Chapter 492: Chapter 492: 468 - 2nd Broadcast_1

The television was broadcasting.

The start of the show.

The first highlighted clip was of the Prince of Lanling watching live, followed by the enlarged live shot from Leng Quan for the audience to view together.

“The Prince of Lanling is not as strong as you all think…”

Leng Quan earnestly analyzed the situation of the Prince of Lanling, and even directly projected the possible ranking for the second episode.

The screen was filled with comments of approval.

On the dining table in front of the TV.

Lin Xuan said, “The Prince of Lanling is so embarrassed, he happened to watch this live broadcast, and it was shown on the program.”

Lin Yuan remained silent.

After watching the competition, everyone would probably like Leng Quan’s analysis.

The Great Prophet, always steady!

After a few other singers’ shots, the formal singing finally started.

“This substitute singer is freaking awesome!”

The first singer who appeared on the TV immediately won the affection of Lin Xuan!

Mom glared, “What are you saying!”

Lin Xuan quickly corrected herself, “The voice of this substitute singer is full and passionate, filled with love for life and resistance against darkness, like a crane echoing in the valley, like the lonely call of an eagle…”

Lin Yuan listened in bemusement.

Maybe sister should join the judging panel?

Big Yaoyao took advantage of Lin Yuan’s inattention and added some vegetables to his plate.

At this moment.

The camera cut to the backstage.

The Prince of Lanling was seriously criticizing a certain singer, “Zhao Ying Ge is too showy, her high pitch and explosive power are her strengths, but in the recent two years…”

Is he coming back for season two?

Lin Xuan was surprised, “The Prince of Lanling dared to say that!”

The mother commented from the side, “I think this boy looks pretty honest, he looks friendly.”

“Honest?”

Lin Xuan laughed, “Mom, don’t you remember how the Prince of Lanling criticized Yuan Xi’s singing in the last season, and how he offended the white swan? Considering the white swan’s proud temperament, I wonder how it would react upon liking the Prince of Lanling! How can you find him friendly when he’s wearing a mask?”

As the discussion was going on, the vagrant took the stage.

However, while the vagrant was singing, everyone was engrossed in their food.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan, gazing at an extra piece of vegetable in his bowl, was lost in thought…

Weren’t there only two just now?

Why does there seem to be an extra one?

Without batting an eye, he discarded the vegetable under his foot.

Antarctica caught it tidily with its mouth, the practiced movement was somewhat heart wrenching.

The third singer was the White Swan.

Big Yaoyao suddenly observed, “The White Swan’s singing is still as good.”

Lin Yao had a fondness for the White Swan.

Lin Xuan shook her head, “The song is good, but compared to her rendition of ‘The Big Fish’ in the last episode, this didn’t offer much variation.”

Lin Yuan retorted, “It is better than the last issue. Her mid-song transitions are incredibly difficult.”

Lin Xuan scoffed:”But we can’t discern that.”

Lin Yuan thought that made sense.

The audience’s preference was the hard truth.

Sure enough.

Once the robot took the stage, a singular hand on the piano, and another playing a fast rhythm melody, the catchy singing style paired with an intense arrangement, that could stimulate people’s emotions robustly, immediately pleased Lin Xuan!

“What a cool song this is, and the piano play hits hard!”

Mom also nodded seriously, “The song is indeed good.”

This was a classic song by Blue Star, which the robot had remixed, making it more exciting than the original.

And then came Piggy Qiqi…

She made a mistake! Even Lin Xuan noticed that Piggy Qiqi’s performance had a problem.

Lin Yao said, “It’s a pity for Lu Yumeng.”

Lin Yuan was surprised, “You knew she was Lu Yumeng?”

Lin Yao replied, “When someone guessed that it was Lu Yumeng in the last episode, Piggy Qiqi clenched her fists, though the camera was far, I noticed. It was a subconscious reaction due to her nervousness. When she said the name Lu Yumeng, her tone was different. Though the voice was processed, you can still discern a bit. How we say our own names is different from saying other people’s names.”

Lin Yuan took another look at his little sister in surprise.

Let me introduce to the readers, this is Madame Lin Yao Poirot!

Finally.

The Prince of Lanling’s performance.

Lin Xuan happily said, “Leng Quan predicted that the Prince of Lanling will rank third or fourth, we shall wait and see.”

The Prince of Lanling was performing “Boy”.

Seeing himself on TV, Lin Yuan felt quite peculiar.

Last time, he watched it on the computer in high-speed mode, and even skipped his own part, mainly to see the audience’s reaction.

“The Prince of Lanling can also play the piano. He plays pretty well.”

Incredibly, Lin Xuan, who admittedly knows little about music, recognized the skill in the Prince of Lanling’s piano playing:

“The song is average, the singing also.”

Yao Yao disagreed, “I think it sounds all right.”

Mom agreed, “These young people nowadays do not understand rock. This is how rock songs should be sung. And this song is not particularly rock, the Prince of Lanling handled it well.”

Lin Yuan sighed, Mom is always understanding.

Lin Xuan was shocked, “You understand rock music?”

Mom replied indignant, “Your mother was once a music teacher, known as the ‘Rock Sister of Yongning Village Hope Primary School’!”

Lin Xuan expressed solemn respect!

A master was by my side!

They almost forgot that mom was the one who cultivated musical geniuses like Blue Star Maestro Junior, Xian Yu!

On TV.

The host asked who wrote the Prince of Lanling’s song.

The Prince of Lanling answered, “It’s Xian Yu’s new song, ‘Boy’.”

Lin Xuan: “…”

Lin Yao: “…”

Lin Xuan muttered, “Well, this song does have a unique taste in retrospect. Yao Yao, how could you call it average? You lack taste.”

Lin Yao was dumbfounded.

Weren’t those your words?

Lin Xuan slapped Lin Yao on the shoulder, “The song is really good. It’s not your fault, it must be the Prince of Lanling’s poor performance. I’m going to wash the dishes.”

With that, she fled in a panic.

It was too much to criticize a song in front of its composer, even if he was her brother. But, what if her brother stopped giving her pocket money?

Lin Yuan ignored his sister’s panic. It was great to hear the comments from ordinary viewers.

At last.

The program announced the rankings.

While washing dishes, Lin Xuan called out, “What place did the Prince of Lanling get?”

Her sister replied, “Third… But the White Swan did not criticize the Prince of Lanling, he even said the Prince of Lanling performed the best!”

Lin Xuan laughed out loud, “Well, the program did broadcast Leng Quan’s opening prediction. I thought there would be a twist. So, the Prince of Lanling’s ranking was actually predicted accurately by Leng Quan?”

Her sister replied: “But he predicted the White Swan’s rank wrong.”

Lin Xuan: “It doesn’t matter. Predictions are always half-right, half-wrong. Otherwise, let me make a prediction, next round the Prince of Lanling is fifth – unless he sings my little brother’s song, then he’s first for sure!”

“I’m serious.”

Lin Yao mused, “I feel he should still be in fourth place, or maybe remain in third if he sings an excellent song from Brother? The White Swan is bound to change in the next round, and the Robot is so strong. The King of Singing should easily take the first two spots. Pufferfish has only had one performance, she’s a huge variable.”

Mom shook her head, “If the song is good, coupled with his magical voice, he may even make it to the top three… ”

Mom seemed to like the Prince of Lanling quite a lot.

“First.”

Lin Yuan said solemnly.

The family all turned to look at him.

Lin Yuan did not explain further and went upstairs.

At this time.

With the airing of the show.

Various topics about the performances of the second episode of “The Masked Singer” once again dominated the trending list on the internet!
