Chapter 1666: Chapter 1327: Hello Everyone, I Am Shadow_2

If you want to ride the wave of popularity, go ahead. After all, I still have so many shares in the company, and since this is my movie, of course I want the box office to be as high as possible.

...

In the days that followed.

The movie pre-sales box office kept rising, surprisingly approaching 20 billion!

Some even predicted that before the movie is released, pre-sales alone could exceed 30 billion!

On Blue Star.

Now Lin Yuan, in a certain sense, is truly like a god!

What Lin Yuan, this "god," didn’t expect was that just after the charity controversy had ended, a new buzz appeared online.

This new buzz was initiated by netizens.

And surprisingly, the originator was Lin Yuan himself.

Because there was a song in Lin Yuan’s new album named "Listen to Your Mother."

"Did you notice this part of the lyrics: [When I grew up, I began to understand why I ran faster than others, flew higher than others, in the future, everyone will be reading the comics I draw, everyone will be singing the songs I write]?"

"This part of the lyrics is quite thought-provoking!"

"In the future, everyone will be reading the comics I draw, everyone will be singing the songs I write, the last part makes sense, in the future everyone indeed sings your songs, Lin Yuan, but why is the first part [everyone will be reading the comics I draw]?"

"Comics!"

"Has Chu Kuang or Xian Yu ever drawn comics?"

"Doesn’t seem like it, but Shadow saying this makes sense."

"Does this mean that Shadow might actually be the third persona of the god?"

"Eh?"

"How has this started again?"

"Someone speculated this before."

"But lyrics, you know, involve a bit of artistic flair; comics might not literally mean comics, it’s just written that way for the rhyme."

"Artistic flair?"

"For the rhyme?"

"I’m afraid it’s more than that?"

"This is clearly Lin Yuan revealing it himself!"

"He must be Shadow, 1000% sure!"

"The lyrics already indicate it, come on!"

...

Lin Yuan was stunned.

Because he really hadn’t intended to reveal his persona.

The logic was simple:

Jay Chou didn’t draw comics either!

But the lyrics to Jay Chou’s song were written that way!

This is indeed artistic license, a form of creative expression!

However, when applied to "Lin Yuan," this sentence really does become a fact:

When the kids grow up, they really will be reading Lin Yuan’s comics, because his third persona is Shadow...

"I still don’t want Shadow to be revealed!"

Lin Yuan was anxious; was he about to experience another public identity crisis so soon?

But things wouldn’t change just because of Lin Yuan’s will; being anxious was of no use.

The buzz had started!

Soon enough.

The whole world began to hotly discuss "whether Shadow is Lin Yuan’s third persona"!

Countless people flooded the comment sections of Shadow, Chu Kuang, and Xian Yu to get confirmation!

Comments went from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, then to millions, even tens of millions...

Not responding was not an option anymore!

This is the price of being too popular!

With no choice, Lin Yuan could only seek help from Jin Mu!

Jin Mu was dumbfounded: "Then why did you write those lyrics in the first place?"

Lin Yuan felt guilty: "Wasn’t it for the rhyme..."

Jin Mu sighed: "Let’s hold a press conference to muddle through for now, mainly talk about the background of the movie ’The Legend of 1900,’ and the charity donations to divert public attention, I’ll draft a press release for you."

"Okay!"

Lin Yuan finally felt a slight relief.

...

The news about the press conference was released on the same day.

Involving Lin Yuan, currently the most talked-about celebrity globally, nearly all global media responded rapidly, with many flocking to the Qin Continent.

Three days later.

The press conference was officially held. Seeing the dense crowd of cameras and people below the stage, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous and guilty.

"Stay calm!"

Jin Mu appeared beside him, handing Lin Yuan a script: "Just read from the script when you get on stage, and remember not to discuss Shadow for now. To ease your mind, I specifically invited An Hong to host this press conference."

"Alright."

Lin Yuan knew he couldn’t escape, so he held the script that Jin Mu had stayed up all night finishing. In terms of content, the public relations quality was still quite high.

On stage.

As the host, An Hong began: "Actually, this is my first time hosting a press conference, sort of expanding my horizons, but since I am an old friend of Lin Yuan, I couldn’t refuse. First, let me thank the journalists from around the world. Today’s press conference is primarily for Lin Yuan to talk about the recent various news, such as the charity donations, the new movie, and also about a particular song from the new album..."

After the opening remarks.

An Hong loudly said, "Let’s welcome Lin Yuan!"

Lin Yuan, steeling himself, took the script from Jin Mu and walked onto the stage.

The moment he stepped onto the stage.

All eyes were on him.

Lin Yuan glanced at the script and coughed:

"Hello everyone, I am Lin Yuan. Recently, a lot of news has been related to me, true or false, real or illusionary, let’s discuss them one by one. First, regarding the movie, the pre-sales for ’The Legend of 1900’ has currently reached 32.1 billion at the box office, successfully breaking the pre-sale record for movies on Blue Star..."

"Lin Yuan!"

A reporter below the stage laughed and said, "More than this, we would like you to first talk about the Shadow issue. In fact, our TV station is here for a live broadcast, and everything happening here can also be seen online, which is the most concerned topic for everyone."
