Chapter 719: s.h.i.+ Jin, Come Out and Apologize!
“s.h.i.+ Jin, come out and apologize!”
At this moment, Zeng Guangzhi and the official Weibo of “Ask the Devil” appeared. Taking advantage of the popularity, they invited in a high-profile manner, “Welcome the high-quality artistes Fan Yueqi and Lu Feng to our production team to act in “Ask the Devil!”
When this Weibo post was released, it pushed this matter to the peak. Everyone was shocked!
They had not expected them to suddenly appear and invite the two main leads.
“Is the official account of Ask the Devil really inviting them like this?”
“Ask the Devil is my favorite original novel. I think it’s good to invite Fan Yueqi and Lu Feng now! Although their images are a little different from the original novel, their character is no different.”
“I also like the strong cooperation between such a good production team and high-quality artistes!”
“What a pity. Actually, s.h.i.+ Jin’s looks are very suitable for a big IP like ‘Ask the Evil’, but her character is destined to be unrelated to these big IPs.”
“Forget it. Even if nothing happens to s.h.i.+ Jin, a first-rate romance like ‘Ask the Devil’ is not something she can manage! Anyway, I don’t agree!”
With the hired commenters and haters working together, this golden age quickly allowed Zeng Guangzhi and “Ask the Devil” to obtain the popularity they wanted.

s.h.i.+ Jin casually scrolled through the content on Weibo, her heart completely calm. However, through this content, she could be completely certain that Zeng Guangzhi’s hookup with Fan Yueqi and Lu Feng had long been planned.
They said things gloriously, but they already had many underhanded dealings.
As she was swiping, she received a WeChat message.
She opened it. It was from Fu Xiuyuan.
“Hasn’t Yao Jiahong cleared your name yet?”
s.h.i.+ Jin could already sense Fu Xiuyuan’s anger.
She typed, “Soon. If I don’t let Fan Yueqi and Lu Feng’s tails be revealed, how can I slap their faces?”
“Okay, I’ll come and pick you up later.”
Fu Xiuyuan knew that she had always had her own decisions, so he only needed to be by her side at such a time.
“Alright, I’ll wait for you.”
Yao Jiahong’s WeChat also came in. “s.h.i.+ Jin, I’ve already issued a clarification.”
“OK.”
s.h.i.+ Jin opened Weibo again.
The content of the official clarification was very simple. “This piece of music was played by the mother and son xun. It was originally played by s.h.i.+ Jin and Ji Hanxue, and the copyright belongs to the two of them. Director Ji used a part in the ‘Abyss’, and s.h.i.+ Jin used a part in the ‘Phoenix Tree’. It’s only a linkage and doesn’t const.i.tute any plagiarism. I hope everyone can be clear headed.”
The content of the video attached to this Weibo was a scene of s.h.i.+ Jin and Ji Hanxue playing together a long time ago. It could be seen that the background at that time should be the production team during the filming of “The Abyss”.
Furthermore, when “Abyss” was released, the t.i.tle of the music director at the end of the movie was clearly written with s.h.i.+ Jin’s name. Anyone who had seen the movie back then could testify.
Once the video was released, it was directly pushed to the top of the trending searches, followed by a huge explosion.
s.h.i.+ Jin’s fans were already very angry because they had been beaten up by these inexplicable people. When they saw the clarification, they immediately clicked on it.
The other pa.s.sersby were also very curious about the truth. They all clicked on it to see the truth.
When they saw the words s.h.i.+ Jin and the interaction between s.h.i.+ Jin and Ji Hanxue on the ending credits of “Abyss”, everyone understood that s.h.i.+ Jin had really not plagiarized anything.
The fan heaved a sigh of relief. “I knew it. How could there be a problem with our s.h.i.+ Jin? How many songs has she written in the past and how many alb.u.ms has she released? Even if she randomly found a piece of music to use, it would be endless. Is there a need to use someone else’s?”
“That’s right. Not only are the haters heartless, but they’re also blind! As long as they look for the end of the movie ‘Abyss’ and take a good look, they’ll know what’s going on. However, no one is willing to do this. They just close their eyes and comment awkwardly!”
“This environment is too terrifying. These people must have done it on purpose. They can’t bear to see s.h.i.+ Jin being popular…”
“s.h.i.+ Jin actually knows Director Ji!!! I’m overjoyed!!! I love Director Ji’s movies the most!”
“So s.h.i.+ Jin’s talent is really recognized, right? Her cooperation with Director Ji is so pleasant. I want to see who still dares to slander her and say that she is an artiste that no production team wants!”
“In that case, Lu Feng and Fan Yueqi must be crazy. They came out of nowhere!”
“How ridiculous. What strength do these two have? They didn’t even get to the bottom of the matter before coming out to cause a ruckus.”

At this moment, Lu Feng and Fan Yueqi were eating with Zeng Guangzhi.
The three of them clinked their gla.s.ses. “Happy cooperation.”
After finis.h.i.+ng a gla.s.s of wine, Zeng Guangzhi smiled and said, “Yueqi, Lu Feng, we’ll be relying on you two for this movie! The male and female leads have very heavy scenes. You’ll have to work hard next.”
“It’s our duty,” Lu Feng said with a smile.
He had wanted a good work for a long time.
Although he was also the male lead in the production team of “Phoenix Tree”, that male lead was much less important than the male lead of “Ask the Devil”.
One was the screenwriter’s work of the nameless director, and the other was the famous big IP. Comparing the two, everyone knew how to make a choice.
“That’s right. We’re all doing our jobs. It’s only right to work hard,” Fan Yueqi said.
To her, making this choice was an even simpler matter. She could stay with Liang Han and be a supporting role for the unskilled s.h.i.+ Jin. While over here, she would be the female lead of a big IP.
She was even more eager than Lu Feng to show her ability.
“Let’s start working tomorrow. Thank you for bringing popularity to our production team today.”
A movie was not afraid of rotting, but it was afraid that no one would pay attention to it.
Although it was already a big IP, they still needed popularity.
As the three of them were talking, a message popped up on Lu Feng’s phone.
He immediately clicked on Weibo and scanned it. Then, he subconsciously licked his dry lips.
“What’s wrong?” Fan Yueqi could tell that something was wrong.
“See for yourself.” His voice was hoa.r.s.e and unpleasant.
Fan Yueqi took it and scanned it. She understood. Her exquisite makeup did not hide her sudden change in expression.
“How could this be?”
There was also news from Zeng Guangzhi.
Clearly, they had all seen the same message—s.h.i.+ Jin’s clarification Weibo.
The three of them fell into a strange silence.
The originally happy atmosphere disappeared.
The crew of “Ask the Devil” and Zeng Guangzhi himself had already been mocked heavily, while Fan Yueqi and Lu Feng had been mocked all the way to their ancestors.
They naturally did not scold them for choosing to cut ties, but for being stupid. They scolded them for being willing to do anything for popularity.
