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

Chapter 65 A washed-up actor ascends to godhood! Sister Zheng regrets it; the next era will be called 'King Ming'! [Seeking monthly votes]

Taozi, who was monitoring the data throughout the event, received an furious call from the sponsor. He was apologizing profusely into the phone and had finally calmed the sponsor down when he turned around and saw Zhang Shaogang openly using the derogatory term "flop" during the introduction. He was immediately enraged.
"Wait, where did the production team find these two brilliant minds?!"

"With this level of professionalism, how the hell can someone be a host?"

"I'm really drunk!"

Taozi was so angry that he started cursing. He regarded Lü Ming as a cash cow. He would not say anything about the conflicts between the guests. The more Lü Ming and Li Changfeng quarreled, the more entertaining it would be. But is such a lack of manners by a host what you call entertaining? It's shameful!

Perhaps the previous CEO didn't care about these minor details, but he felt that this behavior was simply a disgrace to the penguin!
Taozi was about to call the director to confront him, but at that moment, the melodious sound of a harmonica came from the screen.

The novel accompanying instruments immediately caught his eye, and he stopped what he was doing to listen to Huka's original work.

At this moment, the audience at the scene, and even all the onlookers in front of the screen, were also attracted by this unique accompaniment.

Unlike Li Changfeng, Lü Ming didn't dress up in a flashy way. He didn't even change his clothes; he wore the same clothes he wore on stage. The only thing he did during the preparation time was for the makeup artist to apply foundation and change his hairstyle, which made him look more energetic.

In front of thousands of viewers.

He wore a pair of soft black casual pants and a beige jacket. His fluffy black hair was irregularly disheveled. With his handsome face, he stood on a dimly lit stage. As the spotlight from the ceiling slowly followed him to his feet, half of his face was in shadow and the other half was in the light. His exceptional temperament immediately made countless girls stare in amazement.

Even Meigeni, who hated Lü Ming to the core, and a large number of Ming-anti-girls couldn't take their eyes off him at this moment.

That's so cool!

[Dude, who told you to be so handsome? How can I criticize someone so handsome?]

[I'm really at my wit's end with him. His style today is completely different from before. I used to acknowledge his good looks, but I didn't feel anything special about him. Now he's like a healing male protagonist straight out of a comic book. His height and looks perfectly match the ideal partner I've always dreamed of.]

[The condition is, don't speak!]

My husband, my husband, my husband!

[As expected, handsome people look good in anything. Li Changfeng spent so much time on makeup, styling, and clothing, but the moment that bum appeared, he didn't even need to say a word to dazzle him!]

It's hard to imagine that a simple hairstyle change could make such a big difference.

[Is being handsome useful? If being handsome were useful, he wouldn't have had his career collapse before he became a flop. Wake up, female fans! Looks are just the most superficial appearance; talent is the core that symbolizes lasting charm!]

[Sorry, but this nobody's original song, "Take Everything You Want," is seven or eight stories ahead of your idol's talent!]

Is the talent of a single song really talent? Everyone eats dumplings during Chinese New Year.

Amidst the online debate.

As the melodious harmonica music gradually came to an end, Lü Ming's deep and slightly melancholic voice slowly appeared in everyone's ears.

"Someone as outstanding as me"

"He should have lived a brilliant life"

"How come after more than twenty years..."

Love floats and sinks in the sea of ​​people.

On the mentor's seat, Professor Yang, whose expression had been calm, suddenly showed a hint of surprise between his brows.

He had felt that the song had a unique style when he first heard the accompaniment. When he heard Lü Ming sing the verses, he immediately realized that the lyrics and arrangement of the song were typical of modern folk music. Moreover, the most important point was that the lyrics themselves were quite evocative.

Even Sister Zheng showed a surprised expression. This bastard ex didn't continue to take advantage of her. Instead, he created an original song that had nothing to do with love.
Furthermore, their style has shifted from the previous modern pop genre to a completely new track.

Is he really that talented?!
Many singers and music critics watching Lü Ming on screen couldn't help but marvel at the leaps in this young man's thinking. Looking at the Chinese music scene, there are very few singers who can write and sing their own songs. Even those singers with great original talent often focus on creating works based on a single theme.

It's truly rare to find someone whose previous song was based on love, only to have their next original song jump straight into the folk ballad genre.

