Chapter 057 Complaint
As the discussion heated up, more and more people saw the negative reactions. It was the first time they saw such a special project, and even people who were not fans of Wax&Wane joined in the discussion.
[The angle is tricky, and the selected reviews are so real. There are always people who make a big deal out of it and find fault everywhere. 】
[You are already in the entertainment industry, why do you still care so much about other people's opinions? Is it necessary? 】
[Why can't you care about it? Besides, the little idol has a good attitude. Do you have to be so servile and nod your head to everything he says? 】
[Isn't this project just for fun? Why are there people who are willing to speak out and identify themselves with the project? xs]
In addition to the quarrel, there was also a large-scale Amway event, attracting more people to become interested in Wax&Wane.
[I was deeply hurt by the collapse of their personalities before. I haven’t chased idols for a long time. This group is so interesting. I am moved again. I hope they won’t fail…]
[Those who have been fans since before their debut strongly recommend Wax&Wane. The feeling they give is different from those of other groups. How should I put it? It feels very real. You will understand after following them for a while! 】
[I agree with the above comments. It makes people feel that they are very sincere and I really want to witness their growth. If you have paid attention to Lin Chi Ran, you will probably understand. They have similar temperaments and are both very dedicated to their careers. Career fans are very happy. 】
[I always thought idols should be perfect, but I didn’t expect that after seeing their true side, I didn’t feel disillusioned at all. This group has magic. 】
The more netizens praised Wax&Wane's honesty, the more despicable the "Lucky 7" program crew seemed. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the difference, and the so-called true face and dark material of the idols were not so attractive anymore.
Instead, it was the program crew that got into trouble. They offended many people not long after the show started. The fans of the artists who were treated unfairly by them could not swallow this bitter pill and came out to step on the program, calling on the audience to boycott the program.
The program production director saw that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction. A black-and-red was still a red, but a drop in ratings was not a good thing, so he quickly found Mr. Li, the senior executive who arranged for him to do so.
Mr. Li watched the situation develop and was so angry at Lin Chiran's action that his face turned very dark.
I had hoped that the show "Lucky 7" would be able to surpass Strawberry Channel, and that the credit for the success would be able to make up for the losses from the "Music Life" incident. But now it's all been ruined by Lin Chiran.
No matter how I think about it, I just can't get over the fact that I was fooled by a young producer who is less than 30 years old. He should be taught a lesson. Don't think that you can do whatever you want in this industry just because you have a little talent.
The TV station and the entertainment company have a close relationship, and they cannot afford to offend Shenghuang as a whole. However, Mr. Li believes that it will not be difficult to discipline a former artist and current new producer under their company.
With the connections he had accumulated over the years, he quickly came up with a solution, which was to let Shenghuang Entertainment's own people handle it.
"Mr. Wu, long time no see. I'm Xiao Li from Honeydew TV. You took care of me before. I heard that you returned to China recently..."

The public relations department continued to monitor online public opinion about the incident and intervened when necessary, ultimately achieving the desired result. Lin Chiran could now focus on the production of the second single.
When the lyrics were revised and polished, all the lyrics and music requested by the copyright company were received, and Lin Chiran and Qu Qinghuan screened them together.
"This song is quite suitable." Lin Chiran chose a song that is very suitable for the theme of family affection: "The song itself is not particularly complicated, the melody is moving, and it fits the positioning of warmth very well."
Qu Qinghuan couldn't find a more suitable one, so he put down the other songs in his hands and started playing this one. It was indeed as Lin Chiran said, the quality of the song was good, and it fit the theme of the song very well, giving people a very gentle feeling.
As Qu Qinghuan listened, he got an inspiration. After a little thought, he said, "The last part of this song is very suitable for chorus. If there is a choir harmony, the effect will be good..."
Speaking of choirs, Lin Chi Ran naturally thought of the student choir that he had participated in a music show with: "Is the Xingye Choir suitable?"
At the time of the lip-syncing incident, Lin Chiran had contact with the choir's instructor and had contact channels if he wanted to collaborate.
Hearing this name, Qu Qinghuan suddenly looked up: "Do you know them?"
"We know each other." Lin Chiran replied: "If you want to cooperate, you can contact them to see if they have such intention."
"It's quite suitable... Let's ask about their intentions first." Qu Qinghuan seemed to be thinking about something. As a student choir, Xingye Choir basically doesn't participate in any commercial activities. He wondered if Lin Chiran would get any results if he asked.
The remaining songs have also been finalized one by one, only requiring slight modifications, and waiting for the main song to be composed by Qu Qinghuan.
"I've reserved enough time for you. Can you hand in the music on time?" Lin Chiran determined the theme and lyrics early on, leaving enough time for Qu Qinghuan, hoping that he could create a satisfactory work.
Qu Qinghuan vowed: "It should be quick this time." The theme proposed by Lin Chiran was very inspiring, and as long as he didn't worry too much, he would be able to submit the song on time.
Lin Chiran was a little suspicious. Qu Qinghuan was always missing when he was composing music. It seemed that he had to keep an eye on the progress to avoid any mistakes.

The progress of the second order was progressing smoothly. One morning, Lin Chiran was about to contact the instructor of the Xingye Choir to discuss cooperation when he suddenly received an unexpected contact.
