The song was targeted

Zhang Lan looked at the concerned expressions of the Group, sighed deeply, and finally took out her phone, accessed the music platform, found her song, and pushed it to the center of the dining table.

"Take a look, and you will know."

Shen Rou and the others looked at the phone on the dining table, their eyes falling on Zhang Lan's song.

For a while, they didn't find any issues.

Liu Weiwei couldn't help but tap play on the screen, and a gentle melody slowly emerged.

"There's no problem; this song sounds great!"

Liu Weiwei looked up at Zhang Lan in confusion. She had heard Zhang Lan sing this song before, and it was quite good. Although it couldn't compare to those hit songs, it was still a decent track.

"Look at the comment section."

Zhang Lan looked at them and spoke indifferently.

Hearing Zhang Lan's words, Shen Rou reached out and opened the comment section below the song.

"Trash song, it doesn't sound good at all."

"Trash!"

"Doesn't sound good."

"Really terrible, bad review."

"…"

"This…"

Looking at the uniform bad reviews in the comment section.

Shen Rou and the others exchanged glances, then looked at Zhang Lan with some confusion.

"What exactly is going on?"

Logically speaking, even if some people didn't like Zhang Lan's song, it shouldn't have so many people bashing it; this clearly defied common sense.

Yang Yaoyao rolled her eyes and looked at Zhang Lan tentatively.

"Did you offend someone?"

Given the state of Zhang Lan's comment section, it was clearly not spontaneous negative reviews from passersby; it could be confirmed that someone had intentionally hired internet trolls.

This kind of thing was nothing more than Zhang Lan's rivals, or someone Zhang Lan had offended.

Hearing Yang Yaoyao's words, everyone's gaze turned to Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan noticed everyone's gaze, thought for a moment, and shook her head slightly.

"During this time, I have been focusing on studying songs and simply haven't had the time to offend anyone."

For a moment, everyone in the Room fell into silence.

Without offending anyone, who would hire internet trolls to cause trouble for no reason?

This clearly didn't make sense!

Shen Rou sat in her chair, lost in thought.

After a while, she looked up and spoke slowly.

"Could it be something Li Xiaoxiao or Xu Lei did?"

"Li Xiaoxiao, Xu Lei? Who are they?"

Yang Yaoyao and Liu Weiwei both had expressions of confusion upon hearing this.

"These people were all Zhang Lan's partners from her previous studio. later, because the songs became popular, they were poached by the Entertainment Company."

"…"

Shen Rou briefly recounted Zhang Lan's situation.

"There's such a thing? These people are too disloyal. They agreed to start a studio together, yet they abandoned it because of a little temptation."

"Do they have no persistence or principles at all? It's truly infuriating."

Liu Weiwei was full of anger upon hearing Shen Rou's account.

Zhang Lan listened to their conversation and suddenly remembered that on the day the song was released, Xu Lei had called her, inviting her again to join their Entertainment Company.

She had refused without any hesitation at that time.

She remembered that after she refused, Xu Lei had indeed said some inexplicable things.

"If you join our Entertainment Company, it would actually be a win-win situation. But you have refused the Entertainment Company's invitation once again, and the Entertainment Company is very unhappy. If they do anything, I wouldn't know."

She didn't take it seriously at the time, but now looking back, those words were clearly threatening her.

If she didn't join their Entertainment Company, they would do something.

For example: the uniform bad reviews under her song.

This kind of thing was simply a piece of cake for an Entertainment Company.

But for a small studio like theirs, it was undoubtedly a devastating blow.

These troll-generated bad reviews undoubtedly slowed down the exposure of her song.

For a song of the same quality, if it had so many bad reviews, its ranking would definitely be lower.

"I think it must be them."

Zhang Lan said in a deep voice.

"Then what should we do?"

Liu Weiwei opened her mouth, not knowing what to do for a moment.

This song had already been affected, but the key issue was, if Zhang Lan released a new song next time and the Entertainment Company caused trouble again, they would still have no way to deal with it.

Everyone in the Room realized this problem and fell into silence one after another.

"Lanlan, why don't you join Lanpian Film and Television? That way, these kinds of troll issues definitely won't affect you."

"Furthermore, I have already communicated with Luo Xiao from Lanpian Film and Television, indicating that you can join Lanpian Film and Television, and it won't affect your creative process. They will also provide some resource assistance during your creative process."

"However, there is a prerequisite: you must produce a decent song within half a year, otherwise they won't let you stay at Lanpian Film and Television."

Shen Rou pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.

She had long discussed Zhang Lan joining Lanpian Film and Television with Luo Xiao. She had also mentioned this to Zhang Lan, but Zhang Lan was at a critical moment in producing her new song at the time, so she hadn't given an answer.

At this moment, with the Entertainment Company causing trouble for Zhang Lan's new song, joining Lanpian Film and Television was undoubtedly the best choice.

Moreover, she believed in Zhang Lan's ability.

"I will think about it some more."

Zhang Lan's gaze was hesitant; she also knew that joining Lanpian Film and Television was the best choice at this time.

But precisely because of this, she was a bit hesitant.

Before, when she hadn't run into trouble, she hadn't chosen to join Lanpian Film and Television.

Now that she had run into trouble, thinking about joining Lanpian Film and Television gave her a feeling of being at a dead end, having no choice but to join Lanpian Film and Television.

She didn't mind it herself.

But if this matter were known by General Manager Luo of Lanpian Film and Television, or by General Manager Chen of the Group, what would they think of Shen Rou? Would they think Shen Rou was using her position for personal gain?

Shen Rou had finally found a very good job, and she didn't want Shen Rou to be suspected or disliked by her leaders because of her own affairs.

Shen Rou looked at Zhang Lan seriously and finally nodded slowly.

"Alright, think it over clearly, and you can tell me anytime."

She knew Zhang Lan's personality well; she was usually carefree but had her own strong opinions.

As long as she hadn't thought it through, no matter how she persuaded her, she wouldn't be convinced.

…

The next day, in the early morning, a black G-Wagon drove out of the underground garage.

Chen Mo was sitting in the back seat when he suddenly saw several familiar figures on the side of the road, limping along the roadside.

"Stop!"

Chen Mo called out to Yang Dahai.

Yang Dahai steadily parked the car on the side of the road, his gaze also falling on the four figures on the roadside, with a hint of concern in his eyes.

Because among the two people who were limping, one was his daughter.
