I'm a web novelist, and you want me to work in the entertainment industry?

"Now, the next guest we're going to invite is someone you've probably been looking forward to for a long time." The host's lips curled up slightly.

"He can write stories with a pen and express his feelings with his singing, winning everyone's love with his sincere works."

As soon as these highly targeted words were spoken, the audience immediately realized who was about to perform, and enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from the audience.

Viewers watching the Spring Festival Gala live on their screens, and those who unlocked the bullet screen comment feature for the first time, started flooding the screen with comments:

[Brother Che! I've missed you so much since I last saw you a month ago!]

Will posting about Zero here get blocked? Reply with "1" if you see my post!

What kind of song will Cheng Che sing this time? Looking forward to it!

[I heard that Che Ge was going to be on the Spring Festival Gala, and I thought he would sing either "Rice Fragrance" or "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales," but now I find out... it's a new song?]

This is great news! I want to check the license plate!

"With such enthusiastic cheers, I'm sure everyone has already guessed who he is," the host said with a smile. "Tonight, he will use a brand new melody to tell a story of human kindness."

"Please welcome Cheng Che with applause for his song 'As You Wish'!"

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

……

Backstage.

Cheng Che took a deep breath after hearing the host's voice on stage.

There could never be a grander stage than this, so... grant me strength, old man!

He stepped forward and onto the stage.

The spotlight suddenly fell, landing steadily on Cheng Che, and applause from the audience surged like a tide.

He raised his hand and gently gripped the microphone, his gaze slowly sweeping across the audience below the stage—

The front row was filled with veteran artists, the middle with a dense cluster of smiling faces, and the back row with rows of people...

He quickly found the person he was looking for. Tian Xiwei was sitting in the audience seat on the right, her hair simply tied back, revealing her clean and bright features.

Tian Xiwei met his gaze, blinked, and her lips moved slightly.

He silently said, "Keep it up."

Cheng Che let out a soft breath and withdrew his gaze.

He has everything he needs now!

The background screen slowly lights up, and a landscape painting unfolds gradually. The mountains are like dark eyebrows, the rivers are like ribbons, and under the vast sky, the lights of thousands of households light up one after another.

The prelude begins, unlike the grand and majestic "Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth," it is a light and ethereal piano sound, like a drop of water falling on the surface of water.

Cheng Che raised the microphone to his mouth, lowered his eyes slightly, and began to speak.

"You are the light in the long road and the thick fog in the mountains."

"I am a child, walking in your sight."

As the clear and melodious singing faded, the studio fell silent instantly.

All eyes in the venue were fixed on the young man in the center of the stage.

"You are the bright moon and gentle breeze, and I am the dream you caress."

Whether we meet or not, I will embrace you for a lifetime.

In the backstage waiting area, Xiao Tang silently watched Cheng Che on the screen.

Great, great! It's clear that Brother Che hasn't been affected by the environment at all.

Will Wang Che's Jackie Chan plan finally succeed?

"And I will love the world you love, and wish you the smiles you desire."

"I'm holding your hand, stumbling along, please take me to tomorrow."

Tian Xiwei looked up at the stage, quietly watching Cheng Che, a faint smile on her lips.

Little Cheng Pig is invincible; she won't accept any rebuttal from anyone!

"If you have ever tasted bitterness in my sweetness, I am willing to live out your wish."

"May it not be in vain, may we forge ahead bravely, every single day of this prosperous age."

[My God! I'm not surprised that Che Ge sang this kind of song on the Spring Festival Gala, but how did he manage to make the lyrics so catchy?]

[At first, there were doubts, since Cheng Che had only recently become famous and was already on the Spring Festival Gala, performing a solo... Apologies!]

I hereby announce that Zero's human status will be temporarily reinstated for one day.

"You are the sky where sparks ignite in the long river of time."

"I am an admirer, so I will sing your praises."

In the second verse, Cheng Che's voice remained steady.

That's how it is when you're on stage. You might be a little nervous backstage or when you first step onto the stage, but once the song starts, there's nothing else in the world but the song.

"You are where I came from, and where my heart belongs."

"You will meet me on every path in this world."

On the large background screen, a landscape painting slowly changes.

From the snowy plateau to the water towns of Jiangnan, from the desolate desert to the bright moon over the sea.

One ordinary face after another flashed across the screen: medical staff, firefighters, teachers, workers...

"And I will love the world you love, and wish you the smiles you desire."

"I'm holding your hand, stumbling along, please take me to tomorrow."

"If you have ever tasted bitterness in my sweetness, I am willing to live out your wish."

"May our efforts not be in vain, may we forge ahead bravely, every single day of this prosperous age..."

In Shanghai, Cheng's parents and Tian's parents were watching their son/son-in-law's (future) performance on the Spring Festival Gala stage in real time.

The first two felt incredibly gratified. The brat who used to clamor to be a singer has now realized his dream and is standing on the grandest stage in the country.

The two were also happy, but in their happiness they were also thinking that since their son-in-law (future) was so outstanding, they must make sure their daughter kept a close eye on him.

With such a son-in-law, when you go back to your hometown, won't all the neighbors and relatives be envious to the point of tears?

"The mountains and rivers are safe and sound, the fireworks are as usual, and you can finally see what you longed for."

"Sleep peacefully, my children, just as you loved them."

In the backstage lounge, many of the other artists waiting to go on stage were amazed as they watched Cheng Che perform with such ease on the screen.

There are very few celebrities in the entertainment industry as legendary as Cheng Che. Many people struggle for decades to get to where they are now, but he only took half a year.

I do feel envious, but I'm not really resentful, because this person is indeed exceptionally talented.

On the occasion of the Spring Festival Gala, talent is everything.

"And I will dream the reunion you dream, and may your wish be forever."

"Walk the long road you have walked, and love you in this way."

Backstage, the chief director, who was closely monitoring the Spring Festival Gala, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Cheng Che's stable performance.

Thankfully, he chose to believe, and Cheng Che was indeed trustworthy.

After tonight, this kid's status in the entertainment industry will be incredible.

"I will also see the world you have not seen, and write the poems you have not written."

"The moon in the sky, the longing in my heart, you will always be by my side."

"I made a promise with you, to live a life of purity, as clear as your youthful face..."

As the final notes faded away, the screen displayed thousands of lights, and then the image slowly dimmed.

The entire venue fell silent for a moment, then erupted in thunderous applause and cheers, filling every corner of the stage.

Hearing the thunderous applause from the audience, Cheng Che's chest rose and fell slightly.

Lao Zi, this should be considered exceeding your dream, right?

You've gotten what you wanted.
