Chapter 368 That Summer, the Scent of Lavender, and a Mysterious Singer Turns the Tide
"Hello everyone, I'm Tian Zhen. I hope this round of the competition will continue to help you uncover the true identities of the masked singers!"
"Hello everyone, I am actor Wu Gang!"
"I am singer Meng Weiting!"...
The judges then took their seats one after another.
"Oh~~"
"Yiyi is so beautiful!"
With the appearance of the host, Yi Yi, the enthusiastic cheers from the audience reached another peak.
This round of matches.
The nine contestants were divided into groups of three.
Wang Yueheng was assigned to the first group this time, and he was the second to go on stage.
Sun Nan, dressed as a tall, thin monkey, was assigned to another group.
He was the first player to play in his group, along with Wang Yueheng.
He is a has-been singer named Xu Yang.
A name that sounds familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar to many viewers today.
Back when the internet was not yet widely available.
Xu Yang also set listening records with several popular songs.
Pirated cassette tapes were selling like hotcakes.
This singer's songs are on almost every MP3 player.
Unfortunately, Xu Yang, who was obsessed with romance at that time, didn't care about his booming career at all.
Furthermore, the revelation that he was dating a female celebrity who already had a boyfriend severely damaged his personal image.
His thriving career plummeted like a cliff.
After that, the times changed drastically, and no matter how hard Xu Yang tried, he could not avoid the reality that he had been abandoned by the market.
It wasn't until Ni Yongying, the producer of "Masked Singer," approached him that he was finally found.
This gave Xu Yang a chance to return to the stage.
The previous episode of Beixuan set a record for high viewership.
This also allowed him to ride the wave of the show's popularity, receiving long-awaited commercial performance invitations as a masked singer.
This gave Xu Yang hope of making a comeback after the competition.
Even if we are eliminated from this competition.
He will have no regrets.
With this in mind.
Xu Yang, dressed in an ancient robe and wearing an old man's mask, took to the stage to sing.
The song he submitted was "Lavender," an original composition he wrote in the last two years that has not yet been publicly released.
To avoid having one's accent detected.
Xu Yang sang in Cantonese this time.
"This contestant's voice sounds familiar; I feel like he must be one of my seniors!"
As Xue Qian listened to Xu Yang's performance, he sat in the judges' seat and gently swayed his head to the music.
"Although he sang in Cantonese, he clearly had a Taiwanese accent! He must have spent a long time there."
Taiwanese singer Tien Chen added confidently.
"A veteran singer, from Taiwan, speaks Cantonese very well..."
"It seems there are only a few people left!"
Judge Meng Weiting also quickly searched her memory.
"Lavender...lavender...I feel like this singer is hinting at something to us."
"It seems like they're deliberately trying to make us guess his identity in that direction! Could he be impersonating someone on purpose?"
Zhang Bichen shook her head. If that were really the case, it would be too easy to guess.
Could this be a guessing game deliberately set up by the singer?
"That's it! I know who it is, it must be him!"
Just as Xu Yang, dressed as an old man in ancient costume, sang the second chorus.
Xue Qian, who was holding binoculars, immediately slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly.
"Who is it? Who is it? I can't recognize it."
"Lavender Flower, I remember there was a Hong Kong artist named Xu Yang who filmed an idol drama of the same name in Taiwan before!"
"Huh? Could it really be him?! My memories from middle school!"
"Xu Yang! It must be him!"
"He knew he definitely couldn't beat that vixen Bei Xuan in this round, so he simply exposed himself!"...
And the actions of the guessing team.
This immediately sparked curiosity and numerous questions from the audience.
Countless viewers immediately thought of Xu Yang, the idol singer from their student days.
"We guess he is... Xu Yang!"
Almost the instant Xu Yang finished singing.
The guessing team also agreed on a unified story.
