After Xie Yang got in the car, he didn't say anything else and his expression was very serious. He rarely looks so unhappy.
Wu Shui looked at him through the rearview mirror and asked with concern: "Boss, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Xie Yang adjusted his expression, took out his cell phone and called Hu Biao, telling him about the group being surrounded by paparazzi.
Hu Biao was happily discussing the decoration plan with the decoration company. After receiving the call, he was furious and said, "Mo Bin has really learned the style of Huang Tian's love of making trouble. He even dragged Long Shuyou into it. He knows that the Long family and Long Shuyou are not easy to mess with. He is making enemies for you!"
"He's making enemies for himself. Remember to keep the two tickets in the center of the VIP seats empty and send them to Mo Bin and Long Shuyou respectively. Remember, the tickets must be next to each other."
Hu Biao was stunned: "Ah? Send it to Long Shuyou?"
"Yes, since Mo Bin brought me Nagarjuna's beats, I will ask Nagarjuna to come and listen to it in person to see if the music I composed is his. When you send the tickets to Nagarjuna, you can attach the first version of the new song we recorded. After listening to it, Nagarjuna will most likely come. I want to see how Mo Bin will respond when they sit together after I reveal to the paparazzi that it was Mo Bin who brought Nagarjuna's beats!"
Hearing the coldness in Xie Yang's tone, Hu Biao imagined the scene of Mo Bin and the lonely genius Long Shuyou sitting together. He felt a little happy, but also a little conflicted. He said, "What if Mo Bin doesn't come?"
"Then create public opinion to get him to come. How can he, the former captain of IUD, not attend the fifth anniversary performance? Also, do you have any dirt on him? Threaten him."
Hu Biao: “…” So cruel.
After ending the call with Hu Biao, Xie Yang opened the small group and found that everyone was discussing whether there was a traitor around them. Today, so many paparazzi suddenly sneaked into the recording studio's parking lot, and they knew exactly which elevator everyone got off from. It was very unusual.
Xie Yang typed: Don’t doubt it, there must be one. There was not much time left before the performance and time was running out, so there was no time to change to a new recording studio. After returning home today, I will carefully screen the staff around me. If there are any problems, keep them aside and fire them directly after the performance. Chen Hao, go contact the security department of the recording studio and ask them to hurry up and not let something like what happened today happen again.
As soon as the discussion in the group stopped, everyone saw the anger in Xie Yang's words and responded quickly.
Xie Yang continued typing: From today on, don’t respond to anything on the Internet. Focus all your attention on the performance. Brother Biao and I will handle the rest.
After instructing everyone in the group, Xie Yang opened Qiu Xing’s WeChat again.
Xie Yang: I have a small business to discuss with you.
Qiu Xing replied immediately: What?
Xie Yang: Does Rongding have a live streaming platform?
Qiu Xing: What do you want to do?
Xie Yang: I want to broadcast my first stage performance live, so as to provide my future fans with some material to slap the faces of haters.
On the other side, the hospital.
Qiu Xing looked at Jie Yang's arrogant and confident words, snorted and laughed, the discomfort during the treatment seemed to be less severe, and typed: He Jun will help you contact him.
Xie Yang didn't expect Qiu Xing to agree to his request so readily. His mood, which had been somewhat bad since he was stepped on by the paparazzi, improved a little bit and he typed: Thank you.
…
That night, the paparazzi posted what Xie Yang said in the parking lot on Weibo. Among them, his words inviting "someone" to watch the performance were circled by the marketing account, which labeled them as "arrogant" and "disrespectful to seniors in the group."
There are many people who just want to watch the fun and enjoy the trouble, and online public opinion has once again become chaotic.
Various of Xie Yang's classmates, childhood friends, and neighbors came out to anonymously reveal that Xie Yang absolutely could not compose music, and that although Xie Yang had studied music when he was a child, he was not very good at it.
