Ji Zehui took Jie Yang to a coffee shop run by someone in the circle.
The coffee shop is located in a remote area with a narrow frontage. It looks inconspicuous from the outside, but it is a different world once you go inside.
When entering the room, Ji Zehui couldn't help but taunt Li Yang, saying, "Without me here to lead the way, a newcomer like you will never be able to come in."
Xie Yang replied: "If you continue to provoke me like this, I believe you will soon lose your status as an insider and will never be able to come in here again."
Ji Zehui choked, frowned and stopped talking.
However, Xiao Jin looked at Li Yang several times.
Ji Zehui took Jie Yang to the private room he usually used, asked the waiter to serve some coffee and desserts, and got straight to the point: "What do you want?"
"No hurry. Before we talk about business, let's clarify the current situation." Jie Yang sat up straight, tapping the table slowly with his fingers. "Re-singing can't erase all traces. The new episode of "Who's the King of Singers" has already started production. Among the materials that Senior Ji Zehui can edit in are willful song changes, not using the songs, singing breakdowns, being criticized by the guest commentators, having a bad face on stage, forcing the director to interrupt the recording, using connections to re-sing... I believe that once these negative materials come out, the sales of "Breaking the Cocoon" will immediately stagnate, and Senior Ji will lose a few endorsements and collaborations."
Every time Xie Yang said something, Ji Zehui's face turned darker, and he almost couldn't help but stand up. Manager Xiao Jin pressed Ji Zehui down and said, "Jie Yang, we don't have to ask you for anything now. Please restrain yourself a little. If you want to suppress these things, we have other ways."
"But with Long Shu still here, it will be ten times more difficult for you to use other methods than usual. The benefits and energy you have to pay for this will also be ten times as much as usual, and even after paying, it may not be possible to completely resolve this matter. As long as I tell a little truth, Ji Zehui will be involved in a scandal. At the very least, the sales of "Breaking the Cocoon" will stagnate, and at worst, Ji Zehui will have no hope of winning an award. If it gets more serious, you will have to let Huang Tian expend resources to help you suppress the news, or simply go the black and red route in the future."
No artist would want to go the black-and-red route, and Ji Zehui really wants to win an award with "Breaking the Cocoon".
Because of their conflicting interests, Ji Zehui and Xiao Jin had to remain calm.
Ji Zehui couldn't help but ask to confirm: "Did you really invite Long Shuyou?"
Xie Yang nodded.
Xiao Jin tried to probe: "What is your background?"
"So far, I have never used my background to pressure anyone." Xie Yang glanced at them, "Can we talk business now?"
Xiao Jin pulled Ji Zehui out to talk alone for a while. When he came back, Ji Zehui had calmed down a lot. He lowered his posture and asked, "How do we talk about business?"
Xie Yang replied: "It's very simple. Although I can't influence and don't want to influence the production team of "Who is the King of Singers" to not cut out all your embarrassing scenes——"
Ji Zehui almost exploded again when he heard this.
"——But, I can speak up for you later and create a straightforward persona for you, saying 'even though what you did was very annoying, you still have a good heart and are very considerate of newcomers.' This way, this show will only become a joke, rather than a source of black material that can knock you off your pedestal."
Ji Zehui calmed down a little.
"If you guys handle it well, maybe you can use this incident to boost the sales of Cocoon Break." Xie Yang poured himself a glass of water, but didn't drink it. He just turned the cup around. "Senior Ji, I believe you didn't intend to target me at the beginning. You were just provoked by a villain. There is no deep hatred or direct conflict of interest between you and me. IUD only sells digital versions, and the group has disbanded. It poses no threat to you. You're wasting your energy to go against me, which is totally not worth it."
Ji Zehui frowned and fell into deep thought.
Xiao Jin is a bystander and sees things more clearly. This time, Ji Zehui went to target Jie Yang completely because he was instigated by Mo Bin using the fact that his album sales were surpassed. He did not stop him before because he felt that if what Mo Bin said was really done, then it would not be a bad idea to take advantage of the situation and step on the newcomer who was about to emerge. Anyway, the company was not very happy with Yang Xing recently. But it was obvious that the newcomer they thought was easy to bully was not easy to bully at all. Instead, once they got involved, they would have to tear a layer of flesh off.
