Huayu98: Starting with mentoring pop divas

Finally, the formal segment began, and Chang Fei steered the conversation towards Fan Xiaoxuan.

All the hosts and guests began promoting her new album, "Darling," in a lighthearted and humorous manner.

Then Fan Xiaoxuan stood in the center of the stage and talked about her mindset in transitioning from the "children's song" persona.

The background of the songs on the new album was also introduced.

Li Shuo also occasionally mentioned that he had listened to the new album and gave it a very good review…

Actually, the albums he bought by Fan Xiaoxuan were still in his previous life... he didn't bring them with him.

Then Kong Qiang's piano music began, the prelude to "Digital Love".

"3111530 means 'I miss you'! 520 means 'I love you'! 000 means 'I want to kiss you'..."

She seemed to be in good spirits while singing this song, singing and laughing as she pleased, and guiding the atmosphere.

Li Shuo, who was listening to this "sweet song" that left a deep impression on him, watched from the side with a sentimental feeling.

But you could tell that Fan Xiaoxuan wasn't fully alert.

A purely "business model"...

He was smiling, but there was a hidden "cement color" about him.

Li Shuo sighed inwardly and had some ideas... Perhaps he could find an opportunity to "deal with" it on the spot?

If things go well... you might even be able to win a prize right away?

After the song ended, the applause subsided.

Zhang Fei noticed that the main guest, Fan Xiaoxuan, wasn't in a good mood today, so he suddenly turned the conversation to Li Shuo.

"Hey Li Shuo, the way you were looking at me just now, you kept glancing towards Xiaoxuan."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuo chuckled and readily admitted it.

"Brother Fei, this is my 'goddess' from elementary school. What's wrong with taking a few more glances?"

The audience erupted in cheers.

Fan Xiaoxuan saw that it was Li Shuo, whom she had a good impression of all day, who said this, and that cute "little witch" vibe returned a bit.

She cooperated by acting shy, covering her face with her hands and hiding behind Fei Yu-ching.

I initially thought it was just her natural way of creating a variety show effect, but actually, her ears were already red, which couldn't be hidden under her newly cut buzz cut.

I don't know what happened today.

From the moment Li Shuo appeared, he gradually attracted her attention.

Chang Fei chimed in, "Li Shuo, you said Xiao Xuan is your 'goddess,' and you talked about your new album so eloquently, why don't you sing a song for me?"

Li Shuo chuckled upon hearing this… Isn’t this a gift of a “pillow”?

"Sure!"

"Really? Xiaoxuan's new album songs really require a certain level of skill to handle?"

Zhang Fei pretended not to believe it.

"Then sing one! Sing your favorite song from the new album! If Fan Xiaoxuan approves of your singing, then we won't set up any challenges for you during your performance time... and you can sing it quietly."

Fei Yu-ching chimed in from the side, "This deal is a good one."

Kang Kang chimed in, "When Alex To came before... he dressed up as Bruce Lee and sang while wielding nunchucks... I just saw the treadmill the props prepared for you~ hehe."

Li Shuo looked at Fan Xiaoxuan.

Fan Xiaoxuan didn't say anything, but unconsciously wore a mischievous "little witch" smile, but more than that, she looked expectant.

Li Shuo smiled and walked confidently to the center of the stage.

Kong Qiang gave him an inquiring look.

Li Shuo thought for a moment and politely lent him a guitar.

A simple sound check... a "City pop" chord arrangement is played.

"Darling, would you...?"

Without any backing vocals, Fan Xiaoxuan sang the album's title track entirely with her vocals.

When the first sentence was uttered, the audience fell silent... Why did everyone seem to sense a feeling of comfort in it?

Her voice was pure, yet possessed an indescribable gentleness.

The word "Darling" was pronounced softly, as if asking for an answer, or as if revealing a secret.

After singing the chorus, Li Shuo seemed to fall silent.

Just when everyone thought he was about to finish singing that short segment of Fan Xiaoxuan's song, he started singing again.

Fan Xiaoxuan was already listening attentively, and now she discovered that Li Shuo had actually come up with an impromptu verse based on her song—

Pisces women are all very fickle.

Only your love for music has never changed.

Now that I see you

I'm so nervous, what should I do...?

At the very last sentence, Li Shuo suddenly paused, switching to a short recitation.

Then the mood lifted!

Because you are Fan Xiaoxuan

Therefore you need to succeed.

POPstar POPstar

In the middle of the stage

Sing your song ten thousand times, ten thousand times.

Follow your heart and move forward!

The accompaniment fades out and stops.

Li Shuo slightly modified the lyrics of "Because You Are Fan Xiaoxuan" from Liu Wei's "The Voice of China" and sang it here.

In just a few dozen seconds, Fan Xiaoxuan's pupils dilated in shock.

Does Li Shuo really understand her current situation and struggle?

There was a moment of silence in the audience, followed by applause and whispered exclamations of admiration.

Zhang Fei clapped his hands and walked over: "Great! Excellent! Was this an impromptu creation? The emotion in the lyrics and the arrangement are very good!"

