The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 16: First Place, "Maybe"!
……

After a few days of fermentation, the data of the song "Maybe" soared.

A trend has emerged among young people.

The feeling of loneliness and brokenness, youth and regret, the interweaving of reality and dreams... resounded throughout the streets and alleys through the beautiful MV and Jing Tian's singing voice full of faint melancholy.

On the internet.

There are beautiful screenshots of Jing Tian everywhere.

Every frame can be used as a computer screen saver.

"Unfortunately, the ranking has not improved and is stuck at 4th place."

The results were good, even exceeding everyone's expectations.

However, Lu Zhiyuan still had some regrets.

If he doesn’t get first place, he won’t get any additional system rewards.

……

1. "Where's the Happiness We Promised" - Jay Chou

2. "Dimples" - JJ Lin

3. "Rice Fragrance" - Jay Chou

4. "Possible" - Jing Tian
……

I took a look at the MTV Chinese music charts and found that the song "Maybe" was ranked fourth, which was really eye-catching.

Right now, I don’t know how many people are discussing this.

There is no doubt about the quality of the first three songs.

The song "Maybe" seems so out of place on the list.

"This catchy song has achieved results it shouldn't have."

"People nowadays have such terrible taste. How could a song like this make the charts? I thought it would be ranked fourth. What kind of divine song is this? It's just so-so."

"The guy above, this is the MTV chart. Before you comment, can you please watch the music video? I admit that the song 'Maybe' is average in quality, but the music video is absolutely amazing, okay?"

Although some people criticized the quality of the song "Maybe", there were also quite a few people who stood up to defend the song.

The ratio of positive reviews to negative reviews is about 50-50.

It’s already very rare!

This is the best result Jing Tian has achieved since his debut.

She was so happy anyway.

"Ayuan, thank you... After the New Year, I will give you a big gift!"

If Jing Tian wasn't worried about scaring Lu Zhiyuan, she really wanted to give her Ferrari F430 to Lu Zhiyuan.

Let him drive as much as he wants.

"You're welcome. The song's success is entirely due to your own hard work. I just did some insignificant work behind the scenes."

The song "Maybe" was supposed to be the song of the year in 2023, but in 2009, it couldn't even make it into the top three of the monthly charts.

To be honest, Lu Zhiyuan was not surprised.

This era is an era of fighting among gods.

However, Jing Tian may not be able to sing other popular songs.

The difficulty of singing "Maybe" is very low. Even so, Jing Tian still failed to grasp several details.

He secretly advised himself that one should be content with what one has.

Jing Tian wants to step on Jay Chou to get to the top?

This is simply not possible.

……

Starry Star Company.

Today, the stars are shining brightly.

Zhao Shanshan did not pay for travel expenses. This was the first time she contacted reporters without spending her own money. As a result, the company was blocked by a large group of reporters today.

"Mr. Zhao, I'd like to schedule a private interview with Miss Jing Tian."

"Mr. Zhao, congratulations! Miss Jing Tian's new song has achieved very good results. I heard there is a story behind this song. Can you tell us?"

"Mr. Zhao, I noticed that the songwriter and music video director are the same person. May I ask, what is his relationship with Miss Jing Tian?"

Jing Tian is still filming at Jiaozuo Film and Television City. As a behind-the-scenes worker, Zhao Shanshan doesn't like to show up in public or be interviewed by reporters.

Hearing the noisy noise outside, Zhao Shanshan really didn't have the energy to deal with it. She waved her hand and wanted her assistant to ask them to leave.

"Boss Zhao, I'm willing to do my best to serve you."

Xin Yukun was also in Zhao Shanshan's office. "Maze of the Heart" had been officially launched, the contract had been signed, and the money had been transferred to the account.

He came to report to Zhao Shanshan about the early bill expenses.

In addition, he will find several main actors in the afternoon to finalize the list.

Try to get the actors within a week.

At this moment, listening to the noise outside and seeing Zhao Shanshan's tired face, Xin Yukun's desire to be with the rich woman began to burn again.

I am willing to work for the rich woman and take this opportunity to open her heart!
"Brother Kun, thank you for your help."

After getting Zhao Shanshan's consent, Xin Yukun walked out of the office.

Facing a crowd of reporters, he shook his clothes and said, "The song 'Possible' comes from a story, a period of youth, and a beautiful encounter on the Xi'an city wall."

There is gossip!
There’s an inside story!
In an instant, the reporters stopped arguing and took out their recorders to talk to Xin Yukun.

