Chapter 621: The Invitation of the Aurora Girl

Xiao Cai quickly organized her thoughts and began writing her own drama review.

In this review of hers, she focused on writing about the animation of the three little chicks in the opening credits.

From much of the preceding content, it can be seen that Zhu Chaoyang is no longer the Zhu Chaoyang he once was; he is already Niohuru... sorry, wrong set.

In short, he has turned dark!

It is very clear that in order to return to a peaceful life, he does not want Yan Liang to take the camera memory card to the police after receiving the three hundred thousand.

So he gave him an empty card and lied to him, saying he had already copied the video onto it.

As for whether he intentionally let Zhang Dongsheng hear that Yan Liang had a copy of the card, that remains up for debate.

But intuition tells Xiao Cai that the final ending might be that Yan Liang and Pupu, these two "little chicks," are all dead!

Even Zhang Dongsheng, this "fox," is dead too!

What remains is only the "little chick" who has donned a fox's skin—Zhu Chaoyang!

Once her drama review was published, it sparked heated discussion online.

Some agreed, some disagreed.

"I've always felt there was something fishy about Zhu Jingjing falling from the building. If it really has something to do with Zhu Chaoyang, then Pupu is the eyewitness!"

"The Diary he wrote is also very strange, distancing himself completely as if none of it had anything to do with him."

"Several of Zhu Chaoyang's looks scared the life out of me; it was too gloomy!"

"I watched the opening animation, there really is a fox skull on the ground!"

"What is this, what kind of messy stuff is everyone imagining!"

"Can you not be so dark!"

"Good grief, it can't be this kind of ending. If it had this kind of ending, could it even be released on Penguin Video for you to watch?"

"I'll put it this way: this show is high-energy throughout, but the higher the energy, the easier it is to collapse and the harder it is to wrap up. I think with Luo Mo's ability, there's an eighty percent chance this show will also have a botched ending."

"You're talking nonsense. Even if it has a botched ending, it's not Luo Mo's fault, okay? The blame doesn't lie with him; it's because there's no other way!"

At this very moment, there are only two episodes left of The Bad Kids.

And with the hit status of this web drama, more and more details have been noticed by netizens and then summarized online.

It is hard to imagine that this kind of alternative Suspense drama could trigger so many viewers to make all sorts of guesses about the characters and the Drama.

This point left the 【Theater】 teams at Pineapple TV and Qiqu Video completely stunned.

Like the 【Suspense Theater】 team at Pineapple TV, they just couldn't understand how a Suspense drama could be played this way.

For this reason, they even held a special internal conference to analyze Luo Mo's unique qualities and why this web drama could achieve such great success.

According to their conventional thinking, the focus of a Suspense drama lies in—finding the killer!

This is the greatest Suspense of a Suspense drama!

With this kind of Suspense supporting it, the level of heated discussion across the web will be very high, viewers will be itching for more, and in order to watch a few more episodes, they will activate a VIP Member status or even pay to choose 【Advanced On-Demand】.

It is precisely because of this that Suspense dramas have always been recognized as one of the strongest weapons for major video platforms, with various advantages conducive to increasing the platform's VIP users.

Moreover, this type of drama doesn't require many big special effects or grand scenes, and the production costs are within an acceptable range, making it very cost-effective!

But Luo Mo does the opposite.

The real killer is right before your eyes.

Yet, this drama will make you ponder—is it really just like this?

Is it really just what we see on the surface?

—The Suspense is still pulled to the max!

At the same time, the main plot and subplots are intertwined, mixed with all kinds of good and evil in human nature, and everything instantly becomes even more different.

The main character group consists of three children, which can add to the sense of excitement.

Children are a vulnerable group; their lives are more easily threatened, and it also gives a sense of mental immaturity.

You will involuntarily worry about them.

But if you carry out all kinds of major Reversal using the identity of children, then this Surprise and shock are directly doubled!

The teams at Pineapple TV and Qiqu Video, the more they discussed in meetings, the more they felt Luo Mo was awesome!

Clearly, everyone is in a competitive relationship with the 【Mist Theater】 led by Luo Mo, yet a sense of admiration always grows in their hearts.

In fact, there are even people on the Qiqu Video side thinking, we should just follow his lead!

"Think about it, the dramas we painstakingly put together don't even have as much heat combined as one of his."

