Some people shouted "Okay!" or "No problem!" and all of them looked at Xu Fan with excitement.

This is an opportunity to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, and no one would want to miss it.

They had already missed the show's performance, so they didn't want to miss this last one and a final chorus.

After Director Liu finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Xu Fan and said, "Mr. Xu, it's your turn next."

"Okay," Xu Fan nodded and continued, "Everyone, don't be nervous. The melody and tune of this song are very simple. It's a relatively soothing piece of music, and I believe everyone can learn it."

Xu Fan knew very well that the people in front of him were not ordinary people; each of them was a well-known movie star or singer in China.

Most of these gentlemen have released their own albums, which speaks volumes about their abilities. Learning a song like this would be a piece of cake for them.

What followed was basically the same as Xu Fan had guessed.

The choice of this song is very nice, even though it's simple.

But because it was simple, everyone learned it, and everyone sang it very seriously. During the teaching process, Xu Fan also saw Xue Laiyi arrive.

This proves that Xue Laiyi's song was also eliminated and did not pass.

When Xu Fan had almost finished learning the song, he saw Leng Xiaogu and Xue Laiyi looking at him expectantly. Clearly, their only chance to appear on the Spring Festival Gala was the skit Xu Fan had mentioned.

Although they don't know the specifics, they are still full of anticipation.

Xu Fan stepped down and said to the two of them, "Don't worry, I think it'll be fine."

Both of them nodded seriously, but just then, an untimely voice suddenly rang out from afar, saying coldly, "Xu Fan, what makes you think you can skip rehearsals?"

Xu Fan was stunned. Was he not required to participate, or was he simply not present?

He subconsciously tried to find Director Liu, but found he wasn't there. The man even walked towards Xu Fan, continuing, "Everyone is working hard to perform, and you're here teaching them to sing. They're so grateful to you for teaching them to sing and giving them the opportunity to perform on the Spring Festival Gala. But what about you? You monopolized a music and singing program all by yourself. You directly decided on a program by yourself. Why?"

As he spoke the last three words, the person appeared right in front of Xu Fan.

Most importantly, those three resounding words are as powerful as if they were describing a fact.

Xu Fan recognized the person in front of him, so he was very shocked. He stared at the person and frowned as he asked, "Are you settling a personal score, or are you deliberately provoking me?"

Liu Yuanzhou stared at Xu Fan and said, "Xu Fan, it's been a long time, and you're still the same. Do you know that it's shameless of you to pre-select the qualification by yourself? How dare you teach everyone to sing here?"

Xue Laiyi stood up next to Xu Fan and said, "Liu Yuanzhou, don't push your luck. Do you think this is still your home? You're talking nonsense. Go back to where you belong."

Xue Laiyi had never been so angry before; very few people could make him so angry.

However, he had to admit that Liu Yuanzhou's appearance today made him very angry, and the things Liu Yuanzhou said made him even angrier, so he directly retorted with profanity.

But the only response he received was Liu Yuanzhou's calm voice. Liu Yuanzhou said coldly, "Xue Laiyi, you're all birds of a feather. I just don't accept it. Why is Xu Fan exempt from the rehearsal? Don't you all agree?"

Unfortunately, inspired by Liu Yuanzhou, some people actually shouted, "Yes!"

===Chapter 444 The Sound of Slapping Face===

Liu Yuanzhou's sudden appearance really surprised Xu Fan.

Most importantly, I haven't participated in any rehearsals so far.

I didn't ask, mainly because I hadn't participated in the rehearsal for the CCTV New Year's Eve concert before I joined directly, so I didn't think too much about it when Director Liu asked me to teach everyone.

But at this moment, with Liu Yuanzhou's loud shouts, everyone felt that it was somewhat unfair.

Even if the song they learned was written by Xu Fan and given to them by Xu Fan.

However, Liu Yuanzhou successfully misled many people's thinking, making them believe that Xu Fan had simply taken up a spot, which angered many people.

Xu Fan knew Liu Yuanzhou fairly well.

