This star is from the earth

"Is something wrong?" Sister Meng asked with concern when she saw that Han Jue's face was not looking well when he came back.

Han Jue nodded and said, "There is a problem in the studio, so I have to go back to Shanghai immediately." He took out his mobile phone and called Director Wang while standing there, without even having time to sit down. After the phone call, he said to Sister Meng with an apologetic face: "I'm really sorry, Sister Meng, you finally came all the way here, and I agreed to treat you well..."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Sister Meng waved her hand and said, "Okay, I'm not an outsider, let's go."

Han Jue went upstairs to get his coat.

Outside the door, Director Wang came with a group of subordinates to hear the news. After Han Jue explained the degree of urgency with a solemn face, he didn't ask the specific reason, let alone greedy for the ratings at this moment. He just turned off the camera and let Han Jue Hurry up and go back to the Demon City to deal with things, don't worry about the show. At the end, I added: "If there is anything I can help, you must tell me!"

Han Jue smiled and said that he would not be polite.

After asking Sister Meng and Director Wang to take care of Valentine's Day, Zhang San and the guests, Han Jue didn't even pack his luggage, only took his laptop and wallet, and went to the airport with Xiao Zhou non-stop.

From the beginning of the rain to the present, it has become very heavy in just a few minutes. The wipers still can't keep up with the rain when they reach the maximum gear. No matter how anxious Han Jue was, he would not ignore safety issues. After all, the leak of the song was irreversible. If he died in a car accident on the road, it would be the real loss outweighed the gain. He told Xiao Zhou to drive slowly, not to rush.

Xiao Zhou discerned the degree of urgency from Han Jue's tone, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then dared to ask: "Boss, what happened to Shanghai?"

"Huh?" Han Jue was thinking about something while looking at the rain outside the window, and he was a few seconds behind in answering: "It is that a hacker entered the studio, stole something, and then blackmailed us for five million."

After listening to Xiao Zhou, he first opened his eyes and cursed that goddamn hacker to die, and then asked out of breath what had been stolen.

"Remix file."

Han Jue's "The Runaway" has been on the market for four months, and has sold more than six million copies, and it is still in the top 30 of the [Best List]. Including the messy other revenues, it has brought a total of over 100 million profits to the studio. The five million extorted by hackers is actually not an unacceptable figure. Because according to the trend, the sales volume of the album is expected to exceed 10 million in four months. If the hackers fail to extort and post the remix files on the Internet in a fit of anger, Han Jue will lose tens of millions of money.

But this is not the only thing that worries Han Jue, "The real trouble is those few unreleased songs."

"Unpublished tracks..." Xiao Zhou Zhou murmured solemnly, suddenly thought of something, and almost drove the car into the field, "Boss! There won't be "Red Rose" in there, right?!"

Han Jue was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

Xiao Zhou immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's "Red Rose + White Rose." Han Jue sighed.

Xiao Zhou almost pulled out the steering wheel. I just remembered that when he heard Han Jue sing "Red Rose", he was so frightened by the lyrics that he looked at Han Jue like a scumbag. I don't know if this look made Han Jue feel ashamed and influenced him, so Han Jue sang the Cantonese version of "White Rose" tactfully in the second half. So how to say, the hacker has a good eye, and he picked a song with two versions in one?

"It's over, it's over, it's over..." Xiao Zhou muttered to himself, as if he was saving a certain soul.

As Zhang Da's trump card spy, it was considered malfeasance for him not to report the song at the time. Now that his deeds have been exposed, if Zhang Yiman has any misunderstandings, he can hardly absolve himself of the blame.

"Boss, then shall we... give us money?" Xiao Zhou asked Han Jue dryly.

Han Jue lowered his head and touched the calluses on his fingers, but did not answer.

...

...

Zhang Jinshan walked into the conference room, looked around at the people waiting for the meeting, and asked, "Where's the boss?"

"The flight is delayed," Guan Yi glanced at the phone, then covered it, and said, "Let's start first."

Zhang Jinshan nodded, sat down on the opposite side of Guan Yi, on the other side of the first seat of the conference table, and said: "There are two options, [give] and [not give], giving money is the best solution, but first of all, we can't be sure which side Will they do the same after taking the money, and secondly, it is not sure whether other documents have been stolen there. What if the five million is given, and then other documents are taken out to blackmail, and a replacement is called? A big number, whether we follow up or not, we are all hooked. And based on my understanding of the boss, the boss will not compromise with that kind of person."

Everyone nodded. After working with Han Jue for so long, they still know more or less what their boss is like.

