Chapter 88: The entire internet was stunned!
Chapter 88: The entire internet was stunned!
Chapter 90: The entire internet was stunned!
There were over a thousand people in the audience.
More than 200 million netizens watched the live stream online at the same time.
At this moment, I was completely dumbfounded.
Who is this guy?
That's incredibly sharp of a statement!
What should I do if I like him so much?
Why don't you go take a look at his book? I can't contain my curiosity!
Everyone made guesses, thinking of every Chinese-language singer that came to mind.
The first person that comes to mind is Li Shen. This singer's speaking style has a bit of the charm of Li Gou.
However, Li Shen revealed this on Weibo a few days ago, along with a dog emoji.
When Li Hangliang stepped onto the stage and everyone saw the song information, they realized what Li Shen's Weibo post, "I will participate," meant.
There is a confidentiality agreement for "The King of Singers".
No wonder Li Shen broke the confidentiality agreement and revealed it himself; it turns out he participated in the show as a behind-the-scenes producer!
The audience all understood, and then they were the first to cross out Li Shen's name.
So, which singers in the Chinese entertainment industry are still straightforward and unafraid of offending people?
Na Ying? But she's a woman!
Blackie?
Yes, Hei Xiaohei has this style; I'll add him to my list of key sarcastic singers.
Or perhaps it's a rapper?
Rappers love to diss people!
When audiences think of rappers, the first person that comes to mind is Liang Song.
After all, Liang Song and Li Shen spent two weeks together on "Goodbye Lovers," so it's not impossible for him to have picked up a few tricks from what he saw and heard.
Moreover, he witnessed the entire process of Li Shen's sudden rise to fame. Could he also be tempted to imitate her?
But everyone has heard his songs. Can a rapper sing a song like "Me"?
The audience analyzed it again and again, but still found themselves completely confused.
Even if their personalities match, these potentially involved singers with sharp tongues are unlikely to reach the singing level of singers on stage in the public's impression.
The more people analyzed it, the more mysterious it seemed; the more mysterious it was, the more they wanted to uncover it!
Many viewers picked up their phones and started searching for "Living with a Female Celebrity".
In the studio.
Ding Dasheng's face darkened.
He has been criticized by singers on various music variety shows before, but he has never been as embarrassed as he just now.
Wang Fei: "Excuse me, on which platform can we read your book, 'Living with a Female Celebrity'?"
"All platforms."
Wang Fei: Okay, I'll watch it after the show.
"After the show?" Xue Ziqian held up his phone. "I'm watching it now, and it's already got 5000 favorites."
Wang Fei said, "Finally, I'd like to say that you performed incredibly well in 'Living with a Female Celebrity.' To sum it up in one sentence, well—"
Da Zhangwei: "A walking CD."
"Yes." Wang Fei nodded in agreement.
Stability is Li Shen's greatest strength in his musical talent.
His personality is also like that; he is very steady.
The reason is simple: with an endless stream of classic works to support him, Li Shen has a commanding perspective on the entire Chinese-language literary scene today.
This isn't arrogance; it's pure confidence.
It's like if you only have 1000 yuan in your account, you're worried that others will order expensive dishes when you treat them to a meal.
But if you have a million dollars lying coldly in your bank account, you won't have any trouble paying the bill no matter how much you treat others. Because you're in control and have no fear of the unknown.
Li Shen was very relaxed when he stepped onto this stage.
Wang Fei: "Next, we will reveal the online support rate for the topic 'Living with a Female Celebrity'."
On the large screen on the stage, lines of text slowly appeared:
Singer: [The Days of Living with a Female Celebrity];
Online approval rating: 92%;
Rank: 1st;
Amidst enthusiastic applause from the audience, Li Shen walked to the throne of the King of Singers.
66 slowly stood up: "Congratulations! Your collection has now surpassed 10,000."
"Have you saved it?"
I won't tell you.
66, trailing her long dress, slowly walked backstage.
At this moment, the final rankings of the eight singers were displayed on the big screen.
First: "Living with a female celebrity", with a 92% approval rating.
Second: [66], with a support rate of 91%.
Third: [Pointy-eared bunny sister], with a 90% approval rating.
Fourth: [The Next Dawn], with an approval rating of 87%.
Fifth: [A hearty laugh and everyone collapses], with 75% approval rating.
Sixth: [Don't always imitate a cat's meow], with a support rate of 72%.
Seventh: [Stop injustice when you see it], with a support rate of 69%.
Eighth: [Smoking, drinking, and getting perms], with a support rate of 61%.
Backstage, common lounge.
The masked singers watched the rankings on TV and started discussing among themselves.
Of these eight singers, only Li Shen truly delivered a perfect performance.
【Pointy-Eared Rabbit Sister】sang extremely well, but minor flaws may fool the general public, but they cannot escape the ears of musicians.
The reason why [66] was able to rank second, slightly ahead of [Pointy-Eared Rabbit Sister], is not only because of its own good performance and strong song story, but also because of the song choice of [Pointy-Eared Rabbit Sister].
【Pointy-Eared Rabbit Sister】's original song "Mountain Range" is a song that celebrates the great power's engineering projects conquering nature. It has a very high style, and her high notes are even higher!
However, netizens found it difficult to empathize with the song. Apart from exclaiming that the singer's high notes were amazing, they didn't feel any emotional connection.
Moreover, in recent years, the public's aesthetic preferences have shifted away from appreciating high notes as much.
Therefore, [66] used the empathy advantage of "Lost Beauty" to slightly outmaneuver her.
Next came fourth place with "The Next Dawn," a song that took a different approach. His emotional and roaring singing style brought him the best result in theory.
The problem is with the 5th to 8th place rankings.
