"Mr. Brando, you said you finally made the melody that has troubled you for several years into a piano piece? Congratulations!"
"Well, yes, I plan to name this piano piece "The Melody of Samsara""
""The Melody of Samsara"? That's right, Mr. Brando, was it the Chinese director named Lu Yuan who inspired you? According to the latest information I learned, this Chinese director named Lu Yuan seemed to appear out of nowhere. In just six months, he composed three piano pieces in succession. Well, in your eyes, is he an incredible genius?"
"Yes, he is not only an incredible genius, but also amazing! I have seen many geniuses in my life, but no genius can compare to him. I can even predict that no one can surpass him in the past hundred years. After all, I have never heard of anyone being able to compose a complete piece of music in half a day that revolutionizes piano composition techniques."
"What! Mr. Brando, this is so shocking. Do you mean that Director Lu Yuan also composed a complete song in just half a day? God, this is really shocking. People are shocked!”
"Yes, it was indeed only half a day. Just an hour ago, I saw him sitting on the piano chair and playing the song "Canon". The appearance of this song "Canon" made me realize a lot in an instant. There are many skills that I had never understood before, which opened a new door for me!"
"You speak so highly of him? Is this too much?" Another reporter asked Brando.
"No, he can afford this evaluation!"
Brando was in a good mood at noon and even met with the weekly reporters who had been waiting outside the villa for a long time.
While chatting, Brando started talking about creation. After talking about creation, he naturally pointed out Lu Yuan.
This shocked the reporters who came to interview.
They had never heard of this old man giving such a high evaluation to any pianist. Even the pianist Edward was just a young man with some talent but still needed to be tempered and immature in the eyes of this old man.
But!
Today, they find that their ideas have been completely subverted!
This unexpectedly born Chinese director has received such high praise from the elderly!
They couldn't help but have a strong interest in this Chinese man.
"Teacher Brando, can you play for us the music of that Chinese pianist?"
"Sorry I can't play."
"Why? We really want to hear that piece of music."
"Because this is his song, I can't play it casually without his permission."
"Ah, that's such a pity."
"No, it's not a pity, at least there is no regret for me anymore!"
Brando smiled after looking at these reporters.
He looked into the distance calmly.
He was very satisfied at this moment.
Yes, unprecedented satisfaction.
…………………………………………
China.
Wei Lai's Weibo fans have reached 2 million, temporarily ranking first in the total fans list, and also temporarily ranking first in the Weibo popularity list.
From one million to two million fans, from second to first on the popularity list, this is actually not an inspiring story.
At first, he really gave up on the Weibo popularity list, thinking that he would just concentrate on managing the number of fans list.
After all, after spending so much money, he was still suppressed by Lu Yuan. What's the point?
However, since the album incident ended, Lu Yuan directly deleted several advertising Weibo posts.
After deleting the advertising Weibo, Lu Yuan did not post any other promotional Weibo, so the popularity slowly subsided.
Then Wei Lai saw that there was only a difference of more than 20,000 between his popularity and Lu Yuan's!
Yes, just over 20,000!
At this moment, the already desperate mood suddenly resurfaced. After hesitating for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and planned to play a big game.
This is an entertainment circle where traffic is king and fans are king!
You have people paying attention to the traffic explosion. Even if you lie at home and sleep every day, there will be a large number of invitation notices and advertisements...
No one pays attention to you. Even if your acting is amazing and your acting skills are unique, no one will criticize you.
After all, you have no commercial value!
Wei Lai's acting skills are not very good, and he doesn't have any masterpieces. Although his singing is okay, he can't make any waves in China after all, so what he relies on for survival is popularity!
He needs the heat!
How hot?
Ranked first in Weibo discussions, first in fans, and in the headlines...
These are all hot!
Wei Lai felt that it was an opportunity when Lu Yuan was negligent in not posting on Weibo!
Then Wei Lai did just that!
In order to attract the attention of fans, he even dyed his hair green a few days ago, put on a red dress and dressed up to look seductive, uploaded the photos to Weibo, and secretly worked hard to create hype.
After a while, he pretended to inadvertently "reveal" that he actually had the habit of dressing up as a woman. At the same time, he let the navy army set a trend on Weibo, and even bribed many well-known media v.s to target this explosive news specifically for him.
What a report...
After such an operation, he felt that it was not enough, so he continued to be ruthless and spent hundreds of thousands to buy a water army to increase the popularity!
Then, the popularity on his Weibo finally exploded!
He even made headlines in the entertainment industry!
At this moment, Weibo was filled with news about his "cross-dressing fetish", "transvestite fetish" and "cuckold fetish". After several hours of fermentation, these hot search terms finally led to Lu Yuan's advertisement.
The news was completely suppressed, and he became the new king of popularity and fans!
At the same time, the number of real fans has also shown explosive growth, directly exceeding two million!
This makes Wei Lai very comfortable!
After pushing Lu Yuan down, he breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that the uneasiness accumulated in his heart was finally gone!
