Who said this top flow is crazy! This top flow is awesome!

Chapter 168: Close-up ultimate attack! Holy crap, what a handsome guy!
"Both sides are really going all out now."

On a film set.

Sheng Ning had just finished filming. Normally, she would be very picky and ask the makeup artist to help her remove her makeup, and she would also apply a nice face mask before taking regular breaks. As she gets older, she is not the same as before and needs to take good care of herself to have a longer career.

But today, still in her costume and makeup from the play, she hurriedly returned to the hotel and turned on Hunan TV's live broadcast.

Yes, she was a little impatient, eager to see Ikeno's "miserable state" this time.

With such a heated argument outside, if he doesn't perform well this time, the "West Wind" will likely overpower the "East Wind" in an instant.

"Do you think this situation might be something he deliberately created?"

Sheng Ning lit a cigarette and casually asked the attendant next to her.

The follower paused, then hesitated: "It shouldn't be... right? This kind of public opinion can't be created by just any person or team."

"...That's not necessarily true."

Sheng Ning sneered.

The old Ikeno certainly didn't have this ability, but now...

Hard to say.

It's highly likely that the other party didn't do it intentionally, but that doesn't stop him from having "put himself" in a dead end.

What can you do?
……

"It's going to be tough for Mr. Koike. Everyone's watching him now, the pressure is immense."

Inside the hotel.

Shang Youshu stripped naked, drew the curtains alone, and crawled into her warm bed. Various fancy snacks were laid out on the bed. She waited for "Singer" to start, with at least three mobile phones and two tablets next to her.

Join the live discussion!

Of course, she was a staunch advocate of "Orientalism," so it wasn't long before she was arguing fiercely with other netizens, sweating profusely and gritting her teeth.

"You, you, you...none of you are good people!"

"Ms. Koike, you beat them up!"

……

Ikeno dried it.

7:30 p.m.

Backstage at the "Singer" program.

The new season of "Singer" has started, and eight heavyweight singers took their seats backstage. Compared to the last time, the atmosphere was more solemn and uneasy.

—Perhaps no one is paying attention to today's competition content. What everyone is more concerned about is what impressions and evaluations will be generated online after this episode airs, regarding "Singer" and the many singers who participated in it…

In short, hopefully it will be a good review.

The public opinion is too strong; they don't want to get caught up in it.

Secondhand Bro and Little Spit King even started closing their eyes and muttering to themselves, thinking: "Let's play for as many rounds as we can, and hopefully they'll eliminate me this round!"
Stay away from the "monster" that is "Singer". Popularity is important, but "life" is more important.

Among the group, only Chi Ye, Teacher Na, and Teacher Shi remained calm.

Ikeno didn't say anything, but the reason the teacher was on her side was because she had learned through connections that there wouldn't be any problems with "Singer," and the fact that the higher-ups hadn't paid attention to this kind of public opinion for so long meant that they wouldn't "punish" her.

Doesn't Yehenara have any background?
Don't panic.

Teacher Shi was diligently preparing her work, while occasionally glancing at Chi Ye with a strange look in her eyes.

Shi Jinwei, who had been secretly observing them, felt a jolt in her heart—what kind of work had Chi Ye prepared?
Is it a new song?

Why does even Stevie Wonder have that expression?
Oh dear, I should have gone to the door to "eavesdrop" again... to listen openly for a while.

This is so frustrating!

Sister Pliers thought to herself, but soon, her attention, and everyone else's, was drawn to other things.

—The selection of opponents for this episode of "Singer" begins.

Since the draw has just ended, the opponents available for this round are Chi Ye, Teacher Na, Shi Jinwei, and finally, Little Phlegm King.

However, because some people won in the previous episode, such as Teacher Shi, they had the right to choose songs, while the losing singers could only choose songs according to the themes stipulated by the program team.

Therefore, in this situation, choosing an opponent with constraints is the best option.

Shi Jinwei thought so, so she directly chose Hua Yichen.

