Zhou Xiaofeng hung up the phone.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension turned into ecstasy.

Then……

The next moment he was filled with emotion.

How many years has it been since I felt this way? Ever since he was crowned the King of Pop, he has always been at the top of the entertainment industry's food chain. He is always calm when talking to anyone, even when talking to the company's shareholders, he still maintains an attitude of equality.

but……

This time he found himself really nervous when he called Lu Yuan.

He found it difficult to maintain an equal attitude in front of Lu Yuan, and even felt in his heart that he was inferior to Lu Yuan.

You know, he is the king of pop!

Although he has lost some popularity in the past two years, but...

He is quite a well-known figure in the entertainment industry.

But why…

Do you feel like we are all not on the same level?

Zhou Xiaofeng really couldn't understand why. Was it because Shen Zhiwei's album was so awesome and he had competed with him once, so he automatically reached Shen Zhiwei's level?

still……

All right!

The reason why his album became popular again was also due to the songs written by Lu Yuan, and it also benefited from some of Lu Yuan's popularity...

Even though I don't want to admit it, but...

There’s nothing Zhou Xiaofeng can do, right?

At the same time, this year's "The Voice of China" program is really weird.

Many students actually sang Lu Yuan's songs during the blind auditions.

For example, "Lilac", "Salted Fish", and even difficult songs like "Love Until Death" are being challenged...

During the self-introduction session after the singing, several students admitted without hesitation that they were fans of Lu Yuan.

Then their biggest dream of coming to The Voice is...

Lu Yuan could hear their songs and noticed them...

Is this star-chasing thing even on the show?

Lu Yuan is so busy, how could he have the leisure to pay attention to you singing.

Zhou Xiaofeng shook his head. Of course he couldn't say these words. Not only could he not say them, but he gave these students some encouragement.

As time passed, Zhou Xiaofeng suddenly realized that there was another way to snatch students!

another?

right!

That is to play Lu Yuan's trump card!

Although many people in the circle are lining up to invite Lu Yuan to write songs for them, in fact only a few singers have the opportunity to have Lu Yuan write songs for them.

An Xiao is one of them, and besides An Xiao, I am also one of them...

As for people like Shen Zhiwei and Wang Long, there is no comparison.

after all……

They are all from Lu Yuan’s company. If Lu Yuan doesn’t write songs for them, who will he write for?

What about other companies?

All right!

Zhou Xiaofeng inexplicably felt a sense of honor, after all, Lu Yuan had written the title song "Stubborn" for his album.

So, this is his resource!

After seeing several students with good potential, Zhou Xiaofeng told the students generously that he was very familiar with Lu Yuan and had a very good relationship with him. If they came to his team, then meeting Lu Yuan and singing together would not be a dream.

It's true, the effect is really good. After the other three mentors met the students who were fans of Lu Yuan, they were helpless even if they tried to persuade them at the top of their lungs. They could only watch some excellent students join Zhou Xiaofeng's team.

They also thought about getting close to Lu Yuan.

but……

Lu Yuan had never written a song for them, and they were not really familiar with Lu Yuan. At most, they would nod and say hello when they met.

Then what?

That's all I can do.

King Zhou was very powerful in the early stages, and this trump card was always effective.

After all, the program crew is trying very hard to invite Lu Yuan to participate, and they are very sincere. Logically, Lu Yuan should come, right?

When the time comes, he will say hello to Lu Yuan on the show, and his show-off will be complete.

But in reality…

After Lu Yuan rejected "The Voice of China" again and again, King Zhou realized that something seemed wrong and he could no longer justify his pretense.

Especially towards the end, King Zhou felt more and more that something was not right.

As the final sprint night was approaching, King Zhou could no longer hold it in and finally decided to call Lu Yuan.

After all, he was asking for help from others, so King Zhou couldn't help but feel nervous.

However, the ending was good, and Lu Yuan agreed.

call!

King Zhou laughed.

Then he took out his cell phone.

"Mr. Zhong Zhen..."

"King Zhou, how is it?"

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. Lu Yuan still gives me some face. After all, we have always had a good relationship. I have successfully invited Lu Yuan to our Voice of China finals stage!"

"Wow! That's great!"

"By the way, Mr. Zhong Zhen, there is something I must tell you..."

"What's up?"

"I have invited Lu Yuan to come, but you have to apply for Lu Yuan's appearance fee in advance from the station. Really, I think three million is definitely not enough. You should be aware of Lu Yuan's popularity and status in the entertainment industry. Moreover, Lu Yuan attaches great importance to sincerity..."

"Don't worry, I've already written an application to the station. The appearance fee is 7 million, and there are also various subsidies. As long as Lu Yuan can show up..."

"Well, that's about right. Although Lu Yuan has never released an album, it is absolutely necessary to treat him like a superstar..."

"I see."

…

"Mr. Lu, are you planning to participate in The Voice in two days?"

