Although it was his first time facing such a scene, as the emperor of the dark world, he only needed to stand there with the microphone and everyone's attention would be focused on him.
"What is your name, sir?"
The first reporter spoke.
"Lu. Just call me Lu."
"Mr. Lu, what are your thoughts on this performance? Honestly, this unconventional approach is truly astonishing. Using theatrical form to present the band's songs, when you were planning this performance, weren't you worried that this bold approach might lead to failure?"
Lu Li's voice was full of confidence: "Of course not, our band is the best band in Japan, no, even the best band in the world. They will definitely not fail!"
"I can tell you're quite confident in the band. What if it fails? Will you blame the band members for not performing well enough?"
The reporter continued to ask.
"Before becoming a music director, I witnessed many people and events. I once saw the top girl band Roselia fail. I saw them sitting on a chair and crying after their defeat. I will never forget this scene. At that moment, I thought, if I could coach a band one day, I would definitely lead this band to win everything. And now, my band members have responded to me with their performance. Their performance today was perfect."
As he said this, Lu Li coughed lightly and said, "Of course, although it's unlikely, if they fail, I won't blame them, because failure is indeed a pity, but think about it, everyone, failure is always present throughout life, this is life."
The reporter was a little excited to hear such a profound answer.
"Mr. Lu, you said it very well!"
"Don't get excited, there's something better. Okay, next question."
"Mr. Lu, the identities of your band members seem somewhat unusual. If I'm not mistaken, the lead singer appears to be Miss Sanjiao Chuhua, a member of Sumimi. And the guitarist seems to be the eldest daughter of the Ruoye family. And the drummer seems to have been a well-known internet blogger. It's no exaggeration to say that your band members are quite impressive. Could you tell us how your band was formed?"
"Of course, our band was formed spontaneously because we all share the same dream. It's that simple. Next one."
"Then, Mr. Lu, as the band's music director and the only male, do you..."
Hearing this question, Lu Li frowned. He knew someone would ask such an idiotic question, but fortunately, he had already thought about how to deal with this situation.
"We've asked enough questions. Let's end the interview here today. If you still have questions, please wait until after our next band performance. How about that?"
The reporters were naturally dissatisfied, but Lu Li had a way to deal with their dissatisfaction. He had just laid the groundwork.
"I know everyone is a little unhappy about the short interview time, but remember what I just said, I will reveal a secret to you all."
"secret?!"
After hearing Lu Li say this, the reporters remembered.
Oh, the music director did say that he would reveal his identity, but is this considered a secret?
Who the hell are you? Who cares about your identity?
What everyone cares about now is the identities of the beautiful girls in your band and their gossip. Who do you think you are?
Not caring about the looks from the reporters, Lu Li gently took off the mask on his face, revealing his true face. After he took off the mask, the entire theater was boiling!
The reporters were all excited. What excited them was...
Who is this person?
"My name is Lu Li. Lu means land, Li means separation."
Land from?
Is there such a person in the music industry?
"I've introduced myself this way, so maybe you guys don't know. But, I have another name, and I think some people might know my other name."
"Four spoonfuls of sugar."
"!"
"Add four spoonfuls of sugar, what the hell... Wait!"
Reporters’ memory is not bad, let alone such a unique name. After Lu Li said his pen name, a reporter immediately pointed it out.
"Lu Li, Lu Li... I remember now, the winner of this year's New Creative Literature Award! His pen name is Four Spoons of Sugar!"
"What?! The winner of the New Creation Literature Award?!"
"So Mr. Lu is the mysterious literary master who didn't even go to the ceremony to receive the award?"
At this moment, the theater was completely boiling.
Seeing everyone's attention focused on him, Lu Li smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's me."
Yes, kids, that's me.
But, actually it’s not what you think. It’s not that I don’t want to go to the scene to receive the award. The main reason is that the work that won the award was entrusted to the library to send it to me, and I didn’t even know when I won the award. How can I receive it then?
"It's actually you! I was wondering why your speech just now was so brilliant. Mr. Lu, I'm your fan! I've been following your works, including your serialized light novels."
"Really? Thank you very much."
"Teacher Lu, I didn't expect you to become a music instructor. Does this mean you have profound musical accomplishments?"
"Know a little bit."
"Teacher Lu, before you, there has never been a literary master who switched to music. You are the first. May I ask, what opportunity led you to join a girl band and become its music director?"
Because the band is full of my wives!
"I just answered this question. Because of dreams."
"After you won the award this year, there were rumors that you were a strong contender for next year's Akutagawa Ryunosuke Prize. May I ask, are you preparing for next year's Akutagawa Ryunosuke Prize?"
As Lu Li's identity was exposed, the focus gradually shifted from the band to Lu Li himself. There was nothing that could be done about it. In today's society, the status of writers was incredibly high. Compared to the band's music director, the young master who had just won the New Literature Award was obviously more valuable.
This is what Lu Li wanted to do. He successfully focused the attention on himself. In this way, the identities of Chu Hua, Mu and others in the triangle would not be questioned. After all, there was a bigger outlier like him.
Lu Li smiled at the reporters in front of him and said, "Indeed, there is. Well, the bigger secret has been exposed. Dear journalists, I think everything we've said today is enough for you to write about. How about we stop here for today? The performance just ended, and my band members and I are a little tired. I hope everyone can give us some time to rest."
The status of the writer took effect at this moment. Reporters could pursue an idol star or singer relentlessly, but no one dared to be rude to a famous and newly famous literary master, so the reporters finally dispersed.
