This top celebrity got drunk and acted crazy, and everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry bur

what?
A new song that rivals "Ode to Young China"?

Although Feng Xiaogang doesn't know much about the music industry, he is well aware of the miracle of the song "Ode to Young China".

Not only did it help Lü Ming win the championship of that episode of "Asian King of Pop," directly reversing the public opinion that Hunan TV was originally on the verge of despair, but it also established Lü Ming's image as a positive role model, prompting even official figures to step in and support him.

It's worth noting that over the years, only a young artist like Lü Ming has managed to get official support for him.

It can be said that the song "Ode to Young China" made a great contribution to this achievement.

During this period, the song "Ode to Young China" remains very popular. Not only does it still occupy the top spot on the music charts, but various positive-energy video clips using "Ode to Young China" as background music are also emerging one after another, and even official media have reposted many of them.

Over the years, there have been very few songs with such influence as "Ode to Young China".

If Lü Ming could present a song on the Spring Festival Gala stage that is no less impressive than "Ode to Young China," it would definitely cause a sensation.

Feng Xiaogang has no doubt about this. You can tell from the fact that fans of Lü Ming's songs on the internet are asking Lü Ming to return to the music scene and continue writing and singing songs almost every day.

But can Lü Ming really produce such high-quality new songs?

Feng Xiaogang couldn't help but have some doubts about this. Although the song "Ode to Young China" became a hit because of Hunan TV's "Asian King" variety show and the support and reposting by various official media, it is no wonder that it is so popular now.

However, this does not mean that the song "Ode to Young China" is not excellent.

In such a short time, Feng Xiaogang couldn't help but have some doubts about asking Lü Ming to come up with another new song that was no less than "Ode to Young China".

Feng Xiaogang doesn't know much about the music scene, but he knows from the comments online that Lü Ming is definitely talented. Feng Xiaogang doesn't doubt that, but releasing a new song in such a short time, especially with this promise, seems like a spur-of-the-moment decision by Lü Ming.

"Are you really sure you can produce that?"

"If it's really that good, then I can promise you that you don't need to participate in any of the previous rehearsals, you only need to participate in the final rehearsal!"

Although Feng Xiaogang had some doubts, he still decided to give it a try.

If Lü Ming can really come up with a new song that is no less than "Ode to Young China", then it will definitely attract countless people's attention, and for the Spring Festival Gala program team, it will be a huge win.

If Lü Ming cannot produce a new song that is no less than "Ode to Young China," then Feng Xiaogang will have a good reason to give an explanation to his superiors.

"No problem, I'll send you the new song in the next couple of days!"

Lu Ming didn't care about the doubt in Feng Xiaogang's words at all, and spoke confidently to Feng Xiaogang on the other end of the phone.

A while ago, Lü Ming obtained a new song through the system.

Originally, Lü Ming planned to sing the song when he had some free time next year, but now that the Spring Festival Gala is inviting him to participate, he might as well premiere the song on the Spring Festival Gala stage. Moreover, in Lü Ming's opinion, the song is perfect for the Spring Festival Gala stage.

"That's good!"

"Then we'll wait for your new song!"

Seeing that Lü Ming was so confident, Feng Xiaogang didn't say anything more and hung up the phone, waiting for Lü Ming to send over the new song in the next couple of days.

"Go ahead and get busy, I'll go and tell the higher-ups about this!"

Looking at the members of the Spring Festival Gala directing team who were 'eagerly waiting' to the side, Feng Xiaogang waved his hand and walked over to his superiors, intending to first explain the current situation.

"What's going on?"

"Shouldn't Director Feng be talking to you about movies? Why are you talking about music instead?"

After Lü Ming hung up the phone, Teacher He couldn't contain his curiosity and asked Lü Ming a question.

Like Li Yan, Teacher He originally thought that Feng Xiaogang was calling to talk to Lü Ming about the movie, but he didn't hear anything about the movie from the conversation. Instead, they talked about music, which made Teacher He a little confused.

Could it be that Feng Xiaogang plans to have Lü Ming compose a theme song for his next movie?

That shouldn't be happening!

Given Lü Ming's lazy attitude, he's too lazy to even write and release his own songs, so how could he possibly create a theme song for someone else's movie?

If we're talking about those creators in the industry who are short of money, then perhaps there's a slight possibility.
But this is Lü Ming!

Even if Lü Ming were poor, he wouldn't be so poor as to write movie theme songs to make money. If Lü Ming were short of money, he could easily earn several million by endorsing a few advertisements. Dilraba and Gulnazar would definitely give him money without any hesitation.

"It's not a movie!"

"Well, Director Feng wants to invite me to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala!"

Upon hearing Teacher He's question, Lü Ming smiled and then addressed Teacher He and Li Yan in front of him.

Lu Ming trusted the two of them to some extent; even if he told them, they wouldn't spread the news to the outside world.

Moreover, Lü Ming believes that his new song will definitely impress Feng Xiaogang, which means that Lü Ming's participation in the Spring Festival Gala is almost a certainty. It is estimated that when Lü Ming submits the new song to the Spring Festival Gala program team, that will be the moment when the Spring Festival Gala program team announces that Lü Ming will participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala, so there is no need to hide it.

"Spring Festival Gala?"

Upon hearing that Feng Xiaogang had called to invite Lü Ming to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, He Jiong realized that Feng Xiaogang was now the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala program and nodded in sudden understanding.

"No, you're making demands of the Spring Festival Gala production team?"

However, just as Teacher He finished nodding, he seemed to remember something and asked Lü Ming with a shocked expression.

This is the Spring Festival Gala!

