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

Chapter 58: Exclamations of surprise filled the air! A frenzy erupted! The Lu Bu of the Chinese entertainment industry, a washed-up star, was wiped out! [Seeking monthly votes]

"I disagree!" Teacher Hua suddenly spoke up, immediately attracting everyone's attention: "My opinion is not the same as Teacher Yang's. I don't think this show-off's singing skills are anything special."

"On the contrary, I think he made some rather bold innovations in terms of singing style. Well, I guess this can be considered an innovation? Using a rapper-like singing style in the chorus is, in my opinion, completely superfluous. This kind of radical modification that is incompatible with the orthodox singing style greatly affects the integrity of a song!"

"Well, that's all. Don't be angry that I said these things, Brother Show-off. After all, I personally mind this kind of behavior of adapting songs based on emotional experiences. Of course, this only represents my personal opinion, and others may like it."

The girls in the audience suddenly fell silent.

Although they usually call Teacher Hua handsome and are considered half fans, most of them are attracted by his looks. Hu Ka's performance just now, whether it was the quality of the song itself or the emotional impact of his singing, perfectly captivated almost all the audience members present. Teacher Yang was criticizing the song's intention as incorrect, so people couldn't say anything.

But Teacher Hua actually denied even the talent of a nobody. Isn't that indirectly saying that the audience has no taste?
All of a sudden.

A chorus of shouts immediately erupted from the audience.

"There's something fishy going on!"

"Shady! Shady! Shady!"

"Teacher Hua, are you jealous of that nobody's talent?!"

Teacher Hua: "???"

Why are these viewers, who usually idolize him, suddenly acting strangely?
You bunch of fake fans!!

"Look at you, talking nonsense. Even the audience can't stand it anymore." Lu Ming looked at Teacher Hua with a wry smile, then said earnestly, "If you really don't like me, you can perform a ritual and cast a spell on me at the next concert, instead of standing here pretending to know everything."

"Regardless of whether my singing skills and innovations are good or bad, that's for the audience to judge. Let's discuss the degree of innovation in the music."

"Whether it's singing or original compositions, everyone tries to be down-to-earth. But you, sir, boldly innovated and directly adapted the music into 'funeral music.' Before the concert even started, fans had already bought coffins. You don't need to buy tickets to enter the concert; you just need to bring your own coffin as your admission ticket!"

“A while ago, I told my friends that I wanted to go to Teacher Hua’s concert. My friends all thought I had been cyberbullied to the point of mental breakdown and didn’t want to live anymore. My assistant even cried and begged me not to leave. I had just arrived at the concert entrance when, hey, guess what? The Black and White Impermanence were checking my ‘tickets’ on either side of the entrance. I didn’t bring a coffin, so they wouldn’t let me in!”

"When Teacher Hua holds a concert, those who know the ropes think it's a singing performance, while those who don't might think it's some kind of cult ritual. When it comes to innovation, who can surpass you?!"

Teacher Hua: "!!!"

You damn nobody, if I don't completely ban you tonight, I'm not worthy of being called a god in the Chinese music scene!

【Pfft hahaha! 】

[This guy is really something else! He even made Teacher Hua's face turn green with sarcasm!]

I'm jealous of his talent!

[Oh no, this washed-up guy was so talented before, with original pop hits and top-notch auditory enjoyment, and suddenly he's become a powerhouse. All the attention is on him now, and we've completely forgotten his true nature.]

[His true colors as a nobody are just going crazy.]

[They're holding a sacrificial ceremony in this movie, and I'm dying of laughter at all their ridiculous slang. Can a normal person come up with such cheesy lines?]

He spoke my mind and did what I wanted to do but never dared to.

[The number one internet mouth double, truly deserving of the title!]

The live chat exploded immediately.

At this moment, the packed audience seats were filled with undisguised laughter.

"You idiot!!!" Hearing the commotion in the audience, Teacher Hua felt utterly humiliated. She glared at the young man in front of her, her bloodshot eyes looking like she wanted to kill him: "This is defamation, slander, a serious violation of my right to reputation! I'm going to sue you! I'll send you a lawyer's letter! Get ready for court!"

"You've already done it before," Lu Ming said dismissively. "Stop acting crazy in front of me, okay?"

"I'm crazy? You're saying I'm crazy?!" Teacher Hua pointed at her face in disbelief, jumping up and down in a panic.

Seeing that the young man seemed to have suffered a great shock, his fair face turning red and purple in turns, just like a Sichuan opera face-changing act, Lü Ming immediately reached out and gently pushed him. The slightly mentally broken Teacher Hua was instantly pushed down into the chair like a weak woman who could not withstand any force.

