After the release of Long Xun's music video, the increasingly heated online arguments suddenly came to a halt.
They didn't continue to say anything bad about him, but they also didn't say anything good about him.
It was as if the Demon King's haters and fans had eloped to the ends of the earth at the same time, disappearing from the internet in an instant, as if the Demon King's music video had never been released, and as if the celebrity Long Xun, nicknamed the Demon King, had never appeared on the internet.
However, the staff responsible for monitoring the data at Xinhai Weibo's backend looked at the unbelievably smooth data flow and checked it several times in a daze, but found nothing wrong.
The silence lasted for an hour, as if the whole of China had launched an event to turn off the lights and the internet for an hour.
Then, a sudden outpouring of news swept across Weibo, Baidu Tieba, online forums, group chats... and every online tool people used for communication was flooded with posts from the same person.
Dragon Seeks the Great Demon King!
I wonder how many people watched this music video and were moved to tears, gritted their teeth, and felt a shared sense of righteous indignation. They didn't even have time to wipe away their tears, sniffling and staring with tear-streaked eyes, and in their blurred vision, they took out their phones or opened various communication tools on their computers to vent their feelings.
Within just five minutes, Xin Hai's Weibo account became a jumbled mess of garbled text and could no longer be accessed.
After that, Baidu Tieba and Tianya Forum also crashed one after another.
Even the networks of China Telecom and China Unicom experienced some instability, with countless people suddenly losing internet access and unable to open web pages or QQ.
All the telecommunications companies were experiencing a bittersweet experience. They urgently added temporary servers, and Xinhai fixed most of the Weibo accounts as soon as possible. However, Longxun's account was still inaccessible.
Countless complaint calls were made to Xinhai Weibo's customer service.
No one cares anymore about the previous comments that Long Xun was just good-looking and had no real skills; no one cares about his appearance anymore.
That song touched the hearts of everyone. The young and energetic heard its passion, the middle-aged and weary heard its encouragement, and the elderly, already past their prime, heard it recalling the ups and downs of their lives. And those ups and downs, just like in the song, were things they believed would pass, and eventually they did.
This is a battle song, but it is more than just a battle song. It is so passionate and so tragic that it will awaken a sense of patriotism and a willingness to sacrifice one's life for the greater good, regardless of age or background.
It was as if life and death had transcended his mind.
This kind of infectiousness, this kind of song, has transcended pop songs and risen to the level of art. However, it is a song that can be appreciated by everyone, regardless of their taste or background.
Who can say that Long Xun has no talent?
Who dares to say he has no talent?
From then on, anyone who said Long Xun had no talent, not only would his fans disagree, but even music masters could drown him in their spittle.
...
The events that happened online were kept completely hidden from Long Xun, Yin Chen, Ye Tan, and Mu Chunfeng, who were focused on filming.
With the music video project completed, the actual filming of the zombie world project was put on the agenda, but Long Xun and Bai Tang had a slight disagreement on this point.
Bai Tang believed that both movies and TV series could be filmed, but Long Xun only wanted to make movies and rejected the idea of making TV series.
"Mr. Long, I have no objection to making a movie, but it would be a shame not to turn such good material into a TV series."
Inside the meeting room, Bai Tang maintained a humble smile and spoke slowly, neither humble nor arrogant: "As you can see, apart from you, Mr. Yin, Young Master Biao, and Mr. Ye's acting skills are all a bit lacking. The MV, which should have been recorded in one day, took six days to complete. If we film the TV series first, their acting skills can be fully honed, and it won't be too late to film the movie later."
Long Xun shook his head: "They don't have many scenes in their movies."
"But they don't yet have the acting skills required for the film."
"Targeted training."
You mean...?
“The Long family is not short of money. Let them practice the same shot until they are good.” Long Xun raised his eyes and stared at Bai Tang calmly. His calm eyes seemed to exert pressure out of nowhere, making Bai Tang, who wanted to object, unable to say anything.
“They are not celebrities, so they don’t need to worry about their future acting careers.” Long Xun stood up: “That’s it. Let’s start the filming of ‘J Virus’. While giving the four of them special training, we will continue to find the people I need.”
Bai Tang: "...But boss, based on the information we've found about Ka Mo, Yu Duguang, Zhang Moyu, and others, apart from my cousin Bai Gui who is currently studying at an arts school and has some acting skills, the others can't act at all."
“Let’s train together,” Long Xun said rather coldly.
Bai Tang: "..."
Today he discovered that his boss was actually a dictator who didn't listen to his opinions at all!
Looking at Bai Tang's complex and almost distorted expression, Long Xun thought for a moment and then explained, "The 'J Virus' is planned to be filmed in three parts. The main actors in the first part are Ye Tan, Mu Chunfeng, and Bai Gui. They only need to play themselves. What you need to teach them is how to move around. As for the other characters, they don't have much screen time. Just film them casually, and the real scenes can be edited together. The TV series is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive."
Bai Tang: "...I understand."
He was simply approaching the filming issue with his original mindset, forgetting that he already had a ton of excellent footage that, with a little editing, could easily be edited into many films suitable for the big screen. These past few nights, he had been enjoying watching those footage with stories, plots, and explosive moments, almost forgetting that they weren't finished products.
