At seven o'clock sharp, the lights at the Paramount Ballroom went out.

The spotlights on both sides of the stage lit up at the same time, and the two beams of light converged in the center of the stage.

As the drumbeats began, the murmurs in the crowd gradually subsided, and everyone's attention turned to the stage.

Song Cheng'an walked out from the side stage. He was wearing a neatly tailored black stage costume with the collar slightly open and a thin silver chain around his neck.

He walked to the center of the stage, raised his voice, and the crowd gasped.

As the music started, Song Cheng'an quickly got into the zone, singing more and more relaxed.

The crowd erupted in applause, "Well done, you sang!"

Suddenly the stage lights dimmed and then came back on.

Song Cheng'an held a red-tasseled spear in his hand.

Someone in the audience exclaimed "Oh!" with surprise and curiosity in their voice.

"You still have martial arts skills?"

The red-tasseled spear spun in his hand, its shaft close to his wrist, tracing an arc along his body as it spun, before he caught it steadily.

With the beat of the drums, the gun was steady in his hand; he turned, flipped, flicked, and pressed, his movements clean and crisp.

Finally, the movement concludes.

There was a moment of silence in the audience, then someone started clapping.

The applause lasted for a long time.

"One more song! One more song!" someone in the audience shouted. "You sang so well!"

"Great! Great singing and dancing!"

This group was another "atmosphere group" that Shen Tang had arranged in advance.

The audience was stirred up and chanted "One more song!"

Song Cheng'an rushed backstage and looked at Shen Tang, "How did it go?"

"Great! Get ready for the next song." Shen Tang's eyes shone.

She could almost see the sperm and silver rolling toward her.

The second song is more upbeat than the first, with a touch of disco.

Song Cheng'an changed into a looser, more comfortable outfit, with the neckline slightly open, and relaxedly swayed his body to the music.

"Let's all dance!"

Song Cheng'an shouted to the audience.

Some people in the audience swayed to the rhythm, someone whistled, and then there were a few scattered cheers.

Everyone was immersed in his singing and swayed gently along.

The third song is an energetic dance track, a DJ dance track adapted by Shen Tang.

The audience erupted in cheers, the music trembled, and Song Cheng'an on stage was completely immersed in his song.

His dance rhythm was clear and his movements were powerful, drawing the audience into a frenzy.

After singing the three songs, Song Cheng'an stood in the center of the stage and bowed slightly to the audience.

That concludes today's performance! Thank you everyone!

"One more song!" someone shouted.

Then more voices of agreement rang out, which were not arranged by Shen Tang in advance.

Song Cheng'an looked at Shen Tang, who was standing beside the stage, and Shen Tang gently shook her head.

"Excuse me!" Song Cheng'an quickly ran off the stage.

A sigh of regret rose from the crowd.

"There are still quite a few songs left, why didn't you let him sing them?" Lin Manni asked as she walked to Shen Tang's side.

"Keep it as a souvenir," Shen Tang said. "Three songs tonight is just right; any more and it'll be worthless."

Lin Manni thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense."

After the performance, some people asked, "When will he sing again?" and others pulled Gu Siming aside to ask, "Has he ever recorded a tape?"

Lin Manni swirled the red wine in her glass, looking at Shen Tang.

"It's done. Looks like those tapes won't be enough to sell!"

"Of course not! I want to promote Song Cheng'an nationwide," Shen Tang said with a smile.

"Will Huo Xiuyuan be jealous when he comes back?" Lin Manni teased.

"Of course not, Song Cheng'an is just my cash cow."

"What is Huo Xiuyuan to you?"

"She is my precious darling."

"Hahaha..." Lin Manni burst into laughter, "If he heard that, I wonder how happy he'd be!"

Mentioning Huo Xiuyuan, Shen Tang frowned. "He hasn't called for several days. I wonder how he's doing?"

"Let's wait a little longer!" Lin Manni was also a little worried.

The next day, Song Cheng'an took the stage as usual. This time, the crowd was so large that the Paramount Ballroom was almost overflowing.

"My God! This is the busiest Paramount Ballroom I've ever been. I'm thinking, should we expand the venue?"

Gu Siming looked at the room full of people and exclaimed in amazement.

"Today I'll have Song Cheng'an sing a few more songs, and then we can put the record up for sale. Limited to 50 copies."

"50 tickets? How can that be enough to sell for so many people?" Gu Siming said.

"Hunger marketing," Shen Tang laughed.

Gu Siming narrowed his eyes. "Shen Tang, I really underestimated you."

Song Cheng'an has already started singing on stage.

The opening song today was very energetic and quickly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.

Many young girls shouted Song Cheng'an's name loudly.

Seeing so many people like him made Song Cheng'an feel great, and he sang more and more relaxed.

"Song Cheng-an is a natural-born star; this typhoon is fantastic."

Shen Tang couldn't help but sigh.

I practiced typhoon drills for so long before I was finally able to perform with ease on stage.

Where does the idea that God is fair come from?

Life is inherently unfair. In this life, she won't be a star; she'll become a capitalist.

Song Cheng'an sang four songs in a row, and walked off the stage covered in sweat.

"Shen Tang, am I famous now?"

"We're already famous, and we'll become even more famous," Shen Tang said with a smile. "Let's take a break, write one last song, and then sell records."

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to sell now?" Song Cheng'an said, wiping his sweat.

"What's not good about it? I've invested so much manpower and resources, for what? Hurry up, limit purchases to 50 tickets!"

"50 sheets? That's definitely not enough," Song Cheng'an said.

"That's exactly what we want. If it were enough, who would come back next time?"

Song Cheng'an thought for a moment, but didn't want to overthink it, and said, "Fine, whatever you say goes."

"Remember, don't try to sell it aggressively," Shen Tang instructed. "Just say that only 50 copies were recorded."

Song Cheng'an nodded and went back onto the stage.

After finishing the song, he called out loudly, "Have you heard enough?"

"No--"

"You want to hear more, don't you?"

"yes--"

Song Cheng'an carried the box behind him up and took out two cassette tapes, holding them in his hands.

"These are my cassette tapes. There aren't many, only 50."

"I want it, I want it—"

Before Song Cheng'an could finish speaking, a girl raised her hand high and shouted.

Song Cheng'an chuckled lightly, "Don't rush, it's four yuan a piece. Buy it if you think it's reasonable. There are 12 songs recorded on it—"

"I want it, I want it, I want it too—"

The crowd stirred, and some people pushed their way forward.

"Quickly comfort her," Shen Tang whispered.

"Quiet, quiet down," Song Cheng'an hurriedly said. "Listen to me, there are only 50 copies now, but we will continue to record more, and everyone will be able to buy them."

"Everyone should line up in an orderly manner. Those who cut in line or push and shove will not be sold a single strand."

Without Shen Tang's instruction, Song Cheng'an had already made the arrangements himself.

The queue quickly formed several loops.

"Those who want to buy, line up! If it's sold out, you can pre-order!"

As soon as Song Cheng'an finished speaking, the girl who was first in line immediately took out her money.

Give me one!

.....

Shen Tang's eyes lit up as she watched the slowly moving crowd. This was all money!

"Sister Shen Tang, the phone is ringing—"

Shen Tang ran over lightly, "Is that Huo Xiuyuan?"

"No, they said it was from the Public Security Bureau."

Shen Tang's heart tightened, and she quickly ran over.
