Aesthetics of Violence [Entertainment]

On the [-]th floor of the company, in the private office at the farthest point, it's exactly seven o'clock in the afternoon.

In the morning, the group meeting and departmental meeting were held intensively. In the afternoon, a one-year publicity assistance contract was signed with three media outlets. Everything went well. Ge Qiao decided to get off work on time today, adding another stroke to this day that he couldn't find any regrets. Perfect full stop.

Humming a ditty, he threw the waste paper on the table into the trash can under the table like the wind swept away the remaining clouds, turned off the computer screen, picked up his coat from the back of the swivel chair and put it on, turned around and suddenly saw the office door There was a person standing, leaning against the door frame, arms crossed, head slightly tilted, looking at himself with a leisurely smile.Ge Qiao was nailed to the spot immediately, and immediately shut his mouth tightly and became quiet.

"In a good mood?" In fact, Zhong Mingcan stood at the door for a while, and he didn't say anything, just wanting to see when Ge Qiao inside would find him.

He was called to the company by Yao Yao today. He thought there was something wrong with the song "The Voice of the Horse" written for the AIX group, but when he came, he found that there seemed to be nothing serious. Yao Zhen led him to his office. After gently closing the door, he solemnly gave him a copy of the final product of "The Sensual Colors of Qiuma", saying that it was for the sense of ceremony.After going around and going around so many useless links, she finally revealed the real purpose of inviting Zhong Mingcan to the company.

Yao Yao put the two documents that had just been printed and still had residual heat in the machine in front of Zhong Mingcan, and then sat back in the middle of the sofa in the office, with his back straight, his sitting posture upright, his hands folded on his lap, without a smile in his eyes. The deputy looks ready to discuss business affairs, but there is a sense of oppression hidden in the pride and self-confidence that cannot be ignored.

"Actually, I'm looking for you this time, mainly to hear your thoughts, would you like to sign with our company?"

Zhong Mingcan stared at the few sheets of thin paper in front of him, just stared, silent.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Yao Jie was quite surprised, but he was really not sure about his temper, so he frowned, restrained his pressure a little, took a step back and said, "Either you should look at the conditions stipulated in the contract first, and consider consider?"

The person opposite still sat still, not touching the contract in front of him.After an unknown amount of time, Zhong Mingcan's hand suddenly trembled slightly. There seemed to be no shock or surprise in this weak reaction.He didn't have any idea about the signing of the contract in his heart, but he probably knew that it was a serious and prudent matter, but Yao Jian said it too lightly, cutting off the beginning and the end, without any explanation or explanation, just posing in front of him. These few black and white letters and a multiple-choice question.In the airtight office separated by the closed door, this flimsy white paper is like a fictional cloud, weightless and untouchable, making Zhong Mingcan feel uneasy.

"Let me think about it, okay?" At last, he replied.

"Why did you come to my office?" Ge Qiao was so startled that he could only stare at Zhong Mingcan, holding back a sentence for a long time before saying it.

"I asked Sister Yao, so I found out that you are on the tenth floor." It was indeed true, but the answer was not what the question asked.

Ge Qiao blinked and opened his mouth again, but he still couldn't continue to answer.

Zhong Mingcan saw Ge Qiao's textbook-like dumbfoundedness and felt a little cute. The corners of his mouth raised, and his smile spread into his voice: "Let's go together? I'll take you back."

Ge Qiao wanted to say that he also drove here, but his throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't make a sound.In the end, he stopped trying to speak and gave up on himself. He thought in his heart that the car should be left at the company overnight, and that he would take Zhu Zan's car to come tomorrow morning.He nodded and made a difficult "hmm".

It wasn't until he walked out of the company building, blowing the cold wind, and his brain turned from chaos to clarity, that he finally found his voice, cleared his throat, and explained to Zhong Mingcan with his head tilted: "Sorry, I was really scared just now..."

"I see." Zhong Mingcan nodded, and the smile in his words still persisted, "Are you that surprised? This is not the first time you have seen me in the company."

"But it's the first time I saw you at the door of my own office." Ge Qiao specially emphasized the three words "myself".

"Okay, then when I come next time, I will send a message to remind you."

Hearing these words, Ge Qiao finally woke up completely. Zhong Mingcan's so-called "next time" was definitely not just talking. He said he would come next time, so there must be a next time.Although that office is not a secret base, it also belongs to his private space. Ge Qiao has a very sensitive animal instinct in this regard. He felt a little awkward when Zhong Mingcan came suddenly without invitation, but he couldn't explain why. The awkwardness of the matter seemed to be only aimed at Zhong Mingcan, and before he had time to think about it, he quickly changed the subject: "Where is your car parked?"

"Over there." Zhong Mingcan was still smiling, and raised his finger in one direction.

