The Watcher of the Entertainment Industry

The next day, around 8 PM.

The outskirts of Jiangrong, Muren Mountain.

This place was usually deserted, so quiet you couldn't even hear birds chirping.

However, no one would have guessed that a wooden cabin stood atop one of its majestic and beautiful peaks.

At this moment, the "Sky Screen" trio was inside the cabin.

"Brother Mu, I've received over ten orders these past two days, all asking us to investigate Feng Bingbing's confession target!"

"Brother Mu, I have seven or eight orders too, sigh."

Fat Tiger and A Hen were reporting their recent work situation to Lin Mu.

This wooden cabin was Sky Screen's secret base. It not only served as a place for the three of them to discuss important matters but also hid many secrets about celebrities.

Tonight, Lin Mu had summoned Fat Tiger and A Hen, saying he wanted to discuss an important topic regarding a future career transition.

However, before the discussion could begin, Fat Tiger and A Hen started complaining.

They had received many orders these past few days concerning "Feng Bingbing's confession target," with some even offering exorbitant prices.

Both were tempted. Given Brother Mu's relationship with Feng Bingbing, wouldn't it be easy to get information out of her?

But Brother Mu had said the job couldn't be taken, and even if they tried, they wouldn't find anything. So, they had to reluctantly refuse these almost-secured big orders.

Zhang Hen, unwilling to believe it and afraid of being beaten to it by competitors, went to investigate himself for two days.

The result? He truly found nothing.

"A Hen, you useless piece of trash. If I had taken the job, even if I couldn't find the main person, I'd at least get some clues, right?"

Fat Tiger sat on a stool, his short, stubby legs resting on the table, a cigarette in his mouth, mocking Zhang Hen.

"You know nothing!"

Zhang Hen, who was handsome but sported a full beard, glared at Fat Tiger and said coldly:

"I didn't just investigate men who know Feng Bingbing in the industry; I also investigated her male classmates from university, middle school, elementary school, and even kindergarten."

Fat Tiger waved his hand: "And the result?"

Zhang Hen was momentarily speechless, then said dejectedly, "Not a single one met the criteria of being both Feng Bingbing's childhood classmate and her university classmate."

Fat Tiger chuckled, took his legs off the table, and his plump body jiggled:

"That's why you're stupid. You only investigated the men, didn't you think to investigate the women?"

Zhang Hen's eyes widened: "You mean... Feng Bingbing's confession target is actually a woman?"

"Shut up!" Lin Mu's voice was sharp.

Seeing their boss's displeased expression, Fat Tiger and Zhang Hen quickly fell silent.

They exchanged glances, both a little confused.

Why was Brother Mu suddenly angry?

Lin Mu looked at the two of them, feeling a headache coming on.

As a grown man, to be called a woman, who wouldn't be angry?

Cough, cough. He cleared his throat, took out two black bags from his backpack, and threw one to each of them.

Fat Tiger and Zhang Hen caught them and looked up at Lin Mu: "Brother Mu, why are you giving us so much money out of the blue?"

Each bag contained twenty stacks of cash, with one hundred bills per stack. That's twenty thousand per person.

Yesterday, Liu Qiang had transferred sixty thousand to Lin Mu as a thank-you and hush money. Today, Lin Mu had gone to several banks to withdraw it all.

A paparazzi's professional ethics: try not to use transfers for splitting money to avoid being traced.

Sixty thousand, twenty thousand each.

Zhang Hen asked in surprise, "Brother Mu, we haven't taken any big jobs lately, have we?"

Fat Tiger chuckled and reached for Zhang Hen's bag: "Don't want it? Give it to me."

Zhang Hen kicked him, and the little fatty dodged nimbly.

Lin Mu coughed, and the two stopped messing around.

Lin Mu looked at them and slowly said, "Do you know where this money came from?"

They shook their heads obediently.

Lin Mu continued, "Liu Qiang gave it to us."

