Chapter 90

"Teacher Lu, you wouldn't want President Li to find out."

"Are you just going to slink back like this?"

"Remember, you represent启 Tianqi Music right now."

Xiao Long forced a smile.

He smiled at Lu Xuan, who was standing on the steps.

"Lu Xuan..."

Su Yao tugged at Lu Xuan's hand worriedly.

If he wanted to leave, she would follow him without hesitation.

At this moment, all the cameras in the venue rushed toward them, almost shoving into their faces.

The audience members, who were already packing up to leave,

stopped what they were doing and watched the stage with great interest.

Their eyes darted back and forth between Lu Xuan and Xiao Long.

"Would you call this a live broadcast accident?"

"To be personally called out by the golden composer Xiao Long, it seems Teacher Lu has already gained his recognition."

"I just don't know if Teacher Lu dares to accept the challenge."

Online, various comments began to flood the screen.

They had thought this season was a bit boring.

But Xiao Long's sudden move...

woke them right up!

"Come and see, come and see!"

"Xiao Long and Director Lu are fighting!"

"What? Xiao Long and Director Lu are getting married?!"

"Huh?! Xiao Long and Director Lu even have kids?!"

The comments became more and more outrageous.

Backstage.

The person in charge watched the soaring ratings, his mouth splitting into a wide grin!

"As expected!"

"I knew inviting these two would definitely be the right move."

Initially, the person in charge had invited Shenghua and Tianqi.

As old rivals, if either company sent a representative, it would create some buzz.

But he never expected!

In order to share the stage with Lu Xuan, Xiao Long would personally come!

Breaking his record of never participating in variety shows.

He even took the lead in challenging Tianqi's Lu Xuan during the encore segment.

Now, all eyes were on Lu Xuan.

Everyone wanted to see how this double-gold director would respond.

"Should we just leave?"

Su Yao was a little angry at the production team's inaction.

They weren't stopping this, even now!

She wanted to pull Lu Xuan away right then and there.

But Lu Xuan stopped her.

"Don't be anxious."

"Wouldn't I look like a coward if we just left like this?"

"Lu Xuan never actively courts trouble, but he's never afraid of it either!"

Under Xiao Long's burning gaze,

Lu Xuan took Su Yao's arm, stepped forward, and walked onto the stage.

He stood facing Xiao Long and his 'wife.'

It was all fake anyway, who was afraid of who!

And someone was even asking to be slapped in the face.

Lu Xuan had never encountered such a request in his life.

It almost made him think he was the protagonist.

"So, what is your unreasonable request?"

"Lu here will accept it all."

Lu Xuan nodded and said loudly.

His words echoed throughout the venue.

"He accepted! He accepted!"

"A mantis trying to stop a chariot, or a battle of the century?!"

"Holy crap! A battle of the gods, son, come and see! Your favorite person is going to PK with someone else!"

"What? Teacher Lu is getting beaten up? Where's my AK!"

"Pa—"

Although Lu Xuan's fame in the music industry was not as high as in the film industry,

the songs he wrote, whether for albums or singles,

were all currently popular online.

So his current fame was only slightly less than Xiao Long's!

Who was Xiao Long?

He debuted ten years ago, and his song "The First Rain in 2003" became a hit across the country!

Since then, he had been extremely talented, with one golden song after another!

In recent years, for some unknown reason,

Xiao Long joined Shenghua Entertainment and became the leading figure of Shenghua's music department!

With the support of capital,

his fame had reached its peak!

He reigned supreme in the domestic songwriting scene with his genius.

He became the defending king!

Among the representative works of today's popular superstars,

more than one was written by Xiao Long.

Every musician considered it an honor to sing Xiao Long's songs.

Although in recent years, Xiao Long's songs had lost some of their former passion, many people still appreciated them.

Now, hearing that Xiao Long had not only joined a variety show,

but was also going head-to-head with the new genius director who was also a double-gold medalist,

the topic exploded instantly!

The ratings of the "Who is the Singer" program directly broke the all-time record!

The person in charge was so happy that his mouth was crooked.

"Goodness, it's so intense even before it's started."

"If they really fight later, won't the ratings explode?"

The person in charge wiped his mouth.

Then he quickly notified the host through the earpiece.

"Hurry up and do your job! What are you standing there for!"

"Oh, oh!"

The host recovered from his surprise.

He immediately walked towards Xiao Long.

At the same time, the figures of Lu Xuan and his wife, and Xiao Long and his wife, appeared on the big screen on the stage.

The venue erupted in enthusiastic whistles.

Spectators never minded excitement!

Being able to see these two competing on the same stage,

the ticket price was definitely worth it!

"Good, good, good!"

Seeing Lu Xuan accept the challenge, Xiao Long's wig trembled with excitement.

This variety show was definitely worth his time!

Lu Xuan was an even more talented competitor than he was in his day!

Competing with someone like this would reignite his cooled-down passion.

How many years had it been!

He had been walking alone on the path of music creation for who knew how many years!

As a pioneer and trailblazer in the domestic music scene!

He was lonely!

The kind of loneliness that came from being at the top.

When Xiao Long looked back, he saw not companions or friends,

but countless expectant gazes.

They expected him to create better works for them to enjoy.

These expectations turned into immense pressure!

Making Xiao Long very tired.

His inspiration was almost exhausted!

In the new generation of song creation,

he couldn't see any future for Chinese music!

Instead, foreign music was gradually occupying the domestic market.

The Chinese music scene had entered a dark age.

Besides Xiao Long, only his shadow was fighting on the front lines in the country.

Just as he was preparing to stop, or simply retire,

Lu Xuan appeared.

In this young man, Xiao Long saw the future!

That seemingly inexhaustible inspiration!

Shocked Xiao Long!

The high degree of coordination between lyrics and music, and the heart-stirring, wonderful melody.

A brand new creative direction appeared before Xiao Long.

It was as if...

another world!

Another world with extremely high artistic standards!

Therefore, Xiao Long had repeatedly wanted to have a match with Lu Xuan.

Not because he was a villain asking to be abused.

But because Xiao Long really craved a teammate who could fight alongside him!

To fight together against foreign invasions!

Looking at Lu Xuan, Xiao Long suppressed his excitement.

He also replied loudly: "My unreasonable request is to have a competition of original works with Teacher Lu."

"Moreover, it must be the latest original works."

He wanted to use this duel to confirm another thing.

Original works?

He loved original works!

Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows and agreed directly.

"I have no problem with competing on original works."

"But since it's a competition, there has to be a price to pay, right?"

Otherwise, he would be at a great loss!

"How about, if Mr. Xiao loses, he quits Shenghua Entertainment?"

As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.

Everyone thought Xiao Long would not agree.

This condition was too outrageous.

However, to everyone's shock, Xiao Long nodded calmly.

"No problem."

He didn't even show the slightest emotional fluctuation!

Lu Xuan: "......"

Everyone: "......"
