In the studio.
Flowing Time's performance ended.
The audience applauded enthusiastically, but the private discussions were not as enthusiastic as they seemed on the surface.
"How nice."
"Yeah, it's really nice."
"But I still feel like it's missing something!"
"It's all children's songs today!"
"Yeah, I've listened to three songs already. One by the replacement singer, one by Sunset Glow, and one by Flowing Time. Oh right, the other replacement singer's song also had lyrics from a nursery rhyme added at the end, but the melody was changed by him. It's a little creative, but even though it's nice, it can't stand listening to so many songs. The positive energy is not bad, but isn't this too much positive energy?"
"What can we do about it? All of the singers have been singled out!"
"It's not just King of Masked Singers. It's the same for all the other singing shows as well."
"Hai, is there no singer with backbone who can step forward?"
"Who can step forward? The bird that sticks out gets shot! "
"Do you think everyone is like Zhang Ye?"
"Speaking of Teacher Zhang, I really miss him. If Teacher Zhang were on stage, it would definitely be wonderful. He wouldn't care about the Ministry of Culture or the television association!"
"Haha, that's right. That's just Zhang Ye's temper!"
"That can't be wrong. I also scold Zhang Ye a lot sometimes. But after not seeing him for a few days, I really feel like he's missing something. Don't you think he's sick?"
"What a pity that Zhang Ye isn't on this stage."
"Teacher Zhang has been completely blacklisted. I wonder when he'll be able to return to the industry."
"Hai, the entertainment industry without Zhang Ye is so boring!"
"It's The Clown's turn!"
"He's the last one!"
"Let's see what he'll sing."
Dong Shanshan's voice rang out. "Let's welcome the last singer — The Clown."
The audience applauded. Everyone was still looking forward to The Clown's performance.
The Clown went onstage.
The title of the song was displayed on the teleprompter.
— "I'm a Little Bird"?
The audience was speechless when they saw it.
"Damn."
"It's another children's song?"
"Little Bird? It's definitely a children's song! "
"I'm sick of listening to it!"
"Can you guys stop singing children's songs? I beg of you! "
"This bunch of people from the television association are just messing around! What a good singing show, yet they've been forced into this state? This bunch of singers … None of them have any backbone? "
"How boring!"
"Yeah, no one dares to come out and shout?"
"Actually, this is already pretty good. You guys haven't seen the other singing talent shows, they are all red hot songs."
"Hai, even now thinking of Zhang Ye, I refuse to go to Jiangdong!"
Backstage.
The singers who had finished their performances were all sitting in the tea room.
Shi Guang, who had just returned, glanced at the television without saying anything.
The new replacement singer said, "The Clown is also a children's song?"
"I'm a little bird?" Sunset Glow blinked.
Petal Shower said with some emotion, "What else can we sing if not nursery rhymes? This is the safest choice! "
Another replacement singer sighed and said, "Right now, the wind is blowing. We'd better be careful."
On the stage.
The guests also looked at each other.
Another nursery rhyme?
Sigh.
Chen Guang smiled bitterly.
Zhang Xia and Amy were expressionless.
Even they felt that today's episode was boring.
The lights dimmed.
The music started.
When some of the audience saw the title of the song, they became absent-minded for a moment.
Suddenly, The Clown's voice rang out without warning. When he sang, a lot of people were stunned and caught off guard!
"Sometimes I feel like a little bird.
"I want to fly.
"But I can't fly high no matter what."
Everyone was stunned!
This was not a nursery rhyme!
Fuck!
This was not a nursery rhyme!
It was a fucking rock song!
In the tea room, Petal Shower's eyes changed!
Flowing Time also widened his eyes in astonishment!
This song …
These lyrics …
The audience suddenly perked up!
The Clown's eyes were filled with despair and gloom.
"Perhaps one day I'll perch on a branch.
"But I'll become the hunter's target.
"Only when I soar into the sky did I realize that I have no one to rely on.
What more can I ask for when I cross the sky?
Not daring to turn around, I've already hit my head.
A tattered hat covers my face through the busy streets.
A leaky boat carries wine in midstream.
He was really annoyed!
He was thoroughly disappointed!
The Clown's voice trembled slightly. "Every time it's late at night, I can't fall asleep."
He pointed at his chest and poked it hard. "I wonder if I'm the only one who hasn't changed for the better tomorrow.
"What will the future hold?
"Who would know?"
"Whether happiness is just a legend.
"I can never find it."
Chen Guang gritted his teeth as he listened!
Yao Jiancai was stunned!
Amy was also deeply shocked by The Clown's singing. She did not even notice that her mouth was agape in a very ungraceful manner. She just listened to him in a daze!
The Clown suddenly sang loudly.
"I'm a little, little, little, little bird!
"I want to fly and fly! But I can't fly high no matter what!
"I seek, seek, seek, seek, seek, seek, for a warm embrace!
"Is such a request considered too much?"
Countless audience members stood up abruptly!
"This is great!"
"Oh my god!"
"The Clown! The Clown! "
The audience was extremely excited!
In the tea room, the contestants were also shocked!
Flowing Time said, "He really dares to sing it?"
Even a fool could tell that other than the title sounding like a nursery rhyme, the rest of the content had nothing to do with a nursery rhyme!
The Clown closed his eyes.
"Everyone who knows my name, how about you?"
"The world is so small.
"We're destined to have nowhere to run.
"When I've tasted the fickleness of human nature.
"When you decide to burn for your ideals.
"Which is more important, the stress of life or the dignity of life."
To me, dignity is more important!
To me, it's even more important than life itself!
But I've tried my best!
I've really tried my best!
I'm not asking for much. I just want to work in peace and find a place that suits me and accepts me. But why isn't there any? Why am I still unable to go anywhere?
Is it really that difficult?
Is this request really that difficult?
Han Qi cried when she heard it. It was as though The Clown's singing had some sort of magic to it. She didn't know why her tears were flowing. She did not know who The Clown was, nor did she know what had happened to him. But she knew that it had to be a sad, angry, and desolate story!
Teacher Clown.
Who are you?
Just how much have you experienced to be able to sing such a song!
The Clown's voice suddenly rose a notch.
Was he confused?
Or shouting?
Or was he asking the world a question?
"I'm a little, little, little, little bird!
"If I want to fly, fly!
"But I can't fly high no matter what!
"I seek, seek, seek! Seek! Seek! A warm embrace!
"Is such a request considered too much?"
The Clown gave a self-deprecating laugh. Then he suddenly lowered his voice. With his disappointment towards this industry and his questioning of the world, he sang, "Is such a request considered too much?
