While Xu Fan was still catching up with Xue Laiyi, a staff member came up and said, "Mr. Xu, the dressing room is ready. This way, please."

Xue Laiyi nodded and said, "It's okay, there's still time. You go put on makeup and change your clothes first, and I'll go change my clothes too. We can talk after that."

Xu Fan didn't want to wear makeup, but seeing the grand scale of the Zhonghai TV station, he guessed that makeup was definitely necessary, so he didn't refuse, nodded, and followed the person.

Zhao Feiyang naturally followed closely behind, except that he didn't need to wear makeup.

Xu Fan and Xue Laiyi hadn't seen each other for a while, though the total time hadn't actually been that long.

But after all, the Spring Festival has been over for a while now.

Upon entering the dressing room, a professional makeup artist quickly applied simple makeup to Xu Fan. However, Xu Fan didn't particularly like it, finding it somewhat troublesome and wasteful.

Some might say that if celebrities didn't need makeup artists, many people would lose their jobs.

However, simple makeup is fine, but some things don't necessarily require a lot of people to serve you.

Whether you're a singer or a celebrity, you're just an ordinary person. You can't be different just because you're a celebrity or a singer.

Of course, everyone has their own choices, and many companies do not allow their artists to go without makeup.

After getting his makeup done, Xu Fan, led by Fatty, changed into his outfit for the evening. Since he was going to sing two songs, he needed to change into two different outfits, but he was only changing into one for now.

After taking care of everything, Xu Fan went to find Xue Laiyi.

The two reminisced and chatted casually, wandering around the TV station.

Xue Laiyi seemed to recall something and suddenly asked, "I heard you wanted to hold a concert?"

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Yes, I do want to hold a global tour concert, and it's already in the planning stages."

At this point, Xu Fan said with great curiosity, "I just don't know if you'll be there, Ah Jin. I sincerely invite you to participate and sing as a guest.

Xue Laiyi laughed and said, "If it's a domestic event, I'm definitely fine, but if it's an international event, I can't do it."

Xu Fan nodded and said, "No problem. If that's the case, then you absolutely mustn't come. I'll let you know once I've confirmed the time. Anyway, the final time shouldn't be far off."

Xue Laiyi nodded and said with a smile, "Why does it sound like you're saying there's going to be more than one concert in China?"

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Based on the current plan, there should be two events held in China."

Xue Laiyi nodded and said, "Okay, just let me know once the time is confirmed."

As for Xue Laiyi's concert, I am willing to attend Xu Xufan's concert anytime, no matter when.

At this moment, Xu Fan asked curiously, "But I remember you were going to have a concert before, how are the preparations going?"

Xue Laiyi shook his head and said, "There are still too few new songs. I plan to create a few decent songs in a while before making any decisions."

Xu Fan nodded, but didn't express any opinion. He couldn't very well just give you an entire album of songs and tell you to go to a concert.

The two chatted casually, and before they knew it, quite some time had passed. The fat man ran over from a distance, laughing, and said, "You guys are here! The party is about to start, we have to go."

Xu Fan and Xue Laiyi exchanged a glance, nodded, and followed the fat man to the party venue.

Looking around, you can see many people on the scene, and everyone's face is filled with a happy smile. After all, this is the Lantern Festival, which only comes once a year.

The atmosphere at the scene was very lively, and there were countless cameras and lights set up around the area.

This gala was clearly very grand.

Just then, a person walked over from not far away, and the fat man quickly approached him and said, "Director Wang, thank you for your hard work."

Director Wang, the deputy director of Zhonghai TV Station, came all the way here specifically to see Xu Fan. Upon seeing Xu Fan, he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Xu is young and promising, truly a man of both talent and good looks."

As he spoke, he didn't forget to praise Xue Laiyi, saying, "Mr. Xue is also a man of great talent and exceptional appearance."

Xu Fan and Xue Laiyi gave an awkward smile and exchanged a few words of greeting. Then, Master Wang suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Oh dear, I'm so excited to see such a promising young man at the memorial tablet that I almost forgot about something important!"

Xue Laiyi asked curiously, "What's the matter, Director Wang?"

===Chapter 559 Guessing Lantern Riddles===

Upon hearing what Director Wang said, both Xu Fan and Xue Laiyi were slightly curious.

Director Wang coughed and said, "Since it's the Lantern Festival, there are some things I need to tell you both in advance when we go up there."

Xu Fan and Xue Laiyi were both very curious. Xu Fan couldn't help but ask, "Is there some other special feature we need to be aware of?"

Director Wang laughed and said, "It's not that scary. I just wanted to tell you that guessing lantern riddles is an essential part of the Lantern Festival. The host on stage will probably give you riddles later."

Xu Fan and Xue Laiyi exchanged a knowing smile, understanding each other's meaning.

At this moment, the host walked onto the stage and began to announce that the evening's program of China Overseas Television had officially begun.

The host began by saying, "Good evening, dear audience members here and those watching on television. This is the Lantern Festival Gala of China Overseas Television. The Lantern Festival has existed since ancient times, and the riddles, in particular, have a long history in our country. So, since we're starting tonight, I'll start by throwing out a riddle for you all to try and guess."

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience erupted in cheers, showing that the atmosphere among the viewers invited by China Overseas TV was very lively.

Zhao Feiyang stood below, looking eager to try, and said with a smile, "I want to see what's so difficult about these riddles. With my intelligence, they should be a piece of cake."

Xue Laiyi, standing nearby, chuckled and said, "Let me tell you one, and you can guess."

