With a "snap", Shi Rou's phone dropped.
It took a while for Meng Yuan's voice to come out of the receiver, a little in a trance, "It's really, every day is full of surprises..."
Shi Rou opened her mouth, cautiously, fearing that she had hallucinations just now, "Niannian, are you really Si Ning?"
Yu Nian nodded, "Well, if you're talking about Si Ning, who wrote songs for Yu Qing and the theme song for "The Ancient Road" some time ago, it's indeed me."
Meng Yuan was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "Now! Immediately! Return to the company immediately!"
An hour later, in the office, Meng Yuan held a cup of steaming caramel latte and stared at Yu Nian very carefully.
Yu Nian changed his sitting position uncomfortably, "Brother Meng, what are you looking at?"
"I'm looking to see if you have three heads and six arms!" Meng Yuan sighed, "After hanging up the phone, I laughed three times in the office, feeling very happy!"
He raised his eyebrows, "Now let's talk about the business, hurry up and explain, why did you go to write songs?"
"It's a hobby. When I was in high school, I would write and write songs by myself," Yu Nian said carefully. "Three years ago, my grandmother passed away, and I was the only one left. At that time, there were many places to spend money. The savings I left were about to disappear, so I thought, I can’t just sit and eat, I have to make money.”
"But I was studying at that time, and I hadn't figured out how to make money. Later, when my sister came to visit me at my house, she happened to see the manuscript of a song I wrote. She hummed a few passages and thought it sounded good, so she asked me to make it. Give her the full version. I sorted it out and handed it to her that night, and she took it back to show to her agent, and then contacted me to say that it has been reviewed."
Meng Yuan didn't hold back and interjected, "Then you started writing songs for Yu Qing?"
"Well, I saved up a lot of finished and semi-finished products, sorted them out, and gave them to my sister to choose by herself. Soon after, my sister released a new album called "Nothing."
"I know that "Nothing" was the sales champion of the year. At that time, many people were wondering who the songwriter named 'Sining' was." What a splash, on the contrary, she brought funds into the filming group, and the box office results were good. She became popular as a singer after "Nothing."
After taking a sip of hot coffee, Meng Yuan asked again, "How old were you then? Eighteen?"
"Well, eighteen." Seeing Meng Yuan staring at himself up and down again, Yu Nian confessed, "I was young at the time, and my sister said that songwriting also depends on seniority. I am unreliable when I am young, and I will be bullied by lower prices. , and sometimes even don’t even have the right to defend their own works.”
"That's true, so you are mysterious and you don't use your real name?"
"Yes, and I was studying at the time, and I didn't want my side job to affect my studies, so I only wrote songs for my sister, and didn't accept other people's songs. My sister took good care of me, and no one else knew about it' Si Ning ' Who the hell is it?"
Meng Yuan didn't hold back, "I really believe your evil! What the hell is this reason? Do you know what the circle is talking about? The low output of Sining must be because the songs that come out are all high-quality goods. If there is such a good one, either there are too many waste manuscripts, or the writing is very slow!"
As soon as he slapped the table, the coffee cup shook. It was unbelievable, "The result? It turned out to be because I was studying and didn't want the side job to affect my study? Are you kidding me?"
"It's true," Yu Nian explained, "Didn't I study history at university? An old professor valued me very much and was going to accept me as a closed disciple to inherit the mantle, so the assignments were very heavy. They would always take me to the exchange meeting. After I graduated, I decided to enter the entertainment circle to become a singer, and the teacher was angry with me for a long time."
"Oh." Meng Yuan didn't know what expression to put on. Co-authored, song writing is really a sideline.
He suddenly remembered that when Yu Qing's albums became popular one after another and dominated the charts for several months, singers, big and small, wanted to ask Si Ning to ask for a song, but they couldn't find anyone to ask for a song.
At that time, Yu Nian should be in... classes and exams? Or fly around with a mentor and attend academic seminars
Thinking of this, the expression on Meng Yuan's face became a little more gloomy.
Oh, really a side job.
Shi Rou was curious, "That year, why did you call Si Ning?"