I have been hunting geese for many years, but one of them pecked my eyes. Xiao Jin admitted defeat and asked, "What do you want in exchange for helping Zehui?"
"It's very simple." Jie Yang put down the teacup. "I want Huangtian to ban Mo Bin. Don't tell me you can't do it. Mo Bin is nothing to Huangtian. I don't ask for anything else. Huangtian wants to target Yang Xing, so long as they continue to target him. But I won't allow Mo Bin to continue to roam in the entertainment industry."
Xiao Jin was stunned. He didn't expect that this was what Xie Yang wanted. When he met Xie Yang's calm eyes, he suddenly reacted.
After going through so much trouble and forcing Ji Zehui to reveal so much negative information, Xie Yang ended up just doing it to deal with Mo Bin?
If this was what Xie Yang had planned from the beginning... he suddenly felt terrified.
This new guy is really not easy to mess with.
…
Xie Yang returned to Yangxing with ease.
Hu Biao rushed over immediately and asked anxiously, "How was the recording? Were you bullied? I told you to go with me but you refused. What about Ji Zehui——"
"Stop." Xie Yang scratched his hair that was covered with a lot of stuff by the stylist, "Can I go wash my hair first? It's itchy."
Hu Biao was almost choked to death by Xie Yang.
Wash your hair, wash your hair. Why are you still washing your hair at this time?
But workers have no human rights, so the boss Xie Yang went to wash his hair first.
When Xie Yang came out wiping his hair, Hu Biao was sitting on the sofa with a constipated look on his face, doing his work. Xie Yang was afraid that Hu Biao would suffocate to death, so he briefly recounted today's recording situation, and then explained in detail the deal he made with Ji Zehui after the recording.
Hu Biao was stunned: "You, you mean, Mo Bin is going to be banned?"
"Well, from today on, there will be no more news about him in the entertainment industry. Tell Tong Jian and Ke Lan to stop worrying and just help me make money. By the way, are the fan gifts I asked you to arrange last time ready?"
Hu Biao was already in a trance. He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the storage room: "It's done. It's in the storage room."
Xie Yang threw away the towel and went straight to the storage room.
The fairly spacious storage room was filled with boxes of all sizes. Xie Yang searched carefully for more than ten minutes and finally found what he wanted among a pile of key chains, small fans, pillows, and small blankets.
Those were several sets of cartoon dolls and Q-version figures customized based on the looks of IUD at her last performance. The quantity was limited and they were originally intended to be drawn as special prizes for fans who bought the album.
Xie Yang inhumanely took out two sets and brought them back to his office, then took out the action figures and dolls in his own image and put them into a bag. He then went to the storage room and picked out a few small items with his own cartoon image printed on them to fill the bag. Finally, he went downstairs and asked Wu Shui to take him to the downstairs of Rongding Building and called Qiu Xing.
Qiu Xing answered the phone quickly and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Are you done? I'm downstairs at Rongding Building and I want to go home with you."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then Qiu Xing's voice came out: "Wait."
About ten minutes later, Qiu Xing's car drove out of the parking lot and stopped steadily next to Jie Yang. Xie Yang picked up the bag and got off the car, then got into Qiu Xing's car.
"This is for you." Xie Yang put the bag on Qiu Xing's legs.
Qiu Xing glanced at Jie Yang without saying anything. He reached into the bag and fumbled around, then pulled out a Q version Jie Yang doll.
The doll is only slightly bigger than the palm of your hand, with a big head and a small body. It is wearing a black performance costume and holding a small cloth microphone in its hand. It is very cute.
Xie Yang explained: "This is a doll peripheral that the company made based on my image. There are not many of them. I got one for you. Does it look good?"
Qiu Xing still didn't say anything, but he raised the end of his eyebrows slightly and started to pinch the doll's belly, pinch the doll's face, pull the small microphone, and then, on a whim, he pulled the doll's suit pants.
