The music stopped!
Applause rang out everywhere!
Many of the audience members were ignited!
"This song is invincible!"
"It's so fucking good!"
"Could this person be Chen Guang?"
"Pfft, Old Chen is onstage!"
"But how could he sing so well?! Besides, this song is amazing. It feels like it was written specifically for his current state! Which entertainment company's big shot is this guy from? "
"I don't know!"
However, there were also some people who were not convinced.
"The song is alright, but his voice is terrible."
"Yeah, he doesn't sing well."
"I don't understand it anyway."
"Is it good? I don't feel anything about it. "
"Maybe it's my first time listening to this song, so I don't feel anything special about it. I still feel that the previous singers sang too well, but this guy's voice isn't good enough."
There was no work that everyone liked.
The audience was very divided on The Clown's performance.
But the judges were all cheering.
Chen Guang said loudly, "Great!"
Amy clapped her hands furiously. "That was great!"
"Is there such a person in the music industry?" Zhang Xia was also very excited.
Yao Jiancai really liked this song. "Who could it be?!"
Chen Yidong looked to the side. "Even if Chen Guang had a bad cold, he might not have sung better than him, right? Losing one's voice from a cold is supposed to be a disadvantage, but The Clown managed to incorporate that major flaw in his voice into the song. I have to say that his overall performance is amazing! "
Chen Guang said honestly, "Yes, I definitely can't sing as well as him. I sang it at a concert three years ago when I had a cold and it was a complete mess!"
Wang Zhuishu nodded and said, "There aren't many people in the entire music industry who can sing like that with a voice like that!"
They were all guessing!
But they really couldn't figure it out!
...
Backstage.
In King of Oddity's waiting room.
King of Oddity looked at the director in the room and pointed to the television screen. "Are you sure this is the same person who sang 'I'm 50 Years Old Driver Smiles Brightly'?"
The director gave a wry smile and nodded.
King of Oddity was floored!
Holy shit!
I really thought that you were a bel canto singer!
As if I would believe you!
...
In Sunset Glow's waiting room.
Sunset Glow got goosebumps when she heard it. "This song is really good!"
So this was the real The Clown!
So this was his real singing style!
Previously, this fellow was indeed pretending!
…
On the stage.
The man in the clown mask put down his microphone and gave a slight bow. Then he turned around and slowly walked off the stage. Before he could come down, Han Qi and two staff from Beijing Television rushed over to support him. However, The Clown waved his hand to indicate that he did not need them.
The song ended.
It was a song by Qi Qin from his previous world, Wolf.
He felt that even if his voice was in its best condition, it would not be possible for him to perform better than it was now. He did not know how the guests felt, nor did he know how the audience would judge him, but he was already very satisfied with what he had.
Offstage.
Han Qi was going crazy. "Teacher, you sang too well, too well!"
Zhang Ye said, "Thank you."
Dafei also ran over. He was also stunned by what he heard from below the stage. He even felt that it was a little unbelievable. "Your voice is already like this, but you still sing so well? If your voice was fine, how would you be able to sing? "
Onstage.
Dong Shanshan's voice rang out. "Next, let's welcome our last contestant. He has a very tough name, so let's welcome — The Yak!"
Zhang Ye was already seated over there.
As he would have to go onstage soon, he could not return to the waiting room.
The Yak appeared on the other end of the stage.
It was a yak mask with horns on it. It looked very cute.
This was Zhang Ye's opponent for this round.
The audience applauded!
Zhang Ye had previously heard a clip of The Yak's performance. His evaluation of him was that his singing was not bad, but only at the level of 'not bad'. He was probably one of the weaker contestants among the starting contestants. But since this was a competition, everything was still unknown. No one knew when someone would suddenly show their prowess and ignite the entire audience. In the music industry, singing was not everything. It was just the foundation.
The stage lights went off.
The performance began.
"Deep love, like water and smoke.
"Blowing me before your eyes.
"Floating here and there in the mist."
Although The Yak was called The Yak and his mask was a little wild with a hint of cuteness, the song he sang was filled with deep emotion. It was very incongruous with his mask.
"I don't know where you're coming from.
"And I don't know where you're going.
"Flames of love.
"Out, out."
The song he sang was not very famous, but it was still very nice and had a lot of flavor to it. The contrast of a three-foot-tall man wearing a yak mask singing a love song was quite attractive.
The entire studio's attention was on The Yak.
Even Han Qi and the program team staff were looking over at him.
No one noticed that Zhang Ye was sweating more and more. Even though he was sitting in a chair, he could not hold on much longer. He did not continue listening to The Yak's performance. Instead, he opened the game ring and took out a bottle of stamina medicine from his inventory. This was one of the prizes he had won a long time ago. He still had over a dozen bottles left. Back when he was at Beijing Television and used Stay Up Late to help them with the smoking cessation commercial, he had relied on this to hold on. Now that he could not hold on any longer, Zhang Ye had no choice but to drink a bottle.
