Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

"Please welcome the Chopsticks Brothers to perform their brand new song: 'Little Apple'..."

When Cao Ying said this, many insiders in the first three rows raised their eyebrows in unison. Because the Chopsticks Brothers, artists under Qianyu Times, were the focus of attention, many people knew that the song Chopsticks Brothers used this time should be their hit song "Old Boy". Why did they change to a new song?

Places like the China-Korea Song Festival actually have a flavor of entertainment competition between the two countries, so singers almost never use new songs that "have not been tested by the market". Moreover, even if you want a new song, the organizers will not agree!

Therefore, even just by changing the song, insiders can tell what's behind it: Li Shuo had the singer and the organizer in his hands, and even got CCTV to help him keep it a secret until the moment of the performance!

But what's the point of all this?!

Zhou Huanian, Xu Huixin and others sneered. They had been paying attention to the order of appearance and knew that the order of appearance for the Chopsticks Brothers had not changed, but they were the second to last!
Since the order hasn't changed, it proves that you haven't made much of a splash!
Just then, I noticed that Cao Ying hadn't left the stage, and the background music hadn't started playing. The former CCTV female host paused for a full 10 seconds before continuing:
"This song by the Chopstick Brothers is actually the result of cultural exchange between China and South Korea..."

She delivered a long, high-sounding speech that left everyone bewildered. Finally, she continued with the introduction:
"Please welcome South Korea's queen of dance: Faye Seul-ki, and please welcome the champion of Peking Opera: Jin Chen!"

"They will join the Chopstick Brothers in presenting a joint song and dance performance by China and South Korea!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the fans behind him instinctively applauded in welcome, while the first three rows were simultaneously stunned:
"What? The Chopsticks Brothers have actually teamed up with Fei Seul-ki?"

"How come another Beijing dance champion has suddenly appeared? Who is she?"

"It must be Li Shuo's counterattack, but the question is, how exactly did he do it?"

Li Shuo simply clapped calmly, watching the Chopsticks Brothers take the stage. However, the two walked on opposite sides, and when they reached the front of the stage, the lights changed instantly, dividing the stage in two with lighting effects!

On the right side, laser lights flashed continuously, creating a vibrant South Korean dance stage atmosphere. The next moment, Bae Seul-ki made a dazzling entrance in a sexy crop top!
On the left side, the lighting was soft and soothing, and the background even had traditional Chinese colors. Emerging from the rising platform was an elegant and beautiful young woman dressed in Hanfu, who was none other than this morning!
"I planted a seed, and it has finally grown into fruit. Today is a great day..."

"I'll pluck the stars from the sky and give them to you, I'll pluck the moon from the sky and give it to you..."

The moment the song started, dancers began to dance on both sides at the same time. Fei Seqi and Jin Chen moved in perfect unison, swaying their graceful figures to the rhythm. However, due to the different lighting and makeup, they gave completely different feelings!
Fei Seqi is even more sexy and alluring, her figure has completely transformed into an S-shape, and she exudes a sexy charm at all times.

This morning, she was even more elegant and relaxed, and the elegance and grandeur of Hanfu were perfectly embodied in her!
Seeing this, Li Shuo in the audience breathed a sigh of relief: because of its fast rhythm and consistent beat, "Little Apple" is relatively easy to dance to. Fei Seqi's current dance is not much different from the original MV in her previous life. On the contrary, the dance she danced this morning was mostly her own original choreography!

Although her choreography was influenced by Li Shuo and has traces of her past life, as a classical dancer, her dance style is completely classical and gentle, which is actually inconsistent with the rhythm of "Little Apple".

But that was a solo dance. Now, two stunning beauties with completely different styles are dancing a hot dance, one classical and one sexy, on the left and one right. Just in terms of eye candy, it is dazzling and captivating. Who would care about this little flaw?

Moreover, even Li Shuo, who had watched the choreography from the beginning, did not notice any "flaws" at this moment. He only felt that everything was perfectly matched and perfect!
"You are my little apple, just like the most beautiful cloud in the sky..."

The singing continued. The most amazing thing about "Little Apple" is its catchy melody and easy-to-understand lyrics. When sung by the Chopstick Brothers, their voices and the melody were perfectly combined. Coupled with the hot dance of two top beauties from China and Korea, the scene was already at its peak!

Even on the second verse, many fans in the back row couldn't help but sing along: "You are my little apple..."

Lan Ying'er, who was holding Li Shuo's hand, unconsciously tightened her grip. Li Shuo turned to look at her and saw her face full of excitement. He muttered, "So it's a success, right? Is your artist going to become famous with this song?"

