Chapter 126

  Recently, who has he offended? ... After the New Year, he has been abroad and basically hasn't returned to China. He is also busy every day and doesn't have time to care about other people's gossip, how could he offend anyone?

  "I didn't offend anyone, I'm abroad, how could I have provoked this? Is it a mistake? Generally, reviews don't take more than ten days or half a month, 'Who's Listening' was reviewed for three months before going live, how did this result come out so quickly?"

  "The review of popular records is generally slower because a group of experts from the publication bureau sit together in a small meeting to discuss, and even if one leader thinks it's not suitable, the record can't pass. However, for records that are expected to sell well, they will also relax their standards somewhat. During the review process, if there really is an objection, the remaining people will try to persuade him together, which takes a process, and that's why popular records take longer to review - in your case this time, either the entire discussion group thinks it's not suitable and votes it down by a large margin, or there are one or two people who have a very firm attitude of vetoing, and the others can't persuade them at all, so it's especially fast."

  "What's so urgent?"

  "He died especially quickly." Fang Yu said, "Suddenly."

  "...After thinking about the content of MV for a while, I suddenly felt a little uneasy, "Will everyone disagree?"

  "It's impossible, you're underestimating the insight of those old men who do the audit. 'The Duke of Mount Deer' won award after award and is still considered a classic today, while 'Blue X' has become a huge hit - now they're even making a spin-off called 'Where's Dad Going? Season 3'. Who dares to come out and say this is outrageous? In comparison, your standards are nothing."

  He scratched his head and honestly said: "There are two kissing scenes."

  Fang Yu snorted in derision: "Other people's Blue X still has bed sheets, and what you're doing is kissing non-human creatures. How can that be okay? In the animal world, there are even opening lines like 'Spring has arrived, all living things revive, this is a season for mating'."

  Jian Ran: "......"

  Fang Yu: "Can't you just admit that it's not easy for you to offend someone with your careless and foul mouth?"

  "I didn't say anything wrong."

  "Hehe."

  "...... What's the chance of rescue?"

  Fang Yu: "I think it can still be saved, after all, everyone has to eat and doesn't want to offend the RMB --- but if this is delayed for a year or two until the movie is released and the original soundtrack passes the audit, isn't that too late? The director will starve to death..."

  "Are you going to comfort me or not?"

  "Who the hell is calling to comfort you? I'm here to make you reflect on yourself, stop offending people, you ancestor!!!!!!"

  After Fang Yu hung up the phone, Jin Ran sat alone on the toilet, holding her mobile phone and thinking "Who did I offend?" She thought for a long time, but the only person she could think of who might be offended was her ex-boyfriend, whom she had rejected. Her heart skipped a beat and she didn't feel well. It wasn't until then that she finally understood why she had been feeling uneasy lately.

  Something flashed through my mind, so I quickly went online to search for news from the past period of time. Then, I found that the news didn't explain in detail about the identity of Jiang Luocheng's new girlfriend either. Most of the news used vague terms like "daughter of a high-ranking official in the industry" to summarize it.

  Can't find the result, it's like a headless fly in his heart, anxious and depressed. However, after checking, it's obviously not something that this little star can solve by himself through hard work. In the end, all he could do was send a text message to Jiang Chuan, telling him about the audit of "Leviathan"'s MV being stuck. After thinking for a moment, he sent another text message asking Jiang Luocheng what's going on, but after flipping through his contact list, he couldn't find Jiang Luocheng's name anywhere. The young man with black hair stared at his phone in silence for a while, and then suddenly slapped his forehead, decisively moved into the blacklist, and only then released the name that had been blacklisted for almost a year from the prison of the blacklist.

  The first thing he did after being released was to pick up a stick and hit the dog on the head with it.

  Hello Director Jiang, it's been a while since we last met. Let's skip the small talk and get straight to the point. Are you involved in the review of the theme song for the movie "Leviathan"?

  After sending the text message, he threw his mobile phone and went away alone. He opened his computer, logged into his email account, and saw that he had indeed received an email from the production team. In the email, the production team sincerely expressed their shock at the censorship standards in this country, and they would try their best to do relevant work to salvage the situation. At the same time, the production team stated that they were determined not to give up on this huge piece of fat - after all, it was unheard of for a Hollywood blockbuster's promotion to be directly banned in the male lead actor's home country.

