In the studio.
"When will the moon be clear and bright?
"With a cup of wine in my hand, I ask the clear sky.
"In the heavenly palace, I wonder.
"What year is it tonight?"
This was Petal Shower's performance. She was singing Zhang Yuanqi's song. Or to be more precise, she was singing the song that Zhang Ye wrote for Zhang Yuanqi!
When she opened her mouth, it shocked the entire audience!
Zhang Ye could also hear her singing on the surveillance camera in the waiting room. Petal Shower was still using her falsetto singing style. No one dared to sing like that, almost no one. That was because the changes in falsetto were too small and too monotonous. Many of the syllables were not easy to control either. However, Petal Shower's voice and handling style were very special. Her falsetto was really different from others!
This was her killer move!
Several of the guessing panel's judges were also stunned by her performance!
When the performance ended, Dong Shanshan went onstage. King of Oddity, who was the first to sing, also came onstage. The three of them stood in the center of the stage and looked at the guessing panel.
Dong Shanshan smiled. "Teachers, what do you think?"
Zhang Xia praised, "Petal Shower, that was a great performance!"
Petal Shower bowed slightly and said into the voice-changing microphone, "Thank you, Grandma Zhang."
Zhang Xia blinked. "If you call me grandma, does that mean you're not that old?"
Petal Shower said, "Isn't grandma your official title?"
The audience laughed.
Amy said in surprise, "Are you really Sister Yuanqi? Are you deliberately using your falsetto voice to trick us? You're not letting us recognize you? "
When Petal Shower heard that, she immediately mimicked Zhang Yuanqi's posture and habits.
Everyone was amused by this.
Zhang Xia immediately laughed and said, "It's definitely not Yuanqi. Yuanqi isn't that flexible."
Chen Guang looked at King of Oddity. "Do we know each other?"
King of Oddity looked at him. "Probably."
Chen Guang asked again, "Do you have my cell phone number?"
King of Oddity was silent for a while. "… Yes."
The audience burst into an uproar!
Amy went up to grab Chen Guang's cell phone. "Give it to me. I'll look through the contact list!"
Chen Guang's hair stood on end. "I want to look through it too, but I can't recognize him at all! There are more than a hundred people in the music industry in my cell phone! "
Next, it was time for the live voting.
The competition was divided into two rounds. In the first round, the six contestants would face off against each other in pairs, and the winners would move on to the next round, where the current Masked King would be chosen. The three losers would also face off against each other again, and one of them would be chosen to stay on stage safely. The other two would be eliminated immediately, and they could choose to remove their masks or leave without doing so. Two people would be eliminated every time. This was the cruel competition system!
Dong Shanshan nudged her gold-rimmed glasses and announced, "Everyone, please pick up your voting devices and vote for the contestant you like the most."
The voting began!
On the big screen at the back, the votes for both sides began to rise.
There were a total of 500 judges present, and they had a total of 500 votes.
The audience watched the screen excitedly as they voted!
Finally, the number of votes was fixed!
King of Oddity: 137 votes.
Petal Shower: 362 votes
There was also one abstention vote, which was not valid!
Dong Shanshan smiled and said, "I hereby announce that the first person to advance is — Petal Shower!"
Petal Shower bowed slightly and glanced at the VIP seats.
Chen Guang was also looking at her. The two of them looked at each other for a moment before looking away again.
Dong Shanshan said to King of Oddity, "I would also like to invite King of Oddity to the backstage to rest and prepare for the next round of the competition."
King of Oddity did not have much of an expression on his face. He nodded to the judges and audience before leaving the stage.
Some of the audience members were happy, while others were regretful.
"I really like King of Oddity!"
"Petal Shower sings better!"
"Her singing is so awesome!"
"This is so fun! This show is even more interesting than The Voice! "
"Hahaha, you can't say that. It's not the same type of show as The Voice, but it's really good to watch! I f * cking want to know where these people who can sing so well come from. Which big name is this in disguise? "
"Petal Shower must be a big name!"
