Chapter 261: Lin Zhixing scolds the reporter
Haiyun Records Company.
In the dance room.
"Brother, who offended you just now? Why are you so angry?"
Super July M member Zhang Donghai passed by the dance studio and heard Guo Jiahe swearing inside, so he walked in to inquire about the situation.
Guo Jiahe has a good relationship with member Zhang Donghai. They are brothers in distress who have both suffered setbacks from Lin Zhixing. They also have many common topics and talk about everything without hiding anything.
"I thought Lin Zhixing would make a fool of himself on "The Singer's Peak", but he turned out to be a bunch of rubbish. I don't understand why the production team asked Zhang Wei to help sing for Adam. If they asked me to help sing, he would never get second place!"
Zhang Donghai shrugged his shoulders and expressed his understanding. "I guess the production team is in a difficult position. There is public opinion. Singers who are too strong are afraid of being attacked by netizens and dare not go on stage."
"Did you watch that show last night, too?"
"Well, in our line of work, we know everything about the entertainment industry. How could we not know the hottest topics right now?"
"Why!"
Guo Jiahe kicked the yoga ball away and said angrily: "Damn, why doesn't the public opinion on the Internet blow against him? Why don't netizens attack him? Why doesn't he make mistakes? When will he be scolded?"
"Haha, speaking of this, I remembered that after recording "Super Brain", I opened a second account and scolded him for a week."
Zhang Donghai was laughing, when suddenly an idea struck him: "I remembered that he has a point that attracts criticism. His previous songs "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "General's Order" have always been about worshipping foreign things, and last night's song "Full Fire" actually used English lyrics. Don't you think this is a slap in his face?"
"You're such a freaking genius!"
Guo Jiahe patted his shoulder excitedly and ordered: "Just write a short essay about this matter, and I'll pay him to make it a hot topic!"
"Okay, bro, I'll do it right away!"
Zhang Donghai chuckled and trotted out of the dance studio.
"Now laugh as much as you can, kid!"
Guo Jiahe stared at Lin Zhixing's wallpaper on his phone, which was set to remind him not to relax at all times. "You will cry soon!"
…
…
Yida Records.
Good Luck Office Door.
"It's exactly 9 o'clock, Xiao Wang, you are really good at punctuality!"
"Brother Dong, I read my fortune and it said I would meet a noble person at this time, so I met you!"
"Go and get busy, boy. Come early tomorrow."
Dong Chen had just finished chatting with his men when he accidentally glanced at the end of the corridor. He quickly walked forward with a smile, "Brother Lin, Pigeon, welcome back!"
“Wow!”
Lin Zhixing glanced at his watch and patted Dong Chen on the shoulder. "You're really conscientious for coming to work so early! There's not much work to do recently, just take good care of Xiao Ji."
Dong Chen smiled and shook his head, saying, "She's fine. She doesn't need any care. She's not that pretentious. I have to take good care of the empire we built together!"
Song Ge asked with concern: "Is Xiaoyu alone in the hotel?"
Dong Chen shook his head and pointed, "She's in the office. She can't stay idle either. Let's go in and talk."
…
"Xiaoyu, why are you still eating takeout?"
Back in the office, Song Ge looked at Ji Yu who was sitting on the sofa and eating heartily, and asked in confusion.
"Don't mention it."
Ji Yu shrugged his shoulders and pointed at Dong Chen and complained, "The food he made is simply inedible. I lost more than three pounds during the few days you were away."
"Being picky, I think it's OK."
Lin Zhixing looked at the two people bickering and suddenly remembered, "By the way, have you met the parents of both parties? How was the communication?"
"Ahem...yes, I saw you yesterday."
Dong Chen and Ji Yu smiled at each other and nodded, "It's not as difficult as I imagined. My mother is very satisfied with her, and her parents like me very much too. Good things are already on the agenda!"
"Brother Lin."
Ji Yu narrowed her eyes and took the opportunity to say, "When we get married, when you come to the wedding banquet, please write a song suitable for the wedding and sing it for us, okay?"
Dong Chen smiled and scratched his head, pointing at her and said, "When we were recording the American episode of Singing Around the World, we went to someone's wedding to sing Sugar together. She was so envious at the time and wanted to have that kind of atmosphere, too."
"no problem."
Lin Zhixing smiled and patted his chest, promising: "Not only will I write a song for you, I will also give you a big red envelope!"
"Thank you, Brother Lin."
…
After a lively chat, Lin Zhixing sat back in his boss chair and got back to work.
The popularity of last night's program is still continuing to ferment. The song "Full Fire" has spread from Weibo to short video platforms and has become the hottest topic on short video platforms.
