On this day.
Noon.
On the day of the eighth episode's recording.
At Old Wu's parents' house. After lunch, Zhang Ye was playing Go with Wu Changhe in the courtyard house.
"Uncle, hurry up."
"I was just thinking about it. What are you rushing me for!"
"I still have to record a show in the afternoon. I can only squeeze out this little time."
"Alright, alright, this is it."
"I'll make a move."
"Eh, no, don't go there!"
"Why should I?"
"You can't go there. You have to make a move."
"Why should I make a move! That's a checkmate! "
"Are you going to make a move or not?"
"I'm not going to make a move!"
"Then I won't make that move!"
"Damn, you're cheating!"
"Who's cheating? Ah? Who's cheating? "
"Just put it there! You won't go back on your move! "
"Then I'll regret it!"
The two of them had only just started the game, but they nearly got into a fight!
Li Qinqin, who was watching from the sidelines, didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The bad tempers of this pair of father and son were really great together.
In the end, it was still Wu Changhe who lost. He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him. "I wasn't in my best form today. Next time, I'll slaughter all of your dragons! Just you wait! "
Zhang Ye bade farewell and walked out. He said in disbelief, "I'll slaughter two of your dragons!"
"I'll slaughter three of your dragons!"
"I'll slaughter five of your dragons!"
"I'll slaughter ten of your dragons!"
"I'll slaughter fifteen of your dragons!"
Li Qinqin sent Zhang Ye out and closed the courtyard door. The two of them couldn't see each other anymore, but they were still shouting at each other through the courtyard door. Li Qinqin wanted to laugh when she saw this.
...
Later that afternoon.
At the recording studio of I Am a Singer.
When Zhang Ye came back, Hou Ge and Dafei came looking for him.
"Aiya, Director Zhang, where have you been?"
"We've been waiting for you."
"Can you guys let me have lunch first?"
"Please have a look at this document."
"Alright, got it."
"We'll start recording at 2 PM?"
"Yes, the time doesn't change."
As the core leader of the program, as well as having multiple responsibilities, Zhang Ye could not even leave for a short while. There were countless matters of the program team that required his decision. After having lunch, he immediately got busy again. Even if he wanted to take an afternoon nap, it would be ruined.
But he could feel that everyone was in a good state of mind today. With Central TV's change in leadership and the culprit who had caused them so much trouble leaving, there was now a reshuffle on the other side. The people from I Am a Singer's program team were of course very excited. For the time being, there wouldn't be anyone who would find fault with them anymore.
He bumped into Zhang Xia, Chen Guang, and the others backstage.
"Zhang 'er." Chen Guang beckoned.
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Old Chen, have you finished rehearsing the songs?"
"It's fine." Chen Guang confidently replied.
Zhang Xia asked, "Little Zhang, how are your preparations?"
Xiaodong also came over to join in the fun. "What will Director Zhang be singing today?"
Zhang Ye blinked. "It's already been rehearsed. What we're going to sing will be kept a secret for now."
"You're going to use your trump card? Looks like I have to sing better. "
"Cut it out. You're making it sound like you haven't been singing properly all this while." Zhang Ye chuckled.
Xiaodong grinned and said, "I've also prepared a good song for this episode. I guarantee that it will give you all a fright. Director Zhang, you have to be careful. Don't lose."
Zhang Ye said, "Alright."
Zhang Xia smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to seeing what new song you'll write. That's all for now. I'll go and prepare some more. See you all onstage? All the best! "
"Alright."
"See you onstage."
"Do your best."
Soon after, the recording of the show began.
First, it was the drawing of lots.
Dong Shanshan smiled and said, "Before the drawing of lots, I would like to suggest that we welcome the new singer. Director Zhang's appearance on the previous episode was too sudden, so no one could react in time. Director Zhang was always onstage and didn't get a chance to do so. Since we're all gathered here today, let's officially welcome him."
"Welcome, Director Zhang."
"Hahaha!"
"Welcome!"
"Director Zhang, please go easy on me."
Applause rang out.
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "Alright, thank you, everyone. But it's fine if you go easy on me. I was at the bottom of the rankings in the previous episode, so it's already pretty good that I didn't get eliminated."
