348: Chapter 323 Something Unexpected Happened 348: Chapter 323 Something Unexpected Happened The lights suddenly went dark at the venue, and two beams of light shone on the award presenters as they entered the stage, both dressed in formal attire and walked to the center of the stage.

“Hello everyone!”

“Good evening, friends!”

After both of them had greeted the audience separately, Tao Ju’an asked Ye Hongwei, “Hongwei, who’s your favorite female singer?”

“Do I even need to say it?

Of course, it’s you!” Ye Hongwei joked, and a friendly laughter followed from the audience below.

“Thank you!

But honestly, I’m old news now.

The music scene is teeming with new talents!

Speaking of the current

Chapter 224: Saving the Show

Chai Rong, upon hearing Liu Hun’s words, clung to them like a lifeline and quickly handed over the control of the live direction to Liu Hun.

Liu Hun grabbed the director’s walkie-talkie and said, “Everyone follow my command!

Everyone follow my command!

Shut off all the strong lights immediately!

Leave only the dim visibility lights!”

“Click, click, click!

Click, click, click!”

Following Liu Hun’s command, all the bright lights in the Kodak Theatre were extinguished, leaving only a dim glow that faintly illuminated a few meters around.

The mockery from below the stage ceased instantly, and after a brief commotion, calm was restored.

Liu Hun’s first action had been effective!

“Attention to the staff in charge of section B!

Open the doors to the stage in section B and let people in!” Liu Hun issued his second directive.

Curious about what had happened, artists and audience members below the stage saw a bunch of dark figures ascending the stage and instantly understood it must be part of the show.

The mood quickly shifted from scoffing at the mishap and waiting to see Shi Bi’er’s embarrassment to anticipation.

People?

What people?

This question became the doubt in everyone’s minds, including Chai Rong’s.

“All music units pay attention!

Connect the incoming power sources and then wait for my command!

All other departments stand by!” After Liu Hun finished speaking, he rushed onto the stage, which was pitch-black and vast.

The audience could only vaguely see a silhouette rushing towards Shi Bi’er.

Liu Hun reached Shi Bi’er, took her hand, and said, “Don’t be afraid, Bi’er, it’s me!

There’s been an accident, now you just do as I say!

The sound system is ruined, we can’t sing the original song, we must change it on the fly.”

“Change the song on the fly?

What song?

How can I sing without even knowing the lyrics?” Shi Bi’er asked Liu Hun with concern.

“Look at me!

You can do it!

Trust me!” Liu Hun said earnestly to Shi Bi’er, clearly feeling her fear and lack of confidence even in the darkness.

Liu Hun didn’t have much time for comforting words.

But with Shi Bi’er in her current state, things were sure to spoil.

So…

Liu Hun suddenly cupped Shi Bi’er’s face and kissed her lips fiercely!

Shi Bi’er hadn’t expected that at this moment, she would be forcefully kissed by Liu Hun, who usually showed no emotion.

But to her surprise, when their lips met, her heart became incredibly calm, and her feelings for Liu Hun grew even stronger.

Wait!

No!

What is this…

this sensation…

wet…

wet…

Shi Bi’er suddenly shuddered.

After years without intimate contact, she was moved to arousal by Liu Hun’s kiss.

While Shi Bi’er was still closing her eyes, savoring this dreamlike experience, an earpiece was inserted into her ear, followed by Liu Hun’s rational, calm voice devoid of any emotion, “I’ll read the lyrics to you through the earpiece, and you just sing them out!

Trust me, you can do it!

Remember, with me by your side, you are a goddess!”

Although slightly annoyed by Liu Hun’s tone, the overwhelming sweetness following her relief made her nod obediently.

Once Liu Hun had made arrangements, he immediately returned backstage and then spoke into the walkie-talkie, “Music department, connect the power!

MC, announce Shi Bi’er is about to sing the theme song of this year’s Golden Melody Awards, ‘itistimetosaygoodbye!'”

Upon receiving the instruction, the MC, Luo Zhenyi, immediately said with her sweet voice, “Coming up next, the national goddess Shi Bi’er will perform the theme song of this year’s Golden Melody Awards, ‘itistimetosaygoodbye!'”

“Why change the song?

What’s going on?”

“What were they doing for several minutes?

Was it just to change the song?”

“This is an English song, can Shi Bi’er handle it?”

“I just hope Shi Bi’er doesn’t ruin the theme song!

If it’s an English song, I even feel like I’m more suited than she is.”

“…”

The audience below murmured among themselves, while backstage, Liu Hun said to Chai Rong, “Chairman Chai, I’m sorry the external music equipment can’t keep up, so we have to change the song temporarily.

I hope you understand.”

Shi Chai was indeed very anxious.

Seeing Liu Hun handling the coordination deftly, he gratefully said, “As long as it can be resolved!

It doesn’t matter what we change to!

I thank you, Manager Liu!”

Liu Hun could tell from Chai Rong’s tone that he had already given up on having too many expectations for the theme song, but Liu Hun didn’t see it that way.

He continued into the walkie-talkie, “Lighting department, attention!

Lighting department, attention!

Maintain the existing lighting in the audience area, and use a single beam to illuminate Shi Bi’er, brightening with the music’s prelude!

At the same time!

Yes, at the same time!

Medium brightness lights on the left side of the stage!

I’ll count to three!

1!

2!

3!

Go!”

After Liu Hun finished speaking, the stage lights suddenly lit up.

In the dark, the audience, who had been waiting for a long time, had their emotions brewing to the utmost.

If it were a classic, they would offer the most thunderous applause and cheers; if it were a terrible song, of course, there would be no mercy with the scoffing and booing.

“Manager Liu, how can she sing without the music…

Eh?

