The finals were nearing.
The large-scale promotions for King of Masked Singers had also entered the final stages. There were TV commercials, online video advertisements, newspapers, and advertorials, and everything else.
The heated discussion on the Internet was also in full swing.
"Have you seen the latest promotional video?"
"I saw it, I saw it!"
"Haha, Sunset Glow's guest partner looks very familiar!"
"The Clown's partner has also been confirmed!"
"Why did The Clown's guest partner skate by with just one sentence?"
"Yeah, he didn't even show his back, nothing at all. What's going on?"
"The original words were 'invite a mystery guest'. What mystery guest? He doesn't even have a title like 'heavyweight' or 'famous'. "
"Is it because he's not famous?"
"That might be true."
"F * ck, don't tell me the resourceful netizens really guessed it correctly?"
"The Clown is really not famous? The people he knew were all C- or D-listers? So he didn't know how to write the introduction, so he just wrote a mystery guest? You simply brushed it off? "
"No way! I'm looking forward to it. "
"That's not good for The Clown."
"It's too disadvantageous. If the guest's reputation is bad, how can he compete for the championship?"
"If that's the case, I'm more optimistic that Petal Shower will win."
"I think Sunset Glow will win!"
"I'm Shi Guang's brainless fan!"
"The situation is indeed not in The Clown's favor. It was the same with 'The Internationale.' Although it brought him a lot of popularity and supporters, there were also a lot of people who disliked the song, so it was quite controversial."
…
At home.
One call after another came in.
Zhang Ye had not been idle for the past two days. A lot of people had come to look for him. Most of their matters were similar, and almost all of them had the same goal in mind.
Old colleague Ha Qiqi:
"Director Zhang, please get us some tickets."
"How much?"
"Since those people from the Central TV Documentary Channel want to go, they sent me as their representative. I think a dozen or so tickets should be enough."
"Sure, no problem."
"Thank you, Director Zhang."
Then there were relatives.
"Little Ye."
"Hey, third uncle."
"A few of my colleagues would like to attend the finals of King of Masked Singers. Can you get us a few tickets?"
"Sure."
"Three will be enough."
"Alright, I'll get it done for you."
In the end, even Dong Shanshan found him.
"Zhang 'er, book five tickets."
"F * * k, you're the host, why are you asking me for it?"
"Hehe, the tickets for the finals are too popular. Many people are waiting for them. I can still get one or two tickets, but five tickets is out of the question. You have a lot of face, so help me out."
"Alright, I got it."
"I'll treat you to a meal next time."
"You always say you're going to treat me to a meal, but I haven't seen you even once."
"I'll definitely invite him this time."
"Alright, I'm really listening."
After settling these small matters, Zhang Ye continued practicing his singing.
He had been practicing the songs for the finals for a full two days. For this, he had specially found a place where no one would disturb him. He left early and returned late, practicing almost day and night. He had sung it countless times, but he was still not satisfied. In the end, when his voice was almost hoarse and he felt dizzy, he quickly stopped and took a break. After eating a bowl of instant noodles, he thought about it and found the problem.
It was not that he did not sing well!
It was that Zhang Yuanqi sang too well!
Previously, after eating several hundred singing skill books, Zhang Ye felt that he was invincible. He felt that when it came to singing, he would not lose to anyone. But after listening to Zhang Yuanqi's audition, he felt that he was a frog in a well. Actually, Zhang Ye could not even compare to people like Petal Shower and Chen Guang. In some aspects, he might be better than them, but in other aspects, he was still worse than them. Zhang Yuanqi's song had given him quite a shock. It made Zhang Ye feel that he could no longer hold the stage. It was supposed to be his stage, and Old Zhang was only a side singer. But in that audition, Zhang Ye had become a supporting character instead. Others might not be able to tell, but he could feel it. This definitely wouldn't do!
What should he do?
He couldn't possibly let Old Zhang sing worse on purpose, right? That would be so embarrassing!
The only way was for Zhang Ye to improve himself. The finals would only be held once, and there would only be one champion. Furthermore, it was even going to be a live broadcast, so Zhang Ye had to give it his all!
He immediately opened up the game ring's interface. He had too many Reputation Points now, so he could spend them freely. For the time being, he did not need to worry about not having enough.
