"Should be okay, right?"
The person who answered this question was not Helian Bei, but Guan Fei.
"Since filling in his spot, Brother Bei hasn't finished outside the top three. And his championship win was certainly a popular choice. Based on past championship successes, Brother Bei shouldn't have any trouble winning this time, right?"
Zhou Yiyang nodded. "Well, according to common sense, there's really no problem for him to win the championship. But you know, anything is possible in this situation. Who knows if a dark horse will emerge?"
"Brother Bei," Guan Fei rolled his eyes and jokingly asked, "So, do you think Ruirui or Xuan'er could pull off a surprise victory?"
"Strictly speaking," Bai Yangyu, who had been busy analyzing data, looked up, "after Wang Xingrui's successful challenge, her review score was 3.12, second highest among all online singers this year. Her victory wasn't a surprise. However, considering her age and qualifications, winning the championship wasn't a good thing for her. As for Xuan'er, her average score of 4 was also fourth this year, so she wasn't a dark horse."
"That's right," Zhou Yiyang laughed. "Although everyone knows Ruirui is a strong singer, if you search the forums you'll see that very few people predict she'll win. There are two reasons for this: one is that there's a stronger candidate for the title, and the other is that she's too young. Many people wouldn't consider her the title of Singer King enough."
"Can't we just listen to music?" Guan Fei understood the reason, but instinctively still disliked this kind of seniority-based system.
"Being able to consistently perform in the music industry for so many years is a skill in itself. Ruirui and Xuan'er are in no rush at all; there's still a long way to go! Besides, if we do win the championship, our PR team is still very strong."
Wang Xingrui and Lin Xuaner never thought that they would win the championship.
They also participated in the champion prediction voting activity officially initiated by Xiangjiang Satellite TV and chose Helian Bei without hesitation.
"What song do you think Brother Bei will choose for the finals?" Lin Xuan'er asked while lying in the massage chair after the rehearsal.
"I guess it's a new song," Wang Xingrui turned over, "It's impossible that Brother Yang didn't write a song for Brother Bei. After all, Brother Bei should release a new album."
"But don't you think the last song of the finals should be your most famous song?" Tang Yue was also getting a massage. She grimaced, feeling both pain and pleasure.
"Some people did that before," Su Yin sipped her tea slowly, moistening her throat. "But Brother Bei probably wouldn't do that. He doesn't seem like the type to choose a song everyone is familiar with just to win the championship."
"That's right," Wang Xingrui agreed. "Xuan'er and I both chose new songs anyway. We're here to promote them, haha!"
"Keep it down," Lin Xuan'er said, shushing. "If there are reporters eavesdropping outside, they'll probably exaggerate and accuse us of disrespecting the stage."
The four of them fell silent at the same time, but they also understood that some gossip reporters would not care about their status and would take risks to fabricate stories for the sake of popularity.
The rehearsal time passed too quickly for the seven singers who entered the finals. Many of them felt that they had not yet chosen the songs or polished their performances with their guest singers, but the day of the finals had already arrived.
As the flagship program of Xiangjiang Satellite TV, the final of "This is the Singer" has attracted a lot of attention.
As a special guest, Zhou Yiyang naturally did not need to buy a ticket to enter.
For fans of Yue Shao who wanted to watch the game in person, they found that they couldn’t even buy tickets.
"Fortunately, I grabbed the tickets a month in advance." Strawberry Duoduo said proudly.
"Hmm," Mango Duoduo raised an eyebrow. "So this ticket is really rare? I just randomly forwarded a Weibo post and won it."
…
The two rushed to Xiangcheng, and like most of the audience who came to watch the finals, they went to May Day Square, drank the internet-famous milk tea, ate stinky tofu, flavored shrimp and rice noodles sold on the streets, and then arrived at the gate of the stadium where the finals were held tonight.
After the stadium, the online singers were already standing in front of the camera, accepting interviews from major online media.
Moonlight naturally also sent people, and their target was very clear, targeting their own artists.
"Teacher Helian Bei, can you tell us about your guest singer this time?"
Helian Bei turned around and waved at the camera, immediately capturing the hearts of countless girls on the other side of the screen:
"Of course it's kept secret!"
The reporter then came over to Lin Xuaner, who was still getting her hair done, and asked, "I thought the guest singers would get their hair done with you guys!"
Lin Xuan'er smiled and said, "If you want to know, I don't mind telling you."
"Really?" the reporter asked in surprise.
"Of course." Lin Xuan'er was well aware of the program's schedule. The names of all their guest singers would likely be revealed in an hour, so keeping it a secret wouldn't make much sense now. "It's the partner I'm most familiar with."
"Then I understand." The reporter said excitedly: "It seems that you and Ruirui each took one?"
"Yes." Lin Xuan'er raised her lips. "Everyone watching the live broadcast, please cheer for Ruirui and me! And Bei Ge too!"
When it came to Wang Xingrui, the reporter picked out the questions that the audience wanted to ask the most:
"Ruirui, will you choose a difficult song tonight? Many audiences are looking forward to hearing your high notes."
"I can't tell you the name of the song yet," Wang Xingrui said, turning around after applying her lipstick. "But I want to tell you, I'm going to absolutely delight you tonight! As for the difficulty, it should be quite high. I think it's just okay."
"Well, Ruirui is indeed her," the reporter joked, "Even Versailles is so reserved."
At this time, the program team also announced the singing order for tonight - exactly the ranking of the last episode.
Wang Xingrui was delighted at first because she had sung her idol Wen Yuan's song in the last episode and won first place, which meant she would be the last to perform.
Then she started worrying about Xuan'er. In the last episode, Lin Xuan'er chose a folk song for a change of pace. Even though she sang well, the audience just wanted to hear her sing and dance, so she only finished fifth.
"Third one to appear," Tang Yue said, sitting on the sofa, almost fainting. "Do I have to prepare so soon?"
Su Yin comforted the anxious Tang Yue: "Tangtang, you have to think like this: the sooner you perform, the sooner you can be relieved. If you watch the next performance, you might feel even more stressed."
"That's the truth," Tang Yue bit her lip. "But my legs are weak now. If I sing this alone, it will be over. I'm so afraid of holding Xuan'er back! Her song in the finals was amazing. She must make it to the second round!"
"Don't worry," Zhou Yiyang walked up behind them. As a special guest, he had free access to every room. "Wherever you two stand, someone will vote. And you all know how stable Xuan'er's presence is."
Thus, the finals of "This is the Singer" began. The first round was the traditional singing session.