"So what we really need to discuss now is what will happen if the audio source is leaked? How to solve these problems?" Zhang Jinshan looked at the others and said, "Let's talk about what you think."

Lawyer Li spoke first: "It's okay to say that the audio source leaked in our country. No platform dares to put it on the shelves, but if it is put on the Internet in the United States, there is basically no way to do it. Although the big platforms over there have cooperated with us, they can't do it." It will be put on the shelves, but all kinds of resources can be downloaded if you look for it.”

Everyone sighed at the same time, saying that it was indeed the case, and there was no way. Among them, the director of operations of American origin also said: "Don't look too high on the ethics of American music platforms, it is not impossible to change the names of songs and singers and then put them on the shelves." .

However, Yan Xu from the public relations firm that has a cooperative relationship with the studio made everyone serious again: "The leak of the album's sound source is not the main problem. I have listened to the few unreleased tracks and found that The real hidden danger is here."

Everyone looked over and waited for the next article.

Yan Xu said that he was in charge of dealing with the public relations crisis caused by Han Jue's depression last time, so this time he was particularly sensitive to the emotion conveyed in the lyrics. He printed all the lyrics of the unpublished songs on paper, and distributed them to everyone one by one. After everyone got the lyrics, they found that there were a total of five songs above, and almost every part of the lyrics was circled in red.

"When a musician writes a song, what he writes may not necessarily be his own story, and the perspective may also be someone else's, but," Yan Xu clicked on the circled [until death], [next life], and [heavenly kingdom] on the document. The vocabulary, said: "But these songs were published together, the meaning of death is continuous, the emotions are coherent, and the imagery in the lyrics is also interlinked. Then I related to Han Jue's depression case and said that these songs were not written by him. Everyone I really don’t believe it. And our teacher Han has a habit of writing songs, that is, he only writes his own stories and expresses his own thoughts.”

Everyone thought about it and found that it was true. There are too many personal traces in the songs written by Han Jue.

"Before we issued a notice about Mr. Han's depression. This statement eliminated the crisis at that time, and the business loss was not large, because Mr. Han had not received the endorsement of a high-end brand like [Red] at that time. Now it is hard to play down the impact. , if the impression of depression comes back again, it will only continue to remind the brand side of the risk of finding Mr. Han to endorse, and the loss will not be as small as before.

"Suffering from depression is an unfortunate thing, but the capital will not sympathize with it. No brand will want to spend a lot of money and resources to hire a star who always wants to die as a spokesperson."

Yan Xu glanced at the empty first seat, and originally wanted to ask Han Jue if he committed suicide, but now that Han Jue is not here, he can only ask later.

"But this song is okay." The director of operations pointed to a song called "Longling Game" and said, "There is no depression in it." Compared with other lyrics circled in red, "Lingling Game" Game" is indeed the cleanest.

Yan Xu nodded and said, "This is the second hidden danger, because this song will involve Mr. Han's ex, Weng Nanxi."

Everyone hurriedly looked at the lyrics——【...Reminiscing about what you said last night like a nightmare, what you gave me was not love. It's you who said that no one, doing all the stupid things like me, still takes this stuff seriously. Why was it so easy to love in the past, and who will I tell this interesting story about in the future...]

Yan Xu said: "There are already many love stories between Mr. Han and Weng Nanxi on the market, but most of them are positive. For example, Weng Nanxi trained Mr. Han, for example, Mr. Han absorbed nutrients and reborn into a talent... and Neither side has denied these claims, and everyone has always listened to them seriously.

"But after these songs are released together, the beautiful story of mutual achievement will be overturned. Ms. Weng's 'true face' will be exposed-I don't know the details, so I put quotation marks for the time being-Weng Nanxi's side for herself Bao, we will come up with more ruthless revelations, and our side will fight back accordingly, and in the end it will become another pair of ex-couples tearing their skins apart after breaking up, and their feathers are everywhere."

Everyone started to feel tricky. Weng Nanxi is a ruthless character, promoted from an actor to a capital, chatting and doing business with a lot of bigwigs, is recognized as a rose with thorns. In the past two years, many people in the circle wanted to pick this rose, but they either failed in embarrassment or fell directly into Weng Nanxi's hands, so everyone stayed away from it. She and Han Jue have been dating for two years, during which time they may have kept many secret tricks. If they are more scheming and more ruthless in the lineup, they obviously don't think their boss will win.

"There is a third hidden danger." Yan Xu's performance is not over yet.

Everyone felt a headache.

However, hidden dangers are not diverted from everyone's headaches. Yan Xu ignored everyone's expressions and continued: "During the crisis last time, some people were saying that Mr. Han was a scumbag. Now that "Red Rose + White Rose" came out, Mr. Han immediately came back as a scumbag."

