The next day.
Lin Yuan put on his Prince of Lanlingâs costume and headed towards the music center by car.
Qin Continent was the Land of Music, which convenient for Lin Yuan since he did not have to go to other continents.
Most impressive music programs were basically held in Qin Continent.
Driverâs seat.
Gu Dong, with his sunglasses on, said: âToday weâre not going through the underground parking lot, but straight from the main entrance. Shooting starts directly from getting off the car.â
âSure.â
Lin Yuan had no objections.
When the car stopped at the entrance, Lin Yuan looked out the window and noticed numerous spectators assembled outside the barricade line at the entrance of the music center.
Two members of the program crew in suits approached and opened Lin Yuanâs car door.
As soon as Lin Yuan stepped out of the car, countless screams erupted around him:
âPrince of Lanling!â
âGo for it, Prince of Lanling!â
âI will always support you, Prince of Lanling!â
ââ¦â
With the first broadcast of âThe Masked Singerâ, Prince of Lanling, as the most trending topic, was already familiar to the audience.
Perhaps some people came specifically for Prince of Lanling today.
Even if everyone didnât know who was under the mask of Prince of Lanling.
Lin Yuan waved to the crowd and then entered the concert hall under the guidance of two programâs bodyguards.
Shortly after Lin Yuan, the Swan arrived.
There were also tremendous cheers, no less passionate than those for Lin Yuan, amongst which a person shouted:
âI will always support you, Swan!â
The same guy who shouted he would always support Prince of Lanling.
Tongtong had been waiting at the entrance: âPrince of Lanling, letâs go to the rehearsal hall firstâ¦â
âOkay.â
Lin Yuan was leading the way.
Tongtong kept pace: âHave you seen this seasonâs music charts? The song âBracing the Chillâ has shot up to the fifth place. Itâs unfortunate that our program was broadcasted a week after the competition started, otherwise the ranking would be even higher. But thereâs still a long month ahead, so I guess getting into the top three shouldnât be a problem. The only difficulty would be getting the champion song because the first two songs are Maestroâs masterpieces.â
âOkay.â
Yes, âBracing the Chillâ had joined the seasonâs competition.
When new songs appear, they are generally added to the music season competition. Under normal circumstances, itâs not impossible for âBracing the Chillâ to take first place, but unfortunately, Maestro had also participated in this competition.
Once Maestro makes a move, itâs difficult for other songs to get a chance.
Even if âBracing the Chillâ had a nice melody and the songwriter was Xian Yu, it still couldnât cover up the inferiority of the lyrics.
Moreover, the melody was only nice. It really depended on what song it was compared to.
If compared to songs like âRed Roseâ, it was obviously inferior. Now that was a real trendy hit!
A good live reaction?
That was because the live performance of âBracing the Chillâ was stunning. One person was able to perform two different voices; it was so shocking that it made your scalp tingle.
Butâ¦
When everyone listens to music on their player, thereâs no visual effects to enhance the experience; they couldnât see a person singing with two different voices.
Even if they knew beforehand that the two voices were sung by the same person, the shock value would be much less.
So Lin Yuan didnât care whether he was first or not.
He originally participated in the competition, not for the competition rankingââ
Although they seem the same, they are actually very different.
The biggest difference being:
If he wasnât up for the competition, but purely aiming for the competitionâs ranking, Lin Yuan would definitely not use âBracing the Chillâ to compete.
The same logic applies.
For todayâs competition, if Lin Yuan was only vying for first place, he wouldnât have chosen the song âBoyâ.
â¦
The rehearsal lasted for an entire hour.
When he felt that he rehearsed sufficiently, Lin Yuan stopped rehearsing.
Because the singers who were going to record the second episode tonight needed to maintain their freshness and passion for the song.
It was pointless to go on singing the same song over and over.
Moreover, the song was quite long, playing the piano continuously would also be tiring.
Leaving the rehearsal room.
Tongtong leaned in towards Lanling Wang and apologized in a whisper:
âI need to apologize for something. Before the first episode was aired, I kept asking the program crew to cut out the part where you were evaluating Swan and Teacher Yuan Xi, but the directorâs team insisted on keeping that part, which resulted in you being criticized by Teacher Yuan Xiâs fansâ¦â
âItâs fine.â
Lin Yuan casually replied.
Indeed, Yuan Xiâs fans hated him.
But judging from the broadcast of the first episode, people who like him were also not few.
Of course, there would be some disputes in between.
Back in the dressing room.
There was still some time before the competition.
Lin Yuan simply took out his mobile phone and started surfing the internet.
News about âThe Masked Singerâ could be seen everywhere on the Tribe and Blog.
At this moment.
A live stream recommendation online caught Lin Yuanâs attention.
The live stream was titled âLeng Quan Predicts Ranking in the 2nd Episode of The Masked Singerâ.
He clicked on the live stream.
The host was a man who was discussing while facing the camera:
âI might join the judging panel for the third episode, I have no time for the second episode, I can only do a live stream to predict for everyone, first of all Iâm not sure about the substitute singersâ skills, so excluding them, based on the performance of the five contestants left from the first episode, I think the first place in the next episode will be either Swan or Robot. Because itâs apparent that Robot was hiding his skills in the first match, heâs probably a King of Singing from Blue Star. He should really blow off steam in the second match.â
âProphet Leng Quan?â
Tongtong suddenly leaned in, then subconsciously said.
It seemed that this live stream host was quite famous.
Tongtong saw that Lin Yuan had no response, he started explain: âLeng Quan is a music critic. He had accurately predicted the champion of âBloomâ three times consecutively, earning him the title of the Great Prophet of the music industry amongst netizens.â
Prophet?
Thatâs interesting.
Lin Yuan couldnât help but be intrigued. After the first episode was aired, he was also called a prophet.
Leng Quanâs live stream went on:
âFirst and second place will either be Swan or Robot, depending on who performs better. Next letâs predict third and fourth place. I think it must be either Piggy Qiqi or Prince of Lanlingâ¦â
âWhat about Prince of Lanling?â
Suddenly someone asked in the bullet screen.
Leng Quan glanced at this bullet screen message and smiled: âAfter the first episode was aired, there has been a lot of discussion about Prince of Lanling online lately. But you guys are greatly mistaken. Prince of Lanling is not as strong as you all imagined. Professionals can hear it; his singing is only at a second or third-tier levelâ¦â
Tongtong was taken aback.
He quickly sneaked a peek at the Prince of Lanling.
Prince of Lanling had no reaction.
Of course it was hard to see any reaction from behind the mask.
Unless Prince of Lanling dramatically leaned back.
Lin Yuan: ââ¦â
In fact, Lin Yuan didnât have any psychological fluctuations.
However, this person was quite ambiguous.
A second-tier was second-tier, and third-tier was third-tier, what did he mean by saying Lin Yuan had second or third-tier singing skills?
Lin Yuan was definitely a solid second-tier singer.
Otherwise, he would never have won the first place in the first episode.
At this moment.
The program crewâs camera lens, also turned to shooting Lin Yuan watching the live streamâ¦
ââââââââ
