I have to teach the world a lesson.

Chapter 122 Have I Been Brainwashed? (first update)
Zhang Sheng hung up the phone.

The noon sun shone on his face.

He sat on a chair in a temporary office in [Starlight Future], overlooking the busy crowd below.

He didn't chat with Zhang Panpan directly, but he also knew what Zhang Panpan looked like when chatting with Lin Xia.

Probably gnashing of teeth, or...

Can't wait to kill yourself?

A smile inevitably appeared on Zhang Sheng's face. While he found it interesting, he also felt somewhat regretful.

Zhang Panpan probably didn't know that that day, he had told her that among the people he knew, she was ranked among the top five hundred...

That is not a belittle, but a compliment from the heart.

pity……

She doesn't understand.

But it doesn't matter to Zhang Sheng.

Discuss the mind, the structure, the upper limit of the future...

In Zhang Sheng's heart, Zhang Panpan is no longer in the top 5.

Barely able to rank more than 1000, it is nothing more than the appearance, family, and voice that were carried at birth...

That's it.

However, these external things are not absolute in this magnificent era.

"No. 7, and soon to be sixth!"

in a temporary office.

Du Hui stared nervously at the ranking list on the Internet, as if his soul had been taken away.

It's the beginning of November now, and the weather is no longer as hot as it was in October. Sitting in the temporary office on the twelfth floor, the gust of wind blows, and it's even a bit chilly.

But Du Hui was panting with sweat profusely, without even blinking.

Every increase in clicks and a decrease in the number of views in each time period affected Du Hui's heart, making him both hopeful and terrified.

Zhang Sheng doesn't need to look at the data, but just looking at Du Hui's face, he knows how the overall sales of the album "In the Rain" is!
"Our album, under the huge heat of [Sparkling Girl], a hole was torn!"

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Du Hui panted even more heavily.

The assistant kindly delivered the dinner, but Du Hui didn't eat a bite, his eyes were bloodshot, and his mood was sometimes high and sometimes lonely.

"Brother Sheng... K this..."

The assistant's name is Shen Xiaoxi, a graduate of Yan Petrochemical. After Du Hui signed [NC Studio], Shen Xiaoxi was sent by Chen Mengting to be his temporary life assistant.

The current job is also quite simple, which is to help him buy breakfast, prepare some clothes for changing, and do things like babysitting.

Shen Xiaoxi looked at Du Hui staring at the computer screen in a daze since noon today. Not only did he not eat lunch, but even after he didn't eat dinner, his face inevitably became a little worried.

"He has been drifting in Yanjing for so many years... he has suffered too much wind and frost, and now he has finally found a chance to stand out. He naturally attaches great importance to it. After a few days, when the data stabilizes, his emotions will also stabilize. Of course...if you want him to recover sooner, you can just slap him." Zhang Sheng didn't find it strange when he saw Du Hui's appearance, but said with a smile.

"Forehead……"

Shen Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment, looked at her hands, then at Du Hui, and was instantly taken aback by her thoughts

She almost believed in Zhang Sheng's evil.

"You can stay with him here. It's about time. Director Ke is almost done with his work."

"it is good."

[Starlight Future] The personnel has changed a lot, and correspondingly, there are many vacant offices.

Xu Shengnan fought for a little bit, and won half of the position on the [-]th floor of the Starlight Building.

This half of the position is divided into two project teams, the project team of the movie "That Summer" and the project team of the album music of "In the Rain".

Zhang Sheng came out of the office and saw the staff coming and going...

Among these staff members are the data analysis department of "In the Rain", the external promotion and marketing department, and the brand docking department...

Every one of these people stayed behind during the great change in [Starlight Future].

Zhang Sheng took a brief glance and knew that these people were the core team of [Starlight Future], and they were all elites who were screened and eliminated layer by layer.

The album "In the Rain" was able to reach the top ten of the major new music charts in a lightning-fast manner. Apart from the fact that its own musical attributes can resonate with some people, these people are absolutely indispensable.

..........................................

After the millennium, Huaxia is actually changing with each passing day.

Rising high-rise buildings, gradually improving technology, medical care, overseas trade, more and more cars, more and more people...

Under the torrent of the times...

There are many people who are dragged forward.

On the street, pedestrians can be seen everywhere, their footsteps are in a hurry, their expressions are in a hurry, they are overwhelmed by the turbulent torrent of the times, but they can't tell...

They're struggling, they're exhausted, they're in pain, they're depressed...

From a literary point of view, music is a kind of sustenance on the soul, which can make some people find resonance.

Let's not be literary...