Where’s Manager Liu?” Chai Rong was about to ask how to let Shi Bi sing without music when he turned his head and saw that Liu Hun was gone.

“Chairman Chai!

Look quick!

It’s an orchestra!

Manager Liu arranged for a live orchestra to accompany Shi Bi’er,” Wu Hao excitedly pointed to the left side of the stage, where the lights were now bright enough to see everything clearly.

The audience below the stage, seeing the suddenly appearing orchestra, let out a surprised exclamation.

They hadn’t expected Shi Bi’er’s song change to be done with such a grand gesture, bringing in an orchestra for live accompaniment, and their anticipation for Shi Bi’er’s upcoming performance grew even more.

Shi Bi’er, illuminated by the gradually strengthening spotlight in the dark, was like a sprite waiting for dawn in the darkness, slowly spreading her wings, dazzling the world and enchanting the Mortal World.

At that moment, Shi Bi’er heard the prelude played by the orchestra beside her and her calm heart started to flutter with uncertainty.

She had no idea what she was supposed to sing.

“Bi’er!

It’s me!

Close your eyes, and the melody will appear in your mind…” Liu Hun’s voice echoed in her earpiece, and Shi Bi’er slowly closed her eyes…

With the orchestra prelude finished, the light that illuminated Shi Bi’er brightened to its apex, as Shi Bi’er slightly parted her lips, and the lyrics recited by Liu Hun flowed out with the music.

“itistimetosaygoodbye…”

Her voice was deep like rolling mountains, powerful as crashing waves against the shore, and ethereal as the wind through a bamboo forest.

It intoxicated everyone there.

The imperfections that had surfaced from the orchestra just receiving Liu Hun’s sheet music were cleansed by Shi Bi’er’s voice, pure and clear.

At this point, Chai Rong realized how foolish his previous words had been; he now felt as if there was no song in the world that Shi Bi’er couldn’t master.

And Wu Hao beside him, entranced, with a dazed expression, was the best proof of that.

Every single person in the audience was thoroughly convinced, with not a single one daring to claim they could sing better, and the fans had already forgotten to scream or even notice the glow sticks that had fallen to the ground because they were wholly conquered by Shi Bi’er’s singing, tears brimming in their eyes.

“I’ll go with you, I’ll go with you…” When the song ended, there was complete silence for five full seconds before the applause and cheers poured in like a deluge.

Wholehearted joy!

Astounded admiration!

Utmost reverence!

Shi Bi’er, who was accustomed to flowers and applause, for the first time experienced a joy and shock completely different from before; she could feel that everyone standing up to applaud was truly sincere and in awe at that moment.

Goddess—Shi Bi’er, basking in the adoration of thousands under the sole spotlight at that moment, truly lived up to the name!

After what could be called the most resplendent closing act of the Golden Melody Awards’ tenth anniversary, the subsequent tidal wave of media praise was overwhelming.

“Welcome, dear viewers, to Gossip and Entertainment!

As everyone knows, the hottest, most popular person recently is none other than our national goddess Shi Bi, and the hottest song?

You all must know it by now—it’s the utterly elegant and magnificent ‘It Is Time To Say Goodbye’!

Just how elegant and splendid is it?

Let’s listen to it once more together on our show.”

“Hello, dear audience friends, we meet again!

For a considerable while now, one female artist has been popping up incessantly on newspapers, magazines, and the most conspicuous spots on television.

Today, we talk about her once again.

Who is she?

None other than the blazingly famous national goddess Shi Bi!

All her previous news seemed to be laying the groundwork for her sensation-causing participation at the Golden Melody Awards!

And at the ceremony, Shi Bi experienced quite a roller coaster, with the process being nothing short of thrilling.

In the end, our goddess had the last laugh, capping off the Golden Melody Awards’ tenth anniversary with a perfectly impeccable theme song, earning herself a flawless exclamation point.

Let us once again indulge in her ultimate rendition of the song!”

“Good evening to all our viewers!

I believe many of you have already played that opening song countless times, haven’t you?

Yes, today we’ll delve into the story behind the song!

What’s the story behind it?

Reportedly, Shi Bi wasn’t supposed to perform this English song initially but another titled ‘Goodbye.’ Just as Shi Bi was about to start singing, the microphone malfunctioned, and changing it thrice yielded no result!

Then there were some issues with the lighting!

Just when jeering laughter had started echoing in the venue, the situation turned a full one-hundred-eighty degrees!

The unyielding goddess Shi Bi, accompanied by the live orchestra, presented the immortal classic to all the audience members.

Every single one of the several hundreds of celebrities present was left astounded, and finally, the entire venue stood to applaud, witnessing Shi Bi’s stunning transformation from a mere beauty to a true goddess!

Let us relive the timeless, forever enthralling ‘It Is Time To Say Goodbye’ once more!”

“Let’s talk essence, not just appearances!

As an entertainment variety show, of course, we must—and cannot help but—talk about the current hottest star, Shi Bi!

However, we’ll not discuss Shi Bi or her song that’s already taken over all the radio and TV stations.

Let’s talk about her manager, Liu Hun!

It was this suddenly famous manager, who seemed to come out of nowhere, who helped Shi Bi achieve what other artists can’t even dare to dream of—a perfect turnaround!

Breaking contract with the old agency, transitioning from worker to boss, composing songs and writing lyrics that reversed Shi Bi’s previous typecast image, and finally, helping her to reach a status far beyond the reach of other artists.

It’s said that this mind-blowing song that stunned the audience was even written on the fly—I want to ask Manager Liu just one question: Just how capable are you?

Compared to you, how are the other managers supposed to stay in the game?

Jokes aside, let’s still get a listen to that ‘It Is Time To Say Goodbye’ penned by Manager Liu on the spot!”
