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

"It should be a while longer!"

IU's translator shook his head and spoke to IU.

Lu Ming shouldn't have arrived yet; if he had, the staff would have known by now.

After all, they are the "Asian Kings," not some music variety show like "The Masked Singer," where the contestants don't need to hide anything.

Just like this time when Lü Ming was invited by Hunan TV to participate in this episode of "Asian King", if it were in the past, according to Hunan TV's usual practice, they would definitely hide it well, and then reveal Lü Ming's name only before the show started after maximizing the attention.

But things are different now. In the previous episodes, almost all the Chinese singers were eliminated, leaving only Na Yin as the sole survivor. This situation made it impossible for the public opinion on the Internet to allow Hunan TV to keep anything a secret.

Given the previous public opinion, if Hunan TV had been even a little bit late, it would probably have been vilified as a traitor.

Therefore, after receiving Lü Ming's reply, Hunan TV revealed the news that Lü Ming would be participating in the next episode of "Asian King" almost without hesitation.

"Oh!"

Upon hearing her own translation, IU's face fell, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

"How could you possibly like that bumbling Lu Ming?"

Seeing IU's disappointed expression, IU's translator couldn't contain his curiosity and asked her a question.

It was through these few episodes that the translator got to know IU somewhat and realized that IU wasn't like the other girls who acted aloof; on the contrary, she was quite approachable. Otherwise, the translator wouldn't have dared to ask her such a question.

According to the translator's understanding of IU, IU's work is mainly concentrated in the Korean Peninsula and island nations, and she also has some activities in other Asian countries, but she has hardly ever come to China.

This "Asian King" event marks IU's first visit to China in recent years.

And what about Lü Ming, this washed-up celebrity?

His base of support is entirely within China, and he has virtually no reputation outside of China. You can't even find much information about Lü Ming on foreign websites.

That's why IU is so curious about this translation: how exactly did IU meet Lü Ming?
IU even claimed to be a fan of Lü Ming.

Did they know each other before?

But I've never heard of any interaction between Lü Ming and IU.

"I saw it online!"

"Lu Ming oppa is so handsome! I have never seen anyone so perfectly handsome and so talented!"

Upon hearing the translator's question, IU excitedly addressed the translator.

According to IU, she actually first learned about Lü Ming when she saw him participate in the music variety show last time, and she thought he was really handsome.

Later, IU even went to the Chinese internet to search for information about Lü Ming, and that's how she learned some things about him.

IU was quickly attracted to the handsome yet unique Lu Ming and became his little fan.

Especially after learning that Lü Ming would also be participating in this episode of "Asian Kings", IU even spent a lot of money to buy a photo of Lü Ming online, intending to get him to sign it.

IU's translator was also surprised that IU knew so much about Lü Ming, even knowing a lot about the love-hate relationship between Lü Ming and Sister Zheng.

She initially thought IU's words were just polite remarks, but she didn't expect that what IU said was true.

This queen of the peninsula is actually a fan of Lu Ming!

If this news gets out, it will probably shock a lot of people.

While IU was talking to her translator about Lü Ming, Lü Ming had just arrived at the Hunan TV live broadcast building.

"You've finally arrived!"

When Lu Ming got out of the car, He Jiong, the host of the "Asian King" program, quickly came up to him and said with a relieved expression.

Teacher He and Lü Ming have some connection; they first met on the show "Back to Field".

However, even Teacher He did not expect that Lu Ming, who was just a popular but soon-to-be-fallen idol on the show "Back to Field", would become a completely different person after a short period of time and make a name for himself in the huge entertainment industry.

Not only did it leave a significant impression on people through several popular variety shows, but its popularity and buzz also skyrocketed.

He then rose to fame overnight with the drama "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," becoming one of the top male stars in the industry.

Even this time, it was only through the personal invitation of high-ranking executives at Hunan TV that Lü Ming was able to participate in this episode of "Asian King of Kings," with an exorbitant price offered.

