Chapter 77: The World of Entertainment 23: The Heavenly Worker and Jiang Nian'an...
"Boss Qin, what should we do now?" The assistant came in hurriedly.
Qin Yuan didn't say anything, but just raised his eyes to signal his assistant to continue.
The assistant didn't waste any time and just turned on the phone and placed it in front of Qin Yuan.
#The ratings of the big production Jiuchongtian on the first day of its premiere were actually defeated by a short video from an unknown marketing account#
This piece of news was posted by an entertainment blogger with a high traffic volume on Weibo. Thanks to netizens' enthusiasm for the life of immortal cultivation at the time and the various loan marketing campaigns before the Ninth Heaven, this post quickly became a hot search topic after it was published, and even pushed the entry they had purchased in advance down one place.
Billions of dollars of investment ended up not being as good as an unknown small workshop. You should know that none of the tasks that appeared in the videos of blogger Tianjie Working People were familiar to the audience. However, it was this makeshift team composed of a group of young actors that conquered the audience who are becoming more and more picky about TV dramas with their strength.
Qin Yuan frowned unconsciously and scrolled to the bottom of the post, which showed the real-time viewing figures of "Xiu Xian" and "Jiu Chong Tian". Although the blogger had only chosen one of the platforms where "Jiu Chong Tian" was available, the 150 million real-time viewing figures of "Xiu Xian" were an overwhelming victory no matter how many platforms Jiu Chong Tian was on.
"Xiu Xian..." Qin Yuan tapped his phone screen. "Go check who invested in this video."
Same subject matter, same release time, even a three-year-old wouldn’t believe that this isn’t the work of a rival company.
The assistant nodded and replied "yes", then left the office.
Then two hours later, he walked in timidly again, covered in cold sweat.
“Can’t find it?!”
Qin Yuan raised his eyes, a hint of confusion flashing in his amber eyes, "Didn't you check the Gu and Su families?"
"I checked, but all the information shows that this Tianjie worker has no cooperative relationship with existing entertainment companies in the industry."
The assistant handed the organized information to Qin Yuan. "Besides that, we also checked the actors who appeared in the video. Miraculously, there's no trace of them in the entertainment industry at all."
"No trace at all?" Qin Yuan was even more surprised.
You know, no matter how unknown an actor is, as long as he has acted in a movie, even if it is just one or two small supporting roles, any entertainment company with a little bit of strength can easily dig out their past.
As a result, his assistant now told him that the information of every actor appearing in the video was blank.
None of them have ever acted?!
Qin Yuan clicked on the video on the Weibo homepage in disbelief, and carefully identified every face in it, but the result disappointed him. He had never seen any of them before.
After all, as a cultivation video that was able to defeat Jiuchongtian and successfully dominate the hot searches, in addition to the novel subject matter, the characters in it are also very handsome, especially the ones with the highest cultivation level, whose looks are comparable to models, and they are among the best in the entertainment industry.
Even Qin Yuan, who had seen many handsome men and beautiful women, had to admit that this kind of appearance would cause quite a stir in the deep pool of the entertainment industry even if just a photo was posted online.
However, he had never met these people.
This means that before today, these people were far away from the entertainment industry and did not exist in major film and drama academies.
So the question is -
Where did this celestial worker who posted the video find so many ordinary people with exquisite modeling and extraordinary acting talent? And where did they film the movie?
As far as he knew, there was no registration record of a crew named "Xiu Xian" in major film and television studios in recent months, and the scenes that appeared in the video were all very unfamiliar. They did not belong to any film and television base, but they did not look like special effects either.
Qin Yuan put down his phone, reached out to take the information and flipped through it, "Heavenly Worker...Did you find anything about this account?"
"No,"
The assistant shook his head and said, "We only found out that this account was registered today. It's a three-no account. There's no company behind it, and it doesn't even have real-name verification."
"No real-name verification?" Qin Yuan raised an eyebrow. "I remember that accounts without real-name verification on Weibo can't post videos longer than five minutes, right? And with such good traffic, it was immediately featured on the homepage... Didn't you negotiate with Weibo?"
