"Brother Qi, what are you talking about so early in the morning? What new song? Didn't I just release a new song a couple of days ago?"
After listening to his agent's words, Lu Yuchen, still half asleep, didn't take them seriously at all.
Seeing his appearance, the manager knew perfectly well that this guy had definitely stayed up all night again.
Otherwise, how could he be in this half-dead state now?
At this point, all I could do was ask, somewhat annoyed:
"Chenchen, were you playing games all night again last night?"
I've told you so many times, you should maintain a regular lifestyle lately, your concert is coming up soon..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yucheng quickly and somewhat guiltily denied it:
"Hey, Qi-ge, I didn't play games yesterday. I studied late, which is what you asked me to do!"
I'm so sleepy right now, can you let me sleep a little longer, and wake me up in... no, in three hours, okay?
The agent was genuinely angry this time.
When he walked in, all he could smell was the stench of smoke and alcohol filling the room.
The computer monitor is still on, the game screen is blurry and reddish, so where would any learning materials come from?
It's obvious that Lu Yuchen is addicted to lying.
The agent didn't expose him before because he wanted to save face for him.
But this time things are so urgent, we can't wait even a minute longer, so why would we talk to you again in three hours?
In a moment of panic, the agent grabbed a water glass from the side, saw that there was still a little bit of water in it, and poured it directly onto Lu Yuchen's face.
The icy water splashed on his face, and Lu Yuchen jolted awake instantly.
He stared blankly at his agent, asking incredulously:
"Brother Qi, did you just splash water on me? What did you do? Can't a person sleep in a little longer this early in the morning?"
The agent, also with a stern face, said in a daze:
"Chenchen, let me tell you something important first, and then I'll apologize. Here's what happened..."
"Wha...what? Xu Lu released a new song, what does that have to do with me?"
Lu Yuchen, who finally understood, still looked puzzled.
But his agent quickly handed him his phone and tapped the 'start' button on a music player.
The next moment, the sound of "When will the moon be bright?" filled the entire room.
The puzzled look on Lu Yuchen's face quickly disappeared as the lyrics appeared, and he turned deathly pale.
"Wha...what's going on? His lyrics are almost identical to mine. Brother Qi, did he plagiarize my lyrics? They're so similar!"
Lu Yuchen screamed in terror.
The agent sighed deeply and said:
"Chenchen, haven't you realized yet? All the lyrics of this song come from that song 'Shuidiao Getou'."
Xu Lu simply composed music based on the original work, and then added a vocal performance.
Lu Yuchen immediately became excited and said:
"How could he do that? He didn't get authorization. How could he use these as his own lyrics?"
The agent looked at Lu Yuchen as if he were an idiot.
But seeing that this guy really didn't understand, he could only continue to explain:
"Chenchen, have you forgotten something? That is, we didn't actually get any authorization from anyone."
The so-called authorization from Qinglian Jushi is just for outsiders to hear. Qinglian Jushi is dead, so where would the authorization come from?
Moreover, Xu Lu himself wrote the second half of the poem; if we can use it, then of course he can use it too.
"Huh? What do we do now?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuchen was instantly dumbfounded, completely at a loss for what to do.
He had told so many lies before that he even started to believe them himself.
Now that I've come to my senses, I realize that the so-called authorization from the Hermit of Qinglian was completely fake.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuchen looked longingly at his manager, Brother Qi, hoping to find some support from him.
But the agent was also having a headache at this moment, and said:
"There's nothing I can do. Let's wait for the company's decision. The only thing that's in our favor right now is that your song doesn't use the other person's poems."
So in terms of song quality, this song "When Will the Moon Be Bright Again" is better than your "Beautiful Scenery and Fine Time", but the other party has no real solution.
However, this time the company's attempt to give you a push will likely be slower. You'll need to keep a low profile for a while to avoid any further accidents.
"Huh? How can this be? It's just that guy surnamed Xu released a song too, what does that have to do with raising my status? Why slow it down?"
Lu Yuchen didn't understand and shouted:
"Brother Qi, you have to help me get this. If I take just one more step, I can become a top star in the industry, which will be good for the company too!"
The agent sighed and said:
"Chenchen, haven't you figured this out yet? Before, the only way to get you to the top was to step on Xu Lu."
Now that someone has risen to power and stepped on your head, how can you possibly climb back up? No matter how powerful the company is, they can't just create a new status for you out of thin air.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuchen deflated like a balloon.
But soon, he started cursing incessantly:
"It's that damned Xu Lu! Why didn't he authorize me? And now he's stabbing me in the back. That kid deserves to die, he really deserves to die!"
Seeing this, the agent's lips twitched.
Although he knew before that Lu Yucheng was actually a slacker, he was just good-looking and had some musical talent, which is why the company pushed him so hard.
But in private, this guy's character is worse than most people's. He not only smokes and drinks, but also likes to stay up all night playing games, and he goes too far in some of his private affairs.
As the agent, Qi Ge has helped the other party handle this kind of situation many times.
In the past, Lu Yuchen would still be a hot commodity in the company, and his agent would naturally turn a blind eye to it because there was profit to be made.
But now...
Lu Yuchen himself may not have realized it yet, but his agent, Qi Ge, had already keenly sensed some information.
He felt that the company might be giving up on promoting Lu Yucheng.
Although it was just a feeling, the agent, Qi Ge, felt that he was probably pretty close to the truth.
Seeing Lu Yucheng cursing and venting his anger, he didn't think of offering any advice, but simply said:
"Chenchen, you should rest first. Keep a low profile for now and listen to what the company has to say."
I'm going out to take care of something. Call me if you need anything...
After saying this, seeing that Lu Yuchen didn't react, the agent immediately turned and left.
After walking outside and closing the door, Qi Ge could still faintly hear shouting and cursing coming from inside the room.
He shook his head and thought to himself:
"This guy is no longer of any value, but that's fine too. I've really had enough of him these past two years!"