"Maybe following the trend would be more profitable and have higher heat!"

We can't beat an opponent like this.

To be precise, ask yourselves, do you think you are worthy of being his opponent?

He is here to perform dimensionality reduction strikes in the web drama field.

On the Pineapple TV side, due to deep-seated grievances, they have no choice.

As for us at Qiqu Video, let's learn from that set of ways in the Jianghu.

We are not challenging him.

We are asking for his guidance.

In the process of sparring and receiving pointers, we can absorb some things and strengthen ourselves!

If we are lucky, perhaps he eats the meat, and we can still drink some soup.

This caused the Qiqu Video team to start breaking down the story structure of The Bad Kids, as well as its many details.

By the end, everyone was numb.

"There are too many small details!"

"Many of the metaphors are too brilliant!"

——It's a bit hard to learn!

………

………

Shanghai, Xicheng.

Luo Mo was in his home studio, tinkering with his new album.

A few minutes ago, he had specifically taken a photo of some equipment in the studio and then posted it on Weibo with the caption: "On the Road."

As soon as this Weibo post was published, it attracted countless people.

One reason was that Luo Mo's own Weibo account had a very low posting frequency, and many things were handled by his studio's official Weibo.

The other reason was that the meaning of this post was very clear: Luo Mo was producing a new song!

"Could it be that a new album is coming?"

"Holy crap! The missing person has returned!"

"Danger, the Hot Song Chart is in danger!"

"A large number of famous singers in the music industry are modifying their new song release plans overnight."

The reason Luo Mo posted such a Weibo was, first, to give his fans an update, and second, the initial preparations for the new album were indeed completed.

His "On the Road" was truly on the road.

Unlike some people who just give up and can't even be bothered to make up an excuse—hey, I've just been playing around all these years!

However, with more and more celebrities having their reputations ruined in recent years, our listeners and friends have become more and more tolerant, and have even started to urge for songs in a rather Buddhist way.

Whether a new song is released or not is a small matter. Just don't get into any trouble yourself; otherwise, all the old songs will be taken off the shelves, and there won't even be anything to listen to!

"For the song to sing at the New Year's Eve Gala, let's pick this new song." Luo Mo looked through the ten songs on his new album and selected one.

He personally felt that this song was more suitable for a day like New Year's Eve.

At the same time, this was a musical style he had rarely attempted before, so it might just bring a Surprise to his fans.

Just as he was preparing to continue working, his phone rang; it was a WeChat message from Shen Yinuo.

"Music Director Luo, are you busy?" Miss Shen asked.

Luo Mo glanced at the WeChat message and gave a light "huh": "This Xiao Shen has a very good attitude; it seems she needs something."

Aurora Girls had a total of 6 members, and because of various things in the past, there was always an invisible film between the Leg Fairy, Jiang Ningxi, and Luo Mo.

As for Shen Yinuo, because she was the one who signed Luo Mo and was his dance mentor during Creating Idols, and because they were on very good terms privately, she was always carefree and interacted with him as a friend, rarely calling him Music Director Luo.

As for the remaining four women, their mouths were very sweet.

Luo Mo replied on WeChat: "I'm at home, what's up?"

What made him feel slightly surprised was that the response efficiency from Shen Yinuo's side was a bit slow.

He didn't know that all the members of Aurora Girls were gathered at Shen Yinuo's home in Xicheng.

Her sending the WeChat message was also something everyone had egged her on to do.

Therefore, the women were currently chattering away, discussing how to reply.

"Xiao Shen, just ask Music Director Luo directly if it's convenient to have a meal together," Dong Dong suggested.

"No, no, Music Director Luo has a girlfriend now. What if Jing is by his side? It wouldn't be convenient to be so direct," said the captain, Han Ziyi.

"Don't worry, what kind of person is Jing? She won't take us little sisters seriously," Dong Dong said with self-awareness.

Everyone was talking at once, and Shen Yinuo, holding the phone, looked left and right, feeling like her brain was about to explode.

"Jiang Jiang, why don't you send it!" Shen Yinuo handed the phone to Jiang Ningxi. She felt that Jiang Ningxi had a good command of language and knew how to use words that wouldn't easily cause misunderstandings.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ningxi, who had been silent all along, shrank back as if she had been electrocuted. Her long, fair legs, which were almost unrivaled in the entertainment industry, went from lying flat on the sofa to curling up, and the curve of her legs became even more obvious all of a sudden.

