“I’m dying of laughter!”
“Brothers, can you hear it? This song is clearly a shoutout from the original Perennial Runner-up!”
“Expressing love for Xian Yu through song, really?”
“The bootlicking has begun!”
“Other singers, take notes! Sneak in a changed lyric when you have the chance. Lick boots discreetly!”
“I’m kind of moved by the latter part.”
“The lyrics are not only self-expression for Xian Yu but also for Chen Zhiyu. He sings out many experiences of both individuals.”
“The song is pretty catchy.”
“I suddenly feel a bit sympathetic towards Teacher Yin Dong. After ‘Change Myself’ got official promotion, it obliterated Teacher Yin Dong’s work and won first place that season, and now this competition has brought up that song again.”
“Yin Dong: This Xian Yu is messing with my mentality!”“Chen Zhiyu: Using my own punchline, leaving others without punchlines.”
“Fei Yang: What about me??”
“…”
The camera focuses on Fei Yang’s face.
This round, Fei Yang, who isn’t competing, has a resigned look on his face.
It’s genuine resignation.
If you want to sing, just sing, why involve the innocent…
You’re definitely not the Perennial Runner-up anymore.
Because the current Perennial Runner-up is me!
Damn!
Fei Yang strives to stay strong.
And next comes the audience voting segment.
The songwriter appears to be deep in thoughts.
Looking at the composition standards of the stage, the melody of “Our Song” is at par with the previous three songs, a typical performance by top musicians.
But the clever part of the song is that it gave the audience a lot of space for imagination!
Lets them be entertained.
To enjoy the melody.
And even brings out a storyline!
Under such circumstances, would the result still be a mystery?
The answer is:
No suspense.
Sun Mengmeng’s votes this round: 40.13 million
Chen Zhiyu’s votes this round: 41.11 million
Total votes for this round have broken through 80 million.
The vote difference between the two sides is not shockingly big.
But in a situation where there’s little difference in song and performance quality, the story-rich lyrics of “Our Song” became the final weight tipping the scales!
For this round!
Xian Yu and Chen Zhiyu win!
When An Hong announced the result, Chen Zhiyu threw his fists into the air, shouting loudly, “Thank you, Teacher Admirable Fish, for giving me the opportunity to sing this song and lets me experience the feeling of being number one again!”
The whole audience burst into laughter!
The original Perennial Runner-up!
He has completely let loose!
Sun Mengmeng’s rabbit ears are not standing anymore, he looks at Yin Dong pitifully. Yin Dong, as always, is poker-faced, but the screen comments in front have exploded!
Countless people are typing “2222222222”!
The entire screen is filled with “the spirit of 2 has descended once again”.
Meanwhile!
The major forums are excitedly discussing the competition.
Suddenly.
Someone excitedly says, “Solved the case! The mastermind behind Fei Yang always getting second place is Yin Dong!”
At that moment.
Netizens all understood:
“Hahaha, you’re so wicked!”
“So Fei Yang has always been picking up the tab for Yin Dong!”
“The actual source of continually being second place is actually Yin Dong!”
“We all owe King Fei an apology!”
“King Fei: No wonder I always come second. Yin Dong, so it’s you!”
“Yin Dong: Oops, I’ve been exposed!”
“…”
Fei Yang came second in two Battles of the Gods, but many people ignored one thing:
The two times Fei Yang came second, the collaborating songwriter was Yin Dong!
In this competition.
After Yin Dong and Sun Mengmeng’s collaboration lost to Xian Yu again, Yin Dong was visited by this “spirit of 2”.
The fact proves:
The one who is destined to come second when encountering Xian Yu is not necessarily King Fei, it could be Yin Dong.
Otherwise, how would you explain that Yin Dong, even after changing to collaborate with another singer, still comes in at second place when encountering Xian Yu?
“But in the Final of ‘The Masked Singer’, there’s nothing wrong with Fei Yang coming in second, is there?”
“So the conclusion is: In the circle of singers, Fei Yang is still the Perennial Runner-up. But in the circle of songwriters, Teacher Yin Dong is also a hidden Perennial Runner-up.”
Everyone agreed.
Thus, Teacher Yin Dong embarked on a road of no return.
…
Of the five battles, only two have taken place so far.
The remaining three battles are still full of interest.
The diverse styles of music on this stage cover almost everything!
Who expected Yin Dong to write the brainwashing and adorable ‘Song of Rabbits’? What else can’t happen?
Pop…
Rock…
Ballad…
Ancient style…
Electronic…
The songwriters’ unbridled creativity, combined with the performers’ renditions, deliver diverse visual and auditory feasts to the audience!
Among them.
The fifth round of battle.
The song from “Maestro”, or “Mistress” Zheng Jing, won the highest number of votes for this round of competition:
52.33 million votes!
It’s a very casual song, called ‘Winter Plum’.
The perspective of the lyrics is based on the “winter plum”.
It expresses the stubborn spirit of winter plums braving the frost and snow, standing tall in the face of harsh natural tests, and the whole song is filled with a sense of tenacity and unyielding.
However…
When facing this result, Zheng Jing appeared somewhat dazed.
She shook her head: “I didn’t expect people to like this song so much. In my songs, the creative method of this song is relatively risky, with many melodies not following the traditional path, twisting and turning, somewhat experimental…”
Music is sometimes full of surprises.
Some songs that songwriters and singers think will definitely be successful end up with a lukewarm public reaction.
While some songs that songwriters and singers don’t pay much attention to turns out to be unexpectedly popular.
Even a songwriter at the level of Maestro can’t fully control such outcomes.
And this live broadcast, with Zheng Jing crushing her opponent, comes to a close.
Behind the scenes.
The director, Tong Shuwen, came over and smiled at everyone, “Thanks to all the teachers for your wonderful performances. Tomorrow, Sunday, we will start a new live broadcast. Based on the backstage data of the program, we have replicated ‘The Masked Singer’s’ success!”
Everyone clapped.
Tong Shuwen continued, “After tomorrow’s broadcast ends, we will announce the rules for the next round of competition. There will likely be many surprises waiting for everyone, please be mentally prepared, all songwriters and singers.”
Everyone stunned for a moment.
They all knew this program team is good at stirring thing up.
If Tong Shuwen himself says the future competition is full of surprises, then there is probably going to be some surprise…
What would it be?
No one knows.
The broadcast ended amidst the audience’s reluctance.
However, on the internet.
The discussion about this episode of the program becomes more lively.
Upon returning home.
Yin Dong glanced at the trending search and then saw the heart-stabbing words at second position on the hot topics list:
#Perennial Runner-up Yin Dong#
The top trending search is: #We owe Fei Yang an apology#
“…”
Yin Dong suddenly felt the threatening aura of the silly netizens. He finally understood what Fei Yang was experiencing. These silly netizens really know how to mess with people’s mindset-
They are there but cannot be blocked, so damn annoying!
