âWhether dictated by predictions or pessimism, everything still comes down to the competition itself in the end.
The next day.
Lin Yuan sat in Lil Goodoongâs car, heading to the music center to prepare for the third recording of âThe Masked Singerâ.
During the drive.
Lil Goodoong was quite indignant: âThose people went too far, Mr. Lin shouldnât be upset for them.â
Lin Yuan: ââ¦â
The one who was really upset was Lil Goodoong.
Lin Yuan himself didnât feel much.
Of course, Lin Yuan would read the comments online, and he even liked many of them as a guest, some of the evaluations were very objective.
Yes.
If his singing skills donât improve, he wouldnât last long in the competition, no matter how many trump cards he has, they canât cover up the deficiency in his singing skills.
But some comments are not fair!
Like what Leng Quan said on his live broadcast, Lin Yuan doesnât believe that with his professionalism, he couldnât tell anything about the third episode, he doesnât understand why he chose to play dumb.
While Lin Yuan isnât that good, he isnât that bad either. Even without the skill book from the Gold Treasure Chest to enhance his vocal skills, Lin Yuan was confident he wouldnât be eliminated in the third round.
Also, not all powerful songs require extremely high singing skills. A second-rate singing skill is enough to deliver.
For exampleâ¦
And sometimes when singing, emotion may be even more important than singing skills. Whatâs the difference between that and a singing machine, if you only have singing skills?
In any case, Lin Yuan has decided!
This episode today, heâs going to completely reverse some peopleâs impressions of his performances in the previous two episodes!
With that in mind.
The car arrived at the production team.
When Lin Yuan got out of the car wearing his mask, there was a sudden burst of cheers, far louder than the previous episode. Even the security guards nearby were startled!
âPrince of Lanling!â
âPrince of Lanling, keep going!â
âPrince of Lanling, I will always support you, I only support you today!â
âPrince of Lanling, youâre great!â
âI love you, Prince of Lanling!â
âDonât listen to the internet, just sing your song well, âBoyâ is great. Iâve downloaded it to show my support!â
âPrince of Lanling, I argued with someone over you all night!â
âI came from Sun City to support you!â
ââ¦â
Lin Yuan paused slightly.
He looked at the faces in the crowd, and suddenly had a strange feeling that heâd never had before.
If it werenât for the comments on the internet, Lin Yuan would almost doubt if heâd taken the first place in the previous competition and as a result got so much support right now.
âIt seems like Iâve overlooked something.â
The thought suddenly popped into Lin Yuanâs mind.
Last night.
When he read the comments online, he surely didnât get angry, he even liked some of the commentsâ¦
It was quite calm!
Rational!
Cool-headed!
But at this moment, listening to the cheering voices, he suddenly felt an indescribable emotion forming and rising in his chest.
Itâs not clear, not expressible.
A lot of words are stuck in his chest.
Seeing the indifferent, passionate, plain, or smiling faces in the crowd, he finally knew what he had overlooked.
He suddenly rememberedâ¦
Last night, when many people were talking down his singing, there were actually a few faint voices arguing.
He suddenly rememberedâ¦
Last night, after Leng Quan ended his live stream, someone had left a comment under âBoyâ:
âKeep singing, and I will keep listening â no matter where you sing.â
He suddenly rememberedâ¦
Last night, on the music forum, someone was repeatedly sharing âBoyâ, trying to tell more people that the song is worth listening to repeatedly.
Although such efforts seemed a little futile and even a bit ridiculous.
And the responses were not very pleasant.
The poster still stubbornly argued his point.
Back then, Lin Yuan just felt relieved, as there were still people who could appreciate his sincerity, and that was enough.
But just that was all.
But now, when he thought back on these seemingly powerless words of support, they seemed to feel completely different.
So, there are things that I completely didnât care about, but some people care so muchâ¦
So, itâs not that I wasnât upset, but others were upset for meâ¦
So, I am so important to some peopleâ¦
âTeacher Prince of Lanling.â
Tongtong came up to him, puzzled, âWhy arenât you going in?â
Lin Yuan didnât say a word, but turned around and bowed to the crowd.
What is singing?
Is it because I want to sing, so I sing?
But when this love can be felt by some people, am I still fighting alone?
At this moment, it seemed as though the sun was suddenly shining brilliantly.
His silhouette disappeared from the sight of the crowd.
â¦
Lin Yuan walked ahead in silence.
Tongtong looked at Prince of Lanling, her eyes filled with worry.
She felt that he seemed colder today than the previous two rounds, and she had a vague feeling that he was like a flame gradually burning.
This felt like a contradiction.
She bit her lip.
She didnât know how to comfort him.
It seemed that Prince of Lanling was indeed affected by some of the voices on the internet.
Rehearsalâ¦
Waitingâ¦
In the end, the Prince of Lanling didnât say a word from beginning to end, it was eerily silent.