Even if Teacher He received an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala, he would probably be extremely honored and wouldn't dare to make any demands. But now, facing the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala, Lü Ming dares to make such casual demands, especially the 'unreasonable' demands of not going through the selection process and not participating in rehearsals.

If He Jiong were the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala program, he would probably slap Lü Ming across the face; he's really ungrateful. However, if Lü Ming can actually bring a new song that's no less impressive than "Ode to Young China," then all these conditions seem reasonable to He Jiong.

It's worth noting that compared to Feng Xiaogang, Teacher He clearly understands the influence of the song "Ode to Young China" much better.

It can be said that the song "Ode to Young China" saved their Hunan TV program "Asian King" and has now become a widely circulated classic.

According to Teacher He's understanding, "Ode to Young China" has become a classic song in many schools, and some schools even use it as their school song during morning exercises and breaks.

"Can you tell me what song it is?"

Teacher He asked Lü Ming with some curiosity, wondering what kind of song Lü Ming could say was no less than "Ode to Young China".

That is to say, he knows Lü Ming somewhat and knows that Lü Ming never makes boastful statements on important matters; otherwise, Teacher He would think that Lü Ming was talking nonsense.

Even the most creative geniuses couldn't possibly produce another classic song in such a short time that rivals "Ode to Young China".

When He Jiong first heard "Ode to Young China," he was quite moved, never expecting that Lü Ming could create such an excellent song.

You'll find out then!

When asked by Teacher He, Lü Ming did not reveal anything, but had a mysterious smile on his face, as if he was not under any pressure about being selected for this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Seeing the slightly mysterious smile on Lü Ming's face, Teacher He became even more curious, itching with curiosity.

After a brief chat with Li Yan and Teacher He, Lü Ming returned to the filming crew of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" in Xinjiang Province that afternoon.

Over the next few days, Lü Ming worked with the crew of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" to wrap up the production.

Fortunately, before attending the Hunan TV Golden Eagle Awards Ceremony, the filming of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" was already nearing its end, with only a little filming left.

"Filming is finished!"

As Lü Ming and Nazha finished filming their last scene, Lu Hao, who was squatting behind the camera, couldn't help but shout out his excitement. As the director shouted "Filming wrapped," the entire crew's emotions instantly soared.

"Finally finished filming!"

Naza sighed softly, but a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, as if she was reluctant to part with everything she had now.

For Gulnazar, the time she spent filming "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" with Lü Ming was the happiest period of her life since entering the entertainment industry.

But from today onwards, it won't be so easy to stay by Lü Ming's side like this again.

As an artist in the entertainment industry, Gulnazar knows exactly how busy those artists are.

If you're not popular, that's fine, but once you have some fame, all sorts of jobs and announcements come your way. You can see that from Dilraba's case.

Since the hit drama "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer", Dilraba has hardly had any rest. She's either participating in various programs or running around for various appearances.

Although Gulnazar doesn't yet have the same level of popularity as Dilraba, her popularity has risen rapidly recently thanks to the highly anticipated drama "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" and her various close interactions and rumors with Lü Ming.

Not long ago, Nazha's boss, Cai Yinong, reminded her that after he finished filming "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City", the company would prepare some announcements for her.

Nazha didn't have much resistance to Cai Yinong's arrangements.

Just like Dilraba's thoughts, Nazha also clearly knew that if she wanted to defeat those competitors and stand proudly beside Lü Ming, she had to constantly improve herself.

Only by keeping up with Lü Ming's ever-advancing pace can one avoid falling behind.

That evening, after the wrap party, Nazha went to Lü Ming's room early, and then seemed to want to completely release her longing and reluctance to part with Lü Ming, which made her seem a little crazy.

Faced with the seemingly crazy Naza, even with the system's enhancement of his physical abilities, Lü Ming was still struggling to keep up, feeling as if his entire body had been completely drained.

The next morning, after seeing Nazha off, Lü Ming called Lu Hao over to wait for the people from Kiwi and Penguin Video.

After filming wrapped up yesterday for "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City", Lü Ming and Lu Hao immediately notified iQiyi and Tencent Video to come over and discuss the follow-up arrangements.

Sure enough, after receiving Lü Ming's message, Gangzi and Hu Tao rushed over to Lü Ming's place.

It's just that when Lü Ming notified them yesterday, it was a bit late; otherwise, the two of them would have flown over last night.

For iQiyi and Tencent Video, consistently providing high-quality content is the foundation of their business. Therefore, they attach great importance to Lü Ming's "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City," considering it a major production for next year. They hope that "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" will become as popular as Lü Ming's previous work, "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," helping them expand their market share.

"Why did you two come together?"

Seeing that Gangzi and Hu Tao arrived at his place at almost the same time, Lü Ming smiled and welcomed them in.

"How could we not come!"

Gangzi and Hu Tao exchanged a glance, smiled, and followed Lü Ming inside.

Once Gangzi and Hu Tao followed Lü Ming into the pre-booked screening room, Lü Ming nodded to Lu Hao, who was busy not far away. Then, a few simply edited clips from "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue" were played in front of the projector.

Although filming only wrapped up yesterday, during the shooting process, Lü Ming and Lu Hao had already edited together some key shots to prepare for today's screening.

It's important to understand that filming all the scenes for a movie or TV series is only the first step towards its release; the next step is editing.

Editing is no easier than filming, and it's even a bit more important.

Many excellent works have gone unnoticed because they were not edited well, while some works that were originally quite ordinary have become much better after being edited well.

For example, even though Lü Ming already had a basic outline of the entire work in his mind, he would still be working with Lu Hao and the editor for at least the next ten days to ensure that the final product would closely resemble what he envisioned. (End of Chapter)
