The venue was in an uproar!
"That's Zhang Ye!"
"That's who he is!"
"Zhang Ye! I love you! "
"The Clown, you're the best!"
"You still have me!"
"Yes, you still have us!"
"We'll walk this path with you!"
"Count me in!"
"Me too! Count us in! "
"Why would I be afraid that it'll be just you and me one day!"
I'm still free!
Forever singing my song!
These few lines of the lyrics made everyone's blood surge!
This was a song by Beyond. This was the most classic and greatest song from Zhang Ye's previous world.
It was called "Boundless Sea and Sky."
...
Outside the stadium.
In a neighborhood nearby.
"Listen, what's that sound?"
"It's going to rain. Let's hurry home."
"Uh, what's that shouting over there?"
"Where's the stadium? Is there going to be a competition today? "
"Why is it so lively? Isn't that sound a little too loud? Who's shouting? "
"Did you guys forget? That's the King of Masked Singers concert recording venue!"
"Damn, what's going on?"
"I don't know. Why are they all screaming?"
"Does it have to be so explosive?"
...
The sky was getting darker and darker.
Dark clouds were piling up and a light drizzle was starting to fall.
Yesterday, no one had reported that it would rain today, so the production team did not make sufficient preparations. They hurriedly got the staff to set up a few temporary umbrellas over the equipment.
This was not a professional concert venue. As time was too tight, they did not manage to rent it and could only rent a stadium. Other than a small portion of the stadium that was sheltered from the sun and rain, the rest of the stadium and the stage where the band was performing were all open-air. A lot of the equipment was waterproof, so they could only resort to emergency measures. However, that was on the premise that the rain was not too heavy.
But today, they encountered trouble.
The wind was picking up!
The rain was getting heavier and heavier!
The audience hurriedly took out their umbrellas and put on their raincoats.
"It's raining heavily!"
"Hurry up and take shelter!"
"What kind of weather is this!"
Some people put on their raincoats and insisted on sitting there.
Many of the audience members who were sitting in the front row hurriedly retreated to the back row. There was a large area where they could temporarily take shelter from the rain.
His parents did not bring their umbrellas either.
His mother grumbled, "How can you get off just like that!"
Dad said, "This weather forecast is getting more and more inaccurate!"
Wu Zeqing, who was beside them, took out an umbrella from her bag. "Auntie, Uncle, this umbrella is for you. Both of you can use one." She opened it and handed it to them.
His father hurriedly said, "No, no!"
Mom didn't agree to it either. "You hit him, hit him yourself!"
Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "I don't need it. If I can't, I'll go to the back."
"That won't do!" Mom didn't expect Chief Wu to be so polite.
Luckily, Xiao Lu ran over in the rain, "Auntie, I have a raincoat here. I'll give you one first. I'll go look for more. If there are more, I'll get it for you!" She couldn't care less about the others, but she had to take good care of Teacher Zhang's parents.
His mother said, "Aiyo, thank you, Xiao Lu."
Wu Zeqing smiled, "That's perfect. Let Uncle wear a raincoat. Auntie, let's share an umbrella." She leaned closer to Zhang Ye's mother and held up the umbrella.
Mom wanted to take it. "I'll hold it."
Wu Zeqing said, "There's no need, you don't have to stand on ceremony with me."
Behind the stage.
The recording had been paused.
The singers and program team staff were also looking for a place to take shelter from the rain.
Hu Fei asked loudly, "How is it? Can you still record? "
Hou Ge ran over and said, "We can. The cameras are waterproof, but the instruments aren't. The singers aren't waterproof either. With the wind and rain, we can't sing!"
Fan Wenli looked up at the sky.
Zhao Qiquan shook his head. "I'm afraid the rain won't stop anytime soon."
Over there, Zhang Xia, Amy, Li Xiaoxian, and the others were hiding in a temporary shelter.
Zhang Ye came up. "How many songs are left?"
Hu Fei held up the umbrella and said, "There are still three or four songs left. The concert is more than halfway through. There's still a choir that we've invited and a closing chorus from you guys."
Xiao Lu came back. "Brother Hu, the rain is getting heavier."
Hu Fei clenched his teeth and said, "Let's wait a little longer!"
Another five minutes passed.
The weather was still not good.
King of Oddity shook his head and said, "We can't sing anymore. There's no way to sing in this weather."
Zhao Qiquan (Flowing Time) also said, "I think we should stop recording. We can't even use the instruments. Besides, how are we going to sing in such heavy rain? Let's hurry up and go home. "
Amy sighed. "We really can't record anymore."
Zhang Ye looked in the direction of the audience and saw that no one had left yet.
Hu Fei said, "Then …"
Zhang Ye interrupted, "Let's wait a little longer."
Hu Fei glanced at Zhang Ye and nodded. "Alright, let's wait another five minutes."
Zhao Qiquan frowned. What was there to wait for? The rain definitely couldn't stop!
King of Oddity also shook his head slightly. In this godforsaken weather, no one would be able to sing even if they went up there. There were still some places where they could take shelter from the rain in the stands, but there wasn't even a place on the stage!
However, none of the staff had any objections. In their eyes, Zhang Ye's words were the same as Hu Fei's. There were even many times when Hu Fei would seek Zhang Ye's opinion when he could not make up his mind.
Soon after.
The rain had lessened a little, but it still did not stop.
Chen Guang also said, "We really can't sing anymore."