"Wait, this is just the lyrics, no one will take it seriously, right?" Someone looked at the lyrics of "When I hugged you from behind, what I expected was her face".

"It doesn't need to be true, or it doesn't matter whether it is true or not. As long as someone with a heart guides it, Zhang Yiman's fans will be incited to join the melee."

"They have 'criminal records', isn't it that easy?" This refers to Zhang Yiman's fans' joint willingness to set fire to force Han Jue out of "My Love".

The director of publicity shook his head: "Just having a 'conviction' shows that it's easy to incite."

Yan Xu finally concluded: "The situation this time is really similar to the last time. Three people, three problems, and three hidden dangers. It's just that everyone is standing at the top of the circle now, and the movement will only be better than before. Several times. If things get worse to the last step, it will be inevitable to hurt the bones."

Everyone began to express their opinions, thinking about how to break the situation.

"You can remove hot searches." Zhang Jinshan, the publicity director, is an elite backbone recruited from [Weite] with a high salary. He is very clear about the operation of Weite and is also good at publicity. He intends to smother the source of public opinion at its root, saying:

"Weit is always so happy when something happens to a star. I wish every user could see it. It's kind of me not to add to the flames. If something like that happens to us, we just want to spend some money to cancel the trending search. I will not agree at all. Before I left, if a standard head artist wanted to withdraw from the hot search, he had to post 25 tweets, 20 tweet stories, and 10 videos. Or have other cooperation conditions, but basically they can only withdraw once .

"But the boss's Weite account has been useless all the time, and Weite has been very anxious. If the boss promised Weite in advance that he would use his personal account to play with it, I can make a move, and I can definitely ask for an unpopular one. Opportunities can be used at critical times.”

Manager Qin was very tempted and thought it was a good idea, but when he thought of letting Han Jue regularly tweet and interact with netizens, let alone Han Jue’s rejection of Wei Te, Manager Qin was very afraid that Han Jue would become another person after playing around. Picking up netizens one at a time, so she felt very worried about this, she said: "Think of other ways."

Let's continue to discuss.

Some said that they could make up five stories based on five songs and find five people to play five short films, saying that Han Jue's five songs were actually episodes.

Some said that they can release the unreleased tracks first, and mix them with other songs of different styles to dilute the death of the five songs.

Others said, ask Zhang Yiman's master Tan Nianlai for help, use military power to find out the hacker's geographical location, and carry out humane destruction in reality.

The destruction of humanity has come out... Guan Yi rubbed his eyelids, feeling haggard.

In front of him, Zhang Jinshan seemed to be smiling and not in a hurry. He seemed to have some idea, but he kept it secret.

It should be planned to wait for Han Jue to come, this sycophant. Guan Yi looked away, lowered his head to pick up the phone, and found that there was a missed call five minutes ago, which was from Han Jue.

Guan Yi was about to call back when he saw the door of the meeting room pushed open.

It's Xiao Zhou.

After Xiao Zhou pushed open the door, he glanced at everyone present with a look on his face. Before everyone could say anything, he immediately turned around, nodded and bowed, and supported the door very dog-leggedly. Two seconds later, Han Jue walked in, his clothes still seemed to be damp.

Everyone in the conference room stood up and said hello to Han Jue.

"Where did the discussion go?" Han Jue sat down in the first seat, skipped the greetings, and asked Guan Yi to summarize for him.

Guan Yi handed Han Jue a piece of paper, which recorded the key points of their previous discussion, what would happen if they gave the five million, and what would happen if they didn't. For the hidden dangers that emerged, who said what suggestions, there are records on it-except for the last suggestion of humane destruction.

"One, two, three, three hidden dangers." Han Jue looked at the passages marked with asterisks on the paper, and after reading them all, he nodded his head to show that he understood.

Before everyone could say anything else, Han Jue stood up holding the paper and said, "Go ahead, everyone, I'll make a phone call."

Han Jue walked out the door of the conference room, sat down in the reception room next door, and took out his mobile phone to make a call.

"Doo-beep-"

While waiting for the phone call, Han Jue looked at the things on the paper and thought to himself, what brand endorsement, what star life, what acting career, what Weng Nanxi, he doesn't care at all, okay. Right now, the copyright fee alone is enough for him to live for several lifetimes, and being a celebrity is just a hobby, so he is actually very willing to retire now.

For Han Jue, the song leaked the whole thing, there was only one hidden danger from the beginning to the end, that is, whether this matter would eventually cause harm to Zhang Yiman.

The phone went through.

"Hey, silly girl."
