Becoming a great entertainer started with being cyberbullied.

Xu Wenhua is Wei's top director.

But recently, he has been having a very bad time.

I suffered from insomnia, anxiety, and hair loss for seven consecutive days... I became increasingly irritable, even wanting to kick dogs on the street.

And the reason that caused Xu Wenhua so much pain—

"Are the people employed in the Weissler composition department even human? Huh? Are they even human? Bah! They're all gluttons! Manure-producing machines! Human manure-producing machines that waste food!"

In the office, everyone was silent, except for the famous director who was verbally abusing his colleagues from different departments without using any profanity.

We just received a new song from Webster's composition department.

After listening for one minute, Director Xu flew into a rage, which is why he is like this now.

"The last one was somewhat similar, but this one is terrible! Did these idiots write this song with their feet?? With this level of skill, they still have the nerve to compare themselves to Tianyin? What are they even comparing themselves to! They're hopeless!"

The assistant director, ignoring the spittle that Director Xu was spewing, advised, "Director Xu, calm down. How about we go through the pieces that were recently sent over from the beginning again?"

"We really can't postpone this time any longer, otherwise it will affect this year's awards. We can't let a small thing cause a big loss."

The others quickly chimed in, “Right, right, right! If we don’t choose the right theme song, we might miss out on a ‘Best Original Score’ award at worst, but Director Xu, aren’t our goals the screenwriting and directing awards?”

Director Xu is known in the industry for being a perfectionist, and there are both advantages and disadvantages to working with such a great director.

The advantage is that working with such a big director makes it easier to win awards; while others reap the rewards, they only get the scraps.

The downside is... that's how it is now.

When he encounters something he's not satisfied with, it can be truly deadly.

It's said that three groups in Wei's composition department are almost driven crazy by Director Xu...

Now, if you hear the name of the movie "Different Paths," nine out of ten people in the composition department will be scared away, and the remaining one will be because of leg problems and can't run.

Xu Wenhua stared at the assistant director with a sinister look in his eyes; he could play the man-eating demon in the director's movie even without makeup.

"What did you say? Say it again?"

Assistant Director: "I said, we must strive for perfection! We absolutely cannot cut corners! To be careless about any detail is the greatest disrespect to the art of film!"

“I think… how about we try a different approach?” Xiao Meng, who had just started her internship, raised her hand.

Everyone looked at the fearless intern with the eyes of someone looking at a 'martyr'.

But the intern looked at the big boss, Director Xu, with innocent and naive eyes, "Director Xu, I think this song is pretty good. It just went viral and became a trending topic. But the public opinion seems to be a bit negative. It looks like it's being manipulated by online trolls."

Director Xu is a grumpy and eccentric person.

Ordinary people wouldn't care what an intern says, and when they're in a bad mood, they might even yell at a quick-thinking intern.

But Xu Wenhua is the kind of person who likes to use other people's "spur-of-the-moment ideas" as a starting point to elicit further discussion.

When he lacks inspiration, he calls the whole team together for a brainstorming session. After everyone has spoken, inspiration might strike.

Hearing the intern recommending a new song on his phone, Xu Wenhua, though still looking annoyed, took the phone with him.

Top trending topic: Heavenly voice

Xu Wenhua frowned slightly.

Having a good voice and singing well doesn't necessarily mean that's what he needs.

However, the film's release date really can't be delayed any longer.

If he really can't find anything that suits his taste, he'll have no choice but to listen to all the garbage sent by Webster's composition department again, trying to find something useful in this mess.

A song was displayed next to the trending topic; when he clicked on it, it was a screen recording of a variety show.

On the screen, the woman in the white dress was graceful and elegant, much like the succubus in his movie who couldn't get the human man she wanted.

Xu Wenhua felt that for this reason alone, the song was worth listening to.

Then, a female a cappella performance began.

In just a few short "la la la" phrases, the song vividly portrays a woman's journey from the secret joy of unrequited love to the despair of unrequited love.

Xu Wenhua's eyes lit up.

This, this! Yes! This is the feeling!

He could even feel his heartbeat quickening unconsciously.

The most compelling part of the movie "Different Paths" is its romantic storyline.

Everyone is struggling in a vortex of emotions and ethics.

Within each character lies a beast called 'desire'.

However, humans chose to trap this 'beast,' while the demon in the story chose to release it.

The kind of song he wanted was one that could express this twisted, yearning emotion.

Is this going too far?

what?

Is his request excessive?

Look at what kind of shit Wei gave him!

He wanted nothing more than to grab the lyricist and composer by the head and show him what kind of garbage he had written! Anyone who didn't know better would think he'd switched careers and gone into making movies about three people!

But this girl sings well!

It was practically tailor-made for Xu Wenhua!

Xu Wenhua is a man of action; once he sets his mind on something, he'll do anything to snatch it away!

Back then, Director Xu managed to land himself in the police force and make headlines by trying to steal the lead actress from a neighboring production.

I also like this song!

What kind of demons and monsters dare to discredit the songs I like?

Director Xu rolled up his sleeves, logged onto his personal account, and started cursing online!

So, before the crew could stop him, Director Xu took out his phone and, with lightning speed, logged onto the blog, tracing the clues to Zhou Wen's program's official account.

V Xu Wenhua: [I want that song by the girl in the white dress! Name your price!]

Originally, the blog was already ablaze with conflict.

If only Director Xu had paid attention to the current trending search terms.

You can see the following trending topics:

Dolphin sound!?

Chen Hong angrily scolded Han Feifei

Han Feifei, a contestant in a talent show rife with scandals

Han Feifei is not qualified to be a judge

The editor-in-chief of The Sound of Music gave Painted Heart a bad review: "An opportunistic work."

Originally, the members of the "Big Three" composition departments all "donned their disguises and entered the fray," eager to crush Fang Ruoxi, who was bravely venturing into the hot song charts all by herself.

As a result, all the bullets were already loaded.

Suddenly, everyone was shot in the back.

Looking back, he realized he had coughed up three liters of blood; it turned out he had been accidentally shot by friendly forces.

……

W. M. W. M.'s composition section.

The head of the composition department, whose eyes were red with anger, had already spent money to hire online trolls. "Follow that guy surnamed Wang from 'The Sound of Music,' and smear him to death!"

As a result, his subordinate ran over in despair, "Boss, the film department has screwed us over!"

Xu Wei took the phone and looked at it; he almost spat out a mouthful of blood onto the screen.

"You surnamed Xu! Did I dig up your ancestral grave?! You're just throwing your own people in here!!"

……

Tianyin Composition Department.

Zhang Xun is the head of the composition department at Tianyin Music School.

He was Zhang Junyu's fourth cousin, and he was able to become the head of the composition department because he married a good wife.

At this moment, Zhang Xun sat in his office with his legs crossed, sipping tea while flirting with his mistress on his spare phone.

His office was playing his wife's famous song from the Golden Hall.

Knock knock knock!

There was a rapid knocking on the door.

Zhang Xun frowned impatiently, put away his spare phone, cleared his throat, and said, "Come in."

The secretary walked over quickly.

Even with her excellent professional skills, the secretary had to mentally review the current situation three times before she could summarize it roughly and report:

“The Wei family’s people are arguing with the ‘Mr. Wang’ we hired online. Do you think we should try to communicate with the Wei family?”