I'm not doing it. You guys really have nothing with him, but I actually had something in the past, and now I'm also... also...

"I won't send it. You can just send whatever; just be yourself," Jiang Ningxi said. "Jing knows your personality. Even if she is watching from the side, precisely because it's you sending it, she won't overthink it."

"Right, right, right! Xiao Shen, just go for it!" the women echoed.

Shen Yinuo was so angry she stood up straight, and the cartoon pattern squeezed on her clothes trembled violently: "Hmph! You guys have hidden meanings! You're mocking me!"

After everyone coaxed her perfunctorily, she picked up her phone and asked directly: "Is Jing at home?"

Everyone looked at each other.

——You really are something, Shen Yinuo!

"She's not here, she went back to Beijing," Luo Mo said.

Shen Yinuo replied quickly this time: "Then let's have a meal together? Aren't you at your home in Xicheng? We are all in Xicheng too. I have meat and vegetables in my fridge; we'll come to your place to cook, how about that!"

Celebrities, after all, it's not convenient for so many people to go out together, and many celebrities prefer to dine at home.

Luo Mo was dumbfounded. He couldn't quite figure out Shen Yinuo's train of thought and wondered: "There are 6 of you and only 1 of me, why don't I just come to your place to eat?"

"Oh, right! Then you come over!" Shen Yinuo replied.

"Okay," Luo Mo agreed with a smile. It had been a long time since he had gathered with them, and judging by this, they probably had something to discuss.

But he quickly and shamelessly sent a WeChat message back, asking: "Can I order dishes?"

A fake Music Director works like a dog for the Singers.

A badass Music Director has six girl group members serving him and cooking for him, and he still gets to be picky and order dishes.

After they agreed on the time, Luo Mo put down his phone and continued working. Of course, he also reported his schedule to the Heavenly Queen Xu.

Note, it was not asking for permission: Can I go?

It was just reporting!

"Can my Brother Mo not have some status in the family?" Luo Mo said, feeling very proud of himself.

………

…….

It was almost dinner time, and the six members of the girl group were busy in the kitchen, truly "each showing their own magical powers."

When there are too many people, it actually gets quite chaotic.

However, everyone wanted to curry favor with Music Director Luo Mo and show off a bit.

Since it was rare to cook for him together, they all had to contribute some effort.

"Oh my! How did you peel this potato? It all fell on my leg and got stuck."

"Where? Let me pick it up for you."

"Hey! Where are you touching!"

"Go, go, go, you've been washing for ages and still aren't done, let me have your spot."

"Tsk! Is having a big butt something to be proud of? You're even bumping me with it, I'll bump you to death!"

The girls made a ruckus back and forth, and seeing that Luo Mo would likely arrive soon, the topic began to turn "serious."

"Speaking of which, Music Director Luo will renew his contract with Xinyu, right?" Dong Dong asked.

As mentioned before, the contract between Luo Mo and Xinyu was about to expire.

This had the entire Xinyu company feeling anxious.

You have to know, while Luo Mo might appear to be just a 【Music Director】, his current influence was long past limited to the music scene.

Once Dong Dong threw out this question, everyone's gaze converged on Xinyu's golden daughter, Shen Yinuo.

"Why are you all looking at me? I don't have a clue either," Shen Yinuo said.

"Luo Mo was originally on an S-rank contract and has his own studio; to put it bluntly, he's just affiliated with our Xinyu," Shen Yinuo said.

Han Ziyi, who seemed to always be wearing silk stockings, glanced at her. Since they could take any joke in private, she said: "Isn't it your fault? You and Jiang Jiang used to be so close to Music Director Luo, always going to his place for hot pot."

"If you had developed him into a Xinyu son-in-law, President Shen wouldn't have to worry during this period!"

Dong Dong also said with a cheeky grin: "Exactly, exactly, you had the chance but didn't make good use of it!"

Within Aurora Girls, it was generally acknowledged that Shen Yinuo and Jiang Ningxi had the best overall external conditions.

Take Shen Yinuo, for example; who wouldn't love this kind of gummy bear? Even I, a woman, love hugging her!

Xiao Shen said huffily: "Enough, enough! Stop with the nonsense! If I, Shen Yinuo, hadn't stepped in, he wouldn't have signed with our Xinyu in the first place. You little hooves are all benefiting from my favor."