Yu Nian said with a smile, "Because my grandfather has the word 'Ning' in his name."
Seeing that Yu Nian's smile had faded a little, Shi Rou was afraid of touching Yu Nian's sad things, so she nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"That's not right," Meng Yuan suddenly thought, "You have written so many songs, and each song is more popular than the last, so why are you still so poor? You are so poor that you can't afford take-out, and you still rely on wholesale clothes by dozen! You Where did all those copyright fees go? Song Huo, the number of songs is close to twenty, no matter how you calculate it, the money should be quite a lot, right?"
Yu Nian replied honestly, "The Music Copyright Association will pay me the copyright fee every six months, but it's all spent."
Meng Yuan felt a pain in his cheek, held back, and persuaded, "I didn't say that, every year, your investment vision is really not ordinary!"
Yu Nian just laughed, didn't argue, and naturally changed the subject, "Also, I didn't tell Brother Meng that I was Si Ning, but I actually wanted to give myself a way out."
Meng Yuan nodded, "Afraid I'm not happy? No. I thought about it before, and I probably understand your thoughts. Singers may be hacked, hidden, or even forced to quit the entertainment circle because of various messy things. But even if it gets there In such a situation, as long as you protect your vest and don’t let others know that Si Ning is Yu Nian, your identity as a songwriter will not be affected in any way, and you can continue to write and sell songs, right?”
"Yes." Yu Nian heaved a sigh of relief and smiled, "Brother Meng, you understand me."
Meng Yuan snorted, "Of course, you little kid!" He changed his posture again, took a sip of latte slowly, and sighed, "Oh, what can I do, how good is Dad Meng's vision? , I didn’t pay attention, and even pulled out your diamond! You even brought your own vest! Sign one get one free!"
Seeing that Meng Yuan started to swell again, Shi Rou covered her mouth and smiled quietly.
Yu Nian waited for Meng Yuan to finish speaking before asking, "Then Brother Meng, what should we do now?"
Meng Yuan put on a serious expression, "This matter is mainly up to you. If you don't want to expose Sining's vest, then we will go the same way as Xue Yalin and sue the rumormongers."
Yu Nian thought, "But even if you take the legal route, there will still be many people who think it's ghostwriting, right?"
"Yes, it can't be washed away. For singer-songwriters, ghostwriting and plagiarism can't be washed away for a lifetime. After ten years, someone will find it out. This is the terrible thing about Internet public opinion. Countless people firmly believe what they believe. It’s the truth, and it doesn’t matter what the facts are.”
Meng Yuan sighed, and said, "If you are willing to expose the vest of Si Ning, it will be easy to handle. Where can I write it for myself? That Yao's face is going to be swollen!"
Yu Nian didn't hesitate for long, and said firmly, "I don't want others to label me as a 'ghost writer'."
"Okay! I just like your temperament! You have been wronged and slandered, and you can suffocate yourself to death, just want to fight back neatly!"
Meng Yuan laughed again, "Tsk, Yao Yang tasted the sweetness from revealing that Li Yin wrote on behalf of him, and then poured dirty water all over Xue Yalin's body. Unfortunately, the heat was not very high, and he didn't achieve his goal, so he turned around and wanted to drag you into the water. But he The forwarded Tomato Forum post, with an ambiguous attitude, is not acceptable. People have to be responsible for their own actions, aren’t they?”
He turned the coffee cup in his hand, with a gentle smile, "This time, let him have a long experience, experience it, what does it mean to kick a steel plate!"
Shi Rou, who had been listening carefully, was still a little confused, "Brother Meng, what shall we do?"
Meng Yuan asked Shi Rou, "I'll just ask you, what's the date today?"
"January 1st, New Year's Day, what I participate in every year today is the brand New Year's event of Fei Leng Cui."
Meng Yuan: "You haven't updated Weibo today, have you?"
Yu Nian understood Meng Yuan's plan, and couldn't help laughing, "Yes, I haven't recorded a happy new year video yet."
