Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, starting with the strategy of 95 flowers to counterattack

Chapter 130 Gu Yang in Action

Hunan TV, the final of "Singer 2017".

"The cool moonlight shines on you, turning your longing into a river, and transforming into spring mud to nourish me..."

After the competition ended, Zhang Bicheng politely thanked Yang Zongwei and returned to her dressing room.

"So, Bicheng? Are you confident about making it into the top three?" the agent asked expectantly.

"It's probably doomed!" Zhang Bicheng smiled helplessly.

She originally invited Bai Baihe as her guest performer, but unexpectedly, that girl was recently exposed for using a "one-finger technique".

There's no need to ask her to sing "Cooling Down" anymore; she's about to be finished.

There was no other way, so Hunan TV helped by bringing in Yang Zongwei. He didn't even have a single rehearsal; he went straight on stage to sing.

The results were obviously not very good.

Suddenly, the door to the dressing room opened, and He Jiong, dressed in a suit, walked in.

"Teacher He!" Zhang Bicheng quickly stood up to greet him.

"Bicheng, a friend asked me to sing a song for you!"

"What song is it?"

"See for yourself!"

Teacher He handed her the demo on his phone.

Zhang Bicheng put on her headphones, and as soon as the intro started, the suppressed yet highly expressive melody instantly captivated her ears.

The dark and eerie arrangement, paired with vividly descriptive lyrics, includes the lines, "Why is the splendor so dazzling, leaving us empty-handed? Why do those who love me imprison me?"

When the hoarse male voice finished singing, she got goosebumps.

"This song...it's amazing!" Zhang Bicheng's eyes lit up. "Teacher He, who wrote this song?"

He Jiong smiled mysteriously: "He's a very talented young director named Gu Yang. Have you heard of him?"

Zhang Bicheng gave him a speechless look. "Teacher He, are you kidding me? I'm his fan!"

"So, are you willing to take on this role?"

"Of course!"

"But Gu Yang is short on time, and he hopes you can record it by tomorrow!"

Zhang Bicheng bit his lip, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes: "In such a short time..."

"Gu Yang said that he has already arranged the band and harmonies, all the musicians are already rehearsing, and the emotional level of this song is very compatible with your vocal characteristics. You just need to sing freely."

He Jiong patted her on the shoulder, "Bi Cheng, believe in me, and believe in your own abilities."

Zhang Bicheng took a deep breath, took off his headphones, and said with a determined look in his eyes, "Okay! I'll sing!"

……

Three Dumbs, Yalong Bay Beach
The salty sea breeze, carrying fine sand, rushed towards my face.

Shen Wei paced back and forth with a megaphone in hand. In the camera's view, Zhou Ye, dressed in a black dress, stood by the rocks, waves lapping at her ankles, while Tian Xiwei leaned against a palm tree, her eyes behind her sunglasses constantly glancing at her opponent not far away.

Shen Wei found them yesterday!
It is said that Gu Yang entrusted his children to him on his deathbed, asking him to take good care of them.

To help them resolve this public relations crisis, Gu Yang plans to make a new movie for them.

This left the two girls both touched and bewildered.

What's touching is that even though he was on his deathbed, he was still thinking about them.

What's puzzling is, what does making a new movie have to do with resolving this public opinion crisis?
Shen Wei didn't explain much, but simply took them to the beach as Gu Yang requested and filmed a few scenes.

The two girls cooperated well and didn't cause any trouble.

After all, Gu Yang was seriously injured and hospitalized because of them, and now he is lying in bed worrying about them. They couldn't possibly be so inconsiderate.

Obey the instructions.

"Action!"

On the monitor, the night sky over Yalong Bay was ignited by dozens of torches, the scarlet flames twisting and leaping in the sea breeze.

Zhou Ye, dressed in a long black silk dress that accentuated her curves, walked slowly towards them with a cold expression.

She lowered her eyes and lowered her eyelashes, the wisps of hair on her forehead were lifted and fell by the wind, and the smile on her lips flickered in the firelight.

As she walked through the torchlight amidst the drumbeats, the air currents lifted her black skirt in a seductive arc, revealing half of her slender calves, making her exceptionally alluring.

"Crack!"

"Next game!"

……

Three days later, Xinghe Media's official account released an official announcement.

Recently, a large amount of false information about the health of artist Gu Yang has appeared online, drawing public attention. To prevent the continued spread of this false information, our studio hereby issues the following solemn statement:

Gu Yang Studio

……

Gu Yang, a top influencer who had been silent for many days, suddenly dropped a bombshell on social media late at night.

A meticulously edited 2-minute suspenseful short film instantly ignited a heated discussion across the internet.

The video opens with a gloomy hospital ward scene, where the electrocardiogram monitor emits a regular "tick-tock" sound, which sounds even more jarring in the silence.

Gu Yang lay weakly on the hospital bed, his pale face and disheveled hair conveying a suffocating sense of "life hanging by a thread".