Unexpectedly, the decision he made on a whim would come true so smoothly.In front of the car, Zhong Mingcan took a few steps forward, graciously helped Ge Qiao open the co-pilot's door, protected Ge Qiao's head and sent him into the car, already ecstatic in his heart.

"I haven't asked you yet, why did you come to the company today?" Ge Qiao said while bowing his head to fasten his seat belt.

"Speaking of which, I want to discuss something with you." Seeing that Ge Qiao's heavy cotton coat blocked his sight, and he didn't hear the "click" sound after pulling it for a long time, Zhong Mingcan turned slightly to help him The seat belt was buckled into the bayonet, "Yao Yao wants to sign a contract with me, should I agree?"

Ge Qiao was dressed bulgingly, and felt that the seat belt was too tight. He adjusted the position with his hand on the hood of the big padded coat. Hearing this, the movements of his hands stopped immediately: "She told me you said?"

"Well, he even gave me the drafted contract directly." Zhong Mingcan leaned forward and took a document bag from the back seat, and handed it to Ge Qiao, "That's it."

Ge Qiao took it, raised his hand to turn on the dome light in the car, and as soon as he opened the file bag, he buried himself in the study.There are not many terms, and they are not too strict. The treatment is very good, and the conditions can even be said to be very attractive.He concentrated on checking the last punctuation mark, and then carefully opened the edges and corners to see if there were any small characters near the binding line. Although he didn't think Yao Li would be such a treacherous person, he must be cautious. Besides, Party B is Zhong Mingcan, a simple little white sheep.

"I think it's okay, what do you think?"

"I don't know." Zhong Mingcan answered truthfully. He really didn't know what to do. In his subconscious mind, he seemed to think that whether he signed a contract was related to what kind of life he would live in this life. He didn't want either option very much.

"You don't have to take it as such an important matter. Will you be locked up in this ivory tower for the rest of your life? You will definitely be squeezed when you come in. Don't worry, as Yao Na's colleague, and For the employees of this company, I guarantee that these worries will not happen." Ge Qiao seemed to be able to guess his thoughts, and every sentence stabbed his heart.

"Then I should agree, right?" Zhong Mingcan felt a little relieved, and unconsciously began to rely on Ge Qiao's thoughts.

"I'm not you, what are you asking me for?" Ge Qiao casually started talking while packing his paper bag, not thinking of himself as a well-known opinion leader at all, and answered very unfeelingly.

Zhong Mingcan fell into silence, and encountered a red light during the rush hour, and the car stopped slowly, completely merging into the traffic flow that was also waiting to go home.

"Just this one thing? Yao Yao called you all the way to the company just to talk about this?" When he spoke again, Ge Qiao's words suddenly became sharp, with a hint of disbelief.

But Zhong Mingcan is not Ge Qiao who can handle everything with ease, just because of this matter, he feels that he has panicked.Zhong Mingcan pulled out a wry smile, the sky outside the window had already turned dark, and the lights lit in the sea of ​​cars illuminated his side face, and the light without warmth sharpened his originally gentle outline, making him look particularly unreal. "There are other things too. She also gave me the finished product of "The Sensual Colors of Fur Horse" and copied it to a USB flash drive. She said that it would be more ceremonial to give it to me by hand, although I didn't quite understand what she meant..."

"Well, it seems like something she can do." It was reasonable, Ge Qiao nodded knowingly, and after speaking, he smiled and moved his eyes from the window to the front.

Passing through the congested street, there were fewer cars, and the light source also dimmed. Zhong Mingcan and Ge Qiao gradually disappeared in the bleak and dull black. This deserted night began to quickly erode the little bit of temperature in the car. , Zhong Mingcan's car was slowly approaching Ge Qiao's residence.

"Do you have a Weibo account?" Ge Qiao asked suddenly.

Zhong Mingcan was also used to Ge Qiao's jumping thinking, and didn't feel it was abrupt, but still hesitated for a moment before giving a light answer: "Sorry, no."

Ge Qiao noticed the blankness of those few seconds, but he didn't ask any more questions, just nodded, and turned his gaze out of the window again.

The lights in the residential area were also turned on, and the warm light staggered, illuminating the winding driveway and the man-made lake. After winter, the lake had already been covered with a thin layer of ice, and there were no more sharp waves. These are fuzzy and weak points of light, connected together.When Zhong Mingcan sent Ge Qiao to the front of the apartment building, the dial in the car was exactly at eight o'clock.

After Ge Qiao got out of the car, he walked a few steps and then backed away, knocking on the window glass. Zhong Mingcan thought he had something important to forget, so he hurriedly lowered the window, but Ge Qiao just bent over and poked his head in. , Thank you again with a serious face.Zhong Mingcan felt it was funny, and told him to go back quickly so he wouldn't catch a cold. When reversing the car and going out, Zhong Mingcan accidentally caught sight of the rearview mirror and saw Ge Qiao standing there watching him leave. It's also worth entering the house.

