Chapter 456: 180 Regretting not doing it sooner, Mysterious Composition_1

Netizens mostly came for the excitement, and the vast majority of them did not recognize Dean Jian.

But there were some professionals in the comments section providing explanations, along with striking and vivid contrasts.

The status of the dean of Jiangjing Music Academy might not be known to those who don’t study art or mingle in this area, but when you compare him with the president of Jiangjing University, it becomes crystal clear to everyone.

Yan Lu had a 3S+ level drama waiting to be aired, and beyond that, three songs that had broken through the music industry in China this year.

No one could have imagined that the obscure arranger would be someone like Jian Zhongyou, who was detached from the entertainment circle. Jian Zhongyou could be called a master, an artist who could perform at national events.

Perhaps many netizens still couldn’t imagine Dean Jian’s status in the world of national music.

But An Qi and his entourage, who had been to the music academy for lectures, were well aware. An Qi’s agent felt like he was going insane, his hands trembling, “…The arranger for Yan Lu is him? From the very first song? Why has there never been any hype on Yan Lu’s side?”

This didn’t make sense.

An Qi went to Jiangjing University for a single lecture and got through to so many marketing accounts. Yan Lu’s arranger is Jian Zhongyou, and Wang Xin doesn’t pay for internet trolls and marketing accounts for promotion?

He was the same as most netizens.

If the arranger is Jian Zhongyou, then who else could even be mentioned in the same breath as him for songwriting and composing? An Qi’s agent clicked on Dean Jian’s following list.

The short video app was suitable for the elderly, so Dean Jian was often active on the video app. This was his first time registering on Weibo, and his account was only following three people.

Yan Lu, the official Weibo of Jiangjing Music Academy, and as An Qi looked at the last one—

An account with a system-generated grey avatar and the name “Pick”.

The Weibo account was obviously newly registered, with no posts, but already had a hundred thousand followers.

Beside him, An Qi also stood up incredulously, “The arranger is Dean Jian…”

Then everything made sense.

“Right, he also follows Yan Lu,” An Qi’s agent said, somewhat dazed, “No wonder, no wonder Wang Xin would rather Yan Lu be suppressed than issue a clarifying Weibo post, even letting Yan Lu give up ‘Perfect Day’…”

This all-in gamble had resulted in a total loss for their side, as the millions invested earlier had completely turned into traffic for Yan Lu.

That was… the top artist in national music, a height in art they in the entertainment industry could never reach in their entire lifetimes.

Thinking about the earlier marketing An Qi had done because of his visit to Jiangjing Music Academy, the agent couldn’t help but glance at Man Xi beside him. Man Xi was a first-tier actress created by Time Entertainment, and at the beginning, he had chosen her for An Qi over Yan Lu because of her popularity.

Now, however, the agent was beginning to regret it.

If they hadn’t backstabbed Yan Lu, would this popularity also include a part for An Qi? Would they perhaps also have had the chance to have Dean Jian arrange music for An Qi…?

Once some thoughts appeared, they couldn’t be contained, and even Man Xi standing to the side could sense this.

Xiangcheng.

After Sister Xin finished a phone call with Teacher Mei Yi and confirmed the filming location and celebrity guests with the directors of “Come Here Friend”.

“With Teacher Mei Yi coming, you won’t have much pressure,” Sister Xin said, coming back from the yard with her phone in her hand, “Will you be filming here? The show crew might give you a script.”

“A script?” Bai Lian heard for the first time that even variety shows required scripts and she looked up, surprised.

Sister Xin was also helpless, “There’s only Teacher Mei Yi among the celebrity guests, the other groups probably have several friends from within the circle. Yan Lu’s everyday life is dull, while other artists watch shows, have numerous friends, talk about life. She spends every day reading books and studying acting with her teacher; I’m afraid she’ll invite Teacher Mei Yi over, and they’ll spend a couple of days reading books. Can you imagine the audience watching them read for two hours?”

As she spoke, Sister Xin looked toward Bai Lian. Since she met Bai Lian, Yan Lu had been reading books more diligently than the average high school senior.

In the “Great Yong” drama’s promotional clips, most of the snippets of Yan Lu were of her reading books or scripts and observing her seniors.

“Take them to visit Wallow Street.” Bai Lian suggested.

However, as a phenomenally popular tourism street, it was always crowded and might not be suitable for long-term shooting.

Bai Lian tilted her head, looking at Yan Lu, as her fingertips tapped on the table, slowly starting to think.

Perhaps because she felt guilty about not keeping a closer eye on Zhang Shize, Bai Lian had been feeling remorseful about his year in prison and became even more caring towards Yan Lu and Zhang’s mother.

Sister Xin’s phone rang again.

It was the CEO of Time Entertainment. As soon as she picked up the call, the delightful voice on the other end rang out, “Sister Xin, look at you, not letting us know sooner that the arranger is Dean Jian…”
