How did I become famous?

Chapter 141 I Disagree! (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions!)

"Oh, the main character has arrived."

Someone spotted Fang Bie Liu Mang, and a group of people came over to shake hands with him one by one.

"Director Fang, we're all fans of your movies. You really make Chinese films proud!"

Fang Bie just gave an awkward laugh: "Yeah, thanks for your support."

God knows why those two movies were so popular.

To be honest, Wu Kai's movie was just an experiment for him.

But for the sake of the young lady, he might have to resort to some underhanded tactics.

"By the way, Director Fang," Gao Jianli made a request, "Everyone heard your previous recordings, could we do it again? Please sing one of your best songs."

Fang Bie smiled slightly: "Of course, no problem."

After testing his skills outside, he already knew the outcome from Liu Mang's reaction.

It's just another shock from someone on our side. You'll get used to it after a while.

He took out his guitar and quickly slipped away to the next room.

But he didn't notice Liu Mang's strange look.

Gao Jianli was a little confused: "Fatty Liu, what is Director Fang planning to do?"

They haven't said which song they're going to sing yet.

Liu Mang raised his head, gazing at the sky at a 45-degree angle: "It's probably a new song."

He had already foreseen the outcome.

Fang next door gave an "OK" sign, and then confidently started playing the intro.

"The little yellow flower of the story has been drifting since the year it was born."

The group of middle-aged and elderly musicians who were chatting stopped, and the few who were still deep in thought looked up.

Their eyes were filled with amazement.

As they listened, everyone's expressions became serious.

Fang Bie was so engrossed in his own singing that he couldn't extricate himself.

He could feel that he sang perfectly.

Even in his previous life in a karaoke bar, he had never performed so well.

Perhaps it's because the equipment in this recording studio is more professional?

So how can I fully unleash my true potential?

He didn't think much of it.

When the song ended, he opened his eyes.

As expected, none of the "big shots" Liu Mang mentioned on the other side of the glass wall said anything.

It seems that my five days of tireless efforts have truly amazed them.

Arriving at the next room, Fang Bie was in a good mood: "How was it?"

"Great song." After a long silence, Gao Jianli broke the silence. "But it's missing something. If we added some drums or something, it would be even more perfect."

Fang Bie shrugged: "After all, it's just a guitar."

Moreover, he has only practiced for five days, so this effect is already quite good.

After he finished speaking, I thought someone would shout "666", but no one responded.

He raised an eyebrow and gave Liu Mang a knowing look.

Liu Mang's face turned red, and after groaning for a while, he still nudged Gao Jianli with his elbow.

Gao Jianli scratched his head: "Director Fang, the song is indeed great, and it has the potential to become a classic, but..."

But what?

Fang asked, "Did I sing off-key again?"

Impossible! "Sunny Day" is one of his signature pieces! He could never be out of tune!

"Hmm," Gao Jianli rephrased, "Let me put it this way, Director Fang. If singing ability is divided into several levels, the highest is S-level, which is the peak level of a superstar. Next is A-level, which is a step away from being a superstar. And so on. So, Director Fang, your singing ability is probably at C-level."

Fang Bie was quite satisfied: "C-level? Professional singer level? That's not bad."

He's someone who hasn't had any professional training, yet he can sing at the level of a professional singer just by his voice. What more could you ask for?

"No, C-level is like a karaoke queen."

"."

Fang Bie smiled and said, "I suddenly remembered that the porridge is still cooking on the stove at home. I have to go back and check on it. You guys go ahead and do your work. We'll meet again sometime."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Liu Mang chased after him, yelling, "Old Fang! What are you doing?!"

Fang Bie looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, his expression calm and collected: "Fatty, I've discovered that there are limits to what humans can do, so... I'm not singing anymore."

"So what about your relationship with Miss Su? Are you just going to give up like this?"

"Give up my ass! I actually have something to tell you." Fang Bie pulled him to a corner and whispered, "Don't tell anyone about this. Only heaven, earth, you, and I know, understand?"

Liu Mang asked, puzzled, "What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?"

"You know about the Golden Dragon Awards at the end of the year, right?" Fang Bie lit a cigarette. "What was the name of your movie again? Never mind, it doesn't matter anyway. In short, your movie has already secured Best Picture."

"No way!" Liu Mang's small eyes widened. "My film can win domestic awards?"

"Nonsense! In short, that Golden Dragon Award is my gift to the young lady." Fang Bie chuckled slyly. "Don't tell anyone about this."

"No, how could I win an award? It's not right to rig it, is it?"

"I have something on my idol, Director Xu. Although it's very unfair to him, I have no choice but to sacrifice everyone for my love."

"That skinny monkey"

"Idiot! The film that won Best Picture is yours, so the Best Actor and Best Actress awards definitely go to Wu Kai!" Fang Bie earnestly advised. "Besides, with our young lady's acting skills, don't you feel guilty letting her win Best Actress?"

Liu Mang was quickly convinced: "What about that skinny monkey?"

"Brother Kai is a sensible person; he'll understand us."

"..." Liu Mang nodded. "Just this once."

"Alright! I was just trying to give the young lady a surprise."

"By the way, how did you get hold of that old man Xu Kuangfu's dirty laundry?"

"It's hard to say, it's just a matter of chance."

In an office, Xu Kuangfu and Ye Tian looked at each other in bewilderment.

"This is all your doing!"

"Water flows downhill, and people strive for higher positions. Besides, Director Xu, didn't you agree?" Ye Tian rubbed his temples. "I think we should consider what to do. We can't ignore the threat of this high-end paramecium."