"This song is based on Ayuan's personal experience. As a friend, there are some things I can't say. But I can tell you that all the secrets are hidden in the music video. If you want to know the answers, you can watch the music video several times."

Xin Yukun is not a fool. Even if he wants to help Lu Zhiyuan become famous, he cannot influence Jing Tian, ​​the rich woman,'s opinion of Lu Zhiyuan.

So, he came up with a way to have the best of both worlds.

To deceive those people, go watch the MV a few more times and increase the data.

In this way, people who want to eat melons will study Lu Zhiyuan. Then, they will find out how talented Lu Zhiyuan is and how he always comes in first or second in every photography competition he participates in.

Lu Zhiyuan's past was as clean as a blank sheet of paper, so Xin Yukun was not worried at all.

As for Jing Tian.

The MV data exploded, and she accidentally beat Jay Chou. How explosive would public opinion be?

She might become famous all over the country overnight!

"who are you?"

Those reporters all smelled the scent of traffic. Is there actually a tragic love story behind this song?

Youth, regret?
That beautiful encounter on the Xi'an city wall?
Just listening to it makes people's gossipy hearts burn.

"My name is Xin Yukun, and I'm a director. Also, I'm Ayuan's partner, a classmate in the training class, and my roommate."

Roommates?

Wow!
Breaking news!

Those reporters felt like they had heard some incredible gossip, so they all wrote down what Xin Yukun said and hurried back to typing on their keyboards.

Such explosive news must be sent out as soon as possible.

Otherwise, what if someone gets there first?
……

Jing Tian's new song was criticized as a cliché, and a post-90s generation angrily responded: "You don't understand young people's love at all."

This is serious online media.

[Shocking! The songwriter and talented music video director of the viral hit "Maybe" is actually living with...]

This is an eye-catching gossip magazine.

Behind Jing Tian's viral hit, there's a surprising hidden Easter egg! A "Possible" music video deciphering contest is now open online!

This piece of news is most in line with Xin Yukun's original intention.

That's right.

He stuffed money into this one.

……

Downstairs of Zhang Yadong's house.

A convenience store.

Zhang Yadong was wearing a baseball cap and wanted to go home quickly. Recently, everyone wanted to laugh at him, but he just didn't give them the chance.

There will be no new album released.

I didn't go to my friend's wedding ceremony either.

Like a hibernating snake, it lay dormant for a while.

Passing by a convenience store, he felt his pocket and found that he had no cigarettes, so he wanted to buy a pack of cigarettes first.

"Are you Zhang Yadong?"

Who knew that as soon as he walked in, he found a guy wearing a baseball cap and carrying a camera, sitting there eating instant noodles.

As soon as he came in, the other person's eyes seemed to be shining.

It's almost written on his face that I'm a paparazzi!
"No, I am not."

Zhang Yadong reacted quickly, denied it on the spot, didn't even take the cigarette, and turned away.

"It's not you, why are you running?"

The paparazzi chased after him, camera in hand: "I just want to ask you one question: when will the new album be released?"

No more sending, no more sending!
Dog day.

What if Jing Tian comes to snipe me again, who should I find to block the knife for me?

……

I finally managed to avoid the paparazzi.

Zhang Yadong returned home breathlessly and turned on the TV, hoping to have some fun, but ended up watching Jing Tian's interview video.

"It's all luck."

"I didn't expect the new song to become so popular all of a sudden."

"It's all thanks to everyone."

"hey-hey."

Jing Tian's smile was so innocent and sweet, but in Zhang Yadong's eyes, Jing Tian was so hateful. Look how he was showing off to you.

A blind cat caught a dead mouse, and your song became famous.

I just don't believe how long that catchy song of yours can stay popular?
Recently, Zhang Yadong has seen many people criticizing the quality of the song "Maybe" on the Internet.

Over the years, he has seen examples of popular songs that suddenly become popular and then disappear without a trace not long after.

wait!

Next month, you'll be just like everyone else!
Zhang Yadong was confident and still believed in her professional judgment.

"impossible!"

"How could this be?"

"Jay, JJ, what are you doing?"

"How did she get to the top?"

Zhang Yadong casually pressed the remote control, feeling more and more relaxed, and couldn't help but come to the MTV music TV channel.

He suddenly saw the latest list pop up.

The next moment, his eyeballs were about to pop out!
First place, "Possible", Jing Tian!

a bolt from the blue!
