Chapter 349 This is Shen Yun
Netizens were having a blast criticizing him.
It must be admitted that Shen Yun's performance this time was quite successful. She performed better than in her previous performance, and the quality of the song was also very high. In particular, the 5D special effects visuals were very moving and had a lot of positive energy.
Despite its many advantages, the final score was lower than the first round, which many onlookers found unacceptable.
Could it be that these judges are discriminating against people with disabilities?!
I don't know who put forward this argument, but it was like setting off a powder keg, and the whole internet was criticizing these judges.
Media outlets from various countries naturally wouldn't miss such a hot topic, so they didn't need to come up with brilliant ideas; they just needed to use what was available.
Soon, news articles were posted on the news section.
Lu Ye enjoyed reading the reports with great enthusiasm, but he wasn't very interested in the performances of the other female contestants in the pop music category.
To be precise, the Tianrui team isn't paying much attention to the other players these days. Compared to the excitement on the field, the news online is clearly much more exciting!
"Will this affect Shen Yun or Xiao Rui?"
Uncle Qiao looked worried.
"It's obvious that there's someone behind the scenes pushing things along."
Chen Tianye said calmly, "However, so far the criticism is overwhelmingly directed at the judges. It seems that the behind-the-scenes manipulators who are throwing mud at us are quite sensible and know what they can and cannot say."
"This is really something new. Didn't these overseas media outlets always relentlessly criticize Chinese artists before?"
Lu Ye was somewhat speechless: "How come the situation seems to be much better now?"
It's not that the overseas narrative has changed; there are still many netizens who hurl insults at Chinese artists. However, compared to before the World Arts Conference, the attitudes of overseas media and netizens have visibly changed.
"Actually, I discussed this matter with Mr. Zhou before."
Chen Tianye said thoughtfully, "Perhaps it's related to the upcoming opening of the eighteen states in China. I imagine that overseas capital wants to enter this market, and to prevent their companies from saying or doing anything they shouldn't, they should be giving them special instructions."
Uncle Qiao and Lu Ye both looked enlightened.
The logic is actually not hard to guess, but not everyone will think in this way.
After all, not to mention those outside the entertainment circle, even within it, probably more than half of the people don't know that after the World Arts Conference, all eighteen states were opened up.
"That's strange, it seems like the other people's scores aren't high either this round."
Wen Wenxuan suddenly said something.
Lu Ye and the others then realized that although they had listened to the other contestants' songs, they hadn't paid much attention to them since they found that none of them had surpassed Shen Yun during the scoring phase.
But now, reminded by Wen Wenxuan, everyone couldn't help but look at the scores and rankings, and for a moment they didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Did these judges sense the crisis in advance?"
That was just a joke.
Nobody cares.
This is the World Arts Festival; who would dare to pass on a message in full view of everyone?
"Look, Shen Yun is coming on stage."
"Will this one be inspirational again? Or will it be something like what we discussed before, something with a charitable aspect?"
"Very likely."
As everyone chimed in with their opinions, Chen Tianye frowned and said, "If we keep playing the emotional card, even if the audience appreciates it, the judges will probably be disgusted."
"That's right, it has a bit of a moral blackmail feel to it. After all, this is the World Arts Competition. The theme of the work is important, but we still have to consider the contestants' overall abilities, not just the songs."
Uncle Qiao also shared his opinion.
"Stop guessing, the work is out."
As Lu Ye reminded them, a melancholic melody began to play, and everyone looked at the screen to see the song information.
——"Cry On My Shoulder"
Not an inspirational song?
It's not a charity song as some had speculated?!
Many people were somewhat surprised upon seeing the song title and hearing the melody.
Is this a direct return to traditional emotional songs?
"That doesn't make sense. If it's just an emotional song, why not put it in the first round?"
Chen Tianye frowned even more deeply.
In fact, many people think this way, including the judges on the judging panel.
In their view, Shen Yun's, or Fu Sheng's, arrangement was simply putting the cart before the horse.
Just as they were still pondering and speculating about his motives, Shen Yun spoke up.
If the hero never comes to
If you need someone you're feeling blue"
What's going on?!
It's not that the 5D scenes on stage are particularly amazing or impressive.
It was very ordinary; it was just a female silhouette strolling along a tree-lined path in the night.
It looks very ordinary, and compared to previous 5D images, it has no highlights at all.
But it was precisely this scene, which looked like they were about to give up the game, that made many people look strange.
sound!
It's a sound!
Shen Yun's voice is off; it's not her usual voice!
Falsetto?
"If you wait for love and you're alone
If you call your friends and nobody’s home”
The judges' expressions changed slightly.
In this section, Shen Yun switched to a different falsetto, and it connected seamlessly with the previous one, with the transition being smooth and even silky!
And on the stage, another female phantom appeared.
It evokes the same feeling of loneliness.
"Is he trying to learn Xiao Ruixiu's moves?"
Lu Ye's expression was quite interesting.
Not only him, but anyone who watched the first three episodes of "Masked Singer" had an expectant look on their face.
Not only them, but netizens from Sangzhou and Lizhou also had similar thoughts at this moment.
After all, this scene is all too familiar!
Could it be that Shen Yun in the video is the same person as Xiong, the internet celebrity from "Masked Singer"?
Unlike Shen Yun, the internet celebrity bear's figure isn't as impressive, especially her upper body, which is quite lacking.
"You can run away but you can't hide
Through a storm and through a lonely night”
At this moment, many people could no longer sit still.
The transition was silky smooth, but it was still a falsetto.
A third type?!
The crowd looked on in surprise as another female phantom appeared on the stage.
Even Sun Youlin looked at Shen Yun on the camera with some disbelief. He knew very well how effective Lin Rui's guidance was, after all, he was one of the beneficiaries.
He thought he was the one who improved the most among them, but after seeing Shen Yun's performance, he realized that this woman was the biggest beneficiary!
Did he steal Lin Rui's ancestral secret technique?!
Watching Shen Yun's powerful performance on stage, Sun Youlin secretly made up his mind that after everything was over, he must ask Shen Yun for advice!
Those who knew the inside story were simply surprised, but those who didn't were horrified!
That singing ability?!
Is this Shen Yun?!
It's one thing to use falsetto, but the problem is that there's more than one type, and what's most terrifying is that it's extremely emotional!
There are quite a few artists in China alone who can play multiple roles, not just overseas.
