For Helian Bei, performing on the Spring Festival Gala is a daily routine for him. It is a team-building activity that takes place almost every year.
But sometimes he would refuse this activity and would rather stay at home and have a good rest.
At this moment, Helian Bei stretched lazily, and the staff next to him were looking at him with a kind look.
"Teacher, your performance tonight will definitely be wonderful!" The staff member was probably a fan of Helian Bei. When he mentioned this, his eyes were shining and he looked quite expectant.
"Yeah," Helian Bei nodded and joked, "This is a song that President Zhou carefully selected for me. It must be wonderful. We still have to believe in President Zhou's ability."
At this time, he leaned to the side, his eyes passing through a small door at the entrance of the passage and falling on the several newcomers who were performing on the stage.
"They seem to be working very hard!" Helian Bei said softly, folding his hands.
"Of course," the staff member nodded, then hesitated for a moment before continuing, "But there's a problem. Their performance is actually quite innovative and the effect is quite good. But the audience doesn't seem to be excited at all."
Helian Bei nodded. He had actually noticed this a long time ago.
The audience is actually still somewhat indifferent. They tend not to invest too much passion in lesser-known artists unless they can put on a shocking performance.
It’s a pity that most people can’t do it. What people are discussing on the Internet right now is still Lin Xuaner’s song "Say I Love You", even though this song has been released a long time ago.
Obviously, it is quite difficult for the current Spring Festival Gala to make a completely unknown person famous.
Helian Bei cleared his throat and stood up: "Looks like I'll be on stage soon."
At this time, the staff immediately waved their fists excitedly and shouted behind Helian Bei:
"Come on, teacher! We loved your performance so much! You're the best!"
Helian Bei immediately laughed after hearing what the staff said. He turned around and looked at them, then waved his hand.
"Thank you. I will."
At this moment, a few newcomers who had just finished their performance happened to see this scene.
They didn't feel the psychological gap between each other's treatment, but instead looked at Helian Bei with admiration:
"Teacher Helian Bei, I'm your fan, you have to keep working hard!"
The person next to him coughed and said, "That's Helian Bei. He's just like drinking water when he goes on the Spring Festival Gala. He doesn't need us to cheer him up!"
"Oh, I'm so envious of him! He and Moonlight Girl, they became huge hits the first time they performed on the Spring Festival Gala! Overnight, people all over the country knew them."
"Unfortunately, it's all too difficult for us. We're on the Spring Festival Gala, but it feels like there's no discussion at all. It's a complete waste of time."
"Oh, I used to really believe what some marketing accounts said, saying that Moonlight Girls' success was only because they seized the opportunity, as if they had completely erased their abilities."
"Looking at it now, even if I give you the chance to become Moonlight Girl, the average person won't be able to grasp it. It's too difficult!"
At this time, deafening cheers came from outside the aisle, and even some older audience members sitting in the front row became excited.
That kind of cheering really reminded people of Helian Bei’s concert.
Wang Xingrui covered her mouth and exclaimed, "As expected of Brother Bei! His popularity and national recognition are truly terrifying. When I watched the previous performance, the audience members sitting in the front row were smiling slightly the whole time, and seemed particularly reserved. But when Brother Bei came on stage, even these audience members became excited. It's amazing."
Su Yin hummed and said softly, "Of course, Brother Bei is not an ordinary person. He has been famous for decades, and he debuted even earlier than we are. After working in the entertainment industry for so long, Brother Bei must have a large audience base."
"Indeed," Lin Xuan'er said, having recovered from her performance and looking much more sober. "So let's not get carried away and think we're the bosses of the entertainment industry. We still have a long way to go!"
"As expected of you, Xuan'er," Tang Yue covered her mouth and chuckled. "Even at this time, you can still offer us value. But this time, I think you're absolutely right. We must be humble. After all, I don't want people to bring up our past when we're no longer popular."
At this moment, the four of them stopped talking, and like most of the fans, they looked at the stage expectantly.
However, before Helian Bei's official performance, the focus of online discussions was still Lin Xuaner.
"Brother Yang," Bai Yangyu touched his face and said softly, "You certainly didn't expect that even at this time, the topic of discussion online is still about Lin Xuan'er."
Zhou Yiyang raised his eyebrows, and it was obvious that he was surprised:
"Really? This netizen is quite idle. I remember Xuan'er's show was over a long time ago. Could it be that they haven't gotten over it yet?"
"I can't help it," Bai Yangyu shrugged, a look that said, "I'm sorry I've made you famous." "Xuan'er is incredibly popular. And her song is really interesting. This is probably the first time such a sweet love song has been performed on the Spring Festival Gala stage. Not to mention, your dance routines to this song have been incredibly popular on short video platforms. I see several top influencers vying to imitate her."
Zhou Yiyang hummed, then looked at Bai Yangyu beside him with a bit of surprise:
"But if it's this kind of discussion, you wouldn't need to mention it to me specifically, right?"
"That's for sure." Bai Yangyu paused, then continued, "Some people have come out and said that Lin Xuan'er's song is an obvious male-appeal song, objectifying women. They also said that all her dancing, and even her outfit on stage, is skirting the line."
At first, Zhou Yiyang was still wondering how outrageous the matter could be that could make Bai Yangyu come over and tell him this.
As a result, after hearing what Bai Yangyu said, Zhou Yiyang was really dumbfounded.
This was even more bizarre than the most outrageous result he had expected.
At this moment, he raised his head and glanced at Bai Yangyu who was sitting opposite him:
"Find the source of these rumors. They're using this kind of thing to spread rumors and create this kind of rhythm. Do some people think Yiyang Entertainment's PR department is incompetent?"
