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

After taking a photo with Lü Ming, the female translator checked the time and urged IU to hurry back to her dressing room, as it would be IU's turn to get ready.

"Oppa, you can do it!"

IU nodded somewhat helplessly, waved her fist at Lü Ming, and then said goodbye to Lü Ming's dressing room.

"Handsome guys are just different!"

Not long after IU left, He Jiong walked in and teased Lu Ming, who was sitting in a chair.

The Hunan TV live broadcast building is only so big, and there are so many staff members coming and going, so the news of IU's arrival at Lü Ming's dressing room had already spread throughout the entire Hunan TV backstage. Even He Jiong, who had just gone to prepare, learned about the news from others.

Even Teacher He was surprised to find that the seemingly aloof and high-class national treasure-level female singer IU was actually a fan of Lü Ming. He felt even more dazed when he saw IU's excited appearance.

Who would have thought that IU, who has always been aloof, would be as excited as a fangirl seeing her idol in front of Lü Ming.

"Brother, today is an important occasion!"

"That fat Du is an idiot, don't pay him any mind, just make sure he doesn't cause any trouble!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Lü Ming, Teacher He quickly spoke to Lü Ming.

He had heard about the conflict between Lü Ming, Fatty Du, and Quan Zhilong. He came here partly to ask Lü Ming to submit his work, and partly to appease Lü Ming so that he wouldn't cause any major trouble.

To be honest, Teacher He was also quite dissatisfied with Fatty Du.

Although Fatty Du debuted under Teacher He, he didn't learn any of Teacher He's interpersonal skills or insight.

Who is Lü Ming?

Putting aside Lü Ming's current status in the domestic entertainment industry, he is undoubtedly a top star, someone that Du Pangzi, a mere host, could not possibly offend.

Not to mention that Lü Ming was invited to participate in this episode of "Asian King" by the personal invitation of the senior leaders of Hunan TV. Even He Jiong couldn't believe it when he heard the news.

You have to understand that Fatty Du's current status and position are entirely due to his backing by Hunan TV. Otherwise, who would take a little host like Fatty Du seriously?

Fatty Du, however, had no self-awareness whatsoever, even though Lü Ming had been personally invited by the higher-ups at Hunan TV.

Fatty Du's provocative behavior wasn't just directed at Lü Ming, but also at the higher-ups at Hunan TV. It was a complete slap in the face to them.

When He Jiong received the news, he immediately saw that Li Yan, the leader of Hunan TV, had a dark expression on his face.

If it weren't for the large number of people present, Li Yan would probably have dragged Fatty Du over and given him a good scolding on the spot.

Judging from the situation, I reckon Fatty Du won't have an easy time after this episode of "Asian King" is over.

Teacher He didn't care about Fatty Du's future at all.

Teacher He knows Lü Ming so well!

He's the kind of person who's fearless. On the shows he's been on, if anyone dares to target him, he won't hold back at all.

Leaving aside Teacher Huang when he first filmed "Back to Field", a dish of braised pork intestines has almost become the first impression that everyone has of Teacher Huang, making Teacher Huang hate Lü Ming to the core.

Then there's Zhang Dada, the host of that music talent show back then. Just because he wanted to ride on Lü Ming's popularity, he made a few jokes about Lü Ming on stage, and was severely scolded by Lü Ming. After that, his hosting career plummeted.

If it were just a regular variety show, it wouldn't be a big deal. But this time, "Asian King" is being broadcast live across Asia. If there's any mishap during the broadcast, Hunan TV will lose face throughout the entire continent.

So after receiving instructions from the higher-ups at Hunan TV, He Jiong rushed over to comfort Lü Ming, hoping that he could stay calm and collected.

"As long as they don't provoke me, everything is fine!"

Faced with Teacher He's earnest advice, Lü Ming nodded.

Out of respect for Teacher He and considering the exorbitant appearance fee offered by Hunan TV, Lü Ming could tolerate it.

But all of this is on the condition that Fatty Du and his gang stop causing trouble; otherwise, Lu Ming wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson again.

After seeing that Lü Ming had agreed, Teacher He breathed a sigh of relief and then led Lü Ming, along with the notebook containing the original song, to the backstage area where they would submit their entries for tonight's competition.

Hunan TV has attached great importance to this show, "Asian King of Pop." Not only are the equipment top-notch, but the contestants are also the best singers from the peninsula and island nations. Even the backstage stage, sound engineers, and staff are top-notch.

"Is this your original song?"

Wang Lei, who was in charge of the backstage coordination for this event, is a well-known creator in the industry. After seeing the original song handed over by Lü Ming, he couldn't help but look a little puzzled.

This doesn't look like a song at all!
"Yes, this is my original song, 'Ode to Young China'!"

Seeing the confusion in Wang Lei's eyes, Lü Ming guessed what the other was thinking and explained, "This is a song adapted from that work, and this is the piece I prepared!"

Looking at the melody handed to him by Lü Ming, Wang Lei quickly understood Lü Ming's original song and began to hum it softly.

As the melody progressed, Wang Lei's eyes shone even brighter.

"That's a classic!"

Wang Lei clapped his hands and said to Lü Ming with excitement on his face.

Wang Lei didn't know much about Lü Ming; he only knew about him from his friends.

It's worth noting that in the music industry, Lü Ming wasn't even considered a musician, so Wang Lei's first impression of him wasn't very good either.

Especially when I saw the lyrics that Lü Ming handed me, I instinctively thought that Lü Ming was just a charlatan, using a classic literary work to join the fun.

However, after seeing the sheet music handed over by Lü Ming, all the doubts in his heart vanished instantly.

In Wang Lei's opinion, this adapted version of "Ode to Young China" is simply excellent.

In Wang Lei's opinion, it is in no way inferior to some classic works, and even has a higher level of meaning.

