In the conference room of the recording base.
Just after the meeting ended, Ge Yunping got up and walked to the French windows.
On the long table behind her was a stack of papers.
On the top of the stack of papers was written: Pinwheel Band, affiliated company, Tengling Entertainment.
Someone opened the door and came in, calling her: "Mr. Ge, the car you called has arrived."
Ge Yunping turned around: "Okay, I'll go down in a while."
Apart from her, there was only Shen Cheng left in the meeting room. Shen Cheng looked up from the phone screen and joked, "Ms. Ge is working hard, Mr. Ge, go slowly."
Ge Yunping and Shen Cheng are old friends, she relaxed her expression, put her hands in her pockets and asked, "When are you leaving? I saw you swiping your phone for a long time at the meeting."
Shen Cheng: "I'll check Weibo for a while, see if there are any hot searches today." Speaking of this, Shen Cheng's tone was excited, "My song has been hanging for a day—who do you think will win in the end? Don't dare to say anything else, But it’s absolutely fine for a band like Vent to make it to the top three.”
Ge Yunping: "In terms of strength, there is no problem, it's just... a pity."
Shen Cheng was slightly taken aback.
Ge Yunping picked up her bag and walked towards the door: "I paid a lot of attention to this band, or I was surprised that there is such a band in the underground that has mainstream characteristics in all aspects."
Ge Yunping reached out to open the door, holding the doorknob: "I also want to continue to observe."
With a click, the door opened.
Ge Yunping walked out: "...but unfortunately, they can only go so far this time."
the other side.
Lu Yan pressed Gao Xiang's neck and told him to quickly take out the phone. Gao Xiang had no choice but to get out of bed, lifted the mattress, took out the phone from a mezzanine under the mattress, and flinched: "Here."
Lu Yan took it: "After I go out, I will return this kindness to you."
Gao Xiang: "..."
After going out.
It's like a prison atmosphere.
Although Lu Yan often asked him to borrow his mobile phone, except for checking Xiao Heng's chat box for a few minutes online, he rarely searched for news related to this game, so as not to think too much and be easily distracted after watching it.
This is the first time.
Lu Yan clicked into the new voting list. Sure enough, the Pinwheels topped the voting list.
Relying on several classic shots and brilliant stage performance of Lu Yan's first episode, the Vent band has always been a lot of topic, and it stands to reason that the number of votes will not be low.
But Paper Pinwheel, a band with significantly less discussion, had twice as many votes as their band.
Lu Yan checked the number of votes and then quit, logged into the Weichat account, and clicked on Xiao Heng's head portrait of the starry sky, which was still black at first glance.
The sentence that Xiao Heng sent over early this morning was posted in the rustic support outside the building in District 7, but it was an adapted version.
- Yan Yan bravely flies.
-Your father will always be with you.
Lu Yan was a little moved when he saw the first sentence, but when the second sentence came out, he only had one thought left.
I fucking beat you to death.
Lu Yan sat in Gao Xiang's dormitory for a while, when Nan Hesan came in after taking a shower, and the two chatted briefly.
"The toilet bully that Xiangzi mentioned is you?" Nan Hesan asked.
Lu Yan was so shocked by the news of the ticket swiping just now, his mind was in a mess, and he didn't bother with the word 'bully': "I'll just borrow a mobile phone, your band's keyboard players won't say me all the time. Have a meal."
Nan Hesan smiled but said, "Grow up. You used to be famous for being cold. Many little girls dared not ask you for your mobile phone number if they wanted to get close to you. Then they came to me. I had to send you no less than ten of them a week. "
During the years in Jizhou, Lu Yan really didn't like to meet people, and his thinking was naive: "At that time... the rebellious period."
Nan Hesan asked again: "I've heard about the paper pinwheel, this is only the second scene, what are you going to do?"
Lu Yan was silent for a while.
Nan He San did not continue this topic.
Lu Yan asked Nan Hesan to borrow a cigarette, and sat in their dormitory to finish smoking.
Before leaving, he took one last look at Xiao Heng's adapted version of the words of support before returning the phone.
