The show continued.
Everyone was still discussing the events that had just transpired.
The incident where Li Yuan presented his face for Mo Yan to slap had instantly gone viral across the internet.
It was also the biggest meme to emerge from the show so far.
It was a meme created by Li Yuan, a top influencer himself.
Next up was the competition for the winners' bracket. The person most favored to win the King of Singers title this week was Hong Long.
After all, he had demonstrated exceptional vocal prowess from the very beginning.
And after his performance of another technically challenging song, the audience's calls for him to be crowned King of Singers grew even louder.
"Hong Long is awesome! If Hong Long isn't the King of Singers this week, I'll not only eat my keyboard, but my monitor too!!"
Music critic Guan Xian was so excited he almost jumped out of his seat.
Hong Long's performance was incredibly stable. His final song showcased his mastery of falsetto to perfection. How could An Ye Tu and Qi Qiu Nu Wang possibly win against such skill?
Guan Xian felt he could finally shed his reputation as a jinx. He couldn't help but hum a tune happily.
His viewers were also flooding the chat with comments like "Hong Long is awesome," and "Damn, he really showed off."
However, his smugness didn't last long.
Guan Xian was stunned.
Because An Ye Tu took the stage.
A completely new timbre emerged.
It wasn't just the timbre.
It was also the astonishing technique.
Listen Rain's latest song, "Moonlight," a song of high difficulty.
The transitions between chest voice and falsetto, the hair-raising vocal runs, and the emotion that blended chivalry with romantic affection.
An Ye Tu displayed his incredibly proficient technique this time, skills that left everyone in disbelief!
When the final votes were cast.
An Ye Tu won by a significant margin, retaining his King of Singers title.
Those who had previously claimed he only used his unique timbre to get by, only sang simple songs, and couldn't hit high notes, were all silenced.
Listen Rain's fans erupted in cheers. They were finally certain that An Ye Tu would sing a new song by Listen Rain every single week!
The King of Singers show aired twice a month, with two songs per episode.
This meant that as long as An Ye Tu wasn't eliminated, Listen Rain would have a minimum of four songs released each month.
"An Ye Tu is awesome!!"
"He truly is the one chosen by Listen Rain. I believe this is just the beginning, and An Ye Tu will bring us even more stunning works later on!"
"Exactly. Anyway, I'm supporting An Ye Tu. I may not understand vocal technique, but I trust Listen Rain!"
"What are you waiting for? Just support An Ye Tu. He's won two consecutive championships. For the next King of Singers, I'll bet on An Ye Tu without thinking."
Based on the two episodes.
An Ye Tu had sung new songs by Listen Rain in both.
This also allowed Listen Rain's fans to quickly find a sense of community.
Before, some people thought that Listen Rain's song releases would slow down after he won the city championship and became a Song God.
But now, everyone felt that Listen Rain might be releasing songs even faster than before.
Because the city championship had two songs a month, while the King of Singers had four songs a month!
This was undoubtedly exciting news for Listen Rain's fans.
...
After the show concluded.
Music critic Guan Xian looked extremely embarrassed and remained silent.
"Boss Guan, why don't you get some water? I'm afraid you won't be able to swallow."
"Hurry up and eat, you jinx!"
"Boss Guan's performance is still as consistent as ever. He's successfully predicted correctly twice in a row."
"Successfully?"
"Of course, successfully jinxed it, which is also a success."
"Boss Guan's persona remains strong. I thought his persona would easily crumble, but after all these years, he's still the king of jinxing. This is something I truly never expected."
"Boss Guan's reverse predictions are forever god-tier!"
Guan Xian looked at the barrage of comments in the live stream.
He wanted to retort but didn't know how.
However, eating a keyboard was out of the question. Over the years, he had already owed his audience tons of shit, hundreds of keyboards, and hundreds of computer monitors.
"I'll owe you guys for now. Time's up for today, see you next episode!"
After saying that.
He immediately signed off with a burst of light.
He was gone.
...
After the second episode of "Masked Singer" aired.
It surprised many people.
The episode had fantastic entertainment value and became a hot topic of conversation among netizens.
The numerous plot twists and moments of being proven wrong were thoroughly satisfying to watch.
An Ye Tu, facing doubts, performed the high-difficulty song "Moonlight," refreshing everyone's perception of him.
Wu Mian Qi Shi suffered a loss in his first match, then exploded with power in the revival round, astonishing everyone.
Top influencer Li Yuan, with his "original" song, took to the King of Singers stage, wanting to shed his influencer identity and enter the entertainment industry, but it ended before it even began.
Moreover, his original song persona collapsed, turning him into the laughingstock of the entire internet.
While short video platforms were Li Yuan's main territory, most of the trending videos were about Li Yuan's "memorable moments."
"Teacher, this math Olympiad problem was indeed done by me."
"Then let me test you."
"Okay!"
"What is one plus one?"
"Is this the addition that involves counting on fingers? I really don't know about that..."
Countless hilarious short videos were created by netizens with their wild imaginations.
...
In a luxurious apartment.
Li Yuan leaned back on the sofa, scrolling through his phone.
He had never imagined he would become this famous.
But he also never imagined becoming famous in this way.
Regret!
Why couldn't he just remain an influencer on the short video platform? Why did he have to impulsively go on the King of Singers show?
If he could choose, Li Yuan would definitely stay far away from such professional stages.
He felt in his pocket.
And pulled out an empty cigarette pack.
Out of cigarettes?
With reporters everywhere outside, he couldn't go down to buy cigarettes himself, and his assistant was at the company dealing with the fallout.
So, he decided to order takeout.
Then, in the chat window, he typed, "Can you conveniently bring me a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes?"
After doing so, he waited for the delivery rider's reply.
Not long after, the delivery rider replied: "Bring your mom, asking me to bring things every day. I'm fucking done!"
After reading the message, he was completely dumbfounded.
Were delivery riders this bold nowadays?
His already unpleasant mood became even more gloomy.
...
The popularity of King of Singers continued to soar.
November was nearing its end.
Listen Rain had still secured the number one spot on the monthly charts.
December was fast approaching.
With just one month left, Listen Rain was on the verge of achieving twelve consecutive months at number one. Although Listen Rain had already become a Song God after winning the city championship, everyone was still paying attention to his twelve-month winning streak.
However, this final month was shaping up to be a battle of titans.
Song God Fang Lingyu's "Asking the Sword to Seek Immortals" soundtrack would be released alongside the TV drama in December!
In addition to Song God Fang Lingyu, many ace producers had also announced on their official Weibo accounts that they would be releasing new songs in December.
December was the final month.
Fang Lingyu wasn't intentionally trying to steal the spotlight. His TV soundtrack had been scheduled for December for a long time; it was just a coincidence.
But for others, it seemed like an attempt to prevent Listen Rain from achieving twelve consecutive wins.
After all, it wasn't a coincidence that they chose to release their songs right before Listen Rain's impending twelve-month streak. It was clear what the ultimate reason was.
Just as everyone was discussing whether Listen Rain could achieve his twelve-month winning streak.
Amidst the trending topics dominated by the Chinese music scene, a piece of news from the film industry suddenly appeared.
#Screenwriter Jiang Nan's second film "Pegasus," its premiere is set to begin tomorrow. A comedy racing film that will make you laugh until you cry!#
Screenwriter Jiang Nan's movie is set to be released tomorrow!
