Plagued by bad reviews, but the top actress!-Chapter 1572 - 1573:

The competition was held in Huaxia, which could be described as Xia Weibao’s home ground.

Her mother was the former President, her cousin is the current President, and her fans are spread all over the country.

Under these circumstances, Xia Weibao could be said to have the world at her fingertips!

If she wanted to manipulate the competition without anyone knowing, it would be a piece of cake.

After all, the judges and the audience were all Chinese, so naturally, they would favor her.

David was very worried. He had confidence in himself, but what if someone manipulated the competition in secret?

To prevent such a situation from happening, David spared no expense in making a splash with advertisements!

What was originally just a baseless challenge he stirred up was hyped into an epic duel of Eastern and Western instruments!

The last international dance competition, despite being overly hyped, only reached the national level.

It was a cultural comparison between countries.

This time, it was much more significant, already elevated to a collision of Eastern and Western cultures!

David marketed the piano as the representative of Western instruments, and he himself as the representative figure of this culture.

The guqin is the representative of Eastern instruments, and Xia Weibao is the representative figure of this culture.

That’s not all. To prevent Xia Weibao and Yan Fei from manipulating the competition, he leveraged his fame and influence in the international music scene to invite music enthusiasts from all over the world to watch the event. In this way, with an audience coming from the Five Lakes and Four Seas, he wouldn’t have to worry about Xia Weibao’s fans voting recklessly.

Additionally, he spent a considerable amount to invite dozens of grandmaster-level figures from the music world to serve as judges.

Last time, Xia Weibao was able to bribe twenty judges at the international dance competition. But this time, with fifty judges, she wouldn’t be able to bribe them all!

When selecting judges, David put in twelvefold effort, choosing those who were highly self-assured and obsessively devoted to music—people who viewed it as a faith and would never be bought off!

In three days, the advertising expenses were astronomical.

It was many times more sensational than the last international dance competition!

The capital was once again overcrowded.

Seeing such a spectacle, everyone gasped. David indeed was deep-pocketed!

He was truly burning money to avenge Brina!

The appearance fee for any of those judges was exorbitant.

Yet he invited fifty of them in one breath!

Are you trying to shock people to death!

And all those ads, my gosh, could they empty the David Family’s treasury?

As for David’s big commotion, Xia Weibao just felt extremely embarrassed.

How narcissistic could a person be to brand themselves as a representative of Western instruments?

She didn’t know how David dared to say such things; in any case, she felt embarrassed just listening to it.

The representative figure of guqin culture—my god—having that label put on her, she hid in the dressing room all day not daring to come out.

It was so humiliating!

Regarding this matter, she didn’t dare to speak, for fear that others would call her narcissistic and self-satisfied.

She could only quietly post a Weibo clarification, saying it was just an ordinary challenge, and asked everyone to treat it with a normal mindset.

However, her fans admired her almost blindly, constantly saying she was humble.

Her Majesty the Empress was on the verge of tears.

Forget it, let David do whatever he wants; in any case, she has only one purpose, to seek justice for Yan Yuexian!

She continued to immerse herself in the intense filming.

With only one day left until the competition date, Xia Weibao didn’t pay any mind to this matter, but someone was worrying desperately for her.

Pei Hong knew she was busy filming and didn’t dare disturb her.

So he personally went to the set.