That's right, just when the two of them were tacitly planning to stir up trouble together to promote the movie of Fang Bie's two henchmen, a threatening private message arrived from Fang Bie's number one hater, the high-end paramecium.

He threatened that if Liu Mang's film wasn't awarded the Golden Dragon Award for Best Film, he would expose the dirt on Xu Kuangfu for hiring him as a smear agent.

This stumped Xu Kuangfu.

The Best Picture award went to Liu Mang, so what about Wu Kai's film?

This was an order from Young Master Su, and they never intended to disobey it.

In the silence, the two lit cigarettes.

Ye Tian stubbed out his cigarette halfway through its smoke: "Director Xu, do you think Liu Mang might be the person behind the high-end Paramecium?"

Xu Kuangfu raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

Ye Tian explained, "Look, when was the first time the high-end Paramecium was guided by the Black Square?"

"Before the release of 'Captain China'," Xu Kuangfu suddenly realized, "I get it!"

"The 'Captain China' smear campaign was supposedly orchestrated by Wu Kai! But it turned out to be a reverse marketing tactic by Fang Bie! No! Fang Bie is arrogant and would never stoop to such methods! But 'Captain China' reaped all the benefits, which means the suspect is within Fang Bie's team!"

As expected! This explains everything!

Who is Fang Bie?

He is arrogant and conceited, a genius!

Would he resort to such despicable tactics as hiring online trolls to smear himself and create negative publicity?

nonexistent!

But the online trolls Wu Kai hired were all industry veterans. How could they possibly make such a basic mistake as "(released around 8:20)"?

So Wu Kai was also set up!

So who would set the trap?

After thinking it over, it can only be that grandson of Liu Mang!

First of all, he and Wu Kai were sworn enemies at the time!

Secondly, he can also benefit!

Wu Kai was unfairly blamed, but the movie "Captain China" became a huge hit!

Who made the most money?

It's not Fang Bie! It's a group of cancerous tumors led by Liu Mang!

First, he dealt a blow to his arch-rival Wu Kai!

Secondly, Captain China did indeed win several Oscars.

However, he didn't win any of the awards related to Fang Bie, such as Best Director, Best Film, and Best Foreign Language Feature Film!

Instead, they won awards like Best Editing!

What does this tell us?

This shows that Fang Bie was sidelined by them back then!

Otherwise, there's no reason why Liu Mang and the other crew members' names would be so prominently displayed in the credits, while director Fang Bie's name would be so small it's as if he didn't want anyone to see it!

Liu Mang, you really are a scoundrel!

They were willing to lend you a hand, and this is how you treat them?

Ye Tian nodded: "Director Xu, you guessed right. And if I'm not mistaken, there's more to the mission that Young Master Su gave us."

After careful consideration, Xu Kuangfu realized that what he said made sense.

What task did Young Master Su give you?

Fang Bie's two henchmen, Heng and Ha, both received awards.

But the Su family couldn't possibly be unaware of the trouble Liu Mang and his gang were causing.

There's no reason for them to let Liu Mang's film win an award, unless there's some compelling reason to do so.

And this reason...

"I heard that the idea for Liu Mang's new movie came from Director Fang, who then appropriated it and wrote the script for film. However, I also heard that the eldest daughter of the Su family and Director Fang will be the male and female leads in Liu Mang's film."

Ye Tian's casual remark made Xu Kuangfu understand.

"I understand what Mr. Su means. Then give the Best Actor and Best Actress awards to Liu Mang's film, but give the Best Film award to Wu Kai."

This way, the eldest daughter of the Su family will be satisfied, and Fang Bie can also vent his anger.

It also dampened Liu Mang's arrogance.

perfect!

"What about the threat posed by the high-end paramecium?"

"Let's just agree to it for now. After the awards ceremony, with the Su Group backing us up, what are we afraid of with such a small scandal?"

The two exchanged a smile, everything understood without a word.

"Achoo! Achoo!"

Liu Mang rubbed his nose.

Fang asked in confusion, "You've caught a cold?"

"No," Liu Mang said, not paying much attention. "I don't know who's insulting me."

However, Liu Mang didn't care that many people were criticizing him.

"Hmm." Fang Bie's phone suddenly rang.

He took it out, looked at it, and smiled: "Xu Kuangfu has given a reply; he's basically agreed."

Fang Bie patted Liu Mang on the shoulder: "Actually, I feel really bad for Kai-ge doing this. I'll take the blame myself, so don't you dare betray my trust, Fatty!"

With that, he waved his hand and left gracefully.

Behind him, Liu Mang's eyes were red.

He felt that Fang Bie was still on his side.

He shook his head, his gaze becoming much more resolute.

Walking back into the recording studio, he found everyone waiting for him to return.

"Fatty, what does Director Fang mean?"

"Old Fang is a bit discouraged, but I think we have to give him a surprise." Liu Mang rubbed his hands together, eager to try. "I refuse to believe that with so many talented people like us, we can't compose a song that Old Fang can sing!"

He made up his mind; he was going to give Fang Bie a surprise!

"Achoo! Achoo!"

On the way home, Fang Bie sneezed twice in a row.

"Another treacherous subject is trying to harm me?"

That doesn't make sense. This time, someone on my side didn't do anything outrageous, so who would hold a grudge against me?

But considering how much the young lady loves movies, she would probably be satisfied if the movie she starred in won Best Picture.

Shaking his head, Fang Bie hummed a little tune as he went home to cook instant noodles.

After carefully reviewing the concept and laying the groundwork, it's time to recapture that initial feeling.
