While “Believe in the Light” sings, “Grandpa Let Go of My Goblin” doesn’t stay idle and continues to read the dialogue in a low voice according to the rhythm of the rehearsal:
“It is our duty to lead the people in resistance, and to make the nation live in happiness.”
With the lyrics paired with the monologue, it was self-evident what the song was about.
All those who listened live took it much more seriously.
Of course, the discussion of the guessing panel was still necessary, for the sake of the show’s effect.
“Good to hear!”
“The voice is too blatant, isn’t it? Doesn’t even disguise it?”
“Yeah, it’s treating us like we’re deaf.”
“Last year this guy even spat bubbles.”
“Let him spit again this year?”
There was no doubt that both Yi Xiaomao’s laughter and Big Teacher’s reminder were cut out when the programme was officially broadcast.
For this to happen when the song was played, even if Yi Xiaomao was simply laughing at Li Tiezhu, it would definitely be misunderstood. And, the programme “Masked Singer” would be boycotted.
The programme team would certainly not make such a mistake.
Therefore, what the audience saw was the purest singing, from the two monologues of Tenggol and Li Tiezhu to the first four lines of the song, it had already immersed many people.
The pop-ups best represented the audience’s heart:
“This song is different.”
“A hundred years ago, the political situation in the country was chaotic, and the people were suffering.”
“Goosebumps.”
“Nice melody ……”
“Blind guess ‘To Believe in the Light’ is Li Tiezhu!”
“You f*cking read the back to come, right?”
“Spoiler dog roll!”
“Crap, it’s Serious Brother! I should have known to turn off the pop-ups.”
“How dare you turn on the pop-up screen to watch this programme?”
“Didn’t you turn it on too?”
“What the hell, do you even need to guess the voice? I knew it was Li Tiezhu as soon as he opened his mouth.”
“It’s a pity, this song should be taken to ‘Chinese Good Song’.”
During the show, the guessing panel on stage also tried to act serious, including the two artists from Dumb Frog, although the hitchhikers couldn’t really understand.
Mr Big, on the other hand, frowned and looked nervous; of course he knew that the huckleberry was Tengor, and it was because he knew it that he was nervous.
The Grand Master mustn’t play the song badly!
This can not be played ah!
On the contrary, the director’s team was calm because they had already heard the rehearsal version.
How could a grandpa out of the national team make such a low-level mistake?
Just see, “Grandpa let go of my goblin” followed by his very personal singing voice:
I see millions of lovely you
Running deep into the smoke without looking back
How many youthful backs disappeared in the night
In exchange for the morning sun
Especially the last four words, whether it is breath, spitting, or his unique technique of gradual weakness and strength, are too iconic.
This time it was Li Tiezhu who was reciting the monologue, and after a year and a half of studying at Nortel, his line skills were no longer too bad:
“Out of the research lab you enter the prison, they all enter the prison, then the prison becomes the research lab.”
The audience began to applaud, some with red eyes.
The guessing panel clapped along and …… laughed and shook their heads.
“This is what treats us as deaf, Li Tie …… is still considered to respect us!”
“Too strong, this is too strong!”
“My sweaty hairs are standing up ……”
“Exciting song.”
The pop-up was just as simple:
“Tengor!”
“No song destruction this time?”
“Narrator tears!”
“f*ck! You can cry even watching a masked singer.”
“Li Tiezhu’s song is too good for crying.”
Bang!
A gunshot shook the hearts of many listeners.
In fact, Li Tiezhu was able to see the video version in the system, but he didn’t know what kind of film or TV drama it was and couldn’t present it. However, Li Tiezhu was shaken by this version, so he tried to find a way to simulate it from the sound effects and narration.
He thought that this would lessen the impact of the song, but it didn’t.
Many of Tengor’s suggestions were rejected by the programme and the arranger, while all of Li Tiezhu’s suggestions were retained.
Li Tiezhu:
I look up at the stars you’ve seen
We meet again through a hundred years of time and space
That smile before you turned around (White: I am now determined to be strong for the sake of the country)
I understand everything (White: and the happiness of the people, and sacrifice everything)
Tengor:
I look up at the stars you’ve seen
The earth beneath my feet has changed time and space.
The red colour you left swaying in the wind.
In the heart.
In the heart (white: the flavour of truth)
……
Everyone was enthralled as they listened, the audience stopped clapping and cheering, and the guessing panel fell silent, just quietly appreciating.
Li Tiezhu’s singing voice is ethereal and very penetrating.
Tenggol’s voice is full of power, shaking the heart like a war hammer.
Soon, the song was finished.
Li Tiezhu also finished his final monologue, “This is not only our choice, but also history’s choice.”
Clap ……
The audience gave a standing ovation, while others shouted:
“Good job Li Tiezhu!”
“Tengor bull.”
“Long live!”
Of course, these voices were all muffled in post.
