After having lunch with Zhang Xinyang and several deputy directors, Fang Yang returned to the hotel. In fact, Zhang Xinyang had a lot to do today. As the organizer of the Chinese Golden Melody Awards, Yangcheng TV has a lot of things to do. Although Zhang Xinyang doesn't have to do everything himself, his subordinates often come to ask for instructions, so he is busy even when he is not busy!

At 6:30 p.m., Fang Yang and Zheng Xiuli appeared in the hotel lobby after eating something and washing up. Behind them, Zhu Laosan and others were also dressed in formal attire. The annual Chinese Golden Melody Awards have a far-reaching influence. Not only mainland singers, but also many singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan attended. It is a true music extravaganza in the Chinese-speaking world!

The hall was packed with people, some acquaintances and some strangers, exchanging a few words occasionally, but most were talking to their female companions. There weren't many superstars, probably because important figures always arrive last, and perhaps their identities hadn't been revealed yet.

A limousine was already waiting at the hotel entrance. The guides led the two people into the vehicle. Fang Yang glanced at them but didn't recognize them at all. He asked Zheng Xiuli beside him, "Who are those two? I don't remember them at all."

Zheng Xiuli also noticed the two, saying, "I don't think I know them either. Anyway, I've never seen these two people in all the appearances and variety shows I've done."

Zhu Laosan, standing nearby, leaned over and reminded them, "There's nothing strange about this. Most likely, they're just people who paid for a spot to walk the red carpet. It's not unusual; there should be a few more. Even the Gona Film Festival has people buying spots now. Isn't it more convenient to do it domestically?"

Fang Yang had heard about this, but he never expected to experience it firsthand. However, since the other party was willing to pay for it and the organizer was willing to sell it, there was nothing more to say. As the saying goes, existence is its own justification. Whether it is useful or not, only the party who paid for it knows.

People were coming and going in the hall. Soon, Zhu Laosan and the others left by car, but Fang Yang and Zheng Xiuli still hadn't been guided by anyone. They were getting a little impatient and their expressions were somewhat irritable.

Seeing this, Zheng Xiuli advised, "Be patient. There are so many people, it takes time. At award ceremonies like this, many seniors will come to show their support, so the number of people will be even greater."

Fang Yang sighed and found a quiet corner to sit down. Zheng Xiuli sat down next to him like a lady. "President Fang, are you feeling very excited?"

Fang Yang lifted his eyelids slightly. "What's there to be excited about?"

"So many superstars will be there later. It's a rare treat to see them all. It's a shame I can't bring an autograph book in, otherwise I would definitely get all of them to sign a whole book for me. I can brag about it wherever I go!"

"You're supposed to be a second-tier celebrity, can't you at least have some self-respect?"

Zheng Xiuli stuck out her tongue. "I forgot. Besides, they are all people I have looked up to all these years. It's rare to see them, so I'm especially excited!"

Fang Yang couldn't help but cover his face. This was the aftereffect of becoming famous too quickly. He hadn't even adjusted to his new role yet, and he was still thinking about his past fangirling days. What a mess!

Another ten minutes or so passed, and only a few top singers remained in the hall. Fang Yang and Zheng Xiuli sat in a corner, enjoying a rare moment of peace and quiet since no one recognized them. Finally, someone came to guide the two to their car!

The remaining top-tier singers were also confused, asking, "Who were those two people? Does anyone know them?"

Everyone shook their heads, but finally one person recalled, "I think I vaguely remember that girl. She's from Yuewen Entertainment Media, and her name is something like Zheng."

"From Yuewen Entertainment Media, that must be Zheng Xiuli, right?"

"Yes, yes, it's Zheng Xiuli. I was on a variety show with her once."

"Oh, it's her. Then, could the one next to her be Fang Yang?"

"Hiss, that's quite possible. The age matches up, and it's not unusual for Fang Yang to be here in this situation!"

As they chatted, they watched Fang Yang's departing figure in his car and regretted not getting to know him better. They had been in the same hall for so long; they should have gone over and gotten to know each other. Maybe they could have even become friends. Then, wouldn't it be easy to ask him for a song next time?

The superstars upstairs began to come down one after another, and the few remaining celebrities in the lobby also left by car. At this moment, the stadium was at its liveliest!

The area around the red carpet was packed with fans, screams rising and falling. Every singer who walked the red carpet drew huge cheers from the fans, and the cheers became louder and louder as they went on. It was amidst these cheers that Fang Yang walked the red carpet with Zheng Xiuli.

At this moment, the host Zhang Qirui shouted at the top of his lungs, "Dear viewers, friends in the live broadcast room, and fans in the audience, now walking onto the red carpet is Mr. Fang Yang, Chairman of Yuewen Entertainment Media Group, together with Ms. Zheng Xiuli, a singer under their group! They are walking onto the red carpet!"

Amidst the screams and shouts of the fans, Zhang Qirui exclaimed, "Wow, Mr. Fang is truly a young and accomplished man, and also the most mysterious of all the singers. He doesn't appear on variety shows, on television, or do promotional appearances, and he doesn't organize a fan club. Most of you here are probably seeing Mr. Fang for the first time!"

"Haha, I'm meeting him for the first time too, just like you guys. If I hadn't been reminded backstage, I would still be completely clueless! Such a handsome young man, yet he never tries to steal the spotlight. This is the first time I've ever seen anyone like him. Ladies here, and ladies watching on TV and in the live broadcast room, are you smitten?"

"To be honest, I'm also very tempted. Although I'm a grown man, I can become sworn brothers with him! This is the kind of young man that everyone loves, flowers bloom for him, and cars gravitate towards him, yet he's content to stay behind the scenes and write a series of blockbuster novels, which have then been adapted into TV series like 'Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty' and 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes.' Just a few days ago, 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' swept a series of awards, including Best TV Series, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress, becoming the biggest dark horse in the TV series industry in the past two years!"

"Of course, as a rising star in the music industry, Mr. Fang has produced many classic works and nurtured many young singers in the company, especially Ms. Zheng Xiuli, who is now standing next to Mr. Fang. She debuted with the song 'When Will the Moon Be Bright,' which was her peak performance and established her position in the Chinese music scene."

"In addition, Mr. Fang himself has sung many classic songs, and at the beginning of the year, he even released a phenomenal album that sold over 100 million copies in just one week! Although Mr. Fang has devoted more time and energy to film and television this year, we believe that he will never forget his fans. He will definitely create more classic songs to give back to his fans!"

As Fang Yang and Zheng Xiuli were about to walk off the red carpet, and the cheers from the fans grew even more enthusiastic, Zhang Qirui dropped a bombshell: "I'll let you in on a little secret, tonight at the awards ceremony, Mr. Fang will be singing a new song. Are you excited? If so, don't miss it! Tune in to the Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony tonight, it's an unmissable spectacle!"
