This top celebrity got drunk and acted crazy, and everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry bur

Chapter 11 "Seeking a Loan"! For you, I became a deadbeat! For you, I got hooked on loans!
The Weibo account was filled with laughter, while the Mushroom House trio suffered a complete defeat in this battle of #HeroesAgainstLu#.

Seeing that Teacher Huang was forced to shut down completely by Lü Ming's sarcastic remarks, and that the two pigeons seemed to have 'reconciled' with Lü Ming, people were amazed by Lü Ming's extraordinary talent, but they couldn't help but turn their attention to Sister Zheng.

At this moment, behind the screen.

After receiving treatment at the hospital, Ms. Zheng and her agent, who had already returned to their mansion, were both stunned.

The agent exclaimed in surprise, "Your ex-boyfriend is so good at talking back! Did you know about this before?"

"I've never been confronted, how would I know?" Sister Zheng was speechless, then became somewhat wary: "Teacher Huang and the others have fallen silent, would he still want to keep chasing the debt?"

As the two were talking, a notification sound from Sister Zheng's phone rang, indicating that she was particularly concerned about something.

That guy did come after all!

However, to the surprise of the two of them and everyone else, Lü Ming did not post a long essay this time, but instead posted a video.

People clicked on it out of curiosity.

Lu Ming appeared in the video, looking sad with red eyes and faint tear stains on his fair face, clearly having just cried.

As the background music of the classic song "Seeking Buddha" began to play, Lü Ming joined in with a cappella singing:
"The loan will be transferred to your card."

I think I'll change my appearance soon~

"There's a kind of pain that's like being torn apart; you'll understand once you've taken out a loan."

"Close your eyes, see the cola, it's an innocent life~"

"I hung up on countless debt collectors, chasing away the sadness brought by the loan."

Sister Zheng: "???"

broker:"!!!"

The two instantly realized there was a serious problem with the lyrics, but before they could react, they heard Lü Ming's singing suddenly become heart-wrenching, his voice cracking as he sang—

"For you—I've become a deadbeat!"

"I got hooked on loans because of you!"

"For you—I owe you so much money!"

"I had my house auctioned off for you!"

As Sister Zheng watched the man singing exaggeratedly on the screen, her mental defenses completely crumbled. Even as a girl, she couldn't help but blurt out the national treasure: "F*** you!"

"If this bastard had such talent, he should have focused on other areas earlier, or he would have suffered such a career collapse!" the manager cursed.

Lu Ming's voice rose again, and two lines of tears streamed down his face as he screamed in a thick, tearful voice:
"I've been begging the loan company for months to see if we can ever meet again!"

"I'm willing to exchange interest for my principal, hoping it will move you—baby~~~"

"Can we ever meet again? I've been begging outside the bank for months!"

"Let me see my treasure one last time before my loan defaults!"

"Let me see my baby one more time~~~"

Sister Zheng felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if ants were crawling inside her body. She felt so nauseous that she was on the verge of going crazy: "Bastard!"

The agent couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing!
She immediately realized something was wrong, quickly bit her lip, and looked at Sister Zheng to the side: "Sister, why aren't you smiling?"

"Is it that funny?" Sister Zheng said with a dark face, "If you want to change jobs, then keep laughing!"

The manager quickly shut up, but the video on her phone was still playing. Lü Ming had already entered the second chorus, and was screaming at the top of his lungs...

She bit her lip hard, while quickly going through the saddest things in her life in her mind. But listening to Lü Ming's unpretentious, purely emotional, and captivating singing, she couldn't hold back and burst out laughing again!
Sister Zheng: "..."

She locked her phone, then opened the window and flung it out!
Then, Sister Zheng quickly walked to the private pool and plunged into the water.

The manager was initially enjoying Lu Ming's revamped classic old song, bending over and laughing loudly. But when she went to the poolside to check and saw that Sister Zheng hadn't surfaced for a while, she immediately realized something was wrong.

"elder sister?"

"Are you swimming underwater? This pool is too big, I can't see you at all!"

"Holy crap! Sis, don't scare me like that!"

Under the agent's horrified gaze, in the deep end of the pool, Sister Zheng lay on the surface of the water and slowly floated up, making gurgling sounds as she choked on the water.

Holy crap!

