Was this asking for too much?
Petal Shower fell silent!
Sunset Glow fell silent!
The judges also fell silent!
After the song ended, The Clown took a deep breath and bowed to the audience. Then he turned around to adjust his emotions. Disappointment and anger were written all over his back!
The audience exploded!
In their eyes and in their ears, The Clown's song and voice were not magnificent at all. This song did not have any flashy high notes, nor did it have any technical transitions. He did not even care about the typhoon or the atmosphere on the stage. He just stood there quietly and told a story, a story that belonged only to him.
The lethality of this song was too great!
This resonance was too great!
"I Am a Little Bird."
Some of the audience members cried when they recalled their own experiences!
Some of the audience members clenched their fists angrily as they recalled their past experiences!
At this moment, the entire studio erupted in applause!
"So cool!"
"The Clown is so cool!"
"It's really good! He sang it really well! "
"I can't describe it anymore!"
"Someone has really stepped forward!"
"Damn, who said that this was a children's song? Step forward and I promise I won't beat you to death! "
"The Clown!"
"The Clown!"
"The Clown!"
A lot of people started shouting, and the more they shouted, the louder they became!
Dong Shanshan walked onto the stage and looked deeply at The Clown before saying, "Let's welcome Flowing Time onstage. It's time to vote."
Flowing Time gave a wry smile!
Why the fuck is it me again?
Why am I always the one standing beside him at such a crucial moment?
Flowing Time really did not want to go on stage, because he knew that it would be meaningless whether he went on stage or not. With this song in the first round, there was no way Flowing Time could beat The Clown even if he was beaten to death. Even he himself did not have any hopes of winning. Actually, he was also moved by the song, but he hid it very well and did not show it in his eyes. For a moment, he was very impressed by the song. He was not impressed by The Clown, but rather by the person who wrote this song.
Yao Jiancai could not wait to speak up. "Let the other teachers say the professional words. I can't say anything professional about music, but I want to cast my vote first. I'm voting for The Clown. I'll definitely vote for him!"
Chen Guang said, "I'm voting for The Clown."
Zhang Xia said, "The Clown."
Amy said, "The Clown."
Wang Zhuishu said, "The Clown."
Chen Yidong said, "I'll give it to The Clown too."
The guests did not say much. This was because at this critical juncture where the relevant associations were boycotting negative music works on a large scale, they could not say anything. Whatever evaluation they said would be wrong. This was because "I'm a Little Little Bird" was a song with negative energy. There was no positive energy at all! However, they did not run away or avoid suspicion. Instead, they used the most practical actions to express their views!
It was for The Clown!
There was no why!
The audience's voting began and ended very quickly.
The Clown: 422 votes!
Flowing Time: 78 votes!
The Clown won!
…
Offstage.
Hou Ge gave a wry smile and said, "Brother Hu, when The Clown submitted the song to us, there were no lyrics. We all thought that it was a children's song, so we did not think too much about it. Who would have thought …"
Dafei asked worriedly, "Can this be broadcasted?"
Hu Fei looked at the two of them. "Why can't we broadcast it?"
Dafei said, "But aren't those associations …"
Xiao Lu also asked, "If they come looking for trouble with us, will we be able to handle it?"
Hearing this, Hu Fei suddenly said, "Previously, I also felt that we should listen to the guidance of the relevant organizations and sing some 'positive energy' songs properly. But after listening to The Clown's song, I've suddenly changed my mind! Come looking for trouble with us? Then let them come looking for us! Zhang Ye is the biggest problem. We even dared to let the biggest problem in the entertainment industry be our executive producer, so why should we be afraid of any other trouble? "
Dafei was overjoyed. "Alright!"
Xiao Lu also got excited. "Understood!"
Suddenly, Petal Shower came over.
Hu Fei was taken aback and looked at her.
Petal Shower said, "Director Hu, it's a break now. I wanted to ask you something."
Hu Fei said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Petal Shower said seriously, "I want to change the song for the second round."
Dafei was taken aback. "Change the song? Right now? "
Petal Shower nodded. "Yes."
At this moment, Sunset Glow came over from afar. When she saw Petal Shower, she was also taken aback. She did not say anything and just walked up to Hu Fei. "Director Hu, I want to change the song. I want to change the second song."
Xiao Lu exclaimed, "You want to change the song too?"
Hu Fei looked at the two of them. "Can you tell me why?"
