He finished singing.
The Clown put down his electric guitar, bowed, and left the stage.
The applause from the audience gradually rang out. Many of them had not even recovered from the scene in the song when the song ended!
Two minutes was actually very short.
"I haven't heard enough yet!"
"Why is this song so good!"
"I love it so much!"
"Me too, I love it so much!"
"Miss Dong? Who did The Clown sing it for? "
"Who is Miss Dong?"
"I don't think it's his lover, but it's definitely someone very important to him!"
"This song is really flavorful. This folk song really makes me feel like I'm back in school!"
"Although I don't know what some of the lyrics mean or what kind of story it has, I'm sure that Miss Dong will understand it. It's really nice. "
"Whose birthday is today?"
"Mine is. It's my birthday today!"
"Your surname is Dong?"
"My surname is not Dong, but my second uncle's surname is Dong."
"Get lost! Who's asking about your second uncle! "
The stage was empty.
The audience in the audience was in a flurry of discussion.
The judges were also having a discussion.
Zhang Xia said, "This song is actually … how should I put it?"
Chen Guang shook his head. "It's hard to say."
Wang Zhuishu also said, "Let's talk about it later. It should be Sunset Glow's turn, right? Eh? Where's the host? Why isn't anyone announcing? "
Sunset Glow was already waiting in the back.
However, the host, Dong Shanshan, was still standing in the audience in a daze. It was as though she had lost her soul and was thinking about something. She had even forgotten to announce.
Xiao Lu quickly ran over. "Teacher Shanshan!"
Dong Shanshan turned around. "Ah?"
Dafei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What's the matter?"
Xiao Lu smiled and said, "The Clown has finished singing."
Only then did Dong Shanshan realize what was going on. She immediately went onstage. "Next, let's welcome — Sunset Glow."
Dafei whispered to Xiao Lu, "Could The Clown's song really be sung for Shanshan?"
"That can't be." Xiao Lu blinked and said, "Teacher Shanshan's birthday is next month, so the dates don't match."
Sunset Glow went onstage.
The band took the stage.
Zhang Ye did not go far. He was listening to Sunset Glow's performance in the audience. In his peripheral vision, he noticed that someone's gaze had fallen on his face. He turned his head and looked into the distance.
It was Dong Shanshan!
Zhang Ye smiled and looked away.
He was very satisfied with the song he sang today and was very serious about it. There were a few parts of the lyrics that he changed slightly. For example, "Falling in love with a wild horse" was changed to "Getting to know a wild horse", and "Putting out a cigarette and reminiscing about the past" was changed to "Closing a book and reminiscing about the past" because Dong Shanshan did not smoke. Another example was the last line, "Happy birthday, Miss Dong." He sang it in his own way. He wasn't singing the original version of "Miss Dong" sung by Song Dongye or Zuo Li, but the "Miss Dong" in his heart.
Sunset Glow's performance had already begun.
"That day, none of us spoke."
"At the station, you frowned."
"At this moment, I suddenly want to grab your hand."
"But I didn't."
"I didn't."
It was still a love song!
It was still as pleasant as before!
It was still as exquisite as ever!
Sunset Glow was really godly today. It was as if she had suddenly been enlightened. She did not know why but she suddenly erupted. All of her singing skills were vividly displayed at this moment!
Even Zhang Ye could not help but want to praise it!
The song ended!
The applause went on for a long time!
Zhang Ye was also clapping with a smile from the audience.
At some point in time, Dong Shanshan had already walked onto the stage. "Let's welcome The Clown back onstage."
Zhang Ye took a step forward and went back onstage.
Dong Shanshan was still very professional. She had a smile on her face and did not look at The Clown again. "The tiebreaker is over. What do the judges think? Or perhaps you can vote directly? Your vote will decide who will be the Masked King for today's episode, so please choose wisely. "
Yao Jiancai nodded. "Understood, Miss Dong."
Dong Shanshan said, "Then please vote, Mr. Biting."
The judges all laughed.
The audience also cheered for a bit.
Biting Building Materials. This was a joke from Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai's crosstalk, where Zhang Ye often trampled on Old Yao.
After joking around for a while, it was time to get down to business.
Wang Zhuishu was the first to give his evaluation. "I think that Sunset Glow performed very well today. No matter how picky you are, you can't find any fault with it. It's really good. Her singing and emotions are all on point. The Clown's previous two songs were also very good. But the third song, 'Miss Dong,' is not as good as the previous two songs, be it the melody or the lyrics. Of course, this is just my personal opinion because I'm also a songwriter, so I'm very mindful of that. Although I also know that it's not easy to create original songs, especially since they're all original songs that the audience has never heard before, it would be the first time for everyone to listen to them. But since I'm on this stage, I have to give an objective evaluation. "
The Clown smiled.
Dong Shanshan looked at Wang Zhuishu. "Then what's your opinion?"
Wang Zhuishu said, "My vote is for Sunset Glow!"
Sunset Glow bowed in thanks.
The Clown also applauded from the side.
