Chapter 19
When Su Xingyao arrived at the waiting area, three instructors in No. 77 had already given him a thumbs-up.
No. 77 is cute in appearance, dresses cutely, and has a fresh and cute singing style.
His singing skills are not top-notch, but his style is unique and he looks very likable. You can tell at first glance that he is the type that the audience will like.
As soon as No. 77 finished singing, several mentors couldn't help but start interacting with him, praising him one by one.
Seeing this, the contestants who had not yet started singing and those in the waiting area could not help but start discussing.
Everyone agreed that No. 77 would most likely become the first player to receive four qualifying cards and advance today.
After all, this is the 77th contestant, and it’s time for someone to successfully advance.
Besides, No. 77’s performance is really good.
As everyone was thinking this, they saw the mentors start giving each other pass cards after interacting with the contestants.
Because Su Xingyao was at the bottom of the stage, she couldn't see the instructors above handing out cards and could only judge the current situation based on the reactions on the scene.
Soon cheers broke out at the scene.
Hearing the cheers, Su Xingyao No. 77 felt happy.
It seems that I have got the pass card.
Just as Su Xingyao was thinking this, she stretched out her hands to applaud No. 77, but the cheers at the scene suddenly stopped.
"Just go up and open it later."
At the same time, the staff handed him the debugged microphone and reminded him how to use it later.
After this interruption, after Su Xingyao politely said "thank you" to the staff, she heard Fu Qingyan speak with regret.
"It's a pity that No. 77 only got three clearance cards in the end."
"Please enter the waiting area to rest for a while and wait for the next round of mentor selection."
Su Xingyao was a little surprised to hear the news.
Among the contestants, the pending number 77 has made many people lose their minds.
No. 77 is not at the top in any aspect at the moment.
But his overall strength is good. Taking every average into account, he is already a very rare comprehensive contestant who can take into account singing skills, personal style and audience appeal.
In the past, such players would normally be able to advance easily in the first round.
As a result, this group of mentors said that they liked No. 77 and praised him highly.
But when the pass cards were finally distributed, one of them was still blocked and not allowed to advance.
The instructors' actions not only affected No. 77's mentality, but also caused many other players to lose their minds and break down their defenses.
After all, if even players like this can't advance successfully, wouldn't it be even more difficult for me?
The program has been recorded continuously for four hours so far.
Staying in such a rigorous competition for four hours is a physical and mental torture for every player who has not yet played.
Especially the instructors' actions are more slick than the others...
Many contestants who have not yet gone on stage are eager to go on stage right away so that they can die early and be reborn.
However, the program crew will not let them off so easily.
As if they thought their mentality wasn't broken enough, after No. 77 left the stage, the assistant director took the microphone and walked onto the stage.
"Let's pause the recording for now. Teachers, please take a break. We will continue the recording in 20 minutes."
The originally steady rhythm was suddenly broken, and everyone was stunned.
Twenty minutes is for the tutors to adjust.
But for the contestants who have not yet gone on stage, they will have to endure another twenty minutes.
But the worst suffered was Su Xingyao, who was originally preparing to go on stage to sing.
No. 79 watched him walk off the stage, feeling a bit sympathetic and a bit gloating.
The performance was about to begin and everything was ready, but the rhythm was suddenly interrupted.
He smiled a little darkly.
In such a tense atmosphere, a carefully prepared performance was suddenly interrupted. Taking a 20-minute break would be of no help at all and would only increase the individual's psychological burden.
He secretly looked at Su Xingyao, very curious whether he would be unable to sing because of this.
The staff came to the backstage and gave everyone water and fruits to help the contestants replenish their energy.
Su Xingyao also got a bottle, but didn't drink it.
He ignored No. 79's dark look, found a corner in the waiting area, closed his eyes and began to rest.
Su Xingyao's mood was not affected by this, but the contestants under the stage couldn't help themselves.
"What kind of deity can be the first to get the pass?"
"Looking at this situation, I don't think we will be able to issue any clearance cards today..."
