Chapter 164 Chinese Style Talent #A Young Man in His Twenties Guards the Nation's Border#
"what are you doing?"

Ikeno frowned and asked a question.

"What do you mean, what did I do? I didn't do anything."

Shi Jin replied with a slightly guilty conscience.

"Makes your butt look big? Pushing against people like that, why don't you give way to our international friends at all?"

Shi Jin's face turned bright red with embarrassment. It was quite a secret. Was he going to keep staring at me?
What is he trying to do with me?!

Fanxia, ​​who had been "inadvertently" pushed aside by Shi Jinwei, blinked, looking a little bewildered.

Hmm... it's definitely quite powerful.

Crash.

The voice of Teacher Shi being interviewed by Sheng Ning can be heard from ahead: "Thank you, Teacher Chi... for helping me write this song. Without him, there would be no such work. I hope everyone likes it."

Sheng Ning said in a sarcastic tone: "Teacher Chi, you really do have 'talent,' huh?"

"Ah."

"You sing very well too, no need to be so modest."

"Uh... the music is well done."

"..."

Sheng Ning: ? ? ?
Damn, I give up. Can you at least say something? Otherwise, it makes it seem like I'm targeting Ikeno!
Although, I was indeed targeting him.

"Um…"

Shi Jin listened intently to what was being said on stage. Teacher Shi was about to return. She frowned, feeling conflicted. She felt that it was a bit embarrassing to suddenly invite Chi Ye to sing, but she was also tempted not to.

What to do.

"I won't give you the song unless you sign it."

Just then, Chi Ye spoke up, without any politeness: "Sign up, and I'll give you the song."

"clamp?!"

Shi Jinwei was stunned for two seconds upon hearing the sound.

You won't give it to me if I don't use the clamp?

Do I really have to use pliers?!
She was furious: "I won't use the clamps! I don't want your song anymore! You've insulted me, Ikeno!"

After she finished speaking, she was still not satisfied and looked at Chi Ye with a puzzled expression: "No... I don't understand, what kind of special fetish do you have? Do you really like listening to me pleasuring you?"

"Ikeno, don't go too far! You're bullying me!"

Chiye: "?"

He frowned at Sister Pliers: "Are you out of your mind? I'm talking about signing! Signing the contract, not pliers. Why should I give you the song if you don't sign? Are you my mother?"

Shi Jinwei: If I really had a rebellious son like you, I'd probably be so angry I'd die in the delivery room.

"Go away, go away, go away, don't block my communication with international friends."

Ikeno found her a bit of an eyesore, as she was slowing down his lottery draw.

Yes, he has been trying to learn about the two international friends' English skills, mainly using beginner and intermediate scrolls. But as he expected, no matter how many times he tries to refresh the scrolls, he only gets all sorts of useless skills, or those related to entertainment, but none of them are related to language or physical abilities.

Oh dear, is the probability really that low?
As he frowned in thought, Fansia had already gotten up to go on stage, leaving only Chantemo as the "target".

Suddenly, Ikeno had an idea, and he began to try using advanced scrolls.

You have obtained Shan Timo's [Divorce Handbook] (Advanced)

Chantilly has been divorced four times and is extremely skilled in divorce tactics.

【You got...】

You have obtained Shan Timo's [Rhythm and Genre of English Lyrics] (Advanced)

[A compilation of various English song lyrics materials, essential for learning English songs.]

It works!
Ikeno's eyes lit up. As long as he didn't try to draw a language skill, but rather a skill related to a song, he was sure to win easily.

Having found the "BUG" pattern, Ikeno no longer held back and began to unleash his attacks on Chantemo.

By the time Vansia left the stage, he had basically mastered all the techniques and skills of creating English music, including English itself.

comfortable.

At this point, with the last singer having finished performing, the fifth episode of "Singer 2025" was nearing its end.

This episode features the most nerve-wracking ranking segment since the start of "Singer".

—Especially Chino and Chantimour, one is a newly joined singer who has just joined the competition, and the other was previously considered the No. 1 boss of "Singer".

The competition was originally a foregone conclusion, but after the release of "Huo Yuanjia," everything became questionable.

Will Ikeno be able to successfully take on the challenge?

If it succeeds, wouldn't Chantilly have to "temporarily leave" the singer stage?
This is too ridiculous.

This is what everyone is thinking right now, including the production team.

……

"What should I do? How do I fix this?"

Backstage.

The assistant director of the program looked at the chief director with a pained expression: "Before we invited Ikeno, we didn't expect that he would draw Chantemo right away, and we didn't expect... he... he can actually make that kind of song."