Chen Guang spoke up, "Let me say a few words as well. This is a ballad and is rather quiet. Generally speaking, an electric guitar would not be used. But I can understand why The Clown chose to play and sing on an electric guitar today. It's because the stage is too big and there are too many people in the audience. In such a setting, he was afraid that an acoustic guitar would not be able to hold down the audience, so he switched to an electric one. But even though he suppressed the noise to a very low level and tried to adjust the rhythm of the electric guitar, everyone has their own opinion. I still feel that it's too dry, so I reserve my opinion on this point. Yes, I'll give this vote to Sunset Glow as well. "
Sunset Glow thanked him.
The Clown nodded and applauded.
Chen Yidong said, "I think that the electric guitar is fine. He played it really well, so I can accept this change. I don't think it's a problem, but I don't really understand this song, so I'm sorry, but I'll give my vote to Sunset Glow."
Of the six contestants, Sunset Glow had already won three votes!
The audience exploded.
"What?"
"Why are they all voting for Sunset Glow?"
"Damn, I like 'Miss Dong'!"
"Me too! It's such a good song! "
"What do you mean I don't understand it?"
"The previous judges gave very good reviews, but this time, I feel that they have their limitations! They're not professional! "
"With just one more vote, Sunset Glow will win!"
"Actually, it doesn't matter who wins. I think that both of them sang very well today, but if you say that 'Miss Dong' isn't good? I won't agree to that! "
Many of the audience members had their opinions!
However, the votes for the tiebreaker were up to the judges, not them.
At this moment, Zhang Xia also spoke up. "Perhaps it's because I'm getting old, but I don't really understand what 'Miss Dong' is trying to express. Also, this song is a little too bland. I know that folk songs are like that, but in a live competition like this, this song is at a disadvantage. Yes, I'll also give my vote to Sunset Glow. She deserves to be the Masked King today!"
Four votes!
Sunset Glow had actually won!
It was Yao Jiancai's turn to speak. He said, "'Miss Dong' is also quite a good song, but compared to The Clown's previous songs, there's still a gap. It doesn't showcase his singing skills either. Although I've always supported The Clown and really like him, I still have to give my vote to Sunset Glow today."
Five votes!
Sunset Glow bowed in thanks. "Thank you, Teacher."
But for some reason, Sunset Glow did not look happy or excited at all. She was looking at The Clown with a slightly unhappy look in her eyes.
The Clown gave a wry smile.
Why are you looking at me?
What's with that look?
Following that, the last guest teacher spoke.
Amy was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "In the past, even if my opinions differed a little from the other guests, our general understanding was still pretty much the same. But that's really not the case today." She stood up a little agitatedly and protested for The Clown, "I know Sunset Glow and have already confirmed her identity. Logically speaking, I should also give my vote to her. We've known each other for so many years, but I really can't give my vote today. If I were to vote, I would vote 100%, 500%, or even 1,000% for The Clown! There's no need for that at all! "
When many of the audience members heard that, they suddenly started clapping for Amy!
Amy looked at the guest next to her. "What's wrong with an electric guitar? It's not like no one has ever sung a folk song with an electric guitar before! Is this song not nice? How can that be? When I heard the third line, I got goosebumps all over. "She touched her arm." I still can't get it down! "
Bba bba bba bba!
The audience's applause rang out again!
Chen Guang gestured with his hands and said with a smile, "Calm down, calm down."
Zhang Xia also said, "It's normal for people to have different opinions."
When Amy heard that, she sat down and said, "Yes, folk songs are not mainstream. Usually, no one would use a folk song to compete in a competition. But this' Ms. Dong 'is definitely not a typical folk song, and The Clown's singing was definitely not ordinary either. So I can't accept this result."
Wang Zhuishu laughed and said, "But it's five to one."
That was how the rules were set.
Of the six guests, five felt that "Ms. Dong" was just average. Since Sunset Glow was crowned as the Masked King today, it was useless for Amy to say anything.
Dong Shanshan smiled and said, "Then let us congratulate Sunset Glow for becoming this episode's Masked King!"
Sunset Glow gave her acceptance speech.
The Clown quietly left the stage.
Looking at Amy, Zhang Ye smiled to himself. He quite liked this girl. She did not hold back when she spoke and was even more impulsive than him at times. Actually, Zhang Ye could accept this result. It wasn't that he felt that this song could not compare to Sunset Glow, but that he knew that in his previous world, "Ms. Dong" was not a song that would become popular after listening to it a few times. Sometimes, after listening to it a few times, you might start to think of your own Ms. Dong and fall in love with the song. As such, Zhang Ye did not really care about the result. If he really wanted to be crowned Masked King today, he would not have chosen this song.
It didn't matter if the guests did not like it.
Even if the audience did not like it, it didn't matter.
As long as Dong Shanshan liked it, it was fine. As long as Dong Shanshan could understand it, it was fine. Today, he was giving this song to Dong Shanshan alone!
Happy birthday.
Ms. Dong.