"Chi Ran, we haven't contacted each other for a long time. Do you still remember who I am?" A middle-aged man's deep voice with a kind smile came from the other end of the microphone.
Lin Chiran was surprised. Why would he contact him suddenly? "Uncle Wu?"
A hearty laugh came from the other side: "Chi Ran still remembers it. It was not in vain that he loved you when he was a child."
Lin Chiran smiled and replied, "Of course I remember you. Grandfather always mentioned that you have become more energetic in the past two years and have been traveling around in a very carefree manner."
After his idol graduated, Lin Chiran returned to the old house much more frequently. His grandfather's attitude became more moderate and he would often talk to him about these things.
"Boss Xu still remembers my old bones." The man's voice was a little emotional: "I have to thank him for his appreciation back then. I can be so free now."
Lin Chiran knew this story. In the early days of its establishment, Shenghuang was just a well-developed record company. With Xu Sheng's vision, it expanded rapidly, and the help of right-hand men like Uncle Wu was indispensable.
Xu Sheng has a very good eye for people, and Uncle Wu was promoted by him. During his tenure, he was mainly responsible for cooperation with major TV stations on film, television and variety shows. He is capable and loyal, and has made great contributions to Shenghuang's development over the years.
Uncle Wu found a suitable successor a few years ago. He was not greedy for power and retired directly. He traveled around the world with his wife and returned to China not long ago.
"Chi Ran, Uncle Wu has something to remind you of." The man's tone was mixed with helplessness: "Little Li from Honeydew Melon TV has come to me to file a complaint against you."
"Little Li from Migua TV..." Lin Chiran took a while to react.
"Has there been any conflict with Honeydew Channel recently?" Uncle Wu asked. He trusted Lin Chiran, but he still had to get things clear.
Lin Chiran suddenly understood. He was talking about Mr. Li from Honeydew TV, a relative of the dismissed director Li Hong. To Uncle Wu, he was indeed Little Li.
Bursting into laughter, Lin Chiran explained the whole story to Uncle Wu.
"What kind of bullshit has he done! He has the nerve to come to me to complain." Uncle Wu was angry. If he hadn't come to ask Lin Chiran specifically, he would have been intimidated by him.
Lin Chiran had not expected that Mr. Li would come to Uncle Wu and accuse him of something wrong: "Uncle Wu, what does he want to do with you?"
"He said that you disregarded the friendship between Shenghuang and Migua TV that has existed for so many years, and when you did something wrong, you led the circle to attack the TV station, causing resentment in their station..."
Uncle Wu found it ridiculous when he heard it. Lin Chiran grew up under Xu Sheng's nose. He didn't look like the kind of second-generation rich man who would bully others by taking advantage of his power. What's more, he had never publicized his background to the outside world.
"You have a plan. You want me to report it to the company, hold you accountable, and undermine your rights as a producer." Uncle Wu sighed, "Luckily you came to me. I know your character. Otherwise, it would be a lot of trouble if you replaced me."
After hearing this, Lin Chiran was silent for a few seconds: "Uncle Wu, did I go too far?" That's why people hate me so much.
Uncle Wu comforted him, "You are still young, and it is normal for you to be full of youthful energy. When I was your age, I was not as cautious as you. Being drastic is a good thing, but in this circle, without the support of status and background, you have to be more tactful and not too sharp."
"If you hadn't come to me, who knows your identity, and someone else who didn't care about the truth and just wanted to do favors and trip you up, it would have caused a lot of trouble for your career development."
After listening to Uncle Wu's words, Lin Chiran had to admit that he was right, but he still had some concerns in his heart.
"Uncle Wu, this group I'm leading is very important to me. I don't want anything to go wrong, but I'm not willing to give in either. Is this the only way I can rely on the power of the company?"
As expected, he is a young man. Uncle Wu smiled and answered: "It is not shameful to use these forces. Many people are uncomfortable with the unspoken rules and trends formed in the circle over the years, but they do not have the capital and ability to fight against them.
"You have so many years of experience and a strong enough background to support you. You are the one who can do this and is the most suitable person to do it. I heard that you said the same thing when you wanted to become a producer. You wanted to do something different from the current style in the industry..."
Uncle Wu was still talking, and Lin Chiran's heart was in turmoil.
He has always tried to avoid relying on his identity or background. One reason is that they don’t want to expose the pain of the previous generation to the sun again, and the other reason is the subconscious rejection.
He once believed that it was shameful to do things based on his identity or background. No matter how capable he was, it would be blamed on his identity or background. For this reason, he never used any resources other than the identity of "Lin Chi Ran".
After hearing what Uncle Wu said, I suddenly understood. There are some things that only he can do, and he is the only one who can do it. In order to achieve the ultimate goal, even if others talk about it, what does it matter? Hasn't he been doing this all these years? How could he fall into this blind spot?
I can't suppress this feeling and I sincerely thank Uncle Wu for his advice.
Uncle Wu was also very moved after hearing this: "Boss Xu has been trying to make changes over the years. He wants to reduce obstacles for you when you take over and give you room to display your talents. He has been secretly adjusting the company's operating system and power structure, and he also pays special attention to your development..."
Lin Chiran was stunned. Has his grandfather been paying attention to him...?