Zhao Feiyang was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Go ahead and say it."

Xue Laiyi said, "The moonlight shines through the window on the Lantern Festival. Guess the Chinese character."

Zhao Feiyang was taken aback and asked, "Words?"

Xue Laiyi nodded, while Zhao Feiyang was indeed a bit confused, pondering and muttering, "The Lantern Festival moonlight shines before the window, the Lantern Festival moonlight shines before the window, what kind of words are these?"

Just then, Xu Fan said, "One word."

"One word?" Zhao Feiyang asked in surprise, "Why?"

Xu Fan said, "The moonlight and the window (宀) in the characters '元宵' have been scattered, leaving only the character '一'."

Good heavens, Zhao Feiyang was completely dumbfounded. At this moment, the host on the stage continued, "I will say a riddle, and everyone guesses it. The first person to guess it correctly will receive a carefully selected gift."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with cheers from the audience. At this moment, the host said seriously, "It almost got dark, guess a Chinese character?"

Goodness, as soon as the host finished speaking, the crowd in the West area started discussing among themselves, but no one could come up with the answer. They were all dumbfounded and didn't know what to do.

Xu Fan was slightly taken aback, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

Zhao Feiyang shook his head and complained, "Why are the questions so difficult?"

Xue Laiyi couldn't help but say, "Logically, the first question should be easy, but I have absolutely no idea how to do it. Xiao Fan, do you know why?"

Xu Fan said seriously, "The character 'bird'."

Zhao Feiyang and Xue Laiyi both looked at Xu Fan curiously, and Xu Fan said, “The character ‘差’ means incomplete. The character ‘鸟’ is missing a dot, leaving the character ‘乌’.

Zhao Feiyang still didn't quite understand, but he grasped the general idea. So, seeing that no one answered, he shouted loudly, "I know, it's a bird."

His words silenced the entire room, followed by bursts of laughter. Everyone was incredulous and completely disbelieving.

Just then, the host smiled and said, "Congratulations to this viewer, the answer is correct. Let me explain why. The character '差' (chā) means incomplete or imperfect. The character '鸟' (niǎo) is missing a dot, leaving the character '乌' (wū). Therefore, the correct answer to this question is the character '鸟'."

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience erupted in commotion, realizing that the question was indeed difficult. A cheer followed, and then the host announced, "Alright, tonight's gala is officially starting. Let our young and vibrant dance troupe perform a modern song. Welcome!"

This is the first performance, featuring young dance students who danced with great enthusiasm on stage, making the performance incredibly exciting.

The first program ended quickly, and the second program began.

After the second program ended, Xue Laiyi and Zhao Feiyang both looked at Xu Fan.

At this moment, the host also walked onto the stage and said, "In the past year, we met a genius singer in the summer of last year. He debuted at the peak of his career and attracted countless fans. Every song of his is so classic. I think I don't need to say his name. Everyone should know who he is. Now, let's welcome him with loud voices."

The next second, at the Lantern Festival Gala of China Overseas TV, although there were not tens of thousands of people, there were definitely three or four thousand people. At this moment, they all started shouting in unison.

"Xu Fan!"

"Xu Fan!"

"Xu Fan!"

Obviously, everyone knows who this boy who suddenly appeared last summer is: Xu Fan, who sang "A Person Like Me," the masked boy who once appeared on the internet wearing a mask.

That's the young man who sang several songs on the Spring Festival Gala. He's a popular idol in the hearts of countless young people and a singing god.

For many people, Xu Fan's songs are healing, comforting, and enjoyable.

Therefore, almost everyone present knew that the host was talking about Xu Fan.

Looking at the lively cheers from the crowd, Xue Laiyi couldn't help but exclaim, "This is your current popularity!"

Zhao Feiyang gave Xu Fan a push and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go up."

Xu Fan smiled slightly, nodded, and walked onto the stage. The spotlight immediately shone on Xu Fan, who habitually adjusted his glasses.

The host quickly walked over and said, "Good evening, Brother Fan."

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Good evening, host."

The host said earnestly, "To be honest, I am truly moved and honored to see you tonight, and I believe that all the fans who love your songs here are very happy to have you here."

Xu Fan, holding the microphone, said, "Thank you, thank you."

The host smiled and said, "We all know that every song you write is a classic. I heard that you brought a new song with you to our Zhonghai TV station for this Lantern Festival Gala. Is that true?"

Xu Fan nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, they are indeed two new songs."

Upon hearing this, the audience erupted in uproar.

Xu Fan mentioned not just one song, but two, which drew even more cheers.

The host smiled slightly and said, "That's something to look forward to! May I ask what the first song we'll be performing tonight is? Would you mind giving us a hint?"

Xu Fan said with a smile, "We're about to start singing, of course! The first song is called 'Super Cool'."

===Chapter 560 Super Cool===

When Xu Fan uttered the song title, the host was somewhat bewildered.

In fact, the host had already received the song information, but still seemed surprised and asked in confusion, "So cool?"

Xu Fan smiled slightly and said, "It means doing things is super fun."

After he said that, the whole room erupted in uproar.

The line "Doing things is so much fun" in particular made countless viewers burst into laughter. Even the usually harmless Xu Fan started driving at a leisurely pace.

The host was slightly taken aback, but then "understood" and said with a sudden realization, "Oh, I see. Now, please welcome our superstar Xu Fan to bring us a song called 'Bei'er Shuang' (meaning 'super cool')."
