Chapter 110: Is This Also Part of Your Calculation?

"Zhou Yi, the MV shooting dates on the mainland have all been coordinated. The shooting team for 'Jiangnan' has already gone to Gansu Province to scout locations."

"The team for 'Drifting North' has also gone to the Imperial Capital to scout locations first. Tan Jing from the Qingge Competition has also slightly adjusted her singing style for the hook part of this song according to your request; the effect is quite good—"

After Zhou Yi and Anta signed the contract, Qian Jiang was preparing to find Zhou Yi to discuss the progress of this second album that must not fail, but the moment he pushed open the door to the lounge, he saw the scene of Zhou Yi being chased up and down by Sun Yanzi as if she had gone mad—

His eyelid twitched; facing the gazes both of them cast over, Qian Jiang selectively ignored the signal Zhou Yi sent him. The left foot that had just stepped into the lounge door quietly retreated, his body backing out silently, and he thoughtfully closed the door with a casual hand.

Zhou Yi: "..."

Sun Yanzi, with a sinister smile rising on her face again, mimicked a villain from a martial arts drama by making an exaggerated motion of licking her lips with her tongue, then curled her fingers into a claw and pounced on Zhou Yi, who had nowhere to flee—

A few minutes later, Qian Jiang, pretending to look at documents outside the lounge door, heard the sound of the door opening. He looked up and saw Sun Yanzi walking out, muttering curses. The decorative ornaments on her shoulders were still hanging down, and her ear-length short hair looked somewhat messy.

After seeing that Qian Jiang was still waiting outside, Sun Yanzi's expression on her face clearly froze for a moment. Then she quickly fixed her hair, coughed slightly awkwardly, nodded at him, and then her legs ran away like flying.

Qian Jiang smiled and strolled forward. Just as he was about to push the door open, he seemed to think of something and first tapped on the door with his knuckles—

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Come in."

Accompanied by the lounge door being pushed open, Qian Jiang, who walked in strolling, glanced at Zhou Yi sitting on the sofa and tidying up cushions and a series of other "weapons," and smiled like a Maitreya Buddha: "Who won between the two of you?"

"I let her use one hand, and she still couldn't be my opponent."

Flicking his hair, which had grown a bit long with the passage of time, Zhou Yi was quite disdainful: "Do you understand what absolute suppression means?"

At 1.83 meters tall and weighing 82 kilograms, suppressing Sun Yanzi, who is 1.62 meters tall and weighs less than 100 jin, was a piece of cake for him.

"Although I don't really want to interrupt you while you are savoring the taste of victory, how is the production of your second album's songs going?"

After handing the documents in his hand to the coffee table in front of Zhou Yi, Qian Jiang solemnly repeated the progress he was responsible for: "Cai Zhuoyan and Jolin Tsai on the Xiangjiang side have also arranged their schedules and are preparing to participate in your MV shooting."

"No big problem. 'Da Cheng Xiao Ai' was mostly filmed before the Golden Melody Awards began, and post-production should already be completed by now."

Recalling the album songs and MVs already produced, Zhou Yi stretched his neck, drank some water to quench his thirst, and said: "They can come anytime. I have already finished the song production for 'Mermaid' and 'Back-to-Back Embrace'."

"OK, then I'll tell Emperor Entertainment about it."

Qian Jiang nodded: "Are you filming these two songs on the mainland or on the island?"

"The mainland. The Golden Melody Awards on the island have already ended, and I can't appear on programs anyway. Filming an MV there would be restricted; this place can't be filmed, that place can't be filmed. It's boring."

Zhou Yi pouted slightly gloomily: "Returning to the mainland is perfect; I also have to go back to school to graduate. Oh, by the way, Uncle Qian, please sue the media that have been spreading rumors about me over the past half year. I'm short on cases for my graduation thesis."

"..."

Hearing Zhou Yi's request out of the blue, Qian Jiang's eyes widened instantly: "No way, are you playing for real?"

