Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 25. Young and Promising (Please continue reading)

After Jay Chou finished commenting on the songs, the voting process began.

After the voting process ends, one contestant will unfortunately have to leave the stage.

Lin Shaobai knew that Dong Ziyan was Jay Chou's favorite student.

Since it's a selection process for the group's champion, the mentors have the most say in the choice.

The first thing to do was to vote from the other three mentors who were observing the competition.

The three audience mentors will write down the names of the contestants they want to vote for in the letter, and then hand it to the host.

Liu Huan: "The two singers on stage, one strong and one gentle, both performed so well. Oh my, especially Lin Shaobai, I really think, what's that saying, the prince of love songs? It's rare to see someone so handsome and sing so well."

Even Liu Huan, who was always fair and impartial, stopped being fair at this moment.

Yingzi: "Dong Ziyan's performance was a bit like a musical. She was able to do so many movements on stage under such pressure. And Lin Shaobai, I think your collaboration with Brother Halin was particularly good. Listening to you sing was a real treat."

Chen Yixun: "I was really impressed with Lin Shaobai from the very first episode. I was thinking, how come this guy is so handsome? Then I found out he's from Beijing Film Academy, which makes sense. But I really didn't expect you to sing so well. There aren't many actors who can sing so well. I hope you can keep it up. Oh, and one last thing, enjoy the music."

Hua Shao: "Okay, next, please have the 51 judges vote. Red represents Lin Shaobai, and blue represents Dong Ziyan. The first five judges, please vote."

"Four votes went to Lin Shaobai, and one vote went to Dong Ziyan."

"Second row, teachers, please vote."

Liu Huan, who was usually calm and composed, widened his eyes in surprise when he saw the result.

Hua Shao: "The second line is a unanimous vote for Lin Shaobai! The third line is for all teachers to vote."

"Eight votes in the third row went to Lin Shaobai, and one vote went to Dong Ziyan."

"In the fourth row, seven votes went to Lin Shaobai and two votes went to Dong Ziyan."

They voted in this way, row by row, until the vote was finished. Then, the host, Hua Shao, looked at the camera and began to announce the results.

"Among the 51 professional judges, Lin Shaobai versus Dong Ziyan, their vote result was 45 to 6!"

Dong Ziyan frowned in disappointment upon hearing this.

Lin Shaobai's mood would change slightly with the tense background music, but his expression remained calm and composed.

Hua Shao: "Next, let's see the final choices of the three mentors who have the right to vote."

After he finished speaking, he opened the envelopes containing his mentor's letters one by one.

"The first envelope is addressed to Lin Shaobai. Two more points for Lin Shaobai!"

"The second envelope was addressed to Handsome Lin..." The host couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this title.

Small bursts of laughter could be heard from the audience area.

"The second envelope was addressed to Handsome Lin, Lin Shaobai, so I'll add two more points."

"The third envelope was addressed to Lin Shaobai. Lin Shaobai, two more points!"

"The final score is 51 to 6. Congratulations to Lin Shaobai for advancing to the second round!"

The victor's background music immediately began to play, and Lin Shaobai turned and walked towards the Bridge of Honor, preparing for the second round of the competition.

The eliminated contestants began to give their farewell speeches, and then slowly walked off the stage.

Hua Shao: "Now, only two champion candidates remain in Jay Chou's team, and the final climax is about to begin! Now, let's all give a round of applause to welcome back Da Bu and Lin Shaobai! Next, you will hear the championship battle of Jay Chou's mentor group. The final two songs will determine the ultimate glory."

"The final assessment has officially begun. Please do not leave the station!"

Lin Shaobai's opponent, Da Bu, sang "Dear Friend" after he went on stage.

After completing a standing meditation exercise, the audience applauded and sang a love song.

Lin Shaobai also chose a love song.

Since they're all love songs sung while standing still, let's see who sings it more movingly.

Before going on stage, Lin Shaobai took a deep breath in the corner and then slowly exhaled.

How could anyone not be tense when the atmosphere was this intense?
He must make it to the finals.

This show isn't a phenomenal hit, so you have to be number one to leave a lasting impression on everyone.

"Alright, next up, Lin Shaobai, please take the field."

"Welcome Lin Shaobai to perform his original song 'Young and Promising'."

"Huh?! No, did I hear that right? Lin Shaobai brought another original song?"

Upon hearing the introduction, Yingzi immediately turned to look at Jay Chou.

Jay Chou nodded with a very proud look: "This kid likes to write original content and always likes to use original content in competitions. He's very courageous, I like him."

Chen Yixun: "Wow, you've struck gold!" Liu Huan: [Smiling]

The audience members also started discussing it.

"My goodness, how come Lin Shaobai always writes original compositions? Is he sure he's from the Beijing Film Academy's acting department? Is he really not from the music academy?"

“Aside from the songs that he has to sing with his mentor, every time it’s his turn to sing solo, it’s an original song.”

"Is that amazing? Could it be that you were hiding your abilities all along?"

After a long silence, Chen Duling couldn't help but chuckle when she heard the surrounding discussions.

This trip was definitely worthwhile; I got to hear Lin Shaobai's original songs again.

She adjusted her mask and hat, and sat up straighter.

On stage, Lin Shaobai picked up the microphone and began to sing.

The TV keeps flashing.

"The contact information hasn't been deleted yet."

"You've been so good to me"

But I destroyed it by mistake.

We thought about it together.

"A place to sleep and eat"

"How can I possibly work day and night like this?"

"We can't even raise the down payment."

"I smashed the wall panel."

"It still hasn't been fixed."

A bowl of hot porridge

"You're afraid I won't have enough?"

"Young and Promising" quickly became a hit online when it was released, becoming a widely popular song.

The song has garnered over a million views across the internet, received over 13 comments on NetEase Cloud Music, and even won the Top Ten Chinese Songs of the Year award.

After much deliberation, Lin Shaobai finally decided to bring out this song in this round.

When he sang, he deliberately emphasized the core message of the song: "The worst thing is to meet the person you love most when you are powerless."

The singing was very moving, and all four mentors present looked at it with admiration.

At that moment, Jay Chou already had someone in mind.

"If I had been successful in my youth and not felt inferior"

"Knowing what is precious"

Those beautiful dreams

I would feel guilty for the rest of my life if I didn't give it to you.

If only I had been more capable and known when to advance and retreat when I was young

"I won't let you suffer for me."

"Have a few more drinks at the wedding."

"With your current partner"

……

Chen Duling stared intently at Lin Shaobai, who was singing love songs on stage.

What attracted her at that moment was not Lin Shaobai's appearance, but the atmosphere of the entire stage.

It turns out that listening to Lin Shaobai sing live is completely different from watching it on the app.

No wonder Lin Shaobai has so many fans; who wouldn't be captivated by his performance?

Chen Duling loosened her arms from her chest and gently applauded Lin Shaobai.

"That sounds beautiful, Mr. Lin Shaobai."