"She's going to kill me! She's going to kill me!"

A voice-over filled with fear and despair suddenly rang out, accompanied by tense and exciting background music, instantly pulling the audience into a suspenseful vortex and piquing their curiosity to the extreme.

The scene shifts to the nighttime view of Yalong Bay beach. The flickering torches illuminate the sand like a mysterious altar.

Zhou Ye made a stunning entrance in a black floor-length gown. Barefoot, she strode out from the depths of the firelight, her steps accompanied by the sharp beat of drums and the delicate spray of waves.

Beneath her cool and glamorous makeup, her eyes are distant yet alluring, and every gesture exudes a mysterious charm, like a deadly rose blooming in the dark night, captivating all who look away.

"I am your wife!" Zhou Ye's voice was cold and clear, carrying an undeniable certainty.

"No, you're not!" Gu Yang's hoarse voice rang out in rebuttal.

"I am!"

The dialogue was brief yet full of tension, further escalating the suspense.

Immediately afterwards, the scene flashed back to the conflict on set.

Zhou Ye and Tian Xiwei were at loggerheads, their eyes sparking with tension. Their heated argument almost pierced the screen, creating a tense standoff that made the audience feel as if they were right there with them.

Just as the atmosphere was about to become tense, the camera switched again!
Tian Xiwei was dressed in a sharp suit, her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and she exuded an aura that could not be questioned.

She gazed into the camera and said meaningfully, "The truth is far more complex than what you see."

The scene shifts, and the darkness of the deep sea swallows up all light.

Zhang Jingyi was trapped in a cold iron cage, with seawater churning wildly around her. Her desperate eyes and struggling movements were heartbreaking.

Outside the iron cage, a man dressed in full diving equipment who looked remarkably like Gu Yang turned and left without hesitation. Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, the oppressive and desperate emotions reached their peak.

Just as the audience was enveloped in a tense and suffocating atmosphere, Zhang Bicheng's penetrating voice pierced the air: "Why is the splendor so dazzling, leaving us empty-handed? Why do those who love me give me a cage..."

As the melody of "Cage" begins, a montage of all the previous high-energy scenes flashes by: Gu Yang's frail and sickly appearance, the fierce conflict between the two women, the stunning appearance on the beach, the life-or-death confrontation in the deep sea... Each scene perfectly matches the desperate struggle in the song, bringing a strong audiovisual impact.

At the end of the video, the screen freezes on Zhou Ye and Tian Xiwei's meaningful eye contact, their gazes exchanging unspoken tension as if silently revealing a secret.

White subtitles slowly appeared: "The truth is about to be revealed."

Then,

"The new movie 'The Vanished Woman' is about to start filming!"

……

They've gone mad, completely mad!

Gu Yang's video left netizens completely dumbfounded!

"Help! I've been waiting a week for this top celebrity critically ill + female stars tearing each other apart, and it turns out to be a new movie trailer?? Gu Yang's reverse operation has completely overheated my CPU!!"

"Who understands?! The moment Zhou Ye walked out of the torches, I got goosebumps all over my body! The atmosphere..."

"Sister Tian's line, 'The truth is far more complicated than what you see,' is absolutely killer! Who can resist that killer gaze? Sister, please play my female agent wife!"

"So all those behind-the-scenes photos of the fight at the theater and the critical illness press releases were just a smokescreen? Gu Yang, you're so cruel, treating us like monkeys, but why do I actually feel so good about it? [kneeling emoji]"

"Gu Yang has never responded since the incident came out, right? I guess he was leaked by his staff, which is why he had to release the trailer ahead of time!"

"Oh, that's a good thing? Otherwise, we wouldn't know about his new movie?"

"Don't force me to beg you!! Give me the release date for 'The Vanished She' right now! I can't wait to see the full-blown drama in the movie!!!"

"What song is this? It's so good, it's making my DNA vibrate! Zhang Bicheng's voice paired with this dark visual, I've already listened to it on repeat 20 times, what an amazing collaboration!"

"Holy crap, this trailer has already beaten most of this year's movies!"

"Want to see it!"

The most embarrassed people were Coconut and the head chefs.

The two sides have been fighting for a week, practically tearing each other apart, and now the two parties involved are going to make a new movie together?

This is so damn embarrassing!

"Um, haha, I think your Xiaotian acted quite well, just like the real thing."

"Your Zhou Ye is the same, her eyes really look like her husband has been stolen away, haha."

"Help!! I just posted an 800-word essay in the super topic last week denouncing Zhou Ye's team, and now the studio is asking us to take the lead in promoting the duo poster?? This plot twist is more exciting than Gu Yang's script, I ran away with a train overnight [kneeling]"

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! The two sides were fighting like crazy before, and now they're suddenly praising each other, saying things like 'Your acting with your eyes is amazing' and 'Her close-up shots are insane.' I suggest turning the comments section into a spin-off of 'The Vanished Fans'!"