"Alright, alright, thank you for your grace, Eldest Miss!" Everyone started playing around again.

The girls only brought this topic up to chat, because they also knew that they couldn't influence the development of things.

Jiang Ningxi treated their words like wind passing by her ears; she was only focused on cooking for Luo Mo, wanting to do her best to make it taste better.

What she was most nervous about and cared about most right now was his evaluation after tasting it.

"Ding-dong—!" The doorbell rang.

As the host, Shen Yinuo immediately said: "I'll go open it, I'll go open it!"

She trotted over in her slippers, the cartoon pattern on her clothes jumping along with her.

As soon as the door opened, Luo Mo changed his shoes naturally and said: "Yo, smells so good."

He could already smell the dishes.

"Why don't you go sit on the sofa? Leave the rest to us!" Xiao Shen said with her head held high and a face full of confidence.

Luo Mo walked inside with a smile, and the girls in the open kitchen greeted him one after another.

He glanced at the kitchen, which looked like it had been through a war, his mouth twitched slightly, and he silently lowered his expectations for the dishes.

As long as my psychological expectations are low enough, there is no such thing as a bad-tasting dish in the world!

Luo Mo sat in the living room and skillfully turned on the TV himself. He didn't watch "Corner," but just found a variety show to kill time.

This was a variety show reheating leftovers, letting a bunch of stars who weren't very popular anymore participate in a competition, turning it from a talent show for ordinary people into a talent show for stars.

Luo Mo had seen a suggestion from netizens on Earth that he thought was quite interesting.

Don't do talent shows; just do a reverse talent show.

Find a hundred lukewarm little stars and little idols, pick seven or eight losers, and have them permanently leave the entertainment industry, never to set foot in it again for life!

Just create a sister show to "Dreaming of the Entertainment Industry" called "Expelling from the Entertainment Industry."

Don't say it, but thinking about it is actually quite exciting, and it's also conducive to purifying the atmosphere.

About ten minutes later, the meal was all ready.

Luo Mo was invited to the dining table, and the girls asked him to taste every dish.

Every time before he used his chopsticks, he would look around at the six girls.

Whoever was the most nervous meant that the dish was made by her.

Just like this fish right now, it was definitely made by Jiang Ningxi.

Luo Mo tasted it and felt the flavor was indeed good and quite fresh, so he said: "This flavor is alright."

In an instant, a relaxed smile appeared on Jiang Ningxi's face. Under the table, her feet in slippers had their toes lifted slightly and were swaying gently, forming a sharp contrast with her cold temperament.

Xiao Shen chimed in from the side: "Why don't you rate which dish is the best?"

Luo Mo glanced at her and said huffily: "The meat you made is the saltiest, and you want a rating!"

He smiled and said: "Speak, what's the matter."

Offering favors for no reason means there's either a plot or theft; I understand, I understand.

Shen Yinuo was still chewing on the meat she had stir-fried, refusing to believe it, and then was half-choked by the saltiness. After hearing Luo Mo's words, she wanted to say something but almost choked herself, resulting in a big wave of coughing.

After she recovered, she said: "Music Director Luo, write us some more songs."

"Just this little thing?" Luo Mo was surprised.

But seeing that everyone didn't reply, he faintly reached an answer in his heart: "Because it's at the critical juncture where my contract is about to expire, so many things will become a bit different."

He didn't know if there was any cautious probing from Shen Shaoqiu and the Xinyu higher-ups in this, and he didn't care about that.

Luo Mo didn't reply directly, but asked: "Does the company have any arrangements for you in the next few years?"

He knew very well that the lifespan of a girl group is not long, especially after the members grow older.

He had listened roughly to the arrangements New Yu had made for them, and he had a general idea in his mind.

"It's equivalent to the Aurora Girls not disbanding, but it's only in name; there will be fewer opportunities to perform together in the future, and they will each try developing on their own," Luo Mo thought to himself.

He felt that the six girls should also be aware of this point.

Perhaps, the reason they took the initiative to ask for songs was also because they felt there wouldn't be many opportunities for this girl group to release songs together anymore.

"Fine, I will write the songs, but I need to think about exactly how many to write," Luo Mo agreed immediately.

As soon as these words were spoken, the girls became excited instantly.

