"What's wrong?" Sister Meng saw that Han Jue's face was not very good after he came back, so she asked with concern.

Han Jue nodded and said, "There is a problem in the studio, we have to go back to the magic capital immediately." He took out his mobile phone and stood like that to call Director Wang, without even having time to sit down. After the phone call, he said to Sister Meng apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Sister Meng, you finally came all the way over, and said that I wanted to entertain you well......"

Sister Meng didn't wait for him to finish, waved her hand and said, "Okay, it's not an outsider, let's go." ”

Han Jue went upstairs and ran to get his coat.

Outside the door, Director Wang rushed over with a group of subordinates to hear the news, and after listening to Han Jue's solemn explanation of the urgency, he didn't ask the specific reason, let alone covet the ratings at this moment, but just turned off the camera and asked Han Jue to hurry back to the magic capital to deal with things, don't worry about the show here. At the end, he added: "If there is anything I can help with, 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 all the time.

The rain has become heavy in just a few minutes since it started to fall. The wipers were at maximum gear and still couldn't keep up with the rain. Although Han Jue is anxious in his heart, he will not ignore the safety issue, after all, the leakage of the song is already irreparable, and if he dies in a car accident on the road, it will be the real gain that outweighs the loss. He told Xiao Zhou to open slowly and not to rush.

Xiao Zhou discerned the urgency from Han Jue's tone, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he dare to ask: "Boss, what's going on over there in the Demon Capital?"

"Huh?" Han Jue looked at the rain outside the window and thought about something, and even replied a few seconds slower: "It's just that a hacker entered the studio, stole something, and then blackmailed us for five million." ”

After listening to this, Xiao Zhou first widened his eyes and cursed that the hacker must not die, and then panted and asked what was stolen.

"Mixing Archives. ”

Han Jue's "Runaway" has been on the market for four months, with sales of more than six million copies, and it is still in the top 30 of the [Billboard]. Coupled with the mess of other revenues, it has brought a total of more than 100 million profits to the studio. The five million extorted by hackers is actually not an unacceptable number. Because according to the trend, the album sales are expected to exceed 10 million in another four months, if the hacker fails to extort and puts the mixing file on the Internet in a fit of anger, then Han Jue will lose tens of millions of money.

But it's not just this that makes Han Jue worried, "The real trouble is those unreleased tracks." ”

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

Han Jue was silent for a moment and 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. Only then did he remember that when he heard Han Jue sing "Red Rose", he was frightened by the lyrics, and immediately looked at Han Jue with the eyes of a scumbag. I don't know if this look made Han Jue ashamed of himself and touched him, so Han Jue sang the Cantonese version of "White Rose" smoothly in the second half. So how can you say that the hacker has a good eye, and he picked out the song of two versions in one?

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

As Zhang Da's ace spy, it was considered dereliction of duty not to report the song at that time, and now that the deeds have been revealed, if Zhang Yiman has any misunderstanding, he will be responsible.

"Boss, let's ...... Do you want to give money?" Xiao Zhou asked Han Jue dryly.

Han Jue lowered his head and touched the cocoon on his finger and did not answer.

......

......

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

"The plane is delayed," Guan Yi glanced at his phone, then closed it and said, "Let's start first." ”

Zhang Jinshan nodded, sat down opposite Guan Yi, on the other side of the first seat of the conference table, and said: "Two choices, [give] and [don't give], giving money is the best solution, but first of all, I can't be sure whether the other side will do the same if I take the money, and secondly, I can't be sure whether the other documents have been stolen from the other side." In case the five million is given, and then the other documents are taken out to blackmail, and a bigger number is called, and we will follow up with it or not. And from what I know about the boss, the boss won't 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.

"So what we really need to discuss now is, if the sound source is leaked, what problems will arise, and 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 is leaked in our country, and no platform dares to put it on the shelves, but if it is put on the Internet in the United States, there is basically nothing to do." Although the big platform over there cooperates with us, it won't be on the shelves, but all kinds of resources can be downloaded by looking for them. ”

Everyone sighed in unison, saying that this was indeed the case, and there was no way. Among them, the director of operations of the American American also said: "Don't look down on the ethics of the American music platform, it's not impossible to change the name of the song and singer and put it on the shelves." Everyone was amazed after hearing this, and the atmosphere was quite joyful for a while.

