The next group.
Marshal Persona VS The Clown.
Yao Jiancai said, "This episode's Masked King isn't going to be easy."
Zhang Xia: "Yeah."
"Let's look at this group first," Chen Guang said.
Amy said, "Let's see which two people will advance to the next round and fight with Flowing Time for the Masked King."
Wang Zhuishu asked, "Who is this Marshal Mask?"
Chen Yidong: "This mask looks really good."
On the stage, Marshal Masquerade appeared. His domineering appearance attracted everyone's attention.
…
Backstage.
Zhang Ye was not affected by anyone. He had already started preparing to go onstage. He closed his eyes and was using the Taiji technique to calm himself down. No matter who his opponent was, no matter what region he was in, he just needed to sing his own song well.
It was that simple, wasn't it?
His impetuosity was fading away, and he was in a good state.
A moment later, Han Qi knocked on the door and entered. "Teacher Clown, Marshal Persona is almost done singing."
After two seconds, Zhang Ye opened his eyes and stood up. "Alright, let's go."
In front of him was the waiting area. Shi Guang was actually standing there with his arms crossed. It was unknown whether he was watching Marshal Masquerade's performance up close or waiting for The Clown.
Shi Guang looked at him. "I'll wait for you at the Promotion Zone."
The Clown glanced at him.
"But from the looks of it, it won't be easy for you to win either."
Han Qi looked at the stage with a solemn expression.
Marshal Masquerade's drunken voice was very charming.
He sang:
"Until many years after we broke up."
"I can't forget your gentleness."
"You once said that you were ugly and unworthy of me."
"Alright."
"I'll let go."
He finished singing.
Countless viewers were intoxicated!
"True strength!"
"He's definitely a great singer!"
"What a display of martial arts!"
"Alright!"
A few of the guests were also applauding and felt that it was not bad.
Zhang Xia asked, "Who recognized him?"
"The voice sounds familiar." Chen Guang racked his brains.
Dong Shanshan announced, "Let's welcome — The Clown!"
Yao Jiancai was stunned. "The Clown is in the same team as Marshal Persona?"
Amy said, "It's not easy for The Clown today. He's being attacked from both sides! If he enters the promotion zone, Time Light will be waiting for him. More importantly, he might not be able to win this match. "
Zhang Xia nodded and analyzed, "Unless he can come up with a particularly surprising song, it's already the fourth episode. Everyone knows that he can sing well. Although the audience will give him extra points in terms of their feelings for him, the novelty is probably wearing off. Their expectations for him will also be higher. That's why every step he and Petal Shower have taken has become very difficult. Let's see what song he'll sing today. That's the key."
"Being ranked as the ugliest celebrity on Weibo has also affected him. At the very least, some people might have a change in their attitude towards him." Chen Guang replied.
Amy tilted her head. "It's just a Celebrity Rankings Index that everyone jokes about, right? It can't be, right? "
"Because you're beautiful. You can't understand how hard it is for people like us to survive in the entertainment industry." Chen Guang replied calmly.
Amy said, "Aren't you doing quite well now?"
Chen Guang gave a wry smile. "That's because we have to suffer. You haven't seen it yet."
Yao Jiancai also felt it deeply. "In this industry, if others put in twice the effort, we have to put in five times or even ten times the effort. Even then, we might not necessarily get the same opportunities as others."
Zhang Xia sighed. "I can understand that."
Amy, Wang Zhuishu, and the others fell silent.
The Clown slowly walked onto the stage.
Han Qi silently said in her mind, Teacher, you can do it! You can do it!
Petal Shower came to the waiting area.
Sunset Glow also came.
The two of them did not expect to have such a tacit understanding.
Sunset Glow asked, "Why are you here?"
Petal Shower said, "The Clown's song should still be listened to live."
Sunset Glow smiled. "Same here."
Petal Shower asked, "Is The Clown really not good to look at?"
Sunset Glow nodded and said, "I asked him this morning, and he said yes."
Petal Shower said, "Who do you think will win?"
Sunset Glow said, "The Clown. He always surprises us."
The audience's reactions were also very different!
Some people cheered!
Some people jeered!
"It's finally The Clown's turn!"
"Looking forward to it!"
"What's there to look forward to? My male idol has been shattered!"
"Yeah, I imagined The Clown to be very handsome!"
"How would you know if you've never seen him before?"
"Someone on the Internet has analyzed him and guessed that his looks are indeed very average, so it should be pretty close to the mark. I still prefer male singers who are a little more handsome!"
"Me too."
"I used to really like The Clown, but now I can't bring myself to like him anymore! I only care about looks! Sob sob! "
"Marshal Persona will definitely be a handsome uncle!"
"That's right, I've already decided to vote for Persona!"
"I haven't thought about it yet. Is The Clown really that ugly?"
Especially the few young girls, they could not accept the fact that The Clown was not a handsome guy and were struggling with it.
The lights went off.
But The Clown did not start singing.
This was his habit. Everyone knew about it, so they fell silent!
Flowing Time was watching him from the audience. This was his first time listening to The Clown perform live.
The judges and audience were also watching him.
