The situations in the backstage, of course, wouldnât interest anyone.
Even the performances of the first two singers were overshadowed by the shock brought by the Prince of Lanling, who would care about the feelings of the fourth singer?
On stage.
Host Anhong smiled and said, âAs you can see, our jury canât wait any longer, does Teacher Ding Ming have any questions?â
This Ding Ming is a variety show fanatic, basically, he appears in all the renowned variety shows on Blue Star.
Because he has a great sense of variety show, he is also quite bold in his speech.
As expected.
Ding Mingâs first sentence drew a lot of laughter: âDoes Prince of Lanling use the menâs restroom or the womenâs restroom?â
Lin Yuan replied: âPrivate bathroom.â
Whether itâs at his company or at home, he has a private bathroom.
Having no other choice, the other party asked: âLooks like we wonât be able to learn the gender of Prince of Lanling. How about other questions, would Prince of Lanling reject being second place?â
Puff!
The whole audience could get the joke.
Everyone burst into laughter!
The identity of Prince of Lanling is not without clues.
Because the song âBracing the Chillâ that he just sang is a song from Teacher Admirable Fish, so everyone suspects:
Prince of Lanling is a singer that Admirable Fish has collaborated with before.
Among the singers that Admirable Fish has collaborated with, the only one related to âsecondâ is the perennial runner-up, top-tier singer Chen Zhiyu!
âNo.â
Lin Yuan uttered.
Itâs probably not him, everyone observed the reaction of Prince of Lanling.
Then the other few stars in the jury asked a few questions, guessing the identity of Prince of Lanling, one after another.
Some even guessed that he might be Sun Yaohuo or Jiang Kuiâ¦
In the end, Prince of Lanling remained silent, just denying by shaking his head.
Even when he occasionally spoke, it would end the topic in one or two words.
Very aloof.
Just like his attitude towards the four judges just now.
Someone said: âPrince of Lanling seems to like answering questions with just one or two wordsâ¦â
âNot necessarily.â
This time itâs three words.
Everyone was torn between laughs and tears.
This is a conversation black hole!
Prince of Lanling has so much character!
Such coolness, in a sense, hits the taste of some people.
At this time, a member of the jury named Liu An asked: âWhy do you call yourself the Prince of Lanling? Does it have any special meaning?â
âAbout this, I would like to share the story of the Prince of Lanling with everyoneâ¦â
This time, Lin Yuan did not skimp on words. He retold the story of the Prince of Lanling that he had shared with Lil Goodoong on stage once again.
The audience was deeply interested.
The several judges also listened eagerly.
But after Prince of Lanling finished speaking, Liu An discovered some useful information, and he chuckled triumphantly:
âPrince of Lanling, you revealed yourself!â
âWhat?â
âYou said that Prince of Lanling is a general, a warrior on the battlefield, of course heâs a man, so even though you can sing in a female voice, you are definitely a male singer!â
Liu An praised his own cleverness, even though everyone can realize this kind of cleverness.
Lin Yuan was silent.
Liu An began to doubt.
There seemed to be female generals in ancient times, his logic was not necessarily correct.
Ding Ming next to him said: âLooking at the outfit, Prince of Lanling must be a male singer, but itâs hard to say just by his voice. Perhaps Prince of Lanling wants to mislead everyone into thinking that he is a male singer, so he wore menâs clothes, and his just now story was also a kind of misdirection.â
Liu An said: âSo, Iâm only at the first level, and Prince of Lanling is at the second level?â
Someone next to him said: âI am known as the Poirot of celebrities. I suspect Prince of Lanling is at the third level. He anticipated that we would suspect him of deliberately misleading the audience, so he used this thought trap to deliberately make us think he is misleading the audience!â
âIt could also be the fourth level!â
Hearing the juryâs celebritiesâ tongue twisters, the audience couldnât close their mouths from laughter.
Lin Yuan was speechlessâ¦
Is this The Masked Singer or Brainstorming?
These folks are even better than Poirot at deduction.
Problem is, I really didnât put much thought into it back then.
Luckily, the host didnât let them continue on with their deductions, successfully regaining control over the scene, and after bowing, Lin Yuan stepped off the stage.
As he passed the fourth singer waiting to go on stage, Lin Yuan sighed inwardly.
He knew, it would be hard for the fourth singer to follow his act.
Thatâs the nature of live performances.
If the previous act is too explosive, and the following act lets loose a bit, it creates a strong contrast for the audience.
This contrast amplifies the audienceâs emotions, making them feel that the worse act is extremely bad.
Because the audience will subconsciously compare the previous performance with the current oneâ¦
Such comparisons are what you dread.
If you compare the top student with the worst, the top student clearly wins.
But if you compare the top student with the genius, the top student suddenly seems no better than the worst.
Lin Yuan may not be a genius, but he indeed ignited the atmosphere.
Performing a duet solo, after seeing this many times, the audience wonât be surprised anymore, but being the first time, they would definitely be conquered!
Thatâs beyond doubt.
But thatâs the cruelty of the competition.
Lin Yuan couldnât purposely hide his abilities for his competitors, that would be disrespect.
Truth be told.
If he were to perform after the King and Queen of Singing, he would also feel the pressure.
The performance of Swan warming up the stage was quite excellent.
If Lin Yuan didnât bring out a new song today, as well as the trick of performing a male and female duet by himself, he wouldnât have been able to take control of the situation.
âTeacher Prince of Lanling!â
Tongtong ran over, supporting Lin Yuan, her small face full of excitement:
âYou sang so well, seamlessly transitioning between male and female voices. I always thought you were a male singer, but now Iâm starting to suspect that you might actually be a female singerâ¦â
Lin Yuan remained silent.
It seems that everyone canât quite figure out whether I am a male or female singer.
Thatâs great, it adds to the mystery.
If I openly admit to being a male singer, it would take away some of the suspense from the show.
Meanwhile.
In the control room.
The Music Director rushed in quickly, grabbing onto Tong Shuwenâs arm: âDirector, thereâs something strange about this Prince of Lanling!â
âWhatâs wrong?â
Tong Shuwen was taken aback.
The Music Director frowned, âThis Prince of Lanling told me during rehearsal that he wrote the lyrics and composed the music for âBracing the Chill,â but on the stage just now, he said that the song is Admire Fishâs masterpiece!â
Tong Shuwen: ââ¦.â
The Music Director looked very serious: âWe must ascertain if this song was actually written by Admirable Fish. If it was, then he deceived me earlier!â
Tong Shuwen had no choice but to disclose a bit of information, otherwise, the Music Director would start doubting Prince of Lanlingâs character:
âWhat he said is true.â
The Music Director was stunned: âWhat do you mean?â
Tong Shuwen just shrugged.
The color drained from the Music Directorâs face: âYou mean to say the Prince of Lanling is Admire⦠â
He wasnât a fool!
Tong Shuwen had hinted quite clearly!
âShh!â
Tong Shuwen cut off the Music Director: âThis matter is still confidential, you must not let the cat out of the bag. His identity hasnât been officially revealed yet.â
âUnderstood!â
The Music Director took a deep breath, looking complex: âI didnât expect that⦠heâs scary.â
âWho would disagree?â
A smile tugged at the corners of Tong Shuwenâs mouth. He completely understood the Music Directorâs feelings at that moment. It felt rather good to share a secret with someone.
Right now it seemed that Admirable Fish would not be unmasking anytime soon, his overall strength was formidable!
Tong Shuwen suddenly looked forward to how far this little maestro could go in this competition for singers?
