My wife is in my arms

Chapter 711 Records... Part Four
on the stage.

Wearing a black suit and tie, Liu Ling smiled and said, "Thank you, Liu Fei, for your singing. It was absolutely wonderful; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as a heavenly voice."

He paused slightly, looked at the audience below, and said, "I don't need to introduce the next singer, do I..."

Liu Fei, dressed in a simple floral dress, returned backstage. The moment she saw Zhang You, she smiled at him, and Zhang You smiled back. As for Liu Ling's words, Zhang You also heard them.

It is clear.

The host is indirectly helping her garner votes.

Even though Liu Fei's status and influence don't warrant such actions, she's still a friend! Even if others don't need it, she'll still help out of kindness.

It's easy to see from this that Liu Ling really likes Liu Fei. This liking isn't romantic; it's more like the kind of admiration one feels when you see a completely unknown newcomer singer gradually rise to the position of a true queen of pop.

Just like when Jonathan Lee said to Fish Leong at a concert, "The little girl has grown up."

That's pretty much the feeling!

The speakers played a light and cheerful melody, causing the singers sitting in the lounge to pause for a moment. Because of the pressure from "Love Letter," they had all heard Jiang Yiren's "She," so they were very familiar with the melody of this song.

But now...

"This must be a major operation!"

Qin Tai murmured something.

On stage, under the watchful eyes of the music jury, Zhang You raised the microphone and began to sing, saying, "She hangs out every day near the beach..."

"The melody is so beautiful!"

Lin Xiyu spoke up.

Zheng Tiannan rubbed his head. If he had known it would turn out like this, he would have stayed at home. Why did he have to come out and participate in this competition?

Liu Fei, who had returned to his original seat, stared blankly at the performance on stage. This guy was really unconventional; he had actually changed his wife's song into an English song.

Although it didn't comply with the program's rules and the surgery was too extensive, both the melody and the youthful vibe it exudes have the potential to become a popular English song.

"Hey!"

Xue Linchao sighed.

He had originally thought that Zhang You's cover of the song might be lowered by the score of "Love Letter," but now it seems that... unless the production team punishes Zhang You for violating the rules of the game, they simply cannot beat him with this soothing and pleasant English song, not even Liu Fei.

This is Xue Linchao's true thought.

If there were any behind-the-scenes manipulations in "Special Voice," that would be a different story. But since there are no behind-the-scenes manipulations, professional singers can tell who sings well and who doesn't just by listening.

The biggest factor influencing the score is probably the difference in the appreciation level of the live music judges and their preferences for the songs, and this incalculable aspect is precisely their current advantage.

After watching Zhang You's performance for a while, everyone in the dressing room got up and headed backstage.

Liu Ling sat in the host's seat that Zhang You had once occupied, swaying his head back and forth to the cheerful rhythm. After Zhang You finished singing, he walked onto the stage with a smile and asked, "Did Zhang You sing well?!"

"it is good"

"it is good"

......

Numerous responses came from the audience.

"Please welcome our contestants."

Liu Ling gestured, and several singers, led by Liu Fei, walked onto the stage one after another. Once they were in position, Liu Ling smiled and said, "Now, we invite the music judges to pick up their instruments and score the contestants."

Immediately, the names of all the participating singers appeared on the large screen on the stage, with scores constantly changing below. At this moment, even Liu Fei, a renowned singer, couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Zhang You, on the other hand, remained quite calm.

He was still thinking about the yacht that the beautiful Zhang had mentioned.

Zhang You might have some concerns if it were another English song, but the rhythm of "She" is obvious. The only uncontrollable thing is how the production team should handle it.

The score on the screen stopped jumping very quickly.

"really"

Liu Fei thought to herself.

When she heard Zhang You's cover, she knew the outcome.

Even though Lin Xiyu tried to remain calm, the joy in her eyes betrayed her. Liu Ling seemed surprised by the score as well; he paused for a moment, then reacted and said with a smile, "In the cover song category, Zhang You is first with 95 points, Lin Xiyu 93, Liu Fei 92, Zheng Tiannan 88, Qin Tai 87, Xue Linchao 85, and Wang Lei 82."

talking.

Liu Ling looked at Zhang You and said, "Zhang You, according to the program's rules, only minor surgeries are allowed, but this... so the program team needs to punish you. Do you have any objections?"

"no"

Zhang You waved his hand.

Liu Ling breathed a slight sigh of relief. He was genuinely worried that this person would throw a tantrum on set, which would put him in a difficult position. It seemed the person was quite reasonable. Liu Ling then announced the punishment for Zhang You, stating, "Given Mr. Zhang You's extensive alterations to 'She,' the 'Special Voice' program team has imposed a severe punishment on Mr. Zhang You."

The voice just fell.

Zhang You's score, which was originally 95 on the big screen, instantly dropped to 85.

Qin Tai and the others breathed a sigh of relief, extremely satisfied with the program team's handling of the situation. With ten points deducted, they were unlikely to finish last in the next performance if they put in a little more effort. Wang Lei, on the other hand, became increasingly nervous.

Then, Liu Ling announced the rankings of the cover songs again. Seemingly worried that the music judges in the audience might have objections, Liu Ling turned to the audience and said, "Special Voice is an absolutely fair and impartial program, you can rest assured of that. And you don't need to feel sorry for Mr. Zhang You, because next... the performance of the themed song 'A Letter' is about to begin."

Obviously.

In terms of fairness and impartiality, the production team has indeed done an excellent job.

If Liu Ling were to announce Zhang You's punishment decision first, it could very likely lead to retaliatory scoring on the spot. Zhang You was well aware of this, and he did not feel the slightest displeasure.

I did make too many changes to Jiang Yiren's "She". Apart from the fact that the lyrics translated into Chinese are somewhat similar to Jiang Yiren's original song, it can almost be considered a completely different song.

Several singers disappeared from the stage while standing on a rising platform.

Liu Ling returned to her seat.

Beautiful piano music filled the stage, while the words "Love Letter" by Zhang You appeared on the big screen. Zhang You stood in the center of the stage, holding a microphone, his eyes slightly closed, swaying his body in an extremely relaxed posture.

Liu Fei returned to the lounge first.

This was the first time in so many years that she had felt so eager.

It was mainly because of the song "Love Letter". In the video that Han Hui sent to her manager, Zhang You only sang a few lines, just a few lines, but she remembered them.

It's so charming.

Behind her is Zheng Tiannan. As a singer who likes hard-hitting songs, the few lines Zhang You sang in the video seemed to have the magic to awaken youth.

Sitting back on the sofa, Liu Fei stared at the figure on the stage with his eyes closed, and for some reason, her heart skipped a beat.