The effects were very quick.
His stamina immediately recovered a little and he could at least sit up straight.
At this moment, when The Yak was singing the B-segment, he suddenly had a flaw. He broke his falsetto, but very quickly, he adjusted it back.
What was the most difficult type of singing?
Singing live was the hardest! Because you would never know what would happen and could never redo it. Whether it was good or bad, there was only one chance!
The recording ended.
The performance ended.
The audience was still very engrossed in listening and applauded enthusiastically!
"Great!"
"How touching!"
"This person's voice is very recognizable!"
"It's nice, it's really nice!"
Of course, there were also some in the audience who felt that it was just average.
Dong Shanshan went onstage. "Alright, then let's invite The Clown onstage."
A moment later, The Clown came onstage. He and The Yak stood on either side of Dong Shanshan.
Dong Shanshan smiled and said, "Guest teachers? If you were to vote, who would you all vote for? "
Zhang Xia snatched it over and said, "Let me say it first. There's no need to say anything about The Yak. He sang quite well, although he broke his falsetto, right? But overall, it was very good. "
The Yak nodded. "Thank you, Teacher."
Zhang Xia said, "Speaking of The Clown, I really don't know what to say. I dare say that this person's artistic standards are very high. Furthermore, he's definitely a big shot. From his movements, posture, and stage presence, he's all …"
Wang Zhuishu interrupted, "That might not be true. I think he's a newcomer."
Zhang Xia said, "A newcomer can sing like that?"
Wang Zhuishu said, "The newcomers these days are very good."
Chen Guang also said, "I don't think he's necessarily from the music industry. He might even be a movie star? Because the other contestants are still traceable and we can still make some guesses. But for this person, I really don't have any impression of him at all! "
The famous variety host, Chen Yidong, spoke up, "If I were to vote, I would vote for The Yak."
The Yak bowed in thanks.
The Clown just stood there calmly.
Chen Guang was silent for a second. "From an artistic point of view, The Clown's performance was really wonderful. I can rate this song of his as perfect. Personally, I also fully support The Clown. But from a professional point of view, I would still vote for The Yak, even though he has some flaws."
The Yak bowed in thanks.
Wang Zhuishu thought for a moment. "Vote for The Yak."
The Yak bowed again. "Thank you, Teacher."
Yao Jiancai said, "I don't understand what you mean by professional or unprofessional, but I know that The Clown's song has moved me. I'll definitely vote for him!"
Zhang Xia hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "Vote for The Yak."
In the audience, Han Qi was getting anxious. "Is the guest teacher blind?"
One of her colleagues said, "Yeah, I also think that The Clown sang very well!"
Another colleague said, "From a professional point of view, they said that The Clown sang well and the song was good, but there were still too many flaws in his voice. Every line he sang was flawed."
Han Qi said angrily, "But Teacher Clown has caught a cold!"
Her colleague said, "Hai, but this is a competition."
Han Qi was not convinced. She was really not convinced!
But Zhang Ye, who was onstage, did not say a word.
Dong Shanshan said, "Alright, everyone, please pick up your voting devices and vote for the singer you like."
The most crucial part of the voting segment was about to begin!
But what made Han Qi even more disappointed was that The Clown's votes were already lagging behind!
The Yak: 20 votes!
The Clown: 11 votes!
The votes for the two of them kept rising!
The audience was also discussing among themselves.
"Who should I vote for?"
"The Clown, of course!"
"The Clown's song is too touching!"
"But his singing has flaws. The guest teacher said so."
"Yeah, the guest teacher is still a professional."
"I think I should vote for The Yak instead."
"Although The Yak's singing didn't move me that much, it was still very good. At least there weren't too many problems with his singing."
"I don't think The Clown's singing is a flaw. I think it's called art!"
The Yak: 70 votes!
The Clown: 61 votes!
The Yak kept leading!
Han Qi said anxiously, "Increase! Increase! "
Perhaps because he heard her calling, The Clown's votes actually caught up to him bit by bit.
A difference of eight votes.
A difference of five votes.
A difference of one vote.
At the last moment, the voting ended.
The Yak: 217 votes!
The Clown: 219 votes!
The remaining votes were all abstained. More than a dozen votes were not cast at all. This was also the group with the most abstained votes today.
The Clown won!
He won by a narrow margin of two votes!
Han Qi was overjoyed and heaved a long sigh of relief!
We won!
We really won!
At least we don't have to worry about getting eliminated today. As for the first episode's Masked King? Seeing the audience's enthusiasm for The Clown and the judges' emphasis on the professionalism of his voice, Han Qi and the program team staff knew that The Clown was definitely not qualified to compete for the first episode's Masked King. The judges placed so much emphasis on one's voice, and the audience also placed so much emphasis on the flaws in one's voice. Even if The Clown still had the strength to go onstage for his next song, with his current battered voice, it was impossible for him to win!
