Chapter 667, Issue 1, Page 20
On stage, Lin Zhihao finished his performance and opened his arms as if to welcome victory.
The audience gave them a round of applause.
The thunderous applause that resounded throughout the venue gave Lin Zhihao even more confidence in his performance.
Especially when he turned to leave and saw the rising real-time viewership, he was bursting with confidence.
So when he met Chen Yubai backstage again, he still acted like a senior.
Her chin was raised even higher than last time.
Chen Yubai and his two assistants exchanged glances, a tacit understanding forming among them.
—Strange people have appeared again; they probably shouldn't go out tonight.
Lin Zhihao couldn't decipher the expressions on the faces of the people in front of him, but he hated the way they looked at him.
Just as he was about to say something sarcastic, Chen Yubai spoke first:
"I was so grateful for my senior's 'blessing' that my performance went smoothly. I was hoping I could turn things around, and I never expected that what my senior said would come true!"
"Thank you so much, Teacher Lin!"
Lin Zhihao's veins bulged as he heard those few words.
This time he wasn't going to be sarcastic or cryptic, and said bluntly:
"Are you here to show off in front of me?"
"It's normal not to have been beaten up when you first debut, but young people should not be too arrogant. If you crash and burn, not only will you waste the hard-earned opportunity to debut, but you will also disappear from the industry, which would be terrible!"
Chen Yubai smiled: "It seems Teacher Lin doesn't want me to mess up. I'll take Teacher Lin's good wishes to heart..."
He took a few steps forward, brushed past Lin Zhihao, and "soared to great heights."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Lin Zhihao is about to publicly break off relations, so there's no need for him to continue pretending with others.
Watching the three of them walk away, and with Chen Yubai's assistant turning back to give him a mocking smile, Lin Zhihao was practically furious.
He swore, and in the end could only glare fiercely at the group, saying, "We'll see!"
Seeing his impotent rage, Sander shook his head: "He has such a bad temper! And he always thinks he'll win... even though he's already lost once, hasn't he? Doesn't he ever learn?"
Xiao Liu reasonably speculated: "He might have been blinded by jealousy!"
"He must have known all the guests' information before he participated in the show. Compared to the others, Brother Chen, you seem to be the easiest to deal with. He must have thought so too, but..."
As a result, Chen Yubai jumped to second place in the guest rankings.
Isn't that hard to accept?
“Smart people usually back down when things get tough,” Sander said, also in the common language of the planet Earth. “But the production team didn’t give him that chance.”
Yes! Only Clevia and Chen Yubai remain as challengers.
Lin Zhihao didn't want to be eliminated, so he had to target Chen Yubai!
"Then it's still the production team's fault," Xiao Liu concluded.
“It’s also possible that this person was just unlucky,” Chen Yubai said. “Didn’t you hear from the staff that the challengers’ order of appearance is random?”
"Yes, I heard from them that it was drawn from a lottery box."
If the production team didn't tamper with the show, then Lin Zhihao is really just unlucky.
Sander remarked, "No wonder people always say that luck is also a form of ability."
Chen Yubai nodded.
Therefore, Lin Zhihao should not blame himself under any circumstances!
The three of them walked to the stage entrance while talking in hushed tones.
"come on!"
"Relax!"
Two assistants spoke one after the other, watching Chen Yubai walk towards the spotlight.
Chen Yubai adjusted his breathing and mindset.
His slow pace made his expression even more serious.
Few people knew that the song he chose was one he had practiced many times in private, but which Lu Wantang had repeatedly told him was "not satisfactory".
Even when recording this song, in order to achieve the ideal effect, he didn't record it segment by segment, but line by line.
The root cause is his lack of emotional intelligence.
So at this moment, all that was on Chen Yubai's mind was a sad story.
Once he stood still, the three large characters "Snow Flower" appeared before everyone's eyes.
[Does the fact that the song title uses the common language of the planet Earth mean it's not a Korean song?]
[Wasn't the competition supposed to be a Korean song contest? Is Chen Yubai afraid of Lin Zhihao?]
[Are you that insecure? You seemed much more serious after going on stage.]
[He seemed quite relaxed when he appeared before, but now he looks so heavy-hearted.]
[Are you too nervous?]
[So Chen Yubai doesn't dare to use Korean songs anymore?]
[I was actually looking forward to seeing the two of them face off... but it seems Lin Zhihao has a better chance of winning now.]
[Have you guys forgotten that Chen Yubai is still a newcomer?]
This is a competition program, not a contest of who has been in the industry the longest.
……
With just a song title and an expression, the audience has interpreted it in various creative ways.
Even the audience members couldn't help but whisper and murmur among themselves.
Rosalyn, sitting in the guest seats, clearly noticed the comments on the screen.
"Is Chen really too nervous? I don't think so."
"I think he's more like he's about to unleash a powerful move."
"I'm even more excited now."
They all lowered their voices, making them almost inaudible at the scene, but they were recorded in the live broadcast of the program.
Chen Yubai seemed oblivious, lost in thought.
On the stage, snowflakes drifted down.
Music suddenly rang out.
All the audience members fell silent.
The guests did not exchange any more words.
The mournful and sorrowful piano music seemed to draw people into a long story.
Chen Yubai picked up the microphone and began to sing:
'??? ??? ???? ???'
'As the shadow grew longer without us even noticing'
'Walking with you in the darkest night'
'Holding hands / Forever'
'I can't help but cry whenever I'm with you'
The wind is getting colder and colder / Winter is getting closer and closer.
Gradually, on this road/on this path/the season to say goodbye to you has arrived.
As soon as he opened his mouth, all those who were shouting that Chen Yubai was afraid of Lin Zhihao and dared not respond with a Korean song fell silent.
More people, however, focused their attention on the song itself.
The gentle, murmured singing voice was infinitely heavier than the previous song.
The endless sadness intertwined within, accompanied by a beautiful and moving melody, goes straight to the heart.
'?? ??? ???? ????'
'Looking at this year's first snow now'
'In this moment we're together, I want to give you everything I have.'
'I embrace you with this feeling'
I am not a weak person.
'??? ?? ????? ?? ??? ??????'
'I love you like this / That's all my heart has to say.'
Chen Yubai's singing is getting better and better.
At this moment, he was completely immersed in the story that Lu Wantang had told him.
A wave of sadness welled up from within.
Music is a language in itself.
When a singer expresses all their emotions, it is destined to be understood and comprehended by the vast majority of people, who will then be moved by those emotions.
The audience is like that.
The guests are like that.
The same applies to the review process.
Even Lu Wantang, who was surprised that Chen Yubai had chosen this song in the VIP room, was equally taken aback.
She didn't expect that Chen Yubai was also a "competition type". He could never sing a song with enough emotion in private, but he would suddenly understand it as soon as he went on stage!