"I feel like maybe the production crew let it get stuck on purpose. It would be such a suspense."
"Exactly. I feel like it has nothing to do with singing skills. There were a few big names who sang so well before, but they still got stuck."
After everyone had guessed the intentions of the program crew, someone still asked another question unwillingly.
"So will there be someone who can successfully advance today?"
"With such an abnormal promotion rate, it's probably difficult."
"There are more than 20 people behind us, right? What if we see a ghost~"
When a few people were joking, someone suddenly thought of Su Xingyao.
"Hey, the guy in the doll costume and the voice changer hasn't been on yet, right? Is there any chance he can pass?"
Another person laughed disdainfully, "Don't be ridiculous. If a real boss does something fancy, he won't even be able to get on stage."
Twenty minutes is long, but also short.
The contestants under the stage were talking to each other, and soon the assistant director's voice was heard asking everyone to sit down again.
On the stage, Shen Huaixi and Fu Qingyan were singing in unison.
Shen Huaixi turned around and glanced at the draft booth at the back, and said half-jokingly, "I know everyone is anxious, but in fact, I am more anxious than you."
After saying that, he raised the pass card in his hand and said, "I really want to send this card out right now."
Fu Qingyan, who was very familiar with him, also took over his words, "It seems that Teacher Shen can't wait to witness the birth of the first qualified contestant today."
He paused for two seconds and then turned the conversation to the game.
"Then let's look forward to the next contestant's performance."
"Next... please welcome contestant No. 78."
After Fu Qingyan read out the numbers of the contestants who were about to appear in a low voice, the lights on the stage dimmed.
When the lights dimmed, Su Xingyao saw Xiaoli not far away waving to him and whispering to him with her mouth.
"Come on, Teacher Su!!"
Su Xingyao smiled and waved at her.
In a moment, all the lights at the bottom of the stage were turned off.
A spotlight suddenly hit Su Xingyao.
People in the audience cannot see the singer and can only focus their eyes on the center of the stage.
After the dark stage fell silent for a few seconds, the deep and heavy sound of the cello drew out a sad melody.
The sound of the piano is gentle, yet it seems to carry a myriad of sorrows of separation.
As soon as the prelude of the song started, the scene fell silent.
As the increasingly familiar melody echoed in the studio, the contestants below the stage had expressions of disbelief in their eyes.
Some people couldn't help but speak.
[Fuck, it’s “Goodbye Yesterday”!!!]
[Absolutely right, it must be "Goodbye Yesterday"]
[Oh my god, that guy is so awesome, he dared to choose this song for the first stage]
"Goodbye Yesterday".
A song that is notoriously simple to listen to, but deadly to sing.
Even the original singer said that he couldn't reproduce this song 100% perfectly in a live performance.
After hearing the name of the song, many contestants gasped and stared at the stage without blinking, wanting to see who was so stupid as to dare to challenge this song.
Wen Yun and Xu Beizhou, both mentors, were also attracted by this song selection.
One of them buried his head in the music, not looking at anything, just listening attentively. The other stared at the stage, as if trying to spy out something through the lift.
The soothing prelude made the surroundings quiet.
In the silence, an ethereal voice came from the microphone.
【Hey, we said goodbye here yesterday】
The clean and clear voice is like the April breeze, brushing everyone's ears inadvertently.
The gentle low singing was like the fairy music falling from the sky, elegant and graceful, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Everyone at the scene was involuntarily attracted by this cold and mysterious voice.
The singer is like a sad poet, giving life to every note and slowly and melodiously expressing his sorrow with singing.
Gentle song, gentle voice.
As soon as Su Xingyao sang the first sentence, she amazed all the professionals and non-professionals present.
No one expected that it would be just a short break of twenty minutes.
The first contestant to restart the recording unexpectedly has such a beautiful voice.
Mentor Sheng Yan, who had been lacking interest on the stage, couldn't help but sit up straight, supporting his chin with one hand, his eyes flashing with anticipation, his gaze fixed on the lifting stage.
