this script, and the detective mystery plot is intricately woven, with constant suspense and hooks, which are very exciting. There’s not much romantic storyline. or melodramatic love affairs. I think this drama has the potential to become a hit, so I hope you can secure the male lead role. The character’s personality and temperament are quite different from yours, but I believe that it can be a great improvement for your acting skills. If you aspire to pursue a career in acting, it is essential to be versatile and not let your image become fixed in the minds of the audience.”
This was also one of the resources and rewards provided by Felix. In her previous life, when she passed away, she had not heard of this drama and was unsure if it was being filmed or if it ultimately did not materialize.
However, she was genuinely fond of this script and believed that its mystery plot was excellent. If executed well, it had the potential to make someone famous, and her only wish. was for Ethan to secure the male lead role.
Ethan received the script and felt a surge of excitement because he had always enjoyed watching detective mystery dramas and had even hoped for an opportunity to participate in one in the future. Little did he know that Simone would present it to him on a silver platter, and it was even the male lead role.
She was truly remarkable.
He responded, “You have chosen the right script. I will study it diligently and give my best performance during the audition.”
Simone nodded and said, “Great. If you have any uncertainties or need to rehearse, feel free
to come to me.”
In the Republican-era drama, he had acted alongside Simone and was aware of her exceptional acting skills; she could effortlessly immerse herself in the scene, which was truly impressive.
He smiled and said, “Alright, if I have any questions, I will seek your guidance, Miss Gray”
Over the next three days, whenever Ethan encountered difficulties or struggled to grasp certain aspects, he sought help from Simone. Patiently, Simone explained the scenes, taught him techniques, and rehearsed with him. As a result, he successfully secured the male lead role in the audition, where Simone accompanied hum.

After confirming Ethan as the male lead, she approached the director in her capacity as a manager. That was when she overheard the director lamenting that a previous investor had suddenly withdrawn their funding. Due to the company’s financial issues, they were unable to provide the necessary funds.
Simone finally understood why, in her previous life, she had not seen any news about the filming of this fantastic script-it turned out that they lacked financial resources.
Therefore, she expressed her willingness to invest 4.5 million and urged the director to prioritize quality and use props and costumes that could withstand scrutiny. All thanks to the money brought by those three despicable men. After donating three million to charity, she still had six million that she could freely utilize.
Naturally, the director was overjoyed, and as he and Simone conversed further, they found themselves more compatible and confirmed their collaboration. In this manner, a few more days passed, and it was time for the final live variety show.
This time, the guest. Luca, was replaced by Andrew. Tina and Dylan, the cameo guests, continued to participate. Meanwhile, Harry was replaced by Ethan.
As for whether there would be any more cameo guests midway, Jonah had not decided. They wanted to see the effect of the show before making a decision.
The production team bought plane tickets for the guests this time and let them fly to Cubilis
on their ownL
Simone went with Ethan, while Zac brought Dylan along. Then, Keira and Eric became a pair.
The six of them flew together. Leon, Aaron, and Tina flew separately while Andrew and Jodie rode together. Her injuries had healed, and even the scars on her head were no longer visible.
The meeting point was in Cubilis.
Jodie and Andrew arrived first, followed by Leon and Aaron. When Leon saw her, she took the initiative to greet him. “Leon, you’re here!”
However, he ignored her and walked past without acknowledging her. He even stood far as if he wanted to distance himself from her.
away
Her face showed a hint of grievance, feeling extremely embarrassed. In her heart, she cursed that Leon was becoming less of a gentleman. Even his mother could not control him.
anymore.
He ignored Jodie, who then looked at Aaron and asked, “Aaron, why weren’t you with us?”
Aaron thought to himself, I dare not. I’m scared. On the surface, he smiled lightly and said. “I flew from another place, so I didn’t make plans with you guys.” Then, he found an excuse to talk to Leon and walked over to him. At the same time, he distanced himself from Jodie and Andrew
As such, she felt even more wronged than before. She could not understand why Aaron would treat her like this. So, she whispered to Andrew, “Is Aaron still mad at us?”
“I think he wants to stay away from us
“But I think were a family and shouldn’t be separated.”
We should still try to include Aaron in our group later Maybe I can find an opportunity for Aaron to tent his anger on me
