“Let us invite our first contestant on stage.”
The stage lights dimmed as the spotlights focused on the normally dressed young man who was walking to the middle of the circr stage, and in his hands was a guitar.
The contestants who were on the show were all pre-auditioned beforehand in their own districts. They didn’t necessarily have to sing well, but they did have to have a certain level of musicalpetency. Otherwise, it would have been a huge waste of time for the judges if they were to audition every single contestant.
Furthermore, some of them might even sing terribly, bringing down the quality of the program.
“This handsome young man here looks a little nervous,” the TV host said from the side.
The audience members all startedughing.
“Good evening, Teachers. My name is Huang Fei. I’m 26 this year. Ie from Ji Lin and I am a frencer,” Huang Fei said, sping onto his guitar tightly.
“You look like a very energetic young man,” Zhao Li said into her microphone.
“Thank you, Teacher,” Huang Fei replied in a very respectful manner.
“Alright, you may begin anytime you’refortable,” Huo Jian Xiang said.
Instead of starting to sing, Huang Fei looked as if he wanted to say something. Thereafter, he clenched his teeth, mustering up all the courage he had. “Teachers, before I start singing, I just want to say something.”
Although Liu Ying Dong had been angered by Lin Fan before he got on stage, he appeared calm and collected after walking out onto the stage. “Alright, say what you want to say,” Liu Ying Dong said.
Huang Fei straightened his posture, “Ie from a small district from Ji Lin and I grew up in a single parent family. My father passed away when I was a little kid, and my mother struggled to bring me up. When I was fifteen, my mum had contracted an illness and it was around the same time my passion for music reignited. I am here in thispetition to give my very best and I hope to be able to win enough money to pay for my mother’s medical bills.”
“Of course, I know that using music to earn money isn’t the ideal music in my heart. But thispared to my mother’s health is way less important. I hope that she’ll be able to see the day when I get married and have children. For someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything good in her life, I hope that I’ll be able to bring her that joy.”
After Huang Fei finished saying that, the audience members all propped themselves up.
As a female, Zhao Li was moved to tears after hearing Huang Fei recount his story, “I never imagined you woulde with that story. What a strong mother-figure. Although music is pure in itself, you have a heart for your mother, and that is more important than anything else.”
Apuse!
The crowd went wild.
Online.
“Damn, Zhao Li is so sexy. I think I am in love.”
“I can’t imagine the things that this guy has gone through. If he doesn’t sing too badly, I’m going to support him all the way.”
“What Zhao Li said was good.”
Lin Fan furrowed his brows as he looked at Huang Fei, analyzing his clothing and the guitar that he was holding between his hands.
Although he wasn’t a detective, he could tell that the guitar wasn’t an ordinary one.
The brand of the guitar was a world-renowned one, and the price of the guitar was probably in the range of the ten thousands.
If his hunch was correct, there was something seriously wrong with what he was seeing and his story.
At that moment, Huang Fei started his performance, “The song I want to sing is ‘My future’.”
He started ying his guitar.
The three teachers were absorbed in his music.
In their opinion, Huang Fei’s voice wasn’t too bad. His voice was good, but there were definitely things that he could work on. With sufficient training, it had the potential of bing better.
Damn, the first contestant is so talented already. This show is really good.”
“Yeah. If every single contestant is like this, our ears will be blessed.”
“What a beautiful sound. His voice has the ability to cut through, and there is emotion in his voice.”
“Eh, Master Lin is staring at him. It looks like this contestant is about to be selected.”
At that moment, Lin Fan was staring at the contestant who was on stage, and he was cursing in his heart.
The first contestant pulled off such a good move in telling his tragic backstory.
However, something wasn’t right. Both the parents of the contestant were still alive and healthy. The only thing that was true was that he was from Ji Lin.
The song ended.
Huang Fei took a bow towards the teachers, thereafter looking at them with expectant eyes.
“I like your voice, and I am moved by your backstory. Take me as your teacher, and I will teach you well, and maybe, you can even win thispetition,” Zhao Li said.
“You sing well. Although there are some parts that need work, you are perfect from a professional perspective. Your voice cuts through the crowd and is unique. However, Zhao Li has selected you already, so I won’t steal you.”
Huo Jian Xiang didn’t press his buzzer. He had a more stringent requirement for a singing voice. Although this contestant’s voice was prating, he also had other criteria which his voice didn’t meet.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes were on Lin Fan. They didn’t know if Master Lin was going to press his buzzer. Zhao Li thought that Master Lin was going to steal the contestant away from her hands.
Everyone wanted to see that catfight badly.
“Master Lin, what do you think? Do you have anything to say to this contestant?” Zhao Li asked Lin Fan entrically.
Lin Fan chuckled, thereafter straightening himself up, “Before I get to that, I want to say that it is okay for females to be emotionally moved by a touching story. However, we must be logical over here. What do you think about the contestant’s backstory?”
The crowd was stunned. They didn’t know what Master Lin was getting at.
From their perspective, the backstory of the contestant was simply too touching. Some of them even started tearing, sympathizing with his recount of himself.
Zhao Li didn’t know where Lin Fan was getting at, but she still replied. “His story was so heartbreaking. I want to help him, plus his voice is good. It’s the voice that I like.”
After hearing what she had to say, Lin Fan waved his hands, “This contestant, you can pack your bags and go home. You aren’t good for thispetition.”
After the crowd heard what Lin Fan said, they werepletely dumbfounded.
What was going on?
The workers were all perplexed. The program had just started, and there was already something happening.
Huang Fei looked back at Lin Fan, his eyes showing signs of panic. He looked unsteady as if he had been seen through by him.
“Teacher Lin, what do you mean? I don’t know what conflict you have with this contestant, but you can’t just follow your personal judgment to ask a contestant with dreams to leave the stage. Although you may agree with it, I will never agree with it,” Zhao Li said.
After saying that, Zhao Li stood up immediately, staring at Lin Fan. Her expression clearly said that she wanted to fight with Lin Fan.
The people who were watching the live broadcast all started discussing the matter.
“Zhao Li is just too good.”
“Yea, on what grounds does Teacher Lin have to kick this guy out?”
“Does Teacher Lin have some kind of prior conflict with the contestant?”
“The contestant sang pretty well, and Teacher Lin just asked him to leave. This isn’t right.”
“Why are you guys panicking? Master Lin definitely has his reasons for saying that. You guys should hear him out before ming him.”
The people who had asked for the people to wait for Master Lin’s exnation were his fans. They had been repeatedly shocked by Master Lin in the past, and they had sworn never to sneer at Master Lin again to prevent getting shocked again.
