In the waiting area.
When The Clown and Spinach returned, they were surrounded by Yesterday's Daylily, Petal Shower, and Sunset Glow.
Petal Shower said in surprise, "Are you serious?"
The Clown smiled. "Yeah."
Sunset Glow took a deep breath and said, "How confident are you?"
The clown shook his head. "I don't know."
"I didn't know you dared to play like this?" Yesterday's Daylily was truly impressed.
Petal Shower thought about it and said, "If Sunflower sings his first song in Cantonese, I don't think I'll win. I've already confirmed with Bai Yuanfei that Sunflower's second song will be in Cantonese, so be careful." She had always known that if she wanted to eliminate Sunflower today, she would not be able to do it alone. This was because she could only fight against Sunflower once, so she needed a helper. She needed a helper who was as strong as her. But Petal Shower did not say anything because she could only ask for herself. She had no right to ask others to do it.
She also did not expect that someone would understand her meaning.
She also did not expect that the person who stepped forward would be The Clown!
Petal Shower had always felt that this person was especially mysterious and somewhat familiar. It was as though he was someone she knew, but at the same time, he was also a stranger. This was because she didn't seem to have any impression of this person.
The Clown was very calm. "Alright."
Spinach clenched her teeth and said, "You must win!"
The Clown smiled and said, "Mhm."
Could he win?
Zhang Ye did not know either, nor could he be bothered to think about it. He just did not like Sunflower, so he wanted to send him on his way. This was Zhang Ye's style. Even with a mask on, his character was still the same. If there was something he did not like, this fellow would step forward and step on it. Was there anything more fun in life than this?
…
Sunflower's lounge.
Assistant Xu came back angrily.
The camera in the room had been turned off. They did not ask to turn it on today.
Assistant Xu said, "The Clown did it on purpose!"
Sunflower grunted. "I know."
"He has entered the elimination zone. His next opponent will be you. You?" Assistant Xu asked worriedly.
Sunflower smiled. "Do you think I'll lose today?"
Assistant Xu said, "But the first round …"
Sunflower said, "For the next song, I'll sing a Cantonese song."
Assistant Xu was relieved!
Cantonese?
Then he would definitely win!
Even if The Clown had three heads and six arms, he couldn't possibly defeat Li Yu, who was singing a Cantonese song, with just a Mandarin song in today's setting and atmosphere. This was because the news had already spread like wildfire. A lot of the people in the venue had entered the venue with the mentality of wanting to hear Li Yu sing a Cantonese song. This anticipation had always been there. When Li Yu appeared on stage, he would definitely explode. At that time, no one would be able to stop him!
…
The Clown's lounge.
On the screen, the match between Sunset Glow and Yesterday's Daylily had already begun.
Han Qi came in angrily. "Teacher, you're taking too much of a risk!"
The Clown smiled. "I guess so."
Han Qi said anxiously, "That's Li Yu we're talking about. He's the most famous singer out of all of us!"
The biggest?
You can't say that, right?
Zhang Ye smiled without saying a word.
Actually, everyone thought that Sunflower was the most popular and famous contestant on King of Masked Singers. But in reality, no one knew, not even the program team officials, that this unknown Clown was actually much more famous than Sunflower!
Comparing popularity?
Do you think I'm afraid of you?
Zhang Ye was even confident that if he took off his mask and revealed his face, even if he were to sing "The Hottest Ethnic Trend" onstage, he would still be able to clinch the title of Masked King. But that would be meaningless. Zhang Ye's motive for coming here was not to compare popularity nor was he here to flaunt his prowess. The original intention of the show was to cast aside the halo that the celebrities had and compete in singing for real. Of course, he did not dare to take off his mask for fear that the show would be halted. That was why Zhang Ye looked down on Li Yu's arrogance and use of his popularity to suppress others.
I haven't even used my popularity to suppress you, yet you're trying to suppress me?
In the past, it was Zhang Ye who had personally kicked Li Yu off the A-list celebrity rankings.
As such, Zhang Ye found it a little funny.
Hmm, what song should he choose?
Which song would be more suitable?
Zhang Ye started mulling over it. He had prepared a total of four songs for today. "Life's More Than the Grind" had already been used, so there were only three songs left.
That one?
Or that one?
