Chapter 70

"Right. 'The Wheat Field' is a work I created twenty years ago. If I remember correctly, in 1987, when I recorded the 'The Wheat Field' album, you supervised the recording session for me."

Li Zongheng, who was always refined and as steady as a mountain, was now somewhat unsettled by this!

He really is that Lin Zaishan!

My goodness!

Apart from still looking a bit like the original Lin Zaishan, this middle-aged man, whether in terms of his demeanor, speech, the depth of his musical works, and most importantly, his voice, has completely changed!

Such a dramatic transformation in a person!

Even a well-informed and experienced man like Li Zongheng couldn't help but feel a strong mental shock and awe!

Recalling the 'Hill' that Lin Zaishan just sang, Li Zongheng finally understood why there was a sudden leap in the second verse.

That song is truly his life!

In an instant, Li Zongheng was overwhelmed with feelings about life and destiny.

The songs Lin Zaishan sang shocked him, but the trajectory of Lin Zaishan's life seemed to shock him even more!

Zhou Qinghua and Guan Yaling, sitting on either side of Li Zongheng, were stunned when they heard that the person was the Lin Zaishan who sang 'The Wheat Field'.

Especially Guan Yaling, her mouth was almost agape in shock!

She suspected she had heard wrong. How could this person be that notorious Lin Zaishan, the big villain?

Wasn't that guy still in prison?

How could he be standing on the stage now!

However, upon closer inspection of Lin Zaishan's appearance, Guan Yaling finally confirmed that this person really was that big villain!

Although his hair had turned white and the once hateful and terrifying aura in his brows was gone, his deep eyes had hardly changed!

No wonder she felt he looked familiar when he turned around; it was because he was Lin Zaishan!

Crazy, crazy, crazy!

—Crazy!

Her mind was in chaos!

Guan Yaling was at a loss.

How could she have turned around for this big villain? And so quickly!

This is a big problem!

This action could bring her a lot of negative publicity!

It could also bring negative publicity to their record company!

Even to her cousin!

My goodness!

What have I done!

This 28-year-old girl, who often acts in a naturally cute and innocent way, is very measured and wise when it comes to major issues!

She knows what to do and what not to do!

In this industry, some lines must never be crossed!

Some villains must not be approached casually, or it will certainly affect others!

How could she have encountered Lin Zaishan, this big villain!

Struggling to maintain a calm expression, Guan Yaling secretly glanced at her agent to see what her reaction was.

Guan Yaling's agent, He Miao, is the same age as Guan Yaling and is also a well-endowed woman. She may not be as beautiful as Guan Yaling, but she has much more experience.

At this moment, realizing that the middle-aged man on stage was the notorious Lin Zaishan, He Miao's mind was also in a daze!

Next to He Miao stood Zhou Qinghua's agent, known as "Uncle Wen," Wen Zhiming, and Luo Benxiong's agent, "Sister SAM," Yang Jing.

These two experienced senior agents were also momentarily stunned!

But in an instant, their eyes blazed with anger!

What is Oriental TV doing!

Why didn't they inform them in advance that they were inviting such a villain to the show!

Isn't this just bringing negative publicity to their artists!

Fortunately, Brother Li Zongheng asked about the person's identity; otherwise, their artists might have interacted with Lin Zaishan even more!

He Miao, with a fiery temper, was about to roll up her sleeves and confront Park Dae-cheng after realizing the severity of the situation!

Guo Entertainment's Butterfly Records, which sent Guan Yaling to 'The Singer,' did not take this show as seriously as the other three major record companies.

The other three major record companies had motives to discover and promote new singers through this show.

Butterfly Records also sent a new singer to participate, but their main motive was to promote Guan Yaling and build her popularity as a mentor.

Now, in the first recording, Oriental TV had pulled a fast one on them, bringing out a notorious villain to disgust them, causing Guan Yaling to turn around for Lin Zaishan. If this goes badly, it could become a black mark and be criticized by netizens for a long time!

They didn't gain any popularity, but instead got negative publicity. How could He Miao let this happen!

"Little sister, calm down. Let's wait until the recording is over before we confront them."

Seeing He Miao's rage, Yang Jing calmed her down, preventing her from causing a scene.

"Sister SAM, they can't do this! Isn't this just bringing negative publicity to our artists? How could they invite such a person to the show without telling us in advance! Are they playing with us?"

Yang Jing smiled bitterly, at a loss for words.

Wen Zhiming, suppressing his anger, glanced at Park Dae-cheng, who was looking at them furtively.