"Someone as smart as me"

"I've long since said goodbye to naivety."

"Why did you still use a past relationship?"

"Go and exchange your body for scars."

Lu Ming's voice suddenly became extremely low, but miraculously, even though the decibel level had been reduced to such a low level, everyone could still clearly hear what he was singing.

Sister Zheng: "???"

Damn it, you're like an ex! I was just starting to look at you with new respect, and now you're bringing up your past heartbreak again!

This isn't over yet!!

Who's really going to hold the other accountable?
【Wait, this is considered original?】

[My buddy's gone mad. He walked in and all he heard was some nobody singing about how great and smart he is. That's just too much self-admiration!]

Although his voice is indeed quite pleasant, completely different from his usual way of speaking, and his emotions are also quite on point, the lyrics make me want to punch someone so badly.

[They've completely lost face!]

【How is that shameless? With this face of mine, Ming should have lived a brilliant life, what's wrong with that?】

[It's clear that the lyrics were entirely inspired by his own life experiences; and to be fair, the melody is quite catchy.]

[A relatively unknown celebrity's career collapsed inexplicably just because he had a relationship. From a purely objective, bystander's perspective, it's truly unfair.]

[Ming fans are acting all aggrieved. You guys haven't even mentioned that your idol was tone-deaf, deafening and blinding the audience back then!]

Putting all that aside, he's offended Teacher Huang, Wu Qian, Feng Feng, Teacher Yang, Teacher Hua, and now there's You Han too. Looking at the entire Chinese entertainment industry, which star can have so many enemies at once? If one person speaks ill of someone, it might not be their fault, but the fact that most of the industry seems to want him to fade into obscurity shows just how bad his character really is!

【The truth is out! 】

If anyone would vote for this narcissistic song, then the Chinese music scene is truly doomed!

When Teacher Yang and Teacher Hua heard Lü Ming's voice suddenly increase in volume on the stage, they both frowned, and an expression of disbelief immediately appeared between their brows.

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with a sense of bewilderment.

Looking at the Chinese music scene, there are many singers who excel in high notes, but few dare to challenge low notes. This is because, firstly, there are very few songs that require the use of low notes, and secondly, presenting low notes is far more difficult than high notes. Even singers with rich stage experience can easily make mistakes, either suddenly losing their voice or performing poorly.

It's just like playing the harmonica; the breath exhaled by the player must reach the threshold that triggers the note for it to work. Too high or too low won't work.

This is extremely difficult in itself, but Lü Ming seized this niche track during the performance and presented the precision of pitch to the extreme. Moreover, in the process, he lowered the pitch evenly and continuously until he reached the lowest decibel that could theoretically be heard by people.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.

It was precisely because they knew how incredibly difficult this was that the two reacted this way when they heard Lü Ming sing every lyric, and even every single word, with such perfect pitch that they seemed to be in complete harmony with the accompaniment.

Because in their minds, this is simply impossible!

Teacher Hua once suspected that Lü Ming might be lip-syncing.

This phenomenon was completely beyond his comprehension; even a top-tier singer who spent three days and three nights in the recording studio refining his recordings would probably find it difficult to achieve.

Most importantly, involution is completely meaningless in these details, because once you enter that threshold range, the listening experience for the audience is almost the same, with negligible differences. If you are not a professional singer, you simply cannot hear the difference.

How could this unknown artist's live performance with a full microphone reach such an unbelievable level?

If this had happened during a normal part of the performance, they would have immediately concluded that the unknown singer was lip-syncing. But it happened during such an extremely low-pitched section, until the accompaniment even disappeared, leaving only the unknown singer's own a cappella live performance.

Even a layman can tell if someone is speaking with their microphone half-open, so how can they be the ones to question it?

The two were greatly shocked, and for a moment they even felt as if they had wasted all their years in the Chinese music scene, and all their previous understanding was overturned at this moment.

If this were a normal music variety show, they would definitely turn around immediately and praise the other person to the skies, just to leave behind a legendary story of a talent scout and a promising horse in the history of Chinese music.

But ironically, this person is the nobody they hate to the core!
Should we turn around for a washed-up actor and acknowledge his talent?
Unless they are like that!
"My God!" Deng Ziqi exclaimed, her eyes widening dramatically, her fair face filled with shock. "His singing is much more solid and stronger than in the previous episodes!"

