Chapter 56

Lin Xi didn’t want to bother Fang Lizhe too much. Fang Lizhe was also afraid that Su Yuanyuan’s particularity would be discovered, so he bought the house next to him, let Lin Xi live in it, and found a senior nurse to take care of him. Although Lin Xi was still very weak and had no strength to do anything, he could ask a nurse to help him check the news on a tablet. So, Fang Lizhe gave him all the photos he had of Feng Hui, and he could expose them whenever he wanted.

The real Feng Hui had been found, so there was no need for mercy to deal with the foreign ‘Feng Hui’. Originally, Lin Xi also thought about trying to get his body back, but after knowing what Feng Hui did this year, he was simply sick to his stomach and decided to remain in his current body. Unlike Feng Hui, he was squeezed out of his body and drifted to a neighboring city in a daze, after which he was suddenly sucked into Lin Xi’s body and knew nothing more.

According to the doctor’s anecdote of the incident, Lin Xi’s heart stopped for 10 minutes before it suddenly recovered. Although Lin Xi could guess he was probably sucked in after Lin Xi died for 10 minutes, he didn’t understand why he was sucked in. Nonetheless, since he woke up in this body, he was Lin Xi from now on. Maybe, it was a blessing because he found that Lin Xi’s appearance was very good, and he had a unique advantage in entering the entertainment industry. Combined with the acting skills he had honed for years, he was sure to make it. He could now hope again that one day, he can realize his dream.

Meanwhile, Feng Hui didn’t know that the original Feng Hui still existed in this world. Right now, he was enjoying the beautiful scenery as he contacted Xiang Tong privately. Xiang Tong didn’t dare to block him anymore and had to talk to him nicely. Thus, when he felt it, he wrote a new song, put it into a score, and gave it to Xiang Tong to sing. As expected, the release made it to the hot search list again.

Seeing that she was pushed down from the hot search list, Su Yuanyuan was very dissatisfied. She snorted twice and discussed it with 001.

[Su Yuanyuan: Can you give me the draft of all the songs he has made in this world? I want to expose them all, so he won’t have any songs to copy. It’s obvious that other people wrote those songs. Why should he say that he wrote them himself? All the songs he took out before were written by non-famous people, he’s too shameless!]

[001: Yes, 50 wish points are needed.]

[Su Yuanyuan: … You’re such a cheapskate, can’t you do me this favor?]

Although she said so, Su Yuanyuan didn’t hesitate to exchange the wish points. She didn’t care much about the wish points, but she really hated people like Feng Hui. Even if Feng Hui could be suppressed, she didn’t want people to think that Feng Hui had any form of talent. She must expose Feng Hui’s true nature of being a plagiarizer!

The songs exchanged from the wish points soon appeared in front of Su Yuanyuan in the form of the original draft, and she flipped through them. There were as many as a hundred songs, and there were fifty or sixty songwriters in it. Feng Hui brought out these future songs in this world right now, so wouldn’t that mean he had stepped on dozens of future successful songwriters? Some people may only write one classic song in their lifetime, and after this one was stolen by Feng Hui, they might never be known for the rest of their lives. Su Yuanyuan read it and took a high-resolution photo of each page of the original draft, with each handwriting different, and it was written by many different people. Then she opened her computer with great enthusiasm, posting ‘Is Great Talent Feng Plagiarizing, or Using a Ghostwriter?’. The post quickly attracted a lot of netizens attention.

Nearly 100 drafts were clearly listed in the post. The poster claimed to be from a good-hearted person, wanting to be a model citizen, exposing Feng Hui. A dozen or so songs that Feng Hui had ‘written’ previously were on it. It was obvious that the original manuscripts with its revision marks, didn’t belong to the same person, and were completely different from Feng Hui’s handwriting. Su Yuanyuan challenged Feng Hui to take out his drafts. He must have a lot of drafts if he really wrote so many songs. Furthermore, let Feng Hui talk about music composition; how could someone write songs without understanding music composition?

Originally, some people thought it was Feng Hui’s hater who was making trouble. Yet, the more the person talked, the more rational they were. So, they went to Weibo to tag @Feng Hui to ask him to come out and clarify. If he was framed, he should have immediately clarified the situation. Wasn’t sending out a draft very simple? How could Feng Hui send them out? He could only hum those songs and a staff member would write it out, and then look for others to arrange and accompany them with musical instruments.

Feng Hui was furious, but he deeply rattled. Despite Liang Xingyu’s increasing questioning and suspicion, he ran back to his room and locked himself inside, staring at the computer full of disbelief. Those songs clearly hadn’t been created yet, and they were all songs that would only be available in the future. How could anyone have accurately curated all the drafts? With so many drafts, almost all the songs he could sing were there. Could there be someone else who crossed over like him? But, why was it so coincidental that they were all songs he could sing? Could it be that someone he knew was deliberately targeting him?

Feng Hui’s face went pale. He kept looking for water army brokers, agents and forum administrators. He wanted to delete this post and wash his reputation. However, his silence made more and more people question him. If he didn’t take a public stance, the charge of plagiarism would almost be solidified onto him. After all, with so many good lyrics, who would be stupid enough to be a ghostwriter for Feng Hui? He wasn’t exactly a big shot when he first wrote songs.

