When Fang Zhao surfaced and safely boarded the boat, a diver asked him, "What were you doing?"
"Looking for inspiration," Fang Zhao replied.
The diver was silent for a moment before he understood.
Artists "went crazy" not because they were crazy, but because they were looking for inspiration.
Tan Min was curious. "Were you listening to sounds?" Otherwise, why would you deliberately expose your ears?
"Yes, I heard some sounds."
Fang Zhao was in a good mood. He already had a lot of inspiration. After changing into his diving suit, he greeted everyone and left with his notebook. No matter how curious Tan Min was, he didn't dare disturb Fang Zhao.
Watching Fang Zhao leave, another diver shook his head. "What can you hear underwater?"
Is he out of his mind?
But when he recalled Fang Zhao's nickname, he felt that this whole thing was a little mysterious. Perhaps he really could hear sounds that normal people couldn't? After all, his ears were known as "Diting" and "God's ears."
The diver who had gone in earlier slapped his thigh. "I forgot to ask him where he learned to dive!"
"Is that kid good at diving?"
"I think he is. He encountered a strong current with upwelling and downwelling, but the kid didn't get washed away. He was very calm and didn't panic at all. He didn't do any worse than us. I just want to know where he learned to dive."
"This name sounds familiar. Other than acting and composing, did this kid serve in the army before? I think I heard that name in the military news. "
"Now that you mention it, I think I've heard it before, but it's been too long. I can't remember who it is. Let me search."
Fang Zhao didn't know what the others on the boat were talking about him. At the moment, he was writing notes after notes in his notebook. When the song was completed, he would include it in his second concert.
After the Period of Destruction, many marine life had been wiped out and new species had been born, but overall, the damage had been severe. Not to mention the beautiful scenery.
What he had seen in the sea this time was even more profound than what he had seen in the aquarium. The feeling of returning to life was even stronger. This was one of the reasons he was willing to support Tan Min. Aside from the script, Fang Zhao could also see that Tan Min truly loved these waters.
People who lived in this era did not have a deep understanding, but Fang Zhao was different. If Tan Min could convey his feelings for these waters and his desire to protect them, what harm would there be in investing a little more money?
Fang Zhao didn't follow the research institute's ship all the way. The space on the ship was limited, and it was impossible for them to prepare a room for him to compose in. Thus, when Fang Zhao came across a plaza on the water, he changed directions.
It was a square floating on the water. In addition to some small shops selling food and drinks, there was also a swimming pool and a fishing area. Every year, many tourists came here to fish.
Recently, because of the Film and Television Festival, many tourists had gone to the big island, so there were fewer people here. Looking around, there were only a small group of young people playing there.
"They are all rich kids who don't have to worry about food and clothing. This is the third time this year. You should stay away from them. These people like to stir up trouble whenever they see a celebrity," a diver told Fang Zhao.
After researching more information on Fang Zhao, the people on the boat had a better understanding of Fang Zhao. Before Fang Zhao disembarked, they asked for his autograph and enthusiastically recommended the best fishing spot for him.
Tan Min also stayed behind. He had to keep an eye on Fang Zhao. After all, Fang Zhao was his biggest supporter.
As a local, Tan Min was familiar with the operation of this sort of maritime plaza. He let Fang Zhao take a seat and went to handle the paperwork. It was easy for Tan Min, but it was Fang Zhao's first time, so it was a little more complicated. The institute had strict requirements for first-time visitors, so the procedures were a little more complicated.
Fang Zhao was just about to sit down when he heard someone call out to him.
"Eh? Is that Fang Zhao? "
"It really is Fang Zhao! Hey, Fang Zhao! Come over and join us! "
"Tell us how you wrote the four movements of the '100-Year Period of Destruction.'"
Tan Min noticed the commotion and frowned. He was debating whether to go over and help when Fang Zhao gestured to him.
Fang Zhao told Tan Min not to worry about the paperwork and to just handle the paperwork. He walked over to the group of young people.
"Hey, Fang Zhao, about the Hull virus that was reported a while back, I just want to know why your '100-Year Period of Destruction' can cure diseases!" a young man wearing sunglasses asked loudly.
"I don't know why it can cure diseases. You'll have to ask the medical professionals," Fang Zhao replied with a smile.
Fang Zhao wasn't the type to bicker with these youngsters over their attitude.
During the Period of Destruction, no one had dared speak to Fang Zhao this way. However, troubled times had their own rules, and prosperous times had their own ways of living. Fang Zhao naturally wasn't going to use the standards of the Period of Destruction to judge them.