"If you dare bark again, I wouldn't mind pulling out your newly replaced dentures!"

Teacher Hua remained silent, only shutting her mouth in humiliation.

immediately.

Lu Ming glared at Teacher Yang with hostility.

"What...what are you doing?!" Teacher Yang instinctively took a step back. This bastard's mouth was really too much. Teacher Yang, who was originally confident that he could use moral blackmail to ruin the reputation of the unknown actor, was now unsure of himself.

Lu Ming's expression suddenly turned serious: "You said I insulted the word 'music,' that I disgraced the profession of singer, that I have no respect for music, and that I would cause chaos in the entire Chinese music scene, is that it?"

"What did I say wrong?" Teacher Yang stared at him firmly.

Lu Ming chuckled, his eyes suddenly turning fierce:

"Yes, I'm wrong, you're right. You're the mentor, you're the senior, you're amazing, you're so superior!"

"You recently rearranged the song 'The Sharpshooter's Song,' and you were all smiles throughout, using a cheerful singing style to make the whole audience boil over. You must have felt incredibly good hearing the fans' praise for you, right?"

"I'm going to fuck your mother!"

"For the sake of traffic and to grab attention, you didn't seek inspiration from life, nor did you adapt your own insights. Instead, you took lyrics written with the blood of our ancestors from our tragic and profound history, put them on a pop music melody, and then used your standard Kunqu opera style to create a lot of noise on stage."

"Do you think you're very handsome?"

Do you know how tragic history is? Do you know how hard life was for people in the past? Do you know how much blood our ancestors shed? No, you don't know. All you know is that you want to be famous, you want to be popular!

"When I saw that you, Biyang Wanyi, would stop at nothing for traffic, even using your own ancestors as bargaining chips, I knew that the Chinese music scene was truly finished!"

Teacher Yang's expression changed completely.

Even the live stream chat paused for a moment, everyone was shocked by Lü Ming's words.

Teacher Yang did release a cover song called "The Sharpshooter's Song" some time ago, which caused quite a stir in the music scene and received rave reviews. At that time, the song sparked a lot of discussion online. Many people felt that the lyrics and the melody were correct, but the way the singer sang it felt a bit strange.

It's just that Lü Ming has been so prominent lately that most of the entertainment industry's attention has been focused on him, diverting netizens' attention and causing few people to discuss him. But after hearing what Lü Ming said, netizens suddenly understood.

【The truth is out! 】

[I said I felt something was wrong at the time, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Turns out it was the singer who was at fault!]

"You're talking nonsense!" Teacher Yang turned pale with fright, but pretended to speak loudly in her defense: "Let me tell you, defamation is a legal offense!"

"You're threatening me now?" Lu Ming's eyes were icy. He took a step forward and grabbed Teacher Yang's collar. "You're all smiles and grinning, using heavy history as a means to make money. If you can't come up with lyrics and music, you adapt them. If you don't have any buzz, you hype it up. If this continues, what will become of the Chinese music scene? What will become of this world?"

"???" Teacher Yang was dumbfounded.

Why does this sound so damn familiar?
"If this trend takes hold, which singer in the Chinese music scene will be willing to polish their content and work on original works? If they can't come up with any new works, they'll just pick a classic song from the music library, change the accompaniment, and then call it a 'remix of the singing style.' If all else fails, they can do what Teacher Yang did and remix 'The Sniper 2.'"

"I can't even imagine that kind of chaotic and smoky scene, really!"

Teacher Yang's voice was urgent: "You're using all my words!!"

Snapped! ! !
Lu Ming slapped Yang, who was full of things to say, so hard that she was stunned.

"What do you mean, 'your words' and 'my words'? I'm slapping you because you didn't respect history!" Lü Ming glared fiercely at Teacher Yang: "Do you agree?"

Teacher Yang shrank back: "I...I agree!"

"Are you wrong?"

“Wrong… wrong…”

Teacher Yang was completely stunned. He didn't dare to utter a single word in rebuttal. Even though he was slapped hard by the unknown actor in front of the camera, he could only swallow his anger and suffer in silence.

Because he was truly wrong…

If no one had spoken out about this, it wouldn't have been a big deal. But now that this nobody has brought it up, if he dares to argue too much about it, he might be banned from the entire internet by tomorrow.

"Xiao Yang... listen to my advice. This time, your brother Ming slapped you because he couldn't bear to see you ruin yourself. I'm doing this for your own good. If you have this kind of energy, use it for the right thing, create more original positive songs. That's better than anything else, don't you think?"