Shi Rou thought of something, but her train of thought was not very clear, seeing Yu Nian and Meng Yuan looking at each other, she always felt that both of them were bad or bad.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Nian updated a video on Weibo.
In the video, he is clean and fresh, wearing a large white V-neck loose sweater, sitting on the sofa, smiling, "Today is the first day of the new year, I wish you all the best!"
After chatting for a few days, Yu Nian took a small poster and introduced it with a smile, "This is the promotional poster for my new album, let me show you it first, it looks pretty, right
This EP contains a total of five songs, one of which was co-written by Jiang Cheng and Jiang Bo. The other four songs, lyrics, composition, and arrangement are all done by myself. The entire EP will probably be completed in March, and I am looking forward to it... "
After the video was released, in less than a minute, the comments broke five figures.
"—Happy New Year every year! Grab the front row! Ahhh, I'm looking forward to the EP! It will be a hit when it comes out!"
"—Why is it so difficult to grab the top 5,000! Do you all live on Weibo? Ahhh, Happy New Year! The poster is so beautiful! The point is! Lyrics, music and arrangement, are they all in each year? Is such an all-in-one machine really good? You can rely on your face, why should you rely on your talent every year!"
"—I have seen it, there are such disgusting people? How dare you say that you wrote the lyrics, composed the music, and arranged the music? Are you afraid of collapse if you sell your talents? Li Yin and Xue Yalin are the lessons learned from the past, rookies! play!"
"-I vomited with my real name, signed my name with someone else's hard work, and then said proudly that I am looking forward to it. For the sake of fame and fortune, for making money, are you really disregarding any morals? @曲曲人 Yao Yang, Teacher Yao, come and see this ugly face?"
"-Said that Niannian was written on behalf of you, show the evidence! Just based on a few analyzed pictures, you will be convicted of the crime? Have you opened your eyes?"
Soon, following the hot searches of #余年代写# and #思宁#, #余年新精品# also followed suit. In the first six years, three of them were related to Yu Nian. And the seventh place is #谭扬发布#.
Shi Rou kept staring at the data, while Meng Yuan was very calm, chatting with Yu Nian, "How's the MV going?"
"It's going well. Teacher Zuo Ming said it will take about six days. The accompaniment will go through the door and cut the empty mirror. There are a few lyrics that need to be changed in succession, so even if you work overtime, it will take about a week."
"Okay, take a good shot. By the way, I got the invitation letter. There is a year-end fashion celebration and you are going to walk the red carpet. The time is January 11th. At that time, the EP is in the late stage. You just need to pay attention to the progress from time to time, Zuo Ming. Still pretty solid."
Yu Nian had no objection, "OK."
Meng Yuan smiled smugly again, "You don't know, Zuo Ming is not convinced by the king, but he is convinced by Si Ning, a top talent. If you want to change anything in the later stage, you can directly discuss it with him. Where is the need?" You grind for another week."
Yu Nian nodded and said with a smile, "Well, opinions and ideas will only be respected if you have strength."
"That's the reason." Meng Yuan patted Yu Nian's shoulder, "Come on, don't worry about shooting the MV, I'll tell you if there's anything going on."
When Yu Nian arrived at the shooting location, the workers were still building the scene, everyone was busy, and there was nothing he had to do for the time being.
He called Yu Qing first, and then sent messages to Xie You and Xia Mingxi, explaining the matter and Meng Yuan's plan in general. Xie You came back quickly, "Okay, it's raining, pay attention to adding clothes." Xia Mingxi might be busy and didn't come back right away.
He was just about to put down his phone when he received a call from Xue Yalin.
"Do you have time to say a few words?"
"Well, the MV hasn't started filming yet. I have time." Yu Nian probably guessed what Xue Yalin wanted to say, and asked directly, "Is it about Yao Yang?"
Xue Yalin didn't beat around the bush, "Yao Yang has a lot of tricks and tricks, you have to be careful. I was spotted by him before, and I'm almost peeling off. He likes to buy sailors to bring rhythm, and he has all kinds of dirty things and high moral hats." What he likes most is splashing dirty water that is not clear. Anyway, if he doesn’t make it clear, he can’t be held accountable. Those who are willing to believe in him will not only believe it, but also believe it deeply, thinking that he is a justice envoy who exposes the dark side of the entertainment industry ,fart!"
