The music stopped.
The performance was over.
Suddenly, someone in the audience shouted, "The Clown! The Clown! "
Someone else shouted, "The Clown!"
Han Qi wiped her tears and shouted, "The Clown!"
Amy raised her hands and shouted, "The Clown!"
Xiao Lu shouted, "The Clown!"
Executive Director Hu Fei clenched his fists in the audience!
It was great!
This song was too good!
This person … was too good!
"The Clown!"
"The Clown!"
"The Clown!"
"The Clown!"
The shouts were getting louder and louder!
This scene was really hard to describe with words!
Zhang Ye, who had opened his eyes, was also stunned for a moment. He stood up from the piano and strenuously bowed in the direction of the guests and audience. He did not expect that his song would cause such a huge commotion in the venue. He only wanted to say what he wanted to say, that was all. He did not even expect that anyone would understand what he was saying. This was because this song was not a popular song in Zhang Ye's previous world. Not everyone knew it, and not everyone liked it either. The original version was by Noon Sunshine. The lyrics and music were by Wang Bao, and the accompaniment was piano. Zhang Ye's rendition of the song was based on the original version, with some minor changes made by him. For example, the repetition of "so beautiful, so beautiful" at the end was based on Zhang Ye's own interpretation. Han Hong had also sung this song before, so there were probably more people who had heard it before.
In his previous world, Zhang Ye had liked this song a lot. He was not that handsome back then, nor was he that well-off. Those who knew that he wanted to enter the entertainment industry would advise him to give up on it. It wasn't until he entered the entertainment industry that he felt even more deeply. Everyone liked roses and thought that roses were the most beautiful. But he knew that he was not a rose. He was just a rose that he thought was beautiful, but no one cared about.
So he wanted to change his song. Even if this song was a flop, he still wanted to change it at the last minute.
The crowd was very excited.
They were shouting.
They were shouting.
Some people were even crying.
Thunderous applause rang out. Everyone stood up!
Is this … applause for me?
Are these … tears for me?
When Zhang Ye saw this, he suddenly felt a little touched. He wanted to recite a poem in his previous style, but he knew that he couldn't.
Dong Shanshan went onstage. "Thank you, The Clown, for your performance."
Zhang Ye glanced at her.
Dong Shanshan's smile seemed a little unnatural. "I would like to invite Sunflower in the Starlight and Petal Shower back to the dance …" She stopped there.
Many of the audience members were stunned. They realized that the host was crying.
Petal Shower was the first to go onstage. When she saw Dong Shanshan, she immediately walked up and patted her on the shoulder. Then she gave her a simple hug.
Dong Shanshan smiled as she wiped her eyes. She held the microphone and said, "I'm sorry, I'm still in a bad mood." She looked sideways at Hu Fei, "Director, please don't broadcast this part."
Hu Fei raised his hand and gave her a thumbs up. He did not blame her, but consoled her.
Dong Shanshan said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was unprofessional."
Sunflower in the Starlight also came up to the stage and patted Dong Shanshan's shoulder encouragingly like a senior.
Zhang Xia said, "It's alright, Shanshan. I was crying just now too. I just want to know one thing right now." She stared at the clown mask. "Who are you?"
The Clown did not say a word.
Zhang Xia quickly said, "A person with a high fever and a cold in such a bad condition can still sing such a song, and can even integrate emotions to such an extent. If you say that you're not a professional singer, I definitely won't believe you. But in the entire music industry, I really can't think of anyone who matches up to you!"
Wang Zhuishu said, "Maybe his voice changed after he caught a cold, so we couldn't tell! Or maybe he's just a newcomer? But how could there be such a newcomer! "
The judges were all confused!
Some of them had thought that he was from the film industry, but now they were wavering!
Some of them had thought that he was a big shot in the music industry, but they were also hesitant!
Who was it!
Who the fuck was this person!
The audience was also having this huge question on their minds. They really wanted to know who this person really looked like under the mask!
Dong Shanshan had recovered by now. "Before the final voting begins, I would like to invite the guessing panel of judges to cast your vote. Who do you think will be the Masked King tonight?"
Wang Zhuishu thought for a moment and said, "I think I'll still vote for Petal Shower! She sang so well and her technique is so good. It's practically flawless! "
Petal Shower gave a slight bow.
Chen Yidong said, "I'll vote for Sunflower in the Starlight. Based on his performance in the first two rounds, I think he deserves to be the Masked King of the first round."
Sunflower nodded and said into the microphone, "Thank you, Teacher Chen."
Han Qi clenched her fists in the audience.
Why?
Why not The Clown?
Just what are you guys thinking!
In the past, Han Qi did not really like The Clown. When they first met, The Clown had been teasing her. Everyone thought that he was just a veteran of the music industry who didn't have any tricks up his sleeves. But after getting to know The Clown, Han Qi was completely moved by him. She was very glad that she had been chosen. She was very glad that she was the only point of contact for The Clown in the program team. She was also very honored!