After dealing with the reporters, Lu Li and his harem returned to the lounge at the back of the theater.
After returning to the lounge, Lu Li looked at everyone and said, "Alright, everyone, take a break. I think all the news from today on will be focused on me, so you shouldn't be bothered too much."
"Ah."
Toyokawa Shoko looked at her lover and said, "No wonder you said you wanted us to reveal our identities today. It turns out you had already thought about it."
"It's indeed a good idea, but will it cause you any trouble?"
Hachiman Kailing was a little worried.
Hearing Hachiman Hailing say that Lu Li would be troubled, Ruo Yemu also looked at Lu Li: "Lu Li...will be, troubled?"
Sanjiao Chuhua smiled and looked at Lu Li: "Lu Lijun must have thought it through, right?"
"That's right, Lu Li must have thought it through. Don't worry, it's Lu Li after all~"
Yutian Temple Ruomai said with a smile that she absolutely believed in Lu Li.
"I've definitely thought it through. My identity isn't a secret, so it's perfect to reveal it now. Plus, our band needs some attention right now, so that's perfect."
After hearing what Lu Li said, everyone felt relieved. It was good to have a backbone for the band. With such a person, it felt like there was someone to support them even if the sky fell. This feeling was really good.
"I've prepared the celebration banquet, right now..."
At this moment, Lu Li's cell phone rang.
"Hello? Li Xi? It's me, Lu Li."
"Huh? Soyo? What happened to her?"
"What? She seemed to be unwell and left early?"
273
Chapter 273: Sakiko-chan.
It's raining again.
Tokyo really loves rain in autumn.
But Nagasaki Suyo doesn't like rain, she prefers snow, because when she talks about snow, she thinks of the icy and snowy streets of Hokkaido, and she really wants to go there with Lu Li.
Then, she would ask Lu Li what he would think of when he mentioned Bing.
"Soyo? Why are you back? Didn't you say Lu Lijun was coming to our house for dinner today? What's wrong? Isn't he busy after his performance?"
In a high-end luxury apartment, Ms. Nagasaki, who was busy in the kitchen, looked at her daughter who suddenly came home with some curiosity. Didn’t they have an appointment that Lu Li would come over for dinner today? Why did her daughter come back alone?
Coming out of the kitchen, Ms. Nagasaki noticed her daughter's abnormal condition.
He was soaking wet, his face was pale, and he looked as if he was about to die.
"Soyo?! What's wrong with you!?"
Seeing her daughter like this, Ms. Nagasaki immediately turned around and ran into the bathroom to get a towel.
"Mother……"
"Mother!!"
Looking at his mother and hearing her ask about Lu Li, the grievance that had dissipated due to walking home in the rain burst out again in an instant.
"Soyo, Soyo, what's wrong with you?"
Ms. Nagasaki, who had never seen her daughter cry so miserably, panicked. The last time her daughter cried like this was the last time.
When was the last time?
By the way, he hugged himself and said that he would never form a Crychic again. What happened this time?
"Mother……"
Nagasaki Suyo choked up. At this moment, she didn't know what to say. What should she say?
Saying that the person you like was taken away by Xiangzi?
Or was it that he was defeated by "The Guest"?
"Soyo, what's wrong? Could it be... Lu Lijun?"
As someone who had experienced this, Ms. Nagasaki immediately realized that at this point, the only person who could have turned her daughter into this was probably Lu Li.
"No, it's not."
"What was that? Soyo, weren't you going to see Lu Lijun and your former bandmates perform? How did it turn out like this?! No, go take a shower first!"
Seeing her daughter soaking wet, Ms. Nagasaki quickly pulled her daughter to the bathroom. It was raining outside, and her daughter was soaking wet, so she would catch a cold.
"Um... Mom, I'm sorry."
"what happened?"
"Today... Lu Li probably won't be coming. Today's preparations might..."
The comfort supplies were not delivered, and I saw things I shouldn't have seen. I originally planned to take Lu Li home after the performance, but I ran away early. It is likely that Lu Li will not come.
"If you don't want to come, then don't come. It's okay. We can just eat together. Besides, we haven't eaten together for a long time. It's perfect."
"Feel sorry……"
"What is there to apologize for? Go take a shower and I'll find you a new set of clothes."
"Ah."
After taking a quick shower and changing into clean clothes, Nagasaki Suyo was no longer in the mood to eat. Although her mother did prepare a large table of dishes, she really couldn't finish it.
It seemed that Ms. Nagasaki noticed that her daughter had no appetite, so she didn't say anything.
"Soyo, if you're not feeling well, why not go to bed early? I won't clean up these dishes. You can eat some when you wake up and feel hungry later in the evening."
"Well, Mom, I'm going to rest now. Do you want to work tonight?"
"probably."
"Well, remember to bring an umbrella when you go out, and also, remember to wear more clothes."
Hearing her daughter's reminder, Ms. Nagasaki smiled and said, "Really? Soyo is more like a mother than she is. Okay, Mom knows. Go and have some rest."
"Ah."
After saying hello to her mother, Nagasaki Suyo returned to her room.
The room was dim, and Nagasaki Suyo didn't plan to turn on the light. She walked to the bed in her slippers, lifted the quilt, crawled into the quilt, and curled up into a ball.
Her long, soft brown hair was spread out, and she hugged her pillow, thinking of the scene she saw in the women's restroom, tears in her eyes.
