Starting with Super Girl, he began to train the Chinese entertainment industry.

Chapter 18: The First Person to Leave
"It's a pity the first song isn't original!"

"But it sounds great!"

"Indeed, it has that romantic feeling of the original singer."

"Zhang Liangying is so versatile; she can handle any type of song. I hope her next song will be an original. I'm really looking forward to Shen Qing writing a new song."

"..."

At this moment, Shen Qing felt goosebumps all over his body; Zhang Liangying's voice was truly outstanding.

There was no sound engineer, only an electronic keyboard for accompaniment.

But her beautiful voice, with its natural reverb, is almost like a pregnancy for the ears.

Perhaps this is what happens when the masters of music feed you; you're born with a naturally powerful voice, and no matter how hard you try later in life, you can never reach the level of someone's casual shout.

Especially the nine contestants competing on the same stage, within 30 seconds of Zhang Liangying's performance, all felt a sense of powerlessness.

I'm having inner demons...

Even the judges and Wang Han were more shocked than before; Zhang Liangying's skills had improved even more in just one week.

If there were bullet comments, the entire screen would probably be filled with the words "dimensional reduction attack".

……

After the song ended, contestant number 06, Zheng Jingwen, took over the singing.

But the three judges, Hei Nan, Zhang Lu, and Zhang Man, seemed to be in a daze until Zheng Jingwen sang half of the song before they realized what was happening.

Zhang Lu turned his head and asked Zhang Man in a low voice, "What did she sing?"

Zhang Man covered her mouth and said, "Liu Ruoyin's 'Later'..."

Zhang Lu gave an awkward smile: "Oh right, she sang alright, but she's nowhere near as good as Zhang Liangying."

……

Contestant No. 05, Lin Shuang, sang A-mei's "You Don't Want Anything After All," and her performance was quite good, much better than that of contestant No. 08, Lu Jieyun.

Contestant number 04, Zhou Yang, sang Wang Xinling's "See You Tomorrow." The overall emotion was quite good, but the singing technique was really average, and the timbre wasn't very pleasant.

Contestant number 03, Shen Pinpin, chose Fan Weiqi's "Everyday". Today, she wore a short skirt, and her long, straight, and fair legs attracted a lot of attention.

Contestant number 02, Ji Minjia, is the strongest one besides Zhang Liangying.

Today she sang Teresa Teng's masterpiece "The Road of Life," and her voice immediately captivated many listeners.

Teresa Teng's voice is relatively soft, but Ji Minjia's voice is both soft and strong, giving this Cantonese song a different feel.

At last.

Contestant No. 01, Ye Yiqian, entered the stage with a nervous heart.

Before she even started singing, her fans were already cheering because her makeup looked better today, quite different from before.

The song she sang was Na Ying's "Conquer".
"Just like that, I've been conquered by you."

"Cutting off all escape routes"

"..."

Overall, he is at a mid-to-high level among the 10 contestants.

……

Yu Weiwei: "Alright, all 10 of our contestants have finished their performances. Whose performance impressed you the most? Please let our three judges give their comments."

Zhang Lu was the first to speak:

"The overall effect is dazzling. I was just talking to Coach Hei Nan yesterday. As the competition progresses, all the contestants' demeanor and state of mind have changed. Everyone has opened up..."

"Zhang Liangying impressed me the most."

"Her song 'The Most Romantic Thing' made my hair stand on end."

“Zhang Liangying is not mechanically imitating Zhao Yonghua; she has her own understanding and emotions in her work, which is refreshing… I think that’s the most valuable thing.”

"Another contestant is Ding Ding; her coordination with the piano accompaniment is quite good..."

Hei Nan continued:
"Indeed, many of the contestants surprised me today."

"You have improved so much since the last competition. Whether it is your performance, your emotions, your stage presence, or your singing, you have all made great progress."

"Take Zhang Liangying for example. In the previous round of the competition, where she was in the top 20 to 10, she was a proud and arrogant rich girl. But in this round, she is a gentle and tender girl..."

"This kind of change in musical style is very difficult, but Liangying, you can control it easily, which I really admire."

"Honestly, I'm really looking forward to your album."

"After the Super Girl competition ends, you can ask Shen Qing to write ten songs for you and release an album. If you need any help then, feel free to contact me."

"..."

Wang Han and You Weiwei were a little confused. No way~
Teacher Hei Nan, you're a professional judge! How could you be so friendly with the contestants on the show? Aren't you afraid people will say there's something fishy going on?

Wang Han quickly changed the subject.

Hei Nan seemed to realize the problem and immediately began to comment on the other contestants, giving each comment in a very friendly manner.

It's like everyone is amazing.

At last.

Zhang Man also shared her views.

Actually, they're all similar to Zhang Lu and Hei Nan; after all, everyone knows perfectly well who sings well and who doesn't.

……

Wang Han: "Okay! Dear viewers, we've given quite a few blessings, and now we're about to face a moment we really don't want to see."

Yu Weiwei: "Okay, now please have our staff present the current off-site support rates for our 10 contestants."

Wang Han took the teleprompter from the staff, which listed the names of the three contestants with the most votes, as well as the name of the contestant who was currently trailing in votes.

"The first three names called have temporarily passed this round and can go to the rest area to rest for a while."

"And in this round, a lovely girl will leave the stage."

"The top three are: Zhang Liangying (No. 07), Zheng Jingwen (No. 06), and Ye Yiqian (No. 01)."

……

"Beautiful girl, you're amazing."

"Go Zheng Jingwen!"

"Keep it up, Ye Yiqian!"

The fans of the three contestants in the audience were cheering, while the other fans were on tenterhooks, afraid that their idols would be eliminated.

"Next, we will announce the contestant with the lowest number of votes, who is... contestant number 05, Lin Shuang..."

Lin Shuang forced a helpless smile.

She stepped onto the PK stage.

now.

Shen Qing was somewhat puzzled.

Logically speaking, Lin Shuang isn't the worst looking, he's quite cheerful, and his singing is decent, so why did he get the lowest number of votes?!
Can't figure it out.

"Now, please have the three judges select the weakest contestant from the remaining six to compete against Lin Shuang."

Actually~
At this stage, the judges have a lot of room to maneuver.

They can choose a very strong contestant to eliminate Lin Shuang, or they can choose the weakest contestant to let Lin Shuang pass.

Han Zhenzhen was eliminated in the same way, by the very strong Ji Minjia.

finally.

The three judges chose the weakest candidate, number 08, Lu Jieyun.

The two went up on the PK stage and each sang a song a cappella to garner votes.

Lin Shuang sang David Tao's "Everyday".

She wanted to use this song to express her love for her fans and family, to thank them for their support, and to be satisfied with whatever the outcome.

Lu Jieyun sang Cai Yilin's "I Can".

You can tell from the song title that she doesn't want to admit defeat and wants to give it another shot.

However, her singing was indeed not very good, and in the end, she was eliminated by the five audience judges selected by the host.

Lin Shuang is safe for the time being.

……

After the commercial break, the live stream continued.

This time, only 9 contestants remain. They will be divided into three groups, each singing a complete song, and then compete in another elimination round.

Shen Qing glanced at Zhang Liangying and saw that the girl was taking deep breaths to cheer herself up; she was clearly a little nervous.

Shen Qing called out softly, "Liangying, don't be nervous."

Zhang Liangying stuck out her tongue, nodded vigorously, and whispered, "I know, I'll get it right away!"

at the same time.

Whether watching on TV or at the venue, all the fans were eagerly anticipating Zhang Liangying's performance, and even more so, her rendition of Shen Qing's original song.