Then came the drawing of lots.
Prince of Lanling remained silent, just shaking his head.
Tongtong understood his meaning, reached into the box and pulled out a ball.
âPrince of Lanlingâ¦â
Tongtong bitterly smiled as she revealed the order of performance in her hand.
The No.1 ball!
Today, Prince of Lanling was starting the show!
Prince of Lanling nodded, leaning against the sofa, his emotions accumulating and gradually surging.
And in Tongtongâs eyes, worry was intensifying.
Starting!
He had drawn the first performance slot!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Despite carrying immense pressure, he had to be the first one on stage, facing the audienceâs varied emotions. Seeing him, the audience would most likely think of those online comments; they might even gossip while listening to his songâ¦
This order was terrible.
Actually, whether Prince of Lanling won or lost had nothing to do with Tongtong.
If Prince of Lanling were eliminated, new singers would appear.
Tongtong would still stay on stage as an assistant manager, accompanying new singers.
But honestlyâ
Tongtong liked being with Prince of Lanling.
Although Prince of Lanling was somewhat casual in his speech, in her heart, Tongtong felt that what he said was reasonable.
Online, people said Prince of Lanlingâs sharp tongue was for gaining attention.
However, Tongtong didnât feel a trace of malice from Prince of Lanling.
When Prince of Lanling spoke about Yuan Xi, the expression hidden beneath his disguise was likely one of regret.
When he gave his opinion on Zhao Ying Ge, the expression hidden beneath his disguise was likely one of helplessness.
Would Prince of Lanling be eliminated today?
Tongtong wasnât sure, but she had faintly heard some noise.
The performance of the replacement singer during rehearsal was excellentâ¦
On TV.
The stage curtain had been lifted.
The host was controlling the scene.
At the same time.
The loudspeaker sounded a notification: âThe first singer Prince of Lanling, please get ready.â
Itâs time to startâ¦
The emotion on Lin Yuanâs face was hidden under the mask. He stood up strongly and walked towards the stage with Tongtong.
âPrince of Lanlingâ¦â
Tongtong looked at Lin Yuan, her worried gaze deepening.
âDonât worry.â
Lin Yuan spoke, his voice hinting a trace of laughter.
Tongtong was startled. This was the first thing Prince of Lanling has said to her today, and it was the first time she heard such a straightforward expression of his emotions. Is he comforting me? Shouldnât I be the one comforting him?
At this moment.
Lin Yuan had walked to the center of the stage, and no one could see that the smile under his mask had completely disappeared!
Under the stage.
The audienceâs gaze, along with countless lights, were all focused on him, accompanied by various voices.
âThe first one is Prince of Lanling?â
âItâs going to be a duet, right?â
âSounds pretty good.â
âIt just feels a bit dull after listening to it too many times.â
âItâs always the same.â
âThis guy really knows how to get attention.â
âDonât say that, I really like him.â
âMe too, I think his words make sense, itâs just that some people donât want to hear because of his different status.â
âIâll still support him even if he gets eliminated.â
âYou guys only like him because he did well in his first episode.â
ââ¦â
At the judgesâ front row, the camera captures Leng Quanâs face. As expected, he was one of the judges for the third episode.
Leng Quan even smiled at the camera.
However, the expressions of the four judges were somewhat serious, and their eyes seemed to hold some hidden worries.
In the seats for the 500 audience members, there were all sorts of human reactions.
Suddenly.
The heavy sound of drums began to play and the stage lights turned into a phantom blue. The dazzling display on stage seemed to hide a deadly intent!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
In front of the big drum, the drummer was furiously swinging his mallets, the rhythm being heavy and powerful.
Then there was a brief pause in the sound of the drums.
The sound of the pipa came through!
In the center of the stage.
Lin Yuanâs hand, which was holding the raised microphone, suddenly tightened. In the close-up given by the camera, even his knuckles were turning pale!
At the same time.
His voice roared like a cannonball, resulting in a loud explosion!
âThe boundless sea laughs!â
âCoast to coast, tides surge!â
âDrifting with the waves, mark this moment!â
As if some force was gripping the back of their necks, everyoneâs scalp went numb and goosebumps appeared!
Like a quick camera pan.
The scenes from the doorway and the previous night flashed through Lin Yuanâs mind.
His hoarse and heroic voice was amplified to mimic a fireworkâs energetic burst. His emotions, which had been simmering unknowingly, finally explodedâ
âHeaven laughs!â
âWorldly tides surge!â
âWho wins or loses, Only the heavens know!â
The beat of the drums stirred everyoneâs hearts, the strum of the pipa struck everyoneâs nerves, and the singing resounded in everyoneâs eardrums.
Let the dragons roar and the tigers howl-
In the silent place, heard the startling thunder!!!
