Entertainment: Wanted to Acquire the Company on the First Day of Signing

100: Not willing to suffer any lossAs soon as the opera vocals came out, everyone’s scalp instantly tingled. Everyone’s first reaction was that this song could actually be sung this way! And singing it like this sounded so beautiful!

Chen Ting stood up in excitement, and the other three veteran singers were also amazed; this combination was simply too perfect.

The Director was also extremely excited. Lu Qingyu’s song of the pipa had achieved a fusion of the ancient and the modern, even serving to promote culture.

They could already see the hidden value of this song.

Lu Qingyu was immersed in his own performance, completely unaware of the shock he had brought to the audience and everyone in the Program Production Team.

The musicians offstage couldn’t help but slap their thighs. The accompaniment for the song of the pipa had such a great charm; it used popular music styles combined with the ancient pipa, and the unique sound of the Dragon Nation’s bronze gongs added a playful feel. They seemed to see the grandeur of that era.

The rhythm suddenly slowed by eight beats, and the opera vocal monologue followed.

“Sinking into thought, she tucked the plectrum back into the strings, straightened her clothes, and composed her expression.”

“She said she was originally a girl from the Capital, living at the foot of Xiama Hill.”

“At thirteen, she mastered the pipa, her name listed in the first section of the Music Academy.”

“After a song, even the masters were impressed; once her makeup was done, she was often envied by the other beauties.”

This narrative monologue not only didn’t make the music feel out of place, but instead showcased the song’s storytelling.

Everyone listened with great interest, even wishing there was more.

“Doleful, unlike the previous sounds; the entire audience wept as they listened again, everyone wept.”

“Who among the audience wept the most? The Jiangzhou Sima, his blue robe soaked, his blue robe soaked.”

“The Jiangzhou Sima, his blue robe soaked.”

After the last two lines were sung, the entire audience stood up.

The 756-word song of the pipa used three different performance styles throughout the song. After the music ended, everyone felt like they hadn’t heard enough.

[If I had heard this song in high school, I wouldn’t have spent two months and still not memorized the song of the pipa.]

[Is this the same song of the pipa that I used to hate so much? Why do I suddenly feel in love with it?]

[I must be possessed; I actually have the urge to memorize the song of the pipa now.]

[So good! If my high school poems were memorized this way, I could do three a day.]

[Stunning! I’ve fallen in love with Lu Qingyu.]

Lu Qingyu’s performance ended, and the audience was boiling with excitement.

Even the people from the Program Production Team couldn’t help but stop their work to cheer for Lu Qingyu.

The Host walked onto the stage amidst the cheers to announce Lu Qingyu’s votes.

The most nervous person in the venue right now should be Song Ke; his only feeling was fear, fear that Lu Qingyu would surpass him.

The numbers on the big screen were jumping, and under everyone’s anticipation, the number finally froze.

9.8 million votes!

Chen Ting couldn’t help but blurt out, ”Holy crap.”

Lou Qingran transformed from an introvert to an extrovert and jumped high.

The Director knelt directly in front of the camera.

Song Ke felt like the world was collapsing. He looked at Lu Qingyu on stage with resentment, and for a moment, he had the urge to destroy this person.

The look was fleeting, but it was still caught by Lu Qingyu.

Song Ke lowered his head to hide it, while Lu Qingyu’s eyes held a hint of coldness—the score still had to be settled.

Lu Qingyu looked back at his score—9.8 million, quite high. He turned his head to look at Chen Ting.

Chen Ting rushed up and gave Lu Qingyu a lift!

Chen Ting: ”My eldest son is so handsome!”

Lu Qingyu was originally happy, but then felt something was wrong. Wait, what eldest son? I didn’t agree to that. Taking advantage of me?

Lu Qingyu’s eyes suddenly became scrutinizing, as if saying to Chen Ting: What are you doing?

Lu Qingyu had the best resources in Black Pearl Entertainment and the best Agent. Other artists privately said that Lu Qingyu was the ’biological son’ of Black Pearl Entertainment.

