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

Faced with this situation, Hunan TV had no choice but to try anything, hoping to invite Lü Ming to participate in the next episode of "Asian King" through Gangzi and his team.

Faced with the request for help from Hunan TV, the number one local TV station in China, Gangzi and Hu Tao simply couldn't refuse.

Especially when Hunan TV offered to share the online broadcasting rights with both parties free of charge if Lü Ming agreed to participate in this episode of "Asian King of Pop," they found it even harder to refuse.

So they agreed to Hunan TV's request and promised to help them get in touch with Lü Ming.

Gangzi called and told Lü Ming about Hunan TV's request.

In order to invite Lü Ming, Hunan TV not only offered Gangzi and his team irresistible terms, but also offered Lü Ming an exorbitant appearance fee.

"What do you think?"

Although Gangzi also hoped that Lü Ming could participate in this "Asian King" program, it wasn't for any resources, but simply because he couldn't stand those singers from the peninsula and island countries showing off on mainland music variety shows.

However, Gangzi also knew that everything depended on Lü Ming's wishes, and if Lü Ming was unwilling, Gangzi would not have any objections.

After all, the domestic music scene is now being overshadowed by singers from the peninsula and island countries. We can't expect Lü Ming, an outsider to the music industry, to revive the glory of Chinese music, can we?
That's really putting people in a difficult position!

Naza and Meng Ziyi, who were standing to the side, seemed to have guessed something and looked at Lü Ming with curiosity, wondering what choice he would make.

"How much was the appearance fee again?"

After hearing Gangzi's words, Lü Ming pondered for a moment before asking Gangzi a question.

"Thirty million per issue!"

"Mango TV promised that as long as you participate, you will receive 30 million yuan, and if you are not eliminated, Mango TV will give you an additional 10 million yuan, but this 10 million yuan cannot be made public!"

Upon hearing Lü Ming's words, Gangzi quickly spoke up to him.

It can be said that the conditions offered by Hunan TV this time are extremely generous. You should know that a top-tier celebrity usually only charges 10 to 20 million yuan to participate in a variety show for an entire period of time, but now Hunan TV has even offered 30 million yuan to invite Lü Ming.

Keep in mind that this is only the price for one episode. If Lü Ming is not eliminated, he can not only continue to earn an appearance fee of 30 million per episode, but also receive a bonus of 10 million.

In other words, if Lü Ming agrees and can avoid being eliminated in this round, he can easily earn close to 100 million yuan.

This is no small sum of money.

"Let them come!"

After thinking for a moment, Lü Ming spoke to Gangzi on the other end of the phone.

For Lü Ming, money was a minor issue. The most important thing was that he felt uneasy after hearing what Nazha and the others said and thinking about how singers from the peninsula and island countries were showing off on domestic music variety shows.

"it is good!"

"I'll contact Hunan TV right away!"

After hearing what Lü Ming said, Gangzi knew that Lü Ming should be fine.

Based on Gangzi's understanding of Lü Ming, if Lü Ming is unwilling, no matter how high the price offered by Hunan TV, Lü Ming will not agree.

"Brother, are you going to participate in that 'Asian King' program?"

After Lü Ming hung up the phone, Nazha curiously leaned forward and asked him a question.

Not only Gulnazar, but Meng Ziyi, who was standing next to her, also looked very curious.

They knew that once the news of Lü Ming's participation in this episode of "Asian King" spread, it would definitely cause a sensation across the internet.

Putting aside the current popularity of the show "Asian King", the fact that Lü Ming is participating in a variety show for the first time since the hit drama "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" is enough to attract a lot of attention.

This is Lü Ming!

The most popular celebrity in China right now!
"should be!"

Lü Ming nodded. In his opinion, after discussing it with Hunan TV, if there were no problems, he would choose to participate.

Although Lü Ming didn't have much intention of making a living in the music industry, he couldn't refuse the idea of ​​promoting national prestige.

"Okay!"

