In the recording studio.
The recording had not started yet; the equipment was still being tested.
But in the audience, a lot of people were already starting to warm up.
"Li Yu!"
"Li Yu!"
"Li Yu!"
"Li Yu!"
Someone shouted!
As a result, a number of others joined in and shouted!
Zhang Ye\'s second and third sisters stood up and shouted along with the others. Before Sunflower in the Starlight even sang or appeared onstage, his popularity was already through the roof. There were also many in the audience who were not Li Yu\'s fans, but when they saw what was going on, they got influenced by the atmosphere and started anticipating him as well. They were beginning to think that Sunflower would definitely be the Masked King today and thought that none of the other contestants could compete against him.
"He\'s really popular."
"Right, that\'s Li Yu we are talking about!"
"Looks like Petal Shower, The Clown, and the others will just be filling in today."
"This former A-lister is indeed deserving of his reputation!"
"Why isn\'t it starting yet?!"
"Will Li Yu be singing Cantonese songs today?"
"If he sings in Cantonese, he\'ll have no match!"
Zhang Xia, Chen Guang, Yao Jiancai, and the other judges had already taken their seats at the guessing panel and were whispering among each other. Although they knew exactly what had happened, as well as how Li Yu was a sore loser, they were still very uncomfortable with his underhanded behavior that was as good as cheating. With the trouble that you stirred up, how can the others continue competing? Who can compete for the Masked King against you? Will there be any point to this competition? It might as well be an individual stage for you to perform on?
Yao Jiancai asked, "Have the lots been drawn already?"
Zhang Xia said, "Seems so."
Chen Yidong smiled and said, "The first to perform will be Spinach, followed by Sunflower."
Amy spoke up, "It\'s no longer that order. I heard that Petal Shower swapped places with Spinach. She\'ll be the first to perform now."
Chen Guang was startled. "Huh?"
The others did not know about this either.
Zhang Xia was taken aback. "What\'s happened?"
Amy coughed. "Seems like Petal Shower has gotten angry!"
Angry?
She initiated a challenge against Sunflower?
Indeed. With Li Yu\'s antics, who wouldn\'t get angry!
Chen Guang smiled wryly.
Zhang Xia said, "She wants to stop Sunflower from being crowned as the third episode\'s Masked King? By bringing him down?"
Wang Zhuishu sighed, "Her courage is admirable, but Petal Shower\'s just about as talented as Sunflower. Although I\'ve always liked her, I\'m still not optimistic about her chances against Sunflower. Who can beat Sunflower today? Petal Shower won\'t be able to do it; The Clown\'s even further out of the equation." Then he turned to the camera and said, "Please edit this part out."
Suddenly, Dong Shanshan walked onto the stage with a smile after exchanging some quick words with the program team staff through her earpiece.
When the audience saw this, their cheers loudened!
"He\'s about to come on!"
"It\'s starting!"
"Li Yu!"
"Li Yu!"
Dong Shanshan said amid the cheering, "Welcome, everybody, to the King of Masked Singers brought to you by our sponsor, Bright Fruit Cocoa." She bent her knees and gave a playful curtsy to the audience. "I\'m your host, Dong Shanshan."
Along with the explosive viewership ratings and the show becoming a hit, Dong Shanshan\'s popularity soared. But today, it seemed like no one was paying any attention to what clothes or glasses Dong Shanshan was wearing and what hairstyle she had. There was only one thing on everyone\'s mind: What song would Sunflower be singing and how he was going to get crowned Masked King!
After a string of advertising messages.
Dong Shanshan handed the stage over. "Then let\'s invite our first singer today—Petal Shower."
Petal Shower walked out onto the stage.
A few of the other contestants were standing in the corridor leading to the stage.
Spinach said, "Big Sis, all the best!"
Yesterday\'s Daylily said, "Please defeat Sunflower!"
Sunset Glow and The Clown were watching Petal Shower from behind.
Zhang Ye felt that Petal Shower had turned into a different person today. It felt like she was full of fighting spirit and that the anger suppressed within her was about to explode at any moment!
This was something to look forward to!
You had better not lose to him!
The audience still applauded for her.
"It\'s Petal Shower."
"Her singing is quite good."
"But it\'s only her falsetto that is good. How else can she compare to my Li Yu?"
"True that. Li Yu is a singing god in Greater China!"
"Yeah, there are only a handful of domestic singers who can be mentioned in the same breath as Li Yu. But I think it\'s unlikely that those people would come and compete on King of Masked Singers."
