Shi Fei was lying on the sofa, with a notebook and pen on his body.

 

Two feet without socks curled up, the fair feet swaying back and forth, occasionally bumping toes. They looked relaxed and in a good mood.

 

With a headset on his head, he occasionally wrote down some notes and words in his notebook and occasionally hummed a couple of tunes.

 

Sometimes it was in H language, sometimes it was in English, but if you listened carefully, you would find out that the tune that Shi Fei was humming was exactly the tune from the album “18” that he had just released.

 

“I’m so tired; why do I have to go through all this trouble?” Shi Fei had to translate the songs of the album “18” into English, H, and R language.

 

The pronunciation of each country’s language was different, and the lyrics needed to be modified a little so that they could be sung with more rhythm and rhyme.

 

“I’m hungry; I don’t have the energy to translate at all.” Shi Fei touched his empty stomach; he hadn’t eaten for a day.

 

The smell of tomato and egg noodles drifted from the kitchen to Shi Fei’s nostrils; Shi Fei’s nose twitched; he quickly removed the headset on his head, jumped up from the sofa, wore his slippers, and ran towards the kitchen. “Is it ready?”

 

“Go wash your hands first.” Gu Yueze put a pot of freshly cooked tomato and egg noodles on top of the white dining table and took two small bowls from the cupboard to serve the noodles.

 

After he washed his hands, he took a paper towel and wiped the water droplets on it and threw it into the rubbish bin.

 

He picked up his chopsticks and started to eat. “Old Gu, your noodle making skills are getting better and better; it smells so good.”

 

“Eat slowly; don’t burn yourself.” Gu Yueze added some more noodles for Shi Fei and sighed, “Don’t keep giving me nicknames.”

 

One moment, Mr. Gu, at another moment, Xiao ZeZe, and now even old Gu had come out. Even if he wasn’t old, he was still called old.

 

Obviously he was only 25 years old and very young, but trying to seduce an 18-year-old high school student always felt like he was an old cow eating tender grass.

 

“I was about to starve to death. I haven’t eaten all day, but luckily you’re back. It’s a pleasure to have a  boyfriend.” Shi Fei quickly wiped out the noodles in his bowl and handed it over: “I want more.”

 

Looking at the noodles he cooked being enjoyed by his beloved, Gu Yueze took the bowl with satisfaction and filled it with noodles again: “There’s still a lot left; eat slowly.”

 

As soon as he got off the plane, he saw the news that the entire internet was filled with criticism of Shi Fei. At that moment, Gu Yueze, who had always been calm and self-controlled, became angry. As someone who had always been interested in the current situation, his first thought was to acquire Tianxing Media.

 

Fortunately, he understood Shi Fei’s nature; he knew that he wasn’t the kind of person who liked to be protected. Instead, he used the same way as Tang Xiangyang and the others to prove himself in the background.

 

Looking over from this angle, he happened to see Shi Fei eating noodles with his head down.

 

The heat on top of the noodles was steaming, reflecting his delicate and perfect features in a hazy way, and there was a bit of redness on his upturned nose, probably smoldering from the heat.

 

As Shi Fei’s mouth gulped down the noodles, Gu Yueze swallowed, as if he saw that what he was eating wasn’t noodles, but something else.

 

His body felt a rush of heat, and he picked up the nearby glass of water and furiously drank half of it.

 

He seemed to have less and less self-control over Shi Fei lately, and every time he saw him, he wanted to do something indecent, but he was afraid that it would scare him too much and make the other misunderstand that he was an animal.

 

After all, Shi Fei was only 18 years old.

 

When Shi Fei’s second bowl went down, he passed the bowl again, “I want more.”

 

Gu Yueze worriedly asked, “Won’t eating so much hurt?”

 

Shi Fei shook his head and said, “This is noodles. I won’t eat like this with other food. I’ll have another bowl.”

 

After saying that, he looked at Gu Yueze with starry eyes; what else could he do?

 

Looking at Shi Fei eating the noodles he cooked, Gu Yueze’s heart was filled with a sense of satisfaction, and all his fatigue disappeared at this moment.

 

After eating three bowls of noodles in a row, Shi Fei felt much fuller.