However, the strict words of the public relations agency that has a cooperative relationship with the studio made everyone serious again: "The leakage of the album's audio source is not the main problem. I've listened to those unreleased tracks, and here's the real pitfall. ”

Everyone looked over and waited for the following.

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 emotions conveyed in the lyrics. He printed the lyrics of the unreleased tracks on paper and handed them out to everyone one by one. After everyone got the lyrics, they found that there were a total of five songs on it, and almost every song had some of the lyrics circled in red.

"When musicians write songs, they may not write their own stories, and their perspectives may also be someone else's, but," Yan Xu pointed to the words "until death", "next life", and "heaven" that were circled on the document, and said: "But these songs are published together, the death intent in them is continuous, the emotions are coherent, and the lyrics and imagery in them are also interconnected, and then linked to Han Jue's depression case, saying that these songs were not written by him, everyone really won't believe them." And our teacher Han has a habit of writing songs, that is, he only writes his own stories and says his own thoughts. ”

Everyone thought about it and found that this was really the case.

"We issued a notice before, saying that Mr. Han was depressed, but 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 that the impact has finally been diluted, if the impression of depression comes back again, it will only continue to remind the brand of the risk of looking for Mr. Han to endorse, and the loss will not be as small as before.

"It's unfortunate to suffer from depression, but capital will not sympathize, and no brand will want to spend a lot of money and resources to invite a star who wants to die all the time to be a spokesperson. ”

Yan Xu glanced at the empty first seat, and originally wanted to ask Han Jue if he had committed suicide, but now that Han Jue didn't come, he could only ask later.

"But this one is fine. The director of operations pointed to a song called "The Lingering Game" and said, "There's nothing depressive about it." "Compared with other lyrics that have been circled in red, "Lingering Game" is indeed the cleanest.

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

Everyone hurriedly read the lyrics carefully - [...... Looking back on your nightmare last night, what you gave me was not love. It's you saying that no one has ever done stupid things like I'm doing, and still takes this thing seriously. Why did it be so easy to love in the past, and who will I tell this interesting story with in the future......]

Yan Xu said: "There are already a lot of love stories between Mr. Han and Weng Nanxi on the market, but most of them are positive, such as Weng Nanxi cultivated Teacher Han, for example, Teacher Han absorbed nutrients and was reborn as a talent...... And neither side has denied these statements, and everyone has always listened to them seriously.

"But when these songs are released together, that beautiful story of mutual achievement will be overturned. Ms. Weng's 'true face' will be exposed-I don't know the details, so I'll put a quotation mark for the time being-Weng Nanxi's side, in order to protect herself, will come up with more ruthless revelations, and our side will fight back accordingly, and in the end it will become another former couple tearing their faces after breaking up. ”

Everyone is starting to feel tricky. Weng Nanxi is a ruthless character, promoted from an actor to a capital, and talks and laughs with a lot of bigwigs to do business, and is recognized as a thorny rose. In the past two years, many people in the circle wanted to pick this rose, but they either failed in embarrassment, or it was directly folded in Weng Nanxi's hands, so everyone stayed away. She and Han Jue have been in contact with each other for two years, and they may not know how many secret tricks they have left during this period, if they are more scheming and ruthless than anyone on the line, they obviously don't think that their boss will win.

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

Everyone suddenly felt a headache.

However, the hidden danger does not take everyone's headache as a transfer. Yan Xu ignored everyone's faces and continued: "During the last crisis, someone was saying that Mr. Han was a scumbag. Now as soon as "Red Rose + White Rose" comes out, Mr. Han will come back immediately. ”

"Wait, it's just lyrics, no one will take it seriously, right?" someone looked at the lyrics of "When I hugged you from behind, I was looking forward to her face".

