The Queen's Rumored Father

"My God, what an amazing song! The lyrics, the performance—it's incredible!"

Zhang Yu seemed a little exaggerated, but as a seasoned music hustler—or rather, a music maverick—he was speaking from the heart at this moment.

"This song is going to be a huge hit!" Zhang Yu kept singing along softly, even though he kept getting it wrong.

Before the chorus even ends, the second verse arrives swiftly.

"Blow, blow, I'm not afraid even though I'm barefoot."

Blow away, blow away, it doesn't matter if you disturb me!

Look, I'm smiling bravely!

Look, I'm bravely waving!

In Zhang Jie's room, he stared at the television screen in disbelief, repeatedly exclaiming, "This is amazing! This is amazing! This is amazing! First place! She's definitely first this season!"

"Calm down," said guest Xie Na, who was standing next to Zhang Jie.

"I can't stay calm. If she wins, I'll be last this time. The difference is too big. How could Xiaoxuan be so amazing! She's too strong! I don't even want to go up and embarrass myself later!"

Zhang Jie's words were half true and half false.

But as a top-tier celebrity, he has a deep understanding of the current audience's tastes. He guarantees that no matter what place Meng Xiaoxuan's song gets, it will absolutely dominate the charts once the show airs!

absolute!

Wei Wei's room.

"Perfect chorus!" Wei Wei was quite surprised. She had thought Xu Yuan's previous description was an exaggeration, but now it seemed that the kid was very polite, even quite modest.

"Next, all we need to do is handle the transitions smoothly, and then..."

Before Wei Wei could finish speaking, the music started again, and this time, Wei Wei almost exclaimed, "How dare she handle it like that! It's too audacious! Too... Fantasia! It's simply outrageous!"

Han Lei's room.

"The perfect variation, the magical chorus, I felt completely moved. I was infected! You can hardly imagine how a little girl could have so much energy! I have to give this song a thumbs up, I have to give Xiaoxuan a thumbs up!" Han Lei's eyes also reddened.

That's so brave!

The lyrics of this song depict a heartbreakingly brave little girl who is moving forward fearlessly.

Isn't this person Meng Xiaoxuan?

Not only Han Lei, but all the singers except Deng Ziqi cried, to varying degrees.

Needless to say, the audience was also deeply moved, with countless people in tears.

Only Deng Ziqi looked rather unwell.

She made special preparations today, determined to blew Wei Wei away and make a name for herself. Even if it offended Wei Wei, once she became famous, why would she be afraid of a has-been?

As long as you're popular enough, even if the production team doesn't like you, they won't dare to do anything reckless. With such a large investment in a show, if any behind-the-scenes manipulation is exposed, all the money will be wasted.

Therefore, Deng Ziqi is not afraid; she is confident in her abilities.

Given a chance, she could absolutely win over mainland audiences.

Today, the opportunity has indeed arisen.

No one expected her to be so audacious and ambitious. Everyone else deliberately kept their abilities to themselves, but Deng Ziqi was the only one who dared to rise to the challenge and successfully pulled off a surprise attack!

But who could have imagined that just when Deng Ziqi thought she had it all figured out, Meng Xiaoxuan would slap her across the face.

The outcome suddenly became unpredictable.

The effect of this song's performance was even better than the effect she created by spending money to hire many actors.

Moreover, this song is an original!

Besides, they had a stage to perform on, and they weren't wearing shoes!

What does this mean?

Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who wear shoes!

These are all plus points!

This round is really dangerous.

Meanwhile, on stage, Meng Xiaoxuan spotted Xu Yuan standing between the stage and the audience. She was completely immersed in the song, singing with all her heart. She knew this song was written for her by her father.

Dad understands her!

Her father knew both her strength and her vulnerability.

There is nothing in this world more heartwarming than the understanding and support of parents.

Meng Xiaoxuan burst into tears on the spot.

But her breathing didn't falter, and she still sang very well.

"Is it you who will give me a door to my heart?"

Let me move forward bravely!

It's you who will give me a light and a window.

Let me be fearless!

Blow, blow, my pride and indulgence!

