Shattering the talent show script, sweeping the world film scene

"That's all there is to it."

Xie Xingyan recounted the events of that day in a few words, then rubbed her forehead and sighed, "Back then, Gu Zhoubai and I were pushing and shoving each other in the room. Someone took photos and uploaded them online, which sparked a huge online battle between our fans. Now netizens really think that we have a terrible relationship in private."

Jiangxi Heng asked, "Is clarifying things on Weibo ineffective?"

Xie Xingyan got angry when she talked about this.

"That's why I said Gu Zhoubai is a pig. I told him that we would clarify this on Weibo, but he said that our statuses are different now, and it's best to separate as soon as possible."

At this point, Xie Xingyan's feelings were somewhat complicated.

The same thing happened to him twice, once with Wen Qiyue and once with Gu Zhoubai. The difference was that Wen Qiyue tried every means to bind himself to him, while Gu Zhoubai tried his best to separate himself from him.

"Xiao Bai has earned everything through her own abilities since childhood. Even if she is influenced by a corrupt environment, she is still proud and disdainful of such petty tricks," Ling Wushuang calmly explained the facts, and asked, "And then? How was the matter resolved? The photos of you pushing and shoving did not go viral, which means someone suppressed the hype."

Xie Xingyan nodded: "I just conveyed the general idea to the manager, and the manager contacted the fan club. Since we're going to split things up, we have to let the fans be patient for a while and keep things calm."

If Xie's fans see a comment from Gu's fans and rush to refute it, the resulting debate will only increase the hype and make more casual observers think they are "on the same level".

Therefore, under the official instruction, Xie's fans have been keeping a very low profile during this period, and they haven't even made a big fuss about winning the Note Award and becoming the Little Singer King.

A hint of a smile flashed in Jiangxi Heng's eyes.

This was the first time he had ever seen Xie Xingyan so angry, not for himself, but for his former "rival," and of course, partly for his friend.

From being all alone to having both friends and rivals.

Isn't this the same path that Jiangxi Heng walked?

"The artists under Tomato's management are not as easy to profit from as Producer Song and Director Cai. We'll see how things go next year when Universal Capital raises its funds."

Jiangxi Heng talked about financing, and Xie Xingyan was completely bewildered.

"You mean, tomatoes will be added?"

"The relationship between Huanyu and Tomato isn't bad, is it?"

The purpose of Huanyu Financing is to expand and develop, as well as to cope with risks and enhance competitiveness. This is also the last plan that Jiangxi Heng made for Huanyu before going abroad.

When the conversation turned to finance and business, Ling Wushuang's heavy heart and melancholy eyes disappeared.

Under Ling Wushuang's control, Dongyin Media's stock price has been rising continuously. At first, the company's chairman was overjoyed and raised money to buy up scattered shares.

However, as unfamiliar accounts entered the game, compared to Ling Wushuang, who had planned ahead and had ample funds, Dongyin's chairman gradually became overwhelmed and attempted to seek help from allied companies.

Most of these allies are investment companies behind Wasteland.

However, this was clearly a business competition between Chongdong Yinlai and the allied company, which chose to remain on the sidelines after conducting an asset assessment.

Watching from the sidelines is the best way to avoid getting burned, and you might even be able to find an opening to acquire similar industry projects.

Let's not say we're working on the same project; making money is all about individual ability.

Just as Ling Wushuang finished explaining Dongyin's condition, Xie Xingyan's agent knocked on the door from outside: "Xingyan, are you almost ready? Our next performance is next."

The order of performances on New Year's Eve was also determined by the level of fame of the performers.

The more important someone is, the later they perform. Xie Xingyan's order is in the middle, Jiangxi Heng's order is second to last, even Wen Ya and Chen Yijie performed before him, and after him is a senior member of Tomato.

Xie Xingyan replied, "I'm here."

After everyone left the rest room, Jiangxi Heng said, "I thought Zhou Le would come along too."

Ling Wushuang's expression turned serious: "There are rumors of Huancai's reorganization. Next year, it seems that several factions will be formed. The two strongest young singers will definitely be separated. I just don't know if they will be used as a tool for competing for profits."

So Zhou Le went back to another channel for the New Year's Eve celebration.

Jiangxi Hengyou said quietly, "The entertainment industry has been quite turbulent these past two years."

Ling Wushuang looked at him as if he were the culprit: "Isn't it the rise of Huanyu that has made everyone feel a sense of crisis? If we continue to muddle through, in a few years, Huanyu will monopolize all the awards. If we don't innovate, we will be eliminated by the market, but if we innovate, we may die. President Jiang, you have not only brought great threats to the artists, but you have also made these big bosses wary."

Jiangxi Heng feigned surprise: "So it's because of me?"

After saying that, he nodded again: "That's good, it's good that you have a sense of crisis."

The Chinese entertainment industry is shrouded in a facade of glamour and decay, appearing glamorous on the surface but actually corrupt inside, requiring radical reform.

Jiangxi Heng doesn't want to support countless actors and singers on his own; he needs creators like Lin Sen and Xie Xingyan to emerge.

Jia Duobao came in with a smile to touch up Jiangxi Heng's makeup.

"President Jiang, Teacher Xie's singing and dancing are so amazing! If this were a concert, I would definitely shout for an encore."

Jiangxi Heng was taken aback.

"Encore" is French for "one more time," and it's now primarily used to express the audience's desire for an encore after a performance.

"Has Ayan ever held a concert?" Jiangxi Heng asked Ling Wushuang.

Ling Wushuang casually said, "We've never had a large-scale concert like the Beidou disbandment concert, which was a small fan meeting."

Jiangxi Heng gave a soft "hmm" and looked up at his outfit.

Last time, Xie Xingyan had a rare perm, and Jia Duobao and his stylist took the inspiration from it. This time, they also gave Jiangxi Heng a perm, but instead of letting his hair down, it was all swept upwards, as if it had been blown by a strong wind, chaotic yet orderly.

His handsome features are well-suited to a hairstyle that exposes his forehead. He has sharp eyebrows and well-defined bone structure. When he is expressionless, he is like an ice crystal frozen on a lake in winter. But when he smiles politely, everything melts away, and the ice and snow vanish.

Jiangxi Heng straightened his sleeves: "It's time to go wait in the wings."

The recording finished at 0:10 on New Year's Day, so when it was Jiangxi Heng's turn to go on stage, it was still 11:30 at night.

Jiang's huge fan base had been waiting in the live stream for a long time, and when he finally appeared, they could start spamming the name "Jiang Xiheng".

By this time, all the performers had already taken their seats in the audience.

Xie Xingyan is the same.

He kept a serious expression, ready to listen carefully to Jiangxi Heng's performance, but the director was quite mischievous. The host asked Jiangxi Heng, "May I ask, what song will Jiangxi Heng be performing for everyone?"

The camera cuts to Xie Xingyan.

"Thank you for 'A Journey of Blossoms'." Jiangxi Heng replied according to procedure.

On the screen appeared Xie Xingyan with a solemn expression. His eyeliner was thick and long, his pupils were jet black, and his skin was clear, beautiful and thick. This handsome appearance turned cold and stern because of his expression, as if he was very dissatisfied with the person on stage.

Netizens were shocked: [They really didn't fall out? Isn't this a clear case of first-generation antagonism?]
