At night, the live broadcast of the second season of "Night of Singers" finally began.
Xiao Yunhai walked into the backstage hall and looked at the small white ball in the glass box. He exclaimed, "It's not easy. I've been waiting for the stars and the moon. Finally, it's my turn to draw. "
Yao Na, who shared the same fate as him, smiled and said, "That's right."
Elliot chuckled and said, "The two of you have worked so hard to wait for this day. Please don't draw first or second."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard that.
Xiao Yunhai rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. Elliot, if I really draw the first two, I'll definitely switch with you. That's your punishment for saying that."
Elliot smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you draw the first two, I'll switch with you. I don't believe that your luck will be that bad. "
At this moment, Director Wang Bensheng walked in and said, "Time is limited. Everyone can draw now."
Xiao Yunhai said, "I'll be the first. I must draw first for Elliot."
Xiao Yunhai randomly picked a small white ball and squeezed it with both hands. A small red sign was revealed inside. On it was a large Arabic number 1.
Elliot's eyes almost popped out. He exclaimed, "No way."
Everyone also had a look of disbelief.
Wang Bensheng smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao's luck doesn't seem to be that good. He's actually the first to sing. "
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and stuffed the small red sign into Elliot's hand. He said, "Director Wang, you've got it wrong. He should be the first to sing. Next is my number. Elliot, what do you think? "
Elliot smiled bitterly and said, "Yes. You can draw it for yourself now. I hope it's number 2. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "How is that possible?"
Xiao Yunhai didn't even look at it. He grabbed one and opened it. Suddenly, he was dumbfounded.
Everyone saw the number on it and instantly burst into laughter. The small sign was actually number 2.
Elliot laughed so hard that tears almost came out of his eyes. He said, "Xiao, which one are you going to choose?"
Xiao Yunhai sighed deeply and said, "Elliot, you let me know what it means to jinx things. Sigh, I remember to wash my hands today. Why is it so smelly? Is the production team purposely messing with me? "
Wang Bensheng smiled. "We don't have that ability yet."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Elliot, tell me, do you want to be first or second? I leave the choice to you. "
Elliot said, "Of course it's number one. This is a good sign. I might even be able to win the championship. "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "I swear that I will never go for prizes in the future."
Amidst the laughter, the other singers also grabbed their number tags.
Wang Bensheng noted down the order of appearance of the singers and said, "Everyone should be familiar with the rules of the competition. I will repeat them here. The first round will be an elimination round. The 14 singers and their guest partners will perform a song together. Based on the results, only six singers will be selected to participate in the second round of the finals. Please note that the order of appearance for the second round will be based on the number of votes received in the first round from the lowest to the highest. The Masked King will be chosen based on the total results of the two rounds. The first round will account for 30% of the votes, while the second round will account for 70% of the votes. Teachers, you may return to your rooms to prepare now. "
The lot drawing process from earlier had been broadcasted live, and the fans were leaving comments online.
"I'm dying of laughter. Yun Huang is so unlucky."
"Yeah. Yun Huang's luck is really bad. He actually got first and second place consecutively. "
"Elliot has suffered an unexpected calamity."
"There's nothing he can do about it. Who asked him to jinx things?"
"Both of them have the ability to become the Masked King. I hope there won't be any problems because of the order of appearance."
At 8 PM sharp, the finals of Night of Singers finally began.
This time, the host was no longer a temporary manager. Instead, it was decided that the two main hosts of Jiangsu Television, Li Guangcheng and Zheng Dandan, would be the co-hosts.
Li Guangcheng said, "Dandan, let me ask you a question. Among the 14 contestants, who do you like the most? Who do you think is most likely to win the title of Masked King? "
Zheng Dandan smiled and said, "My idol is Yun Huang. A lot of people know that, so there's nothing to hide. As for who will stand out and become the Masked King, I don't dare to say. After all, everyone's ability is there for all to see. Even they themselves might not be sure if they can win. "
Li Guangcheng said, "That's right. Since the first round, Night of Singers has entered the climax of the competition. It has attracted countless top singers from all over the world to participate. As of today, we have finally decided on the 14 contestants who have a chance to compete for the Masked King title.
"But what I want to say is that the singers who didn't participate in today's competition are also the most outstanding. What Mr. Xiao said was right. There were too many coincidences in this competition. Therefore, I suggest that we give a round of applause to the singers who have fought hard on this stage. Thank them for bringing us joy with their heavenly voices. "
Clap clap clap!
The whole venue was filled with enthusiastic applause and cheers.
Zheng Dandan said, "Alright, now our competition officially begins. The first singer to go on stage is America's Heavenly King Elliot. You might not know this, but the reason he was the first to go on stage was entirely because of his own actions. When the lots were being drawn, Elliot didn't believe that Mr. Xiao would get the first two contestants, so he made a bet. He said that if Mr. Xiao got the first or second contestant, he would agree to exchange places with him. Now everyone knows the result. "
"Pfft."
"Hahaha."
"This Elliot is so unlucky."
The fans at the venue all laughed.
Zheng Dandan smiled and said, "Let's give a round of applause. Let's welcome Elliot and his backup singer to perform 'Somebody Like You.'"
Under the flashing lights, Elliot and a tall black man walked out from both sides of the moon gate.
When the fans saw his face, they all exclaimed.
"Oh, my God, it's David Hume."
"Elliot actually managed to invite David, the representative of American rap music. That's amazing."
"The combination of Elliot and David is really something to look forward to."
Elliot and David hugged each other and nodded at the same time. The music started.
“Iheardthatyousettleddown，
.....”
The song started with a long rap by David, and it was very fast. In half a minute, he said hundreds of words. It was really extraordinary, and it caused a round of applause.
When the rap ended, Elliot's gentle voice sounded. It was very slow and full of emotion, forming a sharp contrast with David.
Five minutes later, with the last note of the song, the performance of the two ended.
The audience was not stingy with their applause and screams, and it rang out crazily.
Jesse Barkley clapped and nodded repeatedly. "Jed, this is your masterpiece, right?"
Jed smiled and said, "That's right. What do you think? "
Barkley said, "Very good. The cooperation between the two is almost perfect. There shouldn't be a problem for them to enter the second round. "
Jed smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard to say. We think it's good, but it doesn't mean that the 3,000 fans think it's good too. If they can't accept this format, then we'll be in big trouble. This can be considered a risk for us. "
Elliot and David left the stage amidst the warm applause of the crowd.
Li Guangcheng appeared in front of everyone again and said, "If I ask you what's your favorite song genre? There might be a lot of answers, including rock, love songs, rap, jazz, folk songs, and so on. If you ask me, I'll say Hua Xia. "
"When it comes to Hua Xia, we can't not mention Mr. Xiao Yunhai, who created this genre of songs. The first time he became famous was with the song 'Preface to the Orchid Pavilion.' When I heard this song, it was like hearing the sound of nature."
"Mr. Xiao's luck is very good today. He got first place in the first draw, and second place in the second draw. If he were to win the lottery, I think he should have no problem winning the first prize."
"Pfft."
"Hahaha."
"No way, he's so unlucky."
"Yun Huang's luck is really bad."
Li Guangcheng continued, "Tonight, he's going to perform a Hua Xia song called 'A Thousand Miles Away.' Please enjoy."
