Chapter 180 The Venomous Old Man
Xia Lili raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Lili quickly found the backstage staff and asked what Bai Qiuyi and Mo Cheng were doing in the program crew and where they were now.
At first, the staff member was very strict in answering Xia Lili's questions and refused to reveal a single word.
Xia Lili could only ask the police officers from Haicheng General Administration to call the program team to inquire.
The answer we got was that in the third episode of "Rising Star Creator", the singers will create and arrange music based on the theme of Chinese traditional style, and Professor Mo was invited to serve as the artistic consultant for the third episode.
Professor Mo came here today to check out the venue and discuss the details of cooperation with the program producers.
"Professor Mo is in the VIP lounge now. He will watch the guest performance later and will leave after the recording of the show is finished."
Xia Lili reported the results of her investigation to Li Qihan: "Could the underground parking lot they are in be the TV station's underground parking lot?"
Li Qihan said firmly: "It is very likely."
"I've arranged an identity for you. Someone will give you a business card later. Just follow the self-introduction I sent you and go find Professor Mo."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Lili looked at the identity information sent by Li Qihan.
Xia Lili, art consultant of Lingfeng Investment Group.
Xia Lili raised her eyebrows. Li Qihan seemed to be very familiar with Lingfeng Investment Group. At the last birthday party for Old Lady Bai, the protective gloves were also given by people from Lingfeng Investment Group.
Not long after, Xia Lili received a call from the delivery guy, and I received the fresh and warm business card at the door of the TV building.
Xia Lili clenched the business card in her hand.
At this time, there were less than fifteen minutes left before the program recording began, and Xia Lili arrived at the studio.
Hearing that Mo Cheng would also watch the recording of this program, Xia Lili decided to be shameless and talk to Mo Cheng.
Xia Lili caught sight of Mo Cheng and Bai Qiuyi entering the studio and followed them closely.
After Mo Cheng and Bai Qiuyi sat down, Xia Lili quickly sat down next to them.
She had already greeted the original owner of the seat and exchanged seats with him.
Mo Cheng had noticed Xia Lili approaching deliberately and frowned.
Bai Qiuyi was also very surprised to see Xia Lili: "You are the little sister who couldn't find the bathroom just now..."
Xia Lili smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's right, it's me."
Xia Lili handed over her business card: "My name is Xia Lili, and I'm the art consultant for Lingfeng Investment Group."
Bai Qiuyi smiled and politely took Xia Lili's business card: "I'm Bai Qiuyi, Professor Mo's student and assistant."
Mo Cheng seemed to be used to seeing people who curry favor with the powerful and build relationships, and subconsciously thought that Xia Lili was one of them, and did not even look at Xia Lili.
Xia Lili didn't even take the business card she handed over.
Xia Lili withdrew her hand in disappointment, thinking to herself that the old man was so arrogant. She was here to help him!
Seeing this, Bai Qiuyi chatted with Xia Lili for a few words to ease the awkwardness: "Your last name is Xia, the same as Xia Xubai's. Are you related?"
"Yes, Xia Xubai is my brother." Xia Lili replied with a sweet smile.
This young lady is so nice!
Mo Cheng snorted coldly at this time: "Are you here to borrow exhibits from me again?"
"Qiu Yi, I told you not to be nice to these people, but they just kept holding on to it."
"No, no, no, I won't lend it to any artist who comes to me to borrow their exhibits!"
Xia Lili was confused. She had heard their conversation in the corridor before and knew that Ling Che, the popular idol who always targeted her brother, had come to Professor Mo to borrow an exhibit. What kind of exhibit was it? Was it for the stage?
At this time, the lights in the studio dimmed.
The performance is about to begin.
Xia Lili stopped talking and remained quiet.
Anyway, she just had to make sure the two people were within her sight and follow them closely.
As the stage performances ended one after another, Xia Lili noticed that Mo Cheng kept shaking his head with a look of dissatisfaction, and from time to time he commented on the songs, costumes, and stage design created by these creators.
"Did this singer just have his wisdom teeth removed? His pronunciation is even more slurred than my golden retriever chewing a bone."
"Did they spend the entire stage budget on fog machines? The fog was so thick I thought they were all immortal."
…
Xia Lili sat aside and listened to the old man's mutterings, thinking that he was worthy of being an art connoisseur, with a very sharp tongue.
When it was Xia Xubai's turn to take the stage, Mo Cheng's sharp tongue kicked into high gear. He crossed his legs, tapping his fingers impatiently on the armrest of his chair. "Tsk, what a waste! You're so handsome! Did you dress like a street thug?" He squinted at the stage. "Just because you dyed your hair blond, you think you're a rock star? Your eyes are vacant, like you're still half asleep..."
"Why are you walking so slowly, like a sloth?"
Mo Cheng continued to complain, not noticing Bai Qiuyi's hesitant expression beside him.
"Professor Mo," Bai Qiuyi finally couldn't help but interrupt softly, "This singer is visually impaired and can't see."
Mo Cheng's complaints came to an abrupt halt, his index finger tapping the armrest frozen in mid-air. He opened his mouth, only to let out an awkward cough.
"That's quite inspiring."
Xia Lili caught a glimpse of his ears turning slightly red, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
Professor Mo must be regretting his words so much right now that he might even slap himself in the face when he thinks about what he said while lying in bed in the middle of the night.
The lights in the studio's auditorium went out, leaving only a ceiling light on the stage that shone on Xia Xubai.
Xia Lili heard people in the audience around her whispering.
"Xia Xubai is going to perform! He looks so handsome in this cool style!"
"As long as he doesn't stand still on the stage tonight, even if he just moves a few times, and his song isn't too bad, I will vote for him!"
"Can a blind person dance? He's lucky to be able to stand steadily."
"Xia Xubai, who has always been known for his lyrical style, is creating a fast-paced song this time. I wonder what it will be like?"
…
Xia Lili listened to the discussions and looked up at Xia Xubai on the stage.
When the dynamic electronic drum beats suddenly exploded, the audience in the entire venue looked up at once, and their blood began to boil with the amazing drum beat arrangement.
In the center of the stage, Xia Xubai turned neatly to the beat of the drums. His long legs wrapped in black overalls drew a sharp arc, and his Martin boots stepped heavily on the stage floor, shaking the lights under his feet.
He held the microphone with his slender fingers, singing and dancing, his breathing was very steady, his dance moves were handsome and compelling, and the silver chain around his neck flew with his movements, drawing a meteor-like trajectory under the spotlight.
"Holy crap! Is this really Xia Xubai?!"
There was a burst of exclamations from the audience.
No one expected that Xia Xubai, who has always had a gentle and lyrical style, seemed like a different person at this moment - every key point was as precise as mechanical calibration, and he was no less than a professional singing and dancing idol.
