After binding the entertainment system, she made countless top stars

Chapter 683 Just a newcomer

The reporter's question was affirmed by his colleagues.

They all thrust their microphones forward, as if they wanted to poke Chen Yubai's mouth.

As Lu Wantang listened, she felt that the reporter's question was timely.

Not only were the questions they expected Chen Yubai to answer pointed out, but also the suspicious aspects of them were also pointed out.

She looked at Chang Yun, who was wearing another Bluetooth earphone:

"This reporter, were you or Liang Mei really not the one who arranged it?"

"Where are we supposed to find a reporter like this in such a short time?" Chang Yun was speechless. "The Xizhou branch isn't even fully set up yet. Expecting a local Xizhou reporter to cooperate with our act is just a pipe dream."

Lu Wantang was just asking casually.

He didn't connect the reporter with Liang Mei and the others in his mind at all.

In the video, Chen Yubai seemed stumped by the question and remained silent for a long while.

Just when everyone thought he might come up with some excuse, he shut down all the restless reporters with a single sentence:

"That's right, I did choose that song on purpose."

The group holding the microphones were extremely excited.

"Was this something you and the production team discussed beforehand?"

"Did you deliberately choose the wrong song because you didn't want to win?"

"Or did you reach some kind of agreement with the other guests?"

"Do you admit that you deliberately gave up 'first place'?"

……

Every question they posed seemed designed to kick Chen Yubai into a ditch.

Chen Yubai raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling them to be quiet.

"As I just said, I didn't discuss anything with the production team beforehand. I'm just a newcomer who hasn't been in the industry for long. The production team signed a contract with me privately. Aren't they afraid of things going wrong? So this is nonsense!"

"And this gentleman said that I reached an agreement with the guests? I can only tell you that I didn't even meet them before the show started recording! And, let me emphasize again, I'm a newcomer! No matter how much potential I have, I'm still a newcomer!"

A person with only potential value, whose potential has not yet been realized, would not pose a threat to Cleefia and others, let alone reach a private agreement with him.

"In the end, it's not that I don't want to win, nor that I'm going to hand over 'number one' to anyone."

"The title of 'first place' is not something that can be given away. Mr. Louis is ranked first because he is strong enough. People who ask such questions probably haven't watched Mr. Louis's wonderful performance in the third round of the competition. I sincerely recommend that everyone listen to this live version of the song."

"The reason I chose a song in the ancient style is because I have a little selfish reason... I don't know if I will have the opportunity to sing a song in the common language of the planet Blue Star in the later episodes of 'Voice of the West,' so I have to make the most of this opportunity."

“I think the ‘ancient style’ genre can very well represent the cultural heritage of other continents. I want to show this genre of music to all Western audiences and let more people hear and like this kind of music.”

"Before this, I didn't know how receptive the audience in Xizhou was to traditional Chinese style and opera singing. This time, I was feeling my way across the river... Well, the effect might not be as good as I imagined?"

Chen Yubai spoke quite quickly.

After hearing his long speech, the reporters were no longer able to find fault with him.

The intention to promote the cultures of other continents and to exchange ideas with the musical culture of the West is already evident between the lines.

Are they going to say that Chen Yubai was wrong to do this?

Please! The Western Continent has already established connections with other continents, and cultural exchanges are activities strongly supported by various associations. Who gives them the right to question it?

The group looked at each other, exchanged glances for a while, and then someone asked a question:

"So, if you had the chance, would you still sing 'ancient style songs' on the stage of 'Voice of Xizhou'? Even if the result wasn't satisfactory?"

Chen Yubai shook his head: "It doesn't necessarily have to be 'ancient style', but if I have the chance, I will also sing songs in the common language of Blue Star. I hope that people who are used to the common language of Western Continent can develop an interest in learning the common language of Blue Star."

Culture naturally includes the learning and exchange of languages.

The reporters were speechless upon hearing this.

They just wanted to ask some gossip.

As a result, Chen Yubai made it look so official!

How can they continue to make things difficult for us?

That concludes the video.

The reporters should start asking some personal questions now, but Chen Yubai will only answer selectively.

Liang Mei seemed to have noticed that Chang Yun had received the video and assumed that he took the interview seriously, so she thoughtfully summarized which questions Chen Yubai had selectively answered and whether there were any loopholes in his answers.

Chang Yun put away his phone and deliberately lowered his voice: "Xiao Chen performed well. He was very comfortable in front of the reporters and didn't seem like he had memorized a script beforehand."

Lu Wantang hummed in agreement, not denying the other person's excellent qualities, but still said:

"The company's training program has relevant courses, and artists who want to debut will take this course seriously."

"Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Chen's excellent performance is inseparable from the company's training. I never said that the company's training system was bad. Anyone who complained about it in private is definitely ungrateful..."

Chang Yun smiled and nodded, "Next, we just have to wait for this interview to 'take hold'."

Once more and more people see it, no one will mention the song selection mistake anymore.

"We can't wait." Lu Wantang got into the car with Chang Yun and reminded him, "The new drama will be broadcast tomorrow night. Before that, we must increase the publicity efforts."

"I understand. I'll remind the publicity department and public relations team later; they know what to do."

It's not difficult to connect "Guanshan Wine" with martial arts.

Although the lyrics of this song don't actually cover this topic, the melody and style are definitely related to 'wuxia' (martial arts).

As long as Chen Yubai's interview sparks public interest in the song, and someone then subtly mentions "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," discussions about the new drama will naturally follow.

It's likely that Lu Wantang had already considered this point when she gave this ancient-style song to Chen Yubai.

However, to Lu Wantang's surprise, Chen Yubai actually selected this song in the first episode.

On the way back, Lu Wantang scrolled through Weibo for a while.

"Why does the other show seem so quiet? They've only had three or four topics trending so far. Are they preparing something big?"

"I don't know." Chang Yun shook his head. "I'll catch up on their live broadcast later. Maybe something happened during the broadcast?"

"If something were to actually happen, there shouldn't be no trouble at all—"

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Wantang had just released her hand from refreshing the trending topics list when she saw a new headline.

— Qiao Xinyue's fans suspect the show's production team of rigging the plot.
