When he first entered the departure hall, Wu Bai felt something was wrong.
It's not the right time of the year, why are there so many people at the airport all of a sudden?
Before he could think about it, the crowd gave the answer.
"Wu Bai Wu Bai, shine brightly!"
When the tall girl in the lead saw Wu Bai coming out, she held up a sign with Wu Bai's portrait on it and shouted.
Suddenly, more girls joined her.
This is the first time Wu Bai has "enjoyed" airport pick-up treatment.
When they arrived at the exit, Huang Xiaoyun left first with a backpack.
Faced with Wu Bai's success, she really didn't want to stay any longer.
So, the remaining four people stood facing each other and left each other's phone numbers.
"Xiaobai, contact me again!"
Before Deng Ziqi left with her agent, she reluctantly waved at Wu Bai. There was already something different in her eyes.
These things were all seen by Mao Buyi.
But he didn't say anything, he just patted Wu Bai's shoulder lightly.
"Old Wu, I'm leaving now. I have to rush to attend the show in the evening."
"Maomao, pay more attention to your body and don't be too tired."
Now, only Wu Bai and Wang Sulong are left, as well as the fans who are following them relentlessly.
"Wu Bai, can you take a photo with us?"
The leading girl mustered up her courage and shouted to Wu Bai.
I thought I would be rejected.
Unexpectedly, Wu Bai really stopped and turned around.
"Okay, let's go together then!"
The girls cheered and hurriedly ran to stand behind Wu Bai. Wang Sulong beside him was pushed into a photography position by the girls who stuffed their cameras.
Wang Sulong was speechless for a while.
As a foil, Green Leaf felt so wronged for the first time.
...
In the taxi returning home, Wu Bai thought about what he had gained this time.
After this day and night journey, he became friends with China's top singers Wang Sulong, Mao Buyi, and Deng Ziqi. While gaining popularity in Korea, he also successfully promoted China's national quintessence culture, which was regarded as a successful completion of the mission assigned to him by the country.
Mission; as for fans of China...
As a super Internet celebrity, Wu Bai is often recognized by fans in real life. After all, he still has to live a normal life. It is not surprising that such a situation occurs.
But for things like airport pick-up, there are still so many people...
Thinking of this, Wu Bai opened Weibo.
Sure enough, four of the top 10 hot searches were related to his name, and two of the remaining six were related to Peking Opera.
Wu Bai turned on the music player again.
His song "Lanting Preface" was promoted to the most conspicuous position on the home page and has been played more than 100 million times.
Wu Bai took out the headphones from his backpack and gently inserted them into his ears.
As he clicked, the sad prelude to "Lanting Preface" came to mind in the headphones.
When the song was playing, the audience's comments also scrolled quickly above the lyrics.
"One person wrote in blood and begged Wu Bai to come into the studio and record a version!"
"Wu Bai opens his mouth and kneels down!"
“I beg you for the pure voice version, it’s so explosive!”
"The voices singing along are very good, don't sing next time!"
"I'm looking forward to Wu Bai releasing a single. I can listen to it on repeat for a week!"
“I cried when I heard it, it’s so contagious!”
...
Seeing the positive comments on the barrage, Wu Bai couldn't help but curl up his lips.
As for releasing a single, you can consider this.
When the song ended, the player automatically jumped to the next song. When Wu Bai was about to go back and listen to it again, an unfamiliar number interrupted his thoughts.
The cell phone rang three times before Wu Bai picked up the phone slowly.
"Xiao Wu, I am Director Zhang."
On the other side of the receiver came the rich voice of Director Zhang from the Propaganda Department of China.
"Your preparation and performance this time were very good. I really made the right choice when I chose you to participate in this exhibition!"
"Thank you even more, Minister."
Wu Bai answered without missing a beat. He didn't know why Minister Zhang was calling at this time.
"Whatever you thank me for, it's all your own fault."
The pleasantries were almost done, and Minister Zhang started to get down to business.
"It's like this. Our CCTV director Yu Lei saw your performance yesterday and thought it was very good. So she found me and wanted to invite you to participate in the next episode of "Chinese Treasures"."
Wu Bai has watched the program "Treasures of China", and he vaguely remembers that this program is one of the high-quality programs recently launched by Yangma. The director joins hands with nine national museums to lead the people to conduct in-depth exploration in the field of cultural heritage.
In the episode that Wu Bai watched, the Magic City Museum took out three treasures and found its own star "national treasure guardian" for each treasure.
Presumably Director Yu Lei wanted her to play a role like this.
Minister Zhang on the other end of the phone unconsciously tapped the table with his fingers.
If it were someone else, if he encountered such an opportunity, he would definitely agree immediately without thinking. Wu Bai remained silent for a long time. Did he think that such an opportunity was easily available?
"Wu Bai, this opportunity is very rare. Since the show started, the ratings of every episode have been very high! Have you considered it?"
Minister Zhang was a little out of sorts.
When she first mentioned this proposal, Yu Lei wanted to call Wu Bai personally.
It was he who came forward, saying that his relationship with Wu Bai was extraordinary, and boasted that he would definitely be able to recruit Wu Bai in Haikou.
In this way, he not only gained face by selling Yu Lei, but also made Wu Bai owe him a favor, killing two birds with one stone.
But when Wu Bai didn't reply immediately, he really panicked.
"Sorry, Minister Zhang, the signal here just wasn't very good."
Hearing Minister Zhang's urging, Wu Bai was shocked to realize that he was being impolite, so he had to find an excuse to excuse himself.
"I think this program you mentioned is very good. Since you are the intermediary, of course I can't refuse."
Minister Zhang's heart returned to his stomach, but at this moment, he felt in his heart that Wu Bai had to agree to him because of his face. And his original idea of asking Wu Bai to owe him a favor was no longer possible at this moment.
It's been watered down a lot.
Fortunately, Wu Bai finally agreed.
He can also communicate with Yu Lei.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
Seeing Wu Bai looking out the window boredly, the driver considerately turned on the radio.
"...achieved very impressive results last night. Before hearing his song, I didn't know anyone whose singing voice could be so well combined with modern pop music."
On the radio, the soft and sweet voice of the radio host rang out. Her voice was like a gurgling spring water, so soft and light.
"Next, let's listen to this live version of "Lanting Preface" together."
