The live broadcast signal was connected!
Dong Shanshan's figure appeared on the television screen!
Amidst the cheers and shouts, Dong Shanshan descended from the sky. She really did come down from the "sky" on a lift. There was a cloud of smoke on the stage as the lights flashed. "Welcome to King of Masked Singers, which is exclusively sponsored by Bright Fruit Cocoa. This is the live broadcast of the grand finals, and I am your cutest, most beautiful, most charming, and slightly artistic host — Dong Shanshan!"
A series of introductory remarks.
The audience burst into thunderous applause!
Countless people waved LED light boards and screamed!
Dong Shanshan's popularity was no longer the same as before. On the LED boards in the hands of the audience, other than the singers, there were also LED boards with Dong Shanshan's name written on them. Some people had come to the venue specifically to support Dong Shanshan. They were all diehard fans!
The lift descended.
As she walked, she said, "Today is the night of the grand finals. Here, there will be an intense showdown between the best of the best, and the grand champion of King of Masked Singers will be born here. The rules of the competition are very simple. The winner of the competition will be decided by you sitting in front of the television. When the competition officially begins, the contestants' serial numbers and voting methods will appear at the bottom of the screen. Cast your vote and choose the grand champion of your dreams and crown the king of your dreams!"
The venue changed.
The layout had also changed.
Zhang Xia sat in the first row.
Chen Guang, Amy, Wang Zhuishu, Chen Yidong, and the other guests were also seated offstage. Since it was a live broadcast today, they did not have to comment and were only here to watch the competition.
The rules of the finals had been revealed a long time ago. Today's competition was not a live audience vote, but a public vote. From the first song of the first round, the voting channel would open. In the first round, the singers who ranked last would be directly eliminated from the next round. Only when the last singer of the second round finished singing would the voting channel close, and the singer with the highest number of votes would be crowned. Therefore, whether it was in the first or second round, the results were very important, and the votes were cumulative. Moreover, the production team had also set up a segment. In the two rounds of the finals, the contestants could choose to take off their masks at any time during the performance. In other words, the contestants could take off their masks at any time today. There was no need to wait until the end!
A comment section for King of Masked Singers was opened on Weibo.
"It's almost time!"
"Who's the first?"
"According to the ranking of the most Masked Kings, The Clown will definitely appear last."
"Then the first one should be Spinach, right? She came out of the revival match, and she was resurrected in third place. "
"Guess who was eliminated in the first round?"
"Other than Petal Shower and The Clown, I think everyone else is in danger!"
"Haha, place your bet, place your bet!"
"Open! I bet on Shi Guang getting eliminated!"
"I'll bet on spinach."
At the venue.
The competition had not yet begun, but the atmosphere was already fiery!
His parents, uncles, aunts, and the others in the audience were also infected by this atmosphere!
Dong Shanshan announced loudly, "Now, the voting window is open. Let us welcome today's first singer — Spinach! And her partner — Celery! "
Dong Shanshan immediately left the stage.
The lighting on the stage suddenly changed into a different style.
The quality of the audience was very high, and they immediately quietened down.
At this moment, a cappella suddenly rang out!
Spinach took the stage!
"You said snow is white."
"I said, the sky is black."
The next moment, another woman's voice rang out.
"I said, dreams are green."
"You said, the heart is gray."
This was a chorus song that had become very popular in the past two years. It was also one of the top ten must-play songs in karaoke. But when these two singers sang it, it completely subverted the original. They actually added some elements of opera into the song, giving it a strong Beijing opera flavor and making it sound especially good.
The backup dancers came out. They were all actors dressed in Beijing opera costumes!
This was a classic combination of tradition and modernity!
Old Zhang had already gone to get changed. Zhang Ye was the only one in the waiting room watching TV. He nodded slightly. He really liked the song that Spinach was singing today.
All of a sudden, almost without warning.
When Spinach's partner sang a high note, she took off her mask!
When the audience reacted, they were stunned!
Chen Guang pointed to the stage. "Han Ke?"
Zhang Xia also smiled. "It's the child of an old friend!"
— Han Ke, a C-list celebrity and the biological granddaughter of a famous older generation singer, Han Aiguo. She was of the same generation as Zhang Xia and was a good friend who had debuted at the same time. At the same time, Han Aiguo and Liao Yiqi's (Spinach's) grandfather had been friends for many years. Han Ke and Liao Yiqi were best friends who had grown up together. So when Han Ke appeared onstage, many people were very surprised, but not at all surprised!
Spinach smiled and took off her mask as she sang. Actually, she had already taken off her mask earlier, so everyone knew who she was. But when she revealed her face, the audience still cheered and applauded!
The television viewers were also very excited!
"It's Han Ke!"
"Han Ke is really here?"
"As expected of a childhood friend. She's really supportive!"
"I like Han Ke!"
"She was a child star. I especially loved watching the television dramas she acted in when she was young! She's still as beautiful when she grows up! I think it's only because Liao Yiqi has a lot of influence. If it were anyone else, she probably wouldn't have come to help sing! After all, she hasn't sung in a year or two! "
"Let's vote!"
"Right, let's quickly vote!"
"Vote for Spinach!"
"Even if it's for Han Ke's sake, we still have to vote!"
"Haha, I'm doing it for Old Han's sake!"
On the TV screen, the tallies were being tabulated and displayed in real time.
In an instant, Spinach's votes jumped to first place — 870,000 votes. She was about to break the million mark! As for the other contestants, they had not performed yet. Although there were still some votes, it was not a lot.
The live audience was shouting.
"Liao Yiqi!"
"Liao Yiqi!"
"Han Ke!"
"Han Ke!"
The combination of Spinach and Celery was really not to be underestimated.
When the song ended, Spinach's votes had already reached 990,000. She was temporarily in first place, and it was quite an eye-catching result!
Dong Shanshan came onstage. "Hello, Little Liao. Hello, Little Han."
Han Ke picked up the microphone and took off her mask. She switched off the voice changer function and used her original voice. "Hello, Sister Shanshan."
Dong Shanshan smiled and said, "Long time no see."
Han Ke giggled and said, "Yeah, Sister Shanshan has gotten even prettier."
The two of them clearly knew each other. Back when they had an endorsement deal, they had filmed a commercial together. Actually, the industry was just that small at times.
Dong Shanshan said in amusement, "Are you here to support your best friend today?"
Han Ke nodded and looked at the audience. "When Little Fan called me, I was still filming out of town. When I heard about it, I rushed back without hesitation. Needless to say, even if the sky were to fall, I would still come."
After each group finished their performance, they were allowed to say a few words, chat, or canvass for votes. There were no more restrictions like before. However, Spinach and Celery did not say anything else. Perhaps they were too embarrassed to canvass for votes. After chatting for a while, the two of them bowed to the audience and left the stage.
