Chapter 164 "Asian King", Hunan TV's Invitation
"Ziyi!"
Meanwhile, Meng Ziyi, who was filming "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" on the edge of the desert, suddenly received a slightly sour phone call from her boss.
For Jia Shikai, seeing those online comments only filled him with jealousy and envy.
Although the majority of the traffic and popularity of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" was taken by Lü Ming and Gulnazar after some behind-the-scenes footage was released, the supporting actors and extras such as Meng Ziyi and Zhang Songwen still gained a lot of attention.
It should be noted that apart from a few fans, most people knew nothing about Meng Ziyi.
Now, with her selection for the "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" series and her role as a supporting actress with some screen time, coupled with her interactions with Lü Ming and Gulnazar in the behind-the-scenes footage, her popularity has skyrocketed, with her Weibo followers increasing by hundreds of thousands.
Don't be fooled by the fact that these few hundred thousand followers are not much compared to Sister Meng's more than two million.
But you should know that, apart from perverts like Lü Ming, almost every celebrity's Weibo followers constantly use the app.
The vast majority of Meng Ziyi's two million Weibo followers were inflated by her company; at most, only one or two tenths were real. But the hundreds of thousands of followers that have suddenly increased are all real people.
Although he was happy about Meng Ziyi's rising popularity, Jia Shikai couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Back then, Dilraba was one thing, since no one knew that Lü Ming would suddenly become a sensation, and that "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" would propel Dilraba to A-list status.
But Nazha is different. Almost everyone in the industry watched as Lü Ming single-handedly transformed Nazha, who had just entered the second tier and didn't have many acting skills or works, into what she is today.
Even before "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" was finished filming and released, Gulnazar's popularity was already approaching that of a top-tier actress.
If we wait until "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" is released and becomes a huge hit, wouldn't that be incredible?
Thinking about this, Jia Shikai couldn't help but fantasize: if Lü Ming had chosen Meng Ziyi instead of Nazha, would Nazha's current craze belong to Meng Ziyi from their company?
In addition, Jia Shikai is now paying more and more attention to Meng Ziyi.
If Jia Shikai had only paid a little attention to Meng Ziyi before, now, after seeing Nazha's crazy behavior, he couldn't help but have some fantasies.
If Meng Ziyi could get closer to Lü Ming, would she have a chance to be like Gulnazar in the future?
You should know that Jia Shikai's company is not even comparable to Jiaxing, let alone Sugarman.
If a top-tier actress could emerge from this industry, it would be like a golden opportunity falling from the sky for Jia Shikai's company.
Jia Shikai called today to comfort Meng Ziyi, express his concern for her, and subtly hint that he hoped she could get closer to Lü Ming.
As for the scandals that female celebrities fear most, Jia Shikai doesn't care at all.
If it were other male celebrities, Jia Shikai might be a little worried, since a scandal is never a good thing for a female celebrity.
However, if the target is Lü Ming, then there's nothing more to say.
Just look at Dilraba and Gulnazar now. Since their rumors and on-screen couple status with Lü Ming were exposed, their popularity and buzz have not only not decreased, but have actually increased.
"Boss, I know!"
Hearing her boss's veiled words on the other end of the phone, Meng Ziyi naturally understood the meaning behind his words and nodded helplessly.
To be honest, it would be a blatant lie to say that Meng Ziyi had no feelings for Lü Ming.
If Meng Ziyi previously only thought Lü Ming was handsome and had a unique personality, after working with him, she now admires him even more.
You know, when watching Lü Ming film, his serious demeanor often makes Meng Ziyi admire him so much that she can't take her eyes off him.
Although Meng Ziyi may have some affection for Lü Ming, she couldn't help but feel inferior when she looked at her own situation.
She wasn't even a second-tier female celebrity, let alone compared to Gulnazar and Dilraba, she couldn't even compare to those female stars who directly expressed their love for Lü Ming online, so how could she be worthy of Lü Ming?
Although online discussions about the intimate interactions between Lü Ming and Gulnazar continue, the entire filming crew of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" has not been significantly affected, and filming continues smoothly.
In the following period, as Nazha and Meng Ziyi gradually got into the swing of things, the filming progressed much faster.
That day, Lu Ming had just finished filming and sat down to rest when he found that Nazha and Meng Ziyi, who were usually around him, seemed to have disappeared and could not be found at all. Even the usually lively film crew seemed to be much quieter.
"What's going on lately? I haven't seen anyone around."
After picking up an apple from the table next to him and taking a big bite, Lü Ming asked Lu Hao, who was sitting in a chair next to him.
"I don't know, it seems like they were watching some kind of variety show in that RV over there!"
Lu Hao shook his head, pointed to the RV parked not far away, and said to Lü Ming.
"I'll go over and take a look!"
After hearing Lu Hao's words, Lü Ming shook his head and then walked towards the RV that Nazha had driven over earlier, which was not far away.
"What a pity!"
"Those people are just too amazing, no wonder the singers who participated were so badly impressed!"
"With so many singers in the Chinese entertainment industry, do we really have to rely on Na Jie alone?"
As soon as Lü Ming reached the car, he heard the heated discussion between Nazha and the actresses from the crew inside. Their indignant expressions seemed to leap off the screen just from their words.
"What shall we talk about?"
Lu Ming opened the car door and saw Nazha and Meng Ziyi sitting around inside the RV, watching the TV on the wall and discussing something.
After seeing Lü Ming arrive, apart from Nazha and Meng Ziyi who stayed, the other actors and crew members said goodbye and left.
"It's this show, 'Asian King'!"
