Xiao Qingfeng wrote the following on Weibo:
"Dear King Liu Huade, I am deeply honored and excited to learn that you appreciate my music so much. You have always been a role model of both virtue and talent in my heart, and I admire your artistic ethics and dedication."
"Your praise is a great encouragement to me. I am very willing to tailor a song for you and look forward to working with you to shine on the music stage and contribute our strength to the Chinese music scene."
This response sparked another online uproar.
Furthermore, netizens also discovered something from this response: Xiao Qingfeng is not an arrogant person who is unruly, disrespectful to elders, or disrespectful to seniors.
Last time, Jing Chenxi, also a senior, called out to Xiao Qingfeng from afar, only to be thoroughly humiliated and utterly disgraced. He was even dragged down from his pedestal and nailed to the pillar of shame.
Although Xiao Qingfeng was the beneficiary or even the victor of that incident, some netizens also believed that even if Jing Chenxi, as Xiao Qingfeng's senior, used inappropriate words, Xiao Qingfeng should not have been so vindictive and escalated the conflict.
Therefore, many netizens still use this to attack Xiao Qingfeng's character online, with comments such as arrogant, conceited, vindictive, and petty being commonplace.
However, this claim has now been refuted. Just look at Xiao Qingfeng's response to Andy Lau; it clearly demonstrates Xiao Qingfeng's respect and admiration for his senior.
It was only at this point that many people realized that Xiao Qingfeng's principle had always been: if you treat me with respect, I will treat you with even greater respect; if you spit on me, I will break your teeth.
Strong-willed and clear about right and wrong, that's Xiao Qingfeng!
This response sparked another online uproar.
Andy Lau's fans were gratified that their idol received such respect and left messages on various platforms to express their approval of Xiao Qingfeng.
"Qingfeng is really polite. He truly deserves to be called a talented and humble singer."
"Based on this response, I hope their cooperation can be realized soon."
Xiao Qingfeng's fans are extremely proud: "Our Qingfeng is just that outstanding, and he never hesitates to praise his respected seniors."
"Looking forward to the song that Qingfeng tailored for Andy Lau, it's sure to be amazing."
The entertainment media also sprang into action, with various entertainment news headlines reporting on the matter.
"Xiao Qingfeng responds to Liu Huade, suggesting that two powerful figures in the Chinese music scene may be joining forces."
"Xiao Qingfeng demonstrated high emotional intelligence and showed great respect for superstar Liu Huade."
Media outlets have widely predicted that this interaction will bring new vitality and opportunities to the Chinese music scene, and are also full of expectations for future collaborations between the two.
Hong Kong Island, at Andy Lau's home!
At this moment, superstar Lau Wah-tak is replying to messages on his phone.
Since posting on Weibo, old friends have been sending congratulatory messages, and his Weibo and Douyin platforms have been flooded with comments.
After all, he had been retired for seven years, and he himself felt quite shocked before making the decision to make a comeback.
Before Xiao Qingfeng suddenly appeared, he really had no intention of making a comeback, and he was very satisfied with his life in seclusion. Moreover, he already had money, status, and reputation.
Even if he does nothing now, he can guarantee three generations of wealth and prosperity. Moreover, he loves to travel abroad and rarely stays in China, so he is very attentive to what is happening in the domestic social circle.
The reason given for retiring from the entertainment industry was that he had already achieved great success and wanted to spend the rest of his life with his family and children, focus on charity, and do things that are valuable and meaningful to society.
The reason given is, of course, the obvious one. But one of the real reasons is the disappointment with the Chinese music scene, the heartache over the current film and television industry's obsession with traffic and the invasion of effeminate culture.
But ever since a friend recommended Xiao Qingfeng's songs to him last month, his dormant heart has become active again. Even if this industry is dirty and rotten, there will always be someone who persists and someone who fights.
If it were just Xiao Qiongfeng's songs, he would only appreciate them, which wouldn't be enough to make him think about making a comeback. What really made him think about making a comeback was after seeing Xiao Qingfeng's controversy of daring to stand up to capital.
Some might think that Xiao Qingfeng's behavior is just youthful arrogance, that he hasn't been tempered by society, and that it's foolish and naive.
But in his view, this is the kind of character that young people should have: to dare to fight against injustice and hegemony, and to dare to do what others dare not do. This is what makes a true warrior.
Admittedly, one person's strength is limited, but if there were more people like this, wouldn't the situation be better?
Even if it's just a little bit better, every little bit is progress!
So after three days of deliberation, and with Xiao Qingfeng winning the championship, Andy Lau finally decided to make a comeback, hoping to contribute more to the Chinese music scene in his lifetime.
After replying to his friend's message, Liu Huade logged onto Weibo and saw Xiao Qingfeng's reply.
They responded immediately!
"Teacher Xiao, we look forward to your work!"
Then Liu Huade contacted his friend Mei Fei, hoping to establish contact with Xiao Qingfeng through her.
Mei Fei naturally gave Xiao Qingfeng's WeChat without hesitation, and the two then added each other on WeChat.
After Liu Huade and Xiao Qingfeng added each other on WeChat, Liu Huade sent the first message:
"Teacher Xiao, it's a pleasure to meet you. Your talent amazes me, and your music has a power to touch people's hearts. I apologize for the intrusion in asking you to write a song for me before. Please don't take offense."
Xiao Qingfeng quickly replied, "You flatter me, Mr. Andy Lau. It is my honor to write a song for you. You have always been my idol and role model. Your works have influenced countless people, including me. In fact, after hearing your praise, I have been thinking about it. Based on your style, I have some preliminary ideas."
Upon seeing this message, Liu Huade was shocked: "So fast? Teacher Xiao, your creative speed is truly amazing. I look forward to your work."
Xiao Qingfeng said modestly, "You flatter me, Mr. Andy Lau. Please wait for me for half an hour, it will be ready soon!"
Upon seeing Xiao Qingfeng's reply, Liu Huade was filled with a complex mix of shock and anticipation.
He never expected Xiao Qingfeng to write songs so quickly; it was completely beyond his imagination.
He sat there, his eyes sparkling with curiosity and excitement.
On the one hand, he was amazed by Xiao Qingfeng's talent and creative ability, that he could have the initial form of a work in such a short time, and even be about to complete a song tailor-made for him.
On the other hand, he couldn't help but wonder what style and theme this upcoming song would have.
Will it be a passionate and inspiring song?
Or is it a deeply affectionate lyrical work?
Liu Huade was filled with anticipation, as if waiting for a precious gift to be unveiled.
He suddenly realized that his comeback was made even more surprising by Xiao Qingfeng's appearance.
Half an hour passed quickly!
Xiao Qingfeng has also finished composing a song!