Zhang Ye stood onstage and felt the gazes of the countless people around him. For a moment, he did not know how to sing. It was like at this moment, countless complex emotions were piling up in his heart! It had been a very difficult journey for him. Some of it was seen by others, and some of it was not seen by others at all. But Zhang Ye had practically clenched his teeth and walked through it step by step. Because of his average looks, he could not even get past the lowest threshold of the entertainment circle. Because of his average looks, he had suffered a lot of criticism, doubts, and unfair treatment along the way! There were even people who used his looks to directly judge his character and character! He had seen it more than once. Some Korean stars' fans did not even know if they had gone through plastic surgery or what their personality was like in private. Just a casual greeting from that Korean star would cause the fans to go crazy, saying that he was a good person and that he was kind. Meanwhile, Zhang Ye had fought for the sake of his bullied fans. In order to seek justice for the commoners, he had scolded people. He had done a lot, really a lot. But no matter what Zhang Ye did, there would always be people scolding him!
Why?
Why was it like this?
Zhang Ye picked up the microphone, lowered his eyes, and gently put it to his lips.
The sound of a guitar played. It was very soft and light.
"Every night, in the wilderness of dreams, I'm a proud giant.
"Every morning, in front of the bathroom mirror, I find myself living on the razor's edge."
When they saw the title of the song, a lot of people were stunned!
Chen Guang was stunned!
Amy was shocked!
The audience was also stunned!
This …
This song …
Zhang Ye sang with his eyes closed.
"In the concrete jungle, in a life of being bossed around.
"Calculating the gap between dreams and reality.
Please believe me!
Please believe me!
I'm not a bad person!
I, Zhang Ye … am really not a bad person!
All of a sudden, he opened his eyes and looked at the audience. He looked at everyone and put his hand on his chest. Then he sang loudly to everyone in a shocking voice.
"I'm very ugly.
"But I'm very gentle.
"Cold on the outside.
"Fanatical on the inside.
"That's me!"
When he heard this, Chen Guang jumped to his feet!
"I'm very ugly!
"But I have music and beer.
"A little lowly.
"A little cowardly.
"But I never cower!"
Amy was already shouting. "Oh my God!"
Spinach was dumbfounded in the audience. "What the heck!"
Sunset Glow looked at Petal Shower in surprise. "This …"
Even Flowing Time was stunned!
The audience was also dumbfounded by what they heard. They even forgot to cheer and applaud. How could this be? How could there be a song like this?!
Zhang Ye was especially sincere today and couldn't control the emotions in his voice. His voice was even trembling a little as he did not bother to control the details of his voice! Because this was a song that he had always wanted to sing. Because this song contained the words that he had always wanted to say!
Yes.
I'm not good-looking!
In this entertainment circle filled with handsome men and beautiful women, I'm really not that good-looking. Don't think that I'm a host. Sometimes, I really don't know how to express myself. I don't know how to tell you what's in my heart. I, Zhang Ye, have never harmed anyone. I've never betrayed my conscience. I can give up everything I have for you. I can go through fire and water for my country and people. But I really don't know how to say these words!
I can dig out my heart for you to see!
Do you want to see?
I can really dig out my heart for you to see!
It was really red, it was hot!
Do you understand?
Can you … understand?
"Every morning.
"At the edge of the city.
"I'm a mask of loneliness.
"Every night.
"In the wilderness of music.
"But become a fanatical roaring giant.
"On a stage that stretches as far as the eye can see.
"On the other side of not being understood.
"Emitting the dignity of life and self."
All of a sudden, Zhang Ye grabbed at the front of his shirt again. He grabbed it very tightly and with a lot of strength, as though he wanted to dig his heart out.
"I'm very ugly!
"But I'm very gentle!
"The day is dark!
"The night is immortal!
"That's me!
"I'm very ugly!
"But I have music and beer!
"Sometimes I'm passionate!
"Sometimes I lower my head!
"Very good at waiting!"
Yao Jiancai's fists were clenched tightly at some point in time!
Chen Guang's eyes had reddened at some point in time. Whatever he wanted to say, The Clown had already said on his behalf. This song had practically resonated with his bones and made him wish he could pick up the microphone and go onstage right now!
The audience was also in an uproar!
On the screen, several of the male audience members could be seen crying!
This was not the effect of the show, nor were they hired by the production team. They were really crying. The atmosphere and atmosphere at the venue, coupled with The Clown's murderous singing, made many of those who could empathize with him lose control of themselves!
Yes, they were very ugly. They were petty!
But they were very gentle and never backed down!
A girl who had just said that she was obsessed with looks wiped her tears and said, "I only like handsome guys. I don't like celebrities who are not even a little bit good-looking. It was like that in the past and it will definitely be like that in the future! But can anyone tell me why? Why do I like The Clown so much! "
Suddenly, the music stopped.
Now, it was extremely quiet!
Zhang Ye raised the microphone. Only his gentle, acapella voice could be heard in the studio.
"I'm very ugly.
"But I'm very gentle.
"A little petty.
"A little cowardly.
"But I never backed down."
Flowing Time fell silent.
He had been silent ever since The Clown's first line. They asked themselves, if he were to use that Mandarin song from earlier to compete with The Clown on the same stage, would he be able to win?
The answer was no!
He realized that he might not be able to win!
No one could beat The Clown who sang this song!
