Chapter 429 She was born for the stage

"Issue the invoice in advance?"

Ye Xian looked at Liu Yiming with some surprise, then realized that he must have realized that his score might not be high and wanted to see in advance whether the result was as bad as he imagined.

Ye Xian hesitated slightly; this request was a bit excessive. He looked at the other judges.

The judges didn't show anything on their faces, but they were all somewhat displeased. Teacher Liang said directly, "To be fair, it's best not to announce the votes in advance, so as not to affect the other contestants."

Teacher Feng smoothed things over, saying, "There are still two songs left, just a few minutes, and we'll see the result. I'm sure you're not in a hurry, are you?"

Upon hearing the two teachers from the Beijing Conservatory of Music speak, Liu Yiming had no choice but to suppress his inner turmoil and nod, saying, "Okay, thank you, teachers."

Ye Xian gave a barely perceptible nod of thanks to Teacher Liang and Teacher Feng. The two teachers remained expressionless, as if they hadn't noticed Ye Xian's gesture, and simply waited quietly for the next singer to take the stage.

They've dealt with all sorts of troublemakers, so they simply won't give someone who wants to cause trouble in the finals a chance to make a scene.

Besides, Ye Xian offered him real money to be a judge, so he definitely couldn't let Ye Xian be the villain.

The two teachers were well aware of these basic social skills.

Jiang Tian and Liu Xiaoxiao exchanged a glance, seemingly asking each other if the other had given him a point, but they both shook their heads slightly at the same time.

Jiang Tian almost burst out laughing.

This kid seems to have a good sense of self-awareness.

……

The four contestants exchanged strange glances, then looked at the envelopes in the hands of Hairun and Ogura Watami, and suddenly revealed confident smiles.

Having reached the finals, everyone naturally has their own confidence and strength. No matter what caused Liu Yiming's sudden loss of composure, it will not affect their determination to win the top three.

Moreover, Liu Yiming's loss of composure precisely proves that he has lost his competitiveness.

This greatly boosted the four people's confidence.

……

Not wanting to cause any unnecessary trouble, Ye Xian nodded to the 1.9-meter-tall giant from the United States and said, "Yuri, it's your turn. Let us see your love songs!"

Yuri touched his bald head, a shy smile on his face, and stood in front of the camera.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yuri, a man who loves to sing love songs. Today I'm bringing you a song called 'Encounter'."

[The daycare was wrecked: Damn it, tonight's finale, why are they always sending monsters? This big, hairy guy, you're going to sing "Encounter" for me? That's a little girl's song!]

[Yan Zhi You Li: I've already listened to the loli-voiced "Rakshasa Mirage," so the gruff man's "Encounter" isn't anything special, is it?]

[A cute face has been a source of trouble for three years: Is this going to be a super-loud version of "Encounter"? I absolutely love this song, please don't ruin my love for it!]

[Go straight down the dry road: Don't talk nonsense, Yuri's voice is very delicate, anyone who has heard him compete knows that.]

……

Amidst the commotion, Yuri picked up the microphone.

"Hearing Winter Leave"

I woke up in a certain month of a certain year

... "

Yuri slowly closed his deep blue eyes, and with the deepest emotion and the softest voice, sang "Encounter".

The song "Encounter" has a gentle and lyrical melody, and with Qinghuan's soft vocals, it easily creates a tranquil atmosphere.

The song's overall context is tinged with a subtle sadness due to the imagery of meeting and parting, yet it strikes a chord deep within the listener's soul. This fusion of melody, voice, and lyrics requires exceptional singing skills and a profound emotional investment.

Yuri's robust physique singing such a song was like wielding a 100,000-pound sledgehammer to hammer a thin iron nail. This strong sense of incongruity, along with the sadness in his delicate voice, immediately won unanimous praise from everyone in the live broadcast room.

[Kindergarten Girl: 666! I thought this big guy would ruin the song, but who would have thought he sang it so well?]

[Your sister has dimples on her butt: I've discovered it! You have to close your eyes when listening to Yuri sing, otherwise the incongruity is maddening. The strongest physique, the softest voice, the deepest emotion—who dares to imagine?]

[With a ball, you must be tough: I have a feeling Yuri will be the champion tonight! Hairun's performance was just average, half of it was drumming. Xiaocang's loli voice was amazing, but completely devoid of emotion. Liu Yiming's rap was just technique, nothing special. So far, of the four contestants, Yuri's performance has been the most amazing.]

[Sniper between the legs: Same here. I've already reserved my three votes for Yuri and Ogura. Now it's up to Deng Qiqi to perform.]

……

Yuri's performance also amazed Ye Xian.

As expected of an artist trainee fully cultivated by the agency, with such singing skills and this incongruous persona, even without participating in his own competition, he will definitely shine in the next few years.

Jiang Tian and Liu Xiaoxiao both showed satisfied smiles. They hadn't watched much of the previous elimination rounds, and this was the first time they had heard of Yuri. They hadn't expected his performance to be so outstanding.

After the song ended, Ye Xian led the applause and then quickly handed the votes to the notary with the judges.

Liu Yiming was originally full of confidence and waiting to enter the top three, because in his opinion, Hairun's performance was mediocre, and Ogura Watami relied on external factors and her singing skills were only average. He was sure that he would enter the top thirty.

However, seeing the negative comments about himself on the big screen and hearing about Yuri's amazing performance made him feel uneasy.

His gaze kept drifting towards the last petite girl, who looked delicate and frail, but had performed quite well in the previous matches.

If she can perform normally again, she might slip to third place.

This ranking is a bit precarious.

The delicate Deng Qiqi stood up, her chubby face beaming with a bright smile, bowed slightly to everyone, and then walked in front of the camera.

"Hello everyone, I'm Deng Qiqi. After seeing the performances of the previous contestants, I feel a lot of pressure. But in order to win the song written by Brother Xian, I'm going to sing 'The Brightest Star in the Night Sky'."

Deng Qiqi nodded to Sun Li, and Sun Li played the accompaniment.

The brightest star in the night sky

Can you hear me?

The person looking up

The loneliness and sighs in my heart

... "

Deng Qiqi's voice is very distinctive. She enters the intro with a low voice and makes appropriate changes to the original accompaniment, which turns the song from a slow start to a fast-paced rise, making it more catchy than Ye Xian's original version.

Ye Xian's eyes lit up immediately.

This Deng Qiqi is so similar to that little leather pants from another world. From appearance to clothing, from singing skills to personality, it all gives him a strange sense of familiarity like when he first saw Chen Xu.

He lowered his head and sent a message to Ding Zhan: "Investigate Deng Qiqi's background and character. If there are no problems, find a way to buy out Deng Qiqi's contract."

Ding Zhan stood not far away, nodded slightly to Ye Xian, and then turned to contact Deng Qiqi's agency.

He had already investigated Deng Qiqi's information long ago. Not only her, but Ding Zhan had also investigated the information of the other contestants long ago. Because he didn't know who would win in the end, he hadn't started the signing process.

As an agent, Ding Zhan could handle this task perfectly without Ye Xian having to arrange it.

The blind war god wasn't just a figure of speech.

Ye Xian looked up and continued to listen to Deng Qiqi's performance.

At this moment, Deng Qiqi was singing her heart out, and her whole being was shining with a dazzling light.

It's as if she was born for the stage.
