It had been four years.
It was still the same smile.
It was still the same tears.
It was still the same stage.
It was still the same crowd.
In the outside world, many of the people watching the live broadcast were dumbfounded.
They were no strangers to this scene.
They had seen it before on this stage several years ago. That crazy crowd, that radiant singer, they had all seen it before. Today, several years later, when Zhang Ye once again stood on the stage of I Am a Singer, no one could have expected that such a scene would happen again!
…
Back at home.
Zhang Ye's mother was stunned. "W-What's going on!"
Li Qinqin was surprised. "They're all using Little Ye's name?"
Wu Changhe said, "Damn, has this kid's popularity really dropped?"
Wu Mo said in horror, "There are too many people here!"
…
At Ning Lan's house.
Several of his friends were dumbfounded.
"What's going on?"
"Who knows!"
"Who said that he's losing his popularity?"
"This is a little scary!"
…
At a newly crowned Heavenly Queen's studio.
Everyone in the room was frowning.
"This —"
"This shouldn't be happening!"
"Yeah, this doesn't make sense!"
…
On Weibo.
"Heavens!"
"Am I seeing things?"
"It's been four years. How can something like this still happen?"
"Qi Liang's and Qu Dong's fans are being crushed?"
"What the heck! This is amazing! "
"Could Zhang Ye really be able to turn things around?"
…
On the live broadcast.
Qi Liang went onstage.
The moment he stepped onto the stage, Qi Liang's heart skipped a beat. This was because he suddenly realized that everything had changed. The audience was still applauding and cheering for him, but the atmosphere was a little different from when he was onstage last week. He realized that the audience was not applauding him as much as they had for Zhang Ye just now!
What did this mean?
Qi Liang did not dare to think about it.
Could it be that they were all Zhang Ye's fans today?
Could it be that there were a lot of his fans here today?
Qi Liang could only think of this.
Over there, the music was already playing.
Qi Liang knew that he could only play his "big move." This was a song he had been preparing for a month. It was also the song he sang the best and the one he was most confident about. That was why he had brought it out for today's grand finale. He wanted to fight for the title of the Grand King of Singers.
He started singing.
High notes.
Feelings.
Everything was perfect.
Hearing the loud applause, Qi Liang finally heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled, bowed slightly, and walked off the stage.
Then it was Qu Dong's turn.
Qu Dong was also feeling very conflicted. When Zhang Ye returned, Qu Dong and many of the other new celebrities in the entertainment circle did not really think much of it. They all felt that Zhang Ye was past his prime and did not have much popularity left. They felt that it was impossible for him to compete with the popular celebrities like them. But now, the truth had Qu Dong and a lot of others trembling in fear. They could not believe what they had just witnessed.
I can't relax!
Now was the time for real swords and spears!
Qu Dong was also motivated. He nodded at the music teacher and was ready.
The music started.
Qu Dong sang loudly.
Go all out!
Today, Qi Liang and Qu Dong were going all out!
…
Offstage.
The guests also sucked in a cold breath.
Season Four's Singers:
"He's going all out!"
"Brother Qi has really taken out his trump card."
"Yeah, it was this high pitch that allowed him to become the Masked King of Season Four."
"This high pitch is so unique that no one in the music industry can imitate it."
Season Five's Singers:
"Brother Qu has unleashed his trump card."
"Well done, he's got it!"
"Right, he'll definitely make it to the next round!"
"But Qi Liang is also very good."
"I'm still more optimistic about Qu Dong. This song was the first song on his first album back then and was the song that he debuted with. His fans should really like it."
Season One's Singers:
Chen Guang heaved a sigh of relief. "They've all finished singing."
He Huan smiled. "How do you feel?"
Chen Guang said, "Are you talking about his singing skills?"
He Huan said, "Who do you think sang better?"
Chen Guang laughed. "Of course you're asking. Who do you think?"