 

In the next few days, he stayed at home to produce music for other countries. Fortunately, he was familiar with the languages of these countries, so he didn’t need to translate them into Chinese and memorize the lyrics like other people did.

 

It went smoothly.

 

After that, he started to prepare for the recording of the other countries’ versions. With less than half a month to revise the translations and record the three countries’ versions of the songs, even Shi Fei was too busy to keep up.

 

Once, he even slept directly in the recording studio, and Xu Zemin, as an assistant, tried his best to take care of him wholeheartedly. Looking at this powerful person in the outside world, he now seemed too young and too tired.

 

While Shi Fei was over here actively preparing for music albums in other countries, certain people’s small actions were also being prepared.

 

On the 1st of August, the official sales day of Shi Fei’s and Lu Rongrong’s album turned the internet into a bloo-dy mess.

 

It ended with Shi Fei’s victory.

 

Shi Fei’s album sales rose rapidly every day, and after a week’s time had passed, the sales of the album “18” had reached more than 60 million.

 

On the other hand, for Lu Rongrong’s album sales, basically all the die-hard fans bought it during the pre-sale period, but her sales rose very slowly after the official sale.

 

During the pre-sale period, her sales exceeded 20 million, but after the official sale, a week had passed, and her sales hadn’t even reached 30 million.

 

During the pre-sale period, Shi Fei’s data was suppressed, and now the decline was as ugly as it was at that time.

 

A small part of the reason for this was the internet fiasco a week ago, but most of the reason was that Lu Rongrong’s new album had no breakthrough in style, and the quality of the music was very average.

 

In comparison, the quality of Shi Fei’s album was much better; after all, it was the tunes written by the great god Bu Li. People still trusted it, and Shi Fei didn’t fail to live up to the tunes of the great god Bu Li, perfectly singing each song in its own flavor.

 

The executives of the Yunyue Music website looked at the day-to-day album sales comparison between the two and regretted it to the point where their intestines were about to turn blue.

 

This was still the result of Lu Rongrong’s multiple music platform promotions; otherwise, the gap between the two would have been even greater.

 

If they had known…

 

They didn’t know earlier, so now they could only place their hopes on Tang Kun. At least he was a veteran superstar, and a new singer’s sales couldn’t surpass him. If that were the case, their Yunyue Music would be laughed to death by the industry.

 

The executives of the Yunyue Music website had placed their hopes on Tang Kun, but they didn’t know that Tang Kun’s main target this time was the overseas market.

 

This time, he was confident about his song; not only did he hire a famous domestic music talent to write the song, he also bought the adaptation rights and asked the singers in Europe and America to make a small modification to it to be more in line with the foreigners’ aesthetics.

 

At that time, he would work in four languages, including English, H, R, and Chinese. He would rely on this album to win the market overseas. Compared to China, most of their company’s promotional efforts this time would be focused on overseas markets.

 

To put it bluntly, the domestic music market was for him to use as a springboard.

 

As for Shi Fei, he Tang Kun had prepared a big gift for him.

 

The number of people joining in to praise Shi Fei’s new album every day continued to expand, and gradually, a few days later, some discordant voices appeared on the internet.

 

“Have you listened to Shi Fei’s new album? That song ‘Leave Me Alone’ is simply cool and crazy good to hear; just listening to it makes my bloo-d boil.”

 

“Of course I’ve listened to it; now my circle of friends play most of his songs. I personally like that song, ‘devil’s Scissors,’ gothic style with dark elements; it’s the type I love.”

 

“I like the song “Room in the Heart”, a gentle song with a light sadness, it has a kind of rainy day breakup scene feeling.”

 

“Multiple choice is only for kids. All ten songs are my favorites.”

 

“Now my mobile phone ringtone and wake-up alarm clock are all set to Shi Fei’s songs; his voice is so good, I feel that it’s not worse than Shen Qingran at all.”

 

“I feel the same, and I even think his voice is a lot stronger than Shen Qingran’s.”

 

“Do you guys think Shi Fei will follow Shen Qingran and become the second person in China to get the Grammy Award for Best Singer?”