To Tan Min and the others, these youngsters looked like spoiled brats, but Fang Zhao had observed them for a short while. Although they spoke casually and had a bit of a mischievous sense of humor, they didn't have any real ill intentions.
"What were you guys talking about? I thought I heard you mention a great white shark? "Fang Zhao asked.
"Yeah, we were just talking about whether we could encounter a great white shark here." A baby-faced boy with a straw in his mouth adjusted his sun hat. "I heard someone found one, but not in this part of the ocean. It's just a rumor. Some people say it's fake news. They say that great white sharks are already extinct. Other than those that are artificially bred, they can't be found in other parts of the ocean. "
A younger boy waved his fishing rod and retorted, "It's true. Someone took a photo!"
"Many species that were deemed extinct in recent years have been photographed."
"Anyway, I don't want to encounter a great white shark. It's the king of the ocean!"
"Bullsh * t. Have you watched too many movies? A great white shark is so small. How old is it in terms of body size? I can kill one with a single punch! "
"Stop bragging, Fang Zhao!"
"Hey, Fang Zhao, I hear you're good at history. Do you think great white sharks were the best in the Old Era?"
Fang Zhao had been smiling as he watched the group discuss. When he heard the question, he replied, "I don't know who was the best. Let me tell you a story. It's a story I read when I was researching Old Era history."
On the other side, Tan Min was still worried. He rushed the people in the plaza to complete the paperwork and rushed over. He found that the youngsters who had been arguing were all staring at Fang Zhao in a daze. They had no idea what Fang Zhao was talking about. The little boy who had been fishing didn't even notice that his rod had fallen into the water.
"Really?" a waiter muttered.
Hearing the waiter's muttering, Tan Min asked, "What were they talking about?"
"Telling a story."
"What story?"
"The one about two killer whales encountering a great white shark. They chased it, flipped it over, and took a few bites. They didn't think it tasted good, so they tossed it around for fun."
Tan Min: "... What about now?"
"Now we're talking about a killer whale that was having fun outside and encountered a great white shark. The other party was too big and too strong, so it couldn't beat it, so it summoned the other killer whales nearby and surrounded the great white shark!"
Tan Min: "... Move over." I'll listen in for a bit.

While Fang Zhao was telling the story to the group of youngsters, many people were looking for Fang Zhao online.
Usually, when it came to the entertainment industry, it was always about someone having an affair or someone collapsing their public persona. It was boring. This was the film festival, and the celebrities there were showing off the scenery and the red carpet. It was not much different from previous years. Only a few well-known entertainment reporters released something interesting. However, after two days of watching, a portion of the netizens felt that there was nothing new and started looking for more.
"Where's Fang Zhao? Fang Zhao also went to Corale. Where is he? Have the entertainment reporters gone to bed? "
"This year's entertainment reporters are bad. None of the ones who wanted to see it."
In a hotel on Corale Island, Wang Tie scanned the comments online. He ignored the few that mentioned Fang Zhao and pretended he hadn't seen them.
His communications device rang. Wang Tie answered.
"Old Wang, you're so mean! You've been snatching too much news lately, haven't you? " The person on the other end of the line was furious. They had dug up a few pieces of news, but Wang Tie was always one step ahead. This way, the news others had painstakingly dug up wasn't worth much. In the eyes of outsiders, they were just following the trend and picking up Wang Tie's leftovers. It was extremely sullen.
"I know you're the paparazzi king in Yanzhou, but can't you give more to old friends like us?" the person on the other end asked Wang Tie.
As Wang Tie categorized the information he had gathered today, he replied, "I released it. I already said that I won't be following Fang Zhao anymore. He is a popular figure now. If you can dig up any secret news about him, it will be enough for you guys to make a fortune."
"Fang Zhao is too hard to follow! And he's not even on the main island! "
"I can't do anything about that. I've already given you guys a chance." Wang Tie was in a bad mood at the mention of Fang Zhao.
"Hehe."
"Don't f * cking 'hehe' with me. I hate that word! Hehe! Spit it out! "
"Hehe."
"..." Wang Tie wanted to hit someone.
"Old Wang, just do us a favor. After all, we're old classmates. Just leak some news to us. We want big news. Don't mess with the small shrimps. Or you can tell me where Fang Zhao is now. I just asked the people we sent to that small island. They didn't see Fang Zhao today. I don't know where he went. This guy is too good at hiding."