He is ambitious!
He feels that this year’s annual Weibo Popularity King is only him, and it can only be him!
But……
A few hours later, when he clicked on Weibo again to read the headlines, he suddenly found that the headlines were not him again.
He stared blankly at news such as "Lu Yuan created a miracle", "Lu Yuan won four awards in a row", "The Goya Award no longer makes Chinese people despair." "Director Lu wants to be the advertising king"...
He took a deep breath and subconsciously went in to take a look. He saw the award video of Lu Yuan winning four awards in a row and the acceptance speech in the video...
Naturally, there are countless comments and netizens below...
He closed his eyes.
This is a mysterious feeling of suffocation and despair.
When he opened his eyes and subconsciously took another look at the hot list, he sighed silently.
His heart was trembling.
Sure enough, his passion turned to dick again...
Then cross-dressing, cuckoldry, transvestism, and the hundreds of thousands of hype funds were all in vain.
Fortunately, at least I am still number one on the fan list.
After Wei Lai looked at the gap between his 20,000 fans and Lu Yuan's 1.6 million fans, he finally saw comfort in his despair.
But once you have bad luck, even worse luck will follow!
In the evening, Wei Lai looked at the fan list again, and he was speechless to find that he had become the second most popular person in the fan list.
Lu Yuan's 1.6 million fans increased to 2.1 million in just half a day...
"Nah, did you spend a lot of money on this thing?"
This was the first thought that came to his mind.
Then Wei Lai felt that his heart was in great pain, and his whole body was in a state of collapse...
It's a humiliating feeling of being pressed to the ground and rubbed.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and looked at the headlines.
Then……
"Surprise! Lu Yuan actually composed another piano piece?"
"Famous pianist Brando: This is a piano piece with a revolutionary arrangement!"
"The amazing Chinese boy, a genius that is rare to see in a century!"
"He is a director, a screenwriter, an actor, and at the same time... he is also a pianist?"
"Lu Yuan, a big liar who keeps saying that he has exhausted his talents, but secretly keeps creating!"
"Perhaps he will be the only Chinese published in American Piano Weekly?"
"We were all deceived! He is a brilliant liar!"
China Daily, China Evening News, Entertainment Weekly, News...
In just half a day, countless online newspapers were reporting on this amazing news. Especially piano lovers in China were almost going crazy. After all, China had produced such an amazing pianist!
Can they not be crazy?
At this moment, all kinds of news about Lu Yuan are on the headlines of any portal. Before, Lu Yuan won four awards in a row, but now Lu Yuan has become a star in the piano industry!
Lu Yuan's popularity has exploded like never before!
Many people in the entertainment industry are crazy.
Of course, Wei Lai also felt that he was crazy.
When Wei Lai saw that he had spent all his efforts and money in vain and had gained a bad reputation as a cuckold, his mentality completely collapsed in an instant.
He even shed tears of despair.
You said, you just want to go to Spain, why are you still raking in prizes?
It's fine if you win prizes and come back, but why did you compose piano music again?
So when the hell did you get involved with Brando?
Aren’t you exhausted? Don’t you know how to play the piano anymore?
Is it fun for you to slap yourself in the face?
wrong!
Are you specifically targeting me?
You come out to suppress me every time I spend money to do something. What on earth are you doing?
What kind of hatred or resentment is this!
I have absolutely no grudge against you. When your company moved, I even went over to send you my blessings!
Damn it!
Wei Lai became even more angry when he thought of this!
What did you say when you held my hand?
They said they would make money together, work hard together, and cooperate with each other in the future.
So this is what you call mutual cooperation?
OK! I admit it!
Is it okay if I stop playing on Weibo? Is it okay if I just concentrate on singing?
Bad throat?
Can’t I sing and dance because my voice is not good?
If that doesn’t work, it’s okay to do some rap!
Anyway, I like this too.
As for Weibo?
Okay, whoever wants to play can have fun!
I won’t serve you anymore!

Lu Yuan didn't know that he had successfully helped a certain little fresh meat to quit his Weibo addiction.
He doesn't pay attention to this.
At this moment, he is drinking coffee for the second time in the largest cafe in Madrid, Spain...
The person meeting this time was Director James.
Beautiful piano music, dim lights, antique European environment.
The night is very beautiful.
The coffee was still very bitter, and it was still not Lu Yuan's favorite taste, but luckily Lu Yuan added sugar this time.
And added a lot of sugar.
He likes the sweet feeling.
"Mr. Lu Yuan, I didn't expect that not seeing you for just one day would make big news again. It's amazing, it's amazing!"
"Ahem, Director James, you are here this time..."
"This is the script for my movie California Nights..."
"Um?"
"I planned to use your "Romance of Love" for the interlude, but it turned out that I wanted to use a song, but I haven't found a suitable song yet, so I asked Mr. Lu Yuan to help me."
"This..." Lu Yuan took over the script of "California Nights" and started reading it.
The script is not in English, but in Chinese that Lu Yuan can understand.
