HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 466 [466] Qi Yuan never falls into the trap of self-proof; he always fights back directly!
"This Justin is a smart man, and also a very cunning one. He definitely knows that you and Britney are innocent. He doesn't care; all he wants is to climb to the top by stepping on you and Britney."

As a seasoned agent, Zhang Hao could see through the tricks of the trade at a glance.

There are many such examples in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Justin's move was quite clever.

Qi Yuan's identity is quite unique in the American music scene.

He is Chinese, and because of the major events that happened last year, Qi Yuan is doing very well at this year's Grammys.

Qi Yuan's first English album sold very well in the US market, which essentially means that she was competing with American singers for market share.

There are quite a few people who dislike Qi Yuan and want to defeat him; all they lack is a reason.

Once they find a reason, they can do what they did to Japan back then: make Qi Yuan disheartened in the American music scene and eventually return to China in disgrace.

If Qi Yuan were as unlucky as Sakamoto Kyu, it would be even better if he were on a plane that was going to crash.

From then on, another Asian singer who could compete with Western singers on the American music scene died, and the American music scene returned to its past state of completely dominating the Asian music scene.

Justin seized this opportunity, providing the American music scene and media with this excuse.

Qi Yuan is morally corrupt. He was a mistress who stole someone else's girlfriend. Even if this kind of personal relationship problem can't bring Qi Yuan down.

It's perfectly acceptable to slander Qi Yuan and tarnish her reputation in the United States.

That's exactly what they did.

On the American internet, there are quite a few people who insult Qi Yuan, and even more who insult Britney.

Don't assume that this mysterious power of parents only exists in China; American parents exist in the same way.

Britney Spears' innocent and sweet image has helped her attract a large number of student and teenage fans.

Now, the parents of these fans are furious, calling Britney a slut and a bad influence on young girls in America. They're practically calling for a boycott of Britney.

Seeing Qi Yuan deep in thought, Zhang Hao continued, "Warner is trying to suppress the buzz around you, but it's going to be hard to stop. Entertainment newspapers and magazines all over America are talking about you, Britney, and Justin."

Qi Yuan saw things very clearly. He said directly, "Suppress my ass! There are plenty of people in the US who want to crush me, but they don't dare to say it out loud. Now that they've seized the opportunity, they won't let things cool down easily. Explanations and clarifications aren't my style. We shouldn't fall into the trap of self-justification; let's just fight back directly."

Don't forget that there's a song called "Numb" on his second English album, a rock anthem that went viral worldwide by Linkin Park.

Is Justin Timberlake the only one who can make a music video to smear Britney Spears about cheating?

Why can't Qi Yuan make a music video to teach him a lesson? Besides, Qi Yuan isn't slandering him; he's filming what actually happened.

The original music video for "Numb" tells the story of an unpopular girl facing family and social problems throughout the day.

At school, she was criticized by her teachers and bullied by her classmates. At home, she was neglected by her mother. Struggling with self-harm and anger, she finally ran into a church to look for the band, but the church was empty except for the instruments.

This music video showcases the girl's loneliness and numbness.

Since someone has already started a war against him, Britney Spears can be cast as the female lead in the music video, and the story can be rewritten.

It's still a girl's story.

The girl got pregnant, but the man was unhappy and insisted on an abortion.

The girl agreed, thinking that after the abortion, their relationship could be as good as before.

However, she discovered that her husband was cheating on her with another woman.

The man turned the tables and told everyone that the girl had cheated on him, making him appear as a heartbroken, innocent young man.

The girl faced condemnation from society and those around her, and with a numb and aggrieved heart, she rushed into the church. If Britney doesn't want to act in this music video, that's fine; Qi Yuan could follow Justin's example and find a girl who looks like Britney.

Zhang Hao was stunned when he heard Qi Yuan's counterattack plan.

Damn! They were practically reciting Justin's ID number, and Qi Yuan was really ruthless.

Zhang Hao didn't doubt the authenticity of Qi Yuan's bombshell revelations. There are no secrets in the entertainment industry. Qi Yuan and Hathaway are so close, it's not surprising that Qi Yuan heard some gossip about the American entertainment industry from Hathaway.

Zhang Hao just wants to say that Justin picked the wrong target to try and extort Qi Yuan.

Don't you even know what kind of people who fought Qi Yuan to the death in China have become? Do you really think Qi Yuan is your ex-girlfriend? That you can easily manipulate her? Qi Yuan is a ruthless person who even dares to sue the media.

Qi Yuan contacted Britney by phone that same day.

On the night of the Grammys, the two exchanged contact information.

Britney spoke first, expressing her apology: "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I dragged you into this mess. Chris, I'm so sorry..."

She apologized for several minutes before it was Qi Yuan's turn to speak. Qi Yuan then directly invited her to participate in his music video.

Normally, it would be difficult to get Britney Spears, a global superstar, to appear in one's own music video if the two parties haven't collaborated on a song.

This situation is rather special.

Qi Yuan's involvement in the controversy is related to the Grammy Awards. Britney felt that she was dragging Qi Yuan down, so she agreed.

Qi Yuanming said that his music video was a veiled reference to Justin Timberlake.

In her previous life, Britney Spears remained silent for a long time after being slandered by Justin.

According to her own account in her autobiography, she was subjected to long-term attacks from public opinion, with everyone believing she was the unfaithful party and no one standing by her side.

In 03, she released a single called "Everytime," and there was a scene in the music video where she was giving birth in a hospital.

Lyrics: 'My vulnerability hurt you, this song is my apology.'

This music video told her true story, but nobody cared at the time. Years later, after Justin Bieber's career collapsed, people started digging into the meaning of this music video.

Given that Britney Spears was unable to speak out, and even if she did, no one would believe her, Qi Yuan was willing to respond to Justin with a music video, which she was certainly happy about. She now saw Justin's true colors—cold-blooded and selfish.

Qi Yuan didn't immediately tell Britney his inner script. He first asked Britney about her and Justin's story, and then revised the script based on the story Britney provided.

While Qi Yuan was revising the script and preparing to shoot the music video, Justin once again came out to respond to the recent hot topic of public opinion. He said sadly, "Please don't ask me these questions anymore. I've been exhausted by some things lately, and I really don't want to talk about it anymore."

Every sentence he uttered didn't mention Qi Yuan and Britney, yet every sentence he uttered was inseparable from Qi Yuan and Britney.

Justin stopped responding, and reporters and paparazzi started harassing Qi Yuan and Britney. Then they discovered that Qi Yuan and Britney had actually met up in private.

The reporters and paparazzi were having a blast! A news-making machine is a news-making machine, even better at creating news than Justin Timberlake.

"Chris, are you openly admitting that you interfered in Justin's relationship and stole his girlfriend?"

"Britney, why did you cheat on me? Was Justin not good enough to you? Why did you hurt an innocent boy?"

"Chris, please answer the question: what exactly is your relationship now?"

These people wished they could shove the microphones into Qi Yuan and Britney's mouths.

Qi Yuan kept these people in suspense for a while, and finally gave them an answer that made them curse wildly.
