Chapter 72: So Many Big Shots! All Here for Sienna Everett

Chapter 72: Chapter 72: So Many Big Shots! All Here for Sienna Everett

But it turned out the composer Dustin Everett had hired wasn’t SG, but an industry insider named Sean Cole.

[Weird, doesn’t SG really like Dustin Everett? He publicly took him on as his only disciple. So why didn’t SG help compose for Dustin Everett’s new album?]

[Sean Cole is incredible too! His composing skills are just a notch below SG’s. He’s a top-tier figure himself!]

[HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT! Have you guys seen the sales numbers? Dustin Everett’s new album sold 110,000 copies in one minute! That’s fucking insane! What else would you expect from a top-tier singer at the height of his popularity!]

In addition to his fans, some casual listeners also bought Dustin Everett’s new album.

After all, Dustin Everett was a professional singer with a genuinely great voice, and he had won the Best Singer award twice.

When a star with this level of talent released new music, it was only natural that casual listeners, not just fans, would buy it to see what the hype was about.

[LATEST BATTLE REPORT! Orion Hawthorne’s new EP sold 80,000 copies in one minute! He’s a little behind Dustin Everett!]

[But in terms of revenue, Dustin Everett is way ahead. His album is 30 yuan, while Orion Hawthorne’s EP is only 9 yuan. By that metric, Dustin’s win isn’t even close!]

[By the way, who’s Orion Hawthorne’s mysterious composer? Have they announced it yet?]

[Not yet. So far, they’ve only listed "Lyrics by Orion Hawthorne" and "Performed by Orion Hawthorne." The composer and arranger are still unannounced. This whole thing is really fucking getting to me. I’m dying to know who composed Orion Hawthorne’s music!]

[Just gonna put this out there... but am I the only one who thinks Orion Hawthorne’s new song sounds better than Dustin Everett’s?]

Because Orion Hawthorne and Dustin Everett had released their new music simultaneously, far too many people were online following the event. In the end, this last comment was drowned out and didn’t attract much attention.

「Meanwhile, at Everett Entertainment.」

Dustin Everett watched the sales numbers climb rapidly, a satisfied smile on his face.

Even without the support of his mentor, SG, the results were just as he’d expected: his sales were holding a firm lead.

The gap between him and Orion Hawthorne was only widening. He figured it wouldn’t be long before he’d leave Orion completely in the dust.

’We’ll see what that punk Orion Hawthorne has to be so arrogant about after this!’

Usually, when a celebrity released new music, other celebrities would help promote it on X.

Dustin Everett was keeping a close eye on the online chatter when he suddenly saw that Sienna Everett had gone out of her way to post on X, promoting Orion Hawthorne’s new song.

Dustin Everett’s expression instantly turned cold.

’Instead of promoting her own brother’s work, she was helping Orion Hawthorne.’

’What a disloyal jinx!’

Shannon Everett, who had also signed with the Everett family’s entertainment company, was sitting beside Dustin Everett. A thought occurred to her, and she immediately said, "Dustin, don’t be mad at our sister. I’ll post on X right now to promote your album!"

Dustin Everett couldn’t express how much her words warmed his heart.

’Shannon was so sensible and considerate of her family.’

’Now *this* was the sister he, Dustin Everett, could acknowledge!’

’Not like that backstabber Sienna Everett, who did nothing but work against him!’

Shannon Everett didn’t just post on X to promote the album; she also shared her purchase confirmation, showing she had bought 100 copies at once.

The album had a purchase limit of 100 copies per person, and Shannon Everett had maxed it out in a single purchase.

The online onlookers instantly flocked to the post.

[By the way, Sienna Everett posted on X to support Orion Hawthorne earlier. Did she actually buy his new music?]

[Uhh, no. She didn’t buy a single copy.]

[Erm... Shannon Everett’s support for Dustin Everett seems more substantial, then.]

Just then, netizens suddenly noticed that Keith Sterling had reposted Sienna Everett’s promotional post, adding a comment: Following Sierra’s lead to support Orion Hawthorne’s new music~ I’ll start by purchasing 100 copies~

The netizens’ reaction was immediate: !!! Mr. Sterling!!

Even though Keith Sterling was the head of Sovereign Entertainment, he had never once posted on X to support any of the other artists at his company when they released new music.

But now he was saying he was supporting Orion Hawthorne because of Sienna Everett.

He was clearly doing it as a favor to Sienna Everett!

A moment later, netizens discovered that Isabelle Sutton had also reposted Sienna Everett’s promotional post with the comment: Following Sienna to support Orion Hawthorne’s new music. Already purchased 100 copies!

The online onlookers: ...

Okay, another one.

Isabelle Sutton and Sienna Everett had gotten close on the variety show, so it was understandable she would support Orion Hawthorne as a favor to Sienna Everett.

Yet, a moment later, Selena Hansen reposted Sienna Everett’s X post, commenting: Following my Senior Aunt’s lead to support Orion Hawthorne’s new music. Already purchased 100 copies~

The online onlookers were stunned for a two-count before bursting into wild laughter.

BWAHAHAHA!

Selena Hansen—the one who competed against Sienna Everett on the guqin in the variety show, only to discover Sienna was her Senior Aunt—had joined in too!

Right after, guqin master Winston Jarvis reposted Sienna Everett’s X post: Following my Senior Sister to support Orion Hawthorne’s new music. Already purchased 100 copies!

Netizens: !!!

Holy shit! Even a national treasure-level master like Winston Jarvis showed up!!

Winston Jarvis never got involved in entertainment industry matters, but now, for Sienna Everett’s sake, he’d logged into his X account—which hadn’t been updated in what felt like centuries—just to support Orion Hawthorne. How could anyone not be shocked!

After that, the legendary classical dance master Eleanor Yates reposted Sienna Everett’s X post: Following Sienna to support Orion Hawthorne’s new music. 100 copies purchased~ By the way, is Sienna *really* sure she doesn’t want to be my disciple?

Netizens: !!!

Holy crap, Eleanor Yates is here too!

Another one doing it for Sienna Everett!

But why is Master Yates always trying to recruit Sienna Everett as her disciple? Hahahaha!

Right after that, Dylan Donovan—the guqin collector who once waived a 300-million-yuan fee for Sienna Everett—reposted her X post: Following Sierra’s lead to support Orion Hawthorne’s new music. 100 copies purchased!

Netizens: !!!

Oh my God, another powerhouse!

And another one supporting Orion Hawthorne for Sienna Everett’s sake!

What kind of insane network does Sienna Everett have?

I’m so jealous I could die!

The influence of these powerhouses couldn’t be underestimated. With them leading the charge, the countless netizens who admired and respected them would naturally follow suit and support Orion Hawthorne’s new music.

This carried far more weight than the 100 albums Shannon Everett bought to support Dustin Everett!

In the short period that followed, Orion Hawthorne’s album sales visibly skyrocketed.

The sales gap between him and Dustin Everett was shrinking fast.

When Dustin Everett saw this, his face turned livid with rage. With a loud BANG, he kicked over the chair beside him.

’If Sienna Everett had supported him, all these powerful figures would be supporting him, not that bastard Orion Hawthorne!’

’Now they had all flocked to support Orion Hawthorne, and it was all Sienna Everett’s fault!’