  What kind of terrible character and bad luck can lead to something like this happening?

  It also happened to Yuan Jinyan.

  At this moment, he only felt that whether it was face or dignity, it could be said to have been lost completely. His cheeks were burning and his head was buzzing. After exiting the email, he walked around the house with his hands behind his back for two laps. Not long after, he heard the phone on the sofa "ding" ringing with a text message. He went over to pick it up and saw that it was Jiang Chuan's response to his text message, just five words plus two punctuation marks: Got it, don't worry.

  He quickly flew away, he now knows that Jiang Chuan has money and power, but that's in Berlin. In my country, although I know the euro, this seems to be a place where rights are more emphasized - simply put, Jiang Chuan's magic claws may not reach here. Jin Ran held his phone with furrowed brows, thinking about how to respond to Jiang Chuan, when the phone started vibrating again. This time it was an incoming message from Jiang Luocheng, and Jiang Luocheng's response was: Just want to tell Jiang Chuan that having money doesn't mean everything, this is in my country.

  Suddenly felt a suffocating sensation.

  This thing was indeed Jiang Luocheng's doing behind the scenes - as for what that high-ranking official's daughter was up to, he no longer wanted to investigate. Jiang Luocheng had suffered so much humiliation and injustice back then because of him and Xu Qianqian, creating such a huge stir. Now that Xu Qianqian was dead, Jiang Luocheng suddenly took over Xu Qianqian's role and became an obstacle in his career. He didn't want to investigate what this was all about either. With a flurry of keystrokes on his phone, he typed out a string of curses like "despicable" and "shameless" to scold Jiang Luocheng, but just as he was about to send it, he deleted all the words in one second. After clearing the text message, he directly added the three characters "Jiang Luocheng" to his blacklist.

  Don't want to become as low as him.

  ……

  Put down the phone, ran to take a bath and rolled into bed to sleep soundly. When he woke up, it was already 4 o'clock in the middle of the night. He heard the sound of the cleaning worker's bamboo broom sweeping the floor downstairs "brushing" against the ground. Suddenly, he vaguely remembered that at this time, it had been an hour since the original soundtrack of "Pirate's Life" was exposed on a foreign portal website. He was startled and immediately woke up, grabbed his phone to take a look, and indeed, his phone was flooded with various text messages.

  First is Fang Yu's -

  Here is the translation:

  [20:21 Good news, we're still struggling to try and rescue the audit results; bad news, the audit results haven't changed yet, we've already received the message. The person auditing you is Jiang Luocheng's new girlfriend, her dad used to be his student, in other words, it's Jiang Luocheng. What happened when you guys had lunch that day? Did you splash water on his face or something?]

  [9:00 PM Is he dead?]

  [9:30 PM Europe just exposed it, want to take a look at the data?]

  Where is that son of a bitch?

  [22:30 Congratulations on the first victory, the video went online for half an hour and clicked over 30 million ~ Of course, it's abroad... The domestic people are still happily brushing the news of Emperor Dou and International Zhang's marriage, Emperor Dou finally got the headline, if you didn't splash water on Jiang Luocheng's face, this headline might not be his.]

  He closed the message from his agent, which was more sour than the previous one. Looking at the words "first victory" still made him feel a bit relieved, and his wounded heart was slightly comforted. He took a deep breath, opened Weibo, and looked at the comments. Most of them were saying that even Lian Zhang had gotten married, when would Yuan Da Shen agree to marry Jiang Chuan?... Normally, he would find such comments amusing, maybe even share them with Jiang Chuan, but this time, he just couldn't bring himself to laugh.

  Among tens of thousands of comments, there isn't a single one about his MV.

  This is simply unscientific - even if the video was temporarily banned on this side of the sky/morning due to failing the review, it can't stop fans from habitually crossing the wall to foreign social media platforms to follow the dynamics of foreign celebrities. If the click-through rate of "Pirate Career" videos is high, then basically there won't be any reaction at all on the domestic side?

  He was extremely confused, hesitated for a while, and finally posted a new Weibo in the midst of various colleagues forwarding congratulatory messages on Emperor Head's marriage.

  "Is the male god me, Yuan Jinyan: Have rice and big big watched my new movie "Leviathan"'s original sound trailer for "Pirate's Life"? Seeking your thoughts!"

  It's 4:30 in the morning now.

