Chapter 74 External Consultants
Public opinion is getting more and more intense.
Tianwen Entertainment also held an emergency meeting.
"Lan Yuyan, the public opinion on Starnet has affected our company's reputation. Don't you have anything to say?"
One of the shareholders also questioned: "I also want to know why that little female is among the confirmed candidates.
There are many composers in our company who are higher in rank than her, why her?
And she is not a composer under our company. If she were, we would have no objection to you promoting her, but she is not.
Then she can’t take up our company’s resources.”
"Oh, why else? Love makes one blind."
To be honest, if the Lan family wasn't the actual person in charge of Tianwen Entertainment, these shareholders would have spoken even more harshly.
Lan Yuyan's expression was very calm.
After these people finished speaking, he said, “You are really short-sighted.
We do have several veteran composers in our company, but who among them hasn’t participated in a competition, and who has won?
"We can't let outsiders go either. What good will it do us if she wins?"
Lan Yuyan glanced at the man indifferently, with a hint of annoyance between his brows.
Looking at his father sitting steadily on the high seat, with no intention of speaking and just ready to watch the show, he could only explain to these fools himself.
"Do you know how much importance the Federation places on the entertainment industry these days?"
"Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you. Since you don't understand, just sit back and wait for your share of the money. If you really have concerns, sell your shares."
Dear Shareholders,
Don’t they know how much honor it will bring to the company if they win?
The question is, who can guarantee that she can really win?
Therefore, for this kind of opportunity, it would definitely be better to send one of our own veteran composers to participate in the competition.
Even if we lose, it's just the same as usual.
But if they chose that young female, the entire Star Internet would now be filled with suspicions about their shady dealings. If this female lost the competition again, they, Tianwen, would become the culprits that brought shame to the Federation.
Therefore, the best emergency hedge is to replace people with composers who have been famous for a longer time.
There is no need to be afraid of losing, it is just the same as in previous years, and the federal people are used to it anyway.
But it’s different if you have prepared all the reasons for your loss. You will be scolded to death.
If the public boycotts, how much will their company lose?
So no matter what Lan Yu said, most shareholders were against it.
They don't want to take this risk and just want to play it safe.
However, Mr. Lan, who was sitting at the top as the chairman, did not speak a word from beginning to end.
When the debate was almost over, he said, "Let's leave it at that. Minister Lan is right. You really should take a long-term view. Let's adjourn the meeting."
Lan Yuyan: ...So he watched them quarrel for so long just to say this at the very end?
I have to say, his father is really becoming more and more pretentious.
Only his mother could bear it.
When he thought of his parents, when they were at home, they would often act out a love drama of a superior male falling in love with a slum female.
He felt goosebumps all over his body.
***
Netizens on Starnet waited and waited, and finally received a response from Tianwen Entertainment.
In the end, they only released one video.
It was the live broadcast where Jiang Qin responded to the plagiarism.
Then he tagged Jiang Qin and wrote: Tianwen believes in Miss Jiang's ability. She is the Tongtian agent we hired back at a high price.
Let’s wait and see on August 15th!
Jiang Qin, Jiang Qin did not respond.
She did not even respond to those online questions that questioned whether the film works were bought by Tianwen to bring honor to her.
She had already said that she would not respond to such matters anymore.
If you have any doubts, provide evidence.
Don’t turn yourself into Conan on the Internet every day, speculating about this and that.
Despite the strong doubts, the box office of "The Lion Roars" is still rising.
Especially the people from the Institute of Ancient Culture, not only did they read it over and over again, they also checked various records in ancient books overnight.
Finally, some images were sorted out.
But they still couldn't figure it out, so they could only contact Jiang Qin.
What they meant was that they wanted to hire Jiang Qin as an external consultant to help them solve their problems, and the Institute of Ancient Culture would pay her a monthly salary.
And she can enjoy all the benefits of their institute.
For example, you can participate in some archaeological work, visit federal museums that are not open to the public, or get invitations to private auctions.
In these places, people without identity don’t even know the news, let alone participate.
So Jiang Qin was moved.
She was also quite interested in archaeological knowledge on Earth, but unfortunately she didn't have time to learn it.
Now she is also interested in interstellar history.
So she replied: [What is the specific salary? ]
The Ancient Culture Research Institute quickly replied: [Monthly salary: 500,000 Star Coins, plus various benefits and bonuses. You'll also be paid for answering questions on the forum.]
Jiang Qin felt pretty good, as she was one step closer to paying off her debts.
[Can.]
"Professor, Miss Jiang agreed!"
Professor Gu quickly came over and said excitedly, "Quick, ask her if humans in ancient times had a unique cultivation system, such as the martial arts that appear in movies."
The researcher did as he was told.
"Send her the records stored in our database and ask if they are true."
"Professor, are you sure she really knows? What if what she said is not true?"
Professor Gu said confidently, "The records she has must be more complete than ours. We are not even sure whether they are true or false.
I only know some outrageous and exaggerated descriptions, and I can't imagine what kind of ability it is.
But she was able to make it into a movie and was very familiar with the architecture, clothing, culture, etc. of that era, which shows that she must know more than us.
And I suspect she might have some kind of videotape from that era."
They had returned to their home planet for archaeological research before and had unearthed video tapes, but without exception, none of them could be played.
The technology at that time was too crude, and the things were buried in the ground for many years. After they were dug out, almost all of them had rotted away.
I can only piece together some information.
…
Jiang Qin looked at the things sent by the Ancient Culture Research Institute, with a face full of question marks...
Written on the tattered and blurry paper were the following:
Ye Fan shouted loudly and summoned a five-clawed golden dragon. Its body was so huge that it covered the entire sky above Chang'an City.
The old man in black robes did not back down. He laughed twice and said sarcastically, "It's just a small golden reptile."
Then he waved the soul-summoning flag in his hand and summoned a mountain of corpses.
Dense skeletons and corpses are roaring at the golden dragon!
