"Hey, Xu Lu, are you hiding something from me?"
After answering the phone, Xu Lu was completely dumbfounded and speechless upon hearing the girl's words.
What am I hiding from her?
What's going on?
Thinking of this, Xu Lu said somewhat irritably:
"Hey girl, are you drunk in broad daylight? Otherwise, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"Heh, it seems some people don't consider me a friend anymore. They're hiding everything they do now!"
Dilraba was no pushover either, and said something strangely from the other side.
Xu Lu was puzzled. What had he been hiding? Could it be...?
Just then, something suddenly occurred to him, and he guessed:
"Hey girl, you're not talking about those songs on Fireworks Music, are you?"
"Aren't you participating in a TV show? How come you have time to care about these things? That's so unprofessional!"
"You...you're the one who's neglecting your duties! I also have rest periods while participating in the show, so don't change the subject!"
Dilraba, annoyed, raised her little fist and pressed on:
"Tell me, did you not even tell us about something as important as releasing a song?"
"Did you? Did you? Boss Yang was just saying you're heartless, you've already forgotten about us as soon as you left."
"Ahem, stop, stop! I think it's either Mr. Yang or you talking badly about me!"
Xu Lu said something, then explained:
"Besides, didn't you see that my songs are all movie soundtracks or theme songs? They're all for promotional purposes."
Besides, this was planned and arranged by our company's producer, what does it have to do with me? You need to be reasonable!
"Is that so!"
Reba was skeptical, but she quickly thought of something else and said:
"I'll let the first two songs go, but let me ask you, what's with that 'Just Once' song you sang in the live stream just now?"
"Hey, you little rascal, you've been sneaking around in my livestream like a turtle again!"
Xu Lu immediately came to his senses.
He asked how Dilraba on the other side knew about these things. It turned out that the girl was using the same old trick again, hiding in the live stream.
Reba was somewhat embarrassed and angry, and said:
"Who's the turtle? You're the turtle! I just happened to glance at it and saw it!"
By the way, how's your movie coming along? Hope it's not some terrible film, or people will criticize it.
"Pshaw! How could a movie I directed be a bad one? It'll definitely be a box office hit."
Xu Lu answered without hesitation:
"You have no idea, I had already made it clear back then that a billion-dollar box office was a sure thing, it would definitely be a blockbuster!"
"That would be great! Alright, if you don't tell me next time you release a song, hmph!"
Unexpectedly, Dilraba has become quite decisive now. After making a 'threat' over the phone, she hung up on her own initiative.
Xu Lu was stunned for a moment, then said:
"Not bad, this girl has started to hang up the phone first after just a few days. Interesting!"
But this guy hung up so quickly, he probably knew this person would call and ask me the same question, right?
That's right!
As soon as Reba hung up the phone, another number called, with the contact name listed as 'Boss Yang'.
Xu Lu answered the call and spoke first:
"Hey, Mr. Yang, you didn't just find out I sang those songs, so you're calling to ask?"
This time, it was Ms. Yang's turn to be stunned, but she quickly countered with a question:
"What? Can't I even ask? Now that you're doing well, you've forgotten about us who were still suffering?"
"How could I dare, Boss Yang? Don't try to play the victim with me. It's none of your business if anyone's in dire straits!"
Xu Lu ruthlessly exposed the other party's excuse.
However, he wasn't wrong.
No matter what, Mr. Yang is one of Xia Lifei's directors, and also the company's biggest cash cow.
Even if someone schemes against him, it's just some petty tricks that won't affect Boss Yang's core business.
As for tactics like shelving Xu Lu, it's even less likely that they would be used on Boss Yang!
Mr. Yang probably knew this himself, so he quickly changed the subject, saying:
"Wow, Xu Lu, I only thought you had some talent in acting before, but I didn't expect that you would have made such a name for yourself in the music industry in just a few days."
That song 'The You of the Past' is currently number one on the Fireworks Music chart, right? I heard from Dilraba that two other songs of hers are also wildly popular online..."
Hearing the teasing from the other end, Xu Lu sighed and said:
"Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it. After all, someone who is too outstanding will shine no matter how much they try to hide it."
Well, I just accidentally sang two songs, and I got on this chart and that chart.
"If I wait until my movie is released, I'm sure all sorts of awards like the Golden Horse Awards and the Hong Kong Film Awards will come knocking on my door."
"Haha, you wish!"
Mr. Yang was amused and said:
"But on another note, your promotional method is quite impressive; you actually thought of using a song to promote the movie."
"Take advantage of this hype and hurry up and release your oddly named movie, lest tens of millions go down the drain."
"Mr. Yang, if you can talk, then talk more. If you can't, then... what do you mean by 'to throw money down the drain'?"
Xu Lu said irritably:
"Our film is made with high-quality materials. Promotion is just a supplementary role. There is no need to worry about it not selling at the box office!"
