âAs if it were planned.â
Back in the dressing room, the robot looks at the man sitting in front of the piano on the TV and chuckles :
Why is everyone suddenly playing the piano!
Next room.
Piggy Qiqi has calmed down.
She said bitterly, âThis is normal. There is always self-play and self-singing in competitions. The piano and guitar just so happen to be the instruments with the highest presence on stage. But after this episode, probably no one will dare play the piano lightly.â
The robotâs piano skills are too strong!
Other singers playing the piano will find it hard to reach the robotâs level, and they will likely be compared subconsciously by the audience with the robot, which might expose their shortcomings.
At this moment.
On stage.
Lin Yuan doesnât look at the packed crowd below.
With his mind completely on the piano, he stretched out his fingers and slammed down the keys in a crisscross manner!
A virtuosic passage!
The power of his fingers and wrists applied simultaneously on the keys. They were heavy tones, yet they were rapid, as if the subsequent sound was constantly chasing the echoes of the previous sound.
Heavy!
Powerful!
All the audienceâs heartbeats accelerated subconsciously, feeling as though these piano notes held some inexplicable attraction.
This pianoâ¦
The eyes of the jury simultaneously focus on Lin Yuan, savoring the exquisite points in his performance.
Jury seats.
The four judgesâ expressions gradually became serious.
Lin Yuan closed his eyes and his hands began to whirl at high speed, still in a crisscross virtuosic passage!
Double octaves!
This is showmanship!
Blatant showmanship!
Even though this process was very brief, it was undeniably an intense show of skill. In just tens of seconds, Lin Yuan had captivated everyoneâs attention!
âHuâ¦â
Lin Yuan took a breath, clearly transmitted through the microphone.
This was only the warm-up, just to gather the audienceâs attention.
In a pianistâs solo performance, itâs a common opening technique, just that non-professional pianists might find it hard to achieve this effect.
After the warm-up, the piano sound softened, like the extreme stillness after intense movement.
It was as if the explosive sound of the piano just now had never happened.
The band joins in.
A female voice resonates, like the breeze fluttering in the soul:
âOnce, by chance, he and she fell in love, in a time when thereâs no hesitation; assuming they understood, so they loved heartily, hands clenched tightly, and the determination and future in their heartsâ¦â
Then, a magnetic male voice sounded, like the raindrops falling:
âCannot forget, your love, but the conclusion is hard to change, I couldnât make you stay, less like him, who can give you a future to look forward to, naive boyâ¦â
The audienceâs eyes brighten.
Even though they have already heard Lin Yuanâs singing style in the first round, hearing him repeat this genre again with a different song still impresses them.
Lin Yuan is showing off!
âI wanted to ask, is your sorrow no more, like the sea lying under the sunlight, like colors painted with heartâ¦â
Female voice⦠male voice⦠female voice⦠male voice!
High-frequency transitions!
Seems like a new song?
On the judgesâ panel, the four judges thought so, then they all raised their eyebrows.
Thereâs no issue with the new song.
Itâs not that Lin Yuan sang anything wrong.
This high-frequency transition is cool.
But, how was he going to continue, since there were only two voices and no third voiceâ
Suddenly, Lin Yuan leaned forward, the piano notes intensified, and at the same time, a slightly raspy voice abruptly resonated:
âMake you smile, brave!â
A husky voice appears!
The third voice!
It perfectly blended with the previous two voices, achieving almost a âtrioâ effectâ
Mao Xuewang was dumbfounded.
Liu Xu was also shocked.
Wu Longâs mouth dropped open.
Yang Zhongming abruptly sat upright.
In the backstage area.
All the singers were dumbstruck.
Where did this voice come from?
Why does he have a third type of voice?
What kind of freaky throat does he have!
Even the audience in the auditorium started to fidget slightly.
Everyone felt the emergence of the third voice, but their feelings were not as intense as the professionals. They just felt like Prince of Lanlingâs voice seemed infinitely variable?
On the judgesâ side.
Many people looked shocked.
Although it was also a male voice, it was completely different from the previous magnetic baritone. This time it was a very beautiful husky voice!
A bit depressed, a bit vicissitudinous.
But it gives people a feeling of a rich story!
Lin Yuanâs husky voice completely came out, like a blade suddenly drawn in the dark: âI miss you now, I miss you when I wander, all regrets are not the future, all love will inevitably be hurt in the endâ¦â
The female voice is the wind.
The male voice is like rain.
Husky voice is like snow.
From the softness of spring wind to the crispness of raindrops, and finally turning into the husky voiceâs cold and vicissitudes, the notes seemed to dance around him.
âThud.â
Lin Yuanâs singing paused, leaving only the piano sounding like a monologue. on the eighty-eight piano keys, ten fingers were ten jumping spirits, each with a different pace.
A full minute.
But nobody found it too long.
It was as if they could never get tired of these piano tones.
Professional Level piano skill!
The robot backstage blinked.
It did not match up.
The room next door.
Swan muttered to herself: âWhy on earth do I want to play the pianoâ¦â
The other singers shook their heads.
After the Robot, any singer who wants to play the piano, they would definitely think twice.
But after Prince of Lanling, no singer would dare to play the piano on The Masked Singerâs stage!
Unless they are as good as Prince of Lanling, with professional-level pianist skills!
Yes!
Many people heard it!
Prince of Lanlingâs piano skills are better than the Robotâs!
In a certain interlude of the piano sound, Lin Yuanâs voice began to ring again. It was still the husky voice, but it was with a heavier pronunciation:
âNow I just hope that the pain comes more swiftly, since I canât go backâ¦â
The piano sound turned light.
Lin Yuan, with his eyes closed, lightly hummed.
The female voice like wind chimes, began to brush against his face again.
The male voice like raindrops, started to ring again.
The husky voice like falling snow, served as the finale.
This song, ended.
The scene was extremely quiet.
Some audience members displayed thoughtful expressions.
In contrast, the judges were nearly unanimous in their shock, and in the judgesâ area, four faces each showing a different reaction.
Applause started to ring.
If you listen carefully, it was clear that the applause from the fifty judges was the loudest, even drowning out that from the audience.
When the applause subsided.
The host walked onto the stage and asked: âIs this another new song written by Xian Yu?â
âYes, itâs called Boy.â
Lin Yuan got up from the piano, bowed to the band and the audience below, feeling that he had performed quite well.
âWuâ¦â
The host was preparing to call the judges.
But before the hostâs voice fell, Wu Long was already staring intently at Prince of Lanling, and was the first to speak:
âLast time, you got the first place, but all my votes went to Swan and Robot; this time, you probably wonât get the first place, but these hundred votes of mine are all yours.â
ââââââââ