Xue Kaiqi said, "When it comes to singing, even Grandma Zhang can't beat him. This fellow was born to be a singer, so if we were to compare singing skills, only Zhang Yuanqi could compete with him in the entertainment circle. Now that Sister Zhang has retired, there's no one else in the entertainment circle who can compete with him in singing."
Zhang Xia said, "I'm just afraid that this isn't a competition of singing skills."
Chen Guang smiled. "The results will be out soon. We'll know how much popularity that kid Zhang Ye has left this time. Let's just wait and see."
He Huan said, "Qi Liang and Qu Dong sang very well too."
But Chen Guang nodded. "The young people these days are indeed quite good."
…
The performance ended.
Online, the discussions were going crazy.
"Vote for Qi Liang!"
"Vote for Qu Qu!"
"Everyone, vote for him!"
"The voting period is almost over!"
"Help Zhang Ye get votes!"
"Get lost, previous poster!"
"Don't vote for Zhang Ye!"
Several of the singers' fans were in a heated argument.
There were also quite a few fans of other celebrities who came to add to the chaos. Each of them had their own targets to support, and countless people were trying to get votes for their idols in order to fight for the final two tickets!
…
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes.
The voting period ended!
The fans were nervous!
The media was getting anxious!
The entertainment circle's people were also looking forward to it!
Who could it be?
Who would be eliminated in this round?
Qi Liang's heart was pounding. He had to win! He had to win!
Qu Dong looked calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil. He kept recalling his performance from earlier and felt that there shouldn't be any problems. Now it all depended on how everyone voted. Zhang Ye shouldn't be staying, right? There was no reason for him to stay! Neither Qi Liang nor he would have given the other a chance to stay!
…
On TV.
The host, Cui Na, was already onstage.
Immediately, everyone's eyes were fixed on her. The atmosphere was tense.
Cui Na could also feel the countless nervous gazes on her. She took a deep breath and smiled. "The results of the third round of voting have been sent to me, but I haven't looked at it yet. Actually, I'm just as nervous as everyone else. I don't like the fact that this moment has arrived, because another singer is about to leave us. But there's no other choice. This is a competition." With a pause, she said, "Now then, I will announce the results."
She then looked down at the voting results on her cell phone.
Cui Na was taken aback. She looked up. "To be honest, I didn't expect this."
The audience was going crazy with anxiety.
"Hurry up and tell us!"
"Who was it?"
"Who was eliminated?"
The TV viewers were also panicking.
"Your sister!"
"Hurry up and announce it!"
"Has Zhang Ye been eliminated?"
Cui Na said loudly, "The singer who will be leaving us this round is — Qi Liang! In other words, Qu Dong and Zhang Ye will soon begin the final battle for the title of Masked King! "
Chen Guang immediately stood up!
Zhang Xia gave a thumbs up!
Xue Kaiqi looked pleasantly surprised!
He Huan was dumbfounded!
The singers from the fourth and fifth seasons were also dumbfounded!
Qi Liang?
It was Qi Liang?
How was that possible!
The venue was in an uproar!
Qi Liang's heart sank to the bottom. Backstage, he stood there in a daze for two seconds, unable to react in time. I've lost? It's me?
Qu Dong was also stunned. Although he had advanced to the next round, he realized that he couldn't feel happy at all. It wasn't that he sympathized with Qi Liang as his opponent, but that he was shocked by Zhang Ye's current popularity. If the atmosphere in the venue was not enough to explain the situation, then the voting results were the best answer. There was no way this could be faked. This was something that required the people to vote for and support for. Zhang Ye had actually defeated Qi Liang? Qu Dong knew that even if Qi Liang's ranking on the domestic popularity rankings was two places lower than his, their popularity still wouldn't be that far apart!
What the hell was going on?
Just what the fuck was going on?
But he no longer had time to think about it!
Qu Dong and Zhang Ye's finals were about to begin!
The outcome of who would be crowned the grand champion of I Am a Singer would be decided very soon!