Upon hearing Lü Ming's words, Nazha jumped up excitedly, grabbed Lü Ming's hand, and said confidently, "Brother, you can definitely defeat them easily!"

Naza has an unconditional trust in Lü Ming.

In Nazha's eyes, Lü Ming is almost omnipotent.

Meng Ziyi, who was standing next to him, felt the same way. After spending so many days with him, she had no doubt about Lü Ming's abilities.

Not to mention that Lü Ming has already proven his musical abilities.

After receiving Lü Ming's reply, Gangzi immediately called Li Yan, the head of Hunan TV, to tell him the news.

"Okay!"

"Thank you so much!"

Upon learning the news, Li Yan immediately expressed his gratitude to Gangzi over the phone, and then led his men to the location of "Ghost Blows Out the Light - The Ancient City of Jingjue".

The next morning, in a coffee shop not far from the filming location of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City", Li Yan finally met Lü Ming, who had just finished filming.

"Mr. Lü, these are the terms from Hunan TV. Please take a look and see if there are any modifications you need. Just tell us!"

After exchanging brief pleasantries with Lü Ming, Li Yan quickly took out the contract proposal they had prepared and placed it in front of Lü Ming.

For Li Yan, the online discussions during this period have kept him up at night.

As the person in charge of variety shows at Hunan TV, Li Yan originally hoped to use "Asian King" to revive Hunan TV's leading position in the variety show field.

But Li Yan never expected it to end like this. Although he gained popularity, it was not the result he wanted.

Faced with the overwhelming public opinion, even the senior executives of Hunan TV couldn't help but reprimand Li Yan, urging him to resolve the online controversy.

If we allow singers from peninsulas and island nations to flaunt their power on domestic music programs, wouldn't that be utterly disgraceful?

Faced with this chaotic situation, Li Yan contacted many of the top singers in China, but after learning about the situation, they all declined Li Yan's invitation.

In the end, Lü Ming became Hunan TV's only choice.

Even Li Yan and his team had already made a decision: in order to get Lü Ming to participate in this season of "Asian King," Li Yan decided to use some methods to ensure that Lü Ming would not be eliminated this season.

Originally, Li Yan and his team did not intend to use such methods, because if it were exposed, it would definitely be an explosive scandal.

It's important to understand that "Asian King of Pop" has already garnered significant attention not only domestically but also throughout Asia, with viewers in many countries eagerly awaiting the upcoming episodes. If it were revealed that Hunan TV used underhanded tactics to ensure Chinese singers weren't eliminated, it would cause a major uproar. Although he knew that such actions would lead to serious problems if discovered, Li Yan still decided to resort to it because he had no other options at the moment.

"I can accept these conditions!"

Lu Ming picked up the plan prepared by Hunan TV that was on the table, looked at it, nodded, and then pointed to the last point and said to Li Yan and the others: "As for using methods to ensure that I will not be eliminated, there is no need to talk about it anymore. I have not reached the point where I need to use such methods!"

For Lü Ming, if he were truly inferior in skill, then he could not accept it.

After all, even Lü Ming couldn't guarantee that he would advance, since those top singers from the peninsula and island nations were no pushovers and definitely had real talent.

However, if Lü Ming were to use such methods to ensure his advancement, Lü Ming would absolutely not accept it.

"this."

Li Yan thought that Lü Ming was afraid that the exposure would affect him, and he was about to explain that it would definitely not affect Lü Ming, and that he would take all the blame if anything happened.

"No need. If that clause exists, then I can't agree to it!"

Lu Ming shook his head and said to Li Yan very seriously.

"Well!"

Seeing Lü Ming's resolute attitude, Li Yan knew he shouldn't say anything more and quickly agreed to Lü Ming's conditions.

"Then let's have a pleasant cooperation!"

After Li Yan agreed, Lü Ming stood up, extended a hand to Li Yan, and said with a smile.

"Happy cooperation!"

