Onstage.
Zhang Ye was the fifth singer to perform.
When the instruments were placed onstage one after another, seven or eight performers sat down around the instruments. At this moment, everyone in the audience seemed to be holding their breaths.
Sheng?
Flute?
Violin?
Yangqin?
What are they trying to do?
Such a big event?
Some of the audience members even recognized these performers!
"Look!"
"Chen Di? He's a famous cellist! "
"Old Zhao? He's a master performer on the yangqin! "
"Sun Li? A famous folk musician? "
"They're all big shots!"
"Damn, this is going to be a big move!"
"Zhang Ye has invited so many performers to perform?"
"This is awesome!"
"This is going to be a hit!"
"Zhang Ye has finally been enlightened. He's finally not going to perform plaza dancing anymore!"
The audience was shocked!
The singers backstage were also shocked. At this moment, they were truly convinced and certain that Zhang Ye was really going to perform a big move. Each of these instruments seemed to exude a murderous aura, and each of these performers could stand on their own. For so many of these performers to accompany Zhang Ye on stage, they wondered what kind of work Zhang Ye had brought out to attract them. These masters were not people who could be hired with money!
Zhang Xia's expression turned serious.
Xiaodong sat up straighter in her seat.
Chen Guang leaned forward and stared at the screen.
Everyone was looking at Zhang Ye and the folk musicians onstage with anticipation, waiting for their stunning performance.
The performance began.
The accompaniment suddenly came in.
Zhang Ye's expression suddenly became rich. His eyelids drooped as though he had entered the state of the song and was unable to extricate himself.
The sound of the zither never stopped!
The rhythm was getting faster and faster!
Zhang Ye suddenly started singing.
"Ah — Oh!
"Ah — Oh hey!
"Ah — Oh!
"Ah — Oh hey!"
Chen Guang was dumbfounded!
Amy's expression was very interesting!
Xiaodong was also staring with wide eyes in disbelief!
Director Zhang!
Is this the depth you were talking about?
This is the depth you were talking about?
I'm gonna faint!
Why don't you go to heaven!
Why don't you go to the universe!
But Zhang Ye was extremely engrossed in it.
"Ah si da, ah si da!"
"Ah si da ah si da ge ge ge!"
"Ahhh —"
"Ahhh —"
"Ahhh —"
"Ahhh —"
"Aiyaya!"
"Aiyaya!"
The audience was also stumbling!
This was Zhang Ye's big move? Another song without lyrics? Only virtual characters? Zhang Ye, that's enough! Don't you have any sense of decency!
Many people who heard this burst into laughter!
Some people found it amusing.
Some people found it funny.
Everyone thought that Zhang Ye was trying to be funny, but no one could see the seriousness in Zhang Ye's eyes. Perhaps only Huang Cheng noticed it.
Backstage.
The singers who had already performed sat together.
"This song is called 'Uneasy'? Pfft, it was really perturbed! As someone who listens to songs, I can't even sit still. Zhang Ye, that's enough! "
Little Dong laughed. "I really don't know what to say about him."
Chen Guang said helplessly, "Director Zhang is having too much fun."
Hearing this, Huang Cheng suddenly said, "He's not having fun."
Chen Guang was taken aback. "Eh?"
Huang Cheng said very seriously, "I'm also a performer, so I'm more sensitive to the emotions of an instrument. Can't you all tell? Every performer onstage is very focused, especially Zhang Ye. He's not having fun, nor is he joking around. He's singing very seriously. "
Serious?
Was this song even remotely close to being serious?
Everyone could not quite understand.
Onstage, the performance had already ended.
The audience was ridiculing him non-stop.
"I really have to give it to him!"
"To think that I believed he was going to come up with a big move just a second ago!"
"I'd be a fool to believe him!"
"Hahahaha! Hurry up and eliminate him. I've had enough! "
"Right, we can't vote for Zhang Ye. We have to vote for someone else!"
"Let this fellow be eliminated. Otherwise, I'm going to die of laughter!"
"Let Zhang Ye go in peace."
"Yes, yes."
"But I think this song is pretty good?"
"Go away, what's so good about it!"
"From a certain point of view, this song has indeed stunned the audience. But it's definitely not as shocking as what Little Dong and Chen Guang sang. It's completely different!"
"I like Zhang Ye. He's really good at making people laugh!"
"Yeah, wherever he goes, there will always be some jokers."
"He's too high. It feels like he's singing in a KTV!"
"Yeah, this isn't a song for a competition. Instead, it's a song to warm up the audience. We can't let this fellow get into the finals. Otherwise, who knows what he'll come up with!"
"But I want to see it instead!"
"I'm also looking forward to seeing what Zhang Ye will sing in the finals."
"Finals, my ass. Just this song? It'd be a miracle if he could get into the finals! "
"Yeah, he was in sixth place in the previous episode."
The audience was saying all sorts of things.
The next person to perform was the replacement singer from the previous episode.
However, the moment he opened his mouth, the replacement singer made a mistake and broke his high note. Breaking a note was a very normal thing to do, as no singer could guarantee that they would perform perfectly every time. But as the replacement singer was relatively inexperienced and lacked stage experience, as well as being a newcomer, he was a little flustered after he broke his note. Feeling remorseful and regretful, he forced himself to finish performing the song.
Backstage, Chen Guang, Little Dong, and the others were also feeling sorry for him. Actually, among the newcomers, this singer was one of the strongest. He wasn't impetuous when it came to singing and had a good voice and singing skills. All he lacked was some opportunities, some good songs, and some stage experience. Otherwise, he would definitely have a place among the top experts of the music industry. Perhaps for now, the stage was still too big for him and he was moving too fast. Sometimes, pressure would force a person to move forward. For example, Zhang Ye was a classic example of such a person. No matter how big the stage was, no matter how much pressure, no matter how much scolding, he would still be able to withstand it. This was also the reason why Zhang Ye could get to where he was today. But a lot of people did not have that ability. The pressure would only make them nervous and break down.
The audience also felt that it was a great pity.
"Your sister."
"What a huge mistake!"
"That fellow, Zhang Ye, is going to get into the finals?"
"That fellow's luck is too good!"
"The replacement singer isn't good enough!"
"Hai, he's a newcomer. His ability to withstand pressure is too weak."
"If we're talking about the person who can withstand pressure the best in the entertainment industry, it's still Zhang Ye. Just look at that song. If it were anyone else, they would have blushed. But Zhang Ye? He finished singing without a blush or a heartbeat. How thick-skinned does he have to be? This fellow has never been afraid of getting scolded by others. "
"Who can compare to him?"
"He's just a thick-skinned fool, haha!"
"You can see the difference between a veteran and a newcomer just from this."
After one round, all the performances ended.
The rankings were also released. The tenth episode's rankings:
First: Chen Guang
Second: Zhang Xia
Third: Xiaodong
Fourth: Huang Cheng
Fifth: Amy
Sixth: Zhang Ye
Seventh: Li Naran
The replacement singer was ranked seventh overall in both rounds and was eliminated.
As the second-to-last contestant, Zhang Ye had narrowly advanced to the finals of I Am a Singer!
