Chapter 875 The 'Dummy' Who Refused to Be Bound for a Lifetime (13)
Shen Junchuan is not alone.
Two bodyguards who were following behind also caught up, stopped the group of paparazzi, and snatched the camera.
The paparazzi were unwilling to give up, but they were powerless to resist, so they could only pretend to be calm and timidly speak:
"Why did you take our camera? We...we're calling the police!"
"Yes, we need to call the police."
The group encouraged each other and spoke.
Shen Junchuan's brow furrowed with coldness, and he didn't bother with any more words.
I felt disgusted just looking at them.
After checking to make sure Mu Zhou wasn't injured, he took her back to the car.
*
The car drove away, and Shen Junchuan hung up the phone.
Mu Zhou heard everything clearly.
Those paparazzi and the media outlets behind them are likely to pay a heavy price.
She was a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I haven't settled into my new role yet, and I didn't notice for a moment."
She definitely wouldn't dare to go out alone like this again.
We have to at least pretend.
Shen Junchuan tossed his phone aside, glancing at her with an unfathomable look in his eyes.
Mu Zhou really occupied his mind and heart too much.
This is not good.
However... it wasn't really his meddling in today's matter. In any case, he was the one who first brought her into the spotlight.
He has an obligation to protect her safety.
Shen Junchuan withdrew his gaze and looked ahead:
"No need to apologize, I'll have the company assign you another assistant."
"Okay, thank you."
After a moment of silence, Mu Zhou suddenly said:
"My separation from Song Huaizhi might not have been amicable, if he..."
Mu Zhou hesitated for a moment, then pursed his lips.
"If he wants to hinder my career, can you, can you..."
Mu Zhou found it hard to say.
These upper-class people all have intricate connections.
If Song Huaizhi really wanted to stop her and completely cut off her path forward, Shen Junchuan probably wouldn't say anything.
She was not worth Shen Junchuan offending Song Huaizhi.
Thinking of this, she felt somewhat discouraged.
Shen Junchuan's eyes were deep and dark.
Seeing the frustration and dejection in her eyes, he smiled and reassured her:
"The company isn't a charity. They spent a lot of money to produce your album, and they certainly won't let that investment go to waste."
This means they want to protect her.
Mu Zhou's eyes instantly lit up.
After that, she focused wholeheartedly on preparing her new album, completely ignoring the behind-the-scenes clashes between Song Huaizhi and Shen Junchuan.
Shen Junchuan also appeared during the album's production process.
He kept a close eye on the entire process, especially during the filming of the music video.
They would point out even the smallest problems and demand a reshoot.
"The expression here is too stiff, let's do another take."
"There are too many wrinkles in the hem, stylist please fix them."
"The lighting is bad, so we need to adjust the lighting and rearrange the room."
A relatively simple music video, yet the requirements are comparable to those of a big-budget movie.
Mu Zhou experienced Shen Junchuan's high standards and requirements firsthand for the first time.
However, instead of being discouraged, she became even more motivated.
Because she knew that he would indeed have more experience in filming.
His criticism was intended to improve the work, not to deliberately undermine her.
Therefore, Mu Zhou humbly accepted everything.
Soon, the new album was completed, and four new songs were released, receiving a very positive response.
One of her signature songs is the same English song that she sang and played herself and became a hit online.
Today, Mu Zhou will be participating in a live music performance, which will be her first time performing on a public stage.
Mu Zhou has decided to sing the Chinese version of the title track.
She had been preparing for this for a long time.
The recording took place at a television station, which is the station's most important project this year.
Because of the live broadcast gimmick, the show has a lot of popularity, and today is the first episode, so it's getting a lot of attention.
Mu Zhou was the first to appear after drawing lots.
The other singers in this episode all breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Zhou didn't care; he just wanted it to end sooner so he could relax.
During the commercial break, Mu Zhou sat in his lounge, warming up his voice and checking his guitar.
Even though the song had been re-recorded, Mu Zhou still chose to sing and play the guitar himself when appearing in public as a singer for the first time.
The commercial break ended quickly, and Mu Zhou took the stage.
The stage went dark, with only one beam of light shining on her.
Long, slender fingers swept across the strings, and beautiful music slowly unfolded.
At this moment, whether it's the invited audience members in the audience or those in front of the screen, everyone who initially just wanted to watch the spectacle is gradually drawn into the atmosphere.
The girl was holding a guitar and wearing a rainbow-colored pastoral-style sundress.
She had long, thick, jet-black hair, but the ends were tinged with a faint pink.
The pink highlights on her hair curled up slightly, giving Mu Zhou a mysterious yet playful look.
This is a love song, and Mu Zhou sang it with great feeling.
After a short pause following the end of a song, applause erupted from the audience.
Back in the lounge, Mu Zhou relaxed. Sister Ling came over with her phone, looking excited.
"You're trending on social media! You just finished singing and you're already trending."
Originally, Sister A-Ling was a little worried because it was Mu Zhou's first time on stage.
It's hard for complete novices not to feel nervous when facing this kind of situation for the first time, which can lead to mistakes.
But Mu Zhou acted with ease, everything was just right.
I breathed a sigh of relief and was also happy for her.
Mu Zhou took the phone and casually scrolled through the comments below.
[Oh my god, I was there! Nobody knows how immersive it was. I even cried! Just so you know, I wasn't an actor hired by the production team; my tears were genuine!]
[I used to think, "Why would I cry over just listening to a song? It seems so fake!" But after experiencing it firsthand, I realized I couldn't control my tears. The live performance is completely different from watching on TV!!]
[Are you all focused on the singing voice, but I'm only focused on the face? This face is absolutely stunning; I really want to live with this face in my next life.]
I initially had some prejudice against her, but after hearing what she said today, I feel like I'm about to become a fan.
[Mu Zhou, a talented writer and a beauty icon; investing in her is a sure win.]
She's always had a good singing voice, and she's very talented.
The lyrics are so sincere, overflowing with love. And the lyricist is none other than Mu Zhou herself.
[No prize awarded! Guess who this song is written for? Let's shout out his name...]
【Shen Junchuan!】
【Shen Junchuan!】
【Shen Junchuan!】
The comments below were all the same: "Shen Junchuan".
Mu Zhou silently curved the corners of his lips and handed the phone back to Sister A-Ling.
The song, of course, was written by the original owner for Song Huaizhi.
But so what?
Since sincerity can't buy love, then getting money and fame in return is fine too.
After all the performances were over, everyone returned to the stage to wait for the rankings to be announced.
The show's rankings are determined by scores from the live audience, professional judges, and viewers watching at home.
Ultimately, Mu Zhou received the highest overall score and won first place.
The host invited Mu Zhou to give his acceptance speech.
Holding the flowers and the trophy symbolizing first place, Mu Zhou took the microphone with a sincere expression.
At that moment, a tall figure was hidden in a corner of the audience.
His gaze was fixed on Mu Zhou, his breath catching slightly, as if he was anticipating what she was about to say.
