The director frowned. This was the first time he'd encountered this situation. If everyone didn't leave, they couldn't end the show.

Wu Bo, standing nearby, asked, "Are they calling for us? Do they want an encore?"

Shen Jianbin's face darkened. "Stop being so full of yourself!"

The director ignored them and quickly made a few phone calls. After a moment, he said, "I've discussed it with the organizers, and we're planning to have Da Fei perform another song."

"Go and instruct the security guards to maintain order at the venue. Make sure there are no incidents."

After briefing the host, the director jogged backstage.

"Brother Fei!"

At this moment, the director put on an enthusiastic smile. "Brother Fei, you heard the audience's cheers. Please perform another song. We have enough time."

Lin Chudong said, "You can discuss it with my boss."

Liang Yin stood up.

The director said, "I've discussed it with Manager Meng. We'll add another fifty thousand to your fee for one more song. What do you think?"

Liang Yin glanced back at Lin Chudong and nodded.

"Alright, then one more song."

"But... the last performance was so explosive. Can Da Fei follow that up?"

The song "No Hesitation" was truly explosive. Even for Da Fei himself, it wouldn't be easy to top that performance.

At this moment, the audience's expectations for Da Fei had reached an unprecedented height. If he didn't deliver a satisfactory song, the impact would be greatly diminished.

Lin Chudong nodded. "Let's try. Everyone, get ready quickly. Encore!"

When Lin Chudong walked out from backstage again, the entire venue erupted!

Screams echoed endlessly, a stark contrast to when Wu Bo sang earlier.

Ma Jinlong's phone was also buzzing with activity.

"Old Ma, you're awesome! You actually got Da Fei to do an encore. I consider you a ruthless man."

"Awesome! Sending a Carnival. Half for you, half for Da Fei."

"Old Ma, hold your phone steady, don't shake!"

"If Da Fei can deliver another explosive song, it will absolutely shake the music industry!"

"Da Fei, the king has returned!"

Standing in front of the microphone, Lin Chudong still didn't speak.

To capture the live atmosphere of No Hesitation, he had to control the entire venue.

Lin Chudong raised a finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture.

A few seconds later, the entire audience fell silent.

Lin Chudong looked at Chen Jianguo and nodded.

Chen Jianguo's pick began to strum the strings, and a simple melody rang out.

Liang Yin, backstage, was sweating nervously. If they couldn't match the effect of the previous performance, Da Fei's strength would definitely be questioned.

Wang Zhi's hands trembled with nervousness.

With such an enthusiastic encore, starting with a single-note prelude, would the audience buy it?

One guitar, a few simple chords, a continuous single-note prelude, four bars, then another four bars.

Even though Chen Jianguo was very steady, a drop of cold sweat inevitably appeared on his forehead.

He was afraid that a single boo from the audience would make all their efforts go to waste.

Jia Lu's hands, gripping the drumsticks, were also a little pale. She believed in Brother Fei, that he could definitely control the entire venue.

Her foot was already on the bass drum, ready to kick in at any moment.

Jing Feifei's hands were also on the keyboard, ready to press the first chord.

Whether it was the musicians or the audience, everyone was waiting for the prelude to end.

Only Da Fei, with his gaze fixed forward and eyes unfocused, seemed immersed in the unusually long prelude.

Surprisingly, the prelude, which lasted nearly a minute and consisted of only a few single notes, had silenced the entire venue.

Even Ma Jinlong's live stream was devoid of any comments; everyone was waiting for Da Fei's voice.

How explosive would it be!

Ding...

As a final note ended, Da Fei's voice came through like heavenly music.

"Once dreamed of traveling the world with a sword..."

Bang!

The organizers cooperatively placed a row of cannons in front of the stage.

At the same time, all the instruments sounded together, and Da Fei's deep voice directly reignited the entire venue!

The audience below screamed again, everyone went crazy for it!

"Ahhhhh! Da Fei, I'm dead, take my life!"

"Awesome 666! Da Fei yyds!"

"Da Fei, Da Fei, Da Fei!!"

One minute of patient waiting was exchanged for an emotional outburst from everyone, their scalps tingling with excitement, the music festival turning into a rave.

The lingering excitement from "No Hesitation" just now was released again, and the entire crowd cheered.

Following the lyrics scrolling on the big screen, everyone started singing along.

"Look at the prosperity of the world."

"A young heart is always a bit wild, now you call the four seas home."

"The girl who once made your heart ache has now quietly disappeared."

"Love always makes you yearn and feel troubled, it once left you covered in wounds."

"Dilililidilililidenda..."

Screams rose one after another, like waves, each higher than the last.

The musicians on stage were already in a state of excitement. All the spotlights were focused on Lin Chudong. Being able to bear everyone's expectations, this was the soul of the band!

"Da Fei is Da Fei. Only Da Fei can make everyone wait a minute."

"In the entire Chinese music scene, besides Da Fei, who else dares to use such a long intro?"

"This song is truly awesome, it made my ears pregnant!"

"I already know how to sing it. If you haven't heard enough, come to my livestream. I'll cover it immediately!"

"I found it on QQ Music, 'The You of the Past', released by Liang Yin Band this morning, along with 'No Hesitation'!"

"I'm going to put it on single loop. Listening to this song while driving on the highway, I'll at least hit 180!"

"Magic City traffic police remind you, do not speed on the highway."

"..."

Da Fei's song was nearing its end, and the rhythm slowed down.

"Whenever I feel sad, I look at the sea alone."

"I always think of my friends walking on the road, how many are waking up."

"Let's finish this glass of wine, a good man's heart is as vast as the sea."

"Having experienced all kinds of life, the warmth and cold of the world, this smile is warm and pure."

As the song ended, Da Fei shouted.

"Everyone, please follow Liang Yin Band official Weibo, support Liang Yin Band, we'll see you next time!"

With that, the lights dimmed, and Da Fei exited.

The audience was still immersed in the excitement of the moment. Security guards began directing them to leave, and many were still shaking their heads, dancing as they walked.

Some even cried out loud, as if the song had touched their heartstrings.

Ma Jinlong said, "The challenge is over. Everyone, with this performance, Da Fei will definitely become popular again. Just wait for the good news!"

Backstage, Shen Jianbin kicked and shattered a snare drum.

"A bunch of trash!"

Wu Bo, Sun Jie, and the others didn't dare to speak. Su Yulin snorted and threw her drumsticks on the ground.

Kick it, it's band equipment anyway.

Shen Jianbin had nowhere else to vent his anger, so he took it out on her drum, looking like he was enraged by his own inferiority.

The members of Liang Yin Band were all beaming, carrying their instruments back.

They met again backstage, and Shen Jianbin's expression was already displeased.

"Da Fei, you're very impressive. You've been hiding songs, huh? Do you think you've treated me right?"