"This isn't just a question of whether she's strong or not; she's practically a walking textbook of singing!" Zhang Liangying, another popular female singer in the Chinese music scene, was also full of amazement.

Singers and music critics watching the live stream were all taken aback and exclaimed in surprise in front of their screens.

Amidst differing thoughts from all sides.

Lü Ming's voice gradually rose, and a hint of melancholy appeared between his brows as he sang:

"People like me who are lost and confused"

"People like me who are searching"

"Someone as mediocre as me"

How many other people have you met?

For a moment, his melancholy and somewhat bewildered mood infected everyone who heard his singing. Many people's expressions changed slightly at this moment. Lü Ming's singing skills were still captivating, but at this moment, people's attention was more focused on his relatable lyrics.

Even the previously boastful, narcissistic Xiao Heizi fell silent. "Someone as ordinary as me..."

I never like to pretend to be profound.

Why do I sometimes feel... when I hear old songs?

Suddenly, I was also distracted.

"A coward like me"

Always leave some room for maneuver.

"..."

Lü Ming's singing voice, like a clear spring, unveiled people's inner world and subtly touched every listener.

【Fuck! 】

[It sounds great!!!]

[Are these lyrics about an unknown celebrity? They've really struck a chord with everyone!]

I never expected that this unknown person would have this kind of talent.

I was deeply moved by the lyrics of this chorus.

Does anyone still say that washed-up celebrities are narcissistic?

The chorus is full of gems; at first listen, the verses do sound a bit narcissistic, but once the chorus starts, it's a completely different story.

[This bumbling guy is really going to be a legend!]

[Fengfeng, you know I, as a fan, rarely support obscure or unpopular celebrities...]

[Don't contact me anymore, I'm afraid some nobody will misunderstand!]

The live chat exploded immediately.

At this moment, even Sister Zheng on the mentor's seat had a slight change in her eyes. Whether it was because of the resonance of these lyrics or because she was reminded of the past, in a daze, it seemed that only the young man's melancholy singing voice remained in her world.

At this moment, even Sister Zheng had to admit that her heart rate was accelerating dramatically.

boom! ! !
As if possessed, she pressed the turn button in front of her. When the chair turned to face her and she saw the young man on the stage, his face full of melancholy, singing loudly, a feeling of sadness welled up in her heart. However, she could not take her eyes off Lü Ming's face as he sang with deep emotion.

In an instant, all the past events flashed through my mind like a slideshow.

If it were in the past, she would have gritted her teeth and felt agitated when she thought of what Lü Ming had done to her, wishing she could rush up and bite him. But at this moment, in the low singing, she suddenly felt relieved.

Sister Zheng's eyes were fixed on the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face of the young man on the stage, and she couldn't help but mutter, "How come I never noticed before that he's so handsome..."

When Teacher Yang and Teacher Hua saw that Sister Zheng actually turned around for Huka in such an important final, they immediately showed surprised expressions. Although Huka's singing skills made them, as musicians, feel itchy, whether it was out of a reputation for doing things for money or out of hatred for Huka, they firmly held their positions.

The melodious harmonica music rose and fell, and after a brief silence, the packed audience erupted in cheers as Lü Ming began to sing!

People craned their necks and sang along with great enthusiasm...

Even after only one listen, the catchy lyrics of this original song have been deeply etched in people's hearts.

All of a sudden.

On the LED screen behind the stage, Lü Ming's vote count suddenly skyrocketed like a rocket!

Four million votes, five million votes, six million votes...

Li Changfeng, who had been sitting in the backstage lounge with his legs crossed, looking smug, widened his eyes in shock upon seeing this: "Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could he have gained so many votes all of a sudden!"

"Even if the chorus of these lyrics is easy for people to remember, it shouldn't generate millions more votes in just a few dozen seconds!"

"This Sima Huka definitely rigged his votes!"

"It's not fair! He's faking it! There's something fishy going on!"

Li Changfeng found it hard to believe, and suddenly felt the championship honor and the ten million yuan prize that were so close to him slip away.

Inside the studio, the audience sang along in unison, a stark contrast to the online attention and adoration emanating from the struggling actor. Meanwhile, backstage in the dressing room, an incredulous Li Changfeng was desperately trying to collect his deposit, the room filled with his heart-wrenching screams: "No! No!! No!!!"