"Damn you, you washed-up bastard, you killed Sister Zheng!"

……

……

Online.

As Lü Ming enters the 'third stage', netizens who have watched his latest video are laughing so hard they can't breathe, and the number of comments in the comment section is skyrocketing.

Oh my god, I can't take it anymore, this is hilarious!

[This is the first time I've ever seen a celebrity sing like this. Every single lyric is out of tune, there's not a single trace of professional technique, it's all pure, unadulterated emotion!]

Dude, that's so down-to-earth!

[A three-minute parody of "Seeking Buddha," with a 2-minute-42-second vocal off-key moment, made me laugh so hard I almost stopped...]

[Your heart-wrenching "baby" made my buddy laugh so hard he peed his pants! You owe me my pants!]

Who says there aren't good singers in the music industry?

[@Huayue, check out your artists!]

[He's a true genius at composing! Every line he utters is about Sister Zheng, without ever explicitly mentioning her; it's a blatant innuendo!]

[Oath: Remember to bring your crappy video to court!]

[I can't take it anymore, I'm totally hooked on "Seeking a Loan"! Can you upload the music from the internet? I want to listen to it on repeat ten times!]

[Amazing! A loan request from a cat!]

To be honest, I have to support this guy for showcasing his talent.

[@Sister Zheng: RNM, pay me back!]

[@Sister Zheng, look what you've done to my brother! If you don't pay him back, given his mental state, I have no doubt he might do something stupid.]

[Playing with memes is one thing, but Sister Zheng is really going too far. Hu Ming is trying to bring us joy while simultaneously speaking out for himself, even though his life is already a mess, he still wants to use his tragic experiences to create entertainment for his family. I can only say, this song has a really high artistic element!]

[He really made me cry to death! 】

【…】

While netizens were making fun of him, they also spoke up for Lü Ming.

Some fans, including "Bees" and "Meigeni", felt a strong connection to Lü Ming's unfortunate encounter with the wrong person after seeing him sing with tears streaming down his face in the video. They were especially sympathetic to the fact that the other person was an "ally".

While the fans left messages in the comments section to comfort Lü Ming, they also flocked to Sister Zheng's comments section to help urge her to pay back the debt. In some fan groups, the group admins even helped organize group members to launch a large-scale report and complaint against Sister Zheng.

Soon, Zheng Jie's personal Weibo account was frozen due to receiving too many reports!
The online sentiment has completely reversed!
The Weibo staff, who were worried for Lü Ming when Weibo crashed earlier, were all stunned when they saw this situation.

This unprecedented, massive online harassment was absolutely the most terrifying level of attention they had ever seen in their careers. But this thorny predicament, which made them feel chills just looking at it from behind the screen, was easily resolved by this kid in three short essays...

No, it shouldn't be called resolving, it should be called turning the tide!

"In my ten years in the industry, I have never seen such a brilliant PR case. This guy is the greatest PR professional I have ever seen!" The CEO of Weibo exclaimed sincerely as he looked at the platform's record-breaking daily active users: "Three heroes fighting Lu Bu, but Wu, Li, and Huang were defeated!"

……

……

Kiwifruit, Group Headquarters.

CEO Wang Gang was a fervent observer throughout the entire spectacle. After witnessing the end of this online bullying extravaganza, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "This kid is simply a born variety show genius!"

In a good mood, Wang Gang picked up the landline and made a phone call.

A short while later, the platform's marketing manager knocked on the door: "Mr. Wang, you wanted to see me."

Wang Gang nodded: "I heard you secured the live broadcast rights for that variety show that Jiangzhe TV brought in today?"

"Yes, Mr. Wang, the contract has been signed." Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly reported, "Mr. Wang, this variety show is adapted from Peninsula's 'Running Man,' which was a phenomenal show there. Jiangzhe TV has renamed it 'Running Man! Brothers!' I've seen the lineup they're preparing, and it's definitely going to be a hit!"

"While I can't say how much I'll earn, I'm certain I'll break even and make a small profit!"

"Yes, I've heard about it." Wang Gang nodded. "Have they finalized their guest stars for the first episode?"

"Not yet, but there are so many people vying for this gig. Right now, most of the Chinese entertainment industry is eyeing this lucrative opportunity, and some second-tier celebrities are even willing to pay extra to get on the premiere."

