Chapter 71

"Good morning, Mr. Gu."

Lu Xuan greeted him with a smile.

"Good morning, Teacher Lu, and this is..."

Gu Yunli was about to introduce Bingbing beside him.

But Bingbing proactively extended her hand.

She smiled generously, "I'm Bingbing, and I work as a host."

"Teacher Lu, I've heard so much about you!"

Lu Xuan touched his nose, "I know, the nation's first love."

They shook hands briefly.

Bingbing gave Lu Xuan a sweet smile.

Her sweet appearance completely belied the fact that she was almost thirty.

After greeting each other, Gu Yunli pulled Lu Xuan to the front of the stage.

"Teacher Lu, just go on stage and sing later."

"I'll help you adjust the lighting."

"Okay."

Bingbing chimed in, "Teacher Lu, can I interview you after you finish singing?"

"Just for a few minutes."

"And I wouldn't mind if you took the opportunity to advertise."

Clearly, she had heard about Lu Xuan from Gu Yunli.

Lu Xuan certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity to have the nation's first love advertise for him.

He smiled and agreed.

"Then I'll have to trouble Miss Bingbing."

"Hehe, no trouble at all."

Soon, the stage was set up.

At Gu Yunli's request, the stage decorations were relatively simple.

The audience's attention, along with the lights, would only be focused on the singer.

On the big screen behind, there would be some appropriate CG images.

It's worth mentioning that after Lu Xuan learned about the CG, he proactively suggested playing the promotional clips from *Dying to Survive*.

Gu Yunli looked at it and saw no problems.

So he agreed.

"Lights ready!"

"Photography team ready!"

As the stage lights shone down, Lu Xuan sat in the center of the stage.

His gaze quietly looked down below.

At this moment, everyone in the audience was also watching the man in the center of the stage.

He was relaxed, holding a microphone in his hand.

He was dressed neatly, like the boy next door.

Sunny, handsome!

There wasn't a trace of nervousness about him!

Bingbing praised from backstage, "Teacher Lu is indeed a director, he's not nervous at all in front of the camera."

"I still get nervous occasionally."

Gu Yunli nodded.

He thought that Lu Xuan not only had a good attitude, but also had excellent image and temperament!

His sense of camera presence was also superb!

Inviting Lu Xuan to sing live was a total steal.

If he sang well, the ratings would definitely not be low.

"Prepare."

Gu Yunli saw Lu Xuan nod to him, understanding that he was ready.

So he gave a gesture to the broadcast room.

At the same time.

Lu Xuan's headset and the hall's external speakers simultaneously began to play the intro to "Gu Yong Zhe" (Lone Brave).

The stage lights gradually dimmed.

Whoosh—

A beam of light suddenly shone on Lu Xuan.

Becoming the only light in the surrounding area!

Lu Xuan couldn't help but close his eyes, taking the opportunity to build up his emotions.

"......"

The entire venue was quiet.

When Lu Xuan had finished building up his emotions, the intro had just ended.

Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

The momentary change in his eyes made Bingbing's mouth slightly open in astonishment!

"It feels...like a different person."

When Lu Xuan opened his mouth, Bingbing's attention was drawn to Lu Xuan's voice.

Low and magnetic.

That full sense of story directly brought her into Lu Xuan's narrative.

So did everyone else.

Everyone rose and fell with Lu Xuan's emotional fluctuations.

'Who says that only those standing in the light are heroes'

When he sang this line, even the cameraman couldn't help but hum along.

Everyone's heart was inexplicably filled with a sense of power!

They seemed to see the figures of some people.

Great yet ordinary!

Plus, the movie clips flashed on the big screen behind Lu Xuan.

This sense of immersion was even deeper!

Gu Yunli's eyes were red, and he raised his hand to wipe them.

On stage, the song entered its climax.

Lu Xuan's voice also became passionate and慷慨 (kāng kǎi - impassioned)!

At this moment, he was not singing a movie promotion song.

But singing the praises of those heroes who have been silently dedicating themselves!

Gu Yunli stood offstage, muttering to himself.

"Father, this flourishing age..."

"Is as you wished!"

......

Lu Xuan finished singing, in one take.

An extraordinary performance!

"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Lu."

Gu Yunli handed over a bottle of mineral water.

Lu Xuan took it and simply moistened his throat.

Then he asked, "Mr. Gu, do you need to record it again?"

"No need, no need, there's nothing wrong with it."

Lu Xuan's stage effect just now was enough to amaze everyone.

Gu Yunli was very satisfied.

And the quality of the song was a little beyond his expectations.

Maybe Lu Xuan sang it too well.

That sense of melody was still repeating in Gu Yunli's mind.

"This song is really bewitching..."

"And Teacher Lu, you sang it really well!"

Bingbing walked over, not hiding her admiration for Lu Xuan.

Having been a host for so many years, it was the first time she had seen someone like Lu Xuan.

Such a talented music creator.

Was actually a director?

Then how interesting would his movie be!

"Teacher Lu, I'm really looking forward to seeing your new movie released."

Lu Xuan smiled, "My pleasure."

"Hehe~"

Bingbing put her hands behind her back and gave a playful smile.

"Then...Teacher Lu, can you accept my interview now?"

"No problem."

Lu Xuan looked at Gu Yunli, "Then Mr. Gu, what about your side?"

"There's nothing for me to do here."

Gu Yunli said with a smile, "Teacher Lu, go ahead and do the interview, we'll chat again when you're done."

"Bingbing, remember to give Teacher Lu a tour."

"Okay!"

Afterward, Bingbing led Lu Xuan to the interview room next door.

After calling in the photographer, Bingbing sat across from Lu Xuan.

She skillfully took out a recorder and gave Lu Xuan a sweet smile.

"Then Teacher Lu, shall we start?"

"Okay."

"Teacher Lu, what was your original intention in creating 'Gu Yong Zhe'?"

Lu Xuan: ???

Why does everyone ask this question?

Facing the camera, Lu Xuan ultimately explained it again.

The following questions were obviously biased towards Lu Xuan.

Giving Lu Xuan the opportunity to mix in more personal content in his answers.

Especially regarding the question of the song's creative inspiration.

Lu Xuan even mentioned *Dying to Survive* twice.

His serious appearance while advertising highlighted his shamelessness!

Bingbing's smile became even sweeter.

Teacher Lu is so interesting!

After the interview, Bingbing exchanged contact information with Lu Xuan.

"Teacher Lu, I have a feeling."

"When your movie is released, we'll meet again!"

"Is that so?"

Lu Xuan smiled indifferently.

Anyway, he had a great time advertising!

The closing song of the Central Television program, plus an exclusive interview with the nation's first love.

As long as these two videos can be successfully broadcast.

Then the promotion of *Dying to Survive* will reach an unprecedented peak!

In that case, it would be worthy of this movie.

"Then goodbye, Teacher Lu."

"Goodbye."

Waving goodbye to Bingbing, Lu Xuan didn't stay long.

Stepping out of the television station, he glanced around.

The sun was shining brightly, and life was peaceful.

Lu Xuan only felt that the future was bright!

Looking down again, he saw that graceful figure under the green shade across the street.

"Why are you here?"

Su Yao waved the umbrella in her hand.

"The weather forecast said it was going to rain, so I came to bring you an umbrella."

She smiled and walked towards Lu Xuan.

A smile that could launch a thousand ships!
