Liang Sweet gasped and laughed: “It’s four in the afternoon, what’s for dinner?”
Li Tiezhu scratched his head: “That ……”
Seeing that this guy was dull and a little embarrassed that he couldn’t find a topic, Liang Tianyi said, “Alright! You call me Sister Sweet, let’s first look at what the programme team gave you as a newbie broach.”
Li Tiezhu: “Good.”
Liang Sweet unwrapped the box and opened the brocade bag, “The brocade bag says that we can secretly watch the rehearsal singing of the three guests. Who do you want to watch?”
Li Tiezhu: “I don’t know, anyway, Auntie Hanhong doesn’t watch, I listen to her demonstration every month, I know she’s super good. Sister Zhang Liying doesn’t watch either, she’s an old hometown, and she’s also very familiar. Besides, they both know I’m here.”
“How does Zhang Liying know?”
“Last time when we ate hot pot, I spilled the beans.”
“Okay! Is Sun Nan watching?”
“Don’t watch it, been on a programme with him.”
“Now there are still Gu Da Ji, Huang Liang Ling and Yan Bing left, let’s watch them.”
Then, Li Tiezhu, led by Liang Tianyi, quietly mixed into the audience and watched the rivals’ rehearsal, everyone was very attentive, because the competition was at night.
After the rehearsal, the six singers gathered in the lounge to talk and laugh.
Han Hong was even more direct: “We agreed to be unanimous, just the seven of us, no one is good enough! Playing well, the village suddenly came newcomers, is it interesting?”
Some people laughed and some were shocked.
Zhang Liying even nodded her head, I’ll see if you can do what you say, isn’t this your baby bump?
After Han Hong led the fun for a while, Wei Jia controlled the scene and let everyone draw the order of appearance for tonight’s match. Then, she went from room to room to give people silver ear soup, and let slip that she must teach the newcomers a lesson, and that no one should fall out.
In fact, after Han Hong had let out her harsh words, she quietly carried a bowl of silver ear soup to the other side and gave it to Li Tiezhu.
“Kid, is the status okay? Not nervous, right? Don’t shoot this part! It’s only on my side that I let out harsh words, it’s a bit of a slap in the face.”
The programme team indeed didn’t film it.
Li Tiezhu finished his drink and said, “Not nervous ah, what’s there to be nervous about singing? Auntie, you quickly go back, don’t let people know that you, the leading brother, is collaborating with the enemy.”
Han Hong gave Li Tiezhu a slap, “Is it good?”
Li Tiezhu nodded furiously.
Han Hong: “No make-up again?”
Li Tiezhu: “Make up later, don’t like it.”
“Well well, how do you wear these clothes? Don’t move. Okay.”
“Oh.”
“Remember, your speciality is your voice and not your singing skills, sing plainly.”
“I know.”
“No matter if you win or lose, Auntie will take you to a nice dinner tonight. What do you want to eat?”
“Crayfish!”
“Good good …… good performance.”
Liang sweet are dumbfounded, early heard that Han Hong is good to Li Tiezhu, but she did not expect to be good to this extent. Maa! Envious to death.
At eight o’clock in the evening, the third instalment of “I am the Singer” officially started.
In the gorgeous lights, Gu Daji walked onto the stage with a microphone and said in a less than standard Mandarin, “Welcome to …… the specially sponsored I am the Singer competition.”
It wasn’t easy, the first time he finished this long string of words so smoothly.
The audience was amused.
“Today is the first kick-off competition, and there will be a new singer coming in for a kick-off. If the new singer fails to make it into the top four, the kick-off is unsuccessful, and if, however, he makes it into the top four, the seventh place finisher in this match will have to leave.”
The audience at the venue just loved the excitement and immediately applauded.
Gudaiki: “Next, please welcome the first competing singer, who will bring you a simple song, ‘Born Like a Summer Flower’.”
(In order to facilitate the substitution, it is set that some of the songs in this world are the same as in that world, and these songs will not appear in Li Tiezhu’s system mall. In short, I think the songs that are sung well are real songs, and the ones that suck are written with fake names)
Zhang Liying was the first to take the stage, obviously she was a little nervous, there were some flaws, but the flaws did not cover up the flaws, overall the singing was very good.
At least, Li Tiezhu thought it was good.
Li Tiezhu was a bit confused because he was so involved in what he was watching, causing the pop-up screen to give him the phrase “small eyes, big confusion”.
The second is Yan Bing’s adaptation of “Jeremiah”.
In the third place, Huang Liangling sang “Find Yourself”.
In fourth place was Chen Jing Yi, who was eliminated in the last episode, and she brought a foreign song “No One Can Replace You” for her homecoming performance.
Quite an impressive live performance, the pop-ups were all upset and said, “Wouldn’t you have been eliminated if you had sung this song in the last instalment?
The fifth is Han Hong’s “The Past is with the Wind”.
The moment Han Hong appeared on stage, Li Tiezhu stood up, causing Liang Tianyi to look puzzled: “What are you doing?”
Li Tiezhu: “Listening to the song.”
Liang Tianyi still doesn’t understand.
But the viewers who were watching the live broadcast understood, and sent pop-ups to praise Li Tiezhu, because, Li Tiezhu’s reflexive behaviour fully showed his inner respect.
This song, just the prelude and harmony, basically won half, wait until Han Hong in a opening ……
Li Tiezhu directly shook his head, feeling his scalp numb.
Pop-up screen:
“Super god!”
“The knee has been cut down, send an address and I’ll send it to you.”
“Heavenly music!”
“National team hanging ah this is.”