Hua Yichen: Damn it, he pinched me again?! Did he pinch me again?!
This lousy show, I'm not coming back next time!
However, according to the competition rules, if he loses again this time, then in the next round, it will really be a "life-or-death battle".

On the other side, when Little Spit King saw that Shi Jinwei had chosen Hua Yichen, he immediately snatched Second Hand Brother's spot.

Seeing this, Secondhand Bro grinned: Damn, this show has completely destroyed their self-esteem.

"Um... cough cough... Next, please choose your opponents for this round."

The director coughed lightly, reminding the two of them, and his gaze lingered on Chi Ye for a moment.

The teacher then glanced at the remaining Ikeno and Vansia.

Fansia blinked and looked at her.

"?!"

The teacher almost instinctively leaned back, his gaze wandering, not daring to look at Fansia, much like a primary school student afraid of being called on by the teacher.

“I…I choose Shishi. Shishi won last time too…we can have a chat.”

She paused for a moment, then without any hesitation, "rushed" ahead of Chi Ye and chose Shi Daifu.

Teacher Shi had no expression, while the others had expressions that said, "Just as I expected."

Barrage explosion.

"Yingzi, have some self-respect."

"I never expected you to be this afraid of people born in the 00s."

"Yingzi, you're truly something else. Is it a family tradition to be afraid of your foreign father?"

"Haha, it seems like only Fancia is left in the mud, isn't it?"

"Is this episode going to feature another episode about 'Fearless'?"

This episode of "Singer" garnered explosive attention. When the barrage of comments saw Yingzi's timid and submissive demeanor, some netizens were furious and started cursing, while many "Western fans" were overjoyed and cried tears of joy.

Pop the champagne, let's get this party started!

on site.

When Fanxia saw Eiko finish choosing her people, she was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Ikeno indifferently.

Ikeno remained silent as well.

"...Alright, opponents assigned."

The director nodded.

I was a little surprised. Well, this is fine too.

The singers exchanged glances, their feelings and attitudes differing.

Ikeno, on the other hand, remained expressionless.

Anyway, this song isn't for everyone here today, so he doesn't care who he hits. Of course... Yingzi really did act like a clown just now.

The process ended, and at 8 o'clock, the sixth episode of "Singer" officially began.

The first group to appear were Little Spit King and Second Hand Bro.

The two started with a suona performance, adding some excitement to the tense and uneasy atmosphere.

They wanted to send everyone away, but unfortunately, they didn't succeed.

Once the atmosphere warmed up, Shi Jinwei and Hua Yichen took the stage one after the other.

Then they arrived at Fansia and Ikeno.

……

"Have we arrived in Ikeno?"

Home.

This morning, I walked into the living room with a thermos in my hand and saw that the TV was already on, and my wife was eating sunflower seeds and watching with great interest.

"It'll be there soon, what's wrong?"

The mother looked up and smiled, "Are you concerned about him?"

Today, he chuckled twice, his meaning unclear, and walked over to sit next to his wife: "It's not that bad."

"You didn't come all this way, did you? You don't even watch TV at night after watching the news."

The mother joked, then said, "This kid is actually not bad, but he's under a lot of pressure this time."

"Oh? Under a lot of pressure?" Jinzhao was taken aback, then shook his head and chuckled, "He doesn't have any pressure at all, I didn't see it."

Jin’s mother: “?”

"You've been asking about his recent situation?"

"No."

Jin Chao waved his hand and explained, "Judging from his personality, although I've never met him, I can tell that this child isn't the kind of person with a bad attitude."

He paused, then said, "But he definitely deserves the pressure."

Now his mother looked at him.

Jin Zhao muttered to himself, "Several big bosses are watching this show tonight."

Now the mother understands.

"Also, this foreign female singer sings really well, hmm... not as noisy as people say."

Today I'm watching the live television broadcast.

……

Fansia sang very seriously today. Instead of singing a Chinese song as planned, she chose a song that she is good at, which was more sophisticated and technically demanding.

The response at the scene was very positive.

