Chapter 176 New Scandal, Dilraba's Little Thoughts
After all, in Li Yan's opinion, even if Lü Ming used his hit song "I Will Love You Till I Die" which won him the music talent show competition, he would still have to rely on an extraordinary performance to ensure that he would not be eliminated, let alone Lü Ming's plan to use an original song.
Li Yan still didn't quite understand Lü Ming's choice.
It's not that original songs are unacceptable, but this is the live broadcast of "Asian King of Pop," not some music composition competition. On this stage, what's needed isn't creative talent, but rather singing skills and stunning performances.
Since the show "Asian King" started airing, no singer has ever participated with an original song.
This is the first time Lü Ming has ever done so, suddenly deciding to use an original song.
Lü Ming's creative talent needs no further explanation. As one of the most talented individuals in the industry, his classic songs created during his participation in music talent shows and his screenwriting work on "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" have proven his undeniable talent.
After learning the news, Li Yan could only hope that Lü Ming's original song was of decent quality, or at least not too bad.
But just when Li Yan was feeling uneasy, Teacher He and Wang Lei suddenly gave him some good news.
That is, the quality of the original song that Lü Ming brought this time is not just okay, but very amazing, much better than his previous song "I Will Love You Till I Die".
Upon learning this, Li Yan was overjoyed.
When he invited Lü Ming to be a contestant on this season of "Asian King of Pop," he was really just trying his luck and didn't have high expectations for Lü Ming. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Lü Ming if he wanted him to help with some behind-the-scenes maneuvering when they were discussing the collaboration.
But Li Yan never expected that Lü Ming would give him such a big surprise.
The most pressing and urgent problem Li Yan is facing right now is that if no Chinese singers appear on this episode of "Asian King of Pop," the public will definitely not let him off the hook, and even Hunan TV will be implicated.
However, if Lü Ming can maintain his position and avoid being eliminated, the current situation will be completely reversed.
Their variety show, "Asian King," even gained more popularity because of Lü Ming's appearance, given his immense popularity and fame.
Since Hunan TV announced that Lü Ming would be a contestant on this season of "Asian King of Pop," the online criticism and abuse against Hunan TV, while not completely disappearing, has decreased significantly.
Moreover, even those brand owners who initially threatened Li Yan and his group with running away, after learning that Lü Ming would be participating in this episode, not only stopped saying anything, but also thoughtfully called Li Yan and his group to inquire about Lü Ming's situation.
If Lü Ming could stay permanently, these brands would be willing to increase their sponsorship efforts.
After hearing the attitudes of those brands, Li Yan knew that even if he offered double the sponsorship price, they probably wouldn't refuse.
This is so easy to understand; you can tell from Lü Ming's previous appearance at the Harper's Bazaar Charity Gala.
It's worth noting that the brands that sponsored the Harper's Bazaar Charity Gala were practically in the public eye every day because of Lü Ming's numerous news headlines, which significantly boosted their brand awareness.
And now, Lu Ming hasn't even appeared yet, but just IU's words have made this episode of "Asian King" surpass the ratings of the previous episodes.
"I remember we had footage of IU going to Lu Ming's dressing room before?"
"Have someone release them under the name of our Hunan TV staff or friends!"
As a professional program planner, Li Yan knew how much such hot topics could help the program, so he gave instructions to his subordinates.
Even people in the film industry know what kind of scandals to create. That's why whenever a movie is being filmed and promoted, you always see rumors about the male and female leads. Sometimes, they even make an official announcement to generate buzz.
After the movie leaves theaters, it's quickly discovered that the once inseparable male and female leads act as if they don't know each other at all, with no further interaction. Some of them, who had previously officially announced their relationship, even post on Weibo saying that they have peacefully separated.
In reality, all of this was just hype, designed to draw attention to the male and female leads and the movie behind them.
Now, without Li Yan and the others even arranging any hype, IU herself has taken the lead.
Faced with such a great opportunity for hype provided by IU, Li Yan naturally wouldn't waste it.
After hearing Li Yan's instructions, a so-called backstage staff member of Hunan TV soon revealed on the Internet that IU had long been a fan of Lü Ming and had visited Lü Ming in his dressing room after Lü Ming came to Hunan TV's live broadcast building.
To this end, the whistleblower even released a photo that appeared to be taken secretly. In the photo, IU is seen standing next to Lü Ming like a little fangirl, looking at him with an adoring expression as if she is saying something to him.
At first, when people saw the so-called revelations from Hunan TV's backstage staff online, they didn't really pay much attention.
After all, it's not surprising that IU said she was a fan of Lü Ming. Just now, during the live broadcast of the latest episode of "Asian Kings", she admitted to the audience present and countless viewers in front of their TV and online screens that she was a fan of Lü Ming.
However, when they saw the pictures released by the whistleblower, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
[That look in his eyes... I believe IU now, he really is a fan of Lü Ming! Because I look at her like that too!]
[I never imagined our washed-up star would have such a glorious moment. A national treasure of the peninsula is actually a fan of this washed-up star. If we round it up, am I = IU?]
[Wow, the person upstairs is a genius! This girl is such a sweet treat!]
I always thought only ordinary people like us were fans of celebrities, but it turns out these big stars are just like us, they also have fantasies!
That's perfectly normal. Take my mom, for example. She's over forty and still follows obscure celebrities every day!
[Huh? Auntie? Does a washed-up coffee shop really have this kind of charm?]
[Can we talk about something serious? Didn't you guys see they're practically glued to each other? This definitely isn't a fan-idol relationship; there's definitely something wrong!]
Is this now considered serious?
As a professional relationship expert, I can confidently tell you from IU's eyes that what she looks at those lesser-known celebrities isn't just idol worship, but also a hint of love!
