"Hmm, this 'Nine-Left Fish' (a nickname for a person who has failed the exam) seems to be doing quite well. Lu Yuchen's new song is pretty good, it's quite talented!"
"Yes, but I feel that the lyrics of this song play a big role; it's just too famous."
That Qinglian Jushi (a famous Buddhist monk) was incredibly popular online before; his lyrics were excellent, and they greatly enhanced the song.
"I heard that he originally wanted to buy the rights to the second half of the story from director Xu Lu, but unfortunately, Xu Lu wouldn't sell it to him."
"Director Xu's status is undeniable. Do you really think you can buy the license without some connection?"
...
After Lu Yuchen posted "Beautiful Scenery and Good Times", the discussion among netizens about his "9 missing fish" (a slang term for someone who misses the exam) decreased somewhat.
And everyone thought the song was pretty good.
In fact, even some industry insiders who have spoken out in the music circle have mostly praised this song:
"Lu Yuchen should be considered one of the more talented young singers. The music he set to the lyrics of Qinglian Jushi is also quite good."
"Yes, I think the netizens' teasing is a bit excessive. As far as I know, Chenchen is one of the few hardworking singers in the industry."
"I can testify to this. Although Lu Yuchen didn't continue his studies at school, he worked very hard in private, staying up until midnight every day..."
"I personally have high hopes for Chenchen. If he can hone his skills for a few more years, he will definitely have a place among the top stars in the music industry..."
...
"Brother Qi, look, people in the industry are praising this song non-stop. Can my alarm be lifted now?"
Seeing these comments, Lu Yuchen asked with a smug look on his face.
Qi Ge, acting as the agent, had a rather strange expression and said:
"Um, Chenchen, although your new song is indeed quite good, and your fans really like it."
However, these industry insiders are contacted by the company when they are recruiting, mainly to create momentum for you within the industry.
So you can't be arrogant, and you can't forget the things that were arranged beforehand. Only then can you live up to the company's investment in your development!
Hearing this, Lu Yucheng immediately became frustrated and said:
"It's all that damned Xu Lu's fault. If he hadn't been making things difficult for me, I wouldn't have had so much trouble."
"Isn't it just that you want the second half of the lyrics? Why is he being so stingy? It's not like he's not going to pay..."
Hearing the complaint, the agent, Brother Qi, smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Chenchen. Although Xu Lu is very famous in the film and television industry, he is almost universally disliked in the music industry. So this time, the company is also preparing to take this opportunity to push your status to a higher level."
How do we push it?
Having already learned the benefits of fame, Lu Yucheng immediately became interested upon hearing this.
However, the agent, Brother Qi, shook his head and said:
"I'm not too clear on the specifics of the process, but in short, it's a good thing for you. Just wait and see."
"Alright, I'll wait then!"
Lu Yuchen nodded.
In fact, by that evening, he saw several trending topics related to himself and that surnamed Xu:
It is rumored that Xu Lu rejected Lu Yuchen, the Prince of Stars, causing a song that was about to be perfect to end in regret...
Industry insiders speculate that director and famous singer Xu Lu is suspected of suppressing newcomers in the music industry…
Lu Yuchen's new song "Beautiful Scenery and Auspicious Time" has been released, reportedly created to commemorate the Taoist master Qinglian...
...
"Wow, the company is really something! That guy surnamed Xu is probably going to be torn to shreds by netizens!"
After seeing the trending topic, Lu Yuchen was in a great mood, feeling that he had finally gotten his revenge.
at the same time.
Those netizens who already lacked discernment, and were further influenced by those with ulterior motives, indeed began to offer one-sided comments on the matter:
"This young singer is quite good. Director Xu's handling of this matter was a bit unreasonable."
"Yes, it's just using half of his poem, and they won't even agree to that. It seems a bit stingy."
“That’s right! The Qinglian Hermit generously let others use it, but Xu Lu disagreed…”
"It's rare to see a talented young singer, so why suppress them?"
...
"I originally thought that people like them would be broad-minded, but I didn't expect them to be so petty. I don't understand."
"Isn't this Director Xu from the film industry? He's not even in the music industry, so why is he being so stingy?"
“Lu Yuchen is commemorating the Qinglian Hermit. I think this should be supported, not the way it is now.”
"His character is terrible. He's capable of doing something like this. He's utterly despicable..."
...
"I'm so angry, Xu Lu, you should take a look. People online are saying you're stingy. These people don't know anything, yet they're all making baseless comments."
Dilraba was the first to hear the news and the first to be furious.
She quickly told Xu Lu about the comments from netizens, and also complained that these netizens were just blindly following the trend.
Xu Lu glanced at it and said:
"How interesting, huh? They're actually planning to use me as a stepping stone to promote a newcomer to the top?"
Heh, I wonder just how capable this newcomer, who's planning to climb over me to get ahead, really is!
Dilraba urged anxiously:
"Xu Lu, you're still muttering to yourself here, while the new song has already been released..."
"It's okay, he can release a new song, but I can't? You wait, I'll beat him to a pulp right now!"
After saying that, Xu Lu turned and left.
Fortunately, today's scenes have already been filmed; otherwise, the set would probably have descended into chaos once the director left.
