After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God - Chapter 319
Chapter 319: The Whole Internet Was Shocked!
Translator: _Min_
The entire venue fell silent once more.
Xu Jingshan, just having caught his breath, erupted in anger again, “And who might that be?”
Manager Luo, dazed, replied, “President Xu, it’s Su Yang… Su Yang!”
A tall and upright figure ascended the stage from the side staircase, removing his mask in the center.
The top star of Great Xia’s music scene.
Su Yang.
The fans were so stunned they couldn’t even make a sound.
Deliberately avoiding eye contact with Si Fuqing, Su Yang faced the audience and spoke calmly, “I enjoyed today’s performances, but I am very dissatisfied with the outcome, extremely dissatisfied. ”
He then turned to Xie Yu and the others, smiling lightly, “It just so happens my studio is recruiting. I came up to ask if you’re interested in forming a new boy group and joining my studio.”
The fans finally regained their composure.
[I heard someone helped him back then. He’s passing on the kindness, so warm-hearted.]
“Uncle Nine, someone beat you to it,” Yu Tang exclaimed anxiously, “Hurry up!
Don’t let Qingqing be taken away by someone else.”
Feng San’s lips twitched, “Miss Yu Tang, Uncle Nine is already on his way as fast as possible. Give him a moment to breathe.”
“Who could it be?” Yu Tang huffed discontentedly, “Can they make a bigger scene than Su God?”
Yu Xiheng glanced at her, his voice calm, “Glenn.”
Yu Tang was momentarily stunned.
Before she could react, another voice, slightly breathless, rang out.
“Mr-Mr. Xie Yu, would you be interested in joining Glenn?”
All eyes turned towards the entrance of the hall.
The producer was taken aback, nudging the director, “Quick, get the camera on him.”
A blond man in his thirties, youthful in appearance, caught his breath before walking towards the stage.
“Excuse the interruption,” the blond man said, presenting a business card to Xie Yu, “I’m Roz Rieg, here to invite you to join Glenn.”
He then addressed Xu Xiyun, “And Mr. Xu, I will allocate resources for you and the others. Whether you want to act or sing, it’s all possible.”
Roz Rieg.
A name that resonated more than Mel Blaine’s.
Almost the instant the camera zoomed in on him, the audience erupted.
[Damn! Roz!]
[He directed a film series, all three movies in the top ten global box office, a director on par with Qu Lingyun! To see him here!] [Wait, did I hear that right, inviting Xie Yu to where???]
[Roz personally inviting? I must be on the wrong channel.]
Before Xie Yu could respond, Su Yang spoke first, “You’ll have better prospects with Glenn.”
After pondering briefly, Xie Yu agreed, “Alright, I’ll go with you.”
“I won’t join Glenn,” Xu Xiyun said with a smile, “I still prefer singing and dancing. I’ll follow Su God.”
The other trainees nodded in agreement.
“Good, that’s settled,” Roz sighed in relief, muttering to himself, “I’m glad someone decided to come, or my life would’ve been on the line.”
When he received the call from Yu Xiheng, he was in a neighboring city.
He thought he couldn’t make it in time, but then a private jet was immediately deployed, getting him there in just fifteen minutes.
He had never seen such a plane or flying method.
Like piloting a fighter jet, produced where god-knows where, the plane zoomed off immediately.
Upon landing, he experienced a thrilling car ride.
The speed was exhilarating, but it nearly cost him his life.
Others didn’t hear this, but Xie Yu, with his keen hearing, caught every word.
He glanced at Si Fuqing, seeing her also surprised.
Who else could have the clout to invite Roz?
Xie Yanqiu could, but not this quickly.
Xie Yu’s gaze swept the audience.
On the other side, Qu Lingyun held back Gu Wen Zhu who was about to stand up, “Teacher, you don’t need to go up there. Roz is here. You’re a designer, not comparable to a director like him.”
Gu Wenzhu was even more infuriated, “Get lost! Why don’t you go up there?”
“KOZ’S next moue IS casting. Getting a role there means becoming an international star. It’s definitely better than following me.”
Despite listening, Gu Wenzhu’s anger didn’t subside.