At this point, everyone was almost ready to go to bed, the corridor was empty, Lu Yan returned to his dormitory, Da Pao and Xu Ye started to mock each other because of the female idols they each supported.
"You also like her dancing like this, go and taste my beauty!"
"How beautiful is she? Although she dances so-so, she sings well, and her voice is very ethereal... You go and listen to the voice of a fairy that exists in the sky!"
The two of them were blushing and thick-necked, one on the upper berth and the other on the lower berth, wishing they could fight across the bed.
Lu Yan interrupted them: "You two stop, I have something to say."
"Before you speak, you should be mentally prepared, especially Li Zhen, Lao Zhen, you'd better stay away, I can't guarantee your personal safety."
Li Zhen: "Why do you still involve me?"
"Because the drummers in our group are really lucky," Lu Yan said, "Our band is facing a ticket-making team this time."
Li Zhen, who thought he had the best luck: "..."
After briefly explaining the ins and outs, no one in the team spoke.
Cannon was the first to speak, his temper exploded, and his mouth was full of swear words: "Fuck..."
Xu Ye asked: "Then what shall we do?"
Lu Yan was still thinking about it.
Compared with the capital, their V group is too small. It is undoubtedly an egg hitting a stone, and it can easily crush them to death.
But Lu Yan never believed in fate, nor did he accept fate.
More will not compromise.
In the end, Lu Yan only confirmed one point: "No matter what, tomorrow's rehearsal will continue as usual."
They have just made the arrangement these few days, and they have stayed up all night for several nights. They are already vaguely looking forward to the next stage. Even though this news is bad news for everyone, before they think of a countermeasure, they can All I did was try my best.
The next day, they were Aquaman who met during their lunch break.
Since they met each other on the stage last time, the band Paper Pinwheel rarely appeared in their field of vision, and they rarely spent extra time rehearsing, and they couldn't be seen where the cameras couldn't record.
At noon that day, the Paper Pinwheels came back from the restaurant after dinner. When they passed by the door of their rehearsal hall, a member laughed and said, "They're still working hard."
The cause of the matter is very simple, just because of this laugh and six words.
Maybe the meaning is not what Da Pao thought, but Da Pao is not happy seeing them now, and can't help feeling that the other party is mocking them.
After all, Da Pao is young. He was born and raised in Jizhou for more than ten years. He is used to going straight to everything. He put down the piano and walked to the door: "Is there anything wrong with you?"
His tone was too aggressive, and one of the members of the Pinwheel band said, "What's the matter, you built this aisle? I can't talk here yet."
Da Pao was already full of anger. Since last night, the words he said were not very pleasant: "Yes, but if you can't speak, I suggest that some people just keep their mouths shut."
Pinwheel: "Who are you talking about, kid, and how do you talk about it?"
Lu Yan didn't have time to stop him, and shouted: "Da Pao, come back, don't do anything."
How can Da Pao listen to Lu Yan's words at this moment: "Whoever says it is clear, even the ticket collectors dare to bark here."
As soon as the word swiping tickets came out, the atmosphere immediately exploded.
"Fuck, who are you, don't be too crazy, kid."
However, Cannon is far more crazy than they thought: "Who am I? I am your grandfather. I remember you. Your guitar is like shit. How long have you been learning it? I guess it's not more than ten days."
in chaos.
You can say anything.
A few words from Da Pao completely intensified the conflict that was originally not considered a big one. Someone from the Pinwheel Band sarcastically said: "What are you still practicing, don't practice, I advise you to pack up and go home—"
Da Pao faced the opposite faces, secretly clenched his fists, his eyes were as red as his dyed hair a while ago.
Lu Yan's scalp went numb, and he thought something would happen.
This child is still too young, he doesn't know that there are many unfair things in this society, and not everything in the adult world has a reason to say.
If this matter were changed to Lu Yan four years ago, he wouldn't be able to bear it. He wouldn't even walk over and ask "What's the matter?" Don't talk about just throwing your fists up—even if the match is no match, even if you have a good time, you immediately turn your head and leave.
