Before the old man Gu could speak, the female host laughed and said in agreement: “Do I even need to say? I’ve seen music critics online who said that
Xia Yanyan maintains her long-term dominance in the music charts only due to the beauty of the siren-like vocals and her nationwide influence. Now, Mr. Gu praises her without even having seen her, that’s something we only see once in a lifetime. Isn’t this indirectly slapping some critics in the face?”
Xia Yanyan also disliked those crude music critics who lacked basic manners. Unfortunately, being popular invites criticism.
In this world, what’s most plentiful is envy. She has been accustomed to others’ jealousy since she was young. All she needed to do was stand at an unrivaled height, watching with amusement those who were envious of her, but could only see her becoming more and more successful.
Xia Yanyan held the microphone with a humble smile: “I didn’t expect my unreleased single could earn Mr. Gu t s respect. Thank you for your recognition,
Mr. Gil.”
From the initial notes of Xia Yanyan’s performance, Old Man Gu realized that it was not the tune he had heard the previous night. However, he was a dignified man who would rather not publicly criticize others.
When the male host had asked him earlier, he had simply smiled. He did not expect the female host to use his reputation to flatter Xia Yanyan.
Regrettably, one of the critics was his longtime friend, and Old Man Gu did not want to be laughed at by his old friend, saying that he was obsessed with Xia Yanyan’s new song which was just more of the same.
Old Man Gu calmly began: “This new song is undeniably good…”
Before Old Man Gu could finish, Xia Yanyan bowed again: “Thank you. I’ve put a lot of effort into this song. I originally wanted to include it in the album I released earlier this year, but my standards told me it needed more work, so it hasn’t been released yet. I didn’t expect to receive such high praise from you, Mr. Gu, after an impromptu performance at the hotel. I haven’t figured out what to name this song. Mr. Gu, would you mind if I named it ‘Once in a Lifetime?”
“Sorry, I do mind.”
“Huh?” Xia Yanyan was taken aback, apparently not understanding.
Regret filled Old Man Gu t s voice: “Your song is indeed good. However, unfortunately, it is not my ‘Once in a Lifetime.’”
Almost losing her composure, Xia Yanyan subconsciously said: “How could that be?”
Below the stage, everyone started to stir. Competition was inevitable among peers, and many singers who had been overshadowed by Xia Yanyan straightened up, attentively watching the unexpected twist onstage.
“It’s not?” The female host also chimed in.
Old Man Gu shook his head: “No, although this song is very nice, it didn’t leave a memory I can’t forget. I hope the media friends here can help spread the message and help me find my ‘Once in a Lifetime.’ I also hope that the mysterious person from last night, if they see this news, can contact me.”
Xia Yanyan’s face turned pale, then flushed. What did Old Man Gu mean by saying her song was nice, but not enough to be his ‘Once in a Lifetime’? Wasn’t this slapping her face in front of the entire national audience?
How could she leave the stage today?
“Mr. Gu, I have a few other songs in my new album. Would you like to listen to another one?” She had to save her dignity no matter what happened today. Otherwise, it would be a huge embarrassment for her. Things were already going wrong today!
Old Man Gu, however, waved his hand: “It’s not necessary, your song is nice, it’s just not what I’m looking for.”
At this point, from the media area below the stage, an elegant voice suddenly asked: “Mr.. Gu, is the song you heard something like this?”
