Wang Yueheng walked into the house and asked curiously.
"Yue Heng, take a look at this first."
Jay Chou handed over his phone, the screen showing the video of the conflict.
Wang Yueheng took the phone and read it quietly.
His expression gradually changed from initial confusion to seriousness, with his brows furrowing slightly.
When he saw Wu Zongsheng's deliberately provocative questions and live broadcast, his eyes visibly turned cold.
"I never expected that something like this would happen because I came to the concert."
Wang Yueheng handed the phone back, his tone apologetic.
He was indeed somewhat surprised. There had been controversies about him online before, but he usually didn't pay much attention to them.
But this time it's different; it involves Jay Chou, the concert, and even sparked offline conflicts.
"This is none of your business."
Jay Chou waved his hand, habitually covering his chin, "Some people are just too bored, plus that paparazzi is causing trouble. But now the internet is raging, and they've even started making personal attacks on you and your fans."
"I'm thinking, should we speak out together? Otherwise, I'm afraid these people will really ruin the atmosphere of the concert, and our fans will become enemies."
"Your position is rather special, and I'm afraid that if I say anything carelessly, it might cause you trouble. So I'd like to hear your thoughts."
Jay Chou looked at Zhang Heng and asked.
Wang Yueheng pondered for a moment.
He sensed Jay Chou's respect and concern, and understood that if this matter was not handled properly, it would indeed affect tonight's and even future collaborations.
He naturally felt uncomfortable seeing those attacking comments online, especially the unfounded accusations against his fans.
More importantly, he couldn't let Jay Chou get caught in a media storm because of his invitation.
"Teacher Zhou."
Wang Yueheng raised his head, his eyes regaining their usual clarity and composure. "Issuing a statement is certain, but perhaps the content could be presented in a different way."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Jay Chou leaned forward, clearly interested.
“Simply clarifying or refuting might play right into the hands of those who want to generate buzz. They would love for us to respond angrily, so that the topic will become even hotter.”
Wang Yueheng analyzed, "Why don't we... shift our focus from conflict to 'cooperation' and 'the future'?"
He paused for a moment, then shared his idea: "We can take a backstage group photo together, and then I can post it on Weibo—after all, I'm the junior and a guest, so it's more appropriate for me to speak up. In terms of content, besides stating that our friendship and musical exchanges will not be affected by any external noise, we can also officially announce a future collaboration plan."
"A cooperation plan?" Mr. Zhou's eyes lit up.
“Yes.” Wang Yueheng nodded. “For example, we could announce that after this concert collaboration, we will each write a song for the other, and release them together, or even sing them as a duet, at the appropriate time. In this way, everyone’s attention will be immediately drawn to this big news. Fans will look forward to future collaborations and discuss what kind of songs we will write for each other, and those arguments and attacks will naturally lose their appeal. This not only demonstrates our deep friendship and mutual appreciation for each other’s music, but also responds to all doubts in the most positive way—true musicians speak through their works and prove themselves through collaborations.”
After hearing this, Jay Chou was stunned for a full five seconds, then suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That's awesome! This idea is brilliant!"
The annoyance and worry on his face vanished, replaced by excitement and admiration: "Yue Heng, you're really quick-witted! This move is brilliant! Instead of explaining whether our relationship is good or not, you directly tell everyone 'we're so good that we're going to write songs for each other,' giving everyone even greater expectations! This is more effective than issuing ten clarifications!"
"I've wanted to collaborate with you on a song for a long time! Now it's the perfect opportunity! And it'll be very appropriate for you to release it, so let's do it!"
The more Jay Chou thought about it, the more brilliant Zhang Heng's idea of shifting the focus of public opinion seemed.
Let's get right to it.
Jay Chou immediately called his assistant and photographer over, and the two stood side by side in the dressing room.
Jay Chou naturally put his arm around Wang Yueheng's shoulder, while Wang Yueheng stood ramrod straight with a sincere smile on his face.
With a few clicks, several high-quality backstage group photos were instantly taken.
In the photo, one is a king of the music scene, free-spirited and unrestrained; the other is a rising star in the military, handsome and composed.
The background features busy makeup mirrors and clothes racks, creating a natural and welcoming atmosphere.
