Chapter 58 A historic moment in the entertainment industry
When Shangguan Xu saw the police appear, his face turned pale in an instant.
He wanted to leave the stage immediately, but when he saw that he was surrounded by fans, he didn't know where to escape.
A passerby in the live broadcast room saw the police walking towards the stage and felt that something was wrong.
I have to say, Xia Xubai's singing skills are far superior to Shangguan Xu's, and he looks even better on TV than in the short video. It would be unjust if he didn't make his debut. He performed well and didn't disrupt public order.
Xia Xubai must be an amateur guest invited by the program team. He didn't do anything illegal. Why would the police arrest him?
Shangguan Xu's fans were already furious at Xia Xubai's counterattack and angrily criticized netizens:
If the police don't arrest Xia Xubai, the plagiarist, are they going to arrest our top star, Brother Xu?
The next second, in the live broadcast screen.
Three police officers walked onto the stage, and the leader, Xiao Luo, presented an arrest warrant.
"Shangguan Xu, you are suspected of manslaughter. Come with us!"
Xiao Luo speaks in a clear and loud voice.
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone went crazy! They couldn't believe their ears!
Shangguan Xu, murder?!
There was a moment of silence in the live broadcast room, and then the barrage of comments and comments flooded onto the screen like a flood:
[Oh my god, this is too unreal! Is this a top celebrity a murderer?]
[Isn't this really a show? Shangguan Xu's outfit today looks like a prison uniform. Holy crap.]
[I'm stunned. I still haven't digested this shocking fact.]
The audiences who were watching "Sing with You" forwarded the link to the live broadcast room one after another. The popularity of the "Sing with You" live broadcast room soared, and the number of online viewers has exceeded five million!
They were all pulled here by their friends and family to watch the show online!
With a crisp "click", the police's silver handcuffs were already on Shangguan Xu's hands, also announcing the end of the top idol Shangguan Xu's acting career.
Even more damaging was the stage billboard behind Shangguan Xu that featured the slogan for Shengtang Group's skincare brand: "Securely locks in moisture for 24-hour reliable nourishment."
Probably because they knew that the popularity of the program was starting to surge, the program director specially included shots of the billboard.
The show was a hit, with passersby commenting: "This time it's really locked up, it can be locked for 24 hours!"
[That's right, murderers will be in jail 24 hours a day from now on! ]
[Fuck! I'm laughing so hard! Shangguan Xu's prison-colored costume and stage sign are so fitting for the occasion!]
The stage fell into an eerie silence, and then erupted into a deafening roar.
The fans clutched their cheering banners tightly, their knuckles turning white, some looked bewildered and some were puzzled.
Passersby and even staff were shocked at this moment and did not forget to take photos and videos and post them on WeChat Moments to record this "historic" moment.
"Impossible!" A girl wearing a cheering headband suddenly screamed hysterically, "Brother Xu was framed!"
This roar was like opening the floodgates, and more frantic voices of doubt came from all directions:
"Did they arrest the wrong person?"
"Have you been bribed by Xia Xubai?"
Passersby in the live broadcast room heard the fans' questions and found them ridiculous:
[No, the police have already produced the arrest warrant from the Procuratorate. This isn't just a summons, it's solid evidence!]
[Outrageous! Shangguan Xu's fans are crazy. It seems their average IQ isn't that high.]
[Today's funniest joke happened: a blind man whose salary was withheld bribed the police to arrest top star Shangguan Xu.]
Shangguan Xu's face turned from pale to blue, his carefully styled hair matted to his forehead with cold sweat. When the police officer restrained his arms, he suddenly leaped up and lunged towards the other end of the stage like a trapped animal: "Xia Xubai!"
These three words were squeezed out from between his teeth, wrapped in poisonous hatred, "That day in the hotel...you heard everything, didn't you?"
"You and the police report me!"
He stopped pretending to be pitiful and tore off his disguise, his eyes gleaming with ferocity: "If I had known this would happen, I would have had someone run you over with a car!"
There was an uproar at the scene and the entire Internet was in an uproar!
The girl in the front row holding the light sign trembled, and her expensive support item tumbled to the ground with a thud. The close-up on the big screen showed the once gentle idol's distorted face, causing countless people to gasp.
The fans never expected that the brother they supported would show such an expression, and they were all shocked.
On the stage, Xia Xubai held the microphone and watched coldly as Shangguan Xu was taken into the police car under the guidance of his headphones.
The spotlights in the stage dome suddenly lit up. Xia Xubai stood alone in the center of the beam, his slender fingers gently stroking the microphone. "Mr. Shangguan Xu, you stole my 'Letter from Kirishima' and then turned the tables on me. It must be fun to play the victim, right?"
His voice was like ice, "But..."
"It's time for the actors to leave."
At the same time, the door of the police car was slammed shut, and Shangguan Xu drove away.
“And original music never ends.”
Following the prompts from his headphones, Xia Xubai turned and walked towards the piano placed in a corner of the stage.
Tang Mingqian, president of Shengtang Group, specially asked the director to arrange a special stage for Xia Xubai. Recently, "Letter from Kirishima" has been so popular, and Xia Xubai has not officially appeared in front of the camera since his popularity, and today is the best opportunity.
The director also played the prelude of "Letter from Kirishima" at the appropriate time.
Xia Xubai sat on the piano bench, his fingertips flying deftly across the black and white keys.
This familiar prelude surprised many netizens, and the host also announced: "Next, please welcome singer Xia Xubai to perform an original song that he wrote, composed, and arranged."
"'Letter from Kirishima'."
Hearing this familiar song title, many netizens who didn't know the original author were shocked.
This song is really popular! It turns out it was written by this guy! He's so handsome and talented, absolutely amazing.
[Wow, even though he's blind, he plays the piano so well. It's hard to imagine he must have put in so much more effort than an average person.]
I know him. The whole internet was saying he plagiarized, but now the truth has been revealed. I don't know how this handsome amateur has been able to get through these days. It's so heartbreaking!
The moment Xia Xubai's singing voice filled the air, the whole audience fell silent.
[Migratory birds fly past the afterglow of the signal tower]——
His voice was clear and restrained, with the ending tone sinking slightly, like a feather brushing against the Eiffel Tower in the twilight, with a hint of desolate poetry.
[I count the days and wait for a sunny day]
The emotions progressed just right, and the audience seemed to be able to see the signal tower standing alone in the sea of fog, the faint light piercing the damp and cloudy sky, and someone standing on the shore, silently counting the days of return that were forever delayed.
Xia Xubai's singing is not just a display of skills, but a painting with sound - every line of lyrics casts a damp foggy island silhouette in the minds of the audience.
Many of Shangguan Xu’s fans at the scene were crying and wanted to leave, but they stopped involuntarily when they heard the song.
When these fans realized that they were actually attracted by Xia Xubai's singing, they were angry and annoyed.
