Onstage.
Dong Shanshan smiled and said, "Let's welcome the next singer — The Clown!"
Applause rang out.
"He's here."
"It's The Clown."
"He's coming on after Li Yu. How unlucky of him."
"Haha, it doesn't matter what he sings anymore."
"Li Yu sang really well."
"That's right. That's the song that made him famous."
"Li Yu is still the most eye-catching when he sings Cantonese!"
Even if The Clown performs as earth-shattering as Petal Shower today, he still won't be able to win this round like Petal Shower did. This is decided by the song genre. No matter how good The Clown's Mandarin singing is, a lot of people won't compare Li Yu's Cantonese singing to him. That's because there's no way to compare them since they're not of the same style and language. Since there's no way to compare them, it doesn't matter who sings better since everyone can't differentiate who sings better and who doesn't. All that's left is a contest of popularity. And how many people here don't know who Li Yu is? Who wouldn't give him some face! "
"Then The Clown will definitely lose?"
"Of course."
"He can only blame himself for admitting defeat."
The audience was clapping, but the applause was not very enthusiastic. It was just a symbolic welcome. Although there were still a lot of people who were not Li Yu's fans who were looking forward to The Clown's performance and wanted to see if he would sing an original song again, many of the audience members could already see the outcome very clearly.
Li Yu did not go back to his seat and waited in the waiting area. He looked up at The Clown and sneered to himself. He deliberately admitted defeat so that he could eliminate me in the elimination round?
Sure!
Bring it on!
What Mandarin song are you going to sing this time? I'm all ears!
The Clown went onstage and walked straight over to the band.
The band teacher looked at him. "Which song?"
The Clown answered, "The third song we rehearsed."
Music Director Bai Yuanfei broke out in a sweat. "Are you serious?"
"I'm very serious." Zhang Ye smiled.
The band's guitarist said in a speechless manner, "Why did you choose songs that we didn't think highly of? Out of the four songs you rehearsed, we only thought highly of the other two, but you chose these two? "
Zhang Ye said, "Because you guys haven't heard me sing before."
Indeed, The Clown only hummed during the rehearsal and did not open his mouth to sing.
The drummer said, "Are you sure?"
Zhang Ye said, "It must be this song!"
Bai Yuanfei nodded. "Alright, you're the singer, so you make the decision."
After changing the music score, the band got ready.
The audience was baffled.
In the stands, his dad asked, "What's the matter?"
His eldest younger sister said, "Did he decide on the song on the spot?"
His mother exclaimed, "You can even do that?"
The eldest younger sister said, "Usually, no one would do something like that because it's too risky."
At the guest seats.
Zhang Xia sighed and said, "If The Clown is eliminated, it would be such a pity."
Amy directly told them that these words would not be broadcasted, so she did not hold back. "The crux of the matter is that it's unfair. This is no longer a competition of music and singing. With Sunflower's actions, it has become a competition of popularity."
Chen Guang said, "The Clown also has a chance of winning."
Yao Jiancai asked, "Oh? How do we win? "
"His identity has also been exposed. Remove his mask now." Chen Guang replied.
Amy gave a wry smile. "The Clown would never do something like that!"
Chen Guang threw up his hands. "That's why he can't win. With Li Yu exposing his identity as a Hong Kong singer and the atmosphere in the stadium, there's no way he can win by using a Mandarin song to compete with Li Yu."
Amy said, "Then there's no hope for him at all."
The stage was ready.
The band nodded at The Clown.
The lights dimmed.
All eyes in the stadium immediately fell on The Clown.
One second.
Two seconds.
The music did not start because The Clown was still regulating his breathing.
Those female fans of Li Yu from before started shouting again without warning.
"Hurry up!"
"Why isn't it starting yet?"
"Brother Li Yu, you can do it!"
"Li Yu is the best!"
In the quiet studio, these voices were very clear!
After shouting, the girls even looked at each other and started giggling!
In the audience, Li Yu was also laughing.
Backstage, Assistant Xu was also gloating.
However, the judges were frowning.
Some of the surrounding audience members were also looking at them unhappily. They were a little disgusted!
But Zhang Ye was not in a hurry to start. It was as though he had not heard anything at all. At this moment, he had already forgotten about winning or losing. All he could think about was those text messages his mother had sent him. He couldn't help but raise his head and look in the direction of his parents in the audience. He couldn't see them clearly as they were quite far away, but he still managed to find his parents' seats.
His parents were also looking at him.
At this moment, a sense of guilt welled up in him.
Zhang Ye had been in a good mood for the past few days. He had bought breakfast twice and done the laundry twice. But the way his parents reacted made Zhang Ye want to laugh. Did they think that he was abnormal? That he was short on money? That he had a favor to ask of them? But in the end, they quickly transferred 10,000 yuan to him?
It was indeed a very funny thing to do.
But right now, Zhang Ye really could not bring himself to laugh.