Li Shuo chuckled and said, "The audience response was good. It seems this song has made a breakthrough. Besides, Chopsticks Brothers are already a famous group. They are actually a top-tier singer group in today's music scene..."

"Oh, that's not what I meant. I don't care about celebrities at all..."

Lan Ying'er rolled her eyes at him, but quickly said excitedly, "What I mean is, with their performance at the China-Korea Song Festival, won't Zhou Huanian lose face? I heard that this bigwig in the Beijing entertainment circle previously ordered a ban on the Chopsticks Brothers. Now, let alone a ban, he definitely can't stop the Chopsticks Brothers from becoming so popular, right?"

"You're right"

Li Shuo reached out and pinched her nose, giving an affirmative answer.

Lan Ying'er's eyes widened, sparkling with surprise and joy: Although she had always believed in Li Shuo's abilities, it was only an emotional inclination; deep down, she hadn't really thought Li Shuo was powerful enough to overpower Zhou Huanian, a bigwig in Beijing's elite circles. But now…

Her boyfriend, who had only recently arrived in Beijing, was able to withstand Zhou Huanian's pressure and even managed to prevent Zhou Huanian from making a comeback on his first attempt.

It all feels so dreamlike!

Just then, the music gradually stopped: the song "Little Apple" was finished!
There was a brief two-second silence on the scene, followed by enthusiastic applause from the audience in the back rows. This divine song, after being handed over to the original singer by Li Shuo, immediately displayed an amazing charm that was no less than that of its predecessor!
Most of the people in the first three rows turned their gazes to Li Shuo, their expressions mostly scrutinizing and amazed. Even Lan Ying'er, a semi-outsider, knew that the Chopstick Brothers' outstanding performance was tantamount to Li Shuo's resounding victory over Zhou Huanian. Other insiders naturally understood even more deeply that this song, with its fast-paced rhythm and catchy tune, was bound to be sung extensively. Zhou Huanian had already lost!
At this moment, Li Shuo glanced at Chen Guanwei beside him, clapped his hands, and stood up.

Chen Guanwei instantly understood that this was an opportunity to press her advantage, so she stood up with a smile...

As she moved, some professors from Beijing Film Academy and elites from the Central Academy of Drama in the first row also stood up...

By this time, the overall situation was basically settled, so Han Ping, who was sitting in the center, thought for a moment, then stood up and praised Li Shuo with a smile: "Brother Shuo, congratulations on producing another great song!"

Chen Guanwei, standing nearby, clapped and laughed, "President Han, you may not know this, but Li Shuo personally composed this song..." While the bigwigs were chatting in hushed tones, the second and third rows followed suit and stood up to applaud!
Seeing the unusual movement from the front row, and knowing that the song was indeed beautiful, perhaps even the best song they'd heard at the entire China-Korea Song Festival, the audience in the back also stood up and applauded...

About 10 seconds later, as the applause was about to end, Wang Ruoran tugged at Xu Huixin next to her, and the two stood up: it was the prevailing trend, and those who were standing might not get Li Shuo's attention, but those who were still sitting would be too conspicuous!
Then the second row, and the third row!

Wang Ruoran also stood up. She tugged at Xu Huixin, whose face was stiff, but he still forced himself to get up...

In the end, only Zhou Huanian and a few people around him remained standing. They all followed Zhou Huanian's lead and dared not stand up since their leader hadn't done so.

However, almost everyone had the same thought:
This time, the boss really lost face!
Everyone thought the song "Little Apple" would be a hit, but it hadn't spread yet, so it was hard to say for sure. However, the thunderous applause was genuine. Every person who clapped was like slapping Zhou Huanian hard across the face. This was a devastating blow to his reputation as a bigwig in the Beijing entertainment circle!

Of course, the applause couldn't last forever. Li Shuo stood up and clapped for about half a minute before gesturing to Chen Guanwei and Han Ping, inviting everyone to sit down. As the bigwigs took their seats, the lively atmosphere in the back gradually subsided...

It wasn't until then that Xiao Sa returned to the stage. However, this time he didn't immediately introduce the program. Instead, he joked, "Wow, I didn't expect the Chopstick Brothers' new song to be so good, and I also didn't expect the South Korean dance queen, Fei Seqi, and our Beijing dance champion's backup dancers this morning to be so outstanding. To be honest, I was so engrossed in watching that I'm already late for the show..."