"Dai Peng," Lu Yan yelled coldly, "Did you fucking hear me when I told you not to do it?!"
Li Zhen tried to smooth things over: "Da Pao, calm down..."
As a person who never got into fights since childhood, Xu Ye was only bullied unilaterally by his classmates: "Yeah, if you have something to say..."
Cannon didn't listen at all, and punched one of the members of the Pinwheel band directly on the bridge of the nose—
Things happen so fast.
The words and characters were particularly chaotic in this scene. It took only a few seconds before and after. At the moment when Da Pao punched out, Li Zhen and Xu Ye were far away, and before they had time to stop him, they thought it was over.
However, after a burst of riots, the scene that was expected to appear did not appear.
The few people who were arguing so loudly fell into a kind of weird silence.
After the invisible gunpowder/smoke gradually dissipated, everyone's eyes stopped on the man with the brow stud beside the cannon. No matter how cold the brow stud was, it couldn't be as cold as his expression at the moment.
Lu Yan stood beside the cannon, holding Cannon's wrist with one hand. His knuckles were abnormally white, the blue veins on the back of his hand were obviously protruding, and his face was also pale. It was very difficult to block this punch.
Da Pao lowered his eyes, and his eyes touched Lu Yan's hand holding him... The black tattoo on his wrist, with several sharp horns facing him, the heat from his body immediately subsided, and his mind became clearer.
"Big brother..."
Li Zhen was even speechless, the words stuck in his throat: "Old Lu."
Lu Yan blocked Da Pao's punch with his left hand.
Da Pao's mind is clear, but he still can't figure it out: "If you hit him, hit him, what are you afraid of, what's there to coax!"
The lunch break was over soon, and after the end, it was time for recording in the afternoon. The Paper Pinwheel Band and other people who came out of the rehearsal hall to watch the scene quickly dispersed.
They were the only ones left in the corridor.
"Have you had enough trouble?"
Lu Yan said: "After this punch, what about after that, really want to pack up and get out? Have you thought about the consequences of being forced to retire due to bad influence? Anyone who mentions Da Pao in the future will know that it is the bastard who hit someone—the rumor is Don't you still think you are awesome?"
Lu Yan could only use his left hand in the position he was standing just now, and he couldn't reach his right hand at all. He endured the pain and said: "Their team's tickets are so cheap, we don't care whether we can win this time... Dai Peng, what do you think?" Haven’t we, the tens of thousands of people who voted for our band are waiting for our next performance.”
What Lu Yan said were questions that Da Pao hadn't thought about at all.
Cannon froze at the door.
After Lu Yan finished speaking, he turned and went to the bathroom without looking at Da Pao's reaction.
After Lu Yan left, Li Zhen patted Da Pao on the shoulder in a complicated mood and said, "I'll go see him." Before Li Zhen left, he couldn't help but say more, "And your elder brother is not cowardly."
"Swinging your fist up is not called strong, it's too easy."
Cannon slowly squatted down, clutching his hair in silence.
Li Zhen looked at Da Pao like this, and knew that he understood the meaning, so he didn't say the second half of the sentence.
When Li Zhen followed into the bathroom, Lu Yan was washing his wrist with cold water.
The only sound left in the bathroom was the beeping of the faucet.
Li Zhen: "Is your hand okay? I remember that there seems to be an infirmary here. Go and have a look?"
Lu Yan: "It's okay, it should be fine in a while."
Li Zhen: "Go and prescribe some ointment, painkiller spray or something like that."
Lu Yan flushed for a while, then turned off the tap: "I have all those things, I really don't need them."
Lu Yan leaned against the sink again and said, "Isn't it just a punch, I'm a big man, let alone a punch—"
"Yeah, it's almost enough to talk about it." Li Zhenbi made a pause gesture, "I knew you were going to pretend."
Lu Yan smiled: "Damn it."
After a while, Li Zhen said again: "That kid is still too young, don't worry about him, I think he knows it's wrong. When I was his age, my temper was not much better than him, and I have to be more mature when I grow up." Is it a process?"
