…
At Zhang Xia's house.
"Mom! Teacher Zhang, he — "
"That's amazing!"
"Yeah! I can feel my blood rushing to my head! "
"This kid is really amazing!"
…
At Dong Shanshan's house.
Her old classmates were in an uproar!
"He's too fucking awesome!"
"That high note, that voice!"
"That's what you fucking call singing!"
"My blood is boiling. What should I do!"
…
At Xiaodong's house.
"Xiaoxian, why are you crying again?"
"I can't help it."
"This is the real Zhang Ye! He's really come back! "
"I wonder how many people will be able to accompany him on this journey again!"
…
At a male idol's studio.
"How could this be!"
"H-He can still sing?"
"Hasn't he been in prison all these years?"
…
At an entertainment company.
"Who says that he can't write songs?"
"I don't know. That's what they're saying on the Internet."
"Isn't that bullshit!"
"I have a feeling that Zhang Ye is really going to stir up something big with his return this time!"
"Surely not, right? Doesn't everyone admit that the entertainment circle has entered the era of the male idols? Ning Lan, Zhang Yuanqi, Zhang Xia, and Yao Jiancai have all retired to the B-list, right? "
"But he's different."
"Ah, why is he different?"
"Because he's Zhang Ye!"
"Even if it's him, he can't beat the male idols in this day and age, can he?"
"Who knows?"
…
Backstage.
The three male idols in their respective rooms were all clapping.
"Amazing."
"It's such a good song!"
"What a great song!"
There was a live broadcast in every room.
However, their hearts were in turmoil at this moment.
So this was Zhang Ye?
Was this the most legendary star of that era?
Back when Zhang Ye was reigning supreme, none of them had even debuted yet. Of course they knew of Zhang Ye, had listened to his songs, watched his variety shows, and even read his novels and poems. But this was the first time they were meeting him face to face. To be honest, they were very shocked. If Zhang Ye's first song was said to be a little confusing to them, then this song had really given them a fright!
Truly amazing!
None of those celebrities from back then had gotten to where they were by fishing in troubled waters!
However, they still did not think that Zhang Ye could compete with them on this stage. After all, the difference in popularity was too great.
Their popularity was justified.
But Zhang Ye had been gone for too long. He was already past his prime.
Zhang Ye might be more popular than a has-been singer like Guan Xue. At the peak of her popularity, Guan Xue was only a top A-lister in the country, while Zhang Ye had reached the top of the entire Asian entertainment industry. Thinking about it this way, it was only normal. But compared to them, Zhang Ye's current popularity was clearly far from enough. Regarding this matter, the three of them, their teams, and their talent agencies had always firmly believed in it.
The staff had already come in.
"Teacher Little Hai."
"Mhm."
"It's your turn."
"Alright."
Hai Yifei took a deep breath and smiled confidently before striding out of the room.
…
Zhang Ye returned.
He was the first to finish performing in the second round, so he was the only one in the room. He sat down and took a sip of the drink beside him. Then he looked up at the television in the room and quietly waited for the other singers to take the stage. He had already done all that he could and should have done. He had no regrets. He was only waiting for a result. It wasn't that Zhang Ye cared too much about winning or losing, but that he wanted to know how many people had heard his songs. He wanted to know how many of them would still be willing to accompany him to the end of his journey.
This was very important.
This was very important to Zhang Ye.
…
On the live broadcast.
Hai Yifei's singing voice drifted out.
On Weibo, Hai Yifei's fans were canvassing for votes everywhere.
"Let's vote!"
"Let's vote for Haihai!"
"He sang so well!"
"Wow, he's even rapping!"
"It's the crucial period for the semi-finals! Hurry up and vote! "
…
Next.
Qu Dong took the stage.
Weibo became even more lively.
"What did Hai Yifei sing? Ququ still sings better!"
"Don't listen to Zhang Ye's lies. Vote for Qu Dong!"
