Chapter 33 New Issues
Back at the villa, a few people who were tired for a day took a shower and went to bed. Of course, they were sleeping separately. Xiao Yi wanted to sleep in the same room as Mu Ran and his daughter, but... Alas, the revolution has not been successful yet, and comrades still need to work hard!
In the next few days, Mu Ran and Xiao Yi were busy shooting MVs, and ignored all the reports and discussions online. The studio also received instructions from Sister Juan to not respond.
The song "Courage" is indeed as Sister Juan said. It has topped the "Dimensional Music Click List", "Penguin Music New Songs List", "Cool Cat New Songs Recommendation List" and other major domestic music charts.
Moreover, more people began to pay attention to and listen to and download this song during the day. The comments on various music websites were almost full of praise.
"I have liked a boy for a long time and I haven't had the courage to confess my love. But after listening to this song, I confessed my love bravely, but he agreed. I'm so happy. Thank you Mu Ran. Love really takes courage..."
"This song reminds me of you in the past, and we once lacked this courage!"
"Mu Ran used a song "Courage" to let us hear the helplessness and sadness between lovers. We all need courage to face the rumors in the world..."
"I'm sure this song will be popular, and it will be very popular. If it is not popular, I will eat three jin Xiang!"
"The upstairs are majestic and domineering! Do you need ingredients?"
...
"I fell in love with my roommate. Do I want to take advantage of the courage this song gives me to confess my love?"
"Is it a man or a woman upstairs?"
"The eyes are not good upstairs, and the avatars and gender in the information that you go upstairs are unbearable to look at them!"
"I feel worried for the person in that dormitory... I can only silently yell at the verge of warning, don't pick up the soap!"
...
Well... the good building is crooked when it is covered...
Music critics from various professionals have also shown their presence and expressed their opinions online, but their comments are not so friendly.
A professor at the National Conservatory of Music, named Wei Mingde, commented on Weibo: "Mu Ran's new song is still good in terms of quality. However, it is not clear who wrote the song. People who can write such songs must have many years of creative experience. Obviously, people from Mu Ran's studio cannot write it."
"I agree with Professor Wei Mingde's words. Now some artists who have some reputations change their careers and enter the music industry. If they have some achievements, they don't know what their surname is. They use any means to make songs! I can only say that no matter how good the singing is, it is useless if there is a problem with their character!" Guo Yuan, a well-known audio critic in the music industry, commented.
"I don't know what Mu Ran's song is from, and I don't comment on it, but in terms of the quality of this song, I give it eight points!" Another professor at the National Conservatory of Music Li Xiaofeng commented.
...
When Xiao Yi saw the comments of these professionals, he couldn't help but curse: "Damn, these brainless things are really good at speaking against their conscience, and they are professors. I feel sad for those students!"
Sister Juan said from the side: "Haha, Wei Mingde is famous for being shameless in the circle. Although his professionalism is good, his character is indeed not very good. Those who slander and question Mu Ran on the Internet are people who have some contact with him, either his students or his friends. Can those professionals still have many people who can still evaluate them fairly?"
"Hmph, I thought it was not the same group of people who slander Mu Ran. It turned out that they were all snakes and rats! But something was wrong. How could the other party's energy use only these tricks to deal with us?" Xiao Yi asked in confusion.
"Yes, I'm also puzzled. The tricks we thought of have not been used in advance now. What are they thinking?" Sister Juan was also full of questions.
What they didn't know was that the mastermind behind this time did not take action directly, but manipulated Park Tae-sey to do this, and Park Tae-sey didn't have that much energy to achieve the same effect as last time "banned" Mu Ran.
And the mastermind behind the scenes is now preparing for other things, just let Park Tae-sey find out the source of Mu Ran’s songs first so as to give Mu Ran a fatal blow!
"Since the other party doesn't make any moves, let's take action first and don't let the other party's actions disrupt our plans." Xiao Yi said to Sister Juan.
Sister Juan nodded and said, "Well, I'll make arrangements later."
At this time, Sister Li came over and called Xiao Yi. The next MV that needed Xiao Yi started shooting. Xiao Yi started shooting with pain and happiness again. In this MV, there were more interactions between the male and female protagonists...
While the discussions on the Internet were in full swing, Mu Ran Studio finally released the news.
"First of all, thank you for your support for Mu Ran and her new songs. Secondly, we are here to solemnly declare that the songs on Mu Ran's new album are obtained through legal and legitimate channels, and there is no problem. I hope everyone will not believe the rumors on the Internet!
We are here to solemnly warn those who slander Mu Ran and our studio. If there is evidence, please show it out. If there is no evidence, please delete the relevant inappropriate remarks within two hours in this statement and issue an apology statement. Otherwise, we will sue the relevant individuals and media, and we believe that the law will give us justice!”
As soon as Mu Ran’s studio’s statement was released, it was immediately topped by the huge crowd of people who were obsessing with melons.
"Mu Ran Studio is so tough this time? It seems that there is no problem with the song."
"Those beasts and bricks, please delete the comments quickly, otherwise the police will come to check the water meter."
"I just pretend to behave, but I don't believe they really dare to sue them. They are professors at the National Conservatory of Music and there are so many media. Wouldn't Mu Ran be afraid of being banned?"
"The upstairs is crazy, the identification is completed!"
"On the top floor! What's wrong with the professor? What's wrong with the media? Isn't everyone equal before the law?"
