Get the perfect music system at the start

It was a different kind of sadness.

The slow melody left everyone in the audience staring at Xu Fan in disbelief, because the song was so beautiful and moving.

Some people looked at Xu Fan with shock and admiration in their eyes. What kind of person was he to be able to write so many beautiful songs, both the lyrics and the music of which were so captivating?

Xu Fan's voice finally faded, and when Yi Yi finished singing "Where Has the Time Gone," the audience erupted in thunderous applause and even cheers.

But most people were clapping and talking to themselves. This song really touched them deeply. Every word of it could penetrate the depths of their hearts and make them feel heartbroken.

"I cried, I cried. I really cried listening to Fan Ge's song. My parents are getting older and older, and when will I be able to support them, take care of them, and protect them..."

"Time flies by too quickly, and years have passed in the blink of an eye. My biggest regret is that I didn't say more during our last phone call."

"Looking back silently, time has vanished without a trace, leaving me alone, staring blankly at the road I've traveled, overwhelmed by a mix of feelings."

“I used to blame my dad and complain that I wasn’t born into a wealthy family. Now I realize that no matter how humble my dad was, he raised me. That’s enough. It’s enough for me to repay him for the rest of my life.”

"The speed of success must outpace the speed at which our parents age, because only in this way can we roughly see where time is. Perhaps that's how it is!"

"I feel like crying as soon as I hear the intro. I remember when I was a child, I was naive and heard a song like this on a TV program. I don't know why, but I secretly hid in the bathroom and cried. Now, when I hear this song, I feel very sad and tears just come out as soon as I hear it."

The murmurs grew louder, and many people could no longer hold back their sobs and began to cry.

Some people began to leave, wiping away tears. Perhaps they wanted to find a quiet place to reflect, or perhaps they wanted to call their parents.

Perhaps they simply wanted to tell their parents that time flies, but they miss them.

Xu Fan stood on the stage, bowing slightly, and this time he didn't even glance at Liu Yuanzhou.

It wasn't just because of disdain; more importantly, he was also moved by the song and felt inexplicably sad.

Time flies like the wind, disappearing without a trace, and is gone in the blink of an eye.

I remember myself as a child, going to school in the countryside.

Back then, there was no such thing as kindergarten; there was only half a grade. My grandmother would pick me up and drop me off every day, but now she has passed away, and I can never see her again.

Xu Fan still remembers that he had a female classmate in his second year of high school.

That female classmate was also my first friend in my memory, but later he moved to Zhonghai.

From then on, he and that female classmate were separated by thousands of miles and he never saw her again.

They were young then, and their memories weren't very clear. He even forgot what she looked like; he only remembered her existence.

Time flies by so quickly.

Many years have passed in a flash, and I've forgotten most of what I should and shouldn't have forgotten.

Time is a kind of poison, or rather, an antidote.

He can access all the hurt and poison you've experienced, and he can also trap you in it, leaving you unable to escape and completely lost.

Xu Fan missed that girl, but he knew very well that even if she stood in front of him again, he might not recognize her.

Because time has smoothed out the rough edges of memories, the story is ultimately hard to make completely good.

He left the stage, walked down alone, stood aside, and suddenly felt a little sad.

Xue Laiyi and Leng Xiaogu exchanged a glance in the distance. Although they lamented the passage of time, they quickly came to Xu Fan's side.

Xue Laiyi patted Xu Fan on the shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Fan turned around and glanced at Xue Laiyi, saying, "Time flies. I suddenly thought of someone."

Leng Xiaogu looked at Xu Fan and said seriously, "A song that can move you must be a good song. Moreover, this song not only moved you, but it moved everyone. It's really beautiful."

Xu Fan turned around, looked at Leng Xiaogu, forced a smile, and said, "Thank you."

Leng Xiaogu nodded and said nothing more. Xue Laiyi looked at Xu Fan and smiled gently, saying, "Alright, don't think so much. What's lost can't be regained. This is the answer time gives us."