  After posting Weibo, I threw down my phone and climbed over the wall to watch videos of myself on foreign websites.

  The MV is not a complete version, but just a clip, with only about one minute of jumping shots, like a deliberately accelerated fragment, from the encounter between the sailor and the mermaid. The post-production team of Claire's company is indeed a world-class team. After processing the entire film, he almost didn't recognize himself. When the MV started, he saw his own back standing under the moonlight, with waves crashing against the rocky reef below. The overwhelming feeling that came rushing in made him excited...

  At this time the prelude is over, and the first line of lyrics of the whole song rings out.

  I distinctly felt goosebumps all over my body.

  He didn't even know that his singing was so good, in the sound of the waves, without accompaniment, just simple humming, the voice was low and rich with magnetism, just like the best violinist playing a melody, completely holding the entire scene... Thinking about my own painful search for inspiration, I suddenly felt a sense of relief. Just listening to the first two sentences, I frantically searched for my phone and excitedly sent a text message to Jiang Chuan: My singing is too damn good!

  After sending the text message, I threw away my phone. At this moment, the scene of the MV changed. Along with a boulder that was blown loose by the wind and sank to the bottom of the water, countless delicate bubbles rose up. The dark bottom of the water reflected a beam of moonlight. Suddenly, from the bottom of the water, a colorful, almost transparent fish tail flashed by quickly, still shrouded in light.

  Under the moonlight, a head with long, deep red hair and pointed elf-like ears emerged from the water - the camera focused on the back of that head, from his angle, just able to see in the distance the black-haired young man standing on the reef singing, at which point Shido's high-pitched solo began.

  It's also not good to be overly energetic.

  Xide's singing voice blended perfectly with Jianran's singing voice.

  Then the mermaid pulled the sailor into the water, gazed at each other and kissed.

  Set sail on an adventure together again.

  In the end, the mermaid cut off her own tail and saved the sailor's life, turning herself into foam, while the sailor was reborn as a new sea monster.

  The entire MV trailer ends with the scene sinking back into the ocean, with countless bubbles rising to form the words "Leviathan 2017.7.15".

  After watching the video, I scrolled down to see the comments below and found that apart from successfully breaking through 8 million views, this highly edited MV has also caused a frenzy among foreigners, with countless likes.

  Someone recognized the sailor in the MV as the Tian/Chao person who appeared at the end of "Mysterious Seed" and announced that they had officially become a fan, asking for his name in other Tian/Chao works to prepare to climb over the wall and watch.

  Some people feel that Shi De's singing voice is heavenly music.

  Some people were busy asking Xide and Yuan Zhenran which one of them was gay.

  Some people say they never thought Chinese songs could be so beautiful.

  At the same time, someone scolded loudly "Where is there a movie trailer that starts promoting one and a half years in advance and still looks so good? F**k your ancestors, how can people live like this?"

  The mood has finally improved a bit.

  He couldn't help humming a little tune and quickly scrolled down the comments, when he suddenly saw this one outstanding comment among many English ones:

  Jian Ran: "......"

  He quietly took out his phone, looked at Weibo, and found that after clearing Weibo for the first time and posting a new one, he only received more than a dozen new comments. He was slightly stunned and muttered "How come so few", clicked in to take a look and found that those more than a dozen were all saying "Are you sleepwalking?", "What new movie?! When did you finish filming the new movie?!", "I know 'Leviathan', but I haven't seen anything about a soundtrack or something like that?"

  He suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he quit the comments and took a look. Only then did he discover that his previous Weibo post had been deleted in seconds, and the comment he received was the content restored within one second - at that moment, Jian Ran felt that all the blood in his body rushed to his forehead. He stood up, sat down again, and slammed his phone onto the bed with a loud roar of "I'm going to f**k your mom". At this time, the phone rang, Jian Ran was still so angry that he didn't want to answer it, but when he saw that the caller was Jiang Chuan, he still answered the call with a dark face. As soon as he picked up the phone, before he could say anything, he heard the man on the other end of the line say in a slightly tired voice: "This time it's my fault, sorry, I'll think of a way."

  "Sorry about what? It's not your fault, I just like you, so what?! " Jian Yan tightly grasped the phone, his temples bulging with rage as he bellowed into the receiver, "Notify IM company, let's have a meeting! I don't believe in being afraid of him, roll up my sleeves and get to work!!!"
