Compared to those outside the industry, the reaction within the industry was much stronger, especially in the music scene, where it was like an earthquake. Many people were shocked and frantically called to verify the information.

Fang Yang hasn't been in the industry for long and doesn't have many works, but every song he sings is a classic. Those who wanted to challenge him were all defeated, of course, without Fang Yang's knowledge.

Fang Yang only stays within his own little world, and his songs don't chart on other platforms. This means that Yuewen Entertainment Media doesn't care about what's going on in the industry, but that doesn't mean that people in the industry don't care.

While the top singers didn't participate, many first- and second-tier singers from various companies did. Although they weren't competing on the same platform, the competition for downloads was the same. Despite the fact that Yuewen Entertainment Media's website traffic was insignificant compared to the major platforms, it still couldn't stop Fang Yang from winning more than half of the downloads every time they competed for songs. Over time, Fang Yang earned the nickname "The Great Demon King" in the music industry!

Suddenly, everyone was stunned to hear that the "Great Demon King" was releasing an album. Every year, January and February are the months when top artists clash, especially February, the best time of the year! During the Lunar New Year, everyone is on holiday celebrating, and the music market is as prosperous as the movie market. But the "Great Demon King" has stormed in, and with an album no less!

The established artists, who were all set to release their songs, were feeling wronged. "You big boss, you have no sportsmanship! You've already conquered the TV drama market, what are you doing coming to the music scene? And it's an album with ten songs! How are we supposed to survive?!"

In the music department of Yuehai Media, a somber atmosphere weighed on every singer. Ever since the blacklisting incident with Fang Yang half a year ago, the music department has been getting worse year by year.

Yuehai Media could no longer rely on Northern music programs, as they were blacklisted by the top ten music academies. At the time, Yuehai Media didn't take it seriously, thinking that at most they would just stop recruiting from those schools. After all, there were more than just those top ten music academies in China. However, things turned out to be far more complicated than that. The influence of the top ten academies was enormous. Eight out of ten music directors at Northern TV stations came from the top ten academies. This blacklist effectively blocked half of China, leaving all the singers in Yuehai Media's music department without a stage to perform on.

Unable to perform on stage, income and fame will decrease rapidly. With fewer appearances, their value will drop again and again. For singers of Yuehai Media, releasing songs and getting on the charts has become extremely important. After Fang Yang went out to film for the past two or three months and did not cause any more trouble, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, they can recover their losses!

But to everyone's surprise, at this crucial moment before the end of the year, that kid suddenly came back, and with a bang, he released an album of ten songs! Wasn't he busy filming a TV series? Where did he find the time to write songs? What a stroke of bad luck!

The singers from Yuehai Media were immediately devastated. What was President Sun thinking? Why did he have to target Fang Yang? Fang Yang hadn't done anything to them, so why did they want to kill him? He hadn't dug up their ancestral graves, stolen their wife, or even knew them. Where did this hatred come from?

The singers were completely baffled. Some of them, whose contracts were about to expire, secretly wondered if they should switch companies because they couldn't take it anymore!

Comparatively speaking, the impact on the film and television department has not changed much. The company has invested heavily in several film and television dramas, which are enough to keep these people busy. However, it is said that the drama "Kangxi the Great", which was originally scheduled to be the first drama of the year, has been postponed because it could not meet the time. This matter has angered the director of Hunan TV Station, who fired Huang Jinrong, who had always been on good terms with the company. This may affect the friendly relationship between the company and Hunan TV Station.

However, these are all matters for the company's higher-ups. As long as the actors have roles to play, their income won't be affected. As for company matters, no one cares. I heard that General Manager Sun was furious about it and smashed several of his beloved antique teapots. Also, the contract of the renowned director, Director Wang, has expired and he hasn't renewed it with the company yet. He might switch companies. Sigh, this troubling situation just won't end.

In Kyoto, Zhou Xin, who had just returned home to rest for a few days, packed her bags again, ready to return to Shanghai. Her sisters, Ni Sufeng and Ni Suqiong, were helping her. "Xiao Xin, wasn't Fang Yang busy with post-production editing for 'Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty'? Why is he in such a hurry to release an album? Look at you, you've only been gone for two months and you've already lost several pounds. Next time Fang Yang comes, I'll have to give him a good talking to. How can you film like this? You're making that girl so tired!"

Zhou Xin pouted, "Mom, it's not as bad as you say! Fang Yang is the one who's really tired. He has to film, give us acting instructions, and write books at night. That's what I call tiring! Besides, it's better to be a little thinner. Look at my figure, isn't it much better than before? Hehe, I would have loved to have this figure!"

Ni Sufeng was both angry and helpless. "You brat, are you trying to drive your mother crazy? Your dad's company will be more stable after the New Year. You should just go back to the company then, so you won't be missing all the time. Your grandparents and maternal grandparents are heartbroken!"

Zhou Xin stuck out her tongue. "No way! The scripts from Dad's company aren't good, so filming them wouldn't be very interesting. Besides, Fang Yang's next project is 'Princess Pearl,' and I want to play Xiao Yanzi. You know Xiao Yanzi? She's so much fun!"

Ni Sufeng glanced at Ni Suqiong and saw that Ni Suqiong was sitting quietly with her nose down, not saying a word, just focusing on packing her clothes. She sighed and thought, "Well, this girl is too old to keep. I'm afraid that if I keep her, she'll turn into an enemy!"

When Zhou Haijun got home from get off work, he noticed that Ni Sufeng looked a little unwell, so he asked curiously, "What's wrong? Who offended you?"