Unprepared just now, a thought came to his mind, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by someone, and then smashed back into the chest cavity.In another tenth and one second, Ge Qiao is about to invite him to sit at home. Fortunately, under the influence of the cold wind, he still has a trace of tenacious reason. Looking at the innocent face of Zhong Mingcan in front of him, he finally swallowed it alive. The sentence that was about to be blurted out was replaced by an ordinary sentence of "Thank you, be careful on the road".

Until now, he is still not sure what he thinks. After all, he has long been used to being alone. When he is not worried, he is relaxed, will not be disturbed, and will not offend anyone. He doesn't even know that liking someone should be What mood, and how to react.Is this normal?I can't wait to introduce him to acquaintances, I can't wait to include him in my own field and become a special existence.

Ge Qiao felt a little dazed when he opened the door, and went straight up to the second floor, ignoring Zhu Zan who was still integrated with the sofa in the living room.

That night.

Lying on the bed, half asleep and half awake, the phone rang suddenly.The caller was Zhao Xu, Ge Qiao glanced at it in a daze, feeling aggrieved, what's wrong with calling him again in the middle of the night?

He picked it up full of resentment, and there were only three cold words: "Something went wrong."

broken.

When Ge Qiao hung up the phone mechanically with stiff arms, he glanced at the phone. At 21:[-] in the morning, he was completely awake now, his scalp was numb, and he lost all drowsiness.

At one o'clock in the morning, a little-known entertainment media Weibo account exposed the title song of the upcoming album of the AIX group. It is almost a complete three-and-a-half minute long song, with a prelude and an end.There is only audio, and the screen is black from beginning to end. The sound quality is not blurred, but it is slightly distorted. It is obviously a second recording, not the original file.

The text of this Weibo is very short, but the key words are clear, "AIX's comeback title song is officially exposed", which blurs all dirty intentions, and even takes an official stand.

10 retweets, 172 comments, and 52 likes within 135 minutes.

More than half of the user IDs are orange members, and the data is true, indicating that hot searches have not been bought yet.

It was forwarded 143 times publicly, which shows that many people choose to be visible in the circle of friends or only personally, which again reduces the potential transmission power.

There are no other big V or opinion leaders forwarding and spreading.

The current number of followers of this non-personal entertainment media is 3582, but there is no guarantee what will happen in a few hours in the current state.

Fortunately, it is early in the morning, and most people have already fallen asleep and will not see this message, so the scope of influence has not continued to expand.

Ge Qiao quickly reorganized his mind in one minute, and immediately called the colleagues in the media group, asking them to find the contact information of the media immediately, and no matter what method they use, they must immediately delete this Weibo and spread the news. range to a minimum.Immediately afterwards, he contacted the people in the legal department and briefly explained the situation. Next, their task was to start collecting existing clues and leave all relevant evidence.

"If you pursue responsibility, to what extent will you pursue it?"

"It depends on the seriousness of the matter. If the influence continues to expand and causes direct economic losses to the company, we can appeal to the media that exposed the exposure. The lawsuit is not difficult to fight, but it is difficult to deal with. To put it bluntly, what is wasted is Our resources are fueled by their enthusiasm. If we want to completely solve the problem, the key lies in who got the audio and how it got to the media..."

"I don't care who did this immoral thing, I will pursue it to the end." Ge Qiao said calmly, but he was extremely determined.

When this chaotic night finally quieted down, Ge Qiao's cell phone was already hot, he threw it on the bed, stared at the void and started to daze.At least it’s not the worst situation yet. Although the company’s people are not on standby 24 hours a day, fortunately, everyone who can be contacted can be contacted now; the influence of the entertainment media that exposed AIX’s title song has begun to show a trend of weakening , It seems that it is just a pheasant fighting alone, without connections or allies.

This is not the first time for the company to engage in the comeback of idols. From the beginning to the end, it has been step by step and completed all the inherent processes. Which link went wrong?

Ge Qiao forced himself to ignore the chaotic drowsiness that began to erode his nerves again, calm down and sort out the schedule for more than a month, from media warm-up to album recording, but the high-intensity work that has been going on all day made him His thoughts became hazy and dull, but he could clearly feel the cold sweat on his back. Suddenly, he remembered the conversation with Zhong Mingcan in the car, the sentence "no" and his brief hesitation.

The people who have access to the audio files, in addition to colleagues in the company, are Zhong Mingcan.The only ones holding the final product in their hands are Yao Li and Zhong Mingcan.

If Zhong Mingcan accidentally revealed it to a friend...

If that audio stream came from him...

His back felt cold, Ge Qiao stopped thinking for a moment, his mind went blank, but he could only accommodate one instinctive thought.

If it really has something to do with Zhong Mingcan, he will suppress this matter no matter what.
