Chapter 255: Chapter 255 Am I Not Amazing 3
When the camera panned to Lu Mingyu, he appeared aloof without showing much emotion or excitement. He stood in front of the audience after adjusting his tie and smiled sluggishly. “First of all, I want to thank everyone, the judges, and the White Swan.’
Chen Su began to clap his hands, but he soon stopped because he was uneasy. He thought, “Oh no, Lu Mingyu was supposed to start formal and then loosen up a bit. Instead, he seems to be doing the opposite!” “What’s the White Swan?” Su Yiran asked curiously. Lu Yang replied, “It’s the name of my brother’s fan club.”
“Why is it called the White Swan?”
“Because my brother and the White Swan have a similar temperament, both possessing that noble and cold elegance. Of course, my brother isn’t really the noble and cold type.”
Su Yiran pondered for a moment and then said, “Indeed, the last time I hit him on the head, he almost burst into flames, saying I was sent by Jiang Yanzhou to ruin his appearance.”
Lu Yang was rendered speechless.
On the TV screen, Lu Mingyu’s handsome face appeared. He resumed his speech, saying, “Both ‘No Such Thing in This World’ and ‘Three Sips of Sweetness for Ailing’ were written for my younger sister. She is my precious treasure, and besides her, there is no such thing in this world.”
Chen Su clasped his hands together and started chanting, “Amitabha, may the Bodhisattva bless him to get to the point and not mess things up!”
However…
Lu Mingyu continued, “Though the name ‘Three Sips of Sweetness for Ailing’ may sound childish, I believe its lyrics are better than ‘No Such Thing in This World.’ I spent only two days on the lyrics for ‘No Such Thing in This World,’ and revised it less than ten times. But ‘Three Sips of Sweetness for Ailing’ took me over a month and underwent more than a hundred revisions. I thought day and night about how to use concise and precise wording to make it perfect.”
“Among all my songs, the lyrics and music of ‘Three Sips of Sweetness for Ailing’ are the best. So, I don’t know if you all judged this award based on the song titles?”
Chen Su felt hopeless and turned to stone.
It was over.
This guy was still straightforward and candid, not afraid to offend anyone.
This kind of acceptance speech, questioning the judges, who would give him an award!
Not only did the people at the live broadcast gasp in shock, but Su Yiran also opened her mouth wide in surprise. “Is there such an operation?”
“My brother is right. You can’t just discard a song based on its title, nor can you judge whether someone is good or bad just by their appearance,” Lu Yang said. “However, my brother is too idealistic. If a song’s title doesn’t catch the judges’ interest, how will they have a chance to read its lyrics?”
In some ways, Lu Mingyu lacked sophistication. He was sincere and pure, and he didn’t understand that there were many talented people in the world who hadn’t been discovered.
The faces of the judges turned dark.
What should have been a joyful event had now turned into a critique session.
The host encountered such a situation for the first time and was considering how to smooth things over when Lu Mingyu spoke again.
“When I found out that ‘No Such Thing in This World’ was nominated while ‘Three Sips of Sweetness for Ailing’ wasn’t, I was thinking about this issue. I understand that it’s due to the naming of the song.”
“If I were a judge, I would lose interest in listening to a song with such a childish title. I am a very fortunate person, having a muse-like sister, living in a good era, and encountering good opportunities… Many such favorable factors have contributed to who I am today.”
“There are countless people with musical talent in the world, they might be singing on a street corner or singing loudly in their own bathrooms… But without a good opportunity, it’s difficult to sustain a music career. In music festivals and the entertainment industry, there is a phenomenon where some talented musicians suffer from a lack of opportunities, while others have an abundance of them.”
“I will donate 50% of my income from all my music concerts and copyright fees since my debut to establish the 1230 Music Park Foundation.”
“The foundation aims to help talented musicians who are facing hardships. If you are a struggling musician in need of assistance, please contact my manager, Chen Su. He will keep your information confidential and provide support for your continued development in the music industry.”
“It’s just a little help, hoping to assist musicians who love music. I also hope that we can grow together with the music scene in our country and create even more wonderful music.”
Fifty percent?!
Lu Mingyu had been in the industry for over six years, and although he had many haters, he had also earned quite a bit of money!
Everyone was shocked, including Qin Yitan, who was waiting for Lu Mingyu to make a fool of himself at the live broadcast.
What Lu Mingyu had in mind for the remaining 50% of his income was to save it for his sister as a dowry.
Everyone found it unbelievable, even Qin Yitan, who was expecting Lu Mingyu to embarrass himself at the event..