Yu Nian heard her finish speaking with suppressed anger, knowing that the other party was kind enough to remind him, thank you, "Thank you, I will definitely be careful."
"Well, I see that you are also being targeted, so just say a few more words, don't be annoyed."
"How? It's too late for me to thank you."
"Okay, you have a good discussion with your team. Looking at the situation, Yao Yang has made up his mind. He wants to step on us to build momentum, set himself up as a singer, and develop into a singer-songwriter. I will write down this grudge." Xue Yalin said in a tone. The usual indifference, "Stop talking, I'm off to work."
"Well, good bye."
Sure enough, less than two hours after Yu Nian's video was posted, the number of comments began to increase significantly, including topics related to ghostwriting, which also increased steadily.
The trend of the comments was even more one-sided, they were all scolding Yu Nian for writing, and there were even conspiracy theories, saying that Si Ning hadn't appeared until now, maybe it was controlled by Yu Nian and Yu Qing, and they were still discussing whether to call the police.
Meng Yuan lost his smile when he saw it, "His father Meng has long disdained the method of buying water, military control, criticizing and swearing!"
Yu Nian unscrewed the vacuum flask and drank water to quench his thirst, "Brother Meng, didn't you say you wanted to smile and watch them dance?"
"That's what I said, but it's so embarrassing!" Meng Yuan threw away the phone, and said angrily, "It's pure if you don't see it!"
Shi Rou took a printed piece of paper and came over, "Brother Meng, I found out. The several numbers posted on the Tomato Forum are all the same as Yao Yang's IP address, which can basically be proved to be the same person."
Meng Yuan clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay, okay, let's take this step first."
After five o'clock in the afternoon, an entertainment account first threw out the picture, "Some netizens discovered that the person who posted Yu Nian's realistic hammer on the tomato forum was actually one person. @曲曲人谭杨, Teacher Yao is a deep hidden merit With a name!"
"Ms. Yao, is this for self-protection? I understand. After all, the star tree behind Yu Nian is deeply rooted. Even if Mr. Yao is a small person with a heart of exposing the darkness and giving an explanation to countless poor people, he will surely have Worried about it, I dare not go to the battle.”
"—Speaking of Yu Nian's writing, first use the trumpet to open several posts to splash dirty water, and then repost them with rhythm, timidly, @曲曲人谭杨, really a good routine!"
"—Why does Mr. Yao stand behind the scenes? You're the one who hates you in the front! This kind of person is going to be hated to death! We all support you!"
Soon, Meng Yuan spent money on this topic and it became a trending topic, and the popularity soared.
Shi Rou worried, "Brother Meng, will Yao Yang bite the hook?"
Meng Yuan said firmly, "Brother Meng, you have seen a lot of people like Yao Yang. He used to hide in the dark and has a little talent. Once he was torn apart, he was suddenly praised by others, and he was crowned with a shining halo. He wants to believe it himself, and he really wants to expose the darkness in the entertainment industry. I don’t need to buy trolls to praise him now, I just need the compliments from the group of people gathered under his Weibo, he is more than hooked , he can go to heaven!"
As Meng Yuan expected, before nine o'clock that night, Yao Yang posted a long Weibo post, first acquiescing that the post on the Tomato Forum was done by himself, saying that he deserved everyone's praise and expectations, and he just did it. What he should do, his own moral bottom line and principles of doing things, made him unable to stand idly by in the face of these things.
Moreover, he knows how painful it is for his work to be named by someone else. I also hated the atmosphere of this kind of talented people in the entertainment industry, and resolutely resisted it to the end.
In addition, he said that he had already contacted Si Ning himself, and he would definitely give an explanation for this matter. I hope that Yu Nian and Yu Nian's team stop and apologize in time, otherwise it will be too late for regrets, and Yu Nian and Meng Yuan will be circled at the end.
