In the audience.
His father sighed. "What a nice song."
His mother said, "This woman's singing is too good!"
His eldest younger sister was also surprised. "Yeah, who is she?"
His third sister said anxiously, "I don't know. Why didn't she take off her mask!"
"The Clown was stopped by her!" His second sister slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "This song is amazing! There's nothing fake about it, nor is there any performance involved. It's just singing, and it's fucking amazing! "
A chorus and a solo were two completely different concepts.
The difficulty of a duo chorus lay in their coordination and in "controlling the atmosphere." Actually, most of the chorus songs were not suitable for competitions, so some of the singers from before chose to use instruments to control the atmosphere. They would start off with an impassioned electronic score to stir up the atmosphere. Others chose to use performances to control the atmosphere by dressing up in gorgeous costumes like they were performing on stage. They would then be accompanied by a bunch of backup dancers to give the audience a visual impact! But for The Clown and Wild Rose's song, there was nothing else but using their voices to control the atmosphere. They were both using their singing to stir up the emotions of the audience! This was clearly even more difficult. Even the married couple, Chen Guang and Fan Wenli, did not manage to coordinate to this extent!
The music had ended.
The audience was in a daze for a while before suddenly giving a round of applause!
Listening to the applause and looking at the people standing around him, Zhang Ye actually had a great time singing. He was very satisfied with his performance today. It could be said that he had performed it perfectly. What he wanted to say, what he wanted to express, he had sung it in his own way. Meanwhile, Wild Rose coordinated even better with him. The two of them seemed to have a natural rapport with each other. Although their personalities and ways of doing things were completely different, for some reason, they could always resonate with each other on a spiritual and artistic level. Otherwise, even though they came from two completely different worlds, they wouldn't have become good friends.
Their voices?
Their rhythm?
Their coordination?
Their coordination was flawless!
This was a very famous old song from Zhang Ye's previous world, "The Love of a Lifetime." It was the theme song for Journey to the West. Zhang Ye had heard it since he was young, but he didn't really feel much about it. It was only when it was paired with the movie that it sounded quite good, but he had never thought of singing it. It wasn't until this year's grand finals, when he invited Wild Rose to be his partner that Zhang Ye suddenly thought of this song. It was as if he had been poisoned by it and had a strong urge to sing it. For this reason, Zhang Ye had been practicing the Cantonese lyrics of this song for the past few days. He didn't know how many nights he had stayed up all for this song today! Now that he thought about it, all his efforts were worth it. He did not bring shame to the song, no matter how it turned out.
Dong Shanshan smiled as she went onstage. "Hello, Teachers."
The Clown and Wild Rose both laughed.
The live broadcast camera was facing them, and the eyes of the entire country's audience were on them.
Dong Shanshan glanced at the two of them and said, "I don't really know how to greet you now because the two of you haven't taken off your masks. I don't know who you are either."
Wild Rose smiled and raised the microphone. "I was going to take off my mask."
Since she didn't take off her mask, her microphone was already turned on.
Dong Shanshan was curious. "Then why isn't there any?"
Wild Rose smiled and said, "You'll have to ask him."
Dong Shanshan looked at The Clown. "Oh?"
But The Clown did not answer.
Actually, Zhang Ye and Wild Rose had communicated before. Wild Rose's intention was not to take off her mask during the performance as she did not want to destroy the artistic integrity of the song. Zhang Ye also felt the same way, so the two of them did not intend to take off their masks right from the start. Zhang Ye did not know why Wild Rose suddenly changed her mind at the end. Perhaps she was afraid that he would be at a disadvantage in terms of the votes, but Zhang Ye still stopped her. Coming onto this stage, Zhang Ye just wanted to sing. He wanted to sing in a down-to-earth manner. He knew very well that if Wild Rose took off her mask, the competition would end prematurely and Zhang Ye would have the upper hand. But he did not want that to happen.
He wanted to win!
He wanted to win fair and square!
Compete to see who had more fame?
Compete to see who had more acting skills?
Compete to see who was worse off?
Compete to see who had more donations?
What was the point of all of that!
Zhang Ye did not want the show he brought here to change its flavor!
