DAEYTT ## Chapter 049: I Believe! He's Not a Threat Yet!
Liu Jifeng sat backstage, listening to Wang Qian's song, feeling like he could burst with excitement and wanted to jump on stage and dance to release his emotions!
But he held back.
He took out his phone and started browsing.
He discovered that news about the Haidilao boss performing at a mall in Shanghai had already appeared on Weibo.
Many audience members who were present had posted photos and videos on various online platforms, attracting some attention.
Although it hadn't become a hot topic yet, quite a few people were already paying attention.
Combined with their film crew's promotional efforts, Liu Jifeng felt much better and less pessimistic about the movie's box office prospects. He was filled with motivation.
He believed he would also have the chance to stand in the center of a bigger stage in the future.
Zhao Lei was also looking at the promotional situation on his phone, discussing it with Li He.
"We can increase the promotion focusing on Wang Qian to boost the movie's popularity!" Zhao Lei suggested. "Wang Qian is very topical right now. His songs are all hits. If a big company had backed him, he would've already topped the new song charts. Li Qingyao's new song can't compete."
"But our production company can use some resources to help Wang Qian and promote our movie through him!"
Li He thought for a moment, looking at the overwhelmingly positive comments about Wang Qian on his phone screen, and said softly, "I'll discuss it with the company."
Zhao Lei nodded, looking back at Wang Qian. "It's a pity we found him a bit late! If we had bundled our promotions with him from the start, our movie would have garnered much more attention!"
They stopped talking and focused on the stage where Wang Qian was the center of attention.
The song's lyrics, filled with hope and confidence, resonated with everyone listening.
"I believe in freedom, I believe in hope."
"I believe I can reach out and touch the sky."
"With you by my side, life is refreshed."
"Every moment is wonderfully exciting..."
"I do believe!"
"Oh..."
"I believe... (I am myself...)"
"I believe... (Freedom...)"
"I believe..."
"I do believe!"
"I believe I am myself, I believe in tomorrow..."
"I believe youth has no horizon."
"At the sunset beach, on the bustling street."
"These are the most beautiful places in my heart..."
"I believe in freedom, I think of you, I think of hope."
"I believe I can reach out and touch the sky."
"With you by my side, life is refreshed..."
"Every moment is wonderfully exciting..."
"I do believe!"
"Oh... ah..."
Wang Qian, holding the microphone, shouted out the last note with all his might, embodying boundless youthful energy and vitality.
Then, the music stopped!
The entire venue was silent for a second.
Then, applause gradually began!
The applause grew louder and louder.
From the stage, it spread to the surrounding area.
The entire floor.
The entire building!
The applause was thunderous, almost as if it was going to blow the mall's roof off.
"Boss..."
"Boss..."
"Boss..."
Among the crowd, someone started calling out the fans' nickname for Wang Qian.
The rhythm started.
Endlessly!
Everyone joined in the chant.
Most people didn't know why everyone was calling out "boss," but they still followed along and shouted loudly.
"Boss..."
"Boss..."
"Boss..."
Not only from inside the mall.
The voices also came from outside the mall.
There were over a thousand people gathered under the big screen at the mall entrance, joining in the chant.
The sound waves rolled in.
Wang Qian stood on stage, his blood boiling, still immersed in the essence of the song. He exuded the unique energy of youth, his eyes scanning the dense crowd below, seeing those faces calling out "boss" with admiration in their eyes.
One face stood out in the crowd, and Wang Qian's gaze fixed on it.
## Chapter 049: I Believe! He's Not a Threat Yet!
Qin Xue Rong was standing about ten meters away from the stage, waving excitedly at Wang Qian and shouting "boss" along with everyone else, her face red with emotion, her eyes fixed on Wang Qian, unwilling to look away for a moment.
Wang Qian felt a surge of pride in his heart. He immediately took the microphone and shouted again without music, "Yeah... I believe I am myself, I believe in tomorrow!"
Then, Wang Qian bowed gently to everyone, smiling as he said, "Thank you all for your love and support. This song is a new one that I haven't released yet. It's called 'I Believe!' I dedicate it to all of you. I hope everyone is filled with hope and confidence in life, not to be defeated by difficulties, and to believe that the future will be bright."
Clap, clap, clap, clap...
Applause came again.
Qin Xue Rong had managed to squeeze her way to the front of the stage, eager to jump up and stand next to Wang Qian. However, she restrained herself and stood in front of the stage, looking at Wang Qian.
Wang Qian smiled at her, then waved again to everyone below the stage, saying, "Today, I'm here to participate in the promotional event for the movie 'Nameless Life.' I hope everyone will go and watch this movie. Now, I've taken up too much attention. Please welcome Director Zhao to say a few words."
After that, Wang Qian prepared to leave the stage and handed it over to the film crew.
But...
Zhao Lei quickly walked up, put his arm around Wang Qian's shoulder as if they were old friends, and said into the microphone, "Hahaha, Wang Qian, this song of yours almost got me burning with excitement. Thank you, Wang Qian, for coming to support my new film..."
