Chapter 106 Fierce Competition
Chapter 108 Fierce Competition
Over the past week, the masked singers have all been working intensively to prepare their competition songs.
Facing this show, "The King of Singers," every singer is under immense pressure.
Masked, concealing their identities, stripped of their star power and fan support, relying solely on their work, and with their fate entirely in the hands of netizens, the rules of this show have left singers worried and uneasy.
Some singers care a lot about their reputation; they have an idol image to maintain and can't afford to lose.
Even more surprisingly, one of the singers in the second stage found an excuse to break his contract and withdraw.
The production team didn't let it slide either, posting a Weibo message that subtly mocked the singer:
We understand the singer's withdrawal from the competition. At the same time, we hope that talented singers will actively apply for the vacant spots. This is a music variety show where "if you have the guts, come on!"
Sunday.
The studio.
【The Pointy-Eared Bunny Sister】is rehearsing.
In this performance, she presented a song called "As You Wish," a song wishing happiness and well-being to all ordinary people in the world.
The song has a grand arrangement and a great theme, making it especially suitable for performance on the Spring Festival Gala for the entire nation.
【Pointy-eared bunny sister】sang while familiarizing herself with stage movements and coordinating with the dancers.
The production standards for this episode have been upgraded once again, with a more dazzling stage and the introduction of a dance troupe as backup dancers.
The production team is trying to create a more stunning audio-visual feast for the audience.
With the show's unexpectedly explosive popularity, the production team is striving to refine the program even further.
The song "As You Wish" was rehearsed four times in a row, and music director Liang Bo nodded in satisfaction.
I have to say, it has to be the national team. [Rabbit Sister] has such a great voice and such consistent skill.
There are very few people in the entire country who can easily master both folk and bel canto singing styles and reach the level of a master singer.
Uncle Liang roughly guessed who it was. He smiled and said, "This teacher is very good, that's enough. Please go back to the lounge to rest."
Tan Jing had only taken a few steps when she suddenly asked herself a few questions.
What place did you get in the last episode?
What place did you get in the first episode?
You can't even rank first, and you can't even catch up to second place?
As a famous singer, wouldn't it be embarrassing if you were eliminated at the bottom?
She's a singer, mistaken!
And during that time when he was living with a female celebrity, he actually won the title of King of Singers for two consecutive years!
She is a singer, but she couldn't beat a pop singer in two consecutive episodes.
She was resentful.
Her competitive spirit could no longer be contained at this moment.
She suddenly stopped and turned around to ask, "Uncle Liang, there's a fundamental difference in the auditory experience between watching the live broadcast backstage and being there in person like you."
So, I'd like to ask, from your perspective on the show, did you think his performance in the first two episodes of "Living with a Female Celebrity" was flawed?
Uncle Liang thought about it seriously: "His live performance is as stable as a CD, with no flaws. If we were to nitpick, there is one flaw, his biggest flaw is..." Tan Jing: "What?"
"Our musicians are exhausted; the song he brought this time is a bit long, haha!"
Tan Jing:
'
'
Tan Jing found Uncle Liang's jokes not funny at all; instead, they made her even more nervous!
Tan Jing suddenly walked back onto the stage: "Thank you everyone, I'd like to rehearse one more time!!"
5 minute later.
Tan Jing: "Excuse me, everyone, I'd like to do it one more time!"
In other music variety shows, when folk or bel canto singers participate, they often deliver a crushing blow to pop singers.
But she was firmly held down to third place by two pop singers, and she was third in both episodes!
Tan Jing is determined to defend her glory as a singer!
While 【Pointy-Eared Rabbit Sister】 was practicing her singing, Li Shen also arrived at the Shanghai Broadcasting and Television Center.
After getting out of the car, he headed towards the elevator. His program manager, Wang Xiaomei, ran over excitedly and exclaimed, "Mr. Ikkyu, what a wonderful day!"
"His outfit is so cool!"
Li Shen is still dressed as a scholar today, but his clothes are specially designed by the group; they hired a famous designer to tailor them for him.
"Don't call me Ikkyu, please call me Li Fei."
Wang Xiaomei asked in confusion, "Why has it changed again?"
"Because of the foreign monk."
Wang Xiaomei chimed in, "Is it good for chanting scriptures?"
"No, the monks from out of town are not used to the local environment."
Wang Xiaomei couldn't understand, but she kept trying to get closer to Li Shen, hoping to appear in the same frame as him more often and gain more attention from netizens.
"Water, soil, you're not used to it?! I'm convinced! I'm convinced by [the Santa Claus who gave me a kiss]!"
