King of Oddity got off the stage and returned to his seat in the front row.
"Congratulations."
"There won't be any problems getting into the top three."
"There's still a chance of getting first."
"Haha, he's almost in first place."
Beside him, Jiang Hanwei and the others congratulated him.
King of Oddity also looked at his current tally and realized that he would soon surpass Flowing Time, who was currently in first place. He was very excited. As a singer who was not that famous and a semi-rookie in the music industry, King of Oddity was already quite satisfied with his results on the final night of the King of Masked Singers. Sunset Glow had finished singing, so it was impossible for her to catch up to him in the tally. Although The Clown had not sung yet, the disparity in the tally was too great, so he was eliminated. It could be said that King of Oddity had already clinched the top three!
He might even get second place?
The tallies on the screen were split into three categories.
The first and second place votes were about the same.
The second and third place votes were about the same.
In the last echelon, only The Clown was left at the very end.
"It's Petal Shower's turn!"
"Let's see how Old Fan sings."
"Old Fan's performance is too important."
"Who will be crowned Masked King?"
"Flowing Time still has the best chance. His tally is too far ahead!"
Gradually, very few people in the live audience were talking about The Clown anymore. Some of the people who liked him were cursing and complaining on behalf of The Clown. However, this was a competition and the votes were already there, so they could only continue watching the competition. Their attention shifted to the battle between Petal Shower, King of Oddity, and Flowing Time.
Fan Wenli went onstage.
Chen Guang smiled at her from below the stage.
A lot of people were also looking at her expectantly.
Sure enough, Fan Wenli did not disappoint.
"There's a blinding light above my head."
"Beside my ears are the sounds of the crowd.
"I stand in the center of the stage and can only stand there, singing with a smile as gentle as water.
"True blue.
"Clear water.
"How white the clouds are.
"How kind people are.
"How pure their feelings are.
"How beautiful the world is."
Suddenly, Fan Wenli raised her voice!
"But I don't want to sing!
"I don't want to sing today!
"I just want to be swallowed up by the loneliness!
"I don't want to sing!
"I just don't want to sing!
"Those rotten lyrics are so lousy!"
The previous duet had restricted Fan Wenli's performance, but this time, the solo was no longer restricted. She let go and put all her emotions and feelings into the song. This song was called I Don't Want to Sing, a semi-rock song that Chen Guang wrote in his early years. It was a song that Chen Guang wrote when he was at his lowest and most confused. This song meant a lot to Chen Guang and Fan Wenli.
Zhang Xia stood up and applauded!
Xiaodong, Li Xiaoxian, and Amy also stood up and clapped!
Petal Shower's votes suddenly shot up!
3.2 million!
3.5 million!
3.6 million!
He had surpassed King of Oddity and Flowing Time to take first place!
The rankings changed in the blink of an eye!
Petal Shower was in first place!
Time was second!
King of Oddity was third!
"Petal Shower!"
"Petal Shower!"
"Sounds good!"
"Petal Shower, all the best!"
The audience was shouting her name!
Li Xiaoxian (Sunset Glow) was very pleased. "Sister Fan will definitely win!" She and The Clown no longer stood a chance, but she at least hoped that Fan Wenli would win. It was not because they were both women, nor was it because they had a good personal relationship, but because Li Xiaoxian felt that Fan Wenli sang much better than Flowing Time and King of Oddity!
Yao Jiancai said happily, "Congratulations."
Chen Guang smiled and said, "Old Zhao hasn't sung yet."
As Flowing Time's partner and old friend, Jiang Hanwei smiled. "Old Zhao has used his trump card for his final song. Have a look."
Zhang Xia asked curiously, "Oh?"
Dong Shanshan announced, "Let's welcome the next singer — Flowing Time!"
Flowing Time went onstage.
The music played softly.
However, what he heard was not a song, but Shi Guang's voice instead. "Today is the 100th day of my marriage with my lover. I want to thank her for accompanying me and encouraging me during the most difficult times of my life. For this day, I've written a song for her. I want to give it to her."
Hu Fei's face sank!
The production team staff also looked at one another!
There was no such part during rehearsals. Didn't they say that there would be a voice-over? Why did he come up with an opening speech to set up the mood instead of singing? Usually, voice-overs were allowed in a song and were not prohibited. However, the production team felt that there was something wrong with Flowing Time's voice-over. He was trying to play the emotional card again and was trying to get votes again. If Flowing Time had said that there would be such a voice-over during rehearsals, Hu Fei, the executive director, would definitely not have allowed him to add it. But who could have expected that Flowing Time would not say anything and just act first and report later!
Flowing Time sang.
"Dear, wife.
"Please hug me tight.
"Without you, I can't live.
"Without you, I can't live."
Wang Zhuishu, who was below the stage, was a professional songwriter who had written too many songs. The moment he heard this song and the lyrics, he knew that Shi Guang wasn't too good at writing songs. This song was really just average. It was just that the melody was passable.
Zhang Xia glanced at Jiang Hanwei.
Xiaodong had the best relationship with Jiang Hanwei, but he could only give a bitter laugh.
Is this the trump card you were talking about?
This song …
Hai, let's not talk about it anymore.
Jiang Hanwei was a layman and not a professional musician, so the professional singers and people in the music industry sitting around him did not say anything.
But they did not expect that the audience would buy it!
Because of that opening speech and because Flowing Time was a song that was meant for his wife!
"What a good man!"
"My impression of Flowing Time has changed!"
"It hasn't been easy for him either."
