Chapter 289
Huayao was unusually quick to debunk the rumor this time, but the newly released image, emblazoned with a bright red "Fake," created a rather awkward atmosphere when it was shared in the chat group. This was primarily due to the fact that Huayao's debunking efforts coincided with the release of Zhou Xiao's animated music video.
For fans of other companies, getting a response from the company is the most important thing. Although their tone in urging Huayao in the group is very bad and a bit blunt, in fact, this is also because they are being urged more by their own fans.
In the docking group, except for the docking numbers of Ji Shao's fan club, other fans posted Hua Yaofa's photo on their blog almost immediately.
An awkward atmosphere erupted at this moment. Having just wiped the sweat off his face and taken a deep breath, he hadn't had time to relax. His fans were frantically urging him to delete his posts. After watching Zhou Xiaofa's MV, he hurriedly went online to delete the content or take down his followers.
Meanwhile, Digital, who always considered himself quite rational, was now somewhat bewildered. A lot had happened today, from Di Jiangtong's music video being filmed by his own fan club members, to Ji Shao helping out with backing vocals. Finally, Xindong was reportedly planning to produce a music video for Ji Shao, which was then deliberately made a trending topic.
At first, she couldn't contact her own fan club, so she could only turn to the contact person privately to inquire about the situation. Then she received Huayao's anti-counterfeiting clarification directly in the contact group.
As she forwarded the fake-busting image to the group, she was thinking about discussing appropriate rhetoric with the other members of the fan club, how to minimize the impact of this trending topic. Suddenly, Muzi in the fan club group forwarded a blog post, and the group fell silent, just like the fan-operation communication group.
Suddenly, the chat page began to flood with comments. After a moment's surprise, Digital tapped the link. Almost instantly, the recently released video was flooded with comments.

The video is the MV of the "Autumnal Equinox" doujin animation
[Oh my god, I burst into tears at the last moment [crying loudly] Wuwuwu teacher, you are truly a god-like existence]
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, so they really are "producing" an album! Huayao, you really should kowtow to my sister with every step and pray for her blessings and light candles! Having my sister in Ji Shao's fan circle is the happiest and luckiest thing in the world!
I quickly counted the Xiao Shao paintings that appeared, but after reaching 100, I was so dazzled I gave up... Every image perfectly matched the lyrics of "Autumnal Equinox." The last scene with the light signs really gave me goosebumps. I admit, I cried. TAT
【The greatest work in the world was born at this moment】
The transitions were so smooth I thought they were real animation. I was like, why do they look so familiar? This is how I imagine Xiao Shao's MV looks like!!! The teacher and I are in a lockstep!
I live just to watch this music video you made! [Bow] This is the greatest thing in the world. +1]
【……】
The MV's immediate release quickly saw over a million views, instantly bringing down the fanbases of both groups. The fierce competition between the fans, previously fierce on trending searches and in the comments sections of marketing accounts, was instantly overwhelmed. This MV was a complete and utter stunner for fans of both groups.
Chen Zhuzhu, who was actively discussing the trending topic with her teammates' fans on the front lines, couldn't help but feel puzzled when she saw that she hadn't received a response to the text she had typed. The person she was arguing with was so quick-witted at first that Chen Zhuzhu almost asked her sister to come and speak for her.
She was just regretting not having enough fun arguing, and when she refreshed her page to wait for a reply, she found that the other person's profile picture had been blacklisted. In fan circles, blacklisting a fan's profile picture is a taboo, usually a sign of imminent departure or unfollowing. It's even rarer to see someone like this, who was arguing with her one moment and then blacklisting the next.
Curious, Chen Zhuzhu went to the other team's homepage and was stunned. Why would a teammate's fans repost their own Xindong teacher's blog post? Wait, it seems to be a new video!
Just as Chen Zhuzhu was about to open the video, her sister suddenly knocked on the door. Then, an excited little face popped in. Chen Yuyu, holding her phone, saw that her sister was indeed in the room and excitedly asked, "Chen Zhuzhu, have you seen the MV that Xindong sister posted?!"
…
At that moment, all questions and doubts vanished before the MV, creating a sense of drama. And for those who had just watched Di Jiangtong's MV at noon, it was like pie in the sky. One second, they were just getting curious about Zhou Xiao, and the next, there was a new MV to watch!
After watching the MV produced by Zhou Xiao for Ji Shao's new song, although it was different from what passers-by had originally imagined, it was also a bigger surprise for everyone.
I immediately went to Blueberry Music to buy "Autumnal Equinox." Some curious viewers suddenly became interested in the original MV, but after watching it for a short while, they closed it and looked for the heart-pounding version to refresh their minds.

Ah!!! I was just about to recommend this, but the original poster got there first! I'd be sad for anyone who hasn't seen this MV posted by Sister Zhou! Every frame is so beautiful it could easily be used as a wallpaper!