Using softness to overcome hardness?
Or using brute force against brute force?
He was a little unsure. This was really not a good choice.
He might as well not think about it anymore. Zhang Ye looked at the screen and watched the competition between Sunset Glow and Yesterday's Daylily.
He was not anxious, but Han Qi said anxiously, "Teacher, what are you doing?"
Zhang Ye said, "I'm watching the competition."
Han Qi nearly fainted. "We're in such a desperate situation, yet you're still in the mood for that? Then what will you do if you get eliminated in this round? Have you thought of what song to sing? I heard that you've lined up four songs? "
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
When the time comes?
It was almost time!
Han Qi was convinced. She really did not think that The Clown had any advantage. To put it bluntly, today was Sunflower's home ground. Even if The Clown sang better than Sunflower, he still wouldn't win, unless he was like Petal Shower, who could crush Sunflower's songs and singing skills!
Singing skills?
Everyone knew that The Clown was good enough!
But what about the songs?
What kind of songs could beat Li Yu, who was going to sing a Cantonese song?
...
Sunset Glow and Yesterday's Daylily had finished singing.
The voting began.
The results were out very quickly.
Sure enough, Sunset Glow won with an absolute advantage!
Yesterday's Daylily was not surprised. After a regretful smile, he congratulated Sunset Glow as well.
This showdown was also very exciting. Some of the audience members had a good time watching it. But when they thought of the elimination round that was about to begin, many of them got distracted again.
Sunflower?
The Clown?
Yesterday's Daylily?
Out of the three contestants, two of them had to be eliminated? Only one of them could stay?
This was too cruel! Did this episode have to be so exciting?
The Clown and Sunflower were currently the two contestants with the highest voter support. In everyone's opinion, these two were going to fight for the title of Masked King and had the absolute ability to do so. But today, the two of them were actually fighting for the right to "save their lives"? Out of the two of them, one of them had to be eliminated? No one had expected this development!
The elimination round was about to begin!
The audience was getting excited like they were on steroids!
"It's starting!"
"The competition is over, it's time for the elimination round!"
"Li Yu!"
"Li Yu!"
"Li Yu will win!"
"There's no suspense. There's no need to watch anymore!"
"Haha, Li Yu is going to sing his signature song!"
"A Cantonese song!"
"Hurry up and sing a Cantonese song!"
"Yeah, I've been waiting for a long time!"
"I came here today just to see Li Yu sing a Cantonese song!"
The atmosphere was heating up.
A lot of Li Yu's fans were waving their LED boards and cheering him on!
The guessing panel.
Zhang Xia asked, "Who do you guys think will win?"
Chen Yidong smiled and said, "It's definitely going to be Li Yu."
Wang Zhuishu gave it some thought. "Actually, I hope that The Clown will win. But I can't think of a reason why Sunflower would lose. He has the right timing, the right location, and the right people."
Amy was worried. "The Clown is in great danger!"
Yao Jiancai did not quite understand. He asked, "Didn't Petal Shower just win?"
Chen Guang explained, "Sunflower will be singing a Cantonese song. For a Hong Kong singer like him, singing a Cantonese song and a Mandarin song are two completely different concepts!"
Yao Jiancai said, "Oh, so that's how it is."
Onstage.
Dong Shanshan held up a cue card and read a part of the advertisement. Then she smiled and said, "Next up, we'll be entering the elimination round. Let's welcome our first contestant — Sunflower in the Starlight!"
Instantly, cheers rang out!
"Li Yu!"
"Li Yu!"
"Li Yu!"
His popularity was too high!
Before he even started singing, many of the audience members were already standing up!
Then the title of the song appeared on the teleprompter overhead. When they saw the title, some of the audience members screamed even louder!
This was a pure Cantonese song!
It was a love song!
One of Li Yu's masterpieces!
"I Really Hate You."
Lyrics: Xu Fei.
Composer: Li Yu.
This was the first song Li Yu sang when he debuted. Back then, this song was not very popular, but it had a special meaning to Li Yu. He would sing this song at almost every concert he attended. Gradually, a lot of people became familiar with this song and also liked it!
"This is great!"
"I really like this song!"
"Li Yu's Virgo! I'm so looking forward to it! "
"There's no hope left for The Clown!"
"That's right!"
