Chapter 131: Chapter 131 ’The Dislocated Space-Time of the May Fourth Version

Xiao Yi knew that Beijing TV Station would definitely hold a grudge against the artists from Tianwei Entertainment.

It wasn’t like there were going to be serious consequences; their boss indeed had some background, so Beijing TV Station wouldn’t just ban their company’s artists over such a trifle, at most, they would simply stop inviting them to their programs.

This wouldn’t affect him much, since he was already a top-tier celebrity.

But who would be happy to be hit by such an unwarranted disaster?

He was already pissed off that the stupid boss wanted to sign Wu Mu, and now Wu Mu had rejected him, causing him to get implicated as well?

Not to mention, the internet was now abuzz with rumors of him being a servant in the company!

He truly hadn’t expected that bastard to leave no room for manoeuvre and irresponsibly expose everything online.

Xiao Yi’s face was as grim as water as he glared at Wu Mu, wishing he could punch a few holes in him.

Sun Zhichun, another young heartthrob standing nearby, looked like he was keeping his cool, but inside, he was secretly enjoying the drama.

Fight, fight!

Best if they ended up with a bloodied head; that would mean two less competitors in the industry.

With these two scheming people around, it was odd if the atmosphere in the resting room would be good.

Wu Mu, on the other hand, looked indifferent.

These kinds of evening galas didn’t film backstage, so there was no TV to watch the live front stage, and just sitting around waiting was undeniably boring.

Fortunately, the wait wasn’t too long.

Beijing TV Station, after all, took into account the impact of a potential scandal and didn’t dare to assign them a particularly important slot, instead placing their segment in an inconspicuous early time slot.

"Three teachers, you’re about to go on stage!" announced the vice-director of the gala, gesturing at the other staff members, "Quick, quick, quick, let’s do one final check for any issues!"

After ensuring that everything was in order, the three of them headed to the entrance of the stage to wait.

Soon, the front stage host began her introduction.

"The next few singers are quite impressive; they represent the young generation of our motherland. The combined age of the three is exactly sixty-seven years. These young people also have something to say to their predecessors."

"Please welcome Xiao Yi, Xu Zhichun, and Wu Mu."

The three walked onto the stage together.

Ah, all looking serious, even Wu Mu.

He wouldn’t dream of being so crazy as to make a scene at such an event; this wasn’t a variety show.

But they weren’t too stern either, their eyes still keenly observing the situation under the stage.

The audience and guests at the venue were also numerous, around five to six hundred people, and unlike the predominantly young audience on variety shows before, it was clear that the majority here were above fifty.

These older guests didn’t seem to recognize or show much interest in the three young idols, offering polite applause in line with the program recording.

Du Xingguo, seated at an inconspicuous table on the edge of the venue, lost interest upon seeing such young stars. After a quick glance, he was about to continue his previous conversation with Hu Qing.

However, Lin Qingyue reminded him, "Hey, Grandpa, this might be interesting."

Du Xingguo perked up, "You’ve seen it?"

Lin Qingyue laughed, "No, but I reckon it should be good."

Hu Qing also joined in with a smile, "Qingyue, is there someone you fancy?"

As he spoke, he looked inquiringly towards Xiong Guanglin.

Being the chief director, he was not in charge of the detailed execution of tasks, so he wasn’t fully aware of the program’s specifics.

Xiong Guanglin did understand that Lin Qingyue was referring to Wu Mu, but... he hesitated slightly.

He had seen Wu Mu’s rehearsal before as well. Although Wu Mu had sung quite well, it didn’t seem particularly stunning. Now, if he hyped it up too much and couldn’t live up to the expectation later, it would be awkward.

After a moment’s hesitation, he finally said with caution, "This song is pretty good."

Hu Qing didn’t know what went through his mind and still said with a smile, "Then we should take a good look."

Du Xingguo also cast an interested glance toward the stage.

Onstage, the instrumental accompaniment had started to play, and as it did, the stage screen began to display well-edited scenic visuals.

The grey landscape of the motherland appeared before the audience.

Wu Mu stood beneath the grey landscape of the motherland, silently activating all the emotion and newly acquired Space-time Singer skills in his heart.

Looking at the less-than-enthusiastic audience below him, he followed the beat and slowly began to sing.

"That year, you were the same age as me."

"Young as a song still unripe."

"But to create that new world in your dreams,"

"You turned and briskly walked into the storm."

The audience below the stage was instantly stunned.

Du Xingguo and Hu Qing, even Xiong Guanglin, were all taken aback.

The skill effect of a Space-time Singer is to make one feel immersed while singing songs about time and space.

What does it mean to be immersed?

It means that the very instant he began to sing, people like Du Xingguo could actually envisage a scene of a young revolutionary, embracing a heart full of hot-blooded sincerity, resolutely stepping into the storm.

Couple that with the wave of emotion that was conveyed from the moment he sang, more sensitive audience members already started to feel a blockage in their hearts.

Even more shocked than the audience were Wu Mu’s two choir teammates by his side.

As Wu Mu began to sing, the expressions on the faces of Xiao Yi and Xu Zhichun, who had maintained faint smiles, immediately froze.

According to the stage design, they weren’t supposed to look at Wu Mu at this point, but they couldn’t help themselves and unconsciously turned their gaze toward him!

This wasn’t right.

This was completely different from the rehearsal!

During the previous rehearsals, they did sense that Wu Mu’s singing was much better than theirs, but after the production team had adjusted the audio, they didn’t feel any overwhelming disparity.

But now...

Damn it!

This guy had tricked them!

As the rhythm reached his part, Xiao Yi strained to suppress the chaos in his heart and tried hard to start singing.

"I see thousands of lovable you, turning your back heading deep into the smoke of gunfire..."

He forcibly tried to maintain his composure, but when his eyes caught the audience frowning immediately after he began, his mindset almost shattered instantly.

His mind buzzed, feeling blank.

He couldn’t help the beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

Xu Zhichun, beside him, saw this too, feeling immense pressure, but the rhythm of the song didn’t give them a chance to adjust—Xiao Yi finished and it was his turn.

Struggling not to look at the audience, he tried to keep his voice steady as he began, "I gaze upon the starry skies you once did, traveling through a hundred years of time and space..."

Below the stage, Du Xingguo was even less able to restrain himself. His brows furrowed as he turned to Xiong Guanglin, "What kind of singing is this?"

The first two lines were so good, so immersive, so why did it completely fall apart at the second line?

It was even more discomforting than if it had been bad from the start.

It was like watching a movie, just getting into it, and suddenly someone starts yelling in your ear.
