Bab 30: What? I’m Unjustly Blamed?
"F*ck! Who is this 'Barbarian Lu' An Xiao was talking to? Why does he sound so arrogant on the phone?"
"Little angel An Xiao was so gentle when she called him. Did he not know how to appreciate it?"
"Pui! I initially thought that he was little angel An Xiao's rumored boyfriend. So it turned out that he's nothing but a useless loser!"
"[Invisible Wings] is indeed nice to hear and the lyrics are fascinating. But the writer... Why is he so crude? He completely toppled the image I had of him in my mind!"
"Haha, wait… Wang Cuihua? Damn, this is so funny. Who is this Barbarian Lu? Why is he so talented!"
"Support An Xiao!"
"An Xiao, I will definitely write a song for you next time. There's no need for you to work with such a crude man who doesn't know how to appreciate you!"
"From their tones, I can tell that they are not lovers. In fact, it even sounded like they were foes…"
"Barbarian Lu! Barbarian Lu? There aren't many lyricists with the surname Lu in the industry. Could it be Lu Hua?"
"Wrong, didn't she mention something about filming a movie? Recently, Lu Hua was part of the cast in a historical drama. I don't think it is him."
"Who is it then? All the famous composers and lyricists in the industry don't seem to match this person named 'Barbarian Lu'..."
"His voice doesn't sound like Lu Hua too. This Barbarian Lu's voice is quite young. Lu Hua's voice is clearly a little aged…"
"That's right...who exactly is Barbarian Lu?"
"..."
The search network's comments were exploding with a few hundred being uploaded every minute. In an instant, this album release video of An Xiao got up onto the headlines of the various video websites. In addition, the terms, 'An Xiao', 'Barbarian Lu', 'Lu Hua', became the most searched on the search network.
The majority of netizens felt extremely angry toward 'Barbarian Lu'. This was especially so for the brain-dead fans of An Xiao.
They gnashed their teeth and were fuming with rage toward 'Barbarian Lu', saying that he caused their little angel An Xiao to lose face. Not only that, but his personality was also uncultured, barbaric, and unreasonable. He didn't have any gentleman spirit…
God must have been blind to give someone like this enough talent to write such a good song [Invisible Wings].
All sorts of scoldings and curses continued to ring out. Barbarian Lu's name became incomparably smelly among An Xiao's fans.
There were some rational fans, but there were plenty more irrational fans!
They were known as brain-dead fans…
All of them wanted to vent the unhappiness in their hearts.
It was unknown who, but someone suddenly posted a link to an article [See you again lover]. The eyes of the fans immediately started to shine!
.........
Lu Hua was considered a gifted lyricist and composer.
The songs [Kite], [Sweet Lover], and [Love River] he had created 10 years ago were appealing to the masses. They were good songs with relatively good popularity.
Although as time flowed, his talent began to decline and his works also sank in quality…
However, it didn't affect his fame in the industry. Although he couldn't be considered a top-tier creator, he was still one of the A-list.
Naturally, in life, he was also a passionate and extremely principled man. He would wake up early in the morning to exercise. After exercising, he would drink a cup of tea and eat breakfast, followed by scrolling through Weibo and typing out some articles that were filled with emotions and literacy value for his fans to see. His life was happy and content...
"Mn?" What's going on? Why is my [See you again lover] yesterday so popular?"
Today, he opened up Weibo as usual and refreshed it for the headlines. After that, he discovered to his shock that his name was the number one 'search term' in Weibo headlines.
He felt a little strange.
Although his fans weren't small in number, his articles would at most rank 4th in terms of popularity. He had never been ranked first before.
(Could it be that my [See you again lover] was written extremely well to the extent where the readers could relate to it? Was that why it became so popular overnight?)
Lu Hua subconsciously clicked in for a look…
"Why are you so uncultured!"
"Can't you have some gentlemanly demeanor? In the past, I thought you were cultured. I didn't expect you to be so sanctimonious!"
"Are you looking down on our little angel An Xiao? Don't think that because you are quite famous, you can suppress a newbie and look down on them."
"I will admit that the lyrics you wrote are not bad. But, hehe…"
"I'm going to blacklist you forever. You are so arrogant. Do you think that you are the only one who knows how to compose melodies and write lyrics? Hmph!"
"..."
"???"
A bright and sunny morning would cause everyone to feel happy.
Lu Hua was no exception.
When he saw his article getting on the front page, it was originally something to be joyful about.
However, after he read the negative comments below the article, which all seemed to be scolding him, Lu Hua was instantly dumbstruck!
(What's going on?)
(Yesterday, I only drank a little wine and fell asleep. I listened to a few songs and wrote an article. Why…)
Tens of minutes later, when he opened up a video, he instantly fell into a daze.
(Barbarian Lu?)
(This is my nickname? Wrong! This isn't me! This song [Invisible Wings] isn't written by me!)
(I got shot while I was lying down alright!)
At this moment, Lu Hua felt incredibly wronged by everyone. His good mood completely vanished.
Finally, he opened up his Weibo and typed a few words…
"I'm really not Barbarian Lu. I'm really not!"
At the same time, he silently cursed the real 'Barbarian Lu' for being a good-for-nothing.
(I was minding my own business and suddenly I became a scapegoat?)
.........
All in all, the new album release was pretty successful.
After An Xiao sang [Invisible Wings], the applause was thunderous. The industry insiders also gave very good evaluations for this song.
An Xiao initially felt grateful toward Lu Yuan.
However, after the phone call was connected, the feelings of gratitude had vanished without a trace.
Lu Yuan this bastard was absolutely disgraceful!
She felt that Lu Yuan was simply someone sent down by the heavens to annoy her. He didn't even have a trace of gentlemanly demeanor at all.
Wang Cuihua?
When she thought of these three words, An Xiao began gnashing her teeth.
Even An Xiao could imagine how a 'Wang Cuihua' would look like…
A village girl wearing a hat with an old-fashioned hairstyle and a simple smile on her face.
When she thought of this appearance, An Xiao was so angry that her lungs felt like exploding.
(How can you link me to a girl like that?!)
However, she could only suppress her anger and not vent it out during the interview.
She had to maintain her smile and waited until the end of the interview.
The new album release could be considered a success, but she felt that she had lost her face.
"An Xiao, there are still a few TV programs you have to attend at night. You can go take a good rest for now."
"Mn, Sister Chen."
"What?"
"I feel that when my album is released, the creator of [Invisible Wings] cannot be named Lu Yuan."
"Oh? Why?"
"Change it to Barbarian Lu, or Pighead Lu, or Doggy Lu…"
"Ah? This… The check of the new album has already been passed. If you change something, you will have to explain to the writer Lu Yuan, right?
"There's nothing bad about it. You don't have to care about the writer. He's simply a bastard! Change it to Doggy Lu, I feel it's pretty good. Right, go with Doggy Lu!"
"Doggy Lu…"
The agent cast a strange look at An Xiao who was still gnashing her teeth.
Wasn't this name a little too…?
......
"A`Yuan, I don't know whether I should tell you this or not."
"Fart if you need to."
"There seemed to be someone becoming a scapegoat for you."
"Huh? Scapegoat? What scapegoat?"
"Look at Weibo yourself…"
"I'm not free now, so I'll look at it after I come back. I have to go and record a song now, I'm very very busy…"
"Alright then, I just feel a baffling sense of sadness for that person named Lu Hua."