After they left, Nazha pointed at the television on the wall and said to Lü Ming with some dissatisfaction.
"Yes, yes!"
"It's infuriating to watch!"
Meng Ziyi, who was standing to the side, quickly nodded in agreement.
"What kind of show could make you two so angry?"
Lü Ming had been busy with filming and other matters on set and hadn't paid any attention to online news, so he had no idea what this so-called "Asian King of Pop" program was. "It's a music variety show hosted by Hunan TV, inviting top singers from the Chinese entertainment industry, the Korean Peninsula, and Japan to compete on stage, with the winner being called the Asian King of Pop!"
"In the previous episodes, some musicians from the Chinese entertainment industry were defeated as if they were being chopped down, and now only Sister Na Yin is still persisting!"
"."
Based on Nazha's words, Lü Ming gradually learned what had happened.
It turns out that while Lü Ming and his team were filming "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City", a new phenomenon-level music variety show emerged in China.
Hunan TV, leveraging its position in the domestic variety show industry, prepared a variety show called "Asian Kings," inviting many top singers from China, the Korean Peninsula, and Japan to compete on the same stage. The show became an instant hit across the internet after it aired.
At first, netizens watched these competitions with great interest, after all, it's not easy to see so many superstars competing on the same stage.
However, after several episodes aired, public opinion on the internet changed drastically in an instant.
The reason is that in these episodes, all the musicians from China were eliminated one after another. After the latest episode aired, only Na Yin was left on stage in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.
Meanwhile, almost none of the top stars from the peninsula and island nations were eliminated.
If Hunan TV deliberately manipulated the result, that would be understandable, given their past record, which everyone knows.
But this time it wasn't Hunan TV playing dirty tricks behind the scenes. It's simply that domestic musicians can't compare to the top singers from the peninsula and island nations. Even netizens can clearly see the difference.
This outcome, ironically, left netizens feeling somewhat hopeless.
It's important to know that the domestic singers participating this time are not unknown singers; they are all top-tier singers of the highest caliber in China.
Yet, this lineup was utterly defeated and almost powerless against top singers from the peninsula and island nations.
What's wrong with the Chinese music scene?
This has become the most heated discussion online recently, even surpassing the discussion about Lü Ming's novel "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue" in a rare way.
Especially after the latest episode aired, when only Na Yin, a mainland singer, remained on stage, netizens desperately cried out the tragic line, "A 60-year-old woman guarding the nation's gate!" This almost caused the mainland music scene to lose all face.
It's worth noting that Na Yin barely managed to stay on stage this time, barely managing to be at the very bottom of the rankings.
However, judging from the current situation, Nayin definitely won't be able to hold on for much longer.
The thought that such a domestically produced music variety show, which has become a hit throughout Asia, would not feature a single Chinese singer is almost unacceptable to anyone.
Not to mention netizens, even Nazha and others have been unable to resist making some comments lately.
It's worth noting that as the Chinese singers who participated in the show were defeated one after another, the singers who had previously boasted about showing the charm of Chinese music to the singers from the peninsula and island nations all shut up and stopped talking. They also realized the strength of these top singers from the peninsula and island nations, and that it would be a complete embarrassment for them to go up there.
"Brother Ming, do you want to participate?"
When Nazha saw Lü Ming, she seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but speak to him.
Naza was aware of Lü Ming's musical abilities.
Back then, Lü Ming also participated in a music variety show and even won the championship title. Even Deng Jinyu was full of praise for Lü Ming's ability.
At the time, everyone thought that Lü Ming would make a name for himself in the variety show and music industries. However, he turned to television dramas and made a name for himself with "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer". Only then did people gradually forget Lü Ming's achievements in music.
In the online discussions these days, some people have suggested that Lü Ming participate in this program to revitalize the glory of Chinese music.
Ring ring~~~
Just as Lü Ming was about to say something, he suddenly saw Gangzi calling. After gesturing to Nazha and the others, he answered the call.
"Hey!"
After the call connected, Lü Ming asked Gangzi on the other end, "What's the matter?"
"Well... how should I put it?"
Upon hearing Lü Ming's question, Gangzi on the other end of the phone looked somewhat embarrassed, and then said to Lü Ming, "There's something I'd like to ask you for a favor!"
Gangzi then shared his thoughts with Lü Ming.
"what?"
"You're inviting me to be a contestant singer?"
Lu Ming thought Gangzi and the others were calling to inquire about the filming of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City," but he didn't expect that Gangzi and the others had something else to say.
It turns out that Hunan TV contacted Gangzi and Hu Tao, hoping they could help invite Lü Ming to participate in the "Asian King" program.
As the online discussions intensified, especially after the latest episode aired and only Na Yin remained, Hunan TV began to falter.
It's important to understand that Hunan TV created this program for a reason, not because of the current situation.
If Na Yin is eliminated again, then the entire show will only have top singers from the peninsula and island nation left. At that time, Hunan TV will definitely be heavily criticized by netizens.
So Hunan TV hurriedly searched for top singers in China, hoping they could participate in the "Asian King" program, so that at least there wouldn't be no Chinese singers left on the stage.
However, when faced with the invitation from Hunan TV, the top singers in China rejected it almost without hesitation.
After all, everyone can clearly see the talent of those singers from the peninsula and island nations, and no one can guarantee that they can definitely beat them.
It would be fine if you didn't participate, but if you did participate and failed to beat them, you would lose all face.
After searching around, Hunan TV discovered that no one had agreed to their request.
At that very moment, someone mentioned Lü Ming.
It's worth noting that Lü Ming had participated in music variety shows before, and everyone is aware of his talent. (End of Chapter)