"Liu Qiang? Didn't he want to force Brother Mu to sell him songs at a low price? How did he end up giving you so much money?" Fat Tiger exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Mu then recounted the entire incident, concluding with:

"Liu Qiang is grateful that we helped him save his family. So, this sixty thousand is the reward we deserve for doing a good deed. Do you feel that taking this money is justifiable and makes you feel good?"

Actually, Liu Qiang's situation had given Lin Mu a lot of inspiration.

He originally intended to shut down the "Sky Screen" gradually and enter the entertainment industry with Fat Tiger and A Hen to clean up their image.

But after the incident with Liu Qiang, Lin Mu felt that the "Sky Screen" was actually very necessary.

However, it needed to operate differently.

No longer could they be reckless and unscrupulous, with no bottom line, caring only about money.

That would be earning money against their conscience.

They would face retribution one day.

The original host being replaced by his Earth counterpart was proof of that.

The "Sky Screen" was like a terrifying beast; if allowed to run wild, it would only harm itself and others.

But if this beast were leashed and governed by rules, even if they earned less money, they wouldn't face backlash in the future.

Moreover, if he was going to be in the entertainment industry, he wouldn't be defenseless against people like Liu Qiang who tried to use their status to pressure others.

Therefore, the "Sky Screen" could continue to exist.

The premise was that they couldn't cross moral lines and must operate within the bounds of societal rules as much as possible.

Next, Lin Mu explained his intentions to the two in the simplest terms possible.

More than ten minutes later, Lin Mu finally concluded his important speech, summarizing:

"Comrades, times have changed. The paparazzi methods of the old world are no longer viable. We must keep up with the times, follow the trend, and become righteous paparazzi of the new era!

No, we are not paparazzi; we are guardians of the entertainment industry. Our duty is to supervise artists who neglect their professions and fail to adhere to professional ethics, and, incidentally, to gain our due compensation from it.

This is the transformation direction for our Sky Screen!

Come, everyone, shine the light of righteousness on the public screen!"

Clap clap clap!

He started clapping himself after speaking.

Then, silence fell in the wooden house.

Fat Tiger was dumbfounded. He scratched his chubby face and asked, "Brother Mu, what do you mean by 'guardians of the entertainment industry'?"

A Hen also frowned, pondering, "Righteous paparazzi of the new era?"

Lin Mu couldn't explain it clearly to them for the moment.

In fact, even he himself had been in a state of confusion for the past two days.

The original host, completely blackened by the harsh realities of society, and a top student from Earth's premier music conservatory, these two vastly different lives had merged into one body due to the same incredibly handsome face.

This made Lin Mu unsure if he was the heartless paparazzi or the future star of the Central Conservatory of Music.

So, perhaps the "Sky Screen" was an opportunity for him to prove and understand himself.

In any case, he would try it this way for now.

As long as he didn't get confessed to by any junior or female colleague again.

Whether on Earth or in this world, there was only one type of person who was the most dangerous--

Women!

"Don't overthink it. Just follow me!"

Lin Mu waved his hand grandly at Fat Tiger and Zhang Hen.

"Okay, as long as I can continue to follow Brother Mu."

Zhang Hen nodded.

"No problem, hehe, as long as there's money to be made."

Fat Tiger grinned and agreed.

Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief. With these two guys settled, many things would be easier in the future.

"Alright, to celebrate the successful transformation of the Sky Screen, I'll treat you to skewers!"

"Great! After skewers, we'll go to the bar to pick up girls!"

"Fatty, shut up!"

The three of them left the wooden house, laughing and joking, and drove down Muren Mountain. Fat Tiger excitedly chattered about how attractive the girls he picked up last time were, while A Hen quietly looked out the window.

Back in the city, they arrived at a familiar skewer stall. Fatty ordered a hundred skewers of kidney, a hundred skewers of lamb, and two dozen beers.

The three ate and drank heartily. Suddenly, Fat Tiger asked, "Brother Mu, you're participating in the top 100 competition for Pure Voice next month. Jiangrong Satellite TV is keeping the mentors' identities very secret this time.

Do you want to find out who the four mentors are in advance? If we have any dirt on them, hehehe, we can make them guarantee you win the championship!"
