You may not know, but the Cold Wave is incredibly popular right now. It's not just the kids in Huaxia; even here, we've been affected. Valery's little daughter has been pestering her to study abroad in Han Country because of a TV show. Do you remember when we were drinking at their place?
Eva sliced a plate of watermelon and placed it on the coffee table, then took another plate upstairs to deliver to her daughter. Anna, sitting beside her, picked up a piece of watermelon and slowly ate: "Don't blame the kids for wanting to become stars; these days, celebrities can really make money."
If you don't follow the entertainment industry, you wouldn't know. Just this year, one internet celebrity was fined several hundred million for tax evasion. Just think about it—if she wasn't making that much money, would she have been fined so heavily?
Xu Li brushed off the ash from his cigarette, puzzled: "We aren't short on money. The eldest really doesn't have a talent for studying, so I let him choose his own direction early on. Lao San and Old Liu have already given up; I don't expect anything from them anymore. Only Lao Si and Old Five have potential for studying, so I'm willing to send them to Jinling for their education."
Whether it's becoming a doctor, a lawyer, or pursuing other research professions, they can contribute to society while living well. What's so great about being a star? You lose your privacy; every word and action gets distorted and misrepresented. Why live such a tiring life?
You're completely mistaken.
Eva came down from upstairs, sat on his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and took away his cigarette butt: "Since last year, led by Old American and Huaxia entertainment companies, over two hundred companies from various countries have agreed to hold the Blue Star unified singing competition every July and August."
There are no restrictions on the types of songs participants can sing, but they must be original songs. After participating in the July Sea Selection, each episode will select a first-place winner. In August, there will be a final showdown. Not to mention winning first place; just making it into the top ten is already a matter of national pride.
"Wow, that's quite an event!"
He scratched his chin: "Are there any requirements for participation?"
"Of course! The song must be released that year. Additionally, aside from being an original song, sales figures are a constant standard. For the Sea Selection, global sales must exceed one hundred thousand copies; local sales can only be counted proportionally based on overall figures. The rest depends on overseas audiences."
Anna smiled brightly: "The eldest has released 'Lullaby' this year and has already met the participation criteria early on. They will definitely compete this summer. However, since their management company is ours, they can only represent Da Mao, not Huaxia."
"Come on! Huaxia has plenty of big names; they’ll surely take half of the top ten spots this year."
Xu Li shrugged nonchalantly and then picked up Eva while holding onto Anna as they went upstairs. He wondered if he should try again.
In a villa far away in Jinling, two chubby little balls jumped into Li Yanhong's arms, crying loudly. Ever since these two nephews arrived at home, his face had never lacked a smile. Little Guy respected him too; he called him uncle and did whatever he asked—he enjoyed their closeness.
"Don't cry; tomorrow uncle will find you teachers. We'll start learning from the basics."
He snapped his lighter open with a flick and puffed out smoke rings: "Who does he think he is? Without Xu Butcher, are we supposed to eat wild boar? Clearly not!"
"Really, uncle?"
Xu Jia looked up with teary eyes at Xu Lei, who patted his chest confidently: "I wouldn't lie to you two."
He glanced at his nephews who were at least fifty pounds overweight and smirked: "But you two really should lose some weight."
Xu Jia looked down at his big belly, holding it with both hands and shaking it slightly while pouting determinedly: "I want to lose weight!"
"That's right! I want to lose weight too!"