I saw a bit of gossip in a certain blogger group. I heard that Blueberry was very dissatisfied with Huayao's MV shooting and wanted to reshoot it. Then they asked to compare it to Zhou Jie's homemade MV. Help, I really burst out laughing! I have to say that reshooting is a good thing, but choosing the wrong target is really bad, hahahaha
…
The songs that can drive traffic to the show are generally those from blockbuster movies or TV series with strong audience bases. A prime example is last year's "The General." With the film's immense success, its theme song became the undisputed most popular song of the year and a hallmark of NINE STAR.
The speed with which this MV went viral and the subsequent impact it generated also exceeded Zhou Xiao's expectations. The MV had such a strong impact on so many people that even Director Fang, who was directing the film, took time out* to chat with her. As a director, the conversation turned to the long-awaited "Flowering Journey."
"'Fan Hua Xing' has been submitted for review, and the license may be issued around November," Fang Xi said on the other end of the phone. Her voice was a little noisy, and it was obvious that people were still on the filming site.
"Congratulations to Director Fang. The certificate was issued quickly, which means the drama will be aired soon." Zhou Xiao was surprised, but also felt more happy and blessed.
The reason for this surprise is that it's very common for period dramas in China to be shelved, and it's normal for them to be shelved for a year or two. The speed of "Flower City" is so fast that it can even compete with positive energy youth urban dramas.
"Haha, at first I was telling you to edit the wrap-up special to practice, but now it seems like you're being wasted," Fang Xi said in a friendly tone, with a smile on her face. This made the actor who had just been scolded by her on the set shrink his neck, as if awakened, and immediately put down his phone and picked up the script on the table to read it carefully.
"Flower City" is a rare period drama with limited resources. It's not that the stockpiled resources are scarce, but rather that they are relatively scarce relative to the audience and fans. The wrap-up special Fang Xi entrusted to Zhou Xiao is actually quite important. If it's well-made, it could even be used to attract investment.
The two chatted briefly, and Zhou Xiao waited until Fang Xi hung up before reopening Blueberry Music and playing two new songs by Ji Shao and Di Jiangtong. Each song had its own harmonies, and listening to them one after another was quite interesting.
If Zhou Xiao were to open the comments section for Ji Shao's "Autumnal Equinox" on Blueberry Music right now, he'd find that comments that had amassed over 100,000 likes a few days ago were now being eclipsed by today's fresh replies. Among them, one comment simply stated that someone bought the song on the platform after watching the new MV, and it immediately garnered over 200,000 likes.
Today's sales of "Autumnal Equinox" even ranked second on the sales chart, behind Di Jiangtong's new song. This is also due to the fans' manipulation of the score... Everyone remembered that today was Di Jiangtong's home performance with Ji Shao, and many fans actively went to the hot search square and forum to share and give away Ji Shao's new song album.
Speaking of leaks, Blueberry Music was naturally well-informed. They could clearly see whether the backend data for Ji Shao's "Autumnal Equinox" was faked or accumulated bit by bit by regular users. After sensing the impact of the MV on the album, they began to feel dissatisfied with Hua Yao, the instigator of all this.
Of course, the source's revelations shouldn't be taken with a grain of salt, but they do share some similarities. For example, Blueberry Music complained to headquarters. After internal discussions between Blueberry and Huayao, Blueberry finally secured Huayao's commitment to filming the music video for their next album.
At the same time, the platform has also made some small moves. They have arranged for someone to contact Zhou Xiao and apply for the right to use the MV.
…
Inside the slowly moving nanny car, Chen Shenju was leaning back in his seat, watching the music video Zhou Xiao had made for Ji Shao, over and over again. It was one thing to anticipate it, but it was another to actually see it with one's own eyes.
Glancing at Song Xiao, who had fallen asleep next to him, Chen Shenju turned his head and was about to close the MV he was watching to catch up on some sleep. Unexpectedly, a furry head suddenly popped up from behind him and whispered, "Don't close it yet, I haven't finished watching it yet!"
Chen Shenju stopped moving and suddenly felt an earphone stuck in his ear. He turned around and saw Ji Shao tiptoeing to put the other half on him.
"Brother Chen, turn up the volume a bit." Ji Shao leaned his hand against the back of the front seat. Song Xiao had taken his phone away when they were taking the official photos, so he didn't want to disturb him but wanted to watch it naturally, so he came to see Chen Shenju.
Chen Shenju didn't object, and just as he was adjusting the volume, Ji Shao suddenly spoke up from behind him, "Brother, please help me talk to Sister Xiaoxiao about the copyright."
"Copyright?" Chen Shenju's mind was still stuck in the past. To him, fan-made secondary creations for artists were free to use. His previous agency was generous enough to just give him a package of endorsements and autographed photos, never mentioning copyright; they simply used it for commercial purposes.
"Yes, copyright." Ji Shao smiled slightly in the back seat. "Maybe I'll try filming it later."