Almost all singing bloggers on the Internet have covered "Full Fire", and a large number of followers have flocked in, even creating a hot search.
[“Full Fire” is extremely difficult, no singing blogger on the Internet dares to sing the chorus! ]
Lin Zhixing searched for a few videos and watched them. Just as the hot searches said, all the singers stopped recording at the chorus, and he didn't hear any one singing at full speed.
I clicked on the comment section and took a look.
"Promise me you won't lower your pitch next time, okay?"
"It's sung so softly, like in a negotiating tone. This song should be harder and more resolute."
"You played the role of elimination when you went up there. I only listened to you because you were so honest."
As Lin Zhixing continued to brush his brush, the corners of his mouth slowly rose to his ears. The four words "pearls and jade ahead" took on a concrete form at this moment.
He is now almost numb to hearing praises for his great composing skills and prefers to hear good singing.
"Hahaha!"
Dong Chen smiled and walked forward holding his phone, handed it to Lin Zhixing and said, "Brother Lin, I saw a very interesting video. A foreigner sang your song "Full Fire", and the comments were so funny.
Lin Zhixing listened to the poor Chinese and read the comments, and was also amused. This wave of traffic was too strong.
"Youth has no price tag, give your ancestors a blow."
"My ancestors robbed and raised me, so I'm going to fight them right in the face."
"There are so many people singing "full fire", this is the first time I see them firing at themselves."
"Foreign soldiers are also soldiers, come on! - Picture of Yehenara Ying's hook shot."
"Will you really not be wanted if you return to China? Don't join the party before me!"
Dong Chen smiled and put his phone away. He suddenly remembered, "By the way, Brother Lin, there will be another wave of reporters coming to the company for an interview at 1pm. You really gained a lot of attention this time. Your Weibo followers increased by 3 million, and they will increase again after the interview."
"Okay, I understand."
…
…
Qingmang TV Station Building.
In the director's office.
"Come in."
"It's Zhang Wei. Come and sit down."
Director Li Haidong was chuckling as he looked at the data reports handed over by the staff, when he unexpectedly heard Zhang Wei, who was assisting Adam Schubert, walk in.
"Director Li, I won't sit down. I have something to discuss with you. I want to withdraw from the next recording."
Zhang Wei could not withstand the pressure of public opinion. Adam Schubert's fans bombarded his Weibo with harsh comments. He himself did not want to delay his idol, so he decided to withdraw from the recording.
"All right!"
Seeing that he was very determined and knowing that he was in a very difficult situation, Li Haidong agreed readily.
After Zhang Wei left, he looked through the list of singers who had been interested in participating.
"Who should I look for next time..."
…
…
One o'clock in the afternoon.
The first floor of Yida Records Company.
"Here he comes!"
When reporters saw Lin Zhixing coming out of the elevator accompanied by Dong Chen, they swarmed forward with microphones in hand to interview him.
"Line up, line up, come one by one, the microphone is about to be put in your mouth."
Dong Chen protected Lin Zhixing and pushed the reporters aside. "Sister, you come first. I went downstairs to get something at noon. You're the first one to come."
"Thanks."
A female reporter nodded and thanked him. She came to Lin Zhixing, raised the microphone and asked, "Hello, Mr. Lin. I am a reporter from Zhalang Entertainment. Your song "Full Fire" last night was very exciting. The lyrics mentioned Adam and Shanti. Did you write this song for them?"
Lin Zhixing shook his head. "I didn't write this song specifically for them. The original intention of writing this song is my opinion on cultural impact. Global pop culture influences each other every day. Chinese songs should be more international today."
“Thanks for your answer.”
Another male reporter stepped forward and asked, "Lin Zhixing, what do you think of the trending searches on Weibo, which say that your words and deeds are inconsistent and that you are two-faced?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhixing frowned.
Just now, he almost hit me in the face with the microphone he held high. Now, his question was quite rude. How could his words and actions be inconsistent? His tone didn't sound like an interview, but rather like a condescending criticism.
Lin Zhixing frowned and shook his head, "I don't understand what you mean."
“It’s just a topic on Weibo…”
Lin Zhixing raised his hand to interrupt, took out his phone from his pocket, and clicked on the Weibo hot search list, "Wait a minute, I haven't seen it yet, let me take a look."
At a glance, the third on Weibo's hot search list was indeed about myself.
[The words you say are not as good as the singing. As an idol, your words and actions are inconsistent...]
Lin Zhixing clicked on this trending search, which contained several hundred words, basically saying that he was gradually becoming westernized, and even songs like "Full Fire" that promoted national confidence were created using a combination of Chinese and English.