He always loathed such underhanded dealings.
[This is jokes, if you don’t want Xie Yu, people do. Glenn, have you heard?]
[The investors must be furious, thinking they could subtly manipulate the votes or woo Xie Yu. Now their schemes are exposed, and Xie Yu is joining
Glenn.]
[Brother Xie joining Glenn is a milestone for domestic entertainment circle. Can’t wait to see the naysayers’ reactions. The more they rant, the happier I am.]
Lu Yan was nearly jumping with frustration.
He couldn’t believe it.
Not only Mel but also a representative from Glenn, and none other than the renowned director Roz!
Why is Xie Yu so lucky to be invited to Glenn?
Xu Xiyun, refusing such an opportunity, seemed ungrateful.
Lu Yan clenched his fists, glaring at Xie Yu, veins throbbing on his forehead.
He knew he had completely lost this time.
Once Xie Yu joined Glenn, the Lu family couldn’t interfere.
“Then follow me,” Su Yang extended his hand, patting Ye Qingyou’s shoulder, “You come along too.”
Lu Yan could only watch as Su Yang bypassed him, approaching the other clean-slated trainees without sparing him a glance.
Tonight’s debut night had turned Lu Yan and the two trainees pushed by investors into a complete joke.
Xu Jingshan, unfamiliar with the film industry, had heard of Roz Rieg.
An international director!
Even with his confidence, Xu Jingshan knew he couldn’t compete on an international level.
He realized the situation was irreversible.
A Glenn director personally signing talents and investing resources – no agency would refuse that.
Lin Qingyan was even more embarrassed, feeling a burning sensation on her face.
She had just finished criticizing Si Fuqing for ruining the trainees’ futures, and then Su Yang and Roz appeared, as if slapping her in the face.
Lin Qingyan inhaled deeply, wishing to end this night quickly.
But then Si Fuqing turned, her fox-like eyes curving into a smile, “You said the vote count was legitimate, right?”
Lin Qingyan felt a bad premonition, pursing her lips, “Of course, so many people are watching.”
“Alright,” Si Fuqing said nonchalantly, “Then take another look, and see if you can still say that.”
Lin Qingyan was stunned. Before she could react, the audience gasped.
She faintly heard fans shouting “the real vote count” and her expression changed.
Lin Qingyan turned around.
The screen still displayed the trainees’ names and votes, but the numbers were completely different. Non Xie Yu
No.2 Xu Xiyun
No.3 Ye Qingyou 919,283,324
No.4 Shi Yu
Lu Yan dropped to sixth place.
[I thought they had some conscience not to tamper with Xie Yu’s votes, but they suppressed so many!]
[Xie Yu is truly strong. Even with suppressed votes, he’s still on top. No wonder
Roz came personally.]
[Shi Yu in fourth place, amazing!]
[Is no one curious how the vote count suddenly became accurate?]
[My guess, based on years of movie watching, is that some savvy fan hacked into the system, couldn’t stand the manipulation.]
[Well done!]
[Lin Qingyan is truly despicable, probably cozying up to investors. How is she fit to be a mentor?]
[Brothers, today was exhilarating! This is a true comeback, a turnaround against all odds! Si Fuqing is awesome!]
The fans knew without Si Fuqing’s intervention, they would have had to accept the manipulated rankings.
With the issue resolved, fans were overjoyed, hugging each other and cheering.
Backstage, Xu Jingshan was about to explode, “Can’t you control the backstage votes? Am I funding incompetents?!”
The programmer stuttered, “President Xu, I don’t know what happened. The computer froze suddenly, and I couldn’t move the mouse. After rebooting, the real vote count appeared.”
It was too quick for them to react, the front-end vote count had already changed.
It was too late to alter it again.
Xu Jingshan’s face darkened, “Good, very good!”
No one had ever humiliated him like this, ruining his invested project.
“Si Fuqing, huh? I don’t need her anymore, get rid of her,” Xu Jingshan ordered coldly, “She’s just an idol, its not worth the trouble.”
She wasn’t an actress or a singer, had no mainstream awards, and her beauty would soon be forgotten.
In a few years, no one would remember how she died..