He felt very guilty. His contribution to the family was too little. Even though he had only done a tiny bit of housework, his parents were flattered. Actually, thinking about it now, Zhang Ye felt very embarrassed. He suddenly felt that he was not a good son. He suddenly felt that he had a lot of things he wanted to say!
The music started.
It was the soft sound of a guitar.
The title of the song was also displayed on the teleprompter.
When they saw the title of the song, a lot of people were stunned!
"I Really Love You"!
Zhang Xia was stunned!
Chen Guang was stunned!
Petal Shower and Spinach were stunned!
Li Yu was stunned with a dark expression!
The audience was also dumbfounded!
"I Really Hate You"?
"I Really Love You"?
Zhang Ye faced the direction where his parents were seated and gently raised the microphone. When he sang the first verse, everyone in the studio, including the program team, judges, contestants, and audience, were all dumbfounded. They could not believe their ears, and a few of the audience members even jumped out of their seats in shock!
The Clown sang softly.
"An opponent that cannot be fixed.
"Bringing out the warmth that's always behind me.
"Even if I'm long-winded, I'm still paying attention.
"Not knowing how to cherish it makes me feel guilty."
Amy screamed, "Ah!"
Zhang Xia was dumbfounded!
Chen Guang stared with wide eyes!
Petal Shower said hoarsely, "What?"
Spinach said dumbfoundedly, "He, he …"
Hu Fei was dumbfounded!
The audience was also dumbfounded!
It was a Cantonese song!
The Clown was actually singing a Cantonese song as well!
And why was his Cantonese so fucking standard?
Why?
Oh my God!
Oh my God!
Countless people in the studio looked like they had seen a ghost!
The accompaniment band members were also astonished in an instant!
The Clown sang with his eyes closed.
"Intoxicated by the musical scale, she doesn't appreciate it.
"But a mother's love will never give way.
"Determined to break through the struggle in my heart.
"Kindness can always be repaid.
"Like the spring breeze and rain that warms my heart.
"A lifetime of blessings is bestowed without words."
Suddenly, the guitarist, who had been moving away, came to a screeching halt!
A second later, the drumbeat abruptly rang out. The guitar, bass, and drum accompaniment all came in at once, and the music exploded in the studio!
The entire studio was shocked!
Everyone felt like their blood was boiling!
The Clown pointed in the direction of the audience.
"It's you!
"What a warm gaze!
"Taught me to persevere and look ahead!
"Warned me not to give up when I stumble!
"How can I repay kindness if I can't explain it!
"The magnanimity of love is infinite!"
"Please allow me to say that I really love you!"
Dad.
Mom.
I'm not really good with words, nor do I know how to express myself. When I'm with others, I talk a lot. When I meet a friend, I can chat with them for an entire day and night. When someone provokes me, I can scold them for three days and three nights. But in front of all of you, there are times when I can't even say a word. I don't know what to say or how to express myself.
But …
I really love all of you!
I … I really love all of you!
In the audience, Zhang Ye's mother suddenly burst into tears. For some reason, she suddenly started crying!
Zhang Xia's eyes reddened as she looked at her aged hands. Somehow, tears started dripping down her cheeks. She reached up to wipe them away, but realized that the more she wiped, the more tears flowed down her cheeks.
In the studio, a lot of the mothers were crying!
A lot of their children were also gritting their teeth!
They didn't know what was wrong with them, but they felt that this song was too good!
It was really too good!
Zhang Ye sang.
"An opponent that can't be improved upon.
"Bringing out the warmth that's always on my back.
"Even if I'm long-winded, I'm still paying attention.
"Not knowing how to cherish, I feel too guilty.
"I still remember that heartwarming opponent."
"Always taking care of me, never changing.
"My dream has finally come true. Sharing the glory of hope.
"The spring breeze and rain have warmed my heart.
"A lifetime of care has been silently bestowed."
The music stopped!
It suddenly exploded!
Zhang Ye sang loudly.
"It's you! What a warm gaze! "
At this moment, a lot of people could no longer hold it in. They all stood up from their seats and followed the rhythm, waving the glow sticks in their hands. A lot of them had tears on their faces and a lot of them had looks of shock on their faces. No one could believe that The Clown could actually sing such a song!
"Teaching me to persevere and look ahead!
"Telling me not to give up when I stumble!
"How can I repay the kindness of my family if I can't explain it!
"My love is boundless!
"Please allow me to say that I really love you!"
Screams!
Applause!
The entire studio was about to be turned upside down!
All of a sudden, the music stopped again.
There was no sound at all!
The audience subconsciously stopped applauding and shut their mouths. They were all staring at The Clown onstage in a daze. The entire studio was eerily quiet!
The Clown raised his microphone.
Dad.
Mom.
Thank you, everyone.
Thank you for raising me up.
Thank you for teaching me about right and wrong.
I …
I …
The Clown raised his microphone and put it down again.
One second.
Two seconds.
Everyone in the studio was looking at him.
The Clown raised his microphone for the third time.
"Please allow me to say that
"Say that I really love you.
"I really love you.