[Damn it, IU is the national sweetheart of the Korean Peninsula, what is she anyway?]
[Wow, I'm totally flustered! Hahaha!] [Wait, where's Dilraba? Where's Gulnazar? Your two husbands are about to be snatched away!]
To be honest, even someone as handsome and outstanding as me would probably find it hard to resist IU's affection!
The live broadcast from the Hunan TV building was still ongoing, but netizens' attention was completely drawn to the rumors between Lü Ming and IU, and they were discussing it wildly online. Some netizens from the Korean Peninsula even bypassed the Great Firewall to go to Weibo in China and argue with netizens there.
In the eyes of those netizens from the Korean Peninsula, Lü Ming is absolutely unworthy of IU. This is nothing more than a carefully prepared hype, with the aim of Lü Ming trying to ride on IU's popularity.
Compared to those netizens who were furious, those netizens in China were much more easygoing and didn't care much at all.
Lu Ming has had far too many scandals.
From Sister Zheng at the beginning to Dilraba before, and recently she even had a rumored relationship with Gulnazar, so when I saw the rumors between Lü Ming and IU, I didn't take them to heart at all.
But after seeing the way those netizens were so upset, I couldn't help but tease them.
"Reba."
At this moment, while accompanying Dilraba in her apartment and watching tonight's episode of "Sister Honey," I couldn't help but glance at Dilraba when I saw IU on TV making no attempt to hide her affection for Lü Ming.
To be honest, when I learned that Lü Ming was going to participate in this episode of "Asian King", I really didn't understand.
Given the state of Hunan TV and this show "Asian King," it's clear to everyone, not just the entertainment industry, that it's a mess.
Even the biggest stars in the music industry wouldn't dare jump into this fire pit.
Sister Mi really couldn't understand why Lü Ming would accept this invitation. Lü Ming's current popularity means he doesn't need to fight for this so-called popularity anymore; he's already a top star in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Even Sister Mi couldn't help but feel a little envious when she saw how popular Lü Ming was.
Especially the behind-the-scenes footage released by the crew of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" a while ago, which didn't contain much special content and was just some interactions between Lü Ming and Gulnazar, managed to dominate the headlines for more than ten days, with various discussions never stopping.
Even Nazha, who was originally not very popular, saw her popularity skyrocket because of her interactions with Lü Ming in those behind-the-scenes clips, which seemed to confirm the rumors between her and Lü Ming.
Just being linked to Lü Ming in a rumored relationship caused Nazha's popularity to soar, which is only because she hasn't had any works to back her up. Otherwise, she could definitely have become a top-tier actress.
This shows just how incredibly popular Lü Ming is. He doesn't need to use the "Asian King" program to further boost his popularity. Besides, Lü Ming isn't even in the music industry. Even if the Chinese music scene embarrasses itself and loses face, it won't affect Lü Ming at all.
Could it be that Hunan TV offered an exorbitant appearance fee?
At first, Sister Mi did wonder if this was the reason why Lü Ming accepted Hunan TV's invitation.
But soon Sister Mi shook her head, thinking it was unlikely.
Putting aside the fact that Lü Ming is not short of money, the drama "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" that he invested in has already made him a fortune. Not to mention that with Lü Ming's current popularity, he could probably earn as much as Hunan TV would if he went out to endorse a product.
Honey Sister is well aware of Lü Ming's current commercial value, which can be seen from Dilraba's case.
Since the hit drama "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer", Dilraba's commercial value has skyrocketed. A high-end endorsement can easily earn her tens of millions of yuan, and she can easily make a small fortune by endorsing just a few products.
And what about Lü Ming?
Its commercial value is even more terrifying than Dilraba's.
Sister Mi even heard within the industry that a certain tech company offered two small goals a year to have Lü Ming as their spokesperson.
Besides, although Lü Ming's Weibo account doesn't have the most followers yet, it definitely has the highest engagement and activity level, and almost every one of them is a real person.
Given the engagement of Lü Ming's Weibo followers, if Lü Ming really wanted to make money, he could easily earn several million yuan from a single Weibo ad.
He has no shortage of fame or money, and he's not even in the music industry. I really can't understand why Lü Ming chose to accept Hunan TV's invitation.
Could it be because of some musical dream?
However, as a friend, the only thing Sister Honey could do was express her support in front of the TV. So, before the show started, she went to Dilraba's apartment to see how Lü Ming would perform that night.
"fine!"
Dilraba spoke calmly to Sister Honey, but her wariness of IU had increased considerably.
As someone who's been through it all, when Dilraba saw the picture of IU and Lü Ming online, she immediately thought of her past self.
Back then, she looked at Lü Ming with admiration and curiosity, just like IU.
In Dilraba's eyes at the time, Lü Ming was like a mysterious treasure. She would always discover something different about Lü Ming and then gradually fall into the abyss of love.
Dilraba has always known that many people in the industry envy her and want to retrace her steps.
If they could win over Lü Ming, they might just rise to the top like Dilraba Dilmurat and become a top female star in the industry.
However, Dilraba didn't care about those ordinary fans in the entertainment industry at all.
Based on Dilraba's understanding of Lü Ming, Lü Ming would absolutely not have any thoughts about these people.
Even with Bingbing, who is glamorous and charming in the industry, Dilraba wasn't too worried.
Over this long period of time, the only person who made Reba wary was her fellow villager.
However, when facing that fellow villager, Dilraba was not afraid at all, believing that she would be the final victor in the end. After all, whether it was popularity or relationship with Lü Ming, she was closer to Lü Ming.
However, upon seeing IU, Dilraba couldn't help but feel a hint of worry. (End of Chapter)
