Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 165 Something happened

Cao Jian's shout completely stunned everyone present.

All eyes were on the stranger on the stage wearing a mask and hat.

"Who is he?"

A director at Fuji Television, who was in charge of the program, asked his assistant.

"Excuse me, director, he's our assistant. He came over to help us with our things. I'll go talk to him."

One of Beyond's teammates, Wong Ka Kui, hurriedly apologized to the director.

"An assistant, allowed to be here? Get him out."

The director was afraid that the young man would discover something else, so he quickly ordered Cao Jian to be kicked out.

Before the Fuji TV staff even stepped onto the stage, Cao Jian realized that things were not simple. He immediately gave Izumi Sakai a wink, signaling her to prepare to start filming.

When she arrived, Izumi Sakai had already followed Cao Jian's instructions and quietly retreated to a secluded spot, where she turned on the camera.

On stage, Cao Jian saw someone trying to stop him, so he immediately tapped the thin backdrop again: "Is this what you use to protect the safety of the participants? And the stage is so high, who will be responsible if something goes wrong?"

"What gives you the right to question us, you mere assistant?"

The TV station staff became even more furious and ordered people to remove Cao Jian from the stage.

"I am Beyond's assistant, so of course I have to consider their safety."

Undeterred, Cao Jian loudly questioned everyone, "Is this the Japanese spirit of craftsmanship? Using something so thin to protect safety? You either rectify this now, or admit you'll take responsibility for the problem, or I'm leaving immediately!"

"I?"

This assistant director was just an employee, but he was well aware of how unreliable this security facility was.

If something really goes wrong, how could I, a nobody, possibly take responsibility? He couldn't help but look at the director.

There were quite a few people present, and they all looked at the director.

They were also worried about problems arising.

Even the four members of Beyond didn't expect the safety measures to be so frivolous.

Such a high platform, what if someone falls off?
The group exchanged glances and looked at Cao Jian with some gratitude.

"Of course we'll take responsibility! Please leave now!"

The director had no choice but to agree to it, saying that he had powerful backers and that even if something went wrong, what could happen?
"good very good."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of making changes, Cao Jian didn't say anything more.

I can't force a prestigious TV station like Fuji Television to make changes; I just need to remind Huang Jiaju and his team.

After stepping down from the platform, he approached the members of Beyond and whispered, "When you're recording the show, you have to be very careful. No matter what, don't go near the edge of the platform. This broken platform poses a huge safety hazard."

"I understand."

The members of Beyond all nodded, and then said, "You're a nice person. If you don't mind, we can be friends in the future."

"Now it is."

Cao Jian smiled and was about to leave when he suddenly added, "If the host is wearing a helmet, you all'd better wear one too."

Huang Jiaju said, "Wear a helmet? How can we record then?"

"You guys see, anyway, my point is still the same: safety first, everything else is secondary."

After saying that, Cao Jian waved to Izumi Sakai and was then asked to leave the recording studio.

After leaving Fuji Television, Cao Jian asked Izumi, "Did you record the whole thing that just happened?"

"Don't worry, it's already been recorded."

Izumi Sakai nodded: "Are you really worried about something happening to that platform?"

"That lousy platform is practically made of paper. I'm genuinely worried. If something happens, at least we'll have evidence."

Cao Jian has done everything he could and has evidence in hand.

Even if this could be murder, the evidence could be given to his record company later, and they could hold him accountable.

However, he still said, "Of course, it's best if nothing goes wrong."

"Darling, I never expected you to be such a kind and loving man."

Izumi Sakai hooked her arm around Cao Jian's: "Don't think too much, let's go back to sleep."

"Sleeping with you is my favorite thing."

Cao Jian chuckled. There was no point in overthinking it; he could only hope Huang Jiaju would escape this predicament. Despite saying this, he barely slept that night, even during his intimate moments with Sakai Izumi, he was distracted.

On one hand, he really liked Beyond; they were his favorite idols when he was a student.

As fans, we naturally don't want anything to happen to our idols, and Beyond's songs are all very positive and have inspired us.

Cao Jian really doesn't want such a talented singer to be gone.

The next morning, just as dawn broke, he hurried downstairs, found the newsstand, and bought a copy of that day's newspaper.

Shocking! Beyond's lead singer injured and hospitalized!

As soon as Cao Jian opened the newspaper, this news caught his eye.

"Something happened?"

Cao Jian's heart sank. Had he come all this way for nothing? Were they determined to destroy Beyond's soul in Japan?

But when he looked at the specific details, the anxiety he had just felt finally subsided.

The report said that during the recording of Fuji TV last night, the program's host and Beyond's lead singer Huang Jiaju fell off the stage together and landed on the ground.

The host, who was wearing a helmet, sustained minor injuries, while Huang Jiaju suffered a broken right leg and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.

"It was just a fracture."

For others, a fracture might be a serious injury, but for Cao Jian, being able to save his life was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

It seems that my warning yesterday had some effect. I guess Huang Jiaju was more careful during the game, which is why he only broke his leg.

"Since it has already happened, this matter is far from over!"

Cao Jian has the video recording in hand. Now that Beyond is a band under Warner Music, Warner Music must seek justice for Huang Jiaju!

"Quanshui, I'm going back to China to film a TV series. After I finish filming this series, I'll come back again to record 'Until the End of the World'."

Back in his room, Cao Jian prepared to say goodbye to Izumi Sakai.

He had to report to the set of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" immediately.

"Then come earlier."

Although Izumi Sakai was reluctant, she knew her lover was busy, so she handed the videotape from last night to Cao Jian: "Keep this with you."

"You really understand me."

Cao Jian put the videotape in his bag, intending to return to Taiwan. He then contacted Warner Music and stirred up the story of Huang Jiaju's injury.

Moreover, this videotape also served another purpose: to maintain a relationship with Wang Zuxian.

As for Beyond, presumably they will come looking for him once Wong Ka-Kui recovers from his injury.

After another passionate encounter with Izumi Sakai, Cao Jian, feeling much relieved, was in excellent condition. He kept the woman so busy that she couldn't even go to the airport to see him off before finally stopping.

When Cao Jian arrived in Taiwan with his bodyguards, a car from TTV and a TTV executive were already waiting at the airport.

After all, Cao Jian is already a director and a wealthy boss, so we hope he can do some advertising and sponsor some of the projects.

"Mr. Cao, you're finally back. The entire crew has been waiting for you."

"By the way, I've always been curious, why were you asked to act in this play?"

“Ms. Kathy Chow plays Zhou Zhiruo. You and she filmed the MV for ‘Goodbye Kiss.’ The whole station felt that you were the most suitable to play Zhang Wuji, and that it would generate a lot of buzz.”

"I see."

Cao Jian then realized that the music video for "Goodbye Kiss" had quite an impact.

The TTV drama department manager who came to pick up Cao Jian was surnamed Zhang. He smiled and said, "Mr. Cao, we've reserved a special sponsorship spot for you in this film. Would you be interested in sponsoring it?"

Last time, Cao Jian sponsored "The Legend of the White Snake," which made VCD famous throughout China. He thought that Boss Cao, who had tasted the benefits, would continue to sponsor it.

Even if it's not VCDs, his milk tea shops are acceptable.

But Cao Jian's purpose this time is not just to sponsor; he also wants to invest.

"Sponsorship is no problem; I can advertise my milk tea."

Seeing the other party's beaming smile, Cao Jian continued, "However, Manager Zhang, if I were to invest in this film, would that be possible?"

"invest?"

TTV is the largest television station in Taiwan. Does it need investment?

All we need is sponsorship.