After Meng Yuan finished watching, he laughed out loud, "Oh, that's amazing, Niannian, has he contacted you?"
Yu Nian smiled and shook his head, "No."
Meng Yuan: "It's amazing, Dad Meng hasn't met so many people in a long time!"
Soon, major marketing accounts and entertainment accounts reposted Yao Yang's long Weibo, and #谭扬发声# airborne hot search. Because Yao Yang mentioned that he had already contacted Si Ning himself and the result was about to come out, more and more people flocked to Yu Nian's Weibo, expressing their resolute boycott of Yu Nian's new EP.
Whether it is wind or rain on the Internet, my work has not been affected. After filming the MV, Yu Nian took off his makeup, "Brother Meng, shall I go back first?"
Meng Yuan was reading the comments on Yao Yang's Weibo, and said cheerfully, "Okay, have a good rest, remember to watch the show at eleven o'clock tomorrow morning!"
Knowing that Meng Yuan was holding his breath, Yu Nian nodded seriously, "Okay, definitely on time."
After returning home, Yu Nian took a shower, wrapped in a nightgown, and was about to send a message to Xie You to say good night, but he did not expect to receive a message from the other party first.
There are only two simple words, "Good night."
Yu Nian stared at the screen for a while, then suddenly thought of something, turned on the camera, made a "heart-to-heart" gesture with his index finger and thumb, took a photo and sent it to Xie You.
After more than ten minutes, Xie You's message came back, "I know, this is you comparing my heart to me."
Yu Nian slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and could almost imagine Xie You saying these words in a serious manner.
Soon, the second message popped up. It was also a photo. The background should be in a study or office. Xie You crossed his fingers and made a similar heartbeat.
Yu Nian quickly typed a reply, "Good night, your fingers are beautiful."
Sitting in the office, Xie You, who was waiting for a reply, saw this message, his eyes fixed on the second half of the sentence, and his ears suddenly felt hot——
Every year they praise my hands for their beauty!
At eleven o'clock the next morning, Yu Nian was filming the MV. At the same time, the official blog of the entertainment section of "This Morning Times" posted a news item.
"... Our reporter arrived at the Music Copyright Association this morning... According to the registered information, we learned surprising news.
Si Ning, a songwriter, whose real name is Yu Nian, is from Ningcheng. The copyrighted works registered under his name include "Nothing" (lyric), "Yuan Xing" (lyric), "Wild" (lyric)... "
At the same time, the official information map of the association is also attached, including Si Ning's partially coded personal information form. Not only is his real name clearly written, but Yu Nian's ID photo is also pasted in the upper right corner.
Compared with Yu Nian's current photos, only his facial features look younger and his hairstyle is different.
Once the news was sent out, it was quickly forwarded frantically.
"—Fuck! Fuck! Yu Nian is Si Ning? Are they alone?"
"—Ah, I am Si Ning every year? My God, what a peerless truth! I'm slow!"
"—as a rice cake I want to be quiet... I want to scream!"
Almost using the speed of flying, #余年思宁# reached the top of the trending search.
"—#余年思宁# I read the news over and over again five times! I’m so stupid! I just want to ask @曲曲人谭杨, didn’t you say that you contacted Si Ning himself? Didn’t you say that soon Is there a result? Ouch, my face is swollen!"
"—#余年思宁#Eat new melons in the New Year! This melon is also awesome! Passers-by have been fans. Three years ago, Yu Nian was just eighteen years old, right? He was able to write "Far Star" and "Nothing" "For a song like this, it's not an exaggeration to say that the sky is a genius! The point is, the face is so good! I can dance! There are also stalks! Little brother, do you think my kneeling standard is not standard?"
"—Crying! I have been wronged every year! My heart is so distressed, come here to hug my mother! I have been splashed with dirty water and slandered before, @曲曲人谭杨, come out and apologize!"
"—Ah, what kind of fairy brother is my fan! It's completely all-in-one! Just ask what else you don't know! When I started writing songs and detonated the music circle at the age of eighteen, what the hell did I do? I'm preparing for the college entrance examination! Why is there such a big gap between people?"