After Chu Hanzhou mispronounced the title of her work twice, Fanxia left the stage, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to the backstage live stream.

Over there, Ikeno had already stood up, greeted everyone in a perfunctory manner, and walked towards the stage.

"...Why isn't he nervous at all?"

Sister Pliers was puzzled. At the same time, Chu Hanzhou had already taken the stage again.

He just made a huge blunder... because he hasn't even mastered Chinese, let alone English. Although he had memorized it several times beforehand, he still managed to mess up during the "interview".

Therefore, his expression wasn't very good when he went on stage.

He only said hastily, "Next up is an original song by Ikeno, called 'Full Power'."

Original?!
Another original work?!
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing the sound.

A silent woman next to Lin Yuan muttered from below the stage, "Is it going to be some kind of Chinese style again?"

"Original...it's original again...how does his brain work..."

Backstage, Sister Pliers was surprised but not unexpected, and couldn't help but look at Diffie Shih, who was looking expectant... Could she also be creating an original work this time?
"I can't appreciate Chinese style, no matter how original it is, it's useless." The teacher chuckled.

at this time.

With a thud.

The countdown reached zero in ten seconds, and the stage lighting data suddenly went out.

The entire studio was plunged into darkness.

A cacophony of noise rose from the stands, but gradually quieted down as darkness fell, until finally only the sound of breathing remained.

Bang, bang, bang.

Several muffled sounds rang out, and suddenly, a blinding white light, like a sharp sword, cleaved through the darkness and shone on Ikeno, who was already standing in the center of the stage.

He was dressed in red, and it was the same familiar face, but under the red color and the lights, he had an indescribable aura.

The close-up shot came in, and the audience gasped instantly.

Holy crap, what an awesome face!

thump.

Immediately afterward, before the sound faded away, a highly rhythmic piece of music began, with the first heavy note striking down.

Rings of flame erupted from all around the stage, and Ikeno's distinctive metallic high-end sound system filled the air.

Yes, with her highly distinctive personal style, Ikeno is currently most talked about for her two singing styles: one is her unique enunciation similar to "Confession Balloon," and the other is her "metallic core," which is more highly regarded by industry insiders.

The singing style of "A Bridge of Fate".

But this time, the singing style was clearly more refined than before, and everyone was instantly stunned the moment he opened his mouth.

Down with imperialism!

"I no longer want to be a slave."

My front door was broken into.

The high-pitched, metallic voice is incredibly rhythmic, with crystal-clear enunciation and perfect pitch control, but what truly shocked everyone was... the lyrics!
Backstage, in the live broadcast room, and in front of the TV and online, all the netizens who were watching the game and arguing at the same time were instantly stunned.

He stared at Ikeno in disbelief.

This…this word?!

Ikeno, what are you doing?!

A close-range ultimate attack?!

Before anyone could react, Ikeno had already turned around and raised her finger towards the side camera backstage:
"You talk about Vral Kaka, I say why be afraid of her?"

“Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh”

Don't kowtow to them.

The teacher: "?!"

Her mouth dropped open, and her face instantly turned bright red—she was stunned.

Ikeno faced the audience, his emotions and metallic high notes rising steadily, culminating in angry tones:

"Culture is a weapon"

"Buried in every nerve"

"Awakened by the U-Theatre drumming"

"Failure is absolutely not an option."

Victory doesn't have to wait.

"Because of the arrival of Music Man"

Wow! !

The live stream chat exploded instantly, filled with question marks and exclamation marks.

Shang Youshu sat up with a "plop," the sheet slipped off, revealing a flawless, snow-white body. She opened her mouth wide and stared blankly at Chi Ye in the camera.

Ikeno enters the first chorus, using a strong mixed voice to instantly raise her vocal range:

Suddenly the whole world began to sway.

"Rhythm and music have invaded my blood."

"The strategy this time is to go all out."

"Full power, full power!"

"Full power!"

"Open~"

"Open~~"

Functionally boosts pitch and delivers powerful, resonant notes!
In an instant, everyone present was stunned and felt their scalp tingle.

