All-rounder Artist

Finally, the selection is over!

Twenty composers have chosen the twenty singers they wish to collaborate with.

All ten Kings and Queens of Song have been selected.

The remaining thirty singers, all top-leaguers of the Qin, Qi, Chu, and Yan music circles, were not chosen by any composers.

The camera zooms in.

Their expressions are a complicated mix of embarrassment and disappointment.

Only on “Our Song” stage could such a scene of first-class singer being ignored occur.

This program also used this scene to showcase the priority of composers:

In front of top composers, even top singers can only passively wait to be selected.

Next up is the group battle stage.

Twenty teams of composers and singers mean twenty songs, which are impossible to record in a single episode.

The production team plans to record it in two episodes.

Ten songs will be performed in each episode.

Ten songs would be divided into five competitions.

They would be performed in the form of head-to-head battles.

However, the production crew did not immediately reveal the list of battle participants. Instead, the composers were first instructed to take their chosen singers into the prearranged rooms.

“Everyone, relax.”

Anhong said with a smile, “The upcoming battles may be tense, but no one will be eliminated in the early stages of the show.”

Laughter rippled through the crowd.

“Let’s move.”

The composers, each with their selected singers, entered their rooms amid the jealous gaze of the thirty singers who were not selected.

Chen Zhiyu followed Lin Yuan at a measured pace.

Lin Yuan looked back at Chen Zhiyu:

“Are you nervous?”

Chen Zhiyu cautiously said, “I’m afraid I might hold Teacher Admirable Fish back, after all, my skills are not outstanding…”

Although no one would be eliminated in the early stages of the show, Chen Zhiyu was still anxious that his lack of skill could cause Admirable Fish to lose the battle.

“Relax.”

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said, “This is an easy-going song.”

Chen Zhiyu nodded, but his nervousness didn’t dissipate.

This competition is not necessarily won by those with stronger composing skills.

The result of the competition has a lot to do with the singers chosen by the composers.

Is Yang Zhongming awesome?

But if the weakest singer in the entire competition was assigned to Yang Zhongming, could he still guarantee his victory?

It is too suspenseful.

While Chen Zhiyu was not the weakest of the first-class singers, his overall strength was only mediocre amongst the singers, so it was understandable that he was worried about becoming a burden to Admirable Fish.

Lin Yuan fell silent.

It wasn’t until they were in the room that he turned seriously to Chen Zhiyu and said, “Have you ever heard a saying?”

“What?”

“There are no useless heroes, only trash summoners!”

Chen Zhiyu: ???

Seeing that Chen Zhiyu didn’t understand, Lin Yuan expressed it in a different way:

“There’s no perfect music in the world, nor is there a strongest singer. The purpose of this stage is to let the right person sing the right song.”

Lin Yuan planned to select singers based on the style of the song, rather than their achievements.

Since Chen Zhiyu was suitable for the song he was preparing next, he should naturally let Chen Zhiyu sing it.

This has nothing to do with whether Chen Zhiyu is a first-class singer or not.

When the song doesn’t dictate the singer and anyone who sings it can achieve a decent result, Lin Yuan would also take into consideration people like Sun Yaohuo.

It’s worth mentioning that.

Lin Yuan’s room is pink.

When he walked in, he felt shocked by the “pinkness.”

Chen Zhiyu chuckled: “Are the other teachers’ rooms also pink?”

“No, each room is a different color.”

The tour guide staff laughed: “Teacher Admirable Fish was too cold in ‘The Masked Singer’, so the production team wanted to use this warm tone to balance it a bit.”

Lin Yuan: “…”

Of all the warm tones, why did it have to be pink? It felt like walking into Big Yaoyao’s room, all pink and messy.

…

Not arguing about the color issue.

Once he was seated, Lin Yuan took out the song he had prepared: “Here’s the song you need to practice.”

“Okay!”

Chen Zhiyu’s breathing was slightly hurried.

This was the second time Chen Zhiyu had obtained one of Xian Yu’s compositions since “Change Myself”!

He was extremely excited!

But when Chen Zhiyu saw the song title, he was a bit taken aback, “This song title…”

Lin Yuan said, “It fits the occasion.”

The name of this song is “Our Song”, the original singer is the earth singer Wang Lihong!