Once this song gets out, it will definitely become a classic.

Teacher He, who was standing to the side, also had some knowledge of music. He himself made a name for himself in the music industry with the song "Gardenia Blossoms". So after hearing Wang Lei humming, he immediately realized that the original song brought by Lü Ming was excellent.

At first, when Teacher He heard that Lü Ming had chosen an original song instead of his hit song "I'll Love You Till I Die," he was somewhat worried. After all, the top singers from the peninsula and island nations participating in this year's "Asian King of Pop" competition were all incredibly talented, and they all brought their own classic hits to the competition. Lü Ming, on the other hand, was bringing an original song whose quality was completely unknown, so he couldn't help but worry that Lü Ming was just throwing caution to the wind.

Looking back now, it seems that Teacher He was completely overthinking things.

Lü Ming did not choose his hit song "I Will Love You Till I Die" because he was giving up, but because his new song was even better.

After listening to just a short clip, Teacher He had a general understanding of the song's quality.

The quality is absolutely no less than that of "I Will Love You Till I Die," and may even be much better.

The lyrics of this song, in particular, are already a classic, and with Lü Ming's adaptation, they have become even more excellent.

Considering the current online public opinion, Teacher He can easily guess what kind of explosive situation will occur when Lü Ming finishes singing this song.

The leadership made an incredibly wise decision to select Lü Ming to participate!
In Teacher He's opinion, it's hard to say whether Lü Ming's original song will win first place, but elimination is definitely out of the question.

That's enough for Hunan TV.

It's worth noting that after so many episodes, every Chinese singer who participated in the show was destined to be eliminated, leaving only Na Yin barely holding on.

Moreover, given the current situation and the increasing intensity of the competition, it is estimated that Sister Nayin will not be able to hold on for much longer.

This is why netizens were so angry when they saw Na Yin stubbornly upholding the last honor of the Chinese music scene. Their online cry of "a 60-year-old woman guarding the country's gate" is not only anger towards the Chinese music scene, but also anger towards Hunan TV.

Once Na Yin is eliminated, and the entire show lacks a single Chinese-language singer, Hunan TV will definitely become the target of public criticism and even a laughing stock.

This is an outcome that Hunan TV absolutely does not want to see.

So after failing to invite other top Chinese musicians, Hunan TV had no choice but to try their luck and spend a lot of money to bring in Lü Ming.

To be honest, even though Hunan TV spent a lot of money to hire Lü Ming, they didn't really have much confidence in him.

For Hunan TV, as long as Lü Ming is not eliminated, it will definitely be considered a success.

If they had been truly confident, they wouldn't have suggested to Lü Ming that they use some means to ensure they wouldn't be eliminated.

However, judging from the current situation, with the strength of this song, elimination is absolutely impossible, and Lü Ming even has a chance to get a top-three ranking.

It's worth noting that since the "Asian King of Pop" competition started, it has aired five or six episodes, and no Chinese singer has ever achieved a top-three finish.

"You're really something else, kid!"

Looking at Lü Ming standing confidently beside him, Teacher He said with some emotion, "Little Goldfish was right after all. Your musical talent is even greater than hers!"

When Lü Ming participated in that music talent show last time, Deng Jinyu couldn't help but angrily confront those haters online after seeing those who belittled Lü Ming's musical talent, saying that Lü Ming's musical talent was superior to hers.

Even after learning that Lü Ming had been invited to participate in this episode of "Asian Kings," Deng Jinyu specially posted a Weibo expressing her anticipation.

"I'm not the kind of person who takes money for nothing!"

When Lu Ming heard Teacher He's praise, he replied casually, as if he didn't care at all.

What are your plans for the stage?

After Wang Lei put the sheet music and lyrics together, he asked Lü Ming in front of him a question.

It's important to know that "Asian King of Pop" isn't just about recording an album; it's a music variety show that's broadcast live across the entire internet and even all of Asia.

Therefore, not only is singing ability important, but stage performance is also very important.

For example, Jeon Ji-yong's innate dance skills greatly enhanced the stage effect, and he even received many more votes out of nowhere.

Wang Lei and his team naturally hoped that Lü Ming could achieve even better results.

Therefore, we hope to meet Lü Ming's requirements as much as possible in terms of stage effects.

"I hope you can invite a children's choir to perform this first part!"

"As for the rest, we don't need much more!"

Lu Ming pointed to the copy of "Ode to Young China" and said to Wang Lei and the others in front of him.

"A children's choir?"

After hearing Lü Ming's words, Wang Lei looked at the first section of harmony in the book and couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to have a group of children in a children's choir sing it.

Although he didn't know what Lu Ming meant by making such a request, he still obediently nodded in agreement.

"Is there anything else?"

"Lighting, sound, and whatever else you need, just name it and we'll definitely meet your requirements!"

Wang Lei continued to ask Lü Ming questions.

"no need!"

Lu Ming shook his head and declined Wang Lei and the others' offer.

In Lü Ming's opinion, if he had brought a pop song or a rock song this time, he would definitely not have refused Wang Lei and the others' kindness, since those songs would have greatly enhanced the experience with these stage effects.

Just like the K-pop songs performed by Jeon Ji-yong and others, the feeling is instantly different when dance and stage effects are added. Even if the quality of the song is slightly inferior, it can be made up for by these effects.

But this is meaningless to "Ode to Young China".

The most important aspects of this song are its melody, lyrics, and the inherent feeling it evokes; it doesn't need any special stage support.

To put it bluntly, Lü Ming has great confidence in his song "Ode to Young China".

They never intended to hide anything; they planned to reveal it during the performance.

Lü Ming was making it clear to the top singers from the peninsula and island nation that he wasn't here to just coast along, but to overturn the tables! (End of Chapter)
