It was reasonable for artists to make headlines before releasing a new album . They had to do so with true news though, instead of fabricated ones . If this had happened on the Chinese mainland, Sun would have been punished for disturbing public order and been forced out of the industry .
"Thanks, He Ming . I'll treat you to dinner back at home . Don't stay in New York . Come back to China when you have spare time . "
"I will . "
When Qin Guan called Jay Chou and told him the truth, Jay fell silent for a while .
He knew immediately who had leaked the news . Chen Zeshan, EMI's director, was a brave, smart guy . He had started his career as a composer and climbed up to his current position by using his own strength .
He was a great example of a talented man who had risen from the bottom of the hierarchy .
While he had been working at EMI, he had discovered Jolin Tsai, Stefanie Sun, A-Mei and Show Luo . In two years, EMI had taken the lead in the music circle, beating Rolling Stone, Global and The Millennium in the process .
The man was brave enough to divert the public's attention and steal the spotlight in shameless ways . Sun's new album would become very popular after that incident .
That brave man was the rulemaker of the Taiwanese music scene . Jay was his equal, though . That was why his interview had been promoted by the media . If he had been a nobody, people would never have heard about it .
A group of singers with the same interests followed his advice, as his brave proposals had made them popular and earned them bigger profits .
What could Jay Chou do?
"Leave this to me . In a few days, the Chinese media will release an announcement from the embassy to comfort tourists . As you know, the tourism industry contributes greatly to government taxation . This exploration of a new route has cost businessmen a lot . They won't sit and watch as their businesses are ruined by fabricated news . The Chinese agencies and the Egyptian government will do something about this . "
Chou hung up in relief . As expected, the news started getting published the next day . All web portals and TV stations were talking about the fake news concerning Sun . Taiwan also heard the shocking news .
The paparazzi went crazy!
Are you an idiot? This is not ancient times, when liars got away with everything . This is the Information Age, so such actions are reckless and unwise .
Sun had come across an unprecedented risk . Singers without integrity were abandoned by their fans . Her album would be useless now .
Chen had not expected this . To his surprise, there were people in the world that were treating these news as seriously as the end of the world .
Qin Guan sneezed again . A lot of people had been missing him lately .
Despite Chou's expectations, as soon as the news were leaked, EMI fired Chen due to his poor performance . It was not Jay Chou who had destroyed his career, but Sun, the singer he had tried his best to promote .
Sun seemed reluctant and aggrieved when she faced the cameras . People could tell that she had been forced to do so .
She even stuttered a little .
"This was a promotion strategy of the company . . . "
"Manager Chen told me . . . "
"He just wanted to divert the attention of the media . "
"No, you must have misunderstood . I'm not resentful . . . "
She could have won an acting award .
EMI was under great pressure from all directions, including the Chinese mainland and Egypt . Everyone knew that they would have to sacrifice some things to save the company . Thus, Chen's dismissal was not a surprise . It was actually a crucial decision that had to be taken fast .
Chen, who had been betrayed both by Sun and EMI, faced the consequences and left the music circle in defeat .
Soon, he would be forgotten by everyone .