He activated the Lucky Halo (Upgraded)!
— 100000!
— 100000!
He immediately clicked on the Lottery Draw (1)!
Additional Stakes: 500!
The compass was activated!
The needle began to spin!
One round …
Two rounds …
Three rounds …
It stopped at the Skills Category region.
The Treasure Chest (Small) appeared.
[Arrangement Skill Experience Book] 501
Arrangement?
He got this?
Zhang Ye was taken aback, but he was still quite satisfied with it. In the past, his song arrangements were mostly based on the original arrangements from his previous world. There would be some slight changes, but not too much. They were all based on the arrangements he had heard before, and he would also have to listen to the band's opinions. After all, Zhang Ye was not a professional in this area, so he could only leave some of the arrangements to the band and music director. If he could arrange the song himself, then the situation would definitely be different. He could be bolder and have more freedom, adding everything that he needed into the song. The song that he arranged would undoubtedly be the most suitable for him, and the overall performance of the song would definitely be improved!
Good stuff!
Eat it!
Zhang Ye began to study them one by one.
Following that, he started the second round of the lottery draw.
It was another additional stakes of 500.
The Lucky Halo (Upgraded) was activated by him once again!
One round …
Two rounds …
The needle came to a stop!
And it was still in the Skills Category region!
[Singing Skill Experience Book] 501: Improves singing skills.
He had gotten this experience book before, and it was exactly the same. Zhang Ye's singing skills had improved by leaps and bounds because of this skill book. It was also what Zhang Ye needed the most right now.
Zhang Ye did not hesitate and immediately started studying.
Previously, he had gotten 500 books. This time, he had gotten 501 books. It wasn't until he "ate" the last book that the game ring's system beeped!
He had maxed out!
There was no way he could learn anymore!
It was about the same as the previous Fruit of Strength and Fruit of Stamina, which maxed out at 1,000 points. Since he couldn't practice the last skill book, it would be a waste.
After deactivating the Lucky Halo, Zhang Ye immediately tried it out. He sang the duet song that he had been disgusted by earlier, and sure enough, the effect was very different. Zhang Ye's eyes lit up. Although his singing skills did not improve that much, because the higher he went, the less significant the effects of the skill books would be. But at least he had gotten 500 books and maxed out in the first category, so it was still a small improvement. Furthermore, Zhang Ye's singing skills did not only improve in one direction. It was not only in the voice modulation, technique, breathing, etc., but it was also an overall improvement! Everything that was related to his singing skills had been improved!
He stayed up for another night.
Auditioning.
Arranging the songs.
Overturning and starting over.
Continuing to practice his songs.
His parents could not bear to watch it any longer.
"Little Ye, why don't you take a break? What are you doing every day?" His mother said, "Are you risking your life?"
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "I'm helping someone write a song. Don't worry about me. You two go to sleep."
His father pointed to the sky outside. "Your mom and I are already awake. Look at the time, it's already morning."
Zhang Ye said perfunctorily, "Alright, I'll go to sleep now."
His mother urged, "Hurry up!"
"Got it." Zhang Ye buried his head in his work.
This fellow had always been like this. He always wanted to do things to the best of his ability, or at least to the best of his abilities. Otherwise, he would just keep doing it and repeating it. Perhaps he was a perfectionist deep down. Besides, the finals were very important to him.
It wasn't until the day before the finals that Zhang Ye finally finished his work. He met with Old Zhang over the phone and communicated with Bai Yuanfei and the other band members.
Bai Yuanfei was very surprised. "You arranged the music yourself?"
Zhang Ye said, "Can I?"
Bai Yuanfei said, "Even the most professional arrangers in the industry can only do so much, right? But didn't you consider the effects of the choreography and the costumes? I think you should add some visual effects for the duet between you and Wild Rose, right? I can reveal to you that the other singers have added a lot of visual effects and smokescreens. It's very stunning and visually impactful. I don't know much about this, but we have professionals here who can help you with the design. Do you want to … "
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "I'll pass. I'll just sing normally."
Bai Yuanfei said, "Then you'll be at a disadvantage."
Zhang Ye said, "It's fine, I don't like fancy things."
Bai Yuanfei said, "Alright, I understand."
Zhang Ye said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Ye was ready for the finals!