After a brief moment of surprise, the contestants in the audience became excited instantly.
With just one sentence, they could tell the man's strength.
[Fuck, fuck, the real boss is here]
[Finally I've waited for it!! Today's first promotion spot is definitely going to be born! ]
[As soon as he opened his mouth, I wanted to kneel down to him. He was so steady.]
[I'm about to cry. This really makes our contestants proud.]
The contestants were supposed to treat each other as opponents.
But in the face of absolute strength, many people chose to surrender to this beautiful singing.
Even many contestants, because of the abnormal elimination rate of the previous mentors, were proud of this outstanding singer in their eyes, and they all wished that the powerful No. 78 could immediately get four pass cards to boost the morale of all the contestants.
The contestants' seats began to get a little restless.
The instructor's emotions also instantly became excited.
But Su Xingyao, who was sitting in the audience's room, couldn't see any of this.
He was like an elf immersed in his own world, holding the microphone in both hands and performing his work seriously with his eyes closed.
Love has no deadline
Parting is always a pity】
The delicate and gentle voice carries a hint of fragility and loneliness.
The soft humming sound, like crying and complaining, lasted for a long time.
His singing did not deliberately use particularly strong emotions to create an atmosphere.
But the sincerity in the song infected every listener.
Everyone was brought into his emotions, followed his singing into the carefully woven artistic conception, and listened quietly.
Two minutes seemed like a blink of an eye.
I passed by your window
The first light of the morning
Very warm
The last sentence was told in a melodious voice...
After leaving blank space, there is a kind of healing of poetry and distance.
Under the stage, the contestants were holding their breath and their excitement was boiling.
Even my heartbeat quickened with this blank interlude.
This is the best performance among all the singers who have appeared so far.
A powerful person with absolute crushing momentum.
The contestants were completely conquered by the singing and couldn't help but stand up and clapped their hands vigorously to express their respect and love for No. 78.
【WTF? WTF】
[This sound is so beautiful]
[I kneel down to you, this has surpassed the original singer]
[Technology is a level I will never reach in my lifetime, and the tone is what I envy the most in my life. This No. 78 is really amazing]
Amid the applause, some people couldn't wait to see the true face of No. 78.
After all, beautiful singing voices always make people admire the singer very much.
But because the other person was still under the stage, everyone could only imagine what the other person looked like in their minds.
What kind of person would have such a beautiful singing voice?
Many people racked their brains to try to find the figure of this big man, and frantically began to recall who was sitting in this section.
But everyone was already nervous in such a high-intensity competition, and everyone was moving around and sitting in different positions, so many people couldn't remember who 78 was.
[No. 78! ! Who is it? Come out quickly! ! ]
[That... could it be the doll costume? I remember he seemed to be sitting with No. 77 before? ]
One contestant tried to express his guess, but was immediately refuted.
[Why do I remember he was number 80 or so?]
[No way… I can tell from the puppet costume that he can’t sing with that kind of voice. Isn’t he singing with a voice changer?]
[How can someone with such a pure voice dress so fancy?]
Just as everyone was arguing, a countdown began to appear on the stage.
Each contestant has two minutes to sing.
If the contestant's light is not turned off by the mentor midway, he or she can continue singing until the two minutes are completely over.
But at the same time, if no mentor gives a light to a contestant within two minutes, then the contestant will be eliminated by default.
At this time, because everyone was listening so attentively, the mentors on the stage forgot to give Su Xingyao a thumbs-up.
Seeing the ten-second countdown on the screen, the contestants under the stage were almost going crazy.
ten
Nine
eight
seven
There was another commotion in the contestant booth.
Countless contestants stood up and shouted to the mentors, "F*ck the lights, blast the lights!!"
"Teacher Wen, wake up! Stop enjoying yourself with your eyes closed, turn on the light!"
"Sheng Yan!! Husband!!! If you don't light up, No. 78 will be eliminated!!!"
"Xu Beizhou!! What are you still writing!! Press, press!!!"