"What else could I do? They ate up more than half a year of my traffic, and the newspapers and weeklies sold so well. What's the problem with me collecting some compensation fees in return now?"

Zhou Yi sat back casually with his legs crossed, glancing at the newspapers and periodicals placed on the corner of the coffee table: "Remember to sue the rumor-spreading media on the island as well. Since I can't be on the island to promote and maintain heat, I'll rely on lawsuits to let the fans know I'm releasing a new album."

"Also, don't let the lawsuits on the island end too quickly. Best to create some entanglements to drag out the time of the lawsuit. Occasionally create some new developments so that other media on the island will voluntarily chase my lawsuit for reporting."

"Extending the hot news front benefits me, after all, I am the one who truly benefits."

Backed by Warner, in a situation where he is suing, he is the ruthless person who doesn't care how much time it takes. Anyway, Warner's legal team will handle everything for him; he only needs to cooperate when necessary.

This way, his face can still frequently appear in relevant reports in various newspapers on the island, which, in a sense, counts as saving the country by a roundabout method.

Moreover, doing this leaves the island side helpless against him because he is genuinely using their laws to sue those rumor-spreading media.

Unless the island side is shameless enough to not even recognize their own legal statutes.

"Oh, by the way, go and woo those celebrities who have already been disgusted by media rumors. Just say that I am young and impetuous and can't stand this grievance, and I am willing to be the bird that strikes first against malicious media. They only need to support me when I gain momentum."

"Later, depending on the situation, we can even turn it into a petition mode. Anyway, the island side loves playing these games, so I'll use the tricks they are good at."

"Also, after the influence of the lawsuit expands, remember to steer the promotion towards the 'Entertainment Circle News Environment Purification Activity.' The vision must be bigger to gain more people's support."

"From celebrities in all sectors of the entertainment circle down to fans and the general public, these are all targets that can be united to support me."

"Moreover, once this matter becomes a general trend, even if someone in the entertainment circle dislikes me, for the sake of the fruits of victory they can enjoy after winning the lawsuit and public opinion, they will remain silent."

"After all, they are also tired of those groundless fake news."

After making a gesture of clenching a fist, Zhou Yi chuckled lightly with a playful tone: "And in this unequal lawsuit, their silence is equivalent to helping me."

"..."

Qian Jiang suddenly felt a bit of numbness on his scalp. His tongue swept over his slightly dry lips, and he confirmed again: "But if you do this, aren't you cutting yourself off from the media world?"

"No, no, no. These people are not as united as you imagine. Moreover, what normal exposure channels do I have on the island anyway?"

Zhou Yi raised his right hand, shaking his index finger to negate the manager's conclusion: "The rumor-spreading media on the mainland are just for my graduation thesis; I can handle them lightly."

"On the Xiangjiang side, just put on a show. You can even buy off the media there to have them interview my thoughts during the lawsuit, shaping my public image as a victim. Their media industry is more developed, which is more beneficial for the spread of my image."

"Once the lawsuit starts and becomes a big deal, it will also be a hot topic. For the sake of sales, they will be willing to be driven by me. Not to mention that Emperor Entertainment and we still have cooperation; they are the first group in the Hong Kong circle."

"Only the island side."

"I already have nothing there; what am I afraid of? It's just about wooing a batch of mainland and Xiangjiang media to suppress a batch of island media so that I can maintain a certain amount of exposure on the island during the initial release of the album."

"Besides, I am only opposing those media that spread rumors about me. Suing them is the right granted to me by modern law; it is reasonable, justifiable, and legal."

"Who can say anything wrong about me?"

"Moreover, once I maintain heat on the island, my album sales can ride this wind and rise against the trend on the island. For the company, this is a piece of meat they absolutely do not want to give up."

"Compared to my album sales figures, the fees for the legal team and the time spent are simply negligible, aren't they?"

"..."

Qian Jiang swallowed with difficulty, looking at the man in front of him who hadn't even passed his twentieth birthday with complex eyes: "Did you plan to do this all along? That's why you were too lazy to deal with those rumors targeting you before."
