My wife is in my arms

Chapter 712 Records... Five
Just like Liu Ling.

Zhang You was also wearing a black suit, but unlike the others, his suit was not a formal suit, but a cardigan suit with a casual feel.

He wore a navy blue shirt underneath, and the trousers were slightly loose.

Having hired top international stylists and costume designers to create her stage makeup, Liu Fei knew that this color scheme for the clothes wasn't the most comfortable.

A black suit jacket like Zhang You's should be paired with a white shirt.

A navy blue shirt looks best paired with gray trousers.

But this color scheme, which shouldn't have looked good in the first place, appeared extremely harmonious on the figure on the stage, especially with his eyes closed, he had an indescribable aura.

It has a casual yet carefree attitude.

Zhang You was definitely not the most handsome man she had ever seen, but... on stage, he seemed to have a unique radiance, which made Liu Ling, who was wearing the same suit as him, seem like a mere foil.

Take, for example, gently swaying your body at this moment; it gives people a strong sense of relaxation.

"You've lost weight and look so haggard, it breaks my heart. Sometimes love is crueler than time, making people blind and reckless, forgetting that love requires two equally devoted people."

Accompanied by a soothing melody, the gentle, heartfelt emotion, like a soft breeze, swept through every corner of the venue.

"...Oh, it's a pity love isn't just a few tears or a few love letters. Oh, perhaps that's a bit cruel. Those who wait for others to give them happiness are often not very happy. Oh, it's a pity love isn't about holding back tears or keeping love letters."

Zhang You slowly opened his eyes.

He can now perform this song with ease.

The lounge became unusually quiet.

They finally heard the full version of "Love Letter," but the more they heard it, the greater the pressure became. Zhang You's singing made it seem as if they could see a person wandering through time.

Good songs always have an indescribable power to move people.

Gradually.

In the audience, some people started to shed tears, as if the song had touched the softest part of their hearts. Then, a man in his forties started to cry while looking at Zhang You on stage.

The cameraman cleverly captured the tearful expressions of several audience members who had been inquiring about the song.

Liu Ling also noticed the audience's reaction. He already knew how good the song was through his network of connections. That's why the production team deducted ten points from him after learning that Zhang You had made major changes to "She".

I originally only planned to deduct five points.

However, to put pressure on and give hope to other singers, ten points were deducted; otherwise... if a cover song scores over ninety points, singers with lower scores would definitely lose confidence.

This is not okay.

You have to give people hope so that they can deliver a better performance.

The song ends.

The audience remained silent for a long time until a certain moment.

Zhang You

Zhang You

"One hundred points"

A cacophony of voices drew the attention of many staff members who were recording the show. This person's abilities were truly formidable. Fortunately, the production team did not give up on inviting him despite the exorbitant appearance fee; otherwise, the quality of the program would have been severely compromised.

Even after Zhang You disappeared from the stage, the shouts from the audience had not completely subsided.

Back in the dressing room, apart from Qin Tai who had just come on stage, several other singers gave him a thumbs up, and Zhang You responded with a smile.

"Teacher Zhang, you're amazing!"

Zhang Xiyu praised.

"Your cover is even better than mine, the original singer. You're the real genius."

Zhang You replied with a smile, then continued, "You might want to ask your manager for his opinion on what I said not long ago. I have quite a few songs of the quality of 'The Brightest Star in the Night Sky' on hand."

"Can I buy it with money!?"

Zhang Xiyu was immediately intrigued and quickly asked.

Not for sale

Zhang You shook his head directly.

Qin Tai's assigned song was a cover of a letter written by a singer in the industry to his father. His singing voice was still pure and clean, and the audience applauded after he finished singing.

One singer after another took to the stage.

Wang Lei tried several times to get closer to Zhang Xiyu, but seeing that she was trying to buy songs from Zhang You, he gave up. Let alone Zhang Xiyu, even he wanted to buy a rock song like "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" from Zhang You. Unfortunately, without even opening his mouth, he knew that the possibility was almost nonexistent.

The better it sounds, the less likely people are to sell it.

This has become the norm in the music industry. Unless you're a pure lyricist and composer, like Zhang You, who can sing himself, you'd definitely sell something of similar quality to "The West Chamber."

He has no shortage of songs of this quality.

About twenty minutes later, Zhang You got up and returned to the stage with the other singers.

"Zhang You gets 99 points, Liu Fei gets 91 points, Qin Tai gets 90 points..."

After announcing the scores, Liu Ling smiled and said to Zhang You, "Congratulations, Zhang You, on taking first place in this episode! Liu Fei came in second with a total score of 184... Wang Lei came in last with a total score of 166. Teacher Wang Lei needs to work harder!"

Wang Lei immediately nodded.

He was also in a complete panic.

When he first came to participate in the show, he was quite confident, thinking that even if he couldn't compete with Liu Fei, Qin Tai, and others for first or second place, he wouldn't be last.

The reality is right here, leaving him no choice but to believe it.

As for the suspicion that the "Special Voice" program team had some behind-the-scenes manipulation, if there really were, Zhang You wouldn't have won first place; it should have been Liu Fei or business tycoon Zheng Tiannan.

However, Zheng Tiannan's ranking was only one place higher than his in this episode.

This undoubtedly proves that in order to achieve a good ranking in this program, in addition to one's own singing skills, one must also have the ability to improve cover songs; neither is dispensable.

"The following are cover songs to be randomly selected for the next episode's recording. Zhang You will go first."

Liu Ling said with a smile.

The big screen displayed the song title, and Zhang You called out "Stop!" It then stopped on Liu Fei's song "Start Over." Liu Fei was taken aback, and then a smile appeared on her calm face as she said to Zhang You, "I'm looking forward to it."

Next up is Liu Fei.

As luck would have it, she randomly came across Jiang Yiren's "Question".

......

"Next is a set song, as usual, number three."

"two"

"One"

Amid shouts from the audience, the song type flashed across the big screen until everyone shouted "Stop!" and then the words "Love Song Duet" appeared on the screen.

"Singing love songs as duets isn't too difficult this time, but according to the show's rules, everyone needs to invite other singers to form a team to perform..."

Noticing Zhang You raise his hand, Liu Ling asked with a smile, "Zhang You, do you have a question?"

"Have"

Zhang You nodded and asked, "Will the production team pay appearance fees if we invite other singers? No, we can't do it without them. They should at least pay the appearance fees for the invited singers! If the production team has the nerve to do this for free, I'd be too embarrassed to even ask others to do it!"

“This really doesn’t exist”

Liu Ling said with a smile.

"This can be"

Zhang You said seriously.

“Really not”

Liu Ling said helplessly, "Don't make things difficult for me. If I had, I would have said so already. It's really true that I don't have anything..." Noticing that Liu Fei seemed to have something to say, Liu Ling quickly looked over and asked, "Sister Fei, is there a problem?!"

There is one.

Liu Fei hesitated slightly before asking softly, "Could I team up with another contestant to complete the love song duet challenge?"

"This can be"

Liu Ling replied with a smile.

Hearing him mimic Zhang You's way of speaking, a burst of laughter erupted from the audience. Wang Lei's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at Zhang Xiyu. After receiving Liu Ling's affirmative answer, Liu Fei asked in a casual tone, but with her eyes fixed on Zhang You, "How about we form a group?!"

"it is good"

Zhang You nodded in agreement immediately.