"It doesn't need to be true, or it doesn't matter if it's true or not. As long as someone has a heart to guide them, the fans on Zhang Yiman's side will be incited and join the melee. ”

"They have a 'criminal record', it's not that easy, right?" This refers to Zhang Yiman's fans who were willing to gather fire to force Han Jue out of "My Love".

The propaganda director shook his head: "It's just that there is a 'criminal record', which shows that it is easy to incite." ”

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

Everyone began to express their opinions and think about how to break the game.

"You can withdraw the hot search. "The propaganda director is the elite backbone recruited by Zhang Jinshan from [Weite] with a high salary, and he is very clear about the operation of Weite and has a set of publicity. He intends to snuff out the source from the root of the position of public opinion, saying:

"When celebrities have accidents, Weite is always happy to death, and I can't wait for every user to see it, and it's already very kind not to add fuel to the fire. If something like that happens to us and we want to simply spend some money to withdraw the hot search, Weite will not agree at all. Before I left, if a standard head artist wanted to withdraw the hot search, he had to post enough 25 micro special stories, 20 micro special stories, and 10 videos. Or there are other conditions of cooperation, but basically they can only be withdrawn once.

"But the boss's Weite number has been useless, and Weite has been in a hurry. If the boss promised Weite in advance that he wanted to play his personal account, I would move some way, and I could have a chance to withdraw the hot search, and I could use it at a critical time. ”

Manager Qin was very moved and thought it was a good way, but when he thought of letting Han Jue regularly post Weite and interact with netizens, not to mention Han Jue's rejection of Weite, Manager Qin was very afraid that Han Jue would become another netizen when he played, so he felt very uneasy about this, she said: "Think of another way." ”

The discussion continued.

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 could release the unreleased tracks by themselves first, and they would mix them in other songs of different styles to dilute the dead intent of those five songs.

Others said that it would be better to find Zhang Yiman's master Tan Nian to help, and use military forces to find out the geographical location of the hackers and carry out humane destruction in reality.

Humanity is all out there...... Guan Yi rubbed his eyelids and felt haggard.

In front of him, Zhang Jinshan didn't look in a hurry with a smile, as if he had an idea, but he didn't say anything.

I should have planned to wait for Han Jue to come. Guan Yi looked away, lowered his head and picked up his phone, and found that there was a missed call five minutes ago, which was from Han Jue.

Guan Yi was about to dial it back, when he saw the door of the conference room suddenly pushed open.

It's Xiao Zhou.

After Xiao Zhou pushed the door open, he glanced at everyone present with a look of anger, and without waiting for everyone to say anything, he immediately turned around, nodded and held the door very dogged, waiting for something. Two seconds later, Han Jue walked in in with a dusty voice, and his clothes seemed to be still wet.

Everyone in the conference room got up one after another to greet Han Jue.

"Where is the discussion?" Han Jue sat down in the first seat, skipped the greetings, and directly asked Han Jue to summarize it for him.

Guan Yi handed Han Jue a piece of paper, which recorded the key points of their previous discussion, and wrote what would happen if they gave the five million, and what would happen if they didn't give it. There is a record of what the hidden dangers that have arisen, what they have said and what they have suggested—except for the one that ended up being humanely destroyed.

"One, two, three, three hidden dangers. Han Jue looked at the few paragraphs on the paper that were marked with an asterisk, and after reading them, he nodded, indicating that he understood.

Without waiting for everyone to say anything, Han Jue stood up with the paper and said, "Everyone continue first, I'll make a call." ”

Han Jue walked out of the door of the conference room, went to the reception room next door and sat down, took out his mobile phone and prepared to call someone.

"Toot-toot-"

While waiting for the call, Han Jue looked at the things on the paper and thought, what brand endorsement, what star lifespan, what acting career, what Weng Nanxi, he doesn't care at all. He now has enough copyright fees to eat for several lifetimes, and being a star is just an interest, and he is actually very willing to retire now.

For Han Jue, there is only one hidden danger from beginning to end, that is, whether this incident will eventually cause harm to Zhang Yiman.

The phone went through.

Han Jue smiled and said, "Hey, silly girl." ”