He was a rose!
A flower that was different from everyone else!
The audience in the audience also let out some whispers.
"What!"
"Are those two blind?"
"Of course they'll vote for The Clown!"
"The Clown's singing was so awesome!"
"I think so too. It was really good, indescribably good!"
"You can't say that. It was Sunflower who sang it better!"
"I'll still support Petal Shower."
It was normal to have disagreements, but it was impossible for there to be no disagreements. When it came to music, it was a matter of personal understanding. The same song might not be the same for everyone. Zhang Ye's "Wild Rose" could perhaps only be understood by those who had experienced it themselves.
At this moment, Chen Guang spoke up.
Chen Guang looked at the three masked singers. "From a professional point of view, I would definitely choose Sunflower and Petal Shower. Their voices, singing skills, songs, and appeal are all flawless and impeccable. During the first round, I also chose them based on this standard. Although I really liked The Clown's first song, 'Wolf,' I would like to apologize."
Apologize?
Apologize for what?
The judges were taken aback.
The audience was also taken aback.
Then Chen Guang said loudly, "I keep saying that I'm judging from a professional point of view, but that in itself is unprofessional of me! This choice of mine might be a little capricious and a little impulsive, but I have no choice but to be impulsive right now. If I were to vote, I would definitely, definitely, definitely … only cast my vote for The Clown! There's no why! No need for a why! "
Han Qi was pleasantly surprised!
Someone was supporting him!
Finally, someone was supporting Teacher Clown!
Yao Jiancai also spoke up, "Let me say this first. I don't really understand what it means to be professional or not. I'm not from the music industry, nor have I dabbled in music before." He laughed and said, "If my old comical partner were here, his evaluation would probably be more professional. Well, I can only follow my heart. If I were to choose, I would be the same as Old Chen. I would definitely cast my vote for The Clown without any hesitation! I don't know how his voice is or how well he sings, but I know that 'Wild Rose' has moved me! This song has expressed everything I wanted to say. "
Amy stood up and cleared her throat. "I hereby announce that from now on, I'm a fan of The Clown!" She looked at The Clown and said anxiously, "Who are you? I really, really like you!"
The Clown bowed slightly.
Zhang Xia said, "This time, I'm also voting for The Clown. Singing requires a good voice, technique, and all sorts of other things. But in the end, music is meant to move the listener, and emotions are above all else. Petal Shower and Sunflower did it, but today, for this song, The Clown undoubtedly did it better. His performance in the second song has basically cast aside all the so-called techniques and techniques. That was a very high level performance. That kind of emotional integration and devotion, that kind of disadvantage of having a bad voice, was used to shine brilliantly in the song. This is definitely not something that can be learned easily. This has already surpassed all other techniques!"
The judges had finished speaking.
Dong Shanshan said, "Then let the voting begin. I would like to invite all 500 audience judges to cast your vote. Let us welcome the birth of the first round's Masked King together!"
Han Qi was extremely nervous.
A lot of the program team staff also started discussing.
"I like The Clown!"
"Me too!"
"This person is really going all out!"
"I just wish that the voting would end quickly so that The Clown can get some rest!"
The audience had already picked up their voting devices and were pressing buttons!
On the big screen, the tallies were being tallied in real time!
Petal Shower had 10 votes … 20 votes … 30 votes!
Sunflower's votes were also increasing rapidly … 20 votes … 30 votes!
"It's rising!"
"Ah, Sunflower has gone up!"
"Oh, Petal Shower is in first place!"
"The Clown! The Clown! "
"The Clown is in the lead! He's in the lead! "
"He's caught up!"
The competition was too intense!
The judges were all looking at the screen in shock!
The audience was also staring at the screen without blinking. A lot of them were calling out the codenames of their favorite singers!
The three of them took turns to rise, going back and forth. This was what a lot of people had expected, but no one knew who would be crowned Masked King in the first round. There was too much suspense!
Finally, it was time for the voting!
Dong Shanshan immediately said, "Stop the voting!"
The big screen paused and the number of votes froze. Those who did not cast their votes within the allotted time were considered to have abstained!
At this moment, everyone was looking at the big screen!
Sunflower had turned around!
Petal Shower looked sideways!
Han Qi cast her gaze over nervously!
Only Zhang Ye did not turn around. He stood there very calmly, perhaps only having the strength to force himself to stand there.
The results were out!
The Masked King had been crowned!
In an instant, the entire venue was in an uproar!
"The Clown!"
"The Clown!"
"The Clown!"
"The Clown!"
Han Qi was so excited that tears rolled down her cheeks again. She screamed and hugged a male colleague next to her. "We've won! Teacher has won! Sob sob sob sob! "She was crying and laughing at the same time!
That male colleague of the program team looked embarrassed. "Ahem, congratulations."
