The Queen's Rumored Father

Chapter 90 The Battle of the King of Singers, A Powerful First Place

After a long and enthusiastic round of applause, Professor Wang Han took the stage and began the tense on-site voting process.

This vote was divided into several teams, and the results of each team will be added together according to a certain ratio to determine the singers' rankings.

Sorry, the two people ranked behind cannot participate in the final singing competition.

The list of those to be eliminated was released quickly.

Zhang Yu and Bibi missed out on tonight's singing competition.

Bibi's failure was truly regrettable.

A careful analysis of the backgrounds of the contestants who entered the championship will reveal the secrets behind it.

Hong Kong singer Deng Ziqi, Taiwanese singer Cao Ge, mainland newcomer Zhang Jie, mainland veteran Han Lei, and mainland's biggest influencer Meng Xiaoxuan.

Among them, Cao Ge and Bibi are actually about the same, and Bibi's performance this time was even slightly better.

However, for the sake of some balance, Cao Ge and Deng Ziqi must make it to the finals.

In this way, Bibi is indeed no match for the remaining three.

Actually, Bibi has always persisted in pursuing music over the years, which is great. However, the direction she chose, or rather, the limited paths available to female singers in this era, have resulted in Bibi having a somewhat lukewarm career.

A typical female pop singer, that's Anita Yuen's path.

Li Yuchun's path is to transition from a masculine image to an international style.

As for Bibi, the best path she could have taken initially would have been to transition from a masculine style to rock or a combination of rap and rock. This might have allowed her to stand out and align with later trends.

Unfortunately, to avoid wearing the same items as Chun Chun, Bibi got stuck on a quirk.

This year's singers also had their moments. In the episode where Bibi won, her performance of "Luan" was absolutely explosive. And in the episode where she came in second, she chose a classic upbeat song, "Love Spark," by Xueyou, one of Hong Kong's Four Heavenly Kings.

This shows that she fits this path.

They can bring this style of song to its fullest potential.

Songs are categorized into different types.

The same applies to singers.

After Bibi and Zhang Yu left the stage, they did not leave immediately, but instead took their seats in the VIP section and watched the next performance with Andy Lau and other guest singers.

Similarly, Xu Yuan had just come out from backstage and walked over.

"Xu Yuan, over here."

Andy Lau patted the spot next to him.

There weren't any special VIP seats, but no one dared to sit directly next to Andy Lau. Even JJ Lin sat down a seat away and greeted Andy Lau warmly.

Xu Yuan was somewhat speechless.

It wasn't that I was afraid, but rather that I felt I didn't seem to have any connection with this superstar.

After Xu Yuan sat down, Andy Lau took the initiative to say, "I really liked the song you just sang."

"Thank you," Xu Yuan said.

"A few days ago in Beijing, I had dinner with some directors, and some of them talked quite a bit about you."

Andy Lau is very direct when he speaks.

Xu Yuan's mind raced.

Andy Lau has a tremendous influence in the Chinese film industry. In his youth, he was a top box office draw in Hong Kong. After reaching middle age, he devoted himself to the great cause of supporting Chinese-language films.

On Earth, many classic movies, such as "Crazy Stone," owe their success to Andy Lau's help.

There are many emerging directors and actors in mainland China who maintain friendly relations with Andy Lau.

"You flatter me. I've only acted in two TV series, and my roles weren't very big," Xu Yuan said politely.

You must be polite.

In his acting career, Xu Yuan has indeed just begun.

Andy Lau, on the other hand, has already seen the entire ocean.

Those who possess true wisdom, courage, and perseverance always have absolute self-confidence. But this does not mean they will scoff at the unknown; on the contrary, it is precisely because of their steadfastness that they hold these things in even greater awe.

Xu Yuan is a legend in the martial arts world. Similarly, there are such people in other industries as well. So don't think that just because you can't understand something, it's fake; it's very likely that your understanding and perspective at that time were simply insufficient.

At times like these, it's best to keep a low profile and avoid making irresponsible remarks that reveal your ignorance.

"He's a big director who said he really admires the ruthlessness in you. But I didn't see it today. Today, you're just like the person I am at home." Andy Lau smiled charmingly.

Xu Yuan responded with a smile in return.

Two top-tier handsome men exude charm simultaneously.

The camera panned over, and the entire audience erupted in screams.

I can't stand it!

The female fans were practically fainting with happiness!

That look in his eyes!

How could they be so scummy!

Fortunately, neither of them are scumbags. Otherwise, Lin Gou wouldn't be a part of the dream of nine hundred million girls, would he? Would there be zero updates?

He figured it out!

Xu Yuan frowned slightly.

His intuition told him that Andy Lau had figured out his relationship with Meng Xiaoxuan.

At least, Andy Lau was guessing in that direction, and might even have guessed the correct answer. But reality made it impossible for him to believe that answer, which is why he didn't reveal it.

Great!

As expected of a superstar!

No matter what industry you're in, if you can reach the top, you'll find common ground in many areas.

His skills have reached a level akin to the Tao, and Andy Lau's vision has reached a point where he can see through the clouds and remain untainted by worldly dust.

Fortunately, by this time, the results had already been tallied.

Wang Han interrupted Andy Lau's thoughts and said, "Alright, everyone, the results of the first battle of the King of Singers Night are in. Now, let's take a look at the rankings of the five singers."

"Fifth on the list is... Cao Ge!"

Splash!

applause.

"Ranked fourth is... Zhang Jie!"

Zhang Jie raised his hands high, beaming. JJ, sitting in the audience, looked slightly embarrassed. Despite being a top star, he hadn't even made it into the top three. It could only be said… his opponents were too fierce!

Thinking about it, JJ looked at Xu Yuan.

Yan Zhenqing's lyrics and music are truly perfect. Should I ask Xu Yuan to have her write a few songs? It's getting harder and harder to produce representative works lately. Although no new generation has yet emerged, the viral hits on the internet are a sign of this.

Based on the current trend, in a few years, the idea of a song becoming a legend will no longer be just a fairy tale, and at that time, top singers will face even greater pressure.

"Third place goes to...Teacher Han Lei!"

This time, the cheers were much quieter, because a considerable gasp rippled through the crowd.

Han Lei is only third?

So, what's the first one?

Everyone's eyes were drawn to the two beautiful young women on the stage.

Deng Ziqi or Meng Xiaoxuan!

"Ziqi, Ziqi, Ziqi!"

"Xiaoxuan, Xiaoxuan, Xiaoxuan!"

The audience was thrilled.

The two groups of fans started chanting slogans.

The scene was more passionate than ever before.

Wang Han controlled the pace, and seeing that the atmosphere had reached its peak, he immediately announced loudly, "Tonight's King of Singers Night, the first place winner of the first round is... Meng Xiaoxuan!"

boom!

The entire venue and the entire internet exploded instantly!

"Of course, congratulations to Ziqi for achieving second place."

Teacher Wang Han's next sentence was drowned out by the shouts of the crowd.

Almost everyone was celebrating.

This includes singers like Zhang Jie and Bibi.

Well done, Meng Xiaoxuan!

The first place winner of the day has stayed in mainland China!

"Meng Xiaoxuan is number one!" Zhang Jie roared.

"First! First! First!"

The audience joined in the commotion, and the scene was completely unstoppable.

Deng Ziqi kept her head down, a hint of disdain flashing across her face, which was not even captured by the camera.