"Yes," Lu Yan wiped his hands with the hem of his clothes indiscriminately and said, "I didn't plan to argue with him, I just suppressed the big move just now, my hands hurt, and I want to make a perfect, handsome and intimidating exit..."
"By the way." Lu Yan was halfway through talking, then changed the subject, "About the Sea Kings team, I thought of a countermeasure last night."
Five minutes later, the band four gathered in the rehearsal room.
Seeing Lu Yan come in, Da Pao stood up abruptly: "Brother, I'm sorry, I..."
Lu Yan sat on the high stool next to the wheat shelf, his legs were stretched out, and men didn't have so many twists and turns, he made a silent gesture: "This page has turned, let's go Get back to memory."
Da Pao: "I will definitely remember the teachings of my elder brother!"
Lu Yan: "I have something to say."
Lu Yan's countermeasure is very simple. It is impossible to find traces of falsified votes. No matter what method is used, the fake will not become true.
"So we have to prove it's fake first, and then expose it on the Internet?" Li Zhen understood, "But how do we prove it's fake?"
Xu Ye is a computer major student at any rate: "Now is the era of big data, and it is very likely that it was stolen by other users' accounts with ticket-swiping software. If you give me a computer now, I can try it."
Not even a cell phone, let alone a computer.
Li Zhen had a headache: "What's the matter?"
Several people got together head to head and formed a circle.
In this circle, Lu Yan stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers: "So our first step is to find foreign aid."
Gao Xiang can't remember how many nights he didn't sleep well, and was picked up by bullies and asked "where is the phone".
He opened his eyes in a daze, and found that this time the bully had four heads.
He rubbed his eyes hard to confirm that it wasn't his own dizziness, but that four people really came tonight.
Gao Xiang: "Lu Yan, you are not human, not only do you want to use my phone yourself, but you also bring so many people over to ravage it?!"
Lu Yan was wearing a sweater with a hat this day. He tilted his head back slightly before he started, and the hat slipped off: "Stop talking nonsense, there are things. I just fumbled under your bed for a long time and didn't find them."
Gao Xiang got up and took the mobile phone for them: "...in my washbasin, covered with a towel, what are you doing with so many people?"
Lu Yan said: "I will change my fate against the sky today."
Gao Xiang: "..."
The dormitory was pitch black after the lights were turned off.
Several people squatted in a circle around Gao Xiang's mobile phone and waited for the mobile phone to turn on. Gao Xiang was also curious and joined the circle to squat with them.
After the phone was turned on and connected to the Internet, before Lu Yan had time to log out of Gao Xiang's account, a message popped up in the notification bar: Shocked! Paper Pinwheel was exposed to falsification of voting data!
This news made Lu Yan not know what to do next.
Gao Xiang explained: "That's a push account I follow, and it pushes some gossip about our competition every day... But why is Neptune exposed? Are the netizens so good this year."
Lu Yan didn't speak, but his heart beat faster and faster, and he had a premonition in his heart.
Until he moved his finger and pointed in, the complete push blog was displayed in front of several people.
This afternoon, the online voting channel has only been open for less than a day, and a netizen named XH deeply analyzed a series of ticket swiping operations of the Pinwheel Band. Nearly 30,000 votes were completed by five computers! From the picture released by this netizen, it can be clearly seen that the computer IPs used by these voting accounts are exactly the same...
Judging from the screenshot, XH's Weibo post is concise and to the point, without any extra words.
There are many words displayed on the screen of the mobile phone, but these words gradually become blurred, and finally only two English letters are left.
XH.
Lu Yan didn't speak for a long time, but Li Zhen was very excited: "This netizen is really a good person! Heaven has eyes!" After Li Zhen was excited, he recalled, "But this XH... wait, XH, how do you feel? So familiar?"
Gao Xiang was also very excited by such a turning point: "What's the matter, do you know each other?"
Lu Yan said, "I know."
Gao Xiang looked at him: "Who is it?"
Lu Yan stared at that XH, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought of the earthy support Xiao Heng sent last night.
- Yan Yan bravely flies.
So Lu Yan blurted out: "My father."
