Chapter 496: Chapter 326: The First Year of the Doctorate_2

Host: "However, everyone might not know that Xiao Xian is still purely a newcomer. Today can be said to be the debut appearance of his first show."

Duan Xian: "Please take good care of me!"

Host: "Hehe! Although Xiao Xian is a newcomer, he is very talented. Apart from singing, it seems he has also acted in a movie?"

Duan Xian: "Yes, I recently got a movie script. It’s ’Pegasus’ starring Mr. Hao Teng. I’m very lucky to have the opportunity to share the stage with Mr. Hao Teng.

But I’m just a small extra, purely there to learn from the teachers.

Although I can’t compare with actors like Dr. Zhai, I still hope everyone will look forward to it!"

Host: "Wow! A new movie starring Mr. Hao Teng? The box office will definitely be good. I’m already impatient."

Dr. Zhai, across from him, seriously looked at Duan Xian, who was sharing the stage with him today, for the first time, and couldn’t help but frown.

Before coming, his assistant had of course shown him the materials of his co-guests and he had also listened to ’Misaligned Space-Time’, which has been very popular recently. Indeed, it’s not bad.

But the other party is an unknown newcomer, so he didn’t take it too seriously.

However... where’s the supporting role I was promised?

He’s even more handsome than me! Do the staff not want to work anymore?

And what’s with the host?

Doesn’t she know that I’m today’s lead? Why does the other side have more topics than me? What the heck?

So I’m not fit for the Appearance Association?

Host: "Speaking of which, Dr. Zhai is an actor skilled in film, television, and music. He has acted in many movies and has even taught many top stars.

As a senior and mentor, he must have a lot of insights and experience to pass on to new actors like Xiao Xian."

Duan Xian: "Speaking of which, I’m also a fan of Dr. Zhai. More than those, I actually want an autograph."

He hadn’t forgotten about a product placement he had to mention, so he naturally wanted to get closer to the somewhat cold-looking superstar first.

Host: "Hahaha! Dr. Zhai, can I get an autograph too?"

Dr. Zhai: "Hehe! Of course, you can. As for insights and experience in the performing arts, actually, filming movies is something that really tests one’s talent.

Some people get it instantly, even teaching themselves, while others never do no matter how hard they try.

I’ve also listened to Xiao Xian’s ’Misaligned Space-Time’. It’s really not bad!

By the way, before entering the circle, wasn’t Xiao Xian working as a real estate consultant? What made him want to change careers?"

The director and the host were both stunned.

This question wasn’t in the script at all?

"What? A real estate consultant turned singer, and now he wants to cross over into acting, singing, and everything else—is nothing off-limits now?"

"Pfft! The singer of ’Misaligned Space-Time’ was a real estate consultant?"

"This? To be on the same show as my Dr. Zhai?"

"What’s wrong with being a real estate consultant? The fact is, steel and concrete don’t clash with romance and melancholy!"

"Yo bro, tell us about the property. No special reason, just want to go feel the evening breeze..."

"..."

The website comments were once again a flurry of teasing.

Song Bin’s face changed.

Duan Xian’s previous profession was his weak spot, which was not supposed to be revealed in such a setting.

This Dr. Zhai doesn’t fight fair!

However, Mr. Duan didn’t notice everyone’s expressions, nor could he see the online comments. He just thought it was a common question similar to "why switch careers?"

Still somewhat naive about the entertainment industry ecosystem, he was quite candid about his own profession.

"Hehe! Actually, the reason I changed careers is quite simple.

At first, when selling houses, it was all about helping everyone achieve a stable and happy life, with constantly increasing assets, so that everyone had a home to return to, a house to live in, and someone to love...

But later, I discovered that I couldn’t even help myself.

So I could only sing a song to give a little comfort to myself and to everyone else as well."

Everyone: "..."

"Pfft! That reason is priceless!"

"Hey, hey! I don’t feel comforted at all, okay!"

"At least it shows they’re a wise person."

"Yeah! How many joys can a property consultant experience in a lifetime, and how many celebrities go after the freedom to buy houses? There’s nothing wrong with that!"

"Could it be... waking up as if from a dream, empty-handed and with an empty heart... is that what it means?"

"Huh? The wind that blew through the houses I’ve touted, does that mean I’ve embraced the houses?"

"Have you ever seen the same landscape, like the jet lag that lingers in Misaligned Space-Time, empty in the end, just empty..."

"Countless stars bearing witness to wishes made, when none come true, who’s there to soothe the heartache,

at the crossroads, the traffic light keeps flashing incessantly, there’s someone, clearly weighed down with heavy thoughts.

Three words, you can only say to yourself... can’t afford it?"

"Damn! Stop it! At this rate, this song could become the anthem for the Real Estate Industry Association..."

"Hilarious! I thought this was a Love Song meant for the brokenhearted, who knew it was actually a self-comforting song for those house-hunting?"

"Please! Give me back the feelings I had when I listened to this song!!"

The barrage of comments flooded the screen!

Host: "Hahaha! Xiao Xian, you’re absolutely hilarious!"

The director and Song Bin also heaved a great sigh of relief.

They managed to avoid a performance disaster.

In their eyes, Duan Xian had used his humor to diffuse the awkwardness.

Although the person in question was utterly unaware...

Dr. Zhai tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Hehe! With Xiao Xian’s eloquence, he must have had impressive sales in the past. Saying he’s comforting himself is surely modesty. By the way, which film academy did you graduate from?"

Song Bin’s face turned even darker.

Well done, knowing full well that Duan Xian came from a different path, now asking which film academy he graduated from?

This was attacking his profession after the personal attack was over!

However, Mr. Duan was secretly thrilled.

He had been worrying about how to incorporate advertisements, and now an opportunity had presented itself.

"I’ve never been to a film academy. I graduated from the Chinese department, just a third-rate subject at a third-rate school.

Unlike you, Dr. Zhai, I’ve been academically challenged since I was young.

I remember at graduation, I needed my senior sisters to stay up late and help me sift through Spider Web, it made my head hurt so much!

Yes! That Spider Web!

Ever since then, just seeing a spiderweb gives me a headache."

Mr. Duan was certainly a loyal person, worried that his brother could not explain himself to the sponsors, he repeated the important things three times!

Unexpectedly, Dr. Zhai on the other side responded with a completely bewildered statement.

"Spider Web? What is Spider Web?"

Duan Xian: "..."

People on site: "..."

Netizens: "..."

No one could have imagined that a run-of-the-mill live broadcast with just tens of thousands of viewers could have such a dramatic effect.

Today marked a significant advancement in Dr. Zhai’s academic understanding.

And for many people, a significant regression in their faith in life...

Historians call it... the Year of the Doctor!
