Chapter 108 Photo
The rainy season this summer was exceptionally long, and it was only a few days ago that the weather cleared up.
The upgraded underground recording studio looks brand new, and the four members of the Grey Vertigo band are busy preparing for their new album.
The single "Time Machine", released as the theme song of the movie, was a big hit, giving everyone a lot of confidence. Now, in order to produce a new album, everyone has put in a lot of effort and put forward many ideas.
Naturally, producing an album requires a clear division of labor. With the three people's strong humility and recommendation, Lu Shun was unsurprisingly assigned to the task of writing lyrics.
Although he was mentally prepared, Lu Shun still felt a little unsure. He was thinking about when he would go to Lin Chiran for advice, when he heard the bassist exclaim.
"Mr. Lu, you don't even let men go?" The bassist took out his mobile phone on the pretext of taking a break and stared at the push message on the screen with a look of shock.
Ever since Lu Shun made a big investment to upgrade the recording studio, several people have been jokingly calling him Mr. Lu. Lu Shun struggled a few times but failed and finally accepted it. But what does it mean that he doesn't even let men go? Lu Shun was speechless, probably thinking that the tabloids were just making up stories to attract attention.
Meng Yu came over with great interest when he heard this: "What, what? Let me see what it is this time..."
Lu Shun, who has been publicly appearing as the young master of Luming Pictures for many years, has more scandals than the other three combined. It's not that he lives a life of debauchery and drinking, but his image and the abilities he demonstrated in the company are really eye-catching compared to a group of unreliable second-generations.
In addition to the name of Luming Pictures, even if he was just having a meal with the crew as an investor, he might be listed in the entertainment section the next day.
Lu Shun had been dragged into hype and rumors so many times that he began to be too lazy to pay attention to it. However, he thought it was too much for men to come as well, so he decided to listen to what was fabricated.
"Hurt by love?! Bidding farewell to the popular young actress in tears, Master Lu resolutely turns around to have a tryst with a mysterious man..." Meng Yu read out the title in a rhythmic manner.
The other two couldn't hold back their laughter and burst out laughing, beating their chests.
Meng Yu flipped through the pages: "Oh, there are photos here... It's really a tearful farewell."
Lu Shun pulled out the mobile phone in his hand, looked at the photos on it, twitched his mouth and murmured: "Isn't it just that I forgot to bring an umbrella because it was raining? What an imagination..." He swiped down again and saw the photo of the so-called tryst with the man, and was suddenly stunned.
Seeing his reaction, the bassist came over curiously, stared at the screen for a while, and asked puzzledly: "Why does this boy's back look familiar?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Yu and the drummer also came over. After looking for a long time, Meng Yu slapped his thigh and said, "Isn't this Lin Chiran?"
"Hey! Just pat yourself! Why are you patting my thigh?" The drummer glared.
Meng Yu laughed it off, thinking it was quite funny, but he noticed that Lu Shun's expression was very subtle and he became confused.
Lu Shun stared at the words "Global Entertainment Report" in the manuscript, frowned, said hello to the three people, then took his cell phone and went out to call Lin Chiran.
“Oh, no way, Mr. Lu looks so serious, is he really the same as Producer Lin…?” The bassist widened his eyes.
Meng Yu rolled his eyes and patted his head: "How is that possible? They are friends, childhood friends, understand?"
"Oh, childhood friend..." The bassist rubbed his head, thought of something and said, "Hey, if I was also a childhood friend of the young master of Luming Pictures, we wouldn't have to worry about funding."
The drummer patted the bassist on the head again: "I'm sorry for wronging you!"
Listening to the two people quarreling, Meng Yu suddenly realized a problem that he had not paid much attention to in the past. Lin Chiran and Luming Film's young master Lu Shun grew up together and have known each other for many years. So his identity...
Everyone in the Grey Vertigo band who had worked with Lin Chiran was able to recognize him, and the fans who had been watching this figure for nearly ten years naturally guessed it quickly.
Huanyu has always been famous for its love of spreading false information, and no one believed such outrageous content. They all laughed at the editor, ignoring the Basic Law for the sake of performance.
At least it's a film about a small star. It's too funny to film a young master in the film industry and a well-known producer. What's more, the two have collaborated in a band before, and you can imagine them having a meal together. It's too much drama.
The fans were too lazy to even glance at him, but they did save the photos, and took a few more glances at Lin Chiran whom they hadn't seen for a long time, and wondered if the producer could come out to promote the business and create something new and exciting.
Although Lin Chiran occasionally appears as a producer in Wax&Wane related projects and interviews, or attends movie premieres as the theme song lyricist as he did some time ago.
Looking through the numerous photos and videos of activities during his past SLANT days, his loyal fans who still support him will inevitably feel that things are not good enough now. But when I think about the fact that I haven't completely retreated behind the scenes and have maintained a certain presence on stage, I gradually got used to this reassuring companionship.
Unexpectedly, this photo taken during a private meeting with Lu Shun would cause such a stir.
