The Rebirth of a Diva

Episode 28's

MV has stopped appearing on the screen.

In the recording studio, the female host dressed in a formal dress and smiling pretently interviewed Xia Yu, who was standing next to her, with a microphone in hand. He started with a long series of praise for Xia Yu, fluently peppering Xia Yu with kind words about her and her appearance. He then continued to read the comments received from the audience outside the studio, all of which came from enthusiastic fans promoting Xia Yu's music. Many say that they camped in front of their computers all night to be in line on the company's official website, just to make sure that they will be able to buy a copy of the limited edition album released the next day.

Imperial Entertainment was generous with their publicity budget when honing new stars, so Xia Yu did not have to worry about her popularity.

Xia Yu smiled gracefully under the spotlight and expressed her utmost gratitude to the audience for their support and how shocked she was for the kind response. The protected and elegant image, was completely different from the one that allowed Chu Chen to berate the veteran singer past his prime.

On the VIP panel, some of the panelists gave Xia Yu the encouragement and praise she considered appropriate. After all, it was not difficult to see that Xia Yu was the artist that Imperial Entertainment pushed hard into the limelight. None of them were interested in offending Imperial Entertainment, who was a big player in the industry.

Moreover, Xia Yu's song was indeed riveting.

Wei Shaoyin was an exception. His lips curled slightly as he sneered, "The lyrics and music aren't too bad. The film team is also trying hard for the MV."

Xia Ling, sitting in the makeup room backstage, heard this and knew in her heart that this was not a good move. He narrowed his eyes and slowly drank a mouthful of lemon water.

The female host did not catch the tone of Wei Shaoyin's statement. He smiled and continued, "Yes, Mr. Wei. This song was produced by Feng Kun, who is considered in the industry to be on par with you. It must be something." As he spoke, he turned his gaze back to Xia Yu. "Xia Yu also did a great job in her song delivery. We received a lot of calls from audiences outside the studio saying they were touched by the song. For a new singer, this is an incredible feat."

A perfect smile spread on Xia Yu's beautiful face as she humbly received the praise in a soft voice.

The female host returned to Wei Shaoyin, asking, "Master. Wei, do you want to give some comments about Xia Yu's singing? I guess you have a lot to say to this promising newcomer to the scene."

In the backstage makeup room, Xia Ling kicked her shoes and folded her legs onto the sofa to get a more comfortable position. He secretly offered his condolences to the female host. The biggest mistake this female host made was that this was her first time hosting Wei Shaoyin, and not knowing that she was a picky and obnoxious person. In this period that Xia Ling spent with Wei Shaoyin, she knew that he was a very difficult person. Every time he showed that creepy smile on his face someone would be in deep trouble.

As expected, the sneer in his voice became clearer.

"Do you really want me to comment?" He looked towards Xia Yu with a sinister smile on his face.

Xia Yu was obviously more sensitive than the female host and could detect something was up from Wei Shaoyin's attitude. A glint of unease flashed across his face. However, his pride would not let him back down in the face of challenges from top producers.

She smiled brightly on her beautiful face, saying, "I've heard from a long time ago that Mr. Wei and Feng Kun are gold-class producers in the industry, and have very high singer standards. I'm so impressed that you won't easily comment on the singer. "These words were an obscure compliment to Wei Shaoyin, while still showing his high standards and decisiveness, he said, which would allow him not to lose face should anything bad be said about him. He continued, "To accept your advice would be my honor."

Wei Shaoyin simply shook his fingers and said, "No, you don't need my advice."

Wei Shaoyin simply shook his fingers and said, "No, you don't need my advice."

Shock and confusion is on everyone's face.

He continued, "If there was something to say, Feng Kun might have already told you. I can only say that you are so brave for daring to sing this song."

Xia Yu obviously did not expect him to say this. His face was a little pale, he asked, "I .. I don't understand what you mean by that Mr. Wei."

Wei Shaoyin laughed coldly. "You want me to say it more clearly? I'm sorry, I don't give advice to people who don't know anything and wait for death."

"You ..." Xia Yu wanted to say something but decided not to as she bit her lip. Tears entered his eyes and threatened to fall.

Thinking back, Xia Ling had been deceived by this pitiful expression many times. Today, when she was watching Xia Yu's show, she discovered that she could remain calm. Simply watch as an observer, not affected at all.

Wei Shaoyin was completely unaffected as he lowered his head for tea.

The female host could only laugh in embarrassment as she tried to save the situation, changing the subject abruptly.

The debut appearance of the new singer that Imperial Entertainment painstakingly worked for to craft has now been heavily discounted with Wei Shaoyin's damaging statement.

Xia Ling moved her fingers lightly on the edge of the glass she was holding. He wondered if Feng Kun had any regrets? If she attended a year-end music event, the broadcast station would not go to great lengths to invite Wei Shaoyin. And if Wei Shaoyin was not present, the situation at play would not occur. The result now was that the new singer promoted by Imperial Entertainment had been publicly humiliated on stage.

However. . .

His fingers stopped suddenly. Feng Kun was careful and meticulous in his work. When she debuted, she was almost always by her side, attending every event she attended. He would explain the concept of each song to the media in detail, fearing that he would be thrown off by any situation.

Why with Xia Yu would she miss something as important as her debut?

As he pondered this question, the recording studio had already changed events.

Wei Shaoyin returned to the dressing room as if he had taken a huge load off his shoulders. "It's finally finished. A heavy duty! I'm definitely not coming next year." He was an invited VIP for the first half of the show. Now that the first half is over, he will not appear in the second half of the program.

Xia Ling reluctantly got up from the small sofa and poured her a glass of ice water. He said, "For others, you are the hardest thing."

He looked at her, his face confused.

He breathed and asked. "Xia Yu."

He thought for a moment and suddenly reacted. "Oh, are you talking about that debut song? He searched for death by singing Feng Kun's song."

"You don't have to be so direct for her debut appearance."

“Hmph.” He drank the mouth from the ice water and glanced at the base of his pants. "You can't blame me. Nothing from Imperial Entertainment is good."

Oh my, he still holds a grudge. Xia Ling could not help but sympathize with Xia Yu. He was truly unlucky to have met this small and vengeful Virgo man.

“You need not feel sorry for Xia Yu,” Wei Shaoyin glanced at Xia Ling, her face full of contempt. "For his own good, I was being rude to him today. If he was clever he would give up on Feng Kun. If he continues down this path, one day he will find himself in deep trouble."

Xia Ling was silent.

Wei Shaoyin is right. The song Xia Yu sung, although grand and could push her to fame, had a hidden frightening problem. If she chooses to avoid trouble, it will ultimately ruin her singing career.

What made Xia Ling uncomfortable was that for a matter of this proportion, it was impossible for Feng Kun not to see it. Given his meticulous nature, it was impossible for him not to tell Xia Yu. But Xia Yu still insisted on singing this song. Why that?
