Love Variety Show: The despised me exploded in popularity

The entertainment circle and the music industry are completely different trades, even offending a drama crew doesn't matter much. Xu Qingyan doesn't rely on releasing songs to make money, so it basically doesn't affect him.

As for the drama crew, they probably lost quite a bit of RMB in this wave of public opinion.

A word from the staff, and the drama crew evaporated ten million.

Even so, she still made a phone call to Xu Qingyan. Xu Qingyan chatted with her on the phone for a while, and Lin Wanzhou finally felt at ease.

That night, Qi Ting was browsing variety shows in the living room and came across an interview program.

Seeing that familiar face, she was taken aback.

Almost reflexively, she immediately stood up and ran to Lin Wanzhou's room, knocking on the door. Knock knock knock, a voice came from inside.

"Come in."

"Sister Zhou Zhou, did you see Teacher Xu's interview?"

"Yeah, I'm watching it." Lin Wanzhou was sitting on the bed with a tablet in front of her, the screen clearly showing the live broadcast from "Ling Listen."

In the live screen, Xu Qingyan made his entrance, chatting leisurely with the female host Chen Ling as he walked into the recording studio. It was a spacious recording studio, with a few musical instruments laid out.

Chen Ling: "Want to play a bit? We've prepared a guitar for you."

"Alright, but I've got to say, I'm not good at playing the guitar." Xu Qingyan laughed as he took the guitar and, after a brief compose, played "Qing Tian."

A few lines later, a transition.

In the screen, the two sat face to face, with Xu Qingyan in a minimalist-style high-back chair, maintaining a certain distance from the female host, Chen Ling.

Under the lighting, the contour of the figures appeared soft.

Qi Ting sat on the edge of the bed, "Sister Zhou Zhou, this female host seems easy to talk to."

"Mhm." Lin Wanzhou responded.

The novel interview format attracted many viewers, with comments flying across the live stream channel.

On the screen, Chen Ling adjusted herself slightly and quickly got into the groove.

Her tone was gentle, and her expression was tender, but the questions she asked caught everyone by surprise.

"Everyone says you're so young, it's impossible for you to write those profound lyrics. Some also suspect you've bought songs to create hype."

"Who are these people?" he asked.

"Netizens."

"The concept of netizens is too broad; there are as many Hamlets as there are people." Xu Qingyan said earnestly, "It's impossible for everyone to like me, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong."

Chen Ling asked, "Are you someone who is easily criticized? Or would you say you know your actions might be seen as attention-seeking?"

"I'm a newcomer who's been in the industry for only two months, and I don't need everyone's approval." He said candidly, "The world should allow the existence of imperfect people and imperfect works."

"Some say you only write songs for two top female singers?" Chen Ling asked.

"It's not that I only write for them, but when I was completely unknown, no one paid me any attention. Only they believed in me and sang my songs."

"Are you afraid of running out of creativity?" Chen Ling asked softly.

"Like Pei Muchan or Lin Wanzhou. Some netizens think they've run out of creativity; that the songs they write now aren't as good as before."

Hearing this, Xu Qingyan pondered for two or three seconds before replying.

"Creativity itself is a process of cultivating the desire to express. You can't say they've exhausted their talents. Perhaps it's because I know them; it's a dilemma nearly every singer-songwriter will face."

"The ancients say to see oneself truly, one needs to return to one's own 'time zone' to be free of anxiety."

"Regarding running out of creativity, I haven't encountered that yet. After all, I've just started and written a few mediocre songs. To be honest, it's a bit like showing off one's slight skill before an expert."

"If one day my creativity does run dry, I'll just live as I should. The world won't be affected if it's short one songwriter's work."

In the screen, comments were flying.

"Wow, this host's questions are so sharp, she really dares to ask!"

"Xu Qingyan's responses are pretty sincere too; you can hear that every word comes from the heart. He speaks openly, joined a love reality show just to make money, haha."

"Chen Ling asks controversial questions, but if the interviewee responds openly, the questions don't seem very aggressive. It's when they dodge and hide that the questions seem sharper."

"Through the screen, you can feel Teacher Xu's honesty. It's rare to see someone with such a healthy mindset despite sudden fame. Haha, just a newcomer who has written eight beautiful songs."

"Nowadays the atmosphere is too extravagant; after coming down from a love reality show, many people go on to live streaming and selling products, right? I remember that guy who had an affair; he also started selling products afterwards."

"I find Teacher Xu really clear-headed; he sees things so clearly."

The interview continued, a full hour and ten minutes. Chen Ling and Xu Qingyan talked about a lot, including their experience on the love reality show, the sudden fame, and even the relationships with the two top female singers.

He answered each question, without any intention of avoiding the main points.

It was then that the netizens realized that he really knew Lin Wanzhou since childhood. They also learned about the series of smear campaigns they had faced under the stage of "I Am the Song King."

In just two months, they had been working hard to perfect their craft, not for mere fame.

This honesty won over the viewers watching the program as well as nearly all the audience in front of the TV; no one dislikes earnest and hardworking people.

At the same time, netizens also realized a question.

"Wait, no one asked? So... from the time they left the love reality show, Teacher Xu, Zhouzhou, and Sister Pei never broke contact?"

"Finally someone brought it up, I wanted to ask too, is this considered leaving the love reality show?"

"I believe that the love reality show hasn't ended yet, the real world is just another part of their play!"
