Backstage.
In the waiting room.
Zhang Ye had returned. The moment he stepped into the waiting room, he turned around and asked, "Water?"
Han Qi was taken aback. "Ah?"
Zhang Ye made a gesture of drinking water.
Only then did Han Qi understand. She quickly went to get a bottle of mineral water.
After Zhang Ye finished drinking, he did not say another word.
Han Qi said, "Teacher, for the next song, you …"
Zhang Ye shook his head and pointed to his throat. Then he waved it off to indicate that he could not speak right now. Actually, it was not that he could not speak. He just wanted to let his throat recover as much as possible. After singing "Opera," his throat was already nearing its limit. If he were to sing it a second time, he might not even be able to continue. Singing in a falsetto was actually very tiring as it would make his nasal cavity and throat very tight. Furthermore, he had just recovered from a serious illness and his old injuries had just stabilized.
Han Qi understood and immediately got anxious. "Then what about your next song?"
Zhang Ye smiled and gave her a thumbs up, indicating that she could rest assured.
He would not fight a battle he was not confident in. He had already anticipated this situation, which was why he had arranged the song in such a manner. The second song's vocal range would obviously be different from the first song's. Otherwise, he really would not be able to sing it. There was still less than an hour of rest left. He felt that he could recover by then.
...
In the studio.
The competition continued.
Sunflower in the Starlight took the stage.
"Ignite!
"I burn!
"I want blood to flow!"
"Ignite!
"I burn!
"I want my soul to soar!"
Sunflower chose a rock song today. It was still the same as his performance from the first episode, except that the song was not as stunning as the first episode. The audience was also very excited, but it did not seem to be as intense as the first episode.
Then the replacement singer took the stage.
A very tough mask appeared in front of the audience.
— God of War!
His mask was of a post-modern style with a lot of artistic elements incorporated into it. Using a dark gray color as the base, he looked like an explosive singer.
He lived up to his name.
This person sang in a high pitch the moment he opened his mouth.
"Oh!
"You are the sun of my life!
"Light my way forward!
"Give me endless strength!"
Normally, when a newcomer appeared for the first time, the audience should be looking forward to it. But today, for some reason, the audience did not have much of a reaction. Everyone was surprised and applauded, but it did not reach the point that the singers were looking forward to.
Some of the audience members even went absent-minded.
"Who do you guys think The Clown is!"
"I really don't know!"
"Apart from Chen Guang and those Heavenly Kings, who else in the B-list and above has such singing skills?"
"That 'Opera' is really f * cking amazing!"
"Yeah, it's a song without words. Who the f * ck has ever heard of it?"
"I've really fallen for him!"
"Me too, this clown is amazing!"
"Looking forward to his next song!"
"Yes, his voice has almost recovered, and his voice is normal. The song just now was in a falsetto, so we couldn't tell. If he were to sing with his real voice, we would definitely be able to tell!"
He finished singing.
The voting began.
Sunflower in the Starlight obtained 222 votes!
War God got 177 votes!
About a hundred people in the audience did not vote and abstained from voting!
Sunflower in the Starlight won, but he did not see any happy expressions on his face.
War God also had a bitter smile on his face. He could obviously feel that some of the audience members were not paying attention.
Then, the final group of singers took the stage.
The first to come out was the replacement singer — Lord Peacock. He actually sang a folk song that was very nice to listen to and was also very famous.
The next to come out was the final singer of the day — Sunset Glow. It was still her style. She chose a very quiet song and sang it very well. Her performance today was much better than in the first round.
"A song of yearning."
"It's full of bitterness."
"A song of heartbreak."
"It's full of sorrow."
In the end, Sunset Glow won by an overwhelming margin!
Sunset Glow: 302 votes!
Lord Peacock: 115 votes!
There were still over 80 people who abstained from voting!
The program team staff could only smile wryly.
Zhang Xia looked to the side. "What's going on today?"
Chen Guang could tell what was going on. "It's because the first group's competition was so exciting that the audience's emotions were completely released."
Amy smiled and said, "Everyone's not paying attention and is probably trying to guess who The Clown is. After all, he just said that he's at least in the B-list rankings, so the range of possibilities isn't really that wide."
Chen Yidong coughed and said, "I'm already scrolling through it."
His cell phone was still lit up, displaying the latest Celebrity Rankings Index. He was scrolling through all the celebrities at the B-list and above, trying to match them with The Clown.
Even the judges were doing this, so what more the audience!
Everyone was really shocked by The Clown's wordless song!
Today's show was recorded according to the usual broadcast schedule. Next up was the elimination round. Petal Shower, God of War, and Lord Peacock would be fighting. Only one person would remain.
Petal Shower was the first to sing. But when she finished singing the song in her still-shocking falsetto, there was no longer any suspense about the outcome.
God of War sang very hard.
Lord Peacock also brought out his full strength.
