Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 434 Is this a case of using excessive praise to kill someone?

"After a month of hard work, 'A Chinese Odyssey' has finally wrapped up filming! Thank you to all the staff for their hard work, and thank you to the fans for their patience. I believe this movie will definitely live up to everyone's expectations! #PerfectEnding#"

Zhou Yang, who has been out of the public eye for a long time, released a message that caused his fans to ecstatic.

"Zhou Yang, you've been gone for over a month! We all miss you so much!"

"Every film Zhou Yang produces is a masterpiece; I definitely have to support his new movie!"

"Zhou Yang has never made a bad film before, so he shouldn't disappoint us this time either!"

"With Stephen Chow and Da Shu also involved, this movie is sure to become a masterpiece of comedy!"

"Haha, without a doubt, this will be one of the best comedies in the country!"

Fans are full of confidence in the collaboration between Stephen Chow, the king of comedy, and Zhou Yang, and they believe that "A Chinese Odyssey" will once again lead the way to the pinnacle of comedy films.

Seeing the fans' comments, Zhou Yang's lips twitched slightly. If "A Chinese Odyssey" really ended in tragedy, he didn't know if these fans would still be able to laugh.

The internet is abuzz once again, with various marketing accounts launching a fierce battle for attention. Zhou Yang's return has unleashed a marketing frenzy.

"#Entertainment Gossip: Zhou Yang's new film 'A Chinese Odyssey' has wrapped filming, and it's sure to revolutionize the comedy genre!#"

"#QuanErSao: The passing of the torch between two generations of comedians ushers in a new era of comedy!"

"#Rumor: Zhou Yang teams up with Stephen Chow for the most exciting film of the Spring Festival!"

#PaparazziDaily: Zhou Yang's new film wraps up filming, who will win the throne of comedy supremacy?

"Quan Er Gou: Filming for 'A Chinese Odyssey' has wrapped up, and the comedy storm is unstoppable, poised to sweep across Asia!"

These media outlets are exaggerating and vying to praise the upcoming film "A Chinese Odyssey," as if they're afraid Zhou Yang's fans won't see it.

However, these exaggerated claims have aroused resentment among some netizens, who have begun to boycott them.

"Wow! This trashy movie has barely finished filming and they're already hiring online trolls to hype it up. I wonder how much they've sacrificed. But if it turns out to be a flop, I'll feel embarrassed for Zhou Yang!"

"How much money did Zhou Yang spend hiring these marketing accounts to promote him? This is already the tenth such account he's seen..."

"Haha, is this directed by Stephen Chow? Looks like it's going to be a terrible movie!"

"If moviegoers who were fooled by 'CJ7' and 'King of Comedy 2' are fooled by Stephen Chow's films again, it would be a huge injustice!"

"They're just exploiting our nostalgia again. Is this really fun?!"

Zhou Yang did not feel uncomfortable after seeing the comments from netizens; on the contrary, he understood their thoughts very well.

Because Stephen Chow's directorial works are indeed not as eye-catching as the movies he starred in back then, and they are even quite controversial.

Therefore, only after the movie is actually released can everyone's evaluation and expectations be verified.

After completing the filming of "A Chinese Odyssey", Zhou Yang did not rest, but immediately threw himself into the filming of "Captain Earth" and "Thor", where he made wonderful cameo appearances.

These two films are an indispensable part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and there is no room for error.

After his cameo appearance, Zhou Yang immediately returned to the company and devoted himself to the post-production editing of "A Chinese Odyssey." Everything proceeded smoothly and efficiently.

Just as all the post-production work was about to be completed, Chen Tianzhen suddenly sent Zhou Yang some unsettling news.

"Zhou Yang, something's happened! Brother Moon, who's in charge of producing the theme song, got into a car accident. We need to find a suitable replacement to produce the theme song!"

“Don’t worry, Naïve, we can find other singers,” Zhou Yang said calmly.

The sudden car accident, though unexpected, was not insurmountable. "I've already started looking," Chen Tianzhen shook his head and frowned. "But other production companies, knowing that our movie is about to be released and they urgently need the theme song, have all started raising their prices, trying to take advantage of us."

Price increase? Zhou Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly. What's the big deal if money can solve everything?

“No problem, we’ll give them as much as they want,” Zhou Yang said generously.

"Are you sure? They're offering twenty times more than Brother Moon!"

Ha ha…

Zhou Yang almost choked on his water; this was blatant taking advantage of someone in distress!
"Let them go! I'll handle the theme song myself!"

The price is outrageously high, it's practically astronomical!
Although Zhou Yang is financially well-off, he is not easily deceived and would never be foolish enough to be taken advantage of.

"You? Do you have the ability?" When Zhou Yang suggested doing it himself, Chen Tianzhen immediately looked at him suspiciously, her face full of doubt and disbelief.

Because she had never heard Zhou Yang mention that he knew music production, let alone the production process of the theme song, which requires the entire process of arranging, writing lyrics, and singing. Apart from singer-songwriters, it is extremely difficult for one person to complete it alone.

"Haha, if I can't do it, who can?" Zhou Yang said with a smile, full of confidence.

"Sister Tianzhen, help me contact the top recording studio in Shanghai. I want to finish the theme song today," Zhou Yang requested.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Chen Tianzhen didn't dare to delay and immediately went to handle it.

An hour later, Chen Tianzhen brought Zhou Yang to the most prestigious recording studio in Shanghai, which was Wang Feng's "Half of the Country" studio.

Led by staff, the two entered the recording studio, where the staff were already seated, wearing headphones and preparing for the recording.

Zhou Yang followed their gaze and saw a middle-aged singer wearing a leather jacket and pants recording a song in the recording studio.

This middle-aged singer is very familiar to Zhou Yang; he is Wang Feng, a singer who enjoys the reputation of being "half of the Chinese music scene".

The timing is perfect; this is the best time!
Zhou Yang smiled slightly, casually picked up the earphones on the table and put them on. The next moment, familiar singing entered his ears.

"But I was so happy back then, even though I only had a broken wooden guitar!"

"On the street, under the bridge, in the fields."

"Singing those songs that no one cares about!"

Zhou Yang nodded slightly. His singing was acceptable, unlike what the online comments said; there was almost no cracking in his voice. He closed his eyes tightly, ready to listen attentively.

"What if one day I'm old and have no one to rely on?!"

"Please leave me in that time!"

"If one day! I quietly... cough cough..."

A piercing, cracking sound shattered the silence.

Zhou Yang suddenly opened his eyes and saw Wang Feng uncomfortably clutching his throat in the recording studio.

At the same time, a staff member quickly brought a cup of throat-soothing tea into the recording studio and handed it to Wang Feng.

A moment later, Wang Feng walked out of the recording studio, and Zhou Yang immediately stood up and greeted him.

"Teacher Wang Feng, it's a pleasure to meet you. Seeing you in person is better than hearing about you a hundred times. Your singing voice is truly exceptional."

Zhou Yang said politely.