Xiaodong stabbed him. "Even if you were at the bottom, would Amy be at the bottom?"
Amy said, "… Sister Dong, can I hit you?"
Everyone laughed.
The drawing of lots began. There were both happy and sad moments.
Xiaodong drew number 1.
Chen Guang drew number 2.
Zhang Xia drew number 3.
As for Zhang Ye, his luck was pretty good. He drew number 7, which meant that he would be the last to perform.
Today was the eighth episode. Every time there was an even number, it would be an elimination round. On the surface, the singers might look like they were laughing and joking, but it would be a lie to say that they weren't nervous. Those who had good results wanted to maintain their results and make a push to live up to the audience's expectations. Meanwhile, those who had bad results in the previous episode were fighting to stay in the competition and giving it their all. Otherwise, they would miss out on the hottest stage in the country.
Everyone wanted to stay until the end!
Everyone wanted to participate in the grand finals of the Masked King!
For this, every singer would give it their all!
In the front stage.
The audience was already full.
"I'm so looking forward to it!"
"Let's hurry up and start!"
“GOGOGOGO！”
"I love Zhang Xia!"
"I love Xiaodong and Amy a lot!"
"I love Zhang Ye only!"
"Haha, I'm also looking forward to Zhang Ye's new song!"
"Will he really not sing a song a second time?"
"Yeah, Zhang Ye has never sung a song that he repeats onstage before."
"Now that Sing! is done for, we can only depend on I Am a Singer!"
"The viewership ratings for the previous episode were off the charts. This is the elimination round, so with Zhang Ye joining the show, it will definitely go up another level. I wonder how high it will go."
"Zhang Ye's previous song was so weird!"
"Hahahaha, but it was really good!"
"He's definitely going to sing well this time."
"Yeah, it's the elimination round, so he's definitely going to give it his all!"
"Yeah, Zhang Ye's current ranking is also very dangerous."
"Teacher Zhang, you can do it!"
The singers had not even come out yet, but the audience was already getting restless. Quite a few people were shouting the names of their favorite singers and cheering them on.
At this moment, the lights converged.
Zhang Ye walked out with a smile and a microphone in his hand.
The applause immediately overturned the ceiling!
Standing still, Zhang Ye looked at everyone and enunciated clearly, "Hello, everyone. Welcome to I Am a Singer, an exclusive title sponsor of Brain Gold. I'm the executive director, Zhang Ye. Oh, I'm also the host, oh, and the participating singers — hai, let's not talk about this anymore. If we talk too much, it'll just make me cry."
The audience laughed.
Zhang Ye said, "Today is the elimination round, so one of the contestants will be leaving the stage soon. That person could be me, Teacher Amy, Teacher Zhao Wuliu, or even Teacher Chen Guang. On this stage, anything is possible. So in order to avoid getting eliminated, as a replacement contestant, I have specially sought the advice of the experienced Teacher Amy. How can I successfully stay in the competition every time?"
Stay in the competition?
Experienced?
The audience cramped up with laughter!
Backstage, Amy nearly fainted!
Zhang Ye said in a serious tone, "Then Teacher Amy told me something that I learned a lot from."
What did she say?
What did Amy say?
The audience's appetite was whetted.
The next moment, Zhang Ye said, "In simple translation, what she said is —" Suddenly, his expression turned serious as he lowered his head and took out a cue card. "Thank you to the leading health supplement brand, Brain Gold Corporation, for being the exclusive title sponsor of this show. Thank you to Hubei Pharmaceutical Corporation for your strong sponsorship. If you're going to use a tablet, then use the 8-inch Polaroid tablet with multi-core technology. Sweet Sweet fruit juice. It's so sweet you can feel it in your heart!"
Pfft!
Fuck you!
That's it?
You're doing this again!
The audience was rocking back and forth with laughter. The audience cheered, "Yi!!!"
That feeling, that atmosphere, it was as though they were on a crosstalk stage!
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "My job is done after I've run the commercial without leaving a trace. Then let's leave the remaining time to our seven singers. Let's welcome the first singer."
Pfft!
Did you say that without leaving a trace!