"The stage effects for 'Huo Yuanjia' were so amazing, I feel like Chantilly has no chance."

Yes, Huo Yuanjia's music and stage effects met expectations. When Chi Ye finished singing this song, the hashtag #Huo Yuanjia once challenged the great powers with his fists, and now Chi Ye solos Timo# appeared on Weibo's trending topics list.

It's very popular and has already reached the top of the trending searches. The one below it is #Steffen's "Devil from Heaven"#.

The third one is #IkenoTalent#.

—It's all related to Ikeno; Ikeno's personal popularity has exploded today.

"...Can we see the voting results now?"

Compared to the assistant director, the director was much calmer. He... he was the director of the film "See You".

Therefore, he wouldn't find it strange if Ikeno did anything bizarre.

got used to.

"I can't see it, but I can make a rough estimate... The main thing is that Chantemo's performance today was just so-so, not particularly good. He didn't even show his signature whistle. I feel like he really needs to be relegated this time."

"So what if we're moved?" The director grinned. "It's not like we're really eliminated. We can just come back in the revival round."

Deputy director:"……"

"You're right."

The production team of "Singer" follows the tradition of their ancestors, and the rules are indeed "Schrödinger's cat" style. Not to mention, they had already considered the "cruel" competition system and the unexpected events that might occur in this episode.

The qualifying rounds, also known as the revival rounds, are designed to prevent such unexpected events.

Therefore, Chantilly was "eliminated," but not completely eliminated, as seen with Taobao.

"Inviting Ikeno was the right decision."

The director shook his head and sighed, "How come I never noticed before? He was hiding it so well."

Assistant Director: "...Goujian, that's normal."

"Alright, I have to go in now. The answer is about to be revealed."

The director glanced at his watch, and after realizing it was almost time, he waited for the staff to provide the statistics before stepping backstage.

And this moment.

Backstage.

The atmosphere was tense and oppressive.

Of course, the tension wasn't just due to the showdown between Ikeno and Chantilly, but also because the other groups of singers were also about to reveal their answers.

—After "Singer" enters the ranking competition, the singers' rankings will change from the previous monotonous voting to a points system.

The so-called points system is the reward for the winner of each group.

And... to be honest, losing a 1v1 solo match, especially on this kind of stage, is a very embarrassing thing. Even if you're not eliminated, it's still a bit shameful.

If you encounter someone with many enemies, you'll be talked about for a lifetime off the field.

"Teacher Na, Hua Yichen's group - Teacher Na 302 votes, Hua Yichen 201 votes."

"The teacher wins a point."

The teacher's expression remained unchanged, maintaining a dignified and composed demeanor. She even said to Hua Yichen, "Little Hua, don't worry, you actually performed very well today. My song had an advantage." Hua Yichen forced a smile and said, "Sister Ying, you're too modest."

Yingjie, why aren't you going?

Fuck you, you only picked on me, huh?!

If you're so capable, go find Shantimo and Fancia!

What a waste!

Hua Yichen cursed inwardly, but her mood worsened after hearing the vote count for the next group.

"In the Shi Jinwei and Shi Daifu group, Shi Jinwei received 310 votes and Shi Daifu received 399 votes."

The director looked at Teacher Shi and said, "Teacher Shi has earned one point."

“…Thank you.” Teacher Shi nodded.

Pliers Girl gritted her teeth.

Although I had expected it and knew I couldn't beat "The Devil from Heaven," I was still a little discouraged when the answer was finally revealed.

It’s all Chino’s fault! !

She glared fiercely at Ikeno, who was lost in thought.

Chiye: "?"

Are you sick? Stare at me and give me a piece of your mind.

He was still thinking about what snacks to bring back for the Empress Dowager... The most famous local food in Hunan is spicy food... Can the Empress Dowager eat spicy food?

Subsequently, the other groups also finished their announcements.

The only player who received a bye, Vansia, automatically earned one point.

However, the show's director also stated, "The next episode will be the second round of competition, so please be prepared."

Everyone was silent.

The next "Unveiling/Challenge" segment will be in episode seven. Episode six... which is the next episode, will feature eight singers. Someone has to choose Fansia, and they really need to be prepared.

With that in mind, everyone's eyes fell on Chino and Chantim.

These two are different from the others. Although they get points for winning, those who lose have to go to the qualifying rounds to play again...

"Go ahead and read it. Why are you looking at me?"

Chi Ye noticed the director's gaze and, "knowing what was going on," looked at the camera: "Oh... okay, let's start with a commercial break. After the break, it'll be even more exciting!"

"Haha."

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere eased slightly.

But then, the director looked at the two of them seriously: "You two... your votes are very close."