Which colleague wrote this?
This was Lin Zhixing’s first impression after taking a quick look.
"I've finished reading the trending searches."
Lin Zhixing put his phone away, raised his eyebrows and asked, "I see that the topic is harping on the song "Full Fire". Are you also going to ask me why this song that reminds people of the warning has English lyrics?"
"Yeah...right."
The male reporter nodded and moved the microphone closer.
"Next!"
Dong Chen saw Lin Zhixing’s gloomy face and felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Let me give you a simple example."
After a moment of silence, Lin Zhixing pushed the microphone away and shouted, "wqnmlgb, is my words offensive to foreigners? My words may be blunt, but the truth is true."
Having said that, he walked away.
The male reporter held up the microphone and looked at Lin Zhixing's back, his hair disheveled in the wind.
…
Outside the Yida Records building.
Dong Chen ran out and said, "Brother Lin, there are so many reporters here. You were a little impulsive when you just cursed at them. What are you going to do now?"
Lin Zhixing shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly. "Was I cursing him? I was just giving him an example, okay? Hearsay is just a lie. People of all IQs come to be reporters. It's a waste of time to stay here any longer."
"Tomorrow is Song Ge's birthday. I'm going to order flowers for her now."
"Ah? Tomorrow is Pigeon's birthday? I'll go too, I'll go and buy a present!"
…
…
An hour later, Lin Zhixing’s interview video topped the trending search list.
[Famous musician Fengqi Wutong Lin Zhixing swore during an interview with a reporter.] The interview video is also attached above.
It is difficult for celebrities to get on the hot search list when they do good things, but if they do something bad and have some black material, it will be a matter of minutes, and they don’t have to spend money to get on the hot search list. Especially for Lin Zhixing, the traffic king, countless curious people clicked on the topic, and soon the topic reached the point of "explosion".
However, after netizens watched the video, the comment section was full of positive reviews.
[It’s so cool! This answer made my breasts feel unblocked! ]
[That Weibo post was so stupid, it actually managed to incite some people. I guess they all don’t understand what it means in English, hahaha! ]
[I just reported that Weibo post, and I’ll report this one too. If it were me, I’d curse too. The clickbait headlines are so abominable!]
[This singer is so real, not pretentious at all, I’m a fan! ]
As the popularity of the interview video grew, Lin Zhixing not only did not lose fans, but instead saw a surge in fans.
…
…
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
Haiyun Records Company, inside the dance room.
After sweating profusely, Guo Jiahe hummed a song, clicked on the Weibo hot search list, and prepared to have a good time.
But after reading the comments section of the topic, he was dumbfounded.
Inside the staff dormitory.
"Knock, knock, knock... open the door."
"What's wrong, brother?"
Seeing Guo Jiahe coming, Zhang Donghai rubbed his sleepy eyes, sat down on the sofa, closed his eyes and smiled, "I want to hear you read out the good news!"
Can you still read it out loud?
Guo Jiahe was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. He kicked the sofa hard and asked, "Have you seen the trending searches?"
Seeing Guo Jiahe getting anxious, Zhang Donghai quickly sat up straight, "No...no, I stayed up late last night, and went to bed right after I posted on Weibo."
"Then take a good look at it now."
Guo Jiahe threw his phone on the sofa in frustration.
Zhang Donghai was stunned after reading the Weibo post. "My English is not very good. I didn't expect that he meant this..."
"You're not good at English? Didn't you say you didn't even take the college entrance exam and were recommended to university?"
“I really didn’t take the college entrance examination.”
Zhang Donghai scratched his head with an embarrassed look on his face and explained, "But I took the individual recruitment exam and passed it, so I was recommended to Jincheng Railway Vocational College."
"you……"
Guo Jiahe's nose was crooked with anger. He was so angry at that time that he lost his mind and agreed without thinking carefully. It was too late to regret it now.
"Brother, I'm sorry!"
Zhang Donghai returned the phone and bowed to apologize.
"I……"
Guo Jiahe held his head with both hands and roared, "So I spent 200,000 yuan to buy trending searches just to increase his fans by 2 million?"
…
…
Yida Records.
Good luck in the office.
"Brother Lin, I found out who wrote that short essay?"
"Who wrote it?"
Dong Chen pointed at the phone and said, "Some netizens revealed that it was a secondary account of Super July M member Zhang Donghai. Now that account has been cancelled."
After hearing this, Lin Zhixing slammed the table.
"Guo Jiahe, you are playing dirty tricks, right? Just wait for me."