From The Coming One to the later record battle, his reappearance in front of Xu Fan has truly angered him. He stared at Liu Yuanzhou and said, "To put it nicely, this is called being unreasonable; to put it bluntly, this is called a leopard can't change its spots."

Liu Yuanzhou said coldly, "Xu Fan, you didn't participate in the rehearsals for the CCTV New Year's Eve Gala, and now you're shamelessly standing here, taking away everyone's spots from the Spring Festival Gala, which concerns the whole country."

Just as Xu Fan was about to speak, Director Liu, who was nearby, jogged over and asked, "What's wrong, everyone?"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze back to Xu Fan and said, "Mr. Xu, thank you for your hard work just now. Now the rehearsal is just missing you. Why don't you go ahead first?"

Xu Fan was stunned for a moment. He didn't know if it was true or if Director Liu was trying to help him out. Regardless of the reason, Xu Fan was very grateful. He bent down and looked at Zhao Yuanzhou, saying, "Maybe you should wait a few more minutes before coming out, otherwise it will hurt a lot here."

Xu Fan pointed to his face, then turned and left.

Xue Laiyi, standing beside Liu Yuanzhou, sneered and quickly followed Xu Fan.

Not to be outdone, Leng Xiaogu quickly followed behind.

At the same time, Liu Yuanzhou's face was very unpleasant. He pointed at Xu Fan's back for a long time without being able to say anything. It wasn't until the others around him also quickly followed Xu Fan to the rehearsal hall that he realized what was happening and hurriedly followed.

When Xu Fan arrived at the rehearsal hall, there were still many people there, whether they had passed or not, all seemingly waiting for Xu Fan's final performance.

After Xu Fan walked over, the fat man said, "Mr. Xu is here. What song did you bring us?"

Xu Fan looked at the fat man, took the microphone from beside him and said, "The song has been submitted, and the lyrics and title have already been given to you. I will sing it now."

Director Liu returned to his seat, nodded, and said, "Xu Fan, please begin your performance. We'll be watching closely and listening attentively."

Xu Fan smiled slightly, and then the music started playing.

Looking at everyone below the stage, Xu Fan sang the other song he had prepared with utmost seriousness, which was met with thunderous applause.

Xu Fan smiled and thanked everyone.

The applause continued, because this song was indeed better than most songs. At least for the Spring Festival Gala, singing this song was perfect and absolutely no mistake.

Especially this song and the song we sang together, everyone thought both of them were great.

It could even be described as shocking; these two songs are so good that some people still have doubts about them.

Therefore, many people's eyes fell on Liu Yuanzhou, intentionally or unintentionally. And for some unknown reason, the people around Liu Yuanzhou subconsciously moved away from Xu Fan while he was singing.

As a result, Liu Yuanzhou was instantly isolated from the crowd. He stood in the middle of the crowd, but there was no one within a 30-meter radius around him, which made Liu Yuanzhou both angry and furious.

He had clashed with Xu Fan more than once because of his brother, but he always lost completely. So he wanted to seize every opportunity.

However, what happened next was disastrous. Since losing to Xu Fan, he has had very few fans in his personal life, film and television career, and even concerts, which has made him frustrated and speechless.

Today, he was honored to attend the rehearsal ceremony for the Spring Festival Gala. He never dreamed that the program he had prepared would be eliminated, while Xu Fan, who did not participate in the program, was pre-selected for a spot. That's why he was going to use this method to bring Xu Fan down from his pedestal.

They never expected that Xu Fan would offer a discount, or even that the song they had just learned to sing was written by Xu Fan.

So he was furious.

But seeing everyone around him leaving, he became even angrier and roared, "Xu Fan, if you've got the guts, sing another song!"

Xu Fan shrugged and said, "I really don't have any ability."

Liu Yuanzhou opened his mouth, feeling as if he had punched cotton, leaving him at a loss for what to do. The punch, which was clearly vicious, felt like hitting cotton, making him extremely uncomfortable.

The scene was filled with mocking laughter, leaving countless people in awe.

Just then, the fat man not far from the stage spoke up: "Xu Fan, you have a huge task to complete at this New Year's Eve gala. Are you ready?"

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Within my capabilities, I will do my best."

