Not long after I hung up the phone.
The Hong Kong Island Performing Arts Association immediately released a statement of support for Wang Yueheng on its official website and various social media accounts.
The headline reads: "Strongly condemn the act of hiring someone to commit assault; Hong Kong's entertainment industry stands in support of Mr. Wang Yueheng!"
It was clear that the other party had already written the announcement and was just waiting for Wang Yueheng's approval before releasing it.
"Regarding the vicious attack suffered by our council member Wang Yueheng, our association has confirmed through a special investigation that:"
The perpetrator was a South Korean national who had been employed by a certain entertainment gossip media outlet for a long time and received foreign funds to commit crimes.
The attack was specifically targeted at the artist's face, with the intention of ending his career.
The Association took the following action:
Together with the Commercial Crime Bureau of the Hong Kong Island Police Force, they identified the source of the funding chain;
A complaint has been filed with the Hong Kong Island Press Council, demanding that the media outlet in question be shut down and its license revoked.
Establish an 'Anti-Violence Performance Protection Fund' to strengthen the security level for artists.
Hong Kong Island is not a lawless zone! We will bring these criminal gangs to justice!
Wang Yueheng carefully read the contents of the announcement.
Every word is concise and to the point.
What surprised him most was that he had thought the other party was just issuing a statement of condemnation out of moral obligation to appease him.
Surprisingly, they actually shut down several gossip media outlets that were associated with the attack on their foreign paparazzi!
This includes the well-known local gossip magazine, Star Weekly!
Moreover, this association can even directly collaborate with the police to assist in tracking down individuals involved in cases overseas.
This has led to Wang Yueheng, who has been developing his career in mainland China, being affected.
I have gained a deeper understanding of the power of the Hong Kong Island Performing Arts Association.
It seems I need to formally apply to join when they start recruiting new members.
"Lingling~"
That evening, while Wang Yueheng and Mo Zixue were having dinner in the presidential suite restaurant.
Mo Zixue's cell phone, which was on the table, rang again.
The person who called was Zhang Jingying, a singer who was recording her new song "Painting Heart" in a recording studio in Shanghai.
"Hello, Ms. Xiaoxue! I'd like to ask if Mr. Wang Yueheng is available right now?"
"I have some questions about the performance of 'Painting Heart' that he gave me. I wonder if it's a convenient time now?"
On the phone, Zhang Jingying, a senior figure in the music industry to Wang Yueheng, asked cautiously.
Upon hearing the question, Mo Zixue looked up at Wang Yueheng sitting opposite her.
Pointing to the phone's microphone, he whispered using lip reading, "Ms. Zhang Jingying, could you please advise me on your new song..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yueheng simply put down his chopsticks and gestured for Mo Zixue to hand him the phone directly.
"Teacher Jingying, please wait a moment. Yue Heng is right next to me. I'll give him the phone so you can communicate directly!"
After saying that, Mo Zixue quickly handed her phone to Wang Yueheng.
"Hello, Sister Jingying? This is Wang Yueheng. What is it?"
Wang Yueheng took the phone and introduced himself.
"Oh... Yue Heng, hello, hello!"
When Zhang Jingying heard the young singer address her affectionately as "Sister Jingying," she was taken aback.
Feeling the distance between them had been closed, a knowing smile appeared on her face as she explained, "It's like this, I've been recording the new theme song for the movie 'Painted Skin' that you gave me all day, but there are a few parts where I can't quite get the feeling right. I'm worried that singing it my way will distort the emotion of the song, so I have a few details I'd like to ask you, the composer, about. I wonder when would be a convenient time for you, Mr. Yue Heng..."
"Um... Sister Jingying, is it convenient for you to make a video call?"
Wang Yueheng thought for a moment and then asked.
