You're already divorced, why are you so anxious about him becoming a succubus?

Zhang Yuan stood there like a wooden stake, staring at Shen Man's stunningly beautiful profile, which was filled with infatuation.

She turned her head to look at the tall and slender figure on the stage, and finally her gaze fell on the bouquet of red roses that Shen Man was tightly holding to her chest.

A cool sea breeze blew by, and Zhang Yuan felt a burning pain on his cheeks.

The clown is actually myself?!

On stage, the intro to "Beauty and a Beat" had just finished playing.

"Show you off..."

"Tonight I wanna show you off..."

As soon as the voice came out, the audience who had been questioning the situation burst into an uproar of disbelief!

Everyone was stunned.

"What the hell?! The original singer has suddenly appeared in Jiangcheng?!"

"It's a little different, but it's so similar!"

"Holy crap! This guy's voice has a natural reverb!"

Two guys who had just had a fight with a girl were about to go for drinks when they heard singing and suddenly stopped and turned around.

The two looked at each other, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

"Holy crap, they got Justin Bieber to come to this music festival?!"

"Really? I just checked the electronic program schedule, it's a singer named Lu Ci."

"What's the point of drinking now! Let's go, let's not go anymore, let's hurry back and check on things!"

However, getting out is easy, but getting back in is incredibly difficult.

"Beauty and a Beat" is an extremely infectious electronic dance track.

At this moment, with Lu Ci's "Siren's Enchanting Voice" amplifying their emotions, the audience was completely ignited, and countless people started jumping wildly in place to the rhythm!

After trying for a long time, the two could only stand on tiptoe and watch from afar on the outermost edge.

In the inner part of the venue, towards the rear, where the crowd is relatively sparse.

Shen Nian is wearing a white floral dress today.

She held a bunch of sunflowers tightly in her hands, looked up at Lu Ci's handsome face under the spotlight on the huge LED screen.

Amidst the deafening roar, the girl's eyes seemed to hold a sky full of stars.

She looked at that figure who was the center of attention, and a proud smile appeared on her lips.

……

Compared to the frenzy of the audience, Shen Man, standing backstage, wasn't really surprised that Lu Ci could demonstrate such a level of singing ability.

After all, I used to frequent bars just to hear Lu Ci sing.

But on this large open-air stage in front of tens of thousands of people, watching him unleash his full charm, Shen Man couldn't help but be mesmerized.

However, Zhang Yuan, who was standing next to her, was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

This is supposed to be an internet celebrity?!

Who told him this internet celebrity's singing is mediocre?!

Having been in the industry for so long, Zhang Yuan understands that having a good voice is one thing, but maintaining absolute breath stability, smooth switching between true and falsetto, and precise English pronunciation in such intense electronic music requires extremely top-notch vocal skills!

A flicker of extreme jealousy and panic flashed in Zhang Yuan's eyes.

He absolutely refused to believe that an unknown bar singer could possess such incredible talent. He gritted his teeth, convinced in his heart: This guy is definitely lip-syncing! It must be a pre-recorded, heavily edited version of the original soundtrack!

At this point, the area below the stage had completely transformed into a massive disco.

The crowd surged like a boiling ocean, rising and falling in sync with Lu Ci's rhythm.

Lu Ci on stage gradually got used to the feeling of being the center of attention.

He unplugged the microphone, walked out from behind the mic stand, and became increasingly uninhibited, with each interaction eliciting deafening screams from the audience.

"Ahhhh! I can't take it anymore! I'm going to become a fan! He's so handsome!" A girl who originally came to see Zhang Yuan as a casual fan shouted excitedly.

Standing next to her, the fairy-like girl in her muddy wedding dress trembled with rage: "You traitor! What did you say?! He's just a social media influencer trying to ride on someone else's coattails, how can he compare to our brother?!"

……

Backstage access point.

Zhang Yuan's expression darkened as he watched even his own fans joining in the defection and shouting.

He probed indirectly, saying, "Mr. Shen, it seems you're quite familiar with this Lu Ci... However, don't you think he sounds too much like the original singer? Do you think it's possible that these careless staff members just released the original singer's audio..."

Zhang Yuan's words were subtly implying to Shen Man that Lu Ci was lip-syncing.

However, Shen Man seemed not to have heard him at all.

She held the bouquet of red roses tightly in her hands, staring blankly at Lu Ci on the stage.

On that aloof face, there was even an undisguised hint of tender infatuation in a smile.

Feeling humiliated and angry at being completely ignored.

How could a top influencer with tens of millions of followers across the internet be inferior to a mere internet celebrity who lip-syncs on stage?!

Zhang Yuan's face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water.

He walked straight toward the main control equipment area, which was not far from the edge of the stage.

At the control panel, several technicians were wearing listening headphones and staring at the computer screen.

"Did you guys just play the wrong backing track? Did you play the original version with vocals?" Zhang Yuan walked over and slammed his hands on the table to question him.

A staff member removed half of his earphone, saw it was Zhang Yuan, paused for a moment, then pointed to the clean audio track screen in front of him and shook his head, explaining:

"No, Teacher Zhang, it's just instrumental music."

Hearing that even professionals said this, Zhang Yuan's face turned completely dark.

"For the next song, cut off the backing track. Also, turn off his in-ear monitors!"

"ah?!"

The staff member stammered and waved their hands repeatedly, "Mr. Zhang...this...this won't do!"

Cutting off the singer's accompaniment and in-ear monitors? In an open-air music festival with tens of thousands of people, the huge echoes and noise would make it impossible for the singer to hear their own pitch and rhythm.

"What's wrong with that?" Zhang Yuan's face darkened. "Do you even want to work in this industry?"

The staff member avoided his gaze, cold sweat beading on his forehead: "Mr. Zhang, this is really against the rules! If a serious broadcast accident occurs, I, as the chief controller, will be held fully responsible!"

Seeing the other party's timid appearance, Zhang Yuan sneered.

Zhang Yuan leaned closer to him: "I'm going to be participating in a few music variety shows soon. If you do a good job for me today, I'll introduce you directly to the core teams of those provincial TV stations. What do you think?"

Upon hearing these words, the staff member shuddered, and the fear in his eyes was gradually replaced by excitement.

In this world of fame and fortune, skills can never compare to connections and resources.

If I could climb up to Zhang Yuan's coattails and jump ship to a provincial satellite TV station's music variety show team, my future income and status would absolutely skyrocket! For this opportunity, even if I were fired from Xinghan Media, it would be absolutely worth it!

The staff member gritted his teeth, hesitated for only a few seconds, and then nodded vigorously.

"Teacher Zhang, don't worry, leave it to me. My name is Wang Hao, and I hope you'll give me your guidance in the future!"

Zhang Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then gave Lu Ci on the stage one last cold glance before turning and leaving.