"Although the upstairs are a bit naive, I have to say that Mu Ran did the right thing this time. Those who claim to be called beasts and the Bricks criticized others for their poor character, but did even less character. Without evidence, they openly attacked others personally and suggested that the National Conservatory of Music expel him!"
"The upstairs said it is so good, support +1..."
“Support +2…”
...
“Support +1008611…”
...
For a moment, public opinion fell again to the side that was beneficial to Mu Ran. It has to be said that the melon-eating people on the Internet had very unstable positions, and they would fall to wherever the wind blows.
Sure enough, those who slander and abuse Mu Ran on the Internet have stopped. They really have no evidence and can only silently delete their previous remarks. It is not that they are afraid of Mu Ran’s studio, but that Mu Ran really wants to sue them, and based on what they say, they can definitely sue them. Although it is just a fine and a public apology, there is nothing big, but they can’t afford to lose that person!
Wei Mingde, including Wei Mingde, deleted his previous comments about Mu Ran and his new album and song for a while, but no one publicly apologized, and Mu Ran and the others did not expect these guys with thicker faces to really apologize, but they just showed their attitude.
The fans of Mu Ran were so happy that they ran to Wei Mingde and others' Weibo posts as if they had won a battle, and wanted him to apologize publicly...
On the other hand, Mu Ran, Xiao Yi and others are still shooting MVs in full swing.
...
Half a month passed in a flash. On this day, Mu Ran's new album's MV was finally completed, and the entire album also entered the final promotion and copying stage, waiting for its final release.
During this period, Mu Ran continued to release the second song of the new album, "NX", and like the first song, it achieved very good results. On the one hand, the quality and singing of the songs are indeed good enough. On the other hand, there are factors that black Mu Ran promote in disguise. They have always grasped the two issues that Mu Ran studio dared not announce the source of these two songs and the true identity of the creator, and questioned the legitimacy of Mu Ran's songs. However, Mu Ran and the studio have ignored it and did not respond, but just watched the group of people jump up and down quietly.
This also makes the public's expectations for Mu Ran's new album.
Finally, a month after Mu Ran announced that she would release her new album, Mu Ran and her studio once again posted news on Weibo, announcing that Mu Ran’s new album "The Original Dream" will officially start nationwide on Christmas Day on December 25th, and the first album poster was released.
"I finally waited for Mu Ran's new album, so look forward to it!"
"Why is it not released until Christmas? I can't wait. I don't know what songs there are besides the songs "Courage" and "NX"?"
"Why is the name of the new album called "The Original Dream"?"
"Yes, it's strange why Mu Ran gave such an album title. It feels like the style of the two songs released!"
"Highly ask Mu Ran to explain the meaning of the album title?"
...
Mu Ran’s studio did not respond as usual. At this time, Xiao Yi and the others were discussing something that happened yesterday in Mu Ran’s villa.
I saw that all the core members of the studio, including Gao Feng and Sister Li, were sitting in the living room of the villa. Everyone looked solemn. Even the little girl seemed to feel something. She sat obediently in Xiao Yi's arms, blinking her black eyes and looking at the uncles and aunts.
But Xiao Yi said with a relaxed look on his face: "Sister Juan, is the news confirmed?"
"Well, Xiao Zhang, tell me, you are responsible for this matter." Sister Juan nodded and signaled to Xiao Zhang, that is, Zhang Wei, who is responsible for the studio to contact the album recording and sales, to tell the specific situation.
Zhang Wei took a sip of water and said heavily: "Brother Yi, I started contacting the marketing department of Mercury Entertainment before Sister Ran's album was completed. Because our studio signed a contract with them, we borrowed their channels and they received a sales commission. However, what I had said before was that yesterday when I went to their company to start burning the album, they suddenly said that I had not contacted them before, and they also said that they are busy making albums for the people in their company and have no time to make albums for Sister Ran."
"So they are not going to fulfill their contract with us?" Xiao Yi asked.
"Although this is the case, it cannot be said that they did not fulfill the contract, because when they signed the contract, they stated in the contract that if we release an album for Sister Ran, we have to inform them of the plan and arrangement one month in advance, so that they can make arrangements, but now they do not admit that I have notified them before... Sister Ran, I really notified them in advance. That day, Sister Juan told us about your new album plan, I contacted them..."
Zhang Wei was a little anxious, after all, the problem lies with him now.
"Okay, no one doubts you, we all believe what you say, don't be nervous." Sister Juan comforted.
"Well, Xiao Zhang is not your fault, don't take it to your heart." Mu Ran also comforted her.
Zhang Wei's eyes were a little red when he heard Sister Juan and Mu Ran's words. He didn't expect Sister Juan and the others to believe in him so much, and did not blame him at all.
Of course, he didn't know that the reason why Sister Juan and the others believed him and did not blame him was because they had expected it in advance and had prepared a response plan.
When Zhang Wei was told by the Mercury company that he would not burn or sell the album yesterday, he almost collapsed. Now all the preparations for the new album are almost burned, but something happened here, and Mercury company also put the blame on himself! How should he explain to the studio?
He didn't know how he returned to the studio. After he came back, he told Sister Juan about the matter. Sister Juan just said that he knew, which made him even more uneasy. Even if Sister Juan scolded him or just beat her, it would be better than saying nothing.
Chapter completed!