"Haha, our Ququ doesn't need to ask for votes, right? There are too many fans. Even if two out of ten of Ququ's fans voted, it would still be higher than all of them, right? "
"That's right, that's right!"
"Yeah, I wanted to vote for our Ququ, but when Zhang Ye sang just now, I didn't know why, but I couldn't help but vote for him."
"Fuck, me too."
"Previous posters, can you guys do it?"
"We were wrong, but Zhang Ye sang really well."
…
Finally.
Qi Liang took the stage.
"Qiqi's performance today was amazing."
"Yeah, his singing has always been one of the best in the music industry."
"It was indeed amazing, but … but I voted for Zhang Ye."
"What? Shuishui, you're the founding member of Qiqi's fan club! "
"Tears, actually, I've always been a hardcore fan of Zhang Ye since four years ago. After listening to Teacher Zhang's two songs, I really couldn't help but cry. Please forgive me! "
"How depressing, Shui Shui has become a traitor."
"It's not Shuishui's fault. I've voted for Teacher Zhang too. There are some things that I thought I had long forgotten, but after seeing Teacher Zhang again, I realized that there are many things that I can't forget for the rest of my life."
…
The second round of performances ended.
Hai Yifei, Qu Dong, and Qi Liang had all returned.
Hai Yifei smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang, I'll still have to consult you in the future."
Zhang Ye smiled. "Well said, well said."
Qi Liang also said, "Brother Hai, you sang very well."
Hai Yifei said, "Thank you."
Qu Dong said, "The pressure is really great."
Hai Yifei said, "What's there to feel pressured about? I feel pressured."
Zhang Ye did not say much.
Most of the time, it was the three little fresh meats who were being polite to each other, at least on the surface. As for what they were thinking in their hearts, only they knew. But from this, it could be seen that the male idols still acknowledged each other. Towards Zhang Ye, they subconsciously rejected him. Perhaps they had already decided that Zhang Ye would definitely not qualify to take part in the grand finals next week.
The singers gathered together and sat down to wait for the final results.
They were watching TV.
The live audience was looking at the host.
The viewers in front of their televisions were also glued to the screen.
…
The host, Cui Na, came onstage.
Cui Na said, "I hereby announce that the voting for the second round of I Am a Singer's battle has ended. The final voting results have been sent to the tablet in my hand. Let me have a look." When she looked down, Cui Na was taken aback. She quickly composed herself and looked up. "Next, I will be announcing the contestant who will be leaving us in the second round. Regrettably, he will also lose the right to compete for the grand finals next week."
Silence.
A lot of people didn't even dare to breathe.
In the media.
The celebrities in the entertainment circle.
At the various celebrity studios.
At the entertainment companies.
The people.
Countless people pricked up their ears.
Cui Na said, "The contestant who will be leaving us in the second round is —" After a long pause, she read out the name. "Hai Yifei!"
…
At Zhang Ye's maternal grandma's house.
His sisters were jumping up and down like crazy!
"Ahhhh!"
"My brother has won!"
"Hahahahaha!"
…
At Dong Shanshan's house.
"Holy shit!"
"Zhang 'er has made it into the top three!"
"Oh my God!"
"That bastard has eliminated the male idols?"
…
At Chen Guang's house.
"Holy shit!"
"Did I hear that right?"
"You didn't hear wrong! Hai Yifei has been eliminated! "
"Zhang 'er is too amazing!"
…
At Xiaodong's house.
"Awesome! This, this is really awesome! "
"This is the first time I've heard of a celebrity of our era being able to eliminate a male idol!"
"Yeah, this is the first time it's happened!"
"Teacher Zhang is really staying?"
…
At Hai Yifei's Studio.
"How is that possible!"
"This, this —"
"How can Haihai not be as popular as Zhang Ye! How is that possible! "
…
Online.
Countless netizens were also stunned!
"Wasn't Zhang Ye going to be eliminated?"
"How did it turn out like this?"
"Just how many fans does Zhang Ye have?"
"This is too unexpected!"
"That's one of the most popular idols we're talking about! How could he defeat him? "
