Chapter 334: Everyone Wants to Act In A Movie
“Mu Li’ang? You’re Mu Li’ang!” Ju Jie suddenly jolted and looked at Yang Yi in surprise.
Mu Li’ang is actually Mo Fei’s man?
That makes sense, no wonder he could write twelve songs for Mo Fei unprecedentedly!
Yang Yi wanted Ju Jie to know his identity. He smiled faintly and said, “It seems you’re quite smart after all! But as someone who is smart, you should also understand that since I can lift you up, I also have the capability to bring you back down to where you started.”
“The record of our previous transaction is still there. If necessary, I’m willing to forgo the money and even my reputation as Mu Li’ang. I’ll sue you to regain the copyright of the song. What do you think the judge will rule?” Yang Yi threatened in a low voice.
There was no need to guess. It was certain that the copyright would be returned to Yang Yi. The copyright protection in this world was very strict. There was a similar case before where a songwriter sued a singer, claiming to have been deceived into selling the song, but he didn’t know that the copyright was also sold. So, the judge confiscated the money from this illegal transaction and returned the copyright to the original author.
They claim to have been deceived, but in fact it was a transaction. However, who could really tell if it was? Maybe after selling it, they felt that they had lost out and pretended not to know!
Of course, once this matter was made public, even if Yang Yi got back the copyright of “Mistress”, he wouldn’t get any benefits, and even Mu Li’ang’s reputation would fall drastically and be despised. It could be said that it was a lose-lose situation.
This was definitely not worth it, and it would affect Mo Fei. Yang Yi just wanted to scare Ju Jie.
But Ju Jie believed it, and he was afraid.
They had considered the consequences before they bought the song. However, he and Du Lun felt that Mu Li’ang cherished his reputation and would not turn against them. But now it seemed that Yang Yi was very crazy! He even dared to kill him, so how could he not do this small matter?
Turning him from a highly watched star into a despised figure would indeed be worse for Ju Jie than being killed. Going from frugality to extravagance is easy, but going from extravagance to frugality is hard. Now that Ju Jie was accustomed to the limelight of being a star, he was also afraid of losing it.
“I’ve said I dare not provoke Sister Mo Fei again in the future, what else do you want?” Ju Jie couldn’t help it anymore and started crying like a little wife in grievance, “At worst, I’ll pay you back. Don’t kill me or take away this song. It’s not easy for me to become popular…”
It was quite heartbreaking… Those who listen to it would feel sad, while those who hear it would shed tears.
“Now you’re scared? Why didn’t you just sing your song peacefully before? Always thinking about some crooked ways?” Yang Yi was secretly happy in his heart. It was just as he had imagined.
Ju Jie sobbed and said, “I just wanted to top the charts once…”
Yang Yi’s tone eased a bit as he said, “If you want to top the charts, you still need time to build your reputation. If you think you can become a legend with one song, you think too simply of the entertainment circle.”
“Originally, I thought you were quite interesting. I was even considering writing another song for you to make you popular again! But looking at your performance, I’m really disappointed!” Yang Yi finally revealed his intentions.
“Really? You’re going to write another song for me?” Despite all that Yang Yi had said, Ju Jie only heard this one sentence. He stopped crying and looked at Yang Yi in surprise.
Mu Liang’s songs were truly divine, and now that Ju Jie has seen Chen Yi Jie, Mo Fei, and his own achievements, he has developed a kind of blind admiration for Mu Li’ang.
One song, “Mistress,” made him popular. If there was another one, wouldn’t it be like ascending to heaven?
“Do you think that’s possible? You’ve almost provoked me to the point of wanting to kill you!” Yang Yi chuckled.
“I can change! I can make up for it! I’ll go back and Immediately tell my aunt, um, that is, Sister Ling not to trouble Mo Fei anymore, and I promise I won’t think about these crooked things in the future.” Ju Jie quickly said.
His behavior now was like a primary school student who had done something wrong and was begging his mother for another chance.
“That’s not enough! I need you to be my eyes and ears in Tianmei. If there’s any slightest sign of trouble directed at Mo Fei, you have to inform me!” Yang Yi looked into his eyes and said.