There are even some of Xie Yang's college classmates who directly mocked Xie Yang for having a big face on Weibo, saying that everything Xie Yang shows on the Internet now is actually a fictional character. The real Xie Yang is timid, stupid, and withdrawn. He can't understand his professional courses. It is absolutely impossible for him to compose music across majors. They implicitly imply that the music Xie Yang composed must have been bought.
There were many comments criticizing the performance, some even said that without Mo Bin's IUD, the show would have no soul, and there was no need to watch the performance of these three rubbishes and a troublemaker. Some people also mocked that Jie Yang was really willing to spend money to buy Dazhou and spared no effort to promote himself.
In this atmosphere of public opinion, the IUD fans who had originally stopped boycotting Jie Yang because Jie Yang paid for the performances fell silent, and the previous carnival and joy were no longer seen.
On the night when tickets for the show went on sale, Hu Biao suddenly sent a string of “Hahahahahahaha” in the group chat.
Tong Jian was frightened: Brother Biao, what’s wrong with you? Are you maddened by all the nonsense online?
Hu Biao directly sent a voice message to the group, saying, "No, someone just sent me a message saying that Mo Bin is determined to ruin our performance and is secretly contacting scalpers to snatch up all the tickets for the performance, leaving our performance with empty seats! He is going to spend a lot of money."
After a brief silence in the group, everyone laughed. Among them, Tong Jian laughed the most exaggeratedly, with one emoticon after another.
After hearing Hu Biao's message, Xie Yang also smiled, locked his phone, picked up the violin and continued practicing.
At midnight that night, tickets for IUD's fifth anniversary performance were officially available for purchase. Countless fans and scalpers immediately selected the tickets they wanted and clicked to buy them.
Then a registration interface popped up.
Fans and scalpers were all dumbfounded.
Um? Why isn't this the payment page?
Just as everyone was flooding the screen with questions, Hu Biao slowly stepped forward and posted an explanation on Weibo: Oh, I forgot to tell you that you don’t have to spend money to buy tickets for IUD’s fifth anniversary performance. Just fill out the purchase intention form, and we will use the backstage screening and lottery method to select real IUD fans from the registered ticket purchase intention holders to randomly give out tickets. Everyone must fill in that information carefully. If you have bought an album, please provide your purchase record or show a photo of the album. If you have supported a concert, please fill in which concert you have attended. If you have bought a photo album, you can also show it. These are all considered screening criteria.
As soon as the Weibo post came out, IUD’s fan circle was shocked again, and then the fans went crazy with excitement, and the scalpers were furious.
The topic #iud performance free tickets# quickly became a hot search.
Not long after, a new trend suddenly emerged, saying that although giving away tickets is a good thing, it is completely unfair. Are new fans not eligible to watch the show?
Hu Biao slowly posted another Weibo post: Don’t worry, the fifth anniversary performance is a way to give back to fans, and we naturally want to let all fans see this performance as much as possible. We have already negotiated cooperation with the Zexing live broadcast platform. We will broadcast the fifth anniversary performance exclusively on Zexing. Everyone is welcome to watch.
A live broadcast room address is attached at the end.
Live performance?
Everyone who was paying attention to the ticket grab tonight was stunned, and then public opinion exploded.
…
Xie Yang, who was forced to go to bed early and get up early, did not see the scene of Hu Biao teasing IUD fans and scalpers in the middle of the night. When he got up and took out his mobile phone to check Weibo, Weibo was already filled with a joyful New Year atmosphere.
On the hot search list, the topic #iud live performance# is currently high on the list, with the word “explosive” at the end.
Xie Yang looked through his Weibo and found that there were fewer people scolding him. In addition, several fans secretly sent him private messages to apologize and thank him for his hard work in providing free tickets to IUD's fifth anniversary performance.
Xie Yang smiled, put his phone in his pocket, and went to the recording studio.
Time is running out and there are too many things to learn and practice. After the ticket rush ended, all members of IUD officially entered closed-door practice mode.
Xie Yang had to go out early and come back late, and the only thing he could eat with Qiu Xing during the day was breakfast.