It’s exactly the same as the name of the show.

Chen Zhiyu’s voice is very suitable for singing jazz hip-hop and rock and roll, but not heavy rock, but the relatively cheerful type.

Obviously, Wang Lihong’s “Our Song” is very suitable for Chen Zhiyu.

Previously, Lin Yuan gave Chen Zhiyu “Change Myself”, which was also another work of Wang Lihong.

Chen Zhiyu nodded and looked at the lyrics. When he saw a certain line in the lyrics, he suddenly asked tentatively, “Can I slightly tweak the lyrics?”

“Which line?”

“Just a little bit…”

“You decide.”

On stage, improvisation by singers is understandable by Lin Yuan as stages and recordings are different.

Moreover, Lin Yuan himself made a small adjustment to the lyrics of “Our Song”.

Mainly in the English words part.

As the original singer is Chinese, there would always be one or two English words in the song.

Lin Yuan didn’t think it was necessary.

Because it’s not quite suitable for this stage.

The English lyrics in the original song included the names of Wang Lihong’s other songs, which could only be sung by Wang Lihong himself.

At this point.

The loudspeaker in the room suddenly aired host Anhong’s voice,

“The first round of grouping for the first episode is complete. The first round of the first episode is Teacher Wu Long and singer Li Ang Ziyuan versus Teacher Mike and singer Jiang Kui…”

The singer selected by Wu Long was Liang Ziyuan, also known as the Robot.

And Mike, who was a composer, not weaker than Wu Long, had selected singer Jiang Kui.

In the composers’ preliminary selection.

In the Yu Dynasty only Jiang Kui and Chen Zhiyu were selected.

Anhong’s voice continued,

“The second round of the first episode is Teacher Yin Dong and singer Sun Mengmeng versus Teacher Xian Yu and singer Chen Zhiyu…”

Chen Zhiyu was surprised, “The opponent is Rabbit?”

Sun Mengmeng appeared as a rabbit in “The Masked Singer” and competed against Zhao Ying Ge.

Although she lost the competition, Sun Mengmeng’s strength was very well demonstrated in that match.

In addition.

Lin Yuan had critiqued Sun Mengmeng before. Sun Mengmeng didn’t resist and her fans were quite Zen-like, they didn’t heavily attack Prince Lanling.

But.

When the singers apologised to Xian Yu in the end, Sun Mengmeng also joined the apology squad, which seemed to suggest she was a soft-spoken female singer with a rising career.

However…

It was puzzling to many people why Yin Dong, as the Maestro, did not choose the King or Queen of Singing, but chose Sun Mengmeng, who wasn’t the strongest.

On the other side.

Yin Dong also heard the announcement on the loudspeaker.

He showed a smile, “It’s Xian Yu again, we are almost becoming old rivals…”

He collaborated with Fei Yang and participated in the War of Gods twice in a row, and both times they had lost to Xian Yu.

Now in “Our Song”, he was once again up against Xian Yu.

At this moment.

Yin Dong felt that the show’s producers were stirring things up, this match-up was not random.

Off to the side.

Little rabbit Sun Mengmeng weakly asked, “Teacher Yin Dong, why did you choose me…”

Sun Mengmeng was not the strongest among this batch of singers.

With Yin Dong’s composition skills and experience, he could have easily chosen the King or Queen of Singing, and they generally wouldn’t refuse his offer!

Fei Yang, for instance, was a good friend of Yin Dong’s, and they got along well privately. Overlord Fei Yang’s strength was self-evident, he was a top singer on this stage…

Yet Yin Dong did not choose Fei Yang!

This was probably the most surprising moment in the show since Xian Yu chose Chen Zhiyu.

“This is what Xian Yu taught me…”

As always, Yin Dong was expressionless.

Sun Mengmeng was stunned, “What?”

Yin Dong remained expressionless, “Choose the right one, not the expensive one.”

PS: I didn’t mean to be a Polluted White pigeon. I had to bail yesterday due to some unavoidable reasons. I won’t explain the specifics. I’ll try to do more tonight. There was more narration in this episode’s start, but songs will hold the main part going forward. This part was meant to set a joyful atmosphere as “The Masked Singer” was a bit depressing. I’ll try not to write about the villains in this novel, so the writing continues.
