Shen Jinghong had not appeared in public for some time.
He came to accompany Mo Yan whenever he had the chance.
After all, he was the origin of this public opinion, and he always felt guilty towards Mo Yan. Not only that, but he also felt guilty towards Ting Yu and An Ye Tu. If it weren't for him initiating this public opinion, perhaps none of this would have happened.
After the program was recorded, Mo Yan's mood had been excellent.
These past few days, he had become engrossed in fishing.
He heard that he saw a group of anglers in Ting Yu's fan group. Mo Yan saw them sharing their fishing lives and thought it was great, so he bought a set of fishing gear and started his fishing life too.
"Old Mo, how about whoever catches nothing today sends a hundred-dollar red packet?"
"No problem, I'm full of confidence today!" Da Feng Novel Network
That's right, Mo Yan had joined Ting Yu's fan group, and he used the alias "Mo Shuo."
He also got along very well with the anglers in the fan group, often exchanging fishing experiences in the group.
"Teacher, are you really going to retire after the finals?" Shen Jinghong swung his fishing rod lazily, the rod hitting the water's surface, creating ripples.
He didn't like fishing; he found it too boring. But his teacher liked it, so he could only accompany him.
"When have you ever seen me joke?" Mo Yan pursed his lips, then frowned at Shen Jinghong and said, "If you don't want to fish, go play by yourself. You're a young man in your twenties, why are you following this old man all day!"
Mo Yan felt that he hadn't caught any fish all morning because Shen Jinghong was causing trouble beside him.
"I just want to spend more time with you, Teacher..." Shen Jinghong said aggrievedly.
"I don't want you to accompany me," Mo Yan waved his hand, then said solemnly, "If you truly care about this old fellow, find a girlfriend and get married soon. Before I get too old, having a grand-disciple for me would be better than anything."
Shen Jinghong was speechless.
Now that Mo Yan had shed his "God of Music" halo, he had started worrying about his lifelong commitment.
"It's not that easy to find someone..."
"How did Su Yu find someone?" Mo Yan became angry looking at Shen Jinghong's attitude. After all, his disciple, although not as good as Su Yu, was still a young talent.
Why didn't any girls like him?
When he was young, he was pursued by so many female singers wanting to date him.
Why hadn't Shen Jinghong learned these excellent qualities?
"Can we not mention Su Yu?" Shen Jinghong couldn't hold back.
Why was he always compared to Su Yu? It was impossible to compare them.
This person was a cheat.
"Actually, I have a girlfriend, and it's an online relationship..."
Shen Jinghong's words startled Mo Yan so much that his fishing rod fell to the ground.
His stern face immediately turned into a kind smile: "An online relationship? When did this happen?"
"Just recently. Wasn't I feeling down? Someone added me on WeChat. We chatted for a bit, and I felt she was a very nice person," Shen Jinghong said a little shyly.
"Why did she add you on WeChat?" Mo Yan became interested.
Shen Jinghong smiled: "She mistyped her number. I think it's fate."
Mo Yan frowned: "And then?"
Shen Jinghong said: "Then we naturally started chatting. I told her I was in a bad mood, and she comforted me very patiently. She's been chatting with me every day during this time, she's a very considerate girl."
"Where is she from, and what does she do?"
"She said she works in finance."
"Finance?"
Mo Yan pondered. This was a good profession. He was afraid it might be some singer from the industry who wanted to trick his foolish disciple into writing songs. As long as she wasn't from the industry, there was no such possibility.
"Yes, her status in the finance circle should be quite high."
"How do you say that?"
"Because she can predict lottery winning numbers."
"What???"
"Teacher, don't tell anyone else. She has inside information and can predict the winning numbers. Yesterday, I bought a lottery ticket according to her instructions and earned over a thousand yuan. And I only spent two hundred yuan, otherwise I would have earned more..."
Shen Jinghong had a proud smile on his face.
Meanwhile, Mo Yan's old face gradually darkened.
He looked at the talkative Shen Jinghong, opened his mouth, and finally sighed.
"Block her. Promise me you won't get into online relationships. You can't handle it..."
"Why?"
Shen Jinghong was stunned for a moment.
"Have you installed the anti-fraud app on your phone?"
"No."
"Download it, and look at it more..."
Mo Yan patted his shoulder, then sighed.
He picked up his fishing rod again.
He no longer paid attention to the stunned Shen Jinghong.
What a disaster!
...
Overseas.
Major entertainment companies were not doing well.
They originally had very few resources in the domestic entertainment industry, and the domestic internet trolls charged them very high prices.
This time, to create such a large public opinion, everyone spent a lot of money.
Especially in E country, Vought Entertainment, to hype up Dolphin Doll, bore the brunt of the public opinion costs.
But now, all the money they spent had gone down the drain.
Not only that, but they also helped hype up An Ye Tu, significantly increasing An Ye Tu's popularity!
A huge loss!
Indeed, if it weren't for their propaganda campaign this time, even if An Ye Tu won the final Singer award, he wouldn't be as popular as he is now.
Those who cursed him and supported him had now all recognized An Ye Tu's strength.
In other words, these overseas capital spent so much money, and in the end, they helped An Ye Tu promote himself and consolidated his position in the domestic entertainment industry.
"Barnir, are the singers in your company eating shit!"
"We spent so much money, not only did we fail to suppress An Ye Tu, but we also helped him. All of this is because Viktor's strength is too weak, so Barnir should compensate us for the money spent!"
"I agree. If Viktor hadn't participated in this competition, we wouldn't have spent money to create public opinion!"
"It's ridiculous to be swept out 0-6. Even if you put a dog up to bark, it wouldn't have gotten zero votes. This Viktor actually won the championship of E country's entertainment program, which shows how bad E country's entertainment industry is."
Everyone was venting their emotions in the group chat.
This time, everyone had intended to use Viktor, also known as Dolphin Doll, to suppress An Ye Tu, and then have Viktor represent the Chinese music scene in "Music King of the Times."
If Viktor had succeeded, no matter how powerful Ting Yu was, it would have been useless. A good song needs a good singer to be effective.
But no one expected that Viktor, who was highly anticipated, would be completely defeated by An Ye Tu, utterly crushed.
For a time, everyone found it difficult to accept.
"Heh, as if Lin YanZhi, who was the first to enter the Chinese entertainment market, succeeded?"
Barnir, as the chairman of Vought Entertainment, was already very angry. Now that everyone was clamoring for compensation, he became even more furious.
In the group chat.
After being questioned by him.
The US side couldn't hold back.
Then everyone started arguing.
Those who were still envisioning how to divide the cake of the domestic entertainment industry in the future suddenly became enemies again.
