Night fell, around 7:50 p.m.
Chen Feng had everything prepared at the hotel; he was going to have a big one tonight.
At this moment, many people on the internet had already gathered under Chen Feng's account, waiting for the broadcast to start at eight o'clock.
Traffic on major platforms is rapidly decreasing and flowing into Douyin and LeTV.
Tainan's top singer, Lee Tsung-sheng, tagged Chen Feng on Douyin and said, "I'm really looking forward to Chen Feng's new song tonight."
This caused Chen Feng's popularity to skyrocket once again. It's unbelievable that an ordinary person like him now has more online traffic than the most famous A-list actresses in China.
"My God! The music industry's king, Teacher Li, has personally stepped in. This means that Teacher Li highly approves of Chen Feng."
"Upstairs, you don't know this, do you? Teacher Li himself said on his Weibo that even he couldn't have created Chen Feng's songs 'Classmate' and 'To Youth'."
"What does Teacher Li's evaluation mean? Didn't you see what the Huamin Daily said? The Huamin Daily praised Chen Feng's songs for finding a new direction for the declining Chinese music scene, calling them a milestone."
However, gradually, some sharp-eyed netizens noticed that online comments began to become polarized, and that there were more and more malicious actors.
"He's just an ordinary person, does he really think he's so great? I listened to that song, what garbage it is, and it takes up so many network resources. I suggest the government take action and ban this person."
"Well, I heard that Chen Feng went to Huayu Entertainment to sign a contract today, and guess what? They told him to get lost. According to Huayu Entertainment, this guy's private life is extremely immoral."
"Go on upstairs and tell me more. I'm just a loser, and I love listening to gossip."
"You haven't heard that Chen Feng's two songs weren't actually written by him, but were guided by a master behind the scenes, I think it was some international superstar."
Just as the online sentiment began to shift, an official account of Huayu Entertainment posted a message.
"The reason why we at Huayu have come this far is because we focus on cultivating new talent. As everyone knows, Huayu has become the largest entertainment company in the industry, thanks to the cultivation and discovery of new talent."
"However, Huayu also has its own bottom line and conscience. We will never easily sign those amateurs who become famous by means of tricks and have poor character. Some people should not think that they can do whatever they want just because they become famous on the Internet with one or two songs."
This is already quite obvious; it points directly to Chen Feng.
But why would an ordinary person provoke such hostility from Huayu Entertainment? This has left many netizens puzzled.
At that moment, at a hotel in Chengdu-Chongqing, the agent, with an unpleasant expression, handed the Huayu Entertainment statement to Li Zongsheng.
"Given Huayu's stance, if we continue to support Chen Feng, will it affect his upcoming concert?"
After reading the statement, Li Zongsheng looked somewhat angry. Others might not know the reason, but Li Zongsheng knew it very well.
Having spent decades in the entertainment industry and become a dominant figure in the music scene, he immediately thought of Lin Yun and the person behind him.
"The reason why the Chinese music scene is declining is because a group of people control huge resources and act recklessly."
He angrily smashed the cup and then turned on the computer.
Chen Feng's two songs not only had a profound impact on him, but also opened a new door to the Chinese-speaking world for him. He has high hopes for this young man.
Most importantly, this guy borrowed another million from him today. What will happen to his money if he gets messed up by Huayu? Of course, this was just a joking thought.
He's going to go head-to-head with Huayu online; after all, his territory is in Tainan, so what's there to be afraid of?
He typed away rapidly and left a comment directly under the official Huayu account.
"Is this really a good idea? It doesn't seem worth it to completely offend China's largest entertainment company for the sake of an ordinary person."
The agent was somewhat puzzled and wanted to offer some advice to Lee Jong-sung.
Li Zongsheng, however, looked determined and said, "Believe me, this young man will definitely be extraordinary in the future. I may need his help in many ways in the future."
After he finished speaking, he typed the message and sent it without hesitation.
"You have to have evidence to back up your claims. I know Chen Feng quite well; saying he's morally flawed is utter nonsense!"
Li Zongsheng's comment instantly ignited a frenzy among onlookers.
Many netizens stopped following the gossip and directly joined the online flame war.
"Has Teacher Li gotten involved? Is he going to directly challenge Huayu Entertainment for supporting ordinary people?"
"We're all birds of a feather! I don't think you're any better. You call yourself the 'King of Tainan'? Bah!"
"Holy crap! The person upstairs is awesome, daring to even insult Teacher Li, aren't they afraid someone will trace them down through the internet?"
"I'm on Huayu's side this time. After all, such a big company wouldn't fabricate something out of thin air."
"What the hell are you standing on? I remember you saying just a minute ago your whole family was moved to tears by your deskmate's singing, and now this?"
Chen Feng was unaware that a fierce battle had already broken out online before he even started broadcasting.
As a result, with the support of Huayu and Li Zongsheng, the internet's interest in Chen Feng has soared to a level comparable to the Spring Festival Gala.
Many people who never pay attention to the music scene or even listen to music are attracted by the overwhelming headlines on social media and unconsciously start to pay attention.
"This Li Zongsheng is really shameless. Does he really think he's something special just because he's some kind of overlord?"
Lin Yun's face was grim; he was furious as he watched as a large number of netizens turned against him because Li Zongsheng had supported Chen Feng.
Meanwhile, at Huayu headquarters, Wang Haiwen's hands were trembling slightly; he felt that this was a big deal.
Yang Zhi, the music director of Huayu Entertainment, also looked grim in his office and immediately took out his phone to call Li Zongsheng's agent.
"Teacher Li, is it necessary for you to publicly offend Huayu Entertainment online for the sake of an ordinary person?"
"I'm just stating the facts. Don't you know the specifics? Since you say he's just an ordinary person, then why are you, as the largest entertainment company in China, targeting an ordinary person?"
Li Zongsheng retorted without holding back.
"This is Huayu's private matter, it has nothing to do with you, right?"
"Heh, as a music director, you really have double standards. Just you wait, not signing Chen Feng will be the biggest mistake of your life."
Li Zongsheng no longer bothered to argue with Yang Zhi.
"Haha! You mean I'll regret it? Why, just because his two songs became hits?"
"Do you really think he can produce ten new songs of equal quality during his live stream tonight? That's just him trying to promote himself. Ten original songs? That's a joke," Yang Zhi said with a sneer.
"I don't know if he can come up with ten new songs, but you'll definitely regret it. I'll hang up now."
Li Zongsheng showed no respect for Yang Zhi and hung up the phone immediately.