“You can rest assured about this. Not to mention informing you, if anyone dares to touch our Sister Mo Fei’s finger, I will be the first to disagree!” Ju Jie twisted on the pillar and promised somewhat excitedly, “My father has shares in Tianmei, no one dares not to listen to what I say!”
Now, Ju Jie had switched sides and aligned himself with Mo Fei’s camp, all for the sake of “Mu Liang’s” song.
What is backbone? Ju Jie had never seen it.
Yang Yi was amused in his heart. Originally, he had casually mentioned that this guy was interesting, but now it seemed that there was actually something to it. In this way, he might indeed be a potential asset.
“By doing this, can you write a song for me?” Ju Jie timidly looked at Yang Yi and asked.
Yang Yi remained silent, then suddenly brandished the knife and swung it towards Ju Jie. Amidst his frightened ghostly cries, the rope that bound him broke, and he fell down like a butterfly.1
Ju Jie closed his eyes for a while and screamed for a while before he realized that he was fine and could move. He felt his body and found nothing missing. Then he looked at Yang Yi with lingering fear.
“Merely talking without taking action won’t do. Whether I’ll continue writing songs for you or not depends on your future performance,” Yang Yi smoothly put the knife back into its sheath and said lightly.
“Don’t worry, Mu Li’ang… Big brother, just watch! I will definitely perform well and ensure that no one can touch Sister Mo Fei!” Ju Jie patted his chest.
……
The intrigues and scheming were actually quite exhausting, and Yang Yi didn’t like this side of himself.
Fortunately, in the afternoon, when he picked up Xixi, the innocent smile of the little girl blew away the gloom in Yang Yi’s heart.
“Papa! Papa! I have something big to tell you!” The little girl hugged her father’s neck and whispered in her father’s ear.
A sincere smile appeared on Yang Yi’s face: “What big thing?”
“Me, Chen Shiyun, Xin’er, Qiqi, and Nan Zhaoyu are going to act in a movie!” Xixi counted the names on her fingers and said.
“Ah? Why do you all want to act in a movie? What movie?” Yang Yi raised his eyebrows.
Could it be that there’s some short-sighted boy daring to deceive my daughter? The knife is still hidden in the trunk!
“It’s Papa’s movie!” Xixi said as if it were obvious, “Chen Shiyun, Xin’er, Qiqi, and Nan Zhaoyu all like to act in movies. Hehe, I also want to act in a movie, and we all want to act in Papa’s movie!”
It seemed that the little girl didn’t have any concept of rules. In her view, acting in a movie was as simple as eating and drinking. There was no need for any audition. She could just come and act.
“Who told you that you can act in Papa’s movie?” Yang Yi was confused by his daughter’s logic.
“No one! I told them! Acting in movies is super fun!” Xixi looked at her father innocently and said.
At this moment, Lan Xin had already jumped over and said, “Uncle Yang, I want to act in a movie with you!”
So, it has turned into acting in a movie with him? The way children understand things was really strange!
“It’s not possible to act in a movie with uncle. Uncle is not acting in a movie.” Yang Yi said with a headache.
“Hehe, Xin’er, you are going to act in a movie with me!” Xixi looked down from her father’s arms and said with a smile.
“Okay then, I’ll act in a movie with Xixi.” Lan Xin, with thoughts of delicious food in her mind, licked her lips and asked hopefully, “Uncle Yang, can we?”
How could that be possible? There were no child roles in his micro-movie. Where could he squeeze these children into? And if he randomly changed the script, Du Yuanlei would not be willing!
Yang Yi had a sudden idea and said: “This is not yet possible, you have to ask your dad first. Only if your dad agrees, then it can be done.”
“My dad?” Lan Xin tilted her little head and thought for a moment. She pulled Yang Yi’s hand and pleaded, “Then Uncle Yang, can you call my dad and ask him if it’s okay? He’s not at home again.”
TN: On the second part of the chapter, the translation could either be “act in a movie” or “make a movie”, since this is the continuation of Chapter 330 where Xixi talked about what it’s like making a movie and how it’s similar to what they did in the play “The Ugly Duckling”, which is basically acting. It could also be translated as “Be in a movie” but this is similar to “act in a movie”. This also applies to the next chapter.