Li Shen turned around and saw Santa Claus walking quickly towards him, followed by a female masked singer.
After watching "Female Star," Deng Ziqi had only one feeling: she couldn't write it.
She greatly admires female celebrities when it comes to writing books; they really have talent!
The female masked singer accompanying Santa Claus is dressed in a large dress and a beautiful mask; her entire outfit is very glamorous.
Santa Claus arrived first: "I devoured your book in one go, it's amazing!"
Li Shen pointed at the camera and joked, "Tell me, how exciting was it!"
[Santa Claus] pulled over the replacement female singer: "It was so amazing, can you guess her name?"
"What's your name?"
The replacement singer extended his hand to Li Shen: "Hello, Teacher Li Fei, my name is [The Ugly Duckling Under the Starlight]."
Li Shen was taken aback, shook hands, and said, "Thank you."
【The Ugly Duckling】: "I really love the book 'The Female Star', and I also quite like the fairy tale 'The Ugly Duckling' in it. Actually, my growth experience can also be considered as the ugly duckling turning into a swan."
So, I'm your little fangirl!
Whether it's songs or novels, I'm a fan!
Li Shen clasped his hands together and said again, "Thank you."
Li Shen wasn't sure if "Ugly Duckling" was a genuine fan or just trying to ride the wave of popularity.
While riding the elevator, the Ugly Duckling squinted at Santa Claus and confidently said, "I know who you are."
Santa Claus panicked and said, "You'd better shut up."
The Ugly Duckling: "You'll thank me tonight, remember that!"
Li Shen took the elevator alone to the lounge and waited for half an hour before it was his turn to rehearse.
When he entered the rehearsal hall, he found that "Pointy-Eared Rabbit Sister" was still standing on the stage.
The little rabbit with pointed ears looked at Uncle Liang and said, "How about we do it again?"
Liang Bo shook his head: "Really, there's no need. This teacher is already perfect! You've rehearsed nine times already, there's definitely no problem."
"Okay, thank you everyone for your hard work, goodbye."
The backup dancers finally breathed a sigh of relief; they were so tired they could barely move their legs.
This female singer is really working incredibly hard!
[Rabbit Sister] and Li Shen brushed past each other, nodded to each other, and then quickly left the studio.
As she stepped into the corridor, she clenched her fist tightly: "Go for it!"
She's going to launch a fierce attack on this week's champion singer!
After all eight singers finished rehearsing, the live broadcast of the third episode of "The King of Singers" officially began at 7 p.m.
The stage lights blazed brilliantly.
The audience stood up and cheered.
Pop diva Wang Fei stepped onto the stage with a beaming smile: "Welcome everyone to 'The King of Singers,' sponsored by Origin Chinese Website. For pure love stories, visit Origin Chinese Website."
This program is sponsored by Vivi mobile phones, Xiaofeng electric vehicles, and Weile milk.
The audience was shocked. Did this show have a title sponsor?
And what's more, the title sponsor is a novel website?
It has to be said that Origin.com has really nailed the hype surrounding "Living with a Female Celebrity".
Meanwhile, Gu Yue, the editor-in-chief of Qidian Chinese Network, was also gripping the cup in his hand tightly.
As the leading Chinese online novel website, "Female Star" initially became popular on Qidian.com, but unexpectedly benefited its competitor, Origin.com.
Gu Yue stared longingly at the live stream screen, watching the singer sitting on the throne of the King of Singers, "The Days of Living with a Female Celebrity".
He looked at Li Shen as if he were looking at a duck!
Can a cooked duck still fly?
But he just flew away!
Initially, "Female Star" broke 10 favorites on Qidian Chinese website, while other websites only had a maximum of more than 1 favorites.
However, since unsigned works do not have a tipping function, this has forced a bunch of wealthy patrons to their competitors.
Although the website launched the "Unsigned Works Reward Function" on the third day, it was too late.
Gu Yue gripped the cup tightly, feeling like she had missed out on a fortune.
Because of the huge losses caused by "Female Star", he was scolded countless times by his superiors, and the operations team suffered even more!
The entire operations department, after deducting a portion of its performance bonus.
The mechanism for recommending unsigned new books is being officially reformed.
The rankings from the previous episode were displayed on the large screen on stage:
Singer King: "The Days of Living with a Female Celebrity," with a 93% approval rating;
Second place: [66], with a support rate of 91%;
Tied for third: 【Pointy-Eared Rabbit Sister】 and 【I Am Prometheus】, 90%;
Fifth place: [The Santa Claus who gave me a kiss], 89%;
Sixth place: [A hearty laugh and everyone collapses], 76%;
7th place: [Don't always imitate a cat's meow], 73%;
This episode's replacement singer: [The Ugly Duckling in Starlight's Pen].