"-Yao Yang's way, anyone with a discerning eye can see it? It's really not worthy of sympathy for Li Yin to find a ghostwriter to set up by tearing up Li Yin. Xue Yalin went into the water and found that it didn't work, so he focused on Yu Nian again. It's a pity that he thought that what he saw was the world, that he was a ghostwriter, and others were also looking for ghostwriters, but he didn't know that some people were really geniuses. , by myself alone, I can instantly kill countless people!"
"—We are wronged every year, we want to keep a low profile every year, but we don't want to be a horse! I didn't expect to be forcibly stripped of the vest, sad!"
At noon, Yu Qing, who had been quiet all along, posted on Weibo.
"Yu Qing: The crew was closed to filming, and only when I connected to the Internet did I find out that there is something wrong! Niannian loves to write songs, but I am afraid that it will affect his study, so I suppress him from writing more. The surname Yao, you think you are 30 At the age of five, I wrote the song "The One I Love" and came out. Is it because I am so talented that I can go to heaven? I didn't blow it up, just randomly picked a song from the waste manuscripts every year, and beat you every second! Apologize to me!! !"
A lot of comments hahaha.
"—Hahaha, the guardian brother's madman was born out of nowhere, and Sister Qing is furious!"
"—hahaha Sister Qing used three exclamation points at the end, this is really angry, @奖曲人谭杨, surnamed Yao, take the time to apologize, otherwise Sister Qing will kick her into the hospital!"
Immediately afterwards, Meng Yuan directly reposted the Weibo of "This Morning Times", and only posted one word, "Oh."
"—This is what is called strength ridicule! Strongly imitate the forwarding of composer Yao Da! My brother Meng made his C debut!"
"—Hahaha I fainted from laughing! Alas, why is the artist I bring so powerful, alas, swollen and swollen!"
"—Hey, my idol is too powerful, right? Compared with others (talent, voice, singing, dancing skills, etc.), the least valuable thing is appearance!"
By the time Yu Nian's MV was filmed, #唷，最使贷是色# had swept the homepage. Taking advantage of the popularity, Yu Nian's animations, short dance videos, including the mixed cuts of the songs he wrote, were all amwayed again.
However, Yao Yang's Weibo has remained silent. Countless people feel that they have been fooled, and gathered under Yao Yang's Weibo, demanding that the other party stand up and speak out. At the same time, Xue Yalin's team also seized the opportunity and reiterated that there is no so-called ghostwriting, and everything is Yao Yang's dirty water for attention.
Meng Yuan was very satisfied with the result, and helped Yu Nian pick up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with serving chopsticks, smiling all over his face, "In just a long time, I have received seven or eight calls asking if I can ask you to make an appointment to sing, I—"
"Can."
Seeing that Meng Yuan was a little surprised, Yu Nian said with a smile, "I have written a lot of songs. I was busy with "Tian Lai" before, and then I focused on filming. Now that I am free, I just sorted them out and sold them for money. As for the partner, Meng Ge, can you Check it out for me?"
"Of course, it's what I should do." Meng Yuan thought of Yu Nian's speed of spending money, and was afraid of hurting the self-esteem of young people, so he said euphemistically, "It's good to make money by writing songs, at least I can buy two more down jackets for the winter!"
Yu Nian frowned, "Well, then I'll trouble Brother Meng!"
At this time, Shi Rou, who had been scrolling through hot searches, said in surprise, "What kind of operation is this? Mr. Xie actually bought a hot search!"
Meng Yuan frowned, and said troubledly, "Hey Niannian again? Why is he so in love?"
"No, no, there is no black Niannian. This time the style of painting is different. The position he bought is just below the three topics of Niannian, ranking fourth." Shi Rou was also puzzled, "The hot search tag is only two words, Comparing."
Yu Nian clicked on Xie You's Weibo and found that Xie You had posted a photo. In the center of the picture is a specimen made of rose petals. Positioned off the corner, Xie You's index finger and thumb with well-defined knuckles overlap, making a standard heart shape.
Yu Young smiled, tapped the screen, and saved the picture in the phone.