As such, The Clown smiled as he picked up the microphone and put it to his lips. He glanced to the side and said, "Teacher Wild Rose, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to help me today. A special thank you." The voice of the voice-changing microphone made his voice sound very strange.
Wild Rose smiled and said, "We're old friends, so it's only natural."
The Clown looked into the audience. "And then, I'd like to thank my parents and family. They're also here today, but I don't know if they'll like my song."
Dong Shanshan said in surprise, "Oh? Aunts and uncles are here too? "
Hu Fei, who was directing in the audience, was taken aback.
Dafei and Xiao Lu were also taken aback.
What?
The Clown's family is here?
That's impossible! The Clown did not ask for live tickets from them!
The tickets were all in their hands, so of course they couldn't have remembered wrongly. Many of the singers' relatives were also here today, like Spinach's aunt and uncle, King of Oddity's mother, and Li Xiaoxian's elder sister and younger brother. The program team had given them the best tickets and arranged for them to sit in the front rows. But there was definitely no sign of The Clown's family!
Hu Fei asked Dafei, "Did you give them to them?"
Dafei said, "It wasn't me."
Hu Fei said, "Little Han, did you give them to them?"
Han Qi said, "I don't know either. It wasn't me!"
Quite a few people in the audience were also looking around!
"The Clown's parents?"
"Who are they?"
"Which one is it?"
"Once we see his parents, we should know who he is!"
"Where are they?"
Zhang Ye's parents were also looking for them.
His mother turned around and then tilted her head. "I don't think they're here?"
His eldest younger sister was also looking for a long time. "No one is standing up."
His father wondered, "Could his parents be sitting in the front row?"
His mother raised her head and took a few glances. "They're not in the front row either."
At this moment, Dong Shanshan asked, "Teacher Clown, Teacher Wild Rose, I believe that a lot of people are curious about your identities right now, including me. In another five minutes, the voting will be temporarily closed. Are the two of you really not going to take off your masks and let everyone see who you really are?"
The Clown said, "There's no need."
Dong Shanshan blinked. "Then do you want to canvass for votes?"
The Clown said calmly, "There's no need."
Dong Shanshan did not know what to say anymore. "Then, alright then. We'll respect the wishes of the two of you. Could the two of you please step off the stage and take a break? We'll cut in with a commercial and be right back."
The television screen switched and the signal switched to a commercial.
The stage lights were too hot and Dong Shanshan felt a little sweaty. She immediately went down to touch up her makeup. Three makeup artists rushed over to help, while the other staff members hurried over to clean up the venue.
When they got off the stage, Wild Rose walked in front of them. Without looking back, she asked, "Are you really not going to take off your masks?"
The Clown grunted in acknowledgment.
Wild Rose asked, "You're not going to canvass for votes?"
The Clown said, "Yes."
Wild Rose said, "You should know that this song is not suitable for a competition."
The Clown said, "I know."
Wild Rose asked, "What happens if we lose?"
The Clown said, "I admit it."
Wild Rose suddenly smiled and turned around to look at him. After looking at him for a few seconds, she said, "I finally believe that you're really an old friend of mine. I don't have many old friends with a temper like yours. I think I can guess who you are, but I'm not too sure yet. That's because the person I know doesn't seem to know how to sing."
The Clown threw up his hands and did not reply.
The staff members led them to the front row.
Fan Wenli, Chen Guang, Li Xiaoxian, Xiaodong, Jiang Hanwei, Zhang Xia, and the others were all seated there. This was an area reserved for the contestants and guest teachers. When the two of them came over, all of the contestants and guests turned to stare at them. They looked at the seats beside them.
Amy blurted out, "Big Sis, who are you?"
Wild Rose looked at her and chuckled. "Why don't you guess?"
Flowing Time (Zhao Qiquan) said, "You should have taken off your mask."
King of Oddity also said, "Yeah."
Wild Rose nodded in acknowledgment.
Jiang Hanwei asked suspiciously, "Do we know each other?"
Wild Rose deliberately said in a hoarse voice, "No, I'm a newcomer."
You're a newcomer?
How is that possible!
The surrounding contestants nearly fainted!
Especially Flowing Time and the other veteran singers. They were all speechless. Fuck, if you're a newcomer, wouldn't we all be doomed?