"We did discuss it, but they said they didn't know. Furthermore, according to their technicians, the account seemed to have some kind of virus. Even after they tried to delete it multiple times, it remained on the homepage, and they couldn't ban it."
"There's no problem with Weibo's backend, so it must be this account itself that's acting strangely." The assistant told Qin Yuan everything he knew, only asking him not to blame him, the innocent assistant, for the accident that happened today.
In fact, the assistant was overthinking it, because Qin Yuan had no time to be angry with him.
At this time, Qin Yuan was looking at the Q-version avatar of the worker in heaven in deep thought.
Originally, he still suspected that the Gu family or the Su family was plotting against him, but now, after his assistant told him about a series of strange operations on the Tianjie Workers account, he couldn't help but think of the surveillance video posted by Jiang Nian'an a few months ago during the hot summer vacation. It was on the hot search for a whole day before it was barely deleted.
At the time, the Weibo technicians said essentially the same thing they did today: I couldn't delete it. I didn't know if there was a bug somewhere in the program, and the account itself was very strange...
Then could this Heavenly Worker be...
Qin Yuan's fingertips tapped the phone screen involuntarily, and he looked at the only account he followed on his own Weibo account.
"Jiang Nian'an...?"
"Mr. Qin, what did you say?" the assistant asked curiously.
"nothing--"
Qin Yuan rubbed his solar plexus twice to dispel the absurd idea that suddenly appeared in his mind. However, for some reason, the more he wanted to separate the workers from the heavenly realm, the more he couldn't help but connect the Q-version immortal cultivator and Jiang Nian'an in his mind. For a moment, he even saw them become one person.
Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "What has Jiang Nian'an been doing recently?"
"Mr. Jiang?"
The assistant didn't quite understand why Qin Yuan suddenly mentioned this name that had disappeared from the entertainment industry for a long time. He thought that his CEO was tempted by the other person's body again, so he answered honestly:
"Don't worry, Mr. Qin, there's no other man around Mr. Jiang except his stepbrother."
Qin Yuan: "...That's not what I'm asking."
He rubbed his brow and said, "I mean, what has he been doing lately?"
"Mr. Jiang doesn't go out much. He occasionally goes to the gate of the community to buy yogurt. He doesn't interact with many people and isn't looking for a job."
"Has he been idle all this time?" Qin Yuan asked suspiciously.
The assistant was also helpless, "On the surface, that's what it looks like."
The other person is a homebody and doesn't even have a pet, so it's hard to dig out much information from him.
“…Alright.”
Qin Yuan lowered his eyes and looked at the video on his phone. The more he watched, the more he felt that this was Jiang Nian'an's way of taking revenge on him.
After all, from that conversation in the hospital, he discovered that although the young man looked gentle, he had a bad temper and was not someone to be trifled with.
But this person who will never swallow his anger when encountering problems did not react at all to what happened afterwards.
Even if he didn't know that it was Qin Yuan who was controlling everything behind the scenes, what about Shen Nanyi? The other party provoked Jiang Nian'an many times on Weibo and bought all kinds of black material to discredit him, but Jiang Nian'an still didn't react at all.
Apart from that self-proving video, Jiang Nian'an did not post anything else and no longer logged into Weibo. It seemed that he was really ready to quit the entertainment industry as he had said to his housekeeper.
Jiang Nian'an's subsequent actions seemed to indicate that he had lost all interest in the entertainment industry, but Qin Yuan still felt that he would not just give up...
He needs to go look for Jiang Nian'an again, Qin Yuan thought.
However, just as he closed the documents in his hand and stood up to ask his assistant to arrange a vehicle for departure, the assistant spoke at this moment:
"But Mr. Qin, your original plan tonight was to attend the premiere banquet of Jiuchongtian."
In fact, this was originally a celebration party agreed upon in advance with the crew of Jiuchongtian opening champagne halfway through, but unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin showed up halfway through, and everyone's enthusiasm for the premiere party dropped a lot.
Qin Yuan had not originally planned to participate, but——
"Are you saying that the screenwriter who has been in contact with Zhang Yong online will also attend? Moreover, not only will he attend, he also told you..."
"I shall be glad to see him?"