Xiao Lu hurriedly said, "Brother Hu, Director Zhang."
Dong Shanshan was holding an umbrella and talking to the audience onstage. "Everyone, please wait a moment. I'll have to ask the production team about what to do next."
At this moment, Xiao Lu quickly walked onto the stage and whispered something into Dong Shanshan's ear.
Dong Shanshan nodded. "Alright, I understand." Then she said to the audience in the stands, "I'm really sorry, but we did not expect the sudden downpour this time. We were not prepared for it in any way, so I would like to apologize to everyone. We can no longer record the show, so the concert will end here. Please leave safely and do not crowd around."
When they heard this, a lot of the audience started shouting!
"Why?"
"The rain isn't that heavy. It's only a moderate rain!"
"We still want to hear more!"
"We've only sung a few songs!"
"Can we sing a few more?"
"We're fine!"
"Right, we're not leaving!"
"It was so good, let's sing another song!"
A few dozen audience members had already started to leave the stage.
However, the vast majority of them did not move at all. They were all staring at the stage without blinking. Some of them were even wearing raincoats or holding umbrellas as they sat in the rain!
Dong Shanshan tried to persuade them, "Please leave the stage one by one. I'm really sorry about today, but the show has to end here. The instruments can't even get wet, so there's no way for us to perform. As you can see, the stage is completely open to the public. This is not something we wanted to see happen."
"Sing a few more songs!"
"We haven't heard enough yet!"
"I came all the way from Shanghai just to come here!"
"Even if it's just one song, can we not disperse?"
"We don't need any accompaniment, even if it's a cappella!"
Suddenly, someone took the lead and shouted.
"Petal Shower!"
"Petal Shower!"
"The Clown!"
"The Clown!"
"Flowing Time!"
"Flowing Time!"
One by one, the singers' names were called out by them!
The audience was eagerly waiting for them to take the stage. This concert had really shocked them, so not many of them were willing to leave just like that!
Dong Shanshan was at her wit's end. "We really …"
At this moment, Zhang Ye suddenly walked onto the stage. "Pass me the microphone."
Dong Shanshan glanced at him and passed the microphone to him. Seeing that he did not have an umbrella with him, Dong Shanshan wanted to pass it to him.
However, Zhang Ye waved it off. This was because he saw that there were a lot of people in the audience who were drenched in the rain without umbrellas. In that case, he did not want to use it either.
The rain had already drenched Zhang Ye's clothes.
Dong Shanshan had no choice but to hand the stage over to him and go back by herself.
Zhang Ye stood in the rain and looked at everyone, saying, "We can't record the show anymore. The cameras have probably been turned off. The weather is unpredictable, and we've made mistakes as well. Everyone, please give me some face and quickly go back. It's too cold outside, and the rain is too heavy. Although this concert has its regrets, but …"
A middle-aged man shouted, "We really want to continue listening!"
A girl shouted, "We're not afraid of the rain! Really! "
A mother said, "My child really likes your show. Can she sing a few more songs?"
Zhang Ye said loudly, "But the weather now …"
All of a sudden, a little girl around eight or nine years old walked onto the stage from somewhere. She might have come from the stairs at the side. As the rain was getting heavier, the staff had forgotten to maintain order.
The little girl was holding up a small flower umbrella for children and walked over to Zhang Ye.
Zhang Ye was taken aback and did not understand what she was trying to do. He was just about to say that this was a work area and that all unrelated people should leave. But the next moment, a small flower umbrella was extended towards him.
The little girl was very short. She was desperately tiptoeing and trying to raise the umbrella over Zhang Ye's head.
Zhang Ye was startled and immediately squatted down.
When a few staff members saw this, they hurriedly ran over to chase her away.
However, Zhang Ye raised his hand to stop them.
The little girl finally covered Zhang Ye with the umbrella. "Big Brother, I'm begging you. Can you sing a few more songs? I can hold the umbrella for you. I won't let you get wet."
The umbrella was very small and could only cover one person.
In the blink of an eye, the little girl's clothes were already wet.
Zhang Ye asked, "Then what if you get wet?"
The little girl said firmly, "I'm not afraid!"
But Zhang Ye held the little girl's hand and moved the umbrella over her head. "Do you … really want to listen to it?"
The little girl nodded vigorously. "My dad, my mom, and my brother, we all like you! And Sister Petal Shower, and Sister Spinach too! "
Then Zhang Ye smiled. He looked at the audience and looked at all of them who were stubbornly waiting in the audience. He suddenly asked, "Do you guys really want to listen to it?"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
In an instant, the shouts were like thunder!
It even drowned out the sound of thunder!
Zhang Ye laughed again. "Aren't you afraid of getting wet?"
"No!"
"No!"
"What's there to be afraid of!"
Everyone shouted in unison!
Zhang Ye laughed for the third time. He carried the little girl off the stage and handed her back to her mother. Then he walked straight to the backstage and looked around.
Xiao Lu was taken aback. "Director Zhang, what are you doing?"
Han Qi also said, "What are you doing?"
The Miracle Wheels band's teachers also said, "It's raining so heavily, you …"
Hou Ge also said anxiously, "The cameras have already stopped. We're not recording today! You don't have to … "
Not recording?
Not getting broadcast?
What did this have to do with him?
The audience was still here!
The audience hadn't left yet!
If they're not afraid, why should I be afraid?
If they're not leaving, why should I?