Xu Fan looked at Xue Laiyi, slightly taken aback. What's lost can never be regained; that's the answer time has given.

This answer seemed to confirm it. In a moment of realization, Xu Fan nodded and stopped questioning.

Just then, the portly leader and Director Liu came over together. Looking at Xu Fan, Director Liu said, "Mr. Xu, that song you sang just now was really good."

Not to be outdone, the chubby leader quickly chimed in, "Yes, it almost brought me to tears."

Xu Fan quickly walked over and said, "You two are joking. I hope it's not too bad."

Director Liu said, "We are telling the truth, so we are going to discuss it. This song obviously hasn't been released yet, so I hope everyone will keep it a secret. If this song is performed on the Spring Festival Gala, the effect might be very different."

The chubby leader said, "Yes, this song, both in terms of lyrics and melody, is very suitable for the Spring Festival Gala, so we have this plan and wanted to ask for your opinion."

Xu Fan stared at the two of them, momentarily stunned.

Xue Laiyi and Leng Xiaogu, who were standing next to him, were already stunned. There were many solo performances at the Spring Festival Gala, but Xu Fan already had a song, and he was going to participate in a chorus song. Now, according to the two leaders, he was going to sing another song. This was really unbelievable.

Just then, Director Liu looked at Xu Fan's sister's expression and seemed to have thought of something, so he continued, "Don't worry, the songs you originally selected will still be kept for you, so you will participate in two songs and a duet."

Upon hearing this, Xu Fan shook his head and said, "I don't think the song I chose is worse than 'Where Has the Time Gone'. On the contrary, I think that song is more suitable. If both songs are on the Spring Festival Gala, I don't recommend it, because the program is fixed. If I add a program, it will obviously cancel other people's programs, which is unfair to them."

Just as the fat leader was about to explain something, Xu Fan continued, "For me, participating in the Spring Festival Gala is to make everyone happy. But if I were to take away someone else's spot, I wouldn't be happy at all. Besides, since I'm singing it this way at this time, I'm naturally not afraid of it showing up."

So my suggestion is, since we already have video footage, why not just release it? It might even help promote our Spring Festival Gala this year.”

===Chapter 448 went viral online instantly===

Xu Fan showed no fear in front of Director Liu and the chubby leader. He earnestly explained his thoughts and then added, "A good song doesn't necessarily have to be performed at a gala. I am a singer."

Xu Fan spoke very seriously, and even Xue Laiyi, who was standing next to him, was somewhat moved. After careful consideration, he also said, "Director Liu, I think Xu Fan is right. At this time, it might be more effective to release this song."

After speaking, the fat leader and Director Liu exchanged a glance, and finally nodded and said, "In that case, we'll go with your half, but we can't rush it. We'll arrange the specific release time from here. For now, everyone needs to keep it a secret."

Xu Fan and the other two nodded and smiled at each other.

Perhaps because Xue Laiyi and Leng Xiaogu were standing next to Xu Fan, the fat leader surprisingly asked, "What kind of performance have you two prepared?"

Both Xue Laiyi and Leng Xiaogu were somewhat embarrassed. Xue Laiyi said, "The solo performance was eliminated."

The chubby leader said, "It's really tough dealing with a monster like Xu Fan, and the songs for the Spring Festival Gala have very high requirements for lyrics and music, so keep it up."

Xue Laiyi nodded, and Leng Xiaogu, who was standing next to him, also said a few words, but received a similar reply from the fat man.

Afterwards, the chubby leader left the place accompanied by Director Liu.

Xu Fan shook his head helplessly. Xue Laiyi said from the side, "The chief director chooses the theme of this year's New Year's Eve gala, and the directors of each program choose the specific programs, but some of them are also chosen by the leaders."

Leng Xiaogu said, "I don't understand, but I suddenly feel that we still have hope."

As they spoke, the two of them subconsciously looked at Xu Fan. Xu Fan said, "I also think it's not a big problem, but this skit requires the cooperation of the two of you. After we finish here, we'll go to rehearse."