"Next up, please welcome the final song of this Huahan Song Concert: Jane Zhang's 'Painting Heart'!"

Upon hearing the introduction, Li Shuo raised his eyebrows. He hadn't expected that "Painting Heart" would become the final song. But then he thought about it. "Painting Heart" was the theme song for the movie "Painted Skin," and Zhang was a singer heavily promoted by Hong Kong capital. Considering her strength in all aspects, it was reasonable for her to be the final song.

Then, as Li Shuo expected, he saw Zhang Liangying's backup dancers from this morning behind her! However, compared to the two solo performances of "Little Apple," although Zhang Liangying was a solo backup dancer, her outfit was still a bit ordinary and not as stunning as the one in "Little Apple."

Despite this, Chen Guanwei, who was standing next to Li Shuo, still exclaimed in surprise and asked, "Is that girl from your company? What championship did she win? How did she get to dance on stage twice?"

Lan Ying'er, who was Jin Chen's best friend, immediately looked at Li Shuo.

"Um, her name is Jin Chen. She just signed with Shuoguo Culture not long ago. It was agreed beforehand that she would be a backup dancer for the Chopsticks Brothers, but I didn't expect that she would have another backup dancer..."

As for the so-called "champion," it turns out that this morning's experience was too short, so they used the champion from within the Beijing Dance Academy to make up the numbers, which is why Li Shuo didn't mention it at all.

Hearing his standard answer, Lan Ying'er cursed him inwardly for being "biased," and the idea of ​​exaggerating the matter and telling Li Yitong about it aloud made those two mistresses jealous of each other!

At this moment, Li Shuo turned to her with a gentle smile, took her hand and stood up, asking softly, "Did you have fun tonight?"

Lan Ying'er then realized that the two hosts on stage, Cao Ying and Xiao Sa, had already announced the official end of the Huahan Song Concert and invited the guests in the audience to come up on stage for a group photo. Li Shuo wanted to take her up on stage for a group photo.

For some reason, she thought about all her boyfriend's behavior that day, from picking her up in the Rolls-Royce, to spending millions on the Cullinan, and then taking her away to the private bathroom...

Everything was perfect, especially the "journey" in the bathroom. Although it was thrilling, it was even more exciting. Lan Ying'er even felt that her soul had been opened by the man at that time!
"I'm very happy today..."

Thinking of this, she tightened her grip on the man's large hand. Seeing Cao Ying pull Jin Chen, who was still wearing her dance costume, away from the stage and lead her over, Lan Ying'er said, "Don't just focus on me. Jin Chen is here. Her performance today was also excellent!"

Ok?
Li Shuo's face instantly filled with question marks. If the occasion weren't so inappropriate, he would definitely have said, "What's going on? Did the sun rise in the west?"

"Shuo-ge'er, how about we have our Peking Opera champion stand next to you?" At this moment, Cao Ying pulled Jin Chen to the two of them and pushed Jin Chen next to Li Shuo Shen without saying a word.

This morning, her large, watery eyes looked at Li Shuo with tenderness, paused for about two seconds, then realized that Lan Ying'er was next to him, so she quickly said, "Um, I think I'll stand in the back row..."

"Why are you standing in the back row? You're acting like I don't know you. Come on, stand to Shuo-ge's left!"

Lan Ying'er's words instantly lightened the somewhat awkward atmosphere. Jin Chen was full of surprise, and his impression of Lan Ying'er was similar to that of Li Shuo just now.

Although Li Shuo couldn't understand it, he knew it was a good thing, so he quickly grabbed one in each hand and spread them apart, saying, "Hurry up and stand still, we're going to take a group photo!"

After saying that, the man realized something and suddenly looked behind him. He saw Li Yitong looking at him with a resentful expression from the very back of the three rows away. To be precise, she was looking at the back of Li Shuo's head...

"Xiao Xiao..."

The Chopsticks Brothers were standing behind him, so he winked at one of them and then waved to Li Yitong.

The Chopsticks Brothers reacted quickly, separating themselves to allow Li Yitong to stand between them.

This whole sequence of actions was also witnessed by Lan Ying'er and Jin Chen. Seeing their mortal enemy approaching, Jin Chen was about to lash out when he suddenly remembered Lan Ying'er's acceptance of him. So, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded to Li Yitong.

Having just seen Lan Ying'er and standing with Li Shuo this morning, Li Yitong, filled with self-pity, underwent an almost 180-degree emotional reversal after these actions: her surprise was mixed with a hint of trepidation... (End of Chapter)