When the live stream camera focused on Santa Claus, he lowered his head slightly.
She ranked fifth out of eight singers!
She's a superstar with amazing lung capacity!
She's going all out for this episode!
So, she used the song that was originally planned for the finals earlier this time!
Firstly, she wanted to compete for rankings and honors; secondly, she felt she couldn't stay on this stage for much longer.
Some viewers have already guessed her identity.
In the previous episode, during the segment where netizens guessed the singer, the second most popular answer was G.E.M. (Gloria Tang).
She felt that she might be voted out by netizens in this episode and would have to leave without revealing her identity.
Therefore, she used the trump card song from the finals in this episode in advance. Even if she was voted out by the audience and had to leave, she wanted to prove that she had the strength to be the king of singers before she left!
If she leaves as the winner of this season's singing competition, then she'll have redeemed herself, which is pretty cool!
Thinking of this, Deng Ziqi's spirits lifted!
Let's give it our all!!
In this episode, the singers are all eyeing the title of "King of Singers"!
This is destined to be a fierce competition!
Because the third episode is also the qualifying round for the first stage of the program.
The singer with the highest average approval rating advances directly to the semi-finals. The other masked singers will enter the second stage of the competition.
When Wang Fei announced that this round was a qualifying round, close-up shots were given to all the singers in turn.
[Sister Rabbit] still sits very gracefully;
[Learning to Meow] was pacing back and forth anxiously, just like before. Last time, he came in last. He was very worried.
Santa Claus craned his neck, ready to go all in.
As for [66] ————
She was lounging lazily on the sofa, and when the close-up shot cut to her, she let out a long, casual yawn.
Netizens immediately burst into laughter:
[A wriggling lucky star, haha!]
Her laid-back style is reminiscent of Mo Wenwei's songs!
Could she be Mo Wenwei?
Yes, that's possible!
[No matter who she is, she is first and foremost the one and only healing love song queen in my heart!]
The two original songs, "Lost Beauty" and "A Little Happiness," brought [66] immense popularity.
During the drawing process, the person who drew number 1 was [Rabbit Sister].
On the right side of the stage, behind the throne of the King of Singers, the content is being updated on a separate screen.
[King of Singers]: [The Days of Living with a Female Celebrity];
Overall online support rate: 93%;
[Challenger]: [Pointy-Eared Bunny Sister];
[Overall Support Rate]:
The camera gave singer Li Shen a close-up for 10 seconds.
Li Shen sat calmly on his throne, watching Rabbit Sister take the stage, anticipating her wonderful performance.
For other people, it might be better to hope that their competitors underperform; that's human nature.
However, Li Shen especially hopes that all the masked singers can show their best abilities. No matter who brings a stunning performance to the stage, Li Shen will be excited for them.
Just like a doctoral student entering a primary school, he will not feel jealous because the primary school students can solve calculus; on the contrary, he will be pleasantly surprised.
When a person is highly knowledgeable, especially when they are ahead of their time, their overall perspective will be elevated without them even realizing it.
【Rabbit Sister】 glanced at Li Shen on the throne of the King of Singers, and then she stepped onto the stage.
The moment she picked up the microphone, it sensitively picked up the sound of her swallowing.
Wang Fei frowned: How could a singer like Tan Jing be nervous?
Tan Jing has a lot of stage experience. After taking a few deep breaths and adjusting her mindset, she signaled to the band that they could start.
She sang "As You Wish" perfectly.
Moreover, the song conveys a spirit of universal love and wishes for a better world.
The audience support rate started very high, at 79%, 82%, and 85% —
As the last note of the song faded away, the online approval rating finally settled at 91%.
A line of text appeared on the big screen:
[Pointy-Eared Bunny Sister] failed the challenge!
【Rabbit Sister】 stared blankly at the glaring 91% on the big screen.
She gave it her all, challenged the King of Singers, but failed again?
She couldn't hold onto her honor as a singer!
She looked at the female singer, and saw that the female singer had excitedly stood up, clapped vigorously at her, and then gave her a thumbs-up.
I failed the challenge, what's the meaning of your clapping and thumbs-up?
Oh, what a provocation!
You little brat—
I'll wait until you take off your mask to see who this awesome musician really is.
Tan Jing walked to the side of the stage, sat down in the seat for the strongest challenger, and then took out her phone, eagerly trying to find connections to ask for a song.