After enduring for three days, Qiu Xing lost his temper: "Are you so busy?"
"This is what artists do." Xie Yang turned around and took out a small, exquisite envelope from his backpack and pushed it in front of Qiu Xing. "Here you go."
Qiu Xing didn't answer and asked coldly, "What is it?"
"VIP tickets, the best seats. Brother Biao is very stingy, he only gave ten private VIP tickets to each person, all ten of mine are here."
"Really?" Qiu Xing reacted coldly. He slowly finished his porridge, got up and left without taking the ticket.
Xie Yang raised his eyebrows, didn't take the ticket, and went out after breakfast.
When you are busy, time always passes quickly. Xie Yang no longer cared about what was happening on the Internet and left it entirely to Hu Biao. Every day he practiced singing, playing the piano and dancing with Ke Lan and others. It was a closed environment whether he opened his eyes or closed them. It was tiring but fulfilling.
Finally, ten days before the performance, all practices stopped. As if they had been locked up for a short and hard time, Xie Yang and the others came out of the dance studio, got on the car to the styling studio, and prepared to try on the performance costumes that had just been delivered the day before.
As soon as Xie Yang got in the car, he leaned back and closed his eyes. He hates the feeling of being tired, so he has been taking advantage of every opportunity to rest during this month.
Hu Biao knew that Jie Yang was actually listening, so he said directly: "A total of 50,000 tickets have been sent out. From today on, except for two rehearsals for the performance, you will use the rest of your time to rest and take care of your voice. I have made an appointment for you to take care of your body, so go and do it. Don't be lazy. Don't eat heavy food these few days, do you understand? The performance is live, and so many people are hoping that you will mess up. When the high-definition camera is pointed at your face, all that will be revealed is your haggard face full of acne. Is that reasonable?"
Tong Jian was amused by Hu Biao's statement.
"Be serious!" Hu Biao glared at Tong Jian and gave him a long-winded instruction. Finally, he suddenly said, "Mo Bin apologized."
Xie Yang opened his eyes. Tong Jian and the others also quieted down and looked at Hu Biao.
Hu Biao frowned: "It's not a sincere apology, it's just another rhythm. He found a way for himself and said he would come to watch the show... Don't look at me like that."
Tong Jian and others withdrew their gazes, and silence filled the car.
"Five years..." Ke Lan started, smiling with disappointment and resignation, "He really doesn't care about IUD at all." If he cared, he wouldn't treat everyone like this at this time.
Xu Chenhao said: "He thought IUD still had a future, and was afraid of being left alone and becoming a complete joke, so he tried his best."
But actually no, this was IUD's last show.
The atmosphere in the car became increasingly depressing.
Xie Yang sat up, held out his hand, and said, "End it well."
Everyone looked at Jie Yang, then sat up, put their hands on his, and clenched them tightly, saying in unison: "End it well!"
On October 20th, the weather was nice and it was a sunny day.
Xie Yang came down from the third floor carrying his violin. When he passed the living room, he found that Qiu Xing had not yet gone to the company. He walked up to Qiu Xing and said, "I'm going to get my hair done to prepare for the performance tonight."
"Really? Good luck." Qiu Xing was swiping his phone without even raising his head. His attitude was perfunctory, as if he didn't want to pay attention.
Xie Yang suddenly squatted down.
Qiu Xing paused, looked at Jie Yang, and asked expressionlessly, "What?"
"Let's go see the show. Ke Lan and the others have family and friends to support them, but I don't. In City B, besides my teammates and agent, I only know and am familiar with you, so go see my show."
Qiu Xing didn't move or speak. Perhaps because he was looking down at people from a high position, his eyes looked a little deeper than usual.
"What if I say no?"
"Then I can only beg you." Xie Yang smiled, "Qiu Xing, I beg you to come and watch my show."
The door opened and closed, and Xie Yang left.
Qiu Xing put down his phone for a while, frowned and said angrily: "You don't have the attitude of begging for help at all, what a lousy expression...Liu Sha!"