Li Yan extended his hand, shook hands with Lü Ming, and then told Lü Ming about the next episode of "Asian King".

The Asian King of Pop is a live music variety show, airing on weekend evenings at 8 PM.

Today is Tuesday, which means Lü Ming has almost five days to prepare.

As for the list of singers participating in this competition, Li Yan told Lü Ming that the list would be sent to him later.

"no problem!"

Lu Ming nodded and agreed.

Filming for "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" is now on track, so Lü Ming's temporary departure for a few days is not a big problem.

After receiving Lü Ming's reply, Li Yan and his team quickly returned to Xingcheng. After informing Lü Ming, they announced that Lü Ming would be participating in the new episode of "Asian King" as a contestant.

Just as Nazha and the others had predicted, the news caused an instant sensation across the internet.

Holy crap! Even a nobody's getting on the scene?!

Did Hunan TV save the galaxy in its past life to manage to invite such a washed-up celebrity?!

Now I really have to look forward to it! There's no need to say more about that unknown artist's musical talent; I've been listening to those songs on repeat!

[Unexpectedly, it was this nobody, an outsider, who ultimately came to revive the glory of Chinese pop music, while the superstars within the industry seemed to remain silent!]

[Huka: It is our inescapable duty to revitalize the glory of Chinese-language media!]

Don't say anything, I'm crying!

[A 60-year-old woman guards the national border, while a 20-year-old wields a long spear! Skr!]

I promise that starting today, I will never criticize obscure or unpopular celebrities again!

However, the online response to Lü Ming's participation in the "Asian King" program was not entirely supportive; there were still some rumors and gossip circulating.

Is this washed-up artist really capable? Can his skill level truly compare to top singers from peninsulas and island nations? He shouldn't embarrass himself again!

[Exactly! If this is even worse than the previous singers, wouldn't they be a disgrace to the Chinese music scene?]

He's not in the entertainment industry, he's only sung a few songs, so he might just be a show-off!

Compared to top singers from peninsulas and island nations, I simply don't believe his level is up to par!

[Don't just use this as a gimmick! What qualifications does he have to represent the Chinese music scene?]

【.】

With the online discussions, everyone is even more excited for this weekend's episode of "Asian Kings".

"That washed-up guy is finally going to die!"

Upon seeing the online comments, Sister Zheng couldn't help but feel very excited.

After being tricked by Lü Ming last time, Zheng Jie's popularity suffered a huge blow. Even her previously stable fan base split up because of her previous behavior, and her popularity plummeted.

For Sister Zheng, all of this was caused by Lü Ming, and her hatred for Lü Ming deepened even further.

After learning that Lü Ming would be participating in this episode of "Asian King", Sister Zheng couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.

Although Zheng Jie had personally witnessed Lü Ming win the crown on that music variety show, she felt that the show itself wasn't very prestigious.

Compared to the lineup in "Asian Kings" now, those previous people are simply incomparable.

Given Lü Ming's musical abilities, it would be virtually impossible for him to achieve anything among so many top singers from the peninsula and island nations.

Sister Zheng seemed to already see Lü Ming's pathetic exit after being eliminated.

Given the current public opinion, so many people regard Lü Ming as the savior of the Chinese music scene. If Lü Ming is eliminated in a sorry state, Zheng Jie doesn't need to guess what kind of fate awaits him.

Just like her back then, the higher she was praised, the harder she was thrown down.

"Let me see how he dies!"

Qianbao and the others were equally excited when they saw the news.

In their view, Lü Ming made the worst possible choice.

Although their musical skills weren't that great, they were well aware of the talent of the top singers from the peninsula and island nations who participated in "Asian King of Pop." Each of them would be a superstar in their own country.

Such figures are definitely not people they can easily get involved with.

Most importantly, the current public opinion is dire. The vast majority of netizens see this episode as a symbol of saving the Chinese music scene and enhancing national prestige. Failure would, while not necessarily lead to utter ruin, would certainly be a severe blow. (End of Chapter)
