Chapter 80 You're Going to Be Famous!
Chapter 80 You're Going to Be Famous!
Until he first stepped onto the stage!
As the song reached its final line and the last note faded, only a faint background noise remained in the speakers.
The three people in the van remained silent for a long time.
Lu Han reached out and turned off the iPad, took off her makeup cape, picked up her phone, opened WeChat, and made a video call to Su Yu.
The movement was executed in one smooth motion, with almost no hesitation.
The video call rang several times before it was answered.
Su Yu's face appeared on the screen. He was obviously also in a hotel room, his hair was a little messy, but his eyes were smiling.
"Have you finished listening?"
"Yes!" Lu Han's voice trembled slightly with excitement, "I just finished listening!!"
"Hmm, how are you feeling?"
Su Yu leaned against the headboard, his tone casual, as if he were just asking what he had eaten that night.
Lu Han didn't answer that question. He looked at Su Yu on the screen, took a deep breath, and then said something that stunned everyone present.
"Master, I must sing this song, no matter the conditions. I think I've been waiting for this song for a long time. Master, thank you!"
Xiao Liu stared wide-eyed at the scene.
He had been taking care of Lu Han for so long, and he had never seen Lu Han speak to anyone in this tone before. How could he describe it?
Like an innocent child, Xiao Liu nodded. That should be the word, right?
Su Yu smiled as he looked at Lu Han, whose eyes were slightly red, through the screen:
"Are you silly! This song was originally written for you! The lyrics and music were tailor-made for you, who else would you give it to if not me?"
"Thank you, Master, sob sob~"
Lu Han was almost moved to tears, and said earnestly:
"Master, I want to officially release this song!"
Recording in the studio, arranging the music, shooting the music video, and promoting it on charts—everything was done to the highest standards!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu was somewhat stunned.
Su Yu was also slightly taken aback, not expecting Lu Han to take it so seriously.
When he wrote this song, his idea was actually very simple. He knew he would like it, but as for how he would treat the song, its commercial release, its chart promotion, and so on, he hadn't really thought that far ahead.
"Master,"
Lu Han had clearly thought everything through in her mind, and her speaking speed was much faster than usual.
"I don't want to wait any longer. I want to strike while the iron is hot and release it. You don't need to worry about the copyright. The lyrics and music copyrights will remain entirely in your name. I'll only take the performance rights. All subsequent royalties and commercial licensing will be paid to you at the highest industry standards!"
Just as Su Yu was about to speak, Lu Han added another sentence.
"Master, please don't refuse me! Also, I'll cover all the production costs, all the publicity costs, and the MV shooting will be done from my studio's budget!"
You don't need to worry about anything, just sign your name.
Su Yu leaned against the headboard and remained silent for a few seconds. What a wonderful thing!
Are you sure?
"I'm sure!"
Lu Han answered without the slightest pause.
"Master, I know your good intentions. You gave me this song, but I can't accept it for nothing! It's my sincere offer! Please don't refuse me! Otherwise, I'll feel bad!"
Looking at the top idol on the screen who was already at the top of the popularity pyramid, Su Yu suddenly felt a bit emotional.
In this circle, too many people have had their sincerity worn away by interests and calculations, but fortunately Lu Han has not.
At least in front of him, Lu Han shed all his idol image and commercial armor, revealing the boy inside who could get teary-eyed over a song.
"good!"
Su Yu didn't hesitate any longer and nodded with a smile.
Lu Han grinned, about to say something cheesy to express his excitement, when Su Yu interrupted him first:
"Alright, that's enough. Let's talk about this when we meet. I'm busy right now."
"oh oh!"
Lu Han nodded: "Then let's talk when we meet!"
Not long after the video call ended, Tangyuan called.
Her voice carried an barely suppressed excitement, mixed with a hint of smugness:
"Su Yu~ Lu Han Studio just contacted me and said they've started the internal project approval process."
This song is expected to be officially released next month, and the promotional resources are very high-end; several top-tier channels have been reserved for its initial promotional slots.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Tangyuan-jie~"
"What's so hard about it? It's all thanks to our own abilities!"
Tangyuan's voice was unusually excited.
"Do you know what this means? Do you know what it means?!"
"You're going to be famous, Su Yu!!"
Su Yu looked at her and couldn't help but smile.
"What are you laughing at? I'm serious!"
"I know, I know, I've never doubted you~"
"Hmph, that's more like it."
Tangyuan snorted, then, as if suddenly remembering something, her tone took on a subtle gossip tinge.
"By the way, I'm going back to the capital in a couple of days. Are you still staying at Jing Tian's place?"
"Hmm... I haven't decided yet."
"Xiao Zhu told me that Jing Tian is going to Hengdian soon!"
"Oh? Is that so?"
Su Yu had no idea why she was suddenly going to Hengdian, since she was unavailable recently.
"Well, you can ask her yourself later."
"understood."
Tangyuan was silent for two seconds, then uttered a sentence softly:
"Su Yu, how many secrets do you think you're still hiding?"
"Me? I don't have any secrets. I already told you everything the first time we met!"
"Tch, who would believe that..."
"I'm not saying anymore, I'm hanging up now!"
After hanging up the phone, Su Yu quickly helped the person beneath him to his feet.
"Ugh! Can't you just leave me alone for a bit?"
Mas rolled his eyes at him: "Who told you to play for so long? I was bored!"
"Then you can continue, I won't bother you."
Leaning against the headboard, Su Yu sent Jing Tian a message:
"Tangyuan told me you're going to Hengdian in the next couple of days?"
On the other side, Jing Tian had just received a message from Xiao Zhu and was lying in bed feeling down when she saw Su Yu's message. She immediately replied:
[Sweet]: Hmm! Do you remember when "Ban Shu Legend" wrapped up filming, Yu Zheng asked us if we wanted to participate in his next drama?
[Su Yu]: I remember now, you mean "Beauty Maker"?
[Sweet]: Yes, I promised him a while ago that I would play a cameo role, but I didn't expect him to schedule his time for these few days!
[Su Yu]: I'm going back too~
[Sweet]: Ugh! This Yu Zheng is so annoying!
……
Two days later, in the evening, Su Yu was sitting in his hotel room packing his luggage for his early morning flight to the capital when Jing Tian suddenly called him on video.
He answered the phone, and on the screen was a fair-skinned little face with red eyes and a red nose, clearly having been crying for a while.
The background behind her looked like the film crew's dressing room, brightly lit, with her reflection in the mirror wearing an ancient costume. Several sparkling hairpins were inserted into her hair, making her look dignified and radiant, but the contrast with her tear-smeared makeup was quite stark.