Although they were not the ones singing, the contestants in the audience were extremely nervous.
But no matter how they shouted, the tutor in the tutor's seat seemed to be deaf and did not respond.
So they could only watch the countdown change from ten to seven.
Then from seven to four...
three
two
Everyone's heart was in their throat.
Then came the anger after the tension.
What the hell are these instructors doing!!!
one
…
The countdown on the screen stopped at the last number.
Accompanied by the sound of lights popping, four big words "Congratulations on your appearance on stage" appeared on the LED background wall.
The whole venue fell silent, and the contestants in the booth felt as if their hearts were about to stop at this moment.
Someone thankfully said, "Fortunately I pressed it..."
But soon everyone discovered that only three mentors had their lights turned on.
At this time, Wen Yun, the only one whose light did not explode, was pressing the button in front of him with his head down and a confused look on his face.
"What's wrong with my light? I clearly pressed it... why isn't it on?"
Fu Qingyan on the stage chuckled and answered him, "Teacher Wen, you may have pressed it a little slowly."
Wen Yun immediately scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, "I'm getting old, I'm getting old. We had agreed to light up together at the last second, and I'm holding everyone back."
After listening to Wen Yun's explanation, the contestants in the audience finally came to their senses.
It seems that these people were not so engrossed in listening that they forgot about it, but had already discussed it...
[So you guys had discussed this secretly a long time ago? I was almost scared to death just now...]
[I told you, how could you bear to eliminate such an awesome singer?]
[If this is broadcast, I will be scolded to death]
[Please, mentors, can you not make the show so scary? My heart almost stopped just now.]
[Hey, no... Is your lift platform broken? Why didn't anyone come up after the lights went off? ]
[Yes, why hasn't No. 78 come up yet? ? ]
Fu Qingyan on the stage seemed to have heard everyone's complaints and made a calm gesture to the contestants.
"Now everyone should be looking forward to No. 78 coming on stage."
As soon as he finished speaking, the contestants below answered in unison, "Of course!!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Qingyan said, "However, the instructors just turned on the lights at the last second. The machine malfunctioned and got stuck."
?????
The players were a little confused.
【What? ? 】
[Stuck? ? ]
The contestants felt like they were going to have another cardiac arrest.
Being angry.
[I just want to see who number 78 is... How can there be so many twists and turns? ]
[Family members, I am going crazy, who would understand me!!!]
Fu Qingyan on the stage saw that the show was almost done, and just before everyone was about to collapse, he smiled and said, "It's just a joke."
The previous wave was the suspense that the director deliberately created.
After all, this program needs to be edited and broadcast later.
The director will not miss anything that can arouse the audience's curiosity.
The contestant who realized belatedly that he had been tricked by the program crew took a deep breath and gave the director a thumbs up in front of the camera.
Okay, very good, the director is really good at this.
The atmosphere was almost over here, and Fu Qingyan began to take control of the situation again.
"Alright everyone, now let's invite contestant No. 78 to the stage."
His words successfully silenced the entire audience.
Along with the sound of drums played by the program team, everyone's eyes turned to the lifting stage in the center of the stage.
The stage is only four meters high, and it only takes a few seconds for the elevator to rise.
But these few seconds seem extremely long to everyone in the studio.
They have been waiting for so long, but the program production team has kept them in suspense.
Now I can finally see the real person!!
Those who had already been attracted by No. 78's voice stared at the stage intently, their hearts pounding.
They counted down silently in their hearts.
Soon, the lift got closer and closer to the stage, and No. 78's head finally appeared a little bit.
However, just when everyone was about to see clearly, the evil lighting technician dimmed all the surrounding lights.
The several spotlights that were originally hitting No. 78 also began to sway around.
The light chase circled for several times, and after everyone had been whetted for a long time, it finally gathered together and hit No. 78 directly.
Now everyone finally saw it clearly.
Boss No. 78 slowly rises from the center of the stage...
It turned out to be the one that everyone thought was the most unlikely...
A person wearing a cat doll headgear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