Neither Chantim nor Ikeno said anything.

The former actually had expectations, because the explosive effect of "Huo Yuanjia" and the legendary music were enough for people both inside and outside the industry to hear and see the level of skill.

To be honest, even without Ikeno, based on Stevie's performance today, she wouldn't dare say she was guaranteed a win.

The director, having built up his emotions, waited until everyone was getting impatient before clearing his throat and saying, "Let's reveal the numbers from back to front."

"what!"

"Stop playing like that."

"Director, this is going too far."

"It's always like this?!"

The crowd protested.

The secondhand guy grinned and bluntly said, "Don't force me to send you away!"

The director remained silent, focusing solely on the ratings. Only after receiving instructions through his earpiece to meet the target did he smile and nod: "Let's start with Teacher Chi, the third digit, 5."

"The third digit of Chantilly is 9."

Everyone remained unmoved; the third place was the least prestigious.

The director continued, "Ikeno, the second digit, is 8."

"The second digit of Chantemo is 7."

"...!!"

Everyone's heart rate instantly increased.

85, 79…

Do I even need to say more?
Based on their performance today, it's highly likely that the first digit will not differ by one place, and they will most likely both be the highest number, 4.

in other words…

Chantemo had already shaken his head in regret.

The director announced: "Teacher Chi's first number is 4, Chantemo, 4."

"The votes for the two are: Ikeno: 485, 15 abstentions; Chantemo: 479, 21 abstentions."

"A 6-vote margin! Congratulations to Chi Ye for successfully winning the bid!"

"Wow!!"

"congratulations."

"The new style is really awesome, that arrangement... how did you do that? That's amazing, bro!"

Applause erupted from the other singers and guests in the room, and someone even asked Ikeno how he managed to create that kind of arrangement.

The fusion and innovation of this piece with traditional Chinese classical instruments and Western instruments are so evident that they are "visible to the naked eye," not to mention the singing style, which is truly captivating.

"It was a tentative creation, something I had been preparing for a while."

Chi Ye remained relatively calm, which surprised Sister Pliers and Hua Yichen, who had thought he was about to get angry again.

But then, the two realized what was happening.

Yes, it seems that Ikeno is indeed ruthless only towards those who have wronged him...

Damn, looking at it this way, you're actually quite principled, aren't you?
Chantemo gave the teacher a half-hearted hug, and the teacher, in a rather malicious manner, pretended to be "sad" and said something ambiguous: "We all understand."

Chantemo: "?"

What do you understand?

The only two foreigners present, Fansia, sincerely hugged his senior, Chantemo, and then a sense of vigilance arose in his heart.

—This show can't be slacking off anymore. If we keep slacking off and end up in the knockout stage, it would be too embarrassing.

"Chantim will be entering the qualifying rounds. We hope you keep up the good work and we're waiting for you to come back."

The director made a serious statement, but everyone knew that, given the singer's track record, it wouldn't be long before Chantemo "resurrected" and returned.

At the very least, she will definitely have a place among the seven finalists for the title of King of Singers.

This concludes this season of "Singer," but the hottest topics surrounding "Singer" are never the live performances, but rather the various discussions that extend offstage.

Such as this time.

Ikeno actually "eliminated" Chantilly?!
Viewers who hadn't watched the show were initially utterly confused when they saw the trending topics, but after watching the live broadcast, they were even more bewildered.

Because… this Ikeno… this performance… does he have this kind of “ability”?!

For a singer on a show like "Singer", singing skills, songwriting, and even stage presence are all pluses. Among these, apart from live performances, "originality" actually adds the most points.

Because novelty is very important. Why do so many singers go on shows and make crazy remixes? It's all for the sake of novelty.

If you can't write good original songs, but don't want to sing songs that everyone's tired of hearing, then adapting them is the best way out.

But Chi Ye is different. He truly delivered an original song of explosive quality, a live performance that was phenomenal, and a groundbreaking Chinese-style piece like "Huo Yuanjia".

Yes, the music was excellent, the live performance was solid, and the atmosphere was amazing, so he won against Chantilly, who performed at his usual level.

Related keywords trended on the hot search list, attracting more and more passersby to start discussions and even debates on various related popular topics.

Similarly, against the backdrop of the tragic "no one guarding the national gate" in the first four episodes of "Singer", and the explosion of various hot words that were pessimistic about the Chinese music scene, Chi Ye won the "culprit boss" Chantilly Mo in the first episode. Although the two votes were very close, it seemed a bit of a struggle.

However, he still gained the favor of countless people who had previously paid no attention to him.

This includes the large untapped market left by Ji Heming.

The second round of eating meat begins.