Xue Laiyi nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you to finish writing the script tonight."

Xu Fan smiled and said, "It's not a big problem."

As the crowd gradually increased, no one paid any attention to Liu Yuanzhou, who had disappeared without a trace.

But it must be said that the scene tonight was truly breathtaking, especially Xu Fan's two songs, which were classics, leaving everyone present envious and shocked.

Xu Fan won applause and congratulations from countless people at the scene with his strength, because those two songs were both classics.

The final program ended, and Xu Fan, Xue Laiyi, and others left the scene together.

After Xue Laiyi left, Leng Xiaogu walked to Xu Fan's side, looked at Xu Fan, and called out, "Xu Fan."

Xu Fan looked at Leng Xiaogu with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

Leng Xiaogu said, "Could you give us a hint about the content of the skit?"

Xu Fan looked at Leng Xiaogu and said, "So impatient?"

Leng Xiaogu was stunned for a moment and then said, "You're the monkey."

"Uh!" Xu Fan shook his head and said, "Everything will be clear once the script is finished by tomorrow. What will you say then?"

Leng Xiaogu said, "My agent is nearby. Thank you. See you tomorrow."

Xu Fan nodded and, without further hesitation, went straight home.

It was getting late, which shows how long the rehearsal had taken.

After Xu Fan returned home, Director Liu and the chubby boss were chatting in a restaurant about when Xu Fan's song "Where Has the Time Gone" would be uploaded to the internet that night.

Beside them, besides the two of them, were several CCTV leaders. At this time, apart from eating, they were exchanging words.

Just then, one of the leaders' cell phones suddenly rang. He picked up a glass of wine and said with a smile, "I'll punish myself with a drink and take this call."

After he finished speaking, he downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, and everyone burst into laughter. The man then quickly answered the phone.

After repeatedly saying "Uh-huh, okay, I understand" on the phone, he hung up, his face almost as black as coal.

The chubby leader frowned and asked, "Xiao Hu, what's wrong with you?"

Director Liu asked in confusion, "Why did your face turn so pale just from answering the phone? What happened?"

The man named Xiao Hu stood up and said, "Director Liu, boss, we're here discussing when to release Xu Fan's song, but it's already been uploaded to the internet and is spreading."

"what?"

The fat leader and Director Liu spoke in unison, standing up simultaneously. Their eyes were filled with disbelief. When did they have the audacity to do such a thing at this time?

It's important to know that everyone involved signed confidentiality agreements, and everything except the information that CCTV.com decided could be disclosed was to be kept secret. Yet, this matter is still under discussion, and it has already been published online. This is truly unbelievable.

Director Liu frowned deeply and roared, "This is outrageous! Who did this? Investigate thoroughly! I refuse to believe that anything confidential from CCTV has ever been leaked before. This is absolutely unprecedented!"

The young man surnamed Hu quickly replied, "Okay, Director Liu, we will find out the specific details as soon as possible."

The fat leader waved his hand and said, "Perhaps it is fate."

Director Liu said angrily, "The problem now is not that this song appeared on the internet, because essentially, no matter the reason, this song has to be uploaded in advance anyway. But the key thing now is that someone actually leaked confidential information, which is really serious. The Spring Festival Gala must be kept completely confidential. I am very worried that there will be problems if this kind of person stays here."

The fat leader nodded and said, "You're right, we have to find out the truth now."

As he spoke, the fat leader put down his chopsticks, no longer wanting to eat.

Director Liu naturally accompanied him, and everyone around him immediately held their breath and watched quietly.

At that moment, a message suddenly appeared on the internet from who-knows-where.

The headline of the news was: "Spring Festival Gala program revealed, Xu Fan's song 'Where Has the Time Gone' brought countless viewers to tears."

This seemingly simple but straightforward question instantly went viral online.

After all, the words "Spring Festival Gala" and "Xu Fan" naturally attract more attention when Xu Fan, a familiar face on Weibo, is mentioned during this Spring Festival season.