Blow and blow, but it won't break...

The stronger the wind blows, the more my heart flutters.

I will become a giant, stepping on strength, treading on dreams!

A perfectly soft ending.

Meng Xiaoxuan then burst into tears and couldn't recover for a long time.

The camera frequently focused on her and Xu Yuan, even pulling back to show the audience that Meng Xiaoxuan was singing to Xu Yuan the whole time, and that she was crying to him.

When the camera zoomed out again, it was discovered that Xu Yuan's eyes were also red.

But this cool man just wouldn't shed a tear.

"Wonderful!"

Zhang Yu walked to the front of the stage, helped Meng Xiaoxuan up, and helped her calm down. Then Meng Xiaoxuan said a few words to the audience, including apologizing for being too emotional.

The audience expressed their understanding.

The atmosphere reached its peak when Meng Xiaoxuan left the stage.

Backstage, the director was having a frantic brainstorming session.

The directing team is in chaos.

"Who should be chosen as the winner this time?"

"I don't know, Meng Xiaoxuan and Deng Ziqi both performed so well, one of them has to be number one."

"It's a pity about Wei Wei. She didn't get first place this time, and she'll probably withdraw from the competition soon."

"Yeah, Deng Ziqi is so tactless. She's trying to force Wei Wei to leave; she wants to climb over Wei Wei to get ahead!"

"Don't be so harsh. The talent speaks for itself. This is a singing competition show, a real competition. Don't forget our original intention and goals!"

"Let's not talk about that anymore, let's choose. It's either Meng Xiaoxuan or Deng Ziqi."

"I choose Deng Ziqi!"

Some members of the directing team held an unusually firm stance.

The director gave the assistant director a deep look; this man had connections in Hong Kong, and his attitude was indeed tough.

Unfortunately, the mainland music scene today is no longer as vulnerable as it was back then.

In mainland China, Meng Xiaoxuan has emerged!

"I think it should be given to Meng Xiaoxuan. Her performance was better, her song was original, and she's more popular," the director said. "We have no reason not to choose the best. If we're going to be authentic, then let's be authentically brutal!"

The assistant director's pupils contracted, and he immediately said, "Are you sure? But Deng Ziqi is the top star of the new generation in the Hong Kong music scene. If she receives unfair treatment in mainland China, then certain voices in the Hong Kong music scene could be very loud. Besides, Deng Ziqi was recommended by one of our station's leaders..."

"What kind of voice? A voice that can only win first place? The mainland isn't what it used to be, and neither is the other way around. They can't even handle Zhang Jie, and they can't find any new generation singers to suppress them. What gives them the right to look down on the mainland music scene?" The director was agitated. "Apart from the older generation and two or three big names in the middle generation, the other side has long been facing a talent shortage, both in the music and film industries!"

"I just said, this time, we're going to go all out, it'll be real and bloody!"

"But……"

"Director, look!"

At this moment, the broadcast staff quickly switched the camera to show the production team. The contestants were discussing, or rather, expressing their thoughts freely in front of the camera.

Zhou Bichang: "Xiaoxuan is number one, truly deserving of the title."

Zhang Jie: "It's a pity about Deng Ziqi. If it weren't for Xiao Xuan, she could have won first place."

Zhang Yu: "Both young people are very strong, but I personally prefer original songs."

Han Lei: "Congratulations to Xiaoxuan! She's definitely going to get first place this time!"

Wei Wei: "Meng Xiaoxuan is the brightest star among the new generation of mainland Chinese musicians. If she continues to perform like she did tonight, she'll eventually take the crown from me!"

The production team was shocked on the spot!

All participating actors expressed their support!

The result is beyond question!

As mentioned before, any program can be manipulated, but this manipulation requires cooperation from all parties involved. Once the audience notices, the program's reputation will be ruined. Now, the statements from the participants have left the production team with no room for maneuver.

Now, even if I wanted to date Deng Ziqi, it wouldn't be possible.

Besides, Meng Xiaoxuan is indeed more outstanding today!

"Meng Xiaoxuan!" The director made the decision forcefully, while glaring fiercely at a certain assistant director.