"That's right!"
Next.
The second round of the competition began.
Sunflower in the Starlight vs. Sunset Glow.
The live audience was once again filled with screams!
"The sun is my name.
"The sky is my belief.
"The earth is my sustenance.
"Humanity is my enemy."
Her amazing singing filled the entire venue!
...
The Clown had already arrived at the venue and was standing outside the door, ready to go.
Hu Fei had specially rushed over. "How are you doing?"
Han Qi hurriedly said, "Director Hu, don't let Teacher speak."
Hu Fei nodded and looked at The Clown. "Just do your best. Winning or losing is no longer important. For you to be able to go onstage in such a condition is actually more than enough."
Dafei also came over. "Yeah, if you can't carry on singing, just come down. It's fine, no one will blame you."
The Clown smiled but did not say anything.
Actually, no one knew that The Clown's physical condition was even worse than they had expected. It was not as simple as a cold or fever, but an internal injury inflicted by a martial arts grandmaster. It was an internal injury left behind by the joint attacks of over a dozen martial arts grandmasters and disciples from the large martial arts sects. The current Zhang Ye was practically powerless.
The hubbub of the live audience could be heard from here.
The voting had already begun.
"Sunset Glow!"
"Sunset Glow!"
"Sunflower!"
"Sunflower!"
The audience was shouting the name of the singer they were supporting!
However, Zhang Ye did not pay any attention to them. He did not have the energy to care about who won or lost either. Just standing here right now was taking up all of his energy.
Finally, the voting ended!
Dong Shanshan announced, "Let us congratulate Sunflower in the Starlight!"
Sunset Glow had lost. It was a very pitiful loss as she was only short by a dozen or so votes!
At this moment, the studio's recording was paused.
Dong Shanshan confirmed with Hu Fei over the earpiece.
"Director."
"I'm here."
"Will the next contestant be fine?"
"He's fine."
"OK, I understand."
The live audience and judges were also looking at Dong Shanshan in bewilderment. They did not know what was going on.
The recording continued.
Dong Shanshan said, "The next contestant has encountered some problems with his body today, but he still insists on going onstage. Let us welcome — The Clown!"
The Clown?
Zhang Xia was taken aback.
The audience looked in the direction of the door and applauded enthusiastically!
Behind the door.
Hu Fei said, "You can do it!"
Han Qi also said with a pained heart, "Teacher, you can do it!"
Dafei raised his fist. "You can do it! Teacher Clown! "
A female staff member also said, "You must persevere until the end of the song!"
"You can definitely do it!" another person said.
Many of the program team staff were moved by The Clown's tenacity and stubbornness. They knew very well that a person who could poke himself with three needles was definitely no ordinary person. He was a ruthless person who would risk his life to go onstage! They did not know why this person would go this far. Why did he have such a strong desire to go onstage? Why did he not collapse even though he was clearly on the verge of collapse!?
The lights came on!
The door opened!
Zhang Ye touched his mask and slowly walked forward, one step at a time. The closer he got to the stage, the more determined his footsteps became!
Applause rang out again!
"Wow."
"This mask looks really good!"
"The Clown?"
"What's wrong with the way he's walking?"
"Is he that sick? Then why is he still going onstage! "
"Damn, it looks like it's really serious!"
"Will he be able to finish singing a song like that?"
"I don't know."
When the audience saw this, they started whispering. Some of them even pointed at the stage.
The person wearing the clown mask took a very long time to walk the 20-meter-long path.
Zhang Xia frowned. "Can he do it?"
Chen Guang said, "I heard that he has a high fever and caught a cold."
Amy was taken aback. "Ah?"
They were all singers, so almost all of them had encountered similar situations before. They knew very well what it felt like to sing in such a condition. Moreover, from the looks of this person, even his walking posture didn't seem right. It didn't seem like it was as simple as a fever or a cold!