"In that case, the guest lineup for the first episode will be a four-person defense team. I want to generate a huge buzz during the live broadcast!"

The middle-aged man paused, "The four-person defense team?" Wang Gang thought for a moment, then changed his words, "Huka, Wu Qian, and Professor Huang."

"Let's forget about Li Changfeng. There are already rumors in the industry that the video of him soliciting prostitutes has been obtained by a rival agency. The two sides are still at odds, and if they can't reach an agreement, the whole thing will fall apart!"

"Are you sure the three of them won't fight, especially since it's on another show?" The middle-aged man was embarrassed. "Besides, with such a big live broadcast accident at Mushroom House, I'm afraid Jiangzhe TV won't allow it, right?"

"There shouldn't be a fight, right?" Wang Gang hesitated.

Now, Tencent Video next door is thriving, with hit variety shows and TV dramas being launched every two months. Kiwi's market share in the industry is being further squeezed. Although it is firmly in the second position among the three giants, as the group's CEO, he has a broad vision and a keen business sense.

If no measures are taken, regardless of what happens in the future, this year's annual report will shrink by at least 20%!

During this period, the platform's daily active users surged due to the #MushroomHouseIncident#, attracting a significant number of users from Tencent. As the number of VIP activations increased dramatically, he also received commendation from the board of directors.

Having tasted success, Wang Gang wanted to capitalize on the opportunity before Tencent could react and seize the massive traffic surge!
Thinking of his grand ambitions, Wang Gang's eyes suddenly hardened: "There's definitely no chance of a fight. Even if there is, it won't matter. These days, netizens love to see rivers of blood!"

"Don't worry about Jiangzhe TV. If there's an accident during the live broadcast, they can just cut it out during their broadcast, right?"

As online video platforms enter a three-way competition, the three platforms are going to great lengths to attract new users. Live variety shows are currently the hottest segment. Compared to traditional TV variety shows, which need to be edited before airing, they directly intervene in the footage during the recording of the program for live streaming!
Playing is real!

Although doing so will have some impact on the ratings when the TV station broadcasts it later, the high price offered by the three giants is irresistible.

"Mr. Wang, what about the appearance fee for someone who's not a big star..."

"Give it the highest standard of top-tier celebrities!"

"what?"

"He's like a dish of vinegar. The reason we invited Teacher Huang and Wu Qian was because of this dish of vinegar that made these dumplings. Do you understand?"

"I think I understand."

"Then get on it quickly. If there are any obstacles, report to me immediately!"

After the marketing manager left, Wang Gang sat alone at his desk, lost in thought: "I hope I didn't make the wrong bet."

……

in the apartment.

Xiaoya was pacing anxiously back and forth in her room when a series of urgent knocks on the door made her expression change slightly.

A man's cursing voice came from outside the door: "Open the door, you bastard, open the door for me!"

Xiaoya opened the door, at a loss.

Upon seeing Xiaoya, Song Zhe launched into a tirade of abuse: "Is this how you apologize? Is this how he apologizes to people? Do you even know how much trouble this nobody has caused?!"

"He's finished, you're finished, you're all finished!"

Xiaoya: "..."

Lu Ming came out of the room at this moment, his eyes were glazed and his face was flushed, he was already deeply drunk.

"Well, you beast, you've caused such a huge mess, and you still dare to hide at home drinking like this, completely drunk. Do you even care about me or the company anymore?!"

Snapped! ! !
A loud slap brought the middle-aged man's cursing to an abrupt halt.

Xiaoya gasped and covered her mouth, her watery eyes filled with disbelief.

A bright red and clear handprint appeared on Song Zhe's face. He exclaimed in disbelief, "You...you dare to slap me?!"

"If you keep barking, I'll beat you to death, do you believe me?" Lu Ming said calmly.

Now it was Song Zhe's turn to be dumbfounded.

He had never been slapped in the face before, nor had he ever been offended by a subordinate. Now, a nobody under his command dared to slap him in public.
Enraged, Song Zhe was about to jump up and retaliate, but seeing Lü Ming, who was a whole head taller than him, raise his arm again, he merely jumped once: "I don't bother with a drunkard!"

"But you must immediately issue a public apology to Teacher Huang, Wu Qian, and Li Changfeng!"

Lü Ming: "How long did you stay in an incubator after you were born?"