However, Petal Shower still clinched victory with an absolute advantage. There was really nothing that could be done about it. Petal Shower was currently the most popular singer on King of Masked Singers, and her singing was also flawless. Unless it was some heaven-defying superstar singer, it would be very difficult to shake her.
"Reveal!"
"Reveal!"
"Reveal!"
The audience started shouting!
God of War hesitated for a moment.
Dong Shanshan looked at him. "God of War, please make your choice."
Finally, the War God smiled and took off his mask without hesitation.
When the audience saw this, they exclaimed!
"Brother Howl!"
"It's Brother Howl!"
"Damn, it's him!"
"I didn't expect this at all!"
"Ah!"
"I thought it sounded like him when I heard it just now!"
Brother Howl was a nickname given to him by the netizens. His real name was Li Dongguo, a very inconspicuous name. However, this person was the champion of a singing talent show that followed the trend of The Voice last year. As his singing style was of the roaring type, he would often reach an extremely explosive pitch, so everyone gave him this nickname. He was a very capable singer who had come out of a talent show. Many people had even evaluated him as a top folk singer. No one could have expected that he would appear on King of Masked Singers' stage!
"Sure enough, he still didn't make it!"
"Brother Howl was eliminated the moment he appeared? He couldn't even make it past the first round? "
"Who was the one who said that he had the singing skills of a top singer?"
"The experts said so!"
"Hai, there's always a fear of comparison!"
"Yeah, I didn't think so in the past. I also felt that Brother Howl sang too well, but compared to The Clown, Petal Shower, Sunflower, and the others, Brother Howl is really lacking. Is this the difference between an amateur singer and a professional singer?"
"God of War's explosive power is good enough, but his stability is not as good as Sunflower's. He's far from it!"
"But Brother Howl is still a champion of a talent show after all! Didn't he lose too badly? "
"Then who is Lord Peacock?"
"Reveal!"
"Reveal!"
The audience started shouting again!
After a while, Lord Peacock also took off his mask!
"Wu Hefan!"
"Ah!"
"It's him!"
"It's Wu Hefan!"
"Damn, wasn't he overseas? Why did he come back? "
Wu Hefan was another very popular celebrity. He was a professional singer who had won the Best Newcomer Award at a Hong Kong and Taiwan awards two years ago. Last year, he was also nominated for the Most Popular Award at a music awards. He was very handsome and was one of the most good-looking people in the music industry. However, his singing skills and singing ability had never been highly praised by outsiders, nor did he receive much attention from others. This was because he had always sung some of the more popular songs and some of the more popular ones.
"So Wu Hefan's singing is quite good too!"
"Yeah, I really didn't expect him to come!"
"Aiyo, if I had known, I would have voted for him!"
"Damn, that's my Prince Charming!"
"Our Wuwu has been eliminated just like that? Please don't! "
Many of the female audience members were heartbroken. Many of the women in the studio stood up and shouted Wu Hefan's name.
Wu Hefan smiled, picked up the microphone and said, "Today, I actually came with the mentality of participating, with the mentality of learning from the seniors. After competing for a while, I really learned a lot." Then he smiled bitterly and said, "It's really amazing, I also lost wholeheartedly, there's nothing to say."
Amy said regretfully, "Little Bro, I knew it was you the moment you opened your mouth."
Wu Hefan chuckled and said, "Hello, Sister Amy."
Amy looked very young. The three members of Spring Garden all looked very young, but their ages were definitely not as young as their faces.
Amy sighed. "What a pity."
Wu Hefan was quite cheerful. "It's fine, Sister Amy."
Amy said, "You chose the wrong song today. With your ability, you could have sung even better."
Dong Shanshan suddenly smiled. "Actually, the eliminated contestants still have a chance."
Amy was taken aback. "Ah?"
Brother Howl and Wu Hefan also looked over.
Dong Shanshan smiled and said, "Before the grand finals, there will be a revival round. At that time, the eliminated contestants will be able to participate and fight for a spot in the grand finals."
Wu Hefan smiled. "I'll be back."
Amy immediately said, "Go for it, Little Bro. You'll definitely be fine!"
Chen Guang said, "Go for it too, God of War. Your voice is really good. If there's a chance in the future, let's exchange some pointers."
When Brother Howl heard that, he got very excited. Chen Guang had always been his idol. "Thank you, Teacher Chen. It'll be a great honor to receive your guidance!"
Chen Guang quickly said, "It's not really guidance. We'll just learn from each other."
The contestants left the stage.
Then, the second round of the battle for the Masked King would begin!
Thinking of this, the judges perked up one by one.
Some of the audience members also swept away their earlier absent-mindedness and perked up!
It's starting!
It's finally starting!
If the unveiling of the contestants was just an interlude for many of the audience, then the next round of the competition was clearly the main event!
The Clown was going to appear again!
No one could guess what kind of song he would sing this time!
