Chapter 716: 284 The Newly Emerged Outlaw, Bai Lian’s Confidence!_2

But as the curtain rose, everyone was infected by the humor intertwined with tense atmosphere. Qin Si and the other actors had much better acting skills and lines than the everyday actors one sees, possessing a strong emotional contagion.

The first climax began, accompanied by the prelude to “Blossoms on the Tree,” which gradually built up to the most moving moment. As the sound of the guzheng played, not a single person in the large theater made a sound, all watching the stage with rapt attention.

The exhilarating play concluded, and in the final tailpiece, it was Qin Si’s solo, singing the theme song.

This was the highlight.

“Blossoms on the Tree” was so popular mainly because of the theme song, which is why the theater specifically arranged this segment. After the premiere, they immediately released Qin Si’s version for free on the internet.

During the two-hour performance, including Qin Si’s solo, not a single person left early. After Qin Si finished singing the theme song, she stood in the middle of the stage to take a bow.

Dressed in a bright red outfit, her hair tied back at the nape, she stood radiantly in the center of the stage.

Everyone was still immersed in the plot and the theme song, with applause that was like a tide and lasted a long while.

Backstage.

The old dean’s assistant excitedly said, “Dean, our play is a success, it’s really going to be a hit!”

Gao Shu, holding flowers, embraced Qin Si. “Congratulations, Qin Si.”

Next to them, the old dean looked at Gao Shu and nodded slightly, already making a decision in his mind.

Bai Lian had been quite busy lately. After watching the play, Gao Shu wanted to take both of them out for a meal, but she declined.

Gao Shu had no choice but to send the two of them out.

After the black business car drove off, Gao Yan finally snapped back to her senses, beginning to digest the plot she had just seen, “So, you’re saying that the theme song was composed by Lian Lian, and Dean Jian arranged it? She’s that composer who’s been incredibly popular online recently?”

When you think about it carefully, it’s not surprising.

The first time I saw Bai Lian with Dean Jian, they didn’t interact like elder and junior, but more like musical soulmates when they talked about music.

Now that I think about it, Bai Lian being that composer, and Dean Jian being the arranger, everything makes sense.

“Earlier when Secretary Xue was trying to dig up information on Bai Jian, she couldn’t find anything,” Gao Shu walked back with her. “With my nephew involved, who could possibly uncover her information?”

A successful play hinges on the actors, music, atmosphere, and set design – none can be missing.

“Blossoms on the Tree” had the best of everything, along with added halo effect. The viral “Yan Lu Bai Jian” craze from a few days ago hadn’t even subsided yet, and tonight’s plot and theme song exceeded everyone’s expectations.

After this evening, “Blossoms on the Tree” had just ended and the theme song had soared up the hot search list again.

The popularity of the song “Blossoms on the Tree” was unprecedented and more fiery than the initial drinking wager.

[Suggest everyone to experience it live for the true feel of the plot, actors, sound system, and atmosphere – it’s genuinely different listening to this song live]

[The plot is truly amazing]

[Yan Lu might still have a little hope of holding a concert, Qin Si really has no hope for that, the only chance to hear her live is in the theater, I’ve got to get ready, see you in Jiangjing for New Year’s!]

Sunday, another piece of news shocked the netizens everywhere—

“Two major corporations come to blows, Xuan Kang serves Luo Family with a court summon demanding compensation for three stores”

The news spread across various video platforms simultaneously, humorous and witty, and the comments below—

[I’m dying of laughter, I heard the agent from Xuan Kang didn’t get a scratch]

[Shouldn’t Luo Family sue them for extortion?]

[The boss of Xuan Kang said he counts his time by the second, and wasting even one second is worth tens of thousands. Forget three stores, even if they asked for ten, it would be standard negotiating [sneaky][sneaky][sneaky]]

[Guys, what’s key is that, the court actually issued the summons!]

[Damn, who’s the King Yan backing Xuan Kang? [horrified]]

[…]

Xuan Kang’s move caught Luo Pharmaceutical utterly off guard. The “acupuncture” craze hadn’t yet faded and the “three stores” meme caught fire again.

[Do you have three stores? If not, better not mess with me]

While the netizens were playing with the meme, they were curious about who was the renegade legal advisor behind Xuan Kang.

It had been really bustling in Jiangjing recently, not only because of Xuan Kang but also because the theater was on fire.

It’s not the New Year, but it feels just like it.

The upcoming Hanhai Ink Sea Four Nations Cultural Exchange event, squeezed in the middle, received a lukewarm response.

The folks from the Culture Bureau were also anxious.

Tuesday morning.

“This is the evaluation material the Calligraphy Association just brought over,” Vice Director Liang presented a new list to Dean Jian in his office, suggesting, “We should increase promotional efforts. The interest in this year’s exchange is low, everyone’s attention is on the theater and Xuan Kang.”