Shortly afterward, as the accompaniment faded away, Lü Ming's performance came to an end.

The audience members all felt that the experience was not enough.

Is that all?

[I haven't heard enough!]

Let's do it one more time!

[Who is the champion? There's no question about it anymore, is there?]

[This unknown artist is practically a god in my eyes. A mediocre music variety show, and he produced two amazing original songs. His talent is practically overflowing from the screen!]

The era of obscure celebrities is over; the next era is defined by 'Ming Tian Wang'!

You know what, if he maintains this talent and every original song is of this quality, he'll be a superstar in no time!

[How come this person seems to have unlocked their full potential after leaving Huayue, completely letting loose and being themselves?]

I always felt that his previous abstract style was most likely premeditated.

[I wasn't entirely sure about her previous song, "Take Everything You Want," since the lyrics were indeed adapted from her relationship with Sister Zheng, making it a niche example and not a reliable benchmark. But now I'm almost certain that this struggling artist is playing a much bigger game. His talent for songwriting and composing, as well as his current singing skills comparable to a superstar, are definitely not something that can be achieved overnight!]

[Others beg and plead to minimize the penalty for breach of contract, but this nobody caused trouble for his former employer to get him fired by Huayue. This is a perspective most people wouldn't think of, and even if they did, few would dare to actually do it...]

[Holy crap, it's working! It's all working!]

He actually ate his meal standing up!

[Those who flop are the real geniuses!]

While netizens were full of praise, some immediately thought of Huayue. As the truth came out, the comments section exploded.

After all, a year ago when this nobody released his single, he seemed to know nothing about music. In such a short time, he has frequently appeared in public, leaving himself little time to learn and improve. Even the most brilliant genius can't improve much. The only explanation is that this kid played Hua Yue!

For a while.

Numerous related terms quickly appeared on the trending topics list.

#Random singer's singing skills have reached godlike levels!#
#Huka's original song "A Person Like Me" expresses the lives and feelings of so many people.#
#Talent of a washed-up celebrity!#

A contract worth only 91 points, and they're still withholding wages—it's the right thing to do to slack off!
Amidst the uproar, the two hosts stepped onto the stage, marking the start of the three mentors' commentary segment.

Teacher Yang had already prepared her words in her mind, but when the words came to her lips, she just couldn't say them.

After all, his colleagues in the entire Chinese music industry were watching, including many superstars. If he were to deny the singing skills of a struggling artist, people would inevitably gossip about it. So he could only gloss over the issue and say, "I personally don't like this style of music, so I didn't turn around. In comparison, I still think more highly of Li Changfeng!"

Teacher Hua glanced at Teacher Yang with disdain, cursing him as a 'coward' in her heart, before adopting a superior attitude and unleashing her full power:

"These lyrics, written in such plain language, have absolutely no depth to me. I completely fail to grasp what the central idea he's trying to express is. But what I never expected is that such a common, catchy song could garner nearly seven million votes. Please forgive me for not understanding it!"

"Mr. Lü Ming, could you tell everyone what the core message of your song is?"

As Teacher Hua finished speaking...

Teacher Yang, standing nearby, gave him a look as if he were an idiot. Before he could react, a great commotion erupted from the distant stands:

"Shadow!"

"This is supposed to be a catchy pop song? You have no talent yourself, so you slander unknown artists?"

"I've completely turned against Teacher Hua. You've disappointed me so much."

"Even if you're targeting an unknown artist, at least come up with an excuse that a normal person could accept, right? Such a meaningful song, and you call it meaningless?"

Are you disparaging the aesthetic sense of seven million netizens?

Teacher Hua: "???"

Are these viewers crazy? They used to call him "Teacher Hua" this and "Teacher Hua" that, but what are they doing now? His former fans are now boycotting him like he's washed up!
Just as he was feeling indignant, he saw Lü Ming on the stage suddenly make a gesture of pressing down on his hands, and the audience who had been protesting just a second ago immediately fell silent.

Then, Lü Ming gave himself a mysterious smile.

For no apparent reason, Teacher Hua shuddered, immediately sensing that something terrible was about to happen.

The next second, under Teacher Hua's anxious gaze, Lü Ming's lips were smeared with honey, and he went all out...