Thinking back to when Lü Ming participated in "Back to Field" and then looking at Lü Ming who has become a top star in the industry, Teacher He still feels a little dazed.

"Hello, Teacher He!"

Lu Ming looked at Teacher He standing next to his car and greeted him.

Although Lü Ming had a falling out with almost everyone, including Teacher Huang, when he appeared on "Back to Field," he didn't have much conflict with Teacher He.

Even though Lü Ming was just a nobody in the entertainment industry back then, He Jiong never looked down on him or deliberately made things difficult for him.

This is probably why Teacher He is so popular in the industry.

So, the relationship between Lü Ming and Teacher He is actually quite good, and they can be considered friends.

"We've been waiting for you to come!"

Looking at Lü Ming's kind face, Teacher He's worries instantly vanished. He smiled and said to Lü Ming, "If you hadn't come, our show would have been bombarded with hate mail!"

Originally, Teacher He was worried that Lü Ming would become arrogant and look down on others now that he has become a top star.

After all, Teacher He has seen far too many cases of people becoming arrogant and spoiled after suddenly becoming famous.

Fortunately, Lü Ming didn't put on airs like a top star; instead, he chatted with him in a very normal manner, which improved He Jiong's impression of Lü Ming considerably.

"It is our inescapable duty to revitalize the Chinese music scene!"

After hearing what Teacher He said, Lü Ming used a popular internet meme to say to Teacher He, and then followed Teacher He to the lounge inside the building.

"Lü Ming, what are you going to sing this time?"

"Just tell us if there's anything we can do for you!"

After escorting Lü Ming into the lounge, Teacher He spoke to Lü Ming with a serious expression.

While many top singers have retreated, Lü Ming is seen by netizens as the savior of the Chinese music scene. They eagerly anticipate his ability to revitalize the genre and defeat top singers from the peninsula and Japan. If Lü Ming is eliminated again, the public outcry is something even He Jiong (a popular singer-songwriter) dreads.

By then, not only will Lü Ming's popularity and viewership plummet, but Hunan TV will also suffer.

Although Lü Ming rejected Hunan TV's suggestion to use certain methods when he discussed cooperation with Li Yan and others, He Jiong and Hunan TV still hoped to provide Lü Ming with as much assistance as possible within the rules.

To be honest, not only He Jiong, but also Hunan TV, had some lack of confidence in Lü Ming.

It's not that Lü Ming isn't good enough. After all, he had participated in music variety shows before and performed very well. Even Deng Jinyu couldn't help but praise Lü Ming's singing skills and talent.

However, Lü Ming is not a professional singer and has not made much of a name for himself in the music industry.

To put it bluntly, Lü Ming is practically a complete novice when it comes to the music industry.

Not to mention that this time Lü Ming will be facing top singers from the peninsula and island nations, who would be considered superstars even in China.

Hunan TV initially chose Lü Ming mainly because most domestic musicians were too afraid to come out and accept the challenge, so they had no choice but to try inviting Lü Ming as a last resort.

"no need!"

Lu Ming shook his head, then took out the notebook he had brought and said to Teacher He, "It's just an original piece!"

"Original song?"

Upon hearing Lü Ming's words and looking at the notebook in Lü Ming's hand, Teacher He couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then said somewhat nervously, "Isn't choosing original works a bit too risky?"

It's important to know that this "Asian King" program is not an original music variety show. The top singers from the peninsula and island countries almost all use their signature songs or songs that best suit their voices to strive for the most perfect performance.

In previous episodes, no one has ever submitted an original song for the competition.

It's worth noting that the domestic singers who were eliminated before all used their signature songs and performed them very well, but even so, they still couldn't escape the fate of being eliminated.

Originally, Teacher He thought that since this was Lü Ming's first time participating in the competition, he might use his famous song "I Will Love You Till I Die!" from the music variety show he participated in before.