Huanyu seemed to have set its sights on the two, and within two days it released the so-called evidence, an old photo that showed the very young Lin Chiran and Lu Shun. They looked like they were joking, which aroused the interest of the onlookers.
[They all look like they are under 20 years old. Is there anyone familiar with them who can tell how old they are? 】
[I’ve never seen this photo before. The background looks like a practice room... I think it was before SLANT debuted? (So refreshing, very youthful)]
[Looking at the logo at the back, this isn't Shenghuang's practice room, weird. Moreover, they had nothing to do with each other at that time. How could a young master from the film industry and a trainee who had most likely not debuted yet know each other so early? 】
[I can't figure it out, there can't be some shameful relationship... The trainee and the young master made a deal for their debut or something... I feel like I've accidentally uncovered a big melon! 】
[The person upstairs is sick, is it the reincarnation of ivy? Just give me a pole and you'll climb along it? Luming is a company that mainly deals with film and television. How could it have anything to do with whether other people’s idols make their debut? 】
How else can you explain that? How come two people who had absolutely no connection knew each other ten years ago? Everyone knows that Lu Ming has been cooperating with Sheng Huang for many years, so it might just be a matter of Lu Shun saying something. 】
[Luming has been working with Shenghuang for many years, so maybe they met in the company. They are of similar age and personality, so it is not surprising that they got to know each other and chatted for a while. 】
Any news that was related to Lin Chiran would attract special attention. Add in Lu Shun, and soon someone found out the source of the logo in the photo, which made things even more confusing.
This is a small, unknown entertainment company that has been bankrupt for almost ten years.
Perhaps the only bright spot is that the names of Lin Chiran and Qi Puxin were successfully found in the list of former artists, making this matter intriguing.
An old, never-before-seen photo attracted fans who were familiar with their early experiences and immediately figured out the timeline.
[This photo... looks like it was taken when I was still working at that small company. Lin Chiran and Qi Puxin debuted once from this small company before their debut in SLANT. It seems that because the company was acquired by Shenghuang not long after, they became trainees again, and then formed SLANT and debuted. 】
[Is that so... So why did Lu Shun know Lin Chiran at this time? I still haven't explained it clearly...]
[Just know each other, isn’t it enough to have a good relationship? No, is there really anyone who believes the nonsense made up by Huanyu? It is better to believe that I am Qin Shi Huang than to believe this. 】
Although it was extremely outrageous and no one believed it, some bored netizens were curious about it and wanted to know how these two people who had nothing to do with each other knew each other. They started with Lu Shun and actually found some clues.
[In an interview with the band Grey Vertigo some time ago, Lu Shun said that he formed a band for a while ten years ago, but did not debut. Out of curiosity I looked it up and actually found a performance video of his previous band. Is this him? 】
In a video with quality comparable to that of a landline recording, the young Lu Shun, as the keyboardist of a band, performed in a very small live house.
The reason why this video has been preserved to this day is that one of the musicians with him is now a well-known music Mytuber. When he learned that Lu Shun had joined Grey Vertigo, he posted a blog post to talk about the band they had formed.
Noticing this, someone asked him questions through social platforms, asking whether he still remembered the two people in the photo and what the relationship between them was.
The blogger gave the answer shortly after seeing the photo.
[Isn’t this Lu Shun and his childhood friend? It’s really Lin Chiran. I thought I remembered the wrong person before and didn’t dare to recognize him. They have a very good relationship and say they grew up together. When our band was struggling, he helped us out...】
The blogger lamented the difficulties of those years, but the comments went viral.
[Lu Shun and Lin Chiran, are they childhood friends who have a very good relationship and grew up together? 】
[What's going on?] Not only do they know each other, but they have known each other since childhood? No... Can an ordinary person know the young master of Luming Pictures since childhood? ? 】
[Obviously not.] Luming Pictures has been around for many years. Someone like Young Master Lu should have attended an aristocratic school or had tutors at home since he was a child... Those who can know each other since childhood and call each other childhood friends must be old friends...】
[Outrageous. So which family does Lin Chiran belong to? People say he has no background and has relied on himself to get to where he is in the past ten years. What do you think now? No wonder he has been so successful in these years since his debut, we have to protect the young master! 】
【ha? What does it mean to have everything going smoothly these years since debut? Anyone who knows a little about SLANT knows that it has not been easy for them over the years! When he first debuted, he didn't have any good resources, and the seats at the opening events were not full. He finally got on a variety show and was treated so badly that he still laughed. He survived by relying on a bunch of late-night slots and desperately planning to gain popularity. He has come this far step by step! ? 】
[Who knows if there is a family background behind this? Fans, don’t be too naive. Maybe he is the young master of a high-ranking family of Shenghuang, acting out a script here, and he is targeting people like you. Don’t idols sell their personalities enough? 】
Admittedly, not everyone thinks this logic is reasonable. Some people even doubt the fact that Lin Chiran and Lu Shun have known each other since childhood and grew up together, thinking that the blogger might have made a mistake.
But not long after, Lu Shun, who could have pretended to ignore it, personally posted a blog to give the answer, leaving people puzzled.
