However, what the speaker meant no harm was taken seriously, and the live stream chat instantly erupted in discussion.
"Is Xiao Qingfeng so arrogant because he paid someone to cover it up so he dares to say such things?"
"I think it's possible, otherwise where would they get such confidence!"
"They might have colluded with the production team; this competition is so fake!"
"No way, Xiao Qingfeng doesn't seem like that kind of person."
"Hmph, you can know a person's face but not their heart. There might be some shady dealings behind their back."
"I knew this ranking was off; there was something fishy going on!"
"There's absolutely no way there's anything fishy going on. If there were, he wouldn't say it out loud in public. It's probably just a prank by Xiao Qingfeng, or he's crazy!"
The audience members who hadn't yet left the stage were also whispering and discussing among themselves.
"What's going on with Xiao Qingfeng? Did he really get his ranking by paying money?"
"No way, maybe he was just joking."
"What a joke! Who would joke like that? I bet there's something wrong with it."
"Maybe it's a publicity stunt orchestrated by the production team."
"If there really is something fishy going on, that would be so unfair to the other singers."
"I used to like Xiao Qingfeng quite a bit, but now I feel a little disappointed."
Just then, seeing everyone's reaction, Xiao Qingfeng quickly smiled and clarified: "Don't misunderstand, everyone. I was just joking, trying to be humorous and lighten the mood. Please don't take it seriously. I assure you all that I absolutely did not bribe the production team!"
Zong Hai was almost in tears. "My little ancestor, is this an explanation?"
Isn't this just making things worse by trying to explain?
However, many rational netizens prefer to believe that Xiao Qingfeng was just trying to liven things up, since no one would be so foolish as to reveal the inside story so openly.
"Xiao Qingfeng is definitely playing a prank. Is he subtly implying that other singers paid money?"
"That's possible, but tonight's rankings are pretty much the same as the rankings I had in mind, so there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with them!"
"Let's see how they perform later. If they really have the ability, everyone will naturally recognize it."
"In any case, I hope the competition will be fair and just."
......
Clearly, Xiao Qingfeng's few words had made him the most dazzling person tonight, and almost all the attention was focused on him.
Fearing that Xiao Qingfeng might say something even more shocking, Zong Hai quickly changed the subject!
"Teacher Qingfeng, you previously mentioned that you would not be covering any songs on this stage, and all the songs would be original. Could you give us a hint about your new song for the next episode?"
Xiao Qingfeng actually said that every song he sings is a new song. If he continues until the last episode, Xiao Qingfeng will have to prepare at least ten new songs.
Netizens began to speculate whether Xiao Qingfeng was already prepared or was still in the process of preparing.
"Oh, the next song, right? I haven't written it yet. But you can leave a message on my blog and tell me what kind of song you want to hear. I'll randomly choose a direction to create!"
"What? You haven't written the song yet?"
This statement has become another bombshell!
Tonight, apart from giving off a quiet, poetic vibe while singing, Xiao Qingfeng seemed to be drunk the rest of the time, making outrageous statements!
When the other singers at the scene heard Xiao Qingfeng say that he hadn't written the song yet, they all showed expressions of surprise and disbelief.
Wang Bolun's eyes widened as he said, "Brother, you're too optimistic! The next episode is just around the corner!"
Meifei frowned slightly and said, "Qingfeng, this is no joke. Creating is not an easy thing."
The host, Zong Hai, looked helpless and said with a wry smile, "Teacher Qingfeng, you have really surprised and delighted me. Time is tight, so you'd better hurry."
The viewers in the live stream were utterly shocked.
"What? The song hasn't been written yet? Xiao Qingfeng is taking too much of a risk!"
"Is he overconfident, or is he deliberately creating hype?"
"If he can create good songs on time, I'll really admire him!"
"It feels like Xiao Qingfeng is playing with fire. It would be embarrassing if he couldn't finish writing it."
"Maybe they are truly talented and have the confidence to do this."
"Anyway, just based on his audacity, I want to see what kind of work he can produce next time."
Zong Hai used to dawdle during this part, but this time he just wanted to finish everything for the night as soon as possible.
"Then we look forward to Teacher Qingfeng bringing us wonderful original works in the future, and we also hope that all the viewers will continue to pay attention to our program. Next, let's ask the other singers to talk about their feelings about this competition."
The atmosphere at the scene eased a little, and the other singers spoke in turn, but everyone was thinking about Xiao Qingfeng's unexpected move.
It's worth noting that in the past, singers who made it to the final episode would present their signature songs, perhaps with changes to the original arrangements and lyrics.
But what could be better than promoting his new song on the stage of "Singer Who Makes Waves"?
At this moment, all he wanted to say was, "Others laugh at my madness, but I laugh at their ignorance!"
This "Singer Who Makes Waves" will be an important springboard for his career to take off, and it is the first step to conquer the music scene.
"Alright everyone, that's it for the first episode of 'Singer Who Makes Waves'!"
"See you next Friday at 8 PM!"
As the director finished speaking, the first round of the ranking competition for the twelfth season of "Singer Who Makes Waves" officially came to an end!
Although the show has ended, the buzz surrounding this amazing performance continues to grow online, and several trending topics have quickly emerged!