The fifth-ranked singer uses a wailing, howling style; who knows why he brought this original song? His singing skills are clearly very high, but he just keeps playing around with all sorts of fancy tricks.
The sixth-place finisher was so nervous that his voice trembled like the audience's heartbeats.
The 7th place winner had a mediocre voice and a mediocre song.
As for the 8th place winner, [Smoking, Drinking, and Getting a Perm], he performed a rock song called "Hot Words," but he rushed the beat, sang off-key, mispronounced words, failed to hit the high notes, and even lost his voice!
His rendition of "Hot Words" turned into a major train wreck!
The 200 million online viewers were all confused.
The show's producers advertised that three-quarters of the contestants were top-tier singers. Is that all?
[Smoking, drinking, getting a perm, and what kind of rubbish is he singing?]
[Most of them are top-tier singers, so why have so many of them had their careers ruined?]
Other music variety shows use auto-tuning and reverb. Without auto-tuning, many singers are actually just average!
】
[Here comes the highlight of this show: a massive demystification session!]
[Top-tier singers falling from grace and ending up in KTV rooms – this unique spectacle shows the genius behind this idea.]
[Smoking, drinking, and getting a perm] He hugged his shoulders, looked at the big screen, and laughed awkwardly: "Haha, I've been eliminated at the bottom?"
【Pointy-Eared Bunny Sister】: "It seems the audience's tastes are a little different from what I expected. Right, Liangzi?"
[The Next Dawn]: "But it's pretty much what Li Shen thought."
[Smoking, drinking, and getting a perm]: "Next time, you guys need to bring something substantial to the show. [Living with a female celebrity] is really something."
Everyone was chatting when [66] pushed the door open and came in.
"[66], you just had some contact with [The Days of Living with a Female Celebrity], can you tell who he is?"
""
[66] He shook his star-patterned helmet: "I don't know."
The masked singers, looking at the "Days of Living with a Female Celebrity" on the throne of the King of Singers on the big screen, were collectively filled with enormous doubt.
"A truly powerful vocalist!"
"Moreover, she has an excellent mindset and stable emotions!"
"Not only is he emotionally stable, but he's also good at making others unstable."
"Who is this?"
[66] Suggestion: "Why don't you look for clues in his book, 'The Days of Living with a Female Celebrity'?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. That makes sense!
Pop diva Faye Wong took to the stage to begin the reveal segment: "First, we'll be conducting the bottom-ranked elimination. Unfortunately, the eighth-ranked [smoking, drinking, and getting a perm] has to leave this stage—"
[Smoking, drinking, and getting a perm] After walking onto the stage and waving to the audience, he slowly took off his helmet with the help of the staff.
The entire internet was in an uproar!
[Holy crap, Wang Feng?]
I knew it was him all along!
[Wang Feng has been struggling with live performances in recent years!]
[Rock stars eliminated last, this show is going to be a huge hit!]
Wang Feng raised the rock and roll hand gesture: "Although I'm eliminated, rock and roll will never die!"
Amid applause, Wang Feng stepped down from the stage.
As he passed the throne of the King of Singers, Wang Feng approached [The Days of Living with a Female Celebrity], pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, and carefully observed Li Shen.
"Hey bro, are we familiar with each other?"
Li Shen shook his head: "I don't know him."
Don't you recognize me?
Wang Feng understood; the other party was lying.
There are very few musicians in China who excel in both singing and songwriting. Is there anyone who doesn't know Wang Feng?
But who is he?
Wang Feng stared at Li Shen for a moment, then left with a head full of question marks.
The next segment, "Guess the Singer," will reveal the final answer.
The setup for this segment is as follows: viewers enter their guesses for the singer in the voting area of the live stream interface, with each ID allowed only one vote. Ultimately, if name A receives the most votes, then A becomes the collective answer from the viewers.
If the masked singer is indeed A, and netizens guessed correctly, A will reveal their identity.
In this segment, Li Hangliang was the only one who was correctly guessed, with the name "Li Hangliang" receiving 93% of the votes.
That means out of every 100 people who voted, 93 people thought that Li Hangliang would be the next star to emerge, which was a foregone conclusion.
Li Hangliang went on stage, revealed his face, and then bowed deeply to the audience.
He had no regrets about this stage, because he knew his own limitations and his insurmountable shortcomings.
Moreover, while an emotionally driven singing style might be novel once or twice, constantly roaring will inevitably alienate the audience.
It's one thing to confide your personal troubles once on a show, but if you do it every single episode, the audience will be furious with you.
This was what Li Shen had explained to him, and he advised him to quit while he was ahead.
Li Hangliang completely agreed with Li Shen's words.
Although he was older than Li Shen, he knew that Li Shen was clearly more mature and had a deeper understanding of human nature.
On stage, Wang Fei said, "Congratulations to 'Living with a Female Celebrity' for becoming the winner of the first episode. Two talented singers will be joining the competition in the next episode!"
What kind of works will the seven masked singers bring in the next episode? Faced with the challenge from the seven masked singers for the title of King of Singers, can "Living with a Female Celebrity" defend his throne as the King of Singers?
We'll wait and see!
Now, please welcome tonight's All-Star Singer to walk across the Avenue of Stars!
See you next time!
A passageway runs from the center of the stage, through the audience seating, and directly to the hall exit.
Li Shen walked along the passageway, the colorful lights falling on him, giving his ancient scholar attire a dazzling appearance.
Li Shen walked confidently toward the exit. The audience on both sides applauded while scrutinizing him with furrowed brows. But no matter how they tried to guess, they couldn't believe that Li Shen had mysteriously disappeared from the studio and the live broadcast room. The only reliable clue left behind was the book "Living with a Female Celebrity".
Book?
You need to read the book!
Books are the only way to unveil the mystery of the King of Singers!
