Backstage, a group of contestants were dumbfounded.
That’s amazing! So awesome!
Who would have thought that this guy is so invincible in folk music, and even his ballads are so awesome!
It's simply against the will of heaven.
What's the point of competing? We can only compete for second place.
Zhang Dandan's face also became a little solemn. She had always regarded Wu Cong as a strong rival, and she was also very wary of the latter's folk songs. But who could have thought that he didn't even play a folk song or show off his guitar, but only a rock song and completely conquered the audience.
The enthusiasm of the audience was far greater than when she was on stage.
This made her feel a little uncomfortable, and her face looked a little ugly.
On the stage, Wu Cong's face was covered in sweat, and he held the microphone stand with both hands, with veins bulging on his hands.
He continues.
Tonight the moon is reflected in the cup
The fragrance of paper and ink fills the river with poems and verses
Tonight the moon is reflected in the cup
The heroic and brave Daqian Jinliang
Fate is branded along the lines of my palms
Tonight I wake up from my drunken stupor
Following fate into myth
It's like returning to the Tang Dynasty in my dream
As the last high note ended, Wu Cong was almost soaked in sweat.
The song was finally finished, taking almost all his strength.
Fortunately, looking at the cheering and enthusiastic audience, he felt it was worth it.
Very good, almost perfect except for one small mistake.
Zhao Rui came on stage and sang excitedly: "Following fate and entering the mystery, it's as if I've returned to the Tang Dynasty in my dream——"
The sound is broken.
I can't sing it at all.
There was a burst of laughter at the scene.
Zhao Rui also laughed at himself and said, "Everyone, don't laugh at me. I believe that you are all like me. I couldn't help but want to sing a song just now. It was so passionate and exciting. My heart is still pounding. What do you think of my singing?"
"good!"
The audience below was surprisingly unanimous, and their voices were uniform.
Zhao Rui smiled and said, "How about you all take a seat first? This makes me feel very stressed and I don't have any sense of superiority at all. If you all take a seat, I can instantly regain my sense of superiority."
Everyone was amused again. Everyone sat down slowly, talking to each other and praising the performance.
Zhao Rui turned his head, glanced at Wu Cong, and exclaimed, "Did you just get out of the shower? You're soaking wet. Wow, are those pectoral muscles? Are those abdominal muscles?"
The audience laughed, and Wu Cong laughed too.
"alright!"
Zhao Rui said, "No kidding, I believe everyone enjoyed Wu Cong's performance of 'Dreaming of the Tang Dynasty'. I'm really looking forward to the opinions of the judges. Teacher Shitou..."
Shitou smiled and said, "Actually, everyone is very familiar with this song. It's a song by the band Tang Dynasty. Most of the members of this band are good friends with me, and I've heard them sing this song more than once. But I have to say, Wu Cong's performance tonight was amazing. I've heard many people cover this song, but he is undoubtedly the best. The timbre, the high notes, the rhythm, and the emotional interpretation are all on point. I'll give it a score of 10!"
There was applause at the scene.
Zhao Rui smiled and said, "It seems that Teacher Shitou really likes Wu Cong's performance. He gave it a big 10 before the scoring phase even started. This is also the first full score tonight. Teacher Xiaotian, what do you think?"
"I have nothing to say. I can't sing this song. I can only say three words: It's amazing. As for the rating, I'll give it a 9. Leave some room for improvement."
There was another round of applause.
"Teacher Bai Li?"
Zhao Rui actually asked three judges in a row, which is simply unprecedented.
Bai Li probably hadn't expected to be asked this question. She remained calm and smiled, "Your singing skills are solid, your voice is excellent, and apart from one minor mistake, it was perfect. I'll give you a 9. I look forward to your performance in the second round, and I hope you'll bring honor to our Western Division and make it to the finals! I'm rooting for you!"
"Thank you to the three teachers for your encouragement, and thank you to Teacher Bai for your guidance. I will definitely work harder!"
Wu Cong behaved very modestly.
The applause was thunderous.
"Now it's time for the audience rating session. Everyone, please give your ratings now!"
There was a buzz in the audience.
Soon, the statistical results came out.
Zhao Rui checked his phone and said, "Now that Wu Cong's score is out, how many points did he get for his perfect performance? Ahem, the answer is on this XX smartphone in my hand. XX smartphone, with its soft-light dual-camera, 50 million pixels, and dual SIM dual standby, gives you a clearer visual experience. Thank you XX product for sponsoring this program..."
After a round of commercials, Zhao Rui laughed and said, "Sorry, we inserted a commercial at a critical moment. Don't blame me, it was arranged by the director. If I don't do the commercial, the sponsors won't support it. Haha. Okay, let me take a closer look at the score... Wow, no way, staff, is there a problem?"
The audience below was stunned.
Zhao Rui suddenly laughed and said, "I was just kidding. The main reason is that this score exceeded my expectations. Okay, enough suspense. Now I'll announce this contestant's final score -"
He stretched out his voice.
"96.12 points!"
Wow!
The scene was boiling.
The applause was overwhelming.
In the backstage hall, all the contestants also widened their eyes.
The scene was completely silent.
Oh shit!
With such a high score, what else is there to compare?!
When Wu Cong came backstage, a group of people stood up to greet him, applauding and giving him thumbs up.
Putting his hands together, he bowed to thank everyone and encouraged them.
This shows the difference in how people behave.
He is stronger than Zhang Dandan, but he is very low-key and naturally more respected.
Next, perhaps stimulated by the fact that they knew they would not be able to enter the second round without working hard, several contestants performed suddenly and their scores were generally high. Two of them even exceeded 90 points, reaching 91.89 and 92.57 respectively.
Finally, the first round is almost over.
Luo Yuzhu began to prepare.
She stood up and some people waved and cheered her on.
Wu Cong nodded to Luo Yuzhu and said, "Keep going. I'm confident you'll make it to the next round."
"Thank you everyone."
Luo Yuzhu took a breath and responded with a smile.
Zhang Dandan curled her lips, her face full of sarcasm.
She has now secured a spot in the second round and is ranked in the top five in terms of total score.
As for Luo Yuzhu, at best she could make it into the top eight and posed no threat to her at all.
Luo Yuzhu's figure began to appear on the big screen in the studio.
Tang Xiaobao perked up, sat up straight, and said, "Yuzhu is on stage, come on!"
He pumped his fist, seeming a little nervous.
Yingying looked at him strangely and said nothing.
As soon as Luo Yuzhu came on stage, she amazed everyone.
She was dressed very casually, but her makeup was very delicate. The key was her appearance, figure and temperament. As soon as she appeared, it was like a gentle breeze blowing, which lifted people's spirits.