At the same time, a website has sprung up online that encourages songwriting and promises to protect the copyright of each writer. Having a website for this was nothing much, but this website was very innovative in all aspects, and many themes were listed for everyone to practice. The top three songs in every month’s competition would net prizes, and it made it easier for people to get noticed by the music industry. This way, really good lyrics and really good songs would never be buried.

As it turns out, Su Yuanyuan was the one who created the website, and she uploaded nearly a hundred original lyrics. Zhuo Feng was a hacker in his previous life, so she learned a couple of things when she followed him. Building a small website was no big deal. With the hype of Feng Hui’s plagiarism, this new website suddenly burst into the limelight. At first, only a few people registered because it was fun. Later, they wrote lyrics and entered the competition, and they felt it was very interesting. On top of that, they gained a lot of inspiration when they exchanged ideas together. Soon, more and more people registered.

In such a venue for songwriting, with guidance, competition and inspiration, producing good songs wouldn’t be difficult. Truly talented people may only need a little motivation to write good things. This website had blocked Feng Hui’s way out! Even if Feng Hui had other songs, it wouldn’t be as unique as the nearly hundred songs exposed. Since it wasn’t iconic enough, how could it compare to the works inspired by so many songwriters?

Feng Hui was also very self-aware. Seeing how this matter had developed to such an extent, he knew he was finished. The only golden finger he could rely on was gone!

He posted a message on his Weibo account, saying, ‘those who are clean will be clean’, and then fell silent, never showing up again. His fanatic fans sympathized with him and firmly believed that he is innocent, but more fans were incredibly disappointed and could see his guilt. His career, which had just improved because of his marriage and songwriting, suffered a devastating blow. Even Liang Xingyu was furious because of his deceit and moved back to her maternal home.

At this time, ‘Demon Fox’ finally opened to packed theaters, jumping to the top of the box office on its first day, overpowering all the films of the same period and receiving rave reviews. People were stunned by Su Yuanyuan’s superb acting skills and even saw her as the real fox demon inside, crying and smiling for her. Actors acting well wasn’t a rare thing, but animals acting well, there was only the one, Su Yuanyuan. Therefore, even if Xiang Tong performed well in the movie, she was still crushed by Su Yuanyuan. After all, with how Su Yuanyuan could play the fox part so well, wouldn’t have it been better if she acted in all the scenes instead?

Su Yuanyuan immediately made headlines again, becoming the most talked-about star. The number of fans rose rapidly, and the spiritual power that came made Su Yuanyuan feel comfortable and relaxed. She didn’t want to move!

As the show launched, a good number of critics had given ‘Demon Fox’ an extremely high rating. No matter which way they analyzed it, it was a particularly well-made film. The Internet was full of news about ‘Demon Fox’. It was simply unbelievable for anyone to say that they hadn’t seen this film.

A week later, ‘Demon Fox’ was released in several other countries at the same time. At first, the box office was terrible. A lot of people weren’t interested in Chinese demons, but the box office soared the next day, and finally climbed to an incredible height. ‘Demon Fox’ grossed a whopping 4.5 billion worldwide!

Everyone was cheering, thrilled that China had made such a high grossing film. It was unprecedented and would be recorded in cinematic history! Director Xu had already sent the film to compete for awards, so there might be better news coming soon. At the same time, the protagonists in “Demon Fox” also came to international prominence. The beautiful and demon-like Xiang Tong and the naive and treacherous male lead, both made a huge leap in popularity. And the most talked about, the little fox Su Yuanyuan.

After foreigners were sure that Su Yuanyuan was a real fox and not computer-generated imagery, they were all blown away. They couldn’t believe that a small fox could actually act better than a human. Foreign countries shoot a lot more ‘animal movies’ than China, but they were simple comedies. They rely on dubbing and special effects to achieve a comedic effect. Absolutely none of them were performed by the animals themselves. Su Yuanyuan was amazing. Many foreigners asked if China really had fox demons.

Su Yuanyuan was popular again, and really went international!

Susu Fans saw foreigners couldn’t believe it, and went over to recommend ‘Cute Dog Susu’ and ‘The Elite Among Dogs’ one after another. Even the advertisements taken by Su Yuanyuan were made into small videos and sent out. This became the era of ‘scrolling the screen for Su Yuanyuan’.

And while the internet was buzzing with discussions about ‘Demon Fox’ and Su Yuanyuan, Lin Xi silently brought all of Feng Hui’s black material to light. This buzz was naturally not as high as ‘Demon Fox’, and didn’t grab the headlines, but it did climb to the top of the hot search list and was seen by many people. Xiang Tong, who was promoted to the international level by virtue of ‘Demon Fox’, was immediately called a white lotus b*tch by everyone!

Xiang Tong secretly gave Su Yuanyuan some problems, and Fang Lizhe hadn’t forgotten this. He had mentioned his intention of dealing with Xiang Tong when he gave the stuff to Lin Xi before, and Lin Xi timed it perfectly, making Xiang Tong fall into the mire just as she was floating into heaven! This time, Xiang Tong would never be able to get up anymore!