Liu Jifeng also walked over curiously, looked at Wang Qian, and found that Wang Qian looked quite ordinary, dressed casually without a trace of makeup on his face, a plain face with visible stubble, indicating he wasn't young, but his facial features were still quite handsome, exuding a mature and confident aura.
This was something Liu Jifeng himself didn't possess. Standing next to Wang Qian, he felt somewhat small.
Wang Qian chuckled, "Director Zhao is too polite!"
Liu Jifeng reached out and shook hands with Wang Qian, lowering his posture, "Senior Wang Qian, hello!"
He had searched the internet for information and found that Wang Qian graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, majoring in acting, and they were from the same school and major, making Wang Qian his senior.
Wang Qian politely responded, "Hello, hello."
He didn't know what to say to Liu Jifeng, after all, they weren't familiar with each other.
Standing awkwardly on the stage for a minute, Wang Qian saw them starting to follow the promotional event process, and Zhao Lei and Liu Jifeng successively accepted the host's questions about the movie.
Wang Qian quietly walked to the backstage.
A bottle of water was handed over from the side.
Wang Qian reached out and looked back curiously, seeing a smiling pretty face.
"Hehe, I got your message and rushed over. I just caught your performance. You sang so well!" Qin Xue Rong said happily, her eyes showing some admiration.
Wang Qian nodded gently, asking with concern, "What about your company? Don't let it affect your work."
Qin Xue Rong shook her head, "It won't! I'm going to watch the movie with you today. I've arranged all my work."
Wang Qian looked closely at Qin Xue Rong.
He couldn't tell that this girl was from a high-ranking position in a major company.
Of course, if she dressed professionally and put on some makeup, she would seem more imposing.
Now!
Wearing a casual T-shirt and jeans, with no makeup on her face, full of collagen, she looked very youthful.
If you said she was in high school, some people would believe it.
Qin Xue Rong pulled a chair over and took Wang Qian's arm, "You must be tired. Come over and sit down and rest!"
Wang Qian sat down as she pulled him over.
Qin Xue Rong's slender, pale hands kneaded Wang Qian's shoulders, "Let me give you a massage..."
Puff!
Wang Qian spat out water, hurriedly pulling Qin Xue Rong aside to sit down, speechless, "Don't, if someone sees you, they'll think I'm too corrupt."
Qin Xue Rong nodded, "Oh," with a smile.
Wang Qian looked at the promotional activities on the stage, which were not very innovative, and the crowd around them had begun to disperse, leaving only a small half watching the excitement.
Immediately, Wang Qian took out his phone and entered his Weibo to take a look.
All the comments under Weibo were discussing his performance here.
"The boss's live performance was really explosive. I'm still excited."
"Who watched Boss's performance at XX Mall? Any videos? Please send me a copy, thank you so much!"
"Boss's new song 'I Believe!' is so good! It's a song that makes people believe in hope."
"Boss, please upload 'I Believe' quickly, I want to listen to it!"
"Ever since I heard Boss's songs, I can't listen to other new singers' songs anymore. There are just too few of Boss's songs. Please upload the new song soon!"
"Boss, please upload 'I Believe' quickly..."
...
Wang Qian posted a Weibo message using his phone.
"I originally planned to release the song 'I Believe' sometime later and sing it for everyone on a real stage. Today, coincidentally, I attended Director Zhao's promotional event for the movie 'Nameless Life,' and I had a sudden impulse to sing it for everyone first. I hope you all like it. I will upload this song tonight when I get home, so for those who want to hear it, please don't worry."
"The song title is 'I Believe.' I hope that no matter where you are or what situation you're in, you believe in hope and don't give up!"
Sent.
Wang Qian lay back in his chair, chatting quietly with Qin Xue Rong, watching the activities on stage feeling quite bored. He greeted Zhao Lei and left with Qin Xue Rong first.
They planned to have a meal first.
Then they would watch Zhao Lei's first movie to see how good it was.
However, it was an art film.
Wang Qian didn't have high hopes.
...
Outside the entrance, on the square.
Li Qingyao persisted in signing the last few fans from the party, ending the event half an hour later than the scheduled time.
"The plane is taking off in less than an hour. You should go to the airport now and have a meal and rest on the way," said Liu Lihua.
Li Qingyao walked directly to the waiting nanny car and asked, "Is Wang Qian's new song going to be uploaded today?"
Liu Lihua nodded, "Yes, he said on Weibo that he would upload it tonight. This song should have a better response!"
With her insight, she could see that the market for this song "I Believe" would be even bigger.
Li Qingyao nodded. She also really liked this song, but she still said firmly, "I won't lose!"
Liu Lihua also affirmed, "Of course! In the future, if he joins a major company, he might become a threat to you. But for now, he doesn't have the qualifications!"
She kept the next words in her heart.
Even if he has the ability, every piece of his work is one step ahead of other new songs.
However...
Without a company to promote it, it is impossible to become truly popular!