"Yeah, all that negative news about him in the past … Hai, forget it. Just based on this song of his today, I have to give him a vote. Otherwise, it won't be justifiable."
"Flowing Time is very sentimental!"
"During the divorce, Old Zhao's wife even posted on Weibo that he had hit her. I guess that was just a rumor. Old Zhao has such a good personality and is quite gentle."
"This song is quite touching."
"Who is his wife?"
"I really want to know! Hurry up and vote for him. Didn't Teacher Jiang Hanwei say so? As long as Flowing Time becomes the grand champion, he will be exposed! "
"Right, right, right!"
The tallies kept changing!
Zhang Xia was dumbfounded!
Chen Guang and the others were also dumbfounded!
Before the song was finished, Flowing Time's tallies had already caught up to Petal Shower's!
When the song was finished, he overtook Petal Shower's tallies by a staggering 4 million. This left the professional singers and guests sitting in the audience dumbfounded. Yao Jiancai was starting to admire Zhao Qiquan a little. Yao Jiancai was starting to admire Zhao Qiquan a little. Although he wasn't the best at singing, he was really good at making gestures and pulling for votes. He had laid the groundwork one after another. From the beginning of the first song, he had already captured the audience's emotions and planned everything from the beginning to the end. This emotional card was clearly more resonant with the audience than King of Oddity's charity card. The most important thing was that no one knew who his wife was yet, so this sense of anticipation was also part of it!
After the song was finished.
Flowing Time calmed down.
Jiang Hanwei stood up and gave him a hug. "Haha, well sung!"
Flowing Time said, "Thank you." Then he walked over to Fan Wenli.
Fan Wenli smiled and hugged him back.
Li Xiaoxian also stood up. "Congratulations."
"Thank you." Flowing Time then walked over to Wild Rose.
This sort of hug was very common on stage. It was a form of congratulations and encouragement.
Flowing Time bowed slightly and opened his arms wide.
However, what stunned everyone was that Wild Rose did not even stand up. She just raised her hand and said, "I'll pass. I sang quite well, so hurry up and take a seat."
Flowing Time was also stunned.
Holy shit! Isn't this not giving me any face?
The live broadcast's camera was switching over to where Flowing Time was hugging the other contestants and guests. Who could have expected that they would capture such a scene? The cameraman broke out in a sweat and hurriedly moved the camera away. But everyone had already seen what they wanted to see. Be it the live audience or the television audience, they were all stunned.
"Pfft!"
"Who is that woman?"
"What a face smack!"
"She didn't even give face to the Masked King?"
"Who's the Masked King? It's not over yet. "
"It's already over, alright?"
"Yeah, the Masked King has already been decided. It's definitely going to be Zhao Qiquan!"
"It doesn't matter whether The Clown goes on stage or not anymore."
"Hahaha, this Wild Rose is quite interesting. I'm really curious who she is. Looks like the netizens were right. She and The Clown are pure rookies who don't know the rules at all!"
"Wild Rose has offended Flowing Time!"
Some of Flowing Time's fans were scolding her.
"Fuck."
"Who the hell is that woman!"
"I gave her face, but she didn't want it!"
"You're just a rookie, so what are you being so arrogant for!"
Flowing Time also looked a little unhappy. He was furious on the inside, but on the surface, he was smiling as though he did not mind. After exchanging a few more words with Jiang Hanwei, he sat down.
Xiaodong and Amy looked at Wild Rose in surprise.
Zhang Xia and Fan Wenli also stared at her.
Dong Shanshan announced, "Next, let's welcome our final contestant — The Clown!"
Applause rang out.
Actually, most of it was encouraging applause. The difference in the votes was too great. The only person who could catch up to Flowing Time was Petal Shower, but the chances of that were not too great either. She was already behind by 300,000 votes, while The Clown, who was in last place, still had slightly more than a million votes. He was three million votes behind Flowing Time!
How could they catch up?
They couldn't catch up to him even if they were beaten to death!
As such, Flowing Time had more or less taken the championship title. This final song seemed to have lost its meaning, so it didn't matter whether he sang it or not!
Some of the audience members lamented.
"The Clown's ranking should be very high."
"Yeah, there's absolutely no problem with his strength."
"Hai, who asked him to show off by not taking off his mask?"
"It's not that he doesn't want to take it off, but it's definitely because he and that invited Wild Rose are too unpopular. Even if they took off their masks, no one would recognize them. So if they took off their masks, it would have the opposite effect, so they might as well keep it a mystery."
"That's true! That's why Flowing Time can win. He's quite famous to begin with, and he even managed to invite an A-list celebrity like Jiang Hanwei! "
"The entertainment industry still depends on popularity."
"The Clown's loss isn't undeserved."
"He's a newcomer, so he'll just have to slowly climb his way up."
The Clown had already walked onto the stage.
But at this moment, an accident happened!
Wild Rose's hair seemed to be a little disheveled. She used the back of her hand to comb her hair. Whether it was intentional or an accident, the mask on her face loosened and fell to the ground with a thud!
The mask fell off!
A peerlessly beautiful face was exposed in front of everyone's eyes!
When Jiang Hanwei heard the commotion, he subconsciously turned his head. Just as he was about to lower his head and help Wild Rose pick up the mask from the ground like a gentleman, he was suddenly dumbfounded when he saw that face!
Zhang Xia was dumbfounded!
Li Xiaoxian was dumbfounded!
Flowing Time was dumbfounded!
Hu Fei was dumbfounded!
The program team was dumbfounded!
The entire audience was so shocked that their jaws nearly dropped!