Park Dae-cheng quickly averted his gaze, as if he hadn't seen him, which made Wen Zhiming even angrier!

Wen Zhiming gritted his teeth, "Oriental TV is playing a dirty game this time. If this person joins any team, that team will be in trouble."

Yang Jing and He Miao clenched their teeth, wishing their artists hadn't turned around for Lin Zaishan, to avoid the risk of accepting him.

But even if there was a risk of accepting Lin Zaishan, they were secretly thinking of ways to confront the production team. No matter what, their artists would not accept such a controversial participant.

On the mentor chairs, Luo Benxiong, after confirming that the middle-aged man was the notorious Lin Zaishan, became tight-lipped and reluctant to speak.

This Lin Zaishan, in the public eye, is even more despicable and terrifying than a murderer!

Interacting with such a person carries too much risk. The new rock guru, who prides himself on his humanistic spirit, would never take such a risk and bring negative publicity to himself.

Zhou Qinghua, who had been leading the show, is a savvy insider who knows how to adapt to different situations.

Originally, he guessed that the white-haired man on stage was an ace up the sleeve of the Arrow Target team, aligned with Li Zongheng.

Now that Lin Zaishan's identity was revealed, Zhou Qinghua was completely stunned! Is this person from the Arrow Target team? Brother Li, say something!

After Li Zongheng asked his question, he began to reflect on life, entering his own little world and falling silent.

The production team didn't stop the show.

Zhou Qinghua had to save the scene, forcing a laugh and asking Lin Zaishan, "If I remember correctly, Little Lin, you've been missing for a long time. Have you been making music all these years?"

"Yes, I have never given up on my music dream."

"Oh—"

Rarely, Zhou Qinghua found himself at a loss for words, unsure what to say to Lin Zaishan.

Seeing that the other mentors were silent, Zhou Qinghua had to turn to the easiest target, Guan Yaling: "Teacher Yaling, when Lin Zaishan sang 'The Wheat Field' and became famous, you were still in elementary school, right?"

"Um, yes..."

Guan Yaling responded softly, not daring to say more, for fear of causing trouble for the company.

The audience was starting to get restless.

The originally lively atmosphere, after Lin Zaishan's appearance, turned the mentors into wooden figures. What happened!

Many people had forgotten who Lin Zaishan was, but after asking around, they learned that this white-haired man was the notorious villain, the scum of the rock scene, the violent thug, Lin Zaishan!

Many audience members immediately changed from admiration or even worship to surprise, disdain, and even aversion.

Around Bai Ge and her friends, many audience members were discussing, saying that Lin Zaishan was a scumbag and that he had just been released from prison. Some even speculated, "No wonder his hair is white; it must have turned white in prison!"

Since the production team had collected all the audience's phones before the recording to prevent secret recordings, the audience couldn't look up Lin Zaishan's real information online and could only spread rumors based on their memories.

Bai Ge, Lu Chen, and the five believers, hearing others talk about Lin Zaishan in such a way, felt a sharp pain in their ears!

Before the recording, Lin Zaishan had specifically instructed his friends and family: after he appeared, no matter what others said about him, defamed him, or insulted him, they should not respond, not explain anything, and let others talk.

Bai Ge understood what Lin Zaishan meant. From a media psychology perspective, as a public figure, when the public is defaming you, it's best to endure it and not argue, as it could make things worse.

Now, hearing the audience fabricate false accusations against Lin Zaishan, Bai Ge's small body trembled with anger. She clenched her teeth, staring at her father on the stage, taking deep breaths to control her anger and not argue with those people.

She also tightly held Lu Chen's large fist, afraid he would act impulsively.

Lu Chen was so angry that his stomach was swelling, grinding his teeth and cursing the gossips' ancestors.

The production team did not anticipate such a cold atmosphere.

Previously, Kui Yu and the story team had discussed with Lin Zaishan how to handle a cold atmosphere and how to interact with the mentors to avoid awkwardness.

But they had expected the mentors to still engage with Lin Zaishan.

Now, not a single mentor was speaking to Lin Zaishan!

Even the usually talkative Zhou Qinghua was at a loss!

The atmosphere was so awkward it was freezing!

Park Dae-cheng was almost driven mad!

How could the atmosphere, which was so lively just a moment ago, suddenly become so cold?

Are the mentors so wary of Lin Zaishan?

Apart from Guan Yaling, the other three are superstars in the industry!

They shouldn't be afraid of Lin Zaishan bringing them negative publicity!

Do they all have a grudge against Lin Zaishan?

Can't they give him a hand?

For the sake of music, can't they give him a hand?

Are people in this industry so heartless!