The pants fell down, revealing two stick-like legs.
“…”
Qiu Xing hurriedly pulled up the doll's pants, in disbelief, as if a storm was about to come: "Clothes can actually be taken off? You want to give this kind of peripheral to your fans? Who designed this doll?"
"It's not a gift, it's a lottery. The clothes can be put on and taken off for easy changing, and the dolls are wearing small underwear that can't be taken off." Xie Yang explained, leaning over and rummaging in the bag, pulling out a set of spare clothes, "Look, there's another set of clothes that can be changed."
Qiu Xing looked at the bag in Jie Yang's hand.
The bag is transparent, and you can clearly see from the outside that it contains a mini white T-shirt, a pair of mini jeans, a pair of mini white sneakers, and even a mini guitar. Qiu Xing recalled Jie Yang singing softly while holding a guitar on the stage, and the storm on his face eased a little. Finally, he pulled down the doll's pants to confirm, and when he saw that there was indeed underwear on, his expression finally returned to normal.
Xie Yang said at the right moment: "Thank you for the clothes you gave me. This is a return gift."
"...You have a conscience." Qiu Xing pulled the doll's little arm again, then stuffed it back into the bag. After that, he took away the clothes that Li Yang was still holding in his hand, and put the clothes and the bag aside.
Xie Yang asked, "Don't you want to read it? There are other things in the bag."
Qiu Xing leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and said, "I'm tired."
This was the first time Qiu Xing confessed to Jie Yang that he was tired.
Xie Yang looked at the tiredness that could not be concealed on Qiu Xing's face, guessing that he might not have slept for long last night due to a headache, so he kept quiet and stopped talking.
After a long while, Qiu Xing suddenly said, "Qinglin contacted me again."
Xie Yang stopped scrolling through Weibo and said, "He didn't contact me."
In other words, Feng Qinglin did not listen to what Jie Yang said that day.
Qiu Xing opened his eyes, his face expressionless: "I know he wants to provoke me, so that I can clean up the Feng family, so that he can benefit. I used to think that he has made great progress to this point, but now I look at you, and I find that I was wrong."
"I tried to assume the future. In the assumption, Qinglin had been successfully pushed to a high position according to my original plan, and all the enemies of the Feng family were in his hands. He was as hard as iron, and all his interests were obtained by calculating his relatives. After several years of planning, everything went smoothly... Then, he met you in the business world."
Xie Yang recalled the ending of the original book, where the hero successfully took control of the Feng family and their enemies, and reached the top of the business circle. He asked, "Meet me, then what?"
"Then he will lose to you, with no chance of winning, and will be defeated miserably. He has only learned how to calculate the hearts of his relatives, and he is completely unfamiliar with real business competition." Qiu Xing folded his hands on his abdomen, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly gloomy, "Jie Yang, you are right, I spoiled him too much."
"So what are you going to do?"
Qiu Xing stopped talking and closed his eyes again. After a while, he suddenly raised one hand and gently placed it on the bag next to him.
…
At around nine o'clock that evening, "Who is the King of Singers" released the first preview video of the new episode.
The title of the video is "A Different "One Sword Conquers the Spring and Autumn Period"", and the cover shows Jie Yang standing sideways in a practice room.
Everyone who had read the "objective review" article was excited and clicked on the video.
The video is not long, just over a minute.
The scene begins with Ji Zehui asking Jie Yang.
How is the adaptation going? 】
Xie Yang answered while taking out his cell phone. [Almost done.] I made an instrumental version myself, with your original voice. I'll sing along with the original voice. Would you like to hear the result? 】
Ji Zehui agreed, and then Jie Yang plugged his phone into the playback device in the practice room.
"One Sword Conquers the Spring and Autumn" began to play, and Jie Yang did not move until the first chorus was finished. Here the scene cuts to Ji Zehui's expression, which is very serious.
After the chorus, the accompaniment suddenly changed, and Xie Yang finally opened his mouth.
Here is a close-up of Jie Yang's face, looking very serious.
Then the preview video ended.
Everyone: "..." Dirty words.jpg