Because they discovered that the chorus of this song was exactly the same as the one his mother produced in post-production, but it was obvious that Chi Ye was singing live now, using vibrato!

He played the last three "kai"s continuously, getting higher and higher, with extremely precise rhythm and pitch. At such a high pitch, he didn't swallow any words or break his voice.

In addition to the various chest voice mixing techniques, head voice/falsetto transitions, syncopation, off-beat rhythm control, and various vibrato, shrill vocals, and glissando...

A familiar feel, the same dazzling display of skill as in "A Bridge of Destiny"! Purely showing off his technique!
"Holy crap! This guy is amazing! Is this the real killer move?!"

The secondhand guy was completely dumbfounded and looked at the others, somewhat at a loss.

But then he noticed that everyone else looked shocked and confused, and Fansia covered her mouth as well.

She was surprised to discover that the male singers here actually had this kind of "skill"!
Of course, she couldn't actually understand the lyrics—even though there was a translation below, the singing was too fast for her to keep up with.

at this time.

After the first chorus ended, Ikeno seamlessly transitioned to singing again:
So many accusations

"Of an Asian invasion"

"Here they come a point'n fingers at me"

"..."

—The Asian threat theory is rampant and widespread.

They pointed fingers at me and made unwarranted accusations against me.

—To fool the public's emotions and stir up chaos in the world.

"Ahhhhh!!"

The audience was stunned for a second, then went wild!

English version, and even an "English translation"—Ikeno is so "thoughtful"!

Lin Yuan's face flushed with excitement as he shouted, "Chi Ye! Chi Ye!"

The silent woman beside him stared in disbelief, a chill running down her spine.

Hearing the screams and shouts of countless people around her, she suddenly felt a burning sensation on her face—not because she was particularly ashamed, but because… the entire venue was going crazy because of Ikeno's explosive performance, because of the lyrics… yes, the lyrics!
—Don't bow down to them.

Did I kowtow?
She was bewildered.

"Preyin on a mass emotion"

“Stirrin up a big commotion”

“Trying to assign responsibilities”

Home.

Jin Chao looked at Ikeno on the stage in surprise, but quickly regained her composure and a smile appeared on her lips.

"How about it?"

"She sings really well. I've said it before, this kid has a good singing ability."

Today my mother is back.

"These lyrics are very sensitive, and he sang them in English... Hey, this kid, really."

I smiled inexplicably this morning.

Ikeno did indeed praise himself in Chinese and denounce his "enemy" in English.

"But even if they blame us"

“Try to frame us nobody can shame us”

"I'm sing this next verse in Chinese"

—After denouncing the enemy, I'm going to sing the next verse in Chinese!

Suddenly the whole world began to sway.

"Rhythm and music have invaded my blood."

"The strategy this time is to go all out."

"Full power, full power!"

"Full power! Full power! Full power! Full power!!"

With the right emotions, Ikeno's top-tier abilities, which he had drawn, began to hold up!
The scene was constantly being bombarded.

Inside the hotel.

As Sheng Ning watched the scene come to an end, the hotel's high-end sound system emitted a deafening yet exceptionally pleasant high-pitched sound.

She remained silent for a long time before reaching out and turning off the television.

"Full power!!"

on the stage.

Ikeno finished with a high note, and after singing the last line, the venue fell into an eerie silence.

All the guests backstage fell silent.

“…These lyrics, this melody.” Shi Jin’s expression was complex.

Didn't you consider the consequences?

What kind of public opinion will emerge after this song ends?
Wow! !

On stage, after finishing her performance, Ikeno bowed to the audience.

The audience snapped out of their daze, and thunderous applause and shouts erupted for a long time.

"Chiye! Chiye!!"

"Full power! Full power!!"

"Our strategy this time is to go all out!"

"..."

At the same time, the online chat and live stream comments were instantly flooded as if by hackers, with the screen filled with comments.

Not just the production team, the entire internet is in an uproar right now.