Dong Dong, who had the purest temperament and the strongest "class beauty" vibe, but was also the best at buttering people up, took the lead in cheering: "Long live Director Luo!"

Han Ziyi and the others immediately echoed her.

Shen Yinuo even suggested: "Since we're so happy, let's order milk tea to celebrate!"

Female celebrities attach extreme importance to figure management, and drinking milk tea is a huge indulgence.

Shen Yinuo took out her phone and asked everyone to report what they wanted to drink.

When it came to Jiang Ningxi, Xiao Shen said: "Strawberry milk jelly, right?"

Jiang Ningxi glanced at Luo Mo from the corner of her eye and nodded.

"You're the weirdest one; everyone else just has a favorite flavor of milk tea, unlike you, who only drinks strawberry flavor," Xiao Shen teased.

Hearing this, Luo Mo couldn't help but glance at the Leg Fairy.

Some girls, their special fondness for strawberry milk tea, forever remained in that summer.

………

………

After the meal, the girls, in high spirits, suggested watching the finale of *Corner* that was updating tonight together.

Luo Mo didn't refuse, only saying: "Then let's agree in advance, after you finish watching the last episode, you are not allowed to ask me questions."

Shen Yinuo put her hands on her hips, feeling she had been underestimated again, and said: "You are looking down on our intelligence; do you think we won't be able to understand it!?"

Luo Mo smiled and didn't respond.

Just like that, Luo Mo sat in the middle of the living room, with three girl group members sitting on his left and right, and they began to watch the web drama.

"Tsk, I feel like a chaebol from Kimchi Country," he mused in his heart.

The eleventh episode is called 【Burning】.

At the beginning of the Drama, Yan Liang came to question Morning Sun about why he gave him an empty card.

Morning Sun admitted that what he gave was indeed an empty card; he hadn't copied it.

Yan Liang told him that Pupu had been taken away by Zhang Dongsheng.

Morning Sun insisted that he not call the police, indicating that he would find a way.

But Yan Liang stated he wouldn't trust him anymore, and a rift had formed between the little friends.

At the end of the previous episode, Pupu had an asthma attack, which was very severe; Zhang Dongsheng had originally dialed 120, but when the operator asked for the patient's specific location and said they would send someone to pick her up, he suddenly fell silent.

This left many viewers unsure whether Pupu was dead or alive.

Then, an even more outrageous scene occurred.

It was seen that Morning Sun called Zhang Dongsheng, stating that he hadn't copied the camera card, that there was only one card, and that he had already given it to him at the bookstore. He even told Zhang Dongsheng that Yan Liang was going to call the police!

Zhang Dongsheng immediately called Yan Liang, using Pupu as a threat, and Yan Liang had no choice but to compromise.

The very next scene made the six girls of the Aurora Girls frown in unison.

Morning Sun actually offered a strategy to Yan Liang: "Let's take this empty card and go find Zhang Dongsheng to trade for Pupu."

"Ah! Zhang Dongsheng hates betrayal the most, and he's actually going to use an empty card," Dong Dong whispered.

"And in an earlier episode, the computer showed that Morning Sun had successfully copied the video, right, Luo Mo?" Shen Yinuo began to show off the detail she had discovered.

"Shh! What did we say just now?" Luo Mo said to her.

"Tch, fine, I won't say it!" Shen Yinuo turned her head to continue watching.

At this time, Zhang Dongsheng had arranged to meet Yan Liang at the aquatic products factory; as luck would have it, Zhu Yongping and Wang Yao also went there, wanting to check on the situation, after all, Wang Li had caught Morning Sun there that day.

Just as Zhu Yongping was checking around the aquatic products factory, wanting to see if there was anything amiss, the figure of Zhang Dongsheng suddenly appeared behind him!

He held an iron rod and swung it fiercely!

Everything happened too suddenly, without any foreshadowing.

This sudden scene triggered exclamations from the girls; except for Jiang Ningxi, they were all startled.

Among them, the one who reacted the most was Han Ziyi.

Because she was so scared that her body recoiled violently and her legs moved sharply, a faint tearing sound was produced.

"Rip—".

Her one-piece black silk stockings were ripped open at the crotch from the fright.

(PS: Two-in-one. Without realizing it, the word count has broken 2 million, and I finally have a book with over 2 million words!)
