Our Virtual World Love Affair Chapter 5

Grace was also a little surprised. She wondered when this child suddenly came to her senses and could see it right away.

The comment he was referring to was exactly what Grace wanted to say.

【@winordie】: I’m going to say this now, it’s SC, and the official announcement will be made after a while. If it’s not him, I’ll go back and eat sh!t on live broadcast.

This comment is the most popular one, and there are nearly 700 replies below it, including fans who want to take my Cheng Cheng away, whistleblowers who want to expose the truth, and bystanders who don't know the truth.

Grace was not hiding it. "Although on the surface it seems that these marketing blogs are just promoting Chen Anping's new movie, there are many people who are trying to stir up trouble and make empty promises in the comments. It is obvious that Caleb's team has teamed up with the female fans to stir up the hype. I wanted to inquire about his audition yesterday, but the people in Nan Ke's crew were very tight-lipped and could not reveal any information."

Murphy thought of Caleb's sighing face and his two sweet dimples: "Maybe their team felt that it was almost certain, so they started promoting it on Weibo?"

Murphy asked this question just to avoid revealing his true identity in front of Grace. He had a plan in mind.

Caleb looked hopeless in front of him yesterday. If it was fake, why did he do it for Carter? To put pressure on him? Or to make Carter lower his guard against him? If it was real, then Caleb could not have joined the group based on the audition results. The only possibility was that there was someone behind the scenes pushing him.

According to Murphy's setting, there are three main investors in "Nan Ke", Shanda Guanghua, Xin Yao and Dingming Century.

Ironically, the reason why Caleb was unable to perform in "Nan Ke" in the original work was that Carter had financial support.

The only thing that can be confirmed now is that Caleb’s pusher and Carter’s are definitely not the same one.

Grace quickly denied Murphy's "hypothesis": "It's impossible. This kind of resource is unstable until the contract is signed. Besides, he is not the only one who performs well. He is so impatient. It should be that the capital is in place and he wants to test the waters."

After Grace finished speaking, she looked at Murphy, her expression seeming to want to say something but hesitated. Murphy knew how the plot was going to develop, and naturally knew what she was thinking. This feeling of having control over the script actually made him feel inappropriately happy.

"Sister Yun, what do you want to say?"

Seeing that he gave her a way out, Grace did not wait a moment to get out: "To put it bluntly, such film resources are hard to come by. They have already started to play the capital card. We can't just let it go." Seeing that Murphy did not speak, she continued, "Mr. Jiang Ming of Dingming Century, I have a dinner appointment. Let's go eat together after we finish work."

"I won't go." Murphy said these three words calmly without any tone of temper.

Grace was furious, but she lowered her voice, "What are you doing? You're acting like I'm a pimp. Mr. Jiang's daughter is a die-hard fan of yours since your debut. They also proposed this dinner. You don't need to do anything. Just have a meal with his daughter. I heard that Dingming Century's investment accounted for a large proportion, so they should have enough say."

Murphy still shook his head, "Sister Yun, I'm not being willful if I don't go. I have my own considerations. Just trust me this time."

There are many types of agents. Some are so good at planning that their artists are stunned. Some treat their artists as cash cows and try to squeeze every last drop of blood out of them. Some are like old mothers who worry about everything. To outsiders, Grace is the first type. In fact, only she knows that Grace is the last type. Murphy was unwilling, and Grace could not force him to do it no matter how much she sighed.

Murphy added, "Do you have Mr. Jiang's phone number? I'll call him and say sorry."

Grace's face was full of disappointment. He dialed the phone and threw it into Murphy's arms. Murphy took it and after he revealed his identity, the other party's attitude was very polite and friendly. Murphy apologized to General Jiang very solemnly, and especially thanked General Jiang's daughter, saying that he hoped to meet her backstage at the next concert and thank her in person.

The other party obviously did not expect things to unfold like this. He was stunned for a while. Although Murphy did not explicitly state the reason for his refusal, people working in the business world are all shrewd people. He laughed a few times and finally said, "My daughter's perspective on people is quite similar to mine."

After hanging up the phone, Murphy breathed a sigh of relief. He was not very good at this kind of official communication, but the result was not bad.

Grace covered her forehead with her hand, feeling the duck in her hand just fly away, "Do you know how important this opportunity is? This is Chen Anping's play, and the one I'm working with is Hayes."

"I know, but Sister Yun, if I really get into the group with the help of Ding Ming, what will happen next?"

Seeing that Grace did not answer, Murphy continued: "If you want to find out, you can definitely dig out the capital behind Caleb with your connections. Similarly, others can dig us out. Even if the relationship between Ding Ming and me is only based on a special fan, this is not what the public wants to see. Netizens want to see explosive news and want to see the plot of keeping a mistress. The truth is not important at all."

"You must want to say, no matter what, I'll just join the group and see what happens, but for an artist like me, with traffic, idol, many fans, and poor acting skills, these labels are hard to tear off."

Murphy said seriously, "I don't want to be labeled as a sponsor or brainwashed. My fans work hard to fight against the black fans every day."

The last sentence made Grace laugh. She didn't continue talking. She stood up with her bag, said a few words to other team members, and then left the studio.

Ava's voice appeared again: "Mr. Xu, do you really want to change the plot so drastically?"

Murphy: "Is it not possible? It's just like Xiuwen. I am a Xiuwen maniac."

Ava: "...It's not impossible, but the consequences are unpredictable."

Murphy: "It doesn't matter. Just mastering the relationships between the characters and some of the plot lines that have not been changed is already a big mistake."

Ava: You are really easy to satisfy.

However, Murphy was hiding what he said just now. In fact, his real purpose was still to fulfill his mission.

If you want to change Carter's ending, you must create a more positive image for him from the beginning. Although it is difficult for traffic stars to get rid of negative stereotypes in front of the public, it is safer to try to avoid things that may become "black material" in the future.

Furthermore, bringing money into the crew was the main reason why Hayes was cold and harsh towards Carter in the first half of the original work. In order to successfully complete the side quest, Murphy had to change this plot line. Even if he couldn't act with Hayes in the end, it was safer than hating him from the beginning.

Because he really couldn't guarantee that the character Carter he played could really change the other party's situation from extremely hating him to liking him.

Ava: "Mr. Xu, you really lack confidence in relationships."

Murphy was a little surprised, "Can you hear my heart?"

Ava: "Because I am your designated AI."

Murphy said "oh", he couldn't deny Ava's evaluation, he really lacked confidence, so he could be said to have been single all these years by his own merit.