After all, Lü Ming won the crown of that music variety show with his song "I Will Love You Till I Die!" and that song is still ranked high on the Tencent Music charts.

In Teacher He's opinion, if Lü Ming were to participate in the competition with the song "I Will Love You Till I Die," with the boost from that song, as long as Lü Ming doesn't have any major problems performing, he might not be able to rank in the top few, but he should at least not be eliminated.

But to everyone's surprise, Lü Ming had no intention of using "I Will Love You Till I Die" to compete; instead, he wanted to use an original song.

"fine!"

"Teacher He, don't you know my abilities?"

Lu Ming said confidently, seemingly not taking Teacher He's concerns to heart at all.

I just don't understand!
Looking at the confident-looking Lü Ming, Teacher He was a little unsure how to advise him.

Doesn't Lü Ming have any worries?
Given the current public opinion, if Lü Ming is eliminated like those other mainland singers before him, then the overwhelming public opinion will definitely overwhelm him, and even those musicians who are currently making sarcastic remarks will take the opportunity to kick him while he's down.

At that point, Lu Ming will not only lose his chance to make it in the music industry, but he probably won't be invited to any music variety shows anymore.

Even for Lü Ming, such a price would have a huge impact.

If Lü Ming knew what Teacher He was thinking right now, he would probably scoff at it.

Putting aside the fact that Lü Ming is very confident in his original song, he even thinks it is much better than "I Will Love You Till I Die".

It's worth noting that the original song Lü Ming chose this time is hailed as a classic in later generations, and it's more than enough for this "Asian King" program.

Besides, Lü Ming had no intention of developing a career in the music industry at all.

Judging from the way these musicians bully the weak and fear the strong, and act like cowards, Lü Ming doesn't have much interest in the music industry.

You have to understand that singers from the peninsula and island nations have come to our doorstep, while Chinese singers in China don't even dare to perform.

In Lü Ming's view, even if he were eliminated right away, Lü Ming would still think highly of him, at least he still had courage and boldness.

But those people in the music industry didn't disappoint Lü Ming at all; they didn't even have the courage to go on stage.

That's it?

Let alone getting Lü Ming into the music industry, even if you begged Lü Ming, he wouldn't pay any attention to you.

"Then you go ahead and get ready, I'm off to get busy!"

Teacher He spoke to Lü Ming and then prepared to go to the leaders of Hunan TV to discuss the follow-up.

To be honest, Teacher He no longer has high expectations for Lü Ming.

According to Teacher He and his team, the top singers from the peninsula and island nations all brought their classic works to the competition. Even though Lü Ming chose his hit song "I Will Love You Till I Die," he was under a lot of pressure.

Not to mention that he's now competing with an original song, so his prospects are bleak.

If Lü Ming is eliminated like the contestants in previous episodes, then the public opinion will definitely be in an uproar.

They need to prepare a budget in advance and try to minimize the impact.

dong dong dong~~~
Not long after Teacher He left, Lü Ming heard a knock on the door.

"%￥￥#*！&"

As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw the top male singer from the peninsula standing at the door. When he saw Lü Ming, he was saying something with a hint of arrogance on his face.

"What the hell are you talking about!"

Lu Ming didn't understand any Korean and had no idea what the person in front of him was saying. However, looking at the arrogant face of the other person, he knew that it was definitely not something nice.

"Mr. Quan, are you saying that you are Lü Ming?"

Du Pangzi, who was acting as Quan Zhilong's translator, asked Lü Ming with a hint of contempt after hearing his words.

After hearing what Fatty Du said, Lü Ming did not reply, but simply raised his head and looked at the two of them with some disdain.

"What's your attitude?"

"Mr. Quan is an international friend, how can you treat him like this?"

Before Quan Zhilong could speak, Du, who was acting as Quan Zhilong's translator, looked angrily at Lü Ming, seemingly very dissatisfied with Lü Ming's disdainful expression earlier. (End of Chapter)