Chen Yidong said, "This is really not easy."
Wang Zhuishu sighed. "Let's hope that he can persevere until the end of the song."
In the waiting rooms, the other five contestants were also looking at him on the camera.
In the center of the stage.
Zhang Ye finally arrived. He stood there and gently closed his eyes.
The lights went off!
The studio instantly fell silent!
The sound of a flute suddenly drifted into the air.
Then, the sound of a piccolo played.
The music started, but Zhang Ye did not move at all. He did not even open his eyes.
Persevere until the end of the song?
He had heard these words countless times on his way here from backstage. Did you guys misunderstand something? Did you think that I received three injections of COPD and stood here with my old injuries just so that I could finish singing the song regardless of whether it was good or bad? I'm not trying to finish singing it, I'm trying to sing it well!
So what if I lost my voice?
So what if my old injuries relapsed?
None of these are excuses!
I don't know how to make excuses, nor do I need the sympathy of others. All this while, I've walked all the way here alone, so I can't fall. Because I know that if I do, no one will help me up. So I can only keep moving forward, keep moving forward, to where I want to go — and that's probably the reason why I'm standing here!
The gorgeous lights shone in all directions!
The cameras were pointed at him.
The audience was watching him.
The guessing panel was watching him.
The other five contestants were watching him.
The pair of eyes under the clown mask suddenly opened without warning. The hoarse and pained voice behind the mask spread throughout the studio!
"I am a wolf from the north.
"Walking in the boundless wilderness."
"The mournful northern wind blows by.
"The long yellow sands pass by."
Chen Guang was stunned!
Amy was stunned!
Zhang Xia was also stunned!
What song was this?
Why was it a song that she had never heard before?
A wolf?
A wolf from the north?
Zhang Ye was completely immersed in the song. Today, he was not performing the original version of "Wolf" with his proud and aloof voice. He was using his imperfect voice to sing himself at this moment! A wolf. A wounded wolf! A wounded wolf that still wanted to move forward!
Zhang Ye raised the microphone.
"I can only grit my cold teeth!
"And give two, long howls in return!
"Not for anything else!
"Only for the legendary beautiful grasslands!"
This was the portrayal of him today!
It was also the portrayal of him in the past few years since he entered the entertainment industry!
He was very tired!
He was covered in wounds!
But he had to keep moving forward!
Amy was mesmerized by the song!
Zhang Xia was also stunned by it!
Chen Guang was staring intently at him. It was as though he couldn't wait to rush up and take off his mask to see who he was!
Loneliness!
The cold wind!
Grit your teeth. Only for the beautiful grasslands?
Your grasslands … just what is it? Is it worth it for you to stand onstage and sing at the top of your lungs when your voice is already like this?
Even a layman like Yao Jiancai was moved!
The judges knew that this was definitely someone with a story. It was just that no one would know or understand his story!
Zhang Ye lowered his eyelids and sang.
"I am a wolf from the north.
"Walking in the boundless wilderness."
"The mournful northern winds pass by.
"The long yellow sands pass by.
"I can only grit my cold teeth.
"And give two long howls in return.
"Not for anything else!
"Only for the legendary beautiful grasslands!"
Suddenly.
The clown mask looked up and howled.
"Awoo!"
He was imitating a wolf's howl!
This long howl lasted for a full eight or nine seconds!
The atmosphere in the studio was immediately stirred up!
Chen Guang stood up. This was the first time he had stood up while listening to a song today!
Amy did not stand up. She kept hugging her head and exclaiming, "Oh my God!"
Zhang Xia was extremely curious. "Just who on earth is this!"
Zhang Ye did not care about the state of his voice at all. Cracked voice? Trembling? Unable to reach the high notes? Broken voice? Lost voice? He did not care about any of that! He did not even have any distracting thoughts like "What if I can't sing anymore?" or "What if I suddenly lose my voice?"
"Not for anything else!
"Only for the legendary beautiful grasslands!
