Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 474 Xia Fan, Coming Down to Earth

"what?"

"Teacher Kishimoto means that this award should go to Xia Fan?"

"But, this 'Best Creation Award' is for Xia Fan, what does it have to do with Xia Fan..."

"After all, Mr. Kishimoto is so old, it's normal for him to have dementia. No wonder he hasn't released any new songs in such a long time."

As soon as Yoshihiro Kishimoto said this, all the guests and audience members felt their logic chain break and their thoughts were in a mess...

"Teacher Kishimoto was chatting with us before the ceremony started. How could he suddenly become senile and confused?"

"But if he is not confused, then what this 'music fairy' said is completely unreasonable, right?"

"There is a reasonable explanation..."

"You mean... Xia Fan is the one who came down to earth?!"

After a while, some people in the guest seats gradually realized something, looked at each other, and started arguing incoherently.

"What nonsense! If these two are the same person, I will stand upside down naked."

"I do a 360 degree backflip naked..."

"I'm doing a one-on-ten infantry action scene completely naked!"

"This last bet is clearly a reward for myself!"

In the worldview of these practitioners, "idols" at the bottom of the entertainment industry's food chain, where even "appearance" is not a threshold, and "musicians" at the top of the pyramid, who require unique talents, are two species with "reproductive isolation" that can never overlap!

Even from the perspective of practical benefits, as Yamazaki Hiroshi once said to Xia Fan, if a musician can just lie down and earn royalties, who would be willing to kneel down and practice for more than ten hours a day just to lick the fans, and have to act according to the company's mood?
"Absolutely impossible. No matter how handsome Xia Fan is, or how good he is at singing and dancing, he is just a talent show idol. He has nothing to do with a 'genius musician' descending to earth!"

"Teacher Kishimoto is getting old and confused. He even used the 'Down to Earth' trophy to drag Xia Fan into making a fool of himself. I want to see how this farce ends."

Iijima Yozo circled his hands in front of his chest to create snow-white waves, and stared at Xia Fan and Kishimoto Yoshihiro as if he was enjoying a good show.

It has been many years since a guest presented the wrong award at a large-scale award ceremony like this...

She could imagine that Xia Fan would definitely be the biggest clown in this farce on the front pages of major media outlets tomorrow.

"nothing is impossible."

"Since 'Xia Fan' has never shown his face in public... the possibility that he could be Xia Fan, or anyone else, exists without distinction."

Instead, it was Matsudaira Johnny beside her who smiled playfully.

After thinking it over and over again, he basically confirmed that Xia Fan was the "God Killer" who caused the deaths of those wild gods one after another.

Now, even if he added the identity of a "genius musician" as an additional identity, it would not be enough to surprise him.

"Did you hear what Mr. Kishimoto meant? Xia Fan is the man who wrote Sakura?"

"But isn't Xia Fan from the Department of Music at Tokyo University of the Arts? It's not surprising that he can write lyrics and compose music, right?"

"Do you think songwriting is like screwing in screws, and that you can just get some training in school? That's a genius musician who has come down to earth and has three hit songs that topped the charts in half a year!"

This kind of discussion, centered on the stage, spread out along the guest seats and the audience seats...

"Idol Xia Fan, is he a musician descended to earth?"

"Xia Fan is a descendant?"

"Xia Fan laid an egg?"

The entire ceremony venue was filled with noisy discussions as if a storm had arrived, and the content of the discussions was like gossip that gradually distorted as it spread from one end of the village to the other.

"Tsk, our Xia Fan is the most powerful idol on earth. He is proficient in singing, dancing, and rap. He is also world-class at kendama, dice rolling, and tablecloth drawing. It's not surprising that he can write more songs..."

"What do you know, you idiot fan? The three songs of Xia Fan teacher have a revolutionary impact on the music scene and the industry. Those sissy idol songs are incomparable!" "But if Xia Fan is Xia Fan, wouldn't it be normal for the Ministry of Culture to award him the title of 'Specially Appointed Artist'?"

"From this perspective, it seems to make sense?"

From the initial incredulity, the audience who were discussing it fiercely gradually found some reasonable connection between "Xia Fan" and "coming down to earth"...

"Well, my mission is accomplished."

Yoshihiro Kishimoto, the instigator of all this, spread his hands and returned to his seat under Suo's resentful gaze.

"Speaking of which, what should we do with this trophy?"

Xia Fan, holding the heavy trophy, didn't know whether to keep it or give it back to someone.

"Boy, we have all signed a confidentiality agreement. You must not admit in person that you are Xia Fan!"

"If Company B pursues the matter, your newly built villa won't even be enough to pay for the breach of contract."

Higashino Yoshihide reminded in a low voice, snatched the trophy away, and wanted to return this "hot potato" to the host with a wry smile.

"Don't...it's not right to give it to me..."

"Teacher Kishimoto... don't leave yet... what the hell is going on..."

Even the experienced and well-trained host had never encountered such an award ceremony with so many unexpected events. In this chaotic scene, he had no idea how to move the program forward.

"In this case, let's leave it to the 'organizer' to handle."

The short and fat Director Kawai quietly walked forward and took away the host's microphone.

"Everyone... please be quiet..."

Seeing Director Kawai standing on the stage, the discussions in the audience gradually died down.

They were all very curious about how the "leader" who gave the opening speech would "make up" for the chaos created by Yoshihiro Kishimoto.

"Teacher Kishimoto, there is nothing wrong with the awarding just now."

"Because, Mr. Xia Fan, is indeed the author of "Sakura" who has come down to earth..."

"So, the award ceremony will proceed as normal."

After speaking concisely and forcefully, Minister Kawai strode off the stage.

"Director Kawai actually..."

In the guest seats, Zhou Fang, who was still on the phone, fell back weakly on the chair.

"No need to think of ways to cover it up. The exposure of the identity of the 'descending mortal' is inevitable. Let's just prepare a positive PR plan."

His cell phone, which was still talking, fell silently from his ear onto the red carpet.

"The leaders of the Department of Culture said so..."

"So, Xia Fan really came down to earth?!!!"

"This... this news is too explosive..."

"It's totally worth it to come here early in the morning to grab a spot at the Kanda Festival this time!"

Director Kawai's personal admission put an end to all the doubts and heated debates in the audience's hearts, leaving only a bolt from the blue.

After all, the Ministry of Culture is responsible for copyright registration and will review the real name and household registration file of the author of each registered work.

Director Kawai’s speech in such a public occasion is the most authoritative certification of his identity as a mortal.
