The Queen's Rumored Father

"The teachers are flattering me too much," Xu Yuan said modestly. He was sitting next to Meng Xiaoxuan.

Teacher He had already made the arrangements.

"The host for the King of Singers Night three days from now is Teacher Wang Han," Teacher He announced.

This can be considered a friendship that he and Wang Han intentionally cultivated.

They will have a slight connection on certain occasions.

But Xu Yuan could tell that Teacher He was the more proactive one.

In other words, He Jiong has a slight advantage in the entertainment industry.

The most obvious example is the 2019 Hunan TV New Year's Eve concert during the Earth era. In the final segment, all the celebrities went on stage for a group photo, and each person introduced themselves in a short paragraph.

At this point, Teacher He took the initiative to control the situation.

He then said roughly, "Alright, now let's hand the microphone over to the Zhou Zhou brothers, and have them say a blessing to the viewers in front of the TV!"

The words were very clear.

Let's say it together.

Then the people at headquarters said it together. However, because the second half of the sentence was omitted, it caused a misunderstanding for Teacher Wang Han.

Time was extremely tight at the time; the countdown was about to begin.

Teacher Wang Han's face immediately darkened.

We, the Zhou Zhou brothers, will all say a blessing together, and then each of you on Happy Camp will say a blessing?

Teacher Wang Han immediately said a blessing and passed the microphone to Qian Feng, indicating that Zhou Zhou and his brother should each say a word.

Finally, He Jiong from Happy Camp, on behalf of the rest of the cast, gave everyone a New Year's greeting, and then they rang the New Year's bell.

It is usually only the slightly weaker party that thinks of retaliating against the other party.

This also shows that Teacher Wang Han harbors hostility towards Teacher He. Otherwise, he could have easily understood Teacher He's words.

Of course, this refers to aspects such as hosting on Hunan TV.

In some other areas, especially in official circles, Professor Wang Han might be slightly better than Professor He.

After all, in the various popular variety shows that later revolved around Happy Camp, some of the Zhou Zhou Brothers became co-hosts. While it might seem that the Zhou Zhou Brothers were slightly inferior, it's hard to say whether it was a compromise made by Teacher Wang Han in order to secure a higher position and Teacher He's full support.

The entertainment industry is full of truths and lies, making it hard to discern the truth from falsehood.

The main reason Teacher He invited Teacher Wang Han today was to use Xu Yuan and Meng Xiaoxuan as an excuse to discuss some things with Teacher Wang Han.

He believes that Xu Yuan's idea is worth considering now.

And this definitely requires Professor Wang Han's approval.

"Xu Yuan, you're Xiao Xuan's guest performer on the night of the King of Singers, right?" Teacher Wang Han said meaningfully. "This time, everyone's guest performers are quite impressive. They're all very high-profile."

Xu Yuan's pupils contracted slightly.

Big card?

In other words, if Meng Xiaoxuan asks Xu Yuan for help, it's actually at a disadvantage.

Is myself a point deducted?

That really hurts!

"Thank you, Teacher Wang Han." Xu Yuan indicated that he had received the message and said, "Xiao Xuan, I just hope you can make it into the King of Singers competition this time."

The King of Singers Night consists of two rounds of competition.

The first round featured seven contestants performing on stage with their guest singers.

The last two in this round will be eliminated, missing out on the final singing competition.

The five finalists will perform solo, and the winner of this year's Mango TV "Singer" program will be chosen by a joint vote from the internet, judges, live audience, and the program team!

Xu Yuan and Han Lei had already reached a consensus: the title of "King of Singers" had to belong to Han Lei. And for Han Lei, who had returned to the throne of a superstar, his support and promotion of Meng Xiaoxuan was far more important than the title of "King of Singers."

However, the situation does not appear to be so optimistic at present.

Because Hong Kong's Little Goldfish, Deng Ziqi, is just too amazing.

To be fair, without the show's producers' pressure, she could have easily won two first places. In recent episodes, although Meng Xiaoxuan ranked slightly higher, she was actually a step behind Deng Ziqi.

Of course, this is because Meng Xiaoxuan's recent songs are all original compositions she chose herself. Deng Ziqi's songs, on the other hand, have the support of the entire Hong Kong music scene and three to five top-notch songwriters.

"It's good that you have confidence." Teacher Wang Han nodded and said no more.

Click till.

……

After the meal, everyone went their separate ways.

In the hotel, Xu Yuan pondered which song he should sing with Meng Xiaoxuan on the night of the King of Singers competition.

He had already narrowed it down to about three songs in his mind.

The first song is Dr. Chen's "Ten Years".

Ironically, this is a love song, but many guys like to play it at parties.

The more it's sung, the more it becomes a nostalgic song about friendship, seemingly having nothing to do with love anymore.

Ten years ago... we were the same, staying by the side of a stranger... Ten years later, we are friends, we can still greet each other, but that tenderness, that reason to embrace, is gone...

These words could also be used to describe the relationship between Xu Yuan and Meng Xiaoxuan.

While seemingly depicting a love story, in reality, Xu Yuan and Meng Xiaoxuan had indeed been separated for ten years. Now, even though father and daughter have reunited, their identities cannot be revealed due to their age and other issues; even if they were, no one would believe it.

The two of them really couldn't be intimate in public.

It's perfectly healthy and normal for dads and daughters to hold hands or even hug.

But these are things Xu Yuan is destined to lose. Just like when he was twenty, what he was destined to lose can never be recovered!

Of course, if this song is to be used, the lyrics need to be changed.

Because lyrics like "lovers inevitably become friends in the end, it's just a breakup" can be explained, for example, that a daughter is her father's lover from a past life, but it's still somewhat far-fetched.

Xu Yuan didn't want those negative public opinions to affect him and Meng Xiaoxuan.

Therefore, ten years is most likely ruled out.

Another song is "Where Has the Time Gone," a classic song that became a household name during a certain Spring Festival Gala.

This song is about parental love, and it caused a great stir at the time.

"Where has the time gone? Before I could truly enjoy my youth, I'm already old. I've spent my whole life raising children, and all I can think about are their cries and laughter."

"Where has the time gone? I haven't even had a chance to really look at you before my eyes start to blur. Half a lifetime spent on daily chores and household chores, and in the blink of an eye, all that's left is a face full of wrinkles."

This is the truest portrayal of parents everywhere.

The problem is, Xu Yuan isn't old at all!

To be precise, he's even gotten younger!

He was afraid that if he sang this song with Meng Xiaoxuan, she would burst out laughing.

Where did his time go? Or should Meng Xiaoxuan lament where her own time has gone, as she's almost as old as her father?

Therefore, it should be ruled out.

The third song is also a song by Dr. Chen, which he also performed on the Spring Festival Gala.

A steady and secure happiness!

This song meets Xu Yuan's requirements in many ways.

However, the style is slightly melancholic and sad, suitable for boys, and doesn't seem to be a good match for Meng Xiaoxuan.

Singing this kind of song will have a great effect, but this song will not become Meng Xiaoxuan's signature work in the future.

Xu Yuan wanted more than just Meng Xiaoxuan to advance to the final singing competition.

Furthermore, every original song she has sung is a classic!

Immediately afterwards, a phrase came to mind.

A slight smile played on his lips. He'd finally found it!