"Well, yes, the other party is quite sincere."

"Oh, then I'll make arrangements?"

"Well, okay, go and arrange it!"

Wu Tingting was very surprised that Lu Yuan was able to participate in The Voice of China.

In the past, Mr. Lu from my own company always refused on the grounds that he was too busy, but why is he thinking of participating now?

When Wu Tingting heard Lu Yuan say that the other party was very sincere, she suddenly understood!

Yes, she understands!

turn out to be……

That's what it's all about!

Lu Yuan had no way of personally taking part in the subsequent fighting scenes in "A Chinese Odyssey".

nonsense!

If Lu Yuan could do the somersaults that Sun Wukong did when he appeared, he wouldn't be unable to even hold the dumbbells in the gym.

Although Lu Yuan has been exercising every day these days.

But after all, Lu Yuan found that his talent in action was very limited. He could think of an action in a standard way in his mind, but when he actually did it, it seemed funny and ridiculous.

He had thought before that when Gu Huai was filming a martial arts film, he would also play a supporting role and do some fancy operations to satisfy his own desire.

But now it seems, forget it.

After all, it's not a comedy action movie, and I would probably make a fool of myself if I were to go on stage.

He really didn't want to be like some young handsome guys who were obviously very bad, but had to pretend to be cool, and ended up just dancing awkwardly...

How deceptive is this?

Unable to personally perform some action scenes, Lu Yuan could only stay behind the scenes and shout to show his presence.

But after a long time, Lu Yuan couldn't help feeling a little bored.

Zhou Xiaofeng's call gave Lu Yuan an idea of ​​how to relieve his boredom.

It would be nice to go to other places to participate in some shows and relax.

More importantly...

The other party is very sincere, and his sincerity is growing!

Lu Yuan boasted that he was a person who respected others very much. Since the "Voice of China" program team had invited him so sincerely, and had invited him so many times...

You have to at least give him some face, right?

You mean seven million for appearance fee?

Feel sorry!

Is Lu Yuan someone who cares about these things?

Does he care?

I don't care at all!

…

Madrid, Spain.

Brando's manor was filled with the sound of birdsong, the fragrance of flowers and bursts of pleasant piano music.

but……

Most of these piano pieces are only half played, occasionally continuing the melody of the next piece, and then stopping abruptly.

Butler Bruce looked in the direction of the piano room.

He sighed deeply. He wanted to help, but he was completely unable to do so.

Ever since Brando came back from China, Bruce found that Brando had become a completely different person. Except for three meals a day, he would lock himself in the piano room all day long and play those half-finished songs.

Days like this have been going on for a long time.

Every time Bruce entered the piano room, he could see messy manuscripts on the floor and Brando sitting on the piano chair, seemingly lost in deep thought.

Bruce knew that the master was composing. No, rather than composing, it would be better to say that he was using all his strength to complete the piano pieces he brought from China...

“Boom…”

"No, no, it's not this taste, totally wrong!"

“Boom!”

"No, the tone is different. Oh my God, why can't I find the right taste? No, no, still no!"

"What is the subsequent melody? God, for my sake, I am about to go to the grave, please tell me what the subsequent score is!"

"Why……"

"tell me……"

Bruce came to the piano room again and knocked on Brando's door.

This time, he saw that the respected old man was sitting on the ground, and the ground was filled with various piano books...

The old man's hair was disheveled and he looked extremely unkempt.

"Master Brando..."

"Bruce, what do you think the melodies for these songs, 'Destiny', 'Wedding in a Dream' and 'Ode to Joy', should be? No matter how I connect them, they don't seem right!"

"Master Brando, I think this is your obsession, and it will hurt you." Bruce looked at Brando silently and couldn't help but say what was in his mind.

"Bruce, do you know what a pianist least wants to see in his life?"

"Master Brando, I know..."

"Lu Yuan is a hateful person. He wantonly uses his talent to tease all of us. He only plays the piano halfway through, and then nothing happens... Is there anything more painful in the world than this? Bruce, I heard that he is filming a movie recently... It's too unprofessional! Even if he wants to film, can't he finish the piano music first?"

“…”

Bruce was silent.

Yes!

The old man has been trying to restore those piano pieces these days.

but……

No matter how hard he tried, he was not satisfied with his subsequent melody.

In fact...

Not only Brando, but even several top pianists seem to have encountered such troubles.

They all seemed to be immersed in this state of wanting to complete it but being unable to do so.

after all……

They know that they were not the original creators of these songs, so no matter how they try to make up for them, it will be useless.

"Master, should I contact him and ask him to..."

"No! Let me try again!"

“…”

Bruce sighed in his heart as he watched his master stand up again and continue playing the familiar melody.

This Lu Yuan...

What a scourge.

It has brought great harm to the entire world piano world.

This person...

With such great talent, why do you just make movies?

Are you so idle?