 

“You don’t have to ask, for sure. Shen Qingran’s ability to win the award is all thanks to the songs written by god Bu Li; now that Shi Fei has sung god Buli’s songs, the award will definitely be his.”

 

“I think Shen Qingran really lifted a stone and smashed his own foot; he’s probably regretting it now.”

 

“I changed my mind about Shi Fei; now I feel more and more that Shen Qingran’s singing is really average; he doesn’t deserve to sing god Bu Li’s songs.”

 

“Our Brother Fei sings the best. Who is Shen Qingran? I don’t know him.”

 

“Brother Fei’s singing is really good. Who will take the Grammy award if he doesn’t? It has to be him.”

 

In the first few days, everyone was still normal and favored Shi Fei’s album, but later it turned into more and more people starting to pull and step on Shen Qingran and Shi Fei.

 

Many ‘fans’ with Shi Fei’s avatar began to press their heads to favor his album, raising Shi Fei and lowering Shen Qingran.

 

This was the kind of tactic commonly used by showbiz capitalists; sometimes they’d promote one person over another in order to elevate another person’s status.

 

Another way was to invite many professional haters to come out and pretend to be fans of someone else to stir up trouble for fans or other people’s fans, causing a battle between the two fandoms.

 

This move wasn’t very useful for old fans in the fandom circle. They could distinguish whether it was a professional agency or not, but it was very effective for new fans and passersby who didn’t know the truth.

 

It made people feel that the artist’s fans lacked quality, which would ruin their reputation..

 

No matter how many fans a person had, it couldn’t surpass many passersby who sowed discord between two fans and tore them apart so that they could take advantage of the situation and benefit from the situation.

 

If the effect was good, it could also make the two stars have a bad relationship.

 

Even if it wouldn’t make the two stars have a bad relationship, at least it could make the relationship between the two fandoms not as harmonious as before.

 

In the meantime, it was holding Shi Fei in high esteem, as if he was bound to win a Grammy Award; if he didn’t win a Grammy Award for this album, there would naturally be people who would mock him at that time.

 

But if he really got it, then this year, Shen Qingran’s album would inevitably not get the award; after all, there was only one award for each category.

 

At that time, Qingmei and Shi Fei’s fans would have another fight; no matter what kind of ending this had, it would be favorable for the people behind the scenes.

 

From what they’d seen so far, the effect was still good; at least originally, Qingmei fans and Shi Fei’s fans were quite amicable, but due to this professional game, many Qingmei fans had objections to Shi Fei fans.

 

“Our brother introduced the great god to write songs for you. Even if you’re not grateful, there’s no need to spit on him, right?”

 

“Just released an album, and you’re thinking of getting a Grammy award. Your face is really big; be careful of falling over and embarrassing yourself.”

 

“Different people liking the same song is also depends on the artist’s level of strength. Our brother has already won three major awards; please win the award before mocking others.”

 

“I’m a Xiao Fei fan; our brother and teacher Shen Qingran have always been close friends, so don’t listen to what some unsuspecting people say. Some of the new fans were guided; I apologize to the Qingmei’s on behalf of the others.”

 

“We don’t accept your apologies; get out of here and roll back to your super talk, can’t you? You just ran to someone else’s place to look for curses.”

 

“Brother Qingran is just too kind. He introduced connections and bought albums for him to boost sales, and as a result, he raised a white-eyed wolf.”

 

“Shi Fei is trying to take advantage of Brother Qingran’s heat; Brother Qingran is really miserable.”

 

“Everyone should be rational in their pursuit of stars. Brother Qingran is very good, and Shi Fei is also very good.”

 

“You can’t live without invoking w-ar or anti-fans for a day, can you?”

 

“Our Brother Fei is still a newcomer; we don’t accept things like this. Teacher Shen Qingran is great.”

 

There were constantly ‘fans’ holding Shi Fei high, and the two fandoms were fiercely tearing each other apart. Of course, there were also fans who saw through this trick and came out to fight against the agency, but they were unable to resist their interference. In addition, the two of them had a large number of CP fans, and they all got involved, so this matter caused quite a stir in the industry.

 

If it continued like this, it was almost going to cause a scene offline.
