The Da Fei Band's Awkward Silence

Seeing Wu Bo so confident, Shen Jianbin and Sun Jie had nothing else to say.

Su Yulin watched this scene with a blank expression, a hint of a cold smile on her face.

Him? Trying to replace Da Fei?

A fool's dream.

Shen Jianbin said, "Don't go too hard on stage, don't get too excited. Remember to introduce the musicians and the band."

"You're the lead singer, you'll do the talking. I can't steal your thunder."

Wu Bo nodded, "Got it, Brother Bin!"

Lin Chudong stepped off the stage as the Director called out.

"Da Fei Band, it's your turn!"

Wu Bo walked ahead, his face full of confidence, with Shen Jianbin and the others following closely.

In the corridor, as Lin Chudong and his band members came off stage, the two groups passed each other.

The members of Da Fei Band all looked at Lin Chudong. Wu Bo's lips curled into a provocative smile, as if to say, I've definitely decided to take your spot!

Shen Jianbin's expression turned somewhat grim. He could overlook the previous song, Chengdu.

But for this song, No Hesitation, Lin Chudong hadn't even performed it. If it had been their band, it would have been another classic representative work!

This Da Fei is truly detestable!

As Su Yulin walked past Lin Chudong, she suddenly winked, then returned to her cold, expressionless demeanor.

During this brief passing, everyone had a lot going on in their minds.

Liang Yin said, "Da Fei, we were too successful. Shen Jianbin's performance will be very difficult, won't it?"

Chen Jianguo said, "Naturally. Based on my current performance experience, no one can follow up Da Fei's two songs."

Lin Chudong smiled, "It's not that exaggerated. Let's just watch."

"Next, please welcome Da Fei Band!"

As Da Fei Band took the stage, the audience erupted in thunderous applause.

After all, they were the finale band and quite well-known. Even with a new lead singer, they still had many fans.

Seeing the audience's reaction, Shen Jianbin smiled with satisfaction.

Wu Bo picked up the microphone and said loudly.

"Hello everyone, I'm Wu Bo, the new lead singer of the Da Fei Band!"

"I'm very happy to meet you all. My joining will bring a qualitative leap to the Da Fei Band's music!"

Shen Jianbin frowned tightly and reminded him in a low voice.

"Introduce the musicians..."

Wu Bo didn't hear him at all and said loudly.

"Next, we'll bring you the first song, Keep Up With The Rhythm!"

From the very beginning, Wu Bo wanted to challenge Da Fei's famous song. What he wanted to do was surpass it!

Only by surpassing the original singer could people remember him.

Shen Jianbin took a deep breath, extremely annoyed. This idiot didn't even introduce the musicians!

He was just bragging about himself!

When Wu Bo started singing, he was indeed a bit stunning.

"This is my rhythm, please enjoy it with me..."

Below the stage, the audience's reaction was okay.

They were enthusiastic at first, but after listening for a couple of sentences, they felt something was missing.

Many people didn't understand music well; they could only distinguish between good-sounding and not-good-sounding.

Wu Bo's voice was good, quite similar to Da Fei's, and he had a lot of sharpness about him.

However, the music was much worse than when Da Fei led the band.

Ma Jinlong said into his phone, "From a professional perspective, the Da Fei Band is missing a guitarist!"

"Back when Da Fei was here, although Sun Jie was the lead guitarist, Da Fei was also a top-tier guitarist. When he held his guitar, he would occasionally play a few melodic notes, filling the gaps left by Sun Jie. It was like a simplified version of dual guitar solos."

"But this Wu Bo is purely a lead singer. Naturally, one voice part is missing from the entire music."

The bullet comments immediately became lively.

"Old Ma is so professional! You can even hear that. I just felt it wasn't as good as Da Fei's, but I didn't know why."

"Don't you guys know Old Ma has a Master's degree in music?"

"Putting aside other things, this song is far worse than No Hesitation. I'm getting sleepy listening to it."

"I still wanted to get hyped up, but then they gave me a sleeping pill. Why didn't they let Da Fei perform last?"

"Wu Bo is not even in the same league as Da Fei. Look at Shen Jianbin's expression."

Ma Jinlong zoomed in on his phone, giving Shen Jianbin a close-up.

At this moment, Shen Jianbin's face was extremely grim.

The audience below was too quiet. Apart from a few people singing along, most were in a daze.

Da Fei's No Hesitation earlier was just too explosive, it was impossible to follow up.

A cold reception was the ultimate test of a singer's mental fortitude.

Wu Bo's expression also changed slightly when he saw the situation.

Suddenly, he paused, missing a beat.

"Forgot the lyrics? Hahaha!"

"He's not the one who wrote the song, so unprofessional. I sing better at KTV and get a score of 99!"

"Is this guy here to be funny? Shen Jianbin's relative? Da Fei Band is going downhill!"

Shen Jianbin's eyes widened, and he quickly sang a few lines before Wu Bo could catch up!

His performance afterward was stable, but unfortunately, the audience was no longer buying it.

The atmosphere grew colder and colder. Many people had even started going to the restroom, something never seen before during the finale performance of a music festival.

Ma Jinlong said, "It seems the result is already clear. Without Da Fei, the Da Fei Band is just an empty shell. If it weren't for these few songs, the Da Fei Band could disband directly!"

"Why didn't Da Fei sing this song? Didn't he write it?"

"Because of copyright issues. The copyright is held by the Da Fei Band."

"Ah? Da Fei can't even sing his own song? Is there any justice?"

"Get off the stage quickly! Let Da Fei come up!"

"Old Ma, invite Da Fei up. This is a new challenge. You said you play it real, right? Do you dare?"

As soon as this comment appeared, the audience immediately followed suit, flooding the screen with messages.

Ma Jinlong said, "I must satisfy the fans' request today. Challenge accepted! Let Da Fei return to the stage. I play it real!"

By the time the Da Fei Band performed their second song, the venue had become deserted. People were whispering to each other, playing on their phones. Wu Bo's attempts at interaction were met with complete silence.

Shen Jianbin was so angry he was about to go crazy. His control over the audience was not even a fraction of Da Fei's.

The second song ended, and Shen Jianbin said, "Bow and leave the stage!"

Wu Bo nodded and bowed to the audience.

"Everyone, see you next time!"

Until they left the stage, there was no applause to see them off.

This cold reception was simply unprecedented!

As soon as they got off stage, Shen Jianbin became furious.

"How can you, a professional singer, forget lyrics? Useless!"

Wu Bo gritted his teeth, "Brother Bin, I was too nervous. It won't happen again."

Shen Jianbin's face was grim, and he ignored him.

The host came on stage and said.

"Dear audience, this music festival has come to an end. Please leave in an orderly manner."

Suddenly, Ma Jinlong stood up and shouted.

"We're not leaving! Da Fei! Da Fei! Da Fei!!"

With Ma Jinlong leading, the whole audience joined in the chant.

"Da Fei!"

"Da Fei!"

"..."

The host quickly left the stage, the lights were turned off, and they prepared to pack up.

But not a single audience member left. The name Da Fei resounded deafeningly, audible in several surrounding residential areas.

The host became anxious, "Director, what should we do?"
