Chapter 9: A Sudden Appearance on the Rankings, a Soft Blockade of Yuan Xu
[Shen Quanfei: Pointing at the other person's little yellow bean with a slanted eye and a crooked mouth.jpg]
[Shen Quanfei: This is to thank you for taking me to Triumph City. The dinner is to thank you for helping me contact Yuan Xu, they're different.]
Xu Yuan: This is a bit troublesome.
[Shen Quanfei: You're obviously the kind of guy who only replies to the last message his girlfriend sends.]
Hey, girlfriend?
They've started testing the waters!
Xu Yuan refused to give a direct answer and sent the message: "Feeling immense pressure because of your boyfriend."
On the other side of the screen, Shen Quanfei looked at the message, unsure of what to reply for a long time.
This so-called test is not to see if the other person has a boyfriend or girlfriend, but to see if the other person is willing to tell you that they are single.
The latter undoubtedly signaled a desire for further contact.
Shen Quanfei wanted Xu Yuan to give her the signal, but Xu Yuan returned the ball to her without any abruptness.
[Shen Quanfei: So, this beautiful woman invited you to dinner, are you going to accept or not?]
[Xu Yuan: ok.jpg]
Xu Yuan smiled as he looked at the screen.
Beautiful women have the privilege of being unreasonable.
Or rather, this is called acting cute.
Completely oblivious to the fact that Yu Qingwan was practically rolling her eyes to the sky: "I wonder who she's chatting with so happily."
Outside the hotel parking lot.
Watching the GL8 drive into the underground parking lot, Zhang Xu felt both excited and sad: "This is it! Besides Yu Qingwan, there seem to be other people in it!"
Unfortunately, he and the paparazzi had already been kicked out by hotel security and could only watch helplessly as the headline slipped away.
……
Xu Yuan saw the message from Jiang Youwei as soon as he got up early in the morning.
"The Lone Warrior" has become a trending topic.
"The Lone Warrior (Program Special Edition)" debuted at number nine on the KuMao New Song Chart.
This ranking is quite good, considering the song was just released.
But what's trending isn't this, it's "The Lone Warrior (Live Version)"—it's topped the Coolcat New Song Chart!
This song was already on the charts yesterday, but because DiYu Entertainment was suppressing its popularity, it has been hovering around the top ten.
The hype was suppressed, but the news continued to circulate.
After a day and two nights of gossip from netizens, countless people flocked to listen to the live version, mainly to hear Yu Qingwan and Diyu's battle cry.
These days, listening to music has more appeal than gossiping.
What's going on? So Yu Qingwan was really wronged?
Anyway, Yu Qingwan has never fought for the center position before, I don't know why she's called Yu C Wan.
Looking back now, there were far too many people stirring up trouble back then.
[There were also instances of copyright infringement performances; the organizer has admitted it was an error on the part of their staff.]
[Heh, the guy upstairs, a die-hard fan of fish balls, what are you pretending for? How do you defend plagiarism?]
[I'll make sure your whole family shines shoes! Your company, DiYu, plagiarized, and now Yu Qingwan is being punished. What more do you want?]
Everyone knows what happened. Yu Qingwan is at most jointly liable; at worst, she can just cancel her album.
[Insider information: DiYu Entertainment will delay the investigation, preventing Yu Qingwan from using the association's songs in the second and third phases.]
The related news is also gaining traction on Weibo's trending topics list.
Top 6: Yu Qingwan's "The Lone Warrior" achieves legendary status, with two versions simultaneously topping the new song charts.
Top 4: Is DiYu targeting Yu Qingwan? Yuan Xu: I will make a move.
Top 1: The Music Copyright Society of China issued a statement confirming that Yuan Xu was not a registered member and that they will strengthen relevant verification processes in the future.
Many netizens participated in the discussion below the entry.
[Yuan Xu didn't even need to lift a finger; Yu Qingwan has already offered him a high-priced song.]
Yuan Xu was just a passing fad; he got lucky and released a hit song, but that was about it.
If they were truly talented, they would have joined a music association long ago. Why would they need to be listed as "untraceable"?
[Sources revealed that Yuan Xu has been blacklisted by the Music Association]
[Sacrificing their future for a quick buck]
[What future?! If he's really that good, let him release another hit song and see what happens.]
Xu Yuan ate the breakfast that Yu Qingwan had brought while looking at his phone.
"These people are really... I can't stand them at all!" Tang Yi slammed her phone down on the table, clearly having seen the negative comments.
"It's just fishing." Xu Yuan picked up his soy milk. "Qingwan and Lone Warrior's popularity couldn't be suppressed, so they diverted the attention to Yuan Xu, while using public opinion to put pressure on him."
If Yuan Xu were a naive young man, or a down-on-his-luck musician who had been struggling for years, he would definitely jump out and speak out at this time, saying how talented he is.
Even if all else fails, I'll still put in my best effort to produce the songs for the second season of Qingwan.
Yu Qingwan wore a light blue business suit today, with a fishtail pencil skirt that accentuated her beautiful figure.
But the focus is on a pair of fair and tender legs, clad in flesh-colored stockings, exuding a mature charm.
She glanced at the table and didn't see the soybean bottle: "Are you saying that DiYu is trying to lure the enemy out?"
Xu Yuan nodded: "Regardless of whether the song is good or not, as long as Yuan Xu takes the plunge, DiYu might have to flip the table in the third episode just to be on the safe side."
Unfortunately, Yuan Xu won't be participating in the second season; he's "run out of ideas."
After finishing breakfast, Tang Yi started tidying up the table: "I have to meet with several brands in the next couple of days."
When the incident first occurred, they demanded contract termination and compensation. But now that things have taken a turn for the better, they're not pressing as hard anymore.
If we go back and appease them, and delay things for a while, we might be able to resume cooperation.
If we can resolve these issues, our economic situation will improve, and even if we do lose money, it won't be by much.
Ultimately, brands aren't like DiYu Entertainment, relying on breach of contract fees from celebrity endorsements to survive.
They hope for successful endorsements and a win-win situation.
Therefore, as long as there is still a chance on the table, they are willing to give their partners time to turn things around.
The premise is to avoid touching those high-voltage lines related to force majeure and to follow the rule of law.
"You didn't do your rehabilitation today?" Yu Qingwan didn't talk about work, but instead casually mentioned the soybean bottle.
"Yes, I feel that the dexterity of my hands has been restored." Xu Yuan's recovery speed has indeed exceeded expectations.
"Hmph, no wonder you took advantage of her while she was drunk yesterday."
"You'll lose points on the college entrance exam for using that idiom."
"Given your usual style, you definitely didn't eat well last night. I found a Sichuan restaurant, at..."
"I have plans for tonight."
The room suddenly fell silent.
Tang Yi was flustered and sweating profusely.
You damn man, I finally mustered up the courage to invite you to dinner last night, can't you even give me the time of day?
Yu Qingwan remained calm and showed no reaction, casually asking, "What, you missed visiting someone else's house last night, are you making up for it today?"
"It's not Jiang Youwei."
"oh."
Yu Qingwan felt a sense of relief, but then she froze.
If it's not Jiang Youwei, then who is it?
He's only been awake for a few days, how come there are other people popping up again?
Where did this little stray cat come from?
She didn't even realize that she seemed to have never considered that the person she was having dinner with Xu Yuan might be a man.
The two women then left Xu Yuan's room.
Judging from the sound of the door closing, they were quite angry.
……
Evening, at a restaurant.
Xu Yuan looked at Shen Quanfei across from him.
The situation seemed to be a little different from what he had imagined.