They seem to like listening to songs that, in desperation, hysterically high-pitched, let it all out.

"In the Rain" was born under such a big environment.

"I don't know how long I can last, but, I believe, I will succeed one day!"

After Ke Zhanchi was busy with the casting materials for "That Summer", he couldn't help but glanced at the MV of "In the Rain".

The MV part is an excerpt from "Those Years After Graduation", but it was filmed from Du Hui's perspective.

There is a section of Du Hui's personal confession. The confession is not considered powerful, and even reveals fatigue and a forced smile.

Even Ke Zhanchi, who is across the screen, can feel it.

A confession opened the prelude to the MV, and after the prelude, there was a dark bridge.

It was Yanjing at four o'clock in the morning.

Du Hui sang ballads that no one cares about, over and over again...

Pedestrians are in a hurry, and occasionally someone stops, but they just stop and take a look before leaving.

Ke Zhanchi stared at Du Hui's face.

There was no disappointment on Du Hui's face, only a sense of loneliness and the numbness he had long been accustomed to. Under the light, he seemed to be a fragmented body.

That is day after day, year after year without hopeful change.

Although he followed the filming, Ke Zhanchi still nodded after staring at the MV, and he felt a little bit emotionally.

He likes the song "In the Rain" very much.

When he heard the demo of this song for the first time, he felt a kind of spiritual resonance.

He also drifted north, was deceived, oppressed, and betrayed...

The dream was out of reach. I once wanted to give up and change careers. I felt that I couldn't support it several times.

The kind of unforgettable pain, probably only those who have really experienced it can understand!

When he saw the MV again and heard the song "In the Rain", he was still very moved...

The MV continued to play. From the middle, he didn't participate in it anymore, and it was all filmed by some students.

Very surprised……

It is also hard to believe that these are not Yanying's majors, and a few college students who have only trained with me for less than a week can continue the feeling at the beginning of the MV.

Du Hui was pulled to the side of the electric car to sing...

The bustling crowd is full of noisy shouts, and he is still singing songs that no one cares about...

Then, there were bursts of questioning voices in the crowd, questioning what bird song he was singing, questioning why the store invited such a living treasure...

Then, amidst waves of questioning and a few mutterings from the dealer boss, Du Hui finally sang some vulgar, street ballads...

Like a singing, extremely low-level, even a little sad little person.

In the close-up in front of the camera, Du Hui was very painful, without any trace of acting.

Ke Zhanchi understood that it was Du Hui's instinctive emotion.

To live!

In order to survive, many times, it is normal to bow your head.

Then, the second half of the MV is night.

He moved away with the electric car, and his guitar was accidentally knocked to the ground while moving.

He looked down at the guitar, silently.

The melody gradually faded.

Then the screen slowly went dark.

It was noisy again in the vague darkness.

There is a lot of people...

Mixed with yelling, mixed with a series of advertising sounds from the horn of the battery car.

then……

Gradually subsided.

After Ke Zhanchi watched the MV, he was immersed in the emotions brought by the MV, and was silent for a long time.

Then...

He closed his eyes.

When he recovered from the immersed emotions, he seemed to think of something, and he was taken aback suddenly, as if something was wrong.

After that, I stared at the MV carefully and watched it again.

I didn't find any problems. It seems that the emotional rendering is quite good.

When he slowed down, he listened carefully to some noises around the MV.

At last……

The more he listened, the more he didn't feel right, and then he took a serious look at the MV again.

He found……

In the MV, although the focus of shooting is Ah K, the camera often inexplicably shows a close-up of the [Bosch] battery.

Even, after watching the MV twice, in addition to sympathizing with "Ah K" for his difficulty, you will even inexplicably echo the slogan of [Bosch] battery in your mind.

[Buy a battery, choose Bosch!Buy a battery, choose Bosch!For high-quality batteries, choose Bosch! 】

【Bosch battery, one bottle is better than one bottle! 】

【We are all using Bosch batteries! 】

Ke Zhanchi was shocked!
At this moment, he heard a knock on the door.

He shook his head violently, throwing some brainwashing voices out of his mind.

"Come in!"

"Director Ke, are you done?"

"Busy working."

After Ke Zhanchi watched Zhang Sheng come in, he couldn't help looking at Zhang Sheng with a complicated expression on his face: "Mr. Zhang, I hope you can tell me the truth!"

"Director Ke, what truth do you want to know?"

"Is this MV, in essence, an advertisement for a battery! The brainwashing sounds in the background keep looping, and I'm so fucking brainwashed to buy Bosch batteries!"