Petal Shower thought for a moment. "For the sake of our dignity."
Sunset Glow looked at her and nodded. "For the sake of our dignity."
Xiao Lu said anxiously, "But it's too late now. It's already —"
But Hu Fei said, "Alright! I'll approve it! "
Xiao Lu said, "Brother Hu, this …"
Hu Fei waved it off. "That's it. Hurry up and get ready!"
…
In the waiting room.
Zhang Ye came back alone and sat on the sofa. He drank some water and continued to stay silent. He had already sung what was on his mind, his experiences and circumstances over the past few years. But for some reason, he did not calm down. Instead, he got even angrier!
His cell phone vibrated in his bag.
Zhang Ye looked over and dug it out. It was his own cell phone. The caller ID showed that it was Wu Zeqing's secretary — Bai Li.
The call connected.
Zhang Ye said: "Hello."
Secretary Bai immediately said: "Is this Teacher Zhang?"
Zhang Ye said: "It's me."
"Chief Wu is currently overseas on a business trip, so it's not convenient to contact her. She asked me to tell you that she knows about the situation here in China and will handle it as soon as possible. I will also help to contact her on my end. Your two songs and …"
Zhang Ye suddenly said: "My matter doesn't matter. Secretary Bai, you can ban my songs A Letter to Home and The King Sent Me on Mountain Patrol. I'll accept it. I'm already mentally prepared for this. It's fine even if you take down the Brain Gold commercial and all of my works. I'll deal with the trouble I caused myself. Even if I don't handle it well in the end, I'll accept it! But what does this have to do with King of Masked Singers? What does this have to do with the other singers in the music industry? Can you all leave a way out for the singers? Can you all leave a way out for the television variety industry who are struggling on the front lines? Is that alright? "
When Secretary Bai heard that, she quickly said: "Teacher Zhang, you've misunderstood, you've really misunderstood. This matter was really not orchestrated by us, the SARFT. We did come up with a directive regarding the names of music or film works, but it was definitely not like this. I can assure you that this was not our original intention. It was a fake edict from the local Ministry of Culture! It was those television associations who were making a fuss! We definitely did not come up with such a directive for music works! We didn't ask for all songs to only be inspirational and positive! "
Bai Li did not know about the relationship between Zhang Ye and Wu Zeqing. Even if she knew about it, she still wouldn't know about it. But she was very sure of one thing, and that was that Chief Wu and Zhang Ye definitely had a close relationship. That was for sure. So Bai Li spoke very politely to Zhang Ye. She put herself in the right position and spoke to Zhang Ye the same way she spoke to Chief Wu.
Secretary Bai said: "Teacher Zhang, I'll handle this matter. I'll handle it right away. Those people are really too outrageous! Leave it to me! "
The call ended.
A knock on the door followed.
Zhang Ye put away his cell phone and said, "Please come in."
It was Han Qi, Xiao Lu, and the others blinking as they entered the room. "Teacher Clown."
"What's the matter?" Zhang Ye asked.
Xiao Lu said, "It's nothing. W-We're just here to have a look."
Han Qi said worriedly, "Teacher, are you alright?"
Zhang Ye nodded. "I'm fine."
Han Qi said, "Your condition today is different from before … I'm afraid …"
Today's The Clown was indeed different from before. Han Qi and the program team's staff also had an ominous feeling. They were afraid that The Clown would become pessimistic about the large-scale ban on his musical works by several associations and then do something irrational, such as withdrawing from the competition?
The program team staff beat around the bush for a long time.
Only then did Zhang Ye understand what they were worried about. For a moment, he laughed.
Withdraw from the competition?
Don't worry, I won't do that!
Even if the sky falls, I won't hide!
Besides, isn't the sky not falling yet?
Thinking of this, Zhang Ye was suddenly stunned.
His music works were taken off the shelves!
His advertisements were taken off the shelves!
He was banned!
His music works were restricted!
So many associations were pointing fingers at him!
Logically speaking, if it were anyone else, they would probably quit at a time like this. Even a clay figurine would get angry, much less a notorious person like Zhang Ye. Who in the entertainment industry didn't know about his bad temper? But now that things had come to this, Zhang Ye realized that even though he was angry and disappointed, deep in his heart, he still believed in a bright future!
He finally understood that deep down, he was not a pessimist. Perhaps he was just a natural believer in battle. He would feel lost, lonely, and hopeless, but this was a battle that belonged to him, and he would never back down!