Don't underestimate Chang Fei's musical appreciation skills as a variety show "big brother"... he's truly multi-talented!

Not to mention his younger brother Fei Yu-ching, who also has profound musical talent, gave him high praise.

"The singing style is great, and the emotions are very fitting... This is a true fan of Hsiao-Hsuan."

Kang Kang also keenly signaled to the director... that the mechanical treadmill didn't need to be brought up.

Fan Xiaoxuan was still in a daze, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

Those chaotic emotions seemed to have been soothed a little?

Judging from her reaction, Li Shuo had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

It was worth the comforting effect of the "Voice of Light" he borrowed from Natalie Portman.

I thought I could just enter the lottery directly, but it seems I'll have to work harder.

Zhang Fei deliberately asked Fan Xiaoxuan, "Xiaoxuan, are we not going to use the treadmill equipment anymore?!"

Fan Xiaoxuan looked at Zhang Fei, then at Li Shuo, and nodded.

"Of course not, I'd also like to listen to Li Shuo's work."

She is now looking forward to seeing what kind of work this handsome and talented "junior" will prepare.

The audience and the hosts joined in the commotion, eager to see just how capable the young man who had been brought in by the Warner chairman to cut in line was.

Li Shuo originally prepared a Hokkien song, which was down-to-earth and would become quite popular in Taiwan... and it has been covered many times since then.

But after looking at Fan Xiaoxuan, he changed his mind.

He walked to the prepared electric piano and sat down.

The prelude is soothing and has a contemplative tone.

Tanya Chua's "Darwin".

Fan Xiaoxuan froze upon hearing the first part.

I love the style of this song!

There's such a word?

Looking at Li Shuo singing and playing the guitar.

My youth wasn't without its scars.

It means understanding that love is an extension of faith.

She remembered her father who didn't want her.

"Staying single makes it hard to resist falling in love again"

Going around in circles and waiting in vain.

She recalled the company's lack of understanding of her career transition, the fans she had lost, and the depression she felt after the market cooled down.

There was competition and sacrifice.

The process of being loved

Learn to be diligent and loyal

Only the fittest survive.

She remembered why she had persisted.

"Knowing that we will always be needed"

"Evolve into a better person"

This sentence suddenly revealed that what she wanted was to follow her heart and evolve.

The last note faded.

The audience members, including students from Taiwan's Formosa University, reacted even more enthusiastically than before.

Chang Fei glanced at Fei Yu-ching, his eyes revealing something. This young man is quite impressive!

Fei Yu-ching nodded without speaking, but his eyes were gentle... He was also surprised that his brother hadn't told him any of those "hehehe" jokes today.

Fan Xiaoxuan stood there, watching Li Shuo stand up from the piano bench.

The song, the lyrics, it's as if this young man is speaking to her.

You're not wrong, keep going.

She suddenly felt less tightness in her chest.

Even though only this handsome young man who suddenly appeared gave her affirmation, she seemed quite content.

Just some strange, fragmented thoughts started popping into my head—

He's tall, handsome, and musically talented. I remember there was a song he auditioned for; I wonder what it felt like after the lyrics were written...

But isn't he too tall? She's only about 1.5 meters tall, standing next to him, doesn't she look so short...?

As she thought about it, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

Her assistant, waiting beside her, seemed a bit odd. What's wrong with this woman who's been so sullen these past few days? Why is she suddenly acting so goofy?

Li Shuo received feedback in his consciousness.

[Reward: 10 tangible rewards for the positive connection with actress Fan Xiaoxuan]

[Start drawing rewards: Confirm/No]

Phew~ Finally.

It was quite late when the recording ended.

Zhou Jianhui received Zhang Xiaoyan's reply, confirming that he would be going to "Super Sunday" next. He and Li Shuo walked and talked about their upcoming schedule, while Fan Xiaoxuan quickened her pace to catch up.

"Jay Chou".

Zhou Jianhui turned around.

Fan Xiaoxuan glanced at Li Shuo and said, "I think Li Shuo would be suitable for CTV's 'Guess Guess Guess,' especially the 'Newcomer Report' segment. It happens to be hosted by my sister, so I can ask if it's possible to arrange it."

The sister she was referring to was Barbie Hsu (Da S), who had recently taken on the role of host for the show "Guess Guess Guess".

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jianhui's eyes lit up: "That's great! I really don't know how to thank you enough..."

Fan Xiaoxuan stared at Li Shuo: "Why don't you treat me to something to eat? I was just thinking of chatting with this young man about music."

Li Shuo glanced at her and smiled, "Okay."

Before Zhou Jianhui could react, Fan Xiaoxuan had already pulled Li Shuo outside.

He stood there, watching their figures disappear at the end of the corridor.

no……

Aren't you taking me with you?

Zhou Jianhui's mind was a bit of a mess.

This kid's just starting out, I hope he doesn't cause any trouble!

However, Fan Xiaoxuan has always had a good reputation... so there shouldn't be anything wrong with her.

Besides, the atmosphere here in Taiwan is alright... It's nice to have some topics to discuss, but don't take it too seriously, kid!
