A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

After returning home, Jiang Xiangdong told his father about meeting Su Fan and Sun Zheng.

After listening, Jiang's father put down the documents in his hand, frowned, and asked, "You called Sun Zheng?"

Jiang Xiangdong said somewhat dejectedly, "I hit him, but he talked to me in circles for ages without saying anything."

After pondering for a moment, Jiang's father also felt that something was amiss.

They knew exactly what the Northern Bees had done before.

When Ye Sicheng came to see him, his meaning was very clear, and it didn't seem like the two sides had already reached an agreement.

Unfortunately, Su Fan ended up getting together with Sun Zheng.

Jiang Xiangdong looked at his father and tentatively asked, "So, shall we continue with the arrangements on our side?"

Jiang's father did not answer immediately, but tapped the document lightly twice with his finger: "I'll let Ye Sicheng know first, just in case there's any mismatch in information."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xiangdong's phone on the table lit up.

He picked it up casually and glanced at it, then suddenly paused: "Dad, wait a minute."

Jiang's father looked up: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xiangdong handed over his phone: "Su Fan posted on Weibo."

……

At this moment, a new post appeared on Su Fan's Weibo.

"Recently, I've been busy with some other things with a group of friends who love animation. Our new work, 'Under One Person,' has completed the first season of production and is currently undergoing various preparations before its release. This time, I want to introduce everyone to a world of supernatural beings hidden behind ordinary life. I'll keep the specific content a secret for now. Subsequent character introductions, trailers, and broadcast information will be released through the official Weibo account of Shan Hai Pictures. If you're interested, you can follow them first."

Below the Weibo post, a concept poster for "Under One Person" was also attached.

The comment section quickly became lively after the message was posted.

However, this time, the first reaction from netizens was not anticipation, but confusion.

"Wait a minute, did I miss something? Weren't you supposed to be on a travel show? How come you came back with an animated series?"

"Besides writing songs, you've been busy with other things lately? You call finishing a season of anime 'being busy with other things'?"

"Under One Person? That's an interesting name. The question is, what would your role be in it?"

"My first thought was that Su Fan wrote another theme song for an animation, but after reading his Weibo posts, it seems like he was directly involved in the production?"

"Which company is Shan Hai Pictures? I've never heard of it before."

"I just checked the official Weibo account, and it doesn't even have as many followers as I do. Is this really not an account that Su Fan temporarily registered?"

……

As the discussion grew, people soon started looking up information about Shan Hai Pictures.

Before long, a comment was pushed to the top.

"I checked and there really is such a company. It used to mainly do animation outsourcing, but recently there was a change in ownership, and it is now controlled by Qin Ce."

Some people are still familiar with Qin Ce.

After all, Qin Ce is the controlling shareholder of Han Tang Entertainment.

Before long, the number of followers on Shan Hai Pictures' official Weibo account began to rise steadily.

Many people followed the company before even understanding what it did.

After all, Su Fan's past works had already established a habit for everyone.

It's okay if you don't understand his approach; just wait and see what happens, and you'll usually not suffer any losses.

However, the reactions of people within the industry were much more complex than those of ordinary netizens.

The domestic animation market is not sluggish.

On the contrary, in recent years, more and more viewers are willing to pay for animation, and various platforms are vying for related content.

The problem is that while the market exists, there aren't enough truly local works that can support it.

Many projects are promoted with great fanfare, but quickly disappear after airing.

Some are poorly made, some have loose stories, and some don't even have their own style, showing signs of imitating foreign works everywhere.

Especially compared to the mature animated works from other countries, the gap remains obvious.

That's precisely why people are even more confused.

Su Fan was doing so well in music, so why did he suddenly plunge into the animation industry?

This is not something that can be achieved simply by having a few good songs and enough fame.

On the other side, Jiang Xiangdong had already found out the equity information of Shan Hai Pictures by following the information provided by netizens.

His gaze lingered briefly on Qin Ce's name before continuing to read.

Soon, a familiar name came into view.

Sun Zheng.

Jiang Xiangdong paused, his hand holding the phone still.

He checked it carefully again to make sure he hadn't made a mistake, then looked up at his father: "Sun Zheng is also a shareholder of this company."

Jiang's father held out his hand: "Let me see it."

He took the phone and read through the information from beginning to end, his brows slowly furrowing.

This equity information is sufficient to demonstrate Su Fan's specific role within it.

Su Fan and Sun Zheng are indeed cooperating.

Jiang Xiangdong leaned back on the sofa and couldn't help but say, "No wonder he wouldn't tell me no matter how I asked him."

But after finding out the reason for their meeting, his doubts didn't lessen; in fact, they increased.

In his memory, Sun Zheng was the controlling shareholder of Beifeng Entertainment.

Beifeng targeted Su Fan, and then Sun Zheng started working on animation with Su Fan.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Jiang Xiangdong felt increasingly awkward and couldn't help but look at his father: "Dad, does Uncle Ye know about this?"

Jiang's father did not answer.

He also wanted to ask that question.

Meanwhile, executives from several other entertainment companies also noticed the Weibo post.

While ordinary netizens are concerned about why Su Fan makes animation, what they are really interested in is why Sun Zheng appears in Shan Hai Pictures' shares.

The information these people had was also still based on the time when Sun Zheng was in control of the Northern Bees.

Ye Sicheng had just asked them for help to target the Northern Bees, and in the blink of an eye, Su Fan and Sun Zheng were on the same side.

Upon hearing the news, some people have already picked up the phone.

Some people first called over the person in charge of the relevant business and instructed them not to rush into things regarding Beifeng Entertainment, but to wait until they had a clear understanding of the situation before proceeding.

After all, the worst thing about this matter is not that it is difficult to handle, but that the person who helps goes through all that trouble only to find that the two sides have already reached the same conclusion.

Ye Sicheng only realized something was wrong when he received the second inquiry call.

He opened Su Fan's Weibo and looked at the equity information sent by others, and was equally puzzled.

He had not heard of Shan Hai Pictures before.

But he knew the name Sun Zheng.

After a moment's thought, Ye Sicheng dialed Su Fan's number directly.

As soon as the call connected, he got straight to the point: "Xiao Fan, did you start a company called Shan Hai Ying Hua with that Sun Zheng?"

Su Fan replied quite naturally, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Hearing him admit it so readily, Ye Sicheng asked, "What else happened? Your second uncle is looking for someone to help you deal with Beifeng, and you, on the other hand, have already started cooperating with Sun Zheng. Two companies have already called me to ask if this matter should continue."