Zhang Ye spotted where his parents were sitting in the audience.
His father had a serious expression on his face.
His mother and sisters were very excited and shouting about something, but Zhang Ye was too far away to hear them clearly.
The lights dimmed.
The studio suddenly fell silent.
However, not everyone knew how to respect others. In the middle of the audience, a few girls were waving their LED boards and actually shouting Li Yu\'s name when Petal Shower took to the stage!
"Brother Li Yu!"
"Sunflower, go for it!"
"Li Yu, I love you!"
Then they started to giggle and laugh.
Executive Director Hu Fei\'s expression darkened!
The band had no choice but to stop and delay the start of the musical accompaniment.
A program team employee immediately ran over and gave them a warning!
In the wings, Li Yu\'s assistant gave a slight smile as she didn\'t find anything wrong with it. Look at this! This is what Teacher Li Yu\'s popularity is all about. In his presence, it will be useless no matter who comes!
Zhang Xia frowned.
Amy kept shaking her head.
What kind of behavior was that? Their impressions of Li Yu got worse!
Spinach said angrily, "Aren\'t they trying to stir up trouble?"
Yesterday\'s Daylily said, "All this happened because of Li Yu\'s Weibo post!"
However, Zhang Ye could see that Petal Shower was not affected by this. She stood at center stage and closed her eyes. Then, all of a sudden, she raised her microphone! With the ruckus occurring in the audience and with the studio not exactly quiet, no one expected Petal Shower to start singing in a cappella!
"Have you ever seen the sun rise?
"It\'s warm and cozy.
"When one day you see someone singing into the sunrise,
"Well, that might just be me."
In an instant, everyone in the studio fell silent!
Zhang Xia was taken aback!
Amy nearly jumped!
Wang Zhuishu was dumbfounded!
Waiting in the wings, Spinach, Sunset Glow, and Yesterday\'s Daylily were all dumbfounded!
The music played!
Petal Shower sang loudly.
"Have you ever seen the blue skies?
"They\'re clear and they\'re real.
"When one day you see someone laughing under the blue skies,
"Well, that might just be me."
It was her real voice!
Petal Shower was using her real voice!
Even Sunflower, who was in his waiting room, was a little shocked!
This voice could truly be described as a keen blade. When the first word was sung, it stabbed right into the hearts of the audience, followed by thrust after thrust. This voice was very special!
And it was powerful!
It was a kind of power that most female singers did not possess!
Zhang Xia figured out who she was!
With this voice and singing style, there wasn\'t anybody else like her among the female singers in the music industry!
It was her!
She actually came to the show!
Everyone\'s hair stood on end as they got shocked. All of them thought that Petal Shower could only sing well in falsetto and that it was her greatest weapon. But when Petal Shower started singing with her real voice, many of them were unprepared for the shock!
How was that possible?
It turned out that her real voice was even better than her falsetto!
So Petal Shower had not been serious all this while!
She had just been "playing around" all along!
Even Li Yu\'s fans who were causing trouble earlier were dumbfounded by what they heard!
Petal Shower was singing higher and higher.
"Have you ever seen the dark clouds?
"They\'re thick and gloomy.
"When one day you see someone roaring under those dark clouds,
"Well, that might just be me."
The audience was so stunned their jaws dropped!
Zhang Ye\'s parents gasped!
Zhang Ye\'s three sisters went slack-jawed and forgot themselves!
How amazing!
This singing was unparalleled!
Zhang Ye closed his eyes and could feel goosebumps rising all over his arms!
Spinach and Yesterday\'s Daylily had been stunned for a while already!
Meanwhile, onstage, Petal Shower went another octave higher!
"Have you ever seen the sunset?
"It\'s dusky and quick to vanish.
"When one day you see someone shouting their last cry into the sunset,
"Well, that might just be me.
"No, that\'s definitely me!"
Suddenly, her voice jumped another octave!
"Ah!"
"Oh, ah!"
"Oh!"
"Ah, oh!"
"Hey, ahh!"
"Oh, ahhh!"
Anger!
Tenacity!
Despair!
Petal Shower\'s cries took this song to its climax!
Many of the audience members could feel their bodies drenched with sweat!
It was spectacular!
It was wondrous!
Right then and there, the audience erupted!
Many of them stood up!
Many of them began to scream!
"That\'s Me" was not considered a popular song in the music industry but had blossomed because of Petal Shower\'s cover. She sang it in such a godly manner!
No one was a match for today\'s Petal Shower!
She had surpassed the gods with this song!