The fat man laughed and said, "Very good, very good, Xu Fan, everyone is here today, why don't we hear your other songs too?"

Xu Fan smiled awkwardly and said, "We've already sung it, so let's forget about it."

But the fat man persisted, saying, "Xu Fan, sing a song! You see, some people always think you're overestimating yourself. Well, use your own ideas and sing a song to crush them."

After saying this, Xu Fan wanted to retort and say something, but someone in the audience shouted loudly, "Xu Fan, sing a song, sing a love song."

No sooner had that voice faded than another rang out, shouting loudly, "Superstar, sing a song! We've all been waiting for you, we've heard so many of your songs!"

Besides, voices kept ringing out in the audience. Upon closer listening, they all seemed to be asking him to sing one of his own songs. Even Xue Laiyi, who was standing to the side, encouraged him, saying, "The song you just sang was more suitable for the Spring Festival Gala, but it's not the kind of song that appeals to the general public. So, I suggest you sing a different song."

Xu Fan looked at Xue Laiyi, who continued, "Don't forget, everyone here is a big shot from the Zhonghai area. If you are chosen by one of these big shots for your performance tonight, you might gain a lot."

Leng Xiaogu, who was standing next to him, chimed in at the same time, "Xu Fan, I think Brother Xue is right. Although we just got off work, I think you really should sing. No matter which stars or others, once you sing, some people will probably be slapped in the face."

As she said this, Leng Xiaogu kept her eyes fixed on Liu Yuanzhou.

Just then, Xu Fan nodded and said, "In that case, I agree."

===Chapter 445 A Heartbreaking New Song===

Xu Fan glanced at Xue Laiyi and Leng Xiaogu, then gave Liu Yuanzhou a meaningful look.

Then he went backstage, handed over a USB drive, gave a few instructions, and walked towards the stage.

At the scene, no one started the applause, but everyone began to applaud. Clearly, the surprise Xu Fan brought to everyone was not limited to the internet. Whether it was the song that Xu Fan had others sing or the song that Xu Fan had just rehearsed, every song was a classic.

At this point, Xu Fan is going to sing another song, how could people not be excited?

This can be considered a result of being provoked, but it can also be seen as Xu Fan's explanation and outcome regarding certain matters.

Liu Yuanzhou's expression was not good, but he was still staring at Xu Fan.

He had already lost once, so he didn't care about losing again. The only regret was that perhaps he used to have the ability to compete with them, but now he was no longer qualified.

Xu Fan held the microphone, thought for a moment, and said, "I can't refuse such kindness, so I'll sing a song."

At the scene, everyone's eyes were fixed on Xu Fan, their eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.

Xu Fan continued, "This song has been recorded for a while now. A few days ago, my sister Shui'er was upset by her parents. I was very happy about that. Around the same time, my mother was accidentally injured and hospitalized. In a daze, I came from The Coming One, and now, time flies by, which makes me feel melancholy."

Everyone watched Xu Fan quietly, listening to every word he said.

Xue Laiyi couldn't help but exclaim from below, "Could it be a song related to the incident?"

Leng Xiaogu said from the side, "When Xu Fan mentioned his mother, I suddenly remembered that several of the songs he wrote for his mother were very good. Could this one be one too?"

The others around him were also talking, but Xu Fan's voice remained calm. He continued, "Time flies by, but we don't know where it goes. In the blink of an eye, we find that life has vanished. Here is a new song for everyone, 'Where Has the Time Gone?'"

After saying that, Xu Fan glanced backstage at the staff playing music and then nodded.

He did record this song some time ago, because it's really a great song.

Whether you listen to it from a time or other perspective, this song has a very profound meaning. He likes the lyrics, the melody, and the sense of helplessness and being tracked by time that it conveys.

Time rushes by, chasing after life, yet life slips away unnoticed.

When the music started, everyone in the room fell silent, including Xue Laiyi, Leng Xiaogu, and everyone else.

Xu Fan said that the song is called "Where Has the Time Gone?" The title alone is surprising, because it is somewhat sad, and evokes a sense of inexplicable sadness and helplessness.

Where has the time gone? This is a question, a question for which there is no answer.