Chen Ting had also accidentally heard this rumor and thought it was quite funny at the time, even joking about it with outsiders a few times.

He was really excited just now and accidentally let it slip.

”Hahaha.”

Chen Ting laughed twice to hide the embarrassment: ”Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue. My younger brother is truly handsome.”

Only then did Lu Qingyu smile.

Chen Ting silently wiped away a sweat.

In the final episode of Music Partner, Lu Qingyu was still the champion, maintaining a six-win streak. With the boost from this show, Lu Qingyu rose directly from a quasi-second-tier singer to a second-tier singer, but his popularity was close to that of a top-tier star.

Music Partner achieved legendary status this season, and the production quality was pushed to the limit.

The Director was both happy and worried. He was happy because their show had truly exploded in popularity with massive traffic, but he was worried about what to do for the next season. Lu Qingyu had increased the show’s traffic more than fivefold this season; what singers could they invite next season to maintain the show’s momentum?

With Lu Qingyu’s popularity being so high, if he could continue to join the next season, it would definitely guarantee the show’s success.

Seeing that Lu Qingyu hadn’t left yet, the Director immediately approached him:

”Teacher Lu, let’s chat for a bit.”

Seeing the Director approach, Lu Qingyu walked a few steps toward the backstage with him.

The Director said directly: ”Teacher Lu, I wonder if you’re interested in continuing to participate in the next season.”

The Director knew Lu Qingyu had an agency and that Lu Qingyu couldn’t decide on his own, but he wanted to know Lu Qingyu’s attitude, which was very important for whether they should invite him.

The Director believed the Program Production Team had been quite good to Lu Qingyu—no malicious editing, the best equipment, and the Staff Members he interacted with were all very honest—but he had overlooked today’s situation.

Lu Qingyu knew the Director wanted his attitude, but he wasn’t someone who would take a loss quietly. When selecting the audience today, the Lighting Technician’s cheating was so obvious; who couldn’t see it?

There were eight fan groups in the venue, veteran singers’ fans came to support, and there were also some ordinary spectators. Yet, by some coincidence, the ones selected on his side were all Song Ke’s fans. That was a bit too much of a coincidence.

Even if the Program Production Team did it for the big picture, when he selected the pipa as his instrument, they should have chosen his own fans or Chen Ting’s fans to ensure the stability of the next keyword.

But the Lighting Technician was something else; as soon as Lu Qingyu called stop, the light swished onto Song Ke’s fans. Who did he think was blind?

It was only because his results were good today that everyone ignored it. If he had messed up today’s performance, would the Lighting Technician have been able to get away with it?

But performing well was his own ability; it wasn’t to give others a chance to excuse themselves.

Lu Qingyu still had a smile on his face, but his words were spoken like a joke:

”The ’hell mode’ the Director designed was only hellish for me. I wouldn’t dare come a second time.”

The Director’s heart skipped a beat, and he instantly realized what Lu Qingyu meant.

Because the live broadcast was too tense and time was tight, no one looked into it closely at the time, but when the audience was being selected, the people in the Program Production Team knew exactly what was going on.

The Director had worked his way up from a stagehand and understood these underhanded tactics all too well.

This matter could be big or small. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t be smiling while talking to him; they would have just had their company’s legal department issue a statement.

By then, the popularity the Program Production Team had built up through Lu Qingyu would collapse in an instant.

Cold sweat broke out on the Director’s back.

”Brother, this matter was the Program Production Team’s mistake. I will definitely give you an explanation.”

Lu Qingyu wasn’t a novice; anyone can just talk, but one must take action.

He guessed the Director’s ’explanation’ would just be firing the Lighting Technician. Such a deceptive way of handling things might fool a child.

”People say it’s good to suffer a bit of loss when you’re young, but for me, I’ll eat anything except a loss.”

If you can suffer a loss, you’ll have to keep suffering them. Whoever wants to suffer can do so, but I can’t take even a little.