Teacher Yang clenched her fists, and her bright eyes seemed to bulge out of their sockets.

He said in a deep voice, "Fine!!"

【well played!】

Those who will stop at nothing to get traffic should be punished!

[I really like a quote from an insect: "Even if a nobody's singing skills and talent are questioned by a superstar, do you, Teacher Yang, have the right to question them?"]

Why did you have to kidnap a washed-up celebrity for no reason?

These two teachers are really both incompetent and love to have fun...

[She used to call him Teacher Yang, now she calls him Little Yang, and even slapped Teacher Yang in a seemingly respectable way, and the other party didn't even get angry. Who the hell is the washed-up celebrity here?!] [What's so special about that? Sister Zheng's record against washed-up celebrities is 0-4 so far. Didn't she just give a very emotional performance?]

[Sister Zheng: Buhao!]

At this moment, Sister Zheng was completely stunned.

In just a short while, Hu Ka had already 'swept away' Teacher Hua and Teacher Yang like foot soldiers. Seeing that Lu Ming's gaze was coming over, Sister Zheng, whose pretty face still had tear stains, immediately raised her delicate arm to wipe away her tears with a wronged look, and then looked at Lu Ming weakly, as if she had been frightened.

"Keep pretending!" Lu Ming scoffed.

Don't be fooled by this innocent-looking girl's pitiful act. In reality, she's just aware that she's scared, not that she's wrong.

If given the chance to destroy him, even a weak little rabbit would charge at him without hesitation. The best way to deal with this lunatic is to let her know that she is completely powerless to defeat him. Otherwise, this crazy woman will continue to pester him endlessly in the days to come.

So, Lü Ming put on a stern face and spoke in a serious tone:

"In this failed relationship, I was played, humiliated, and ridiculed. Even the purest love of an innocent young man was used by you as a means to gain traffic and posted online to cause ridicule. Did you consider my feelings when you did these things?"

Sister Zheng looked completely bewildered when questioned.

Always a believer in self-interest, she had never considered the feelings between the two from these perspectives. After all, firstly, there were no feelings between them at all, and secondly, in her eyes at the time, Lü Ming was nothing more than a stepping stone for her to become famous…

"I...I..." Sister Zheng was at a loss.

"No, you only care about your own interests!"

"You deceived me until my heart turned to ashes. Because of you, I lost everything. Because of you, my career collapsed. And because of you, I am burdened with huge loans and live a life worse than death every day. In the end, I don't even have a small place to call my own. Was a boy who still had basic illusions about love wrong?"

Sister Zheng looked flustered.

"Was he wrong to defend his love?"

Sister Zheng's face flushed slightly, and she looked blankly at the man in front of her who was questioning her in the most calm tone.

"He only wanted to give his whole heart to his love. Was he wrong?"

Sister Zheng's voice was so weak it was almost inaudible: "No...that's right..."

"He gave everything he had to his partner without hesitation. Was he wrong?"

She raised her voice slightly: "That's right!"

"Since he did nothing wrong, why do you keep pretending to be a victim online to gain sympathy? Why do you act so innocent and pure? Tell me, who owes whom?"

Sister Zheng: "..."

For a moment, the woman looked around blankly, completely at a loss.

The next second, she broke down emotionally, suddenly curled up, hugged her knees, and burst into loud sobs.

Lü Ming: "???"

"Stop crying! All you do is cry! Hold it in!"

Sister Zheng stopped in an instant, staring longingly at Lü Ming, her long eyelashes still glistening with tears.

"You're bad at the game but love to play. Will you dare to do it again next time?!"

Sister Zheng shook her head like a rattle drum.

"Say it, say you're wrong!"

Sister Zheng bit her thin lips, trying her best not to cry, her voice choked with sobs: "I was wrong..."

"With this kind of acting skill, you would have become a star long ago if you used it in acting. Remember today's lesson, and don't let me see you act crazy again next time, or I'll teach you a lesson!"

【What the hell? 】

[Sister Zheng was scolded so badly she cried, is that even possible?]

[Is this really the Zheng Jie I know? She even mistook a nobody for someone else?!]

[Doesn't this give off a weird vibe of a domineering CEO conquering his arrogant little wife?]

However, to be fair, objectively speaking, the relatively unknown actor is indeed the victim in this relationship. After all, when they were dating, he was at the peak of his career, a top star, and the fact that he borrowed money and didn't repay it can't be erased no matter how much he tries to whitewash it.

[Bullshit! Didn't Sister Zheng pay it back a while ago?]