“Cute cute love ……”
In sixth place, it was Koo Tai Kei himself, who sang a song called “Lover” in tribute to his idol, the golden band of Xiangjiang rock.
In the seventh place, Sun Nan, after kissing Liang Xiaobo, sang the classic song “At Least There’s Still You”.
So far, the seven debut singers, have all sung, and here comes the ……
The kick-off singers.
The first seven, each one of them performed surprisingly well, dedicating first-class singing, giving the kick-off singer a huge challenge. These seven singers, it’s really not just anyone who says they can win, they are all too strong and too powerful!
Over there, when Sun Nan rejoined the big group and cheered together that everyone had performed well, on the other side, the host on stage, Gu Da Ji, took the tableau:
“Wow……”
The audience’s interest was instantly tuned up, after all, the audience in front of the screen knew that the kick-off singer was Li Tiezhu, but the audience on the spot didn’t know.
Gudaiki: “Next to debut, the last competing singer of the night. The first kick-off singer!”
The camera cuts to backstage, where Li Tiezhu, who has put on a drop of make-up, and Liang Tian are walking in the passageway.
Liang Tian Tian: “Cheer up! You’re the biggest curiosity tonight, don’t scare anyone! The stage spotlight is yours. Go for it!”
Li Tiezhu: “Thank you.”
Gu Da Ji was still creating gimmicks: “He is the one who just won the Best Newcomer at the Golden Melody Awards last year, he’s a singer and a songwriter, he’s written songs for people like Chen Yisen, Deer Hani, and he’s also written a song for …… Sister Han Hong.”
The audience on stage immediately knew who it was and cheered and screamed.
In particular, a group of amazons in the back row directly jumped up, high-fived each other, and then shouted, “Tie Zhu! Tie Zhu–”
Han Hong was happy, “Look, you guys, what kind of mummy fans got high?”
The other singers laughed, knowing who the kick-off singer was, and then the question arose, did Han Hong still “beat” this newcomer to death?
Gu Da Ji waited for the cheers to die down a bit, and continued, “He only released one album, and then he broke the sales record, and his songs have been dominating the major music charts for a long time. That’s right, it’s not that our language is poor, it’s the songs …… guys. The top ten of the charts, there will usually be five to six songs, sung by him, and another one or two written by him, forcing us old singers out of the way, and finally only coming to do variety. Then, he came to kick off!”
After saying that, Gu Da Ji skimmed his lips and made a look like he was bullied.
The audience laughed, well done Li Tiezhu.
The pop-ups even took off:
“I didn’t realise until I said it, so Li Tiezhu is already this strong!”
“Debut is the peak.”
“One album is like this, in a few years it will still be?”
“Li Tie Zhu is indeed strong.”
“Xiao Gu is so miserable, he was forced to do a variety show and people still come to kick him.”
“Laughed to death!”
“I have to say, Li Tiezhu has been dominating the charts for a year.”
“Which song to sing?”
“There are too many masterpieces and it’s troublesome!”
The audience in front of the screen started to guess which song Li Tiezhu would sing, the live audience was also curious, even the singers in the rest area were curious as hell.
Sun Nan: “I like his song ‘Pursuing Dreams with a Red Heart’.”
Yan Bing said, “Sea and Sky also sounds good.”
Huang Liangling said, “Which of his songs is not good? Every song is super good, that’s what’s scary!”
Gu Da Ji shrugged his shoulders before saying, “Looking at the script, I thought I read it wrong, do you know why? The tableau was written like this, Teacher Liang Xiaobo asked Li Tiezhu to choose a masterpiece, but he ended up giving such a song title, and for this reason, Liang Xiaobo even fought with him for a long time, and in the end, Li Tiezhu won.”
The audience immediately quieted down.
The live feed cut to the previous argument between Liang Xiaobo and Li Tiezhu, Li Tiezhu said, “I’m going to sing the original new song.”
Gu Da Ji had a complicated expression, “Next we have the kick-off singer, bringing his future masterpiece-”
The applause instantly rang out, thunderous.
Because, Li Tiezhu was original again! And, super confident, calling this song a future masterpiece.
In the rest area, Huang Liangling directly covered her mouth and screamed, “It’s horrible! Can it be like this?”
Sun Nan: “It’s all the songs he wrote himself, of course it’s okay.”
Zhang Liying: “Is it Chinese style? I super love his Chinese style songs.”
Han Hong was the most calm: “This is going to be fun.”
Yan Bing also sat up straight, both being songwriters, he was actually unconvinced by the title of genius given to Li Tiezhu by the media and audience over the past year.
Gu Daji said, “A new song, ‘Lanting Preface’.”
After saying that, he got off the stage.
The stage lights dimmed, then a figure walked onto the stage.
The spotlight hit.
The whole audience applauded and screamed like a huge wave coming.
Li Tiezhu said, “Has everyone …… eaten?”
The whole audience: “Eat it!”
Li Tiezhu: “Thank you.”
Audience: “You’re welcome!”
Li Tiezhu then scratched his head, then said to Liang Xiaobo: “Happy birthday, Mr Liang.”
Audience: “Give me a kiss!”
Li Tiezhu: “Huh? I don’t kiss men. Next, I’ll bring you a new song of mine, ‘The Lanting Preface’, be good, don’t make a scene, be quiet and listen to the song.”
The noisy and clamouring scene was really quiet.
The beautiful and melodious prelude sounded, and the poignant erhu was even more graceful and seductive.
Li Tiezhu opened his mouth and sang:
Lanting Lin posting line of writing like flowing clouds and water
The door under the moon pushes the heart as fine as your footsteps broken
