“These people are all qualified to be on the Zhong Continent Spring Festival Gala!”

“The Swan is also here!”

“The Robot is also here!”

“A few of the highly popular Kings and Queens from The Masked Singer!”

“Weren’t the Swan and the Robot also invited by Zhong Continent, and they refused, only to turn around and not partake in Zhong Continent’s gala because they’re attending Qin Continent’s gala?”

“Man, the Qin Continent Spring Festival Gala has some serious clout!”

“If Qin Continent didn’t have this attraction, it must be Fish Papa’s influence!”

“Watching all the way through, my biggest feeling is that the budget for Qin Continent’s Spring Festival Gala is really damn high!”

“The sponsor is Flame Hot Pot!”

“There’s also another sponsor called Daughter’s Red!”

“These two sponsors must have given a lot of money, especially Flame Hot Pot, why does every project of the Yu Dynasty have this brand involved?”

…

Zhong Continent.

Director Zhuang Xian was watching Qin Continent’s program, his gaze almost freezing in place!

Not only had the preceding comedy sketch gripped him, but this chorus performance also swayed his heart and soul!

Even more so, the impact of this chorus on him was greater than the comedy sketch!

Of course, it wasn’t because the song was extremely good.

The song was indeed nice, but the real focus was on the caliber and status of these Kings and Queens of Singing!

Director Zhuang Xian recognized them at once!

Among Qin Continent’s star-studded chorus were several top Kings and Queens who had been invited to Zhong Continent’s Spring Festival Gala!

They had refused!

At the time, Director Zhuang Xian didn’t think much of it, assuming some celebrities preferred to spend the Spring Festival with their families.

But now.

Director Zhuang Xian realized:

These Kings and Queens had not turned down Zhong Continent to spend time with family; they refused because they were going to attend Qin Continent’s Spring Festival Gala!

More specifically, because of Xian Yu!

Director Zhuang Xian found it utterly incomprehensible!

Why on earth would they choose that fish over Zhong Continent?

In the eyes of these Kings and Queens, did Zhong Continent’s grand Spring Festival Gala carry less weight than Xian Yu?

Wasn’t Xian Yu just a Maestro?

Did he deserve such fawning and flattery from them?

They’d rather sing a couple of pitifully short lines of lyrics in Qin Continent’s Spring Festival Gala than perform a solo at Zhong Continent’s grand gala!?

This was the first time!

Director Zhuang Xian was questioning the allure of Zhong Continent’s brand!

Before this, when he or any other stars from any continent showed the Zhong Continent brand, regardless of the magnitude of the celebrity, they would treat it with utmost importance!

Suddenly.

The phone vibrated!

Director Zhuang Xian glanced at the newly received message, his pupils instantly constricting to pinpoints, “Qin Continent’s Spring Festival Gala ratings have just barely surpassed yours, the margin is extremely small, I can hold off the news for Zhong Continent for an hour, but if Zhong Continent still can’t reclaim the ratings within the next hour, the spectacle this year will really look pretty embarrassing…”

Director Zhuang Xian clenched his phone!

There had never been an instance in Blue Star’s history where the grand Spring Festival Gala lost to a regional gala!

And if Zhong Continent, hosting the grand gala, were to lose to a regional gala, it would be the most humiliating moment for Zhong Continent in all these years!

Director Zhuang Xian was certain!

If Zhong Continent could not win back the ratings, the team he led for the Spring Festival Gala could forget about ever wielding the director’s baton for the gala again, and many might have to retire early alongside him…

“Not possible!”

“There’s still hope!”

“There are still good acts coming up!”

Director Zhuang Xian seemed to be encouraging himself, although he understood that even if he reclaimed the ratings, it was merely saving face. Being so beaten by a regional Spring Festival Gala, it was as if Xian Yu had slapped Zhong Continent’s countless magnates right in the face. The offense Xian Yu caused to Zhong Continent was one thing, but his own dismissal after this gala was another matter entirely.