Song Zhe: "?!"

"I've never lived in an incubator!"

"That shouldn't be the case." Lu Ming was taken aback, then suddenly realized, "Oh, I see, then your mother must have given birth to you at six months!"

"You...you...you f***ing..." Song Zhe stammered in anger.

This guy's insults are so vulgar!
Leaving aside the insults he'd exchanged over the phone, now face-to-face, this kid showed absolutely no regard for the superior-subordinate relationship, his undisguised aggression leaving him completely bewildered.

"Brother Zhe, please don't mind him, Brother Ming has had too much to drink..." Xiaoya quickly tried to smooth things over.

Upon hearing this, Song Zhe became even more furious: "So what if you're drunk? Does being drunk give you the right to disrespect your superiors? Does being drunk give you the right to swear? Seriously, if it weren't for your incoherent behavior, I would have blacklisted an artist like you long ago!"

Lu Ming looked impatient and prepared to walk towards the kitchen.

Song Zhe spotted the kitchen knife on the cutting board immediately and quickly called out, "Stop right there!"

"Let me reason with you properly. None of Teacher Huang and the others are people you, a nobody, can afford to offend. Apologize to them right now, and I can guarantee you'll be fine. Otherwise, no one in the Chinese entertainment industry can save you!"

Lü Ming replied matter-of-factly:
"Don't you go online? I just apologized to them, and they accepted it readily. Everyone got along well, it was a win-win situation, what a great result."

Song Zhe: "..."

"You call those sarcastic, cryptic little essays apologies?"

"Where's the sarcastic tone? People with heart conditions see everything as dirty. If you're going to overinterpret things, then there's nothing I can do." Lu Ming said dismissively, "The people involved, Professor Huang and the others, haven't come forward again yet. Doesn't that mean the misunderstanding has been cleared up?"

"You ride on the horse..."

Snapped! ! !
The solid slap left Song Zhe, who had been spewing profanities, completely stunned.

Xiaoya was equally bewildered.

Brother Ming, this is... too fierce!
"Song Zhe, I'm warning you, don't fucking mess with me! I don't like dealing with people who have no integrity!" Lu Ming's eyes were icy cold. "Also, don't order me around like that. I don't owe you anything. On the contrary, the company still owes me a year's worth of appearance fees!"

Song Zhe's eyes were filled with stars. There was a handprint on his left cheek and another on his right. His cheeks were red and looked strangely symmetrical.

"You're finished, you're a complete mess, you're finished!"

"From this moment on, you are blacklisted!"

"You will never get another gig or receive a single penny from now on. I'm telling you, your career in the entertainment industry is over!"

"Just wait to pay the penalty for breach of contract!"

Song Zhe roared in fury, then turned around without hesitation. From an angle where Lü Ming and Xiao Ya couldn't see, two lines of tears slid down his cheeks.

He swore that he had never suffered such an injustice in his life.

humiliation!

What an utter humiliation!

After Song Zhe left, Xiao Ya looked worried: "Brother Ming, we might really be doomed..."

“From now on, when you see Song Zhe, don’t be too polite to him. This kind of person doesn’t deserve our respect.” Lu Ming grinned.

Xiaoya's beautiful eyebrows furrowed into a knot: "Do we even have a future?"

Do you know what's most important in the entertainment industry?

Xiaoya didn't know why Lü Ming suddenly asked this, but she still honestly answered, "Status?"

"No, it's about popularity! Even if you're a movie star, without popularity and good works, no one will care."

"But what does this have to do with us?"

"Wait, you mean?!"

Xiaoya's watery eyes were full of surprise: "Brother Ming, you're so popular right now. Even though you have no acting skills and your singing is terrible, and you're basically out of the music and drama industry, there are still many variety shows that need you to generate buzz!"

Lu Ming tapped Xiaoya on the head: "Your swearing is pretty awful!"

"Hehe, you become like the company you keep, it's all thanks to Brother Ming's good teaching!" Xiaoya stuck out her tongue.

Not long after, Song Zhe, who had been cursing and threatening to blacklist someone, returned looking dejected.

This time, he carried two colorful fruit baskets and knocked on the door again. He didn't yell or swear like before, and when he entered, he was unusually polite and well-behaved.

"Haven't seen you for a little while, did you go out to have sex reassignment surgery?"