[If she hadn't been pushed to the brink, would she have been willing to pay it back? Don't try to defend your idol, she never intended to pay it back in the first place. And when it comes to mutual harm, a breakup is a breakup. Look at how popular they were back then, why would she suddenly release those chat logs? Does she really think netizens don't know her purpose?]

[This guy used to be a pure love warrior, but things are different now. Since gaining experience, he's been ruthless when it comes to Dilraba and Baby!]

[Dilraba: You're so high and mighty, you think you're so great! I've given you my best attitude, and you're not going to eat it, so don't smear the pot!]

I suspect Sister Zheng has softened her heart. She probably saw how talented that washed-up actor is now, regretted her decision, and wants to back down and have a taste of his charm.

[A music variety show version of the Three Heroes vs. Lü Bu: one chickened out, one was scared, and the other was convinced. Today's show was so exciting!]

[This washed-up guy is truly a god of war in the Chinese entertainment industry. He has maximum fighting power and maximum intelligence. He's like Lu Bu with Zhuge Liang's mind. He can decide the fate of the world with his actions and bring peace to the world with his words. He's indifferent to life and death and will fight anyone who disagrees. Who can compare to him?]

The logic behind his argument is so clear that it's rare for someone as obscure as him to have such a sharp mind.

[Is this washed-up celebrity blacklisted by Huayue? They're still dancing the field!!]

【…】

Lu Ming glanced back at the LED screen, which displayed a staggering 4312002 votes. He was somewhat surprised that his Virgo move had generated such a huge response.

Seeing that the three mentors had all shut down their microphones and remained silent after he choked on his words, he then turned around and left the studio.

……

On the way, he suddenly thought of a way to make money.

With "Take Everything You Want" currently enjoying such high popularity, wouldn't it be a great deal of royalties if I sold the online transmission rights of the song to Tencent?
And at this time.

The Tencent CEO, who was stunned in front of the screen, received a call from the Tencent Music Marketing Manager. After hanging up, he quickly dialed Lü Ming's number.

"Hello, I am Chu Sheng, CEO of Tencent Video. You can call me Brother Sheng."

"There's one business matter and one personal matter. Let's talk about the business matter first. Tencent Music wants to acquire the copyright to the song you sang on the show today, and they've offered five million!"

Lu Ming didn't expect the penguin to act so quickly. It's like someone brought him a pillow just when he was about to fall asleep.

It's safe to say that Tencent, which made its fortune by copying other companies' games, truly has inherited a knack for business acumen and efficient copying.

"Network transmission rights can be sold, but other things are not."

"I'll pass it on!" President Chu didn't advise Lü Ming to sell all the copyrights together, nor did he investigate the reasons. He simply acknowledged the request and hung up the phone.

Lu Ming's intentions were clear. Although five million sounded like a lot, the other party wanted all the copyrights to the song. Once he got them, he could operate the song however he wanted. To put it bluntly, given Tencent's track record, it was entirely possible that they would release it as a single while it was still popular and price it at 3 yuan.

Of course, the most important thing is actually the performance rights.

If the copyright is really sold, even if he wants to sing it himself, he will have to pay Tencent a performance fee. As his commercial value rises, as his debut in the Chinese music scene, its significance will naturally be different. At that time, any music variety show or a cover song at a star's concert will be a considerable performance fee.

He definitely wants to keep such an important copyright in his own hands.

As for the right to transmit online, it is precisely the least important copyright. As the name suggests, it is the right to upload music to the platform. At present, the domestic music platform, like the video platform, is also divided into three major players: Tencent, Kugou, and NetEase Cloud Music. Among them, Tencent's market share firmly occupies the leading position in the industry.

Now that the work has been released, it will eventually need to be uploaded to a music platform, and Penguin Music is obviously the first choice for consideration of reach.

Acquiring only this one copyright means the other party's operational space is limited to listening to the complete tracks via VIP membership, which is within the normal range and will not affect their reputation.

Of course, he doesn't have much of a reputation now either.

Lü Ming is planning for future reputation...

Just three minutes later, as soon as Lü Ming got into the car, the phone rang again.

"The online transmission rights are priced at one million, which is a bit low, but since you're only selling this one copyright, I've already tried to negotiate for you."

"Deal." Lü Ming nodded.

For contracts of this amount, they are mostly electronic contracts. Using a simple verification code and facial recognition, the agreement is reached, which is very convenient.

"Your current popularity is undoubtedly top-tier in the Chinese entertainment industry, and your influence is far greater than at your peak," President Chu exclaimed on the other end of the phone, then chuckled, "Interested in deeper cooperation?"

"How deep?" Lu Ming chuckled, waiting for the other party to continue.