In contrast, the teachers of the guessing panel knew more about the show’s stance, and led by Big Teacher, they all stood up and applauded. In fact, everyone stood up when the song reached the later lines.
Big Teacher: “Wow! I’m starting to doubt my own talent now, just so you know? I used to think I was a genius until I heard that pop songs can still be written and sung like this ……”
Qixian: “You don’t have to! Compared to him, no one is considered a genius, keep your mind in the right place.”
Yi Xiaomao nodded: “Right! People will die compared to people.”
Big Teacher looked at Yi Xiaomao: “Then you say if I compare to him, will I die or will he die?”
Yi Xiaomao: “You die.”
Tao Bi Luo: “Haha! Do you guys know who he is yet?”
Qi Xian countered, “How can that be? He’s so well hidden, how can we hear who he is?”
Yang Oil snorted, “Can’t you hear it?”
Qi Xian: “Can you hear it?”
Yang Oil understood in a second: “This …… seems to be inaudible haha. Hidden too deep!”
Host Li Hao came on stage and stood next to the two guests, “Thank you very much for the wonderful singing that you two brought, I never thought that our first original song of ‘Masked Singer’ would be King Fry. To tell you all, this song is written by this ‘To Believe in the Light’ for the centenary of the May 4th occurrence, and his work is as radiant as his name.”
Li Tiezhu had used a voice changer: “Thank you.”
Li Hao asked again, “Why did you choose to sing original songs on this stage?”
Li Tiezhu thought for a moment, “To be honest?”
Li Hao: “Of course.”
Li Tiezhu: “I won’t sing other people’s songs because I personally rarely sing in general, especially learning other people’s songs.”
Off stage, Qi Xian asked, “Why? Aren’t you a singer?”
Li Tiezhu: “I am.”
The big teacher said, “Then why don’t you sing other people’s songs? Is it to look down on?”
Li Tiezhu: “No, it’s mainly …… decent people who have nothing to sing!”
Big Teacher: “Pfft …… you …… you cow!”
The audience is also dumbfounded, Li Tiezhu is still as naive as ever, chatting again burst.
Who knows, the side of the “Grandpa let go of my demon” gloating: “Haha! You’ve been exposed! You’ve been exposed!”
“Hahahahaha ……”
“Goosey goosey ……”
“Ow ow ow ……”
The audience and the guessing jury immediately collectively laughed out the sound of a boiling kettle, moncler, you and Li Tiezhu half a catty, where do you get the self-confidence to laugh at others?
These two people, is a clear card landlord.
The pop-up screen is even more unable to endure:
“Tenggol excessive!”
“He has exposed himself, haha ……”
“These two are both honey-confident, both think they are well hidden.”
“Tie Zhu came once, why is he still like this?”
“It’s the same if he comes a hundred times.”
“This song is really amazing to me, and the tawdry manoeuvres of the two of them are also amazing to me.”
“Come see Bean, two.”
Host Li Hao couldn’t help himself and asked, “Who do you two think is a little better disguised?”
Tenggol said, “Of course it’s me, his voice others can hear it at once, and the song is written so …… right? Hey!”
Li Tiezhu retorted, “Grandpa is still too young! I came to this show once, and this time I used a bit of camouflage for my voice, didn’t you hear my falsetto?”
Offstage, Qi Xian said, “I heard it! There are obvious traces of concealment.”
Li Tiezhu: “Right? Can’t guess, right?”
Qi Xian: “Can’t guess who you are at all!”
Then Tenggol kicked Li Tiezhu, and Li Tiezhu knocked Tenggol’s big head with a thud of air.
Li Hao hurriedly stopped the two from beating each other up, “Stop for a moment, both of you. Now, let each guessing judge teacher ask a question.”
The big teacher said, “Let me ask the big master, do you …… love your family hall?”
Then the guessing teachers doubled over in laughter, and so did the audience.
Tengor was still dying, “Is a hall a living room? I don’t have a living room in my house.”
Big Teacher continued, “Without a living room, is your house a yurt? So you are a Mongolian singer?”
Tengor: “Huh? No! No! I’m eighteen years old, I’m still in college, I live in a dormitory, and I don’t have a living room. Isn’t it only one question? He’s breaking the rules.”
Li Hao: “You can choose not to answer the second question, too.”
Tengor: “……”
Qixian: “Lee …… Bah! ‘To believe in the light’, at the end of the year so busy you have the kung fu to come to our programme? Answer me, is there …… kung fu!”
Li Tiezhu: “There is kung fu.”
“Woo……”
The audience cheered loudly.
Yi Xiaomao also asked, “‘To believe in light’, you came by plane, right? If the plane, if you open the window, is it cool?”
“Hahaha ……”
Jeers from the audience, an episode from the trailer for Lost in Translation.
Li Tiezhu: “You’re not allowed to ask questions.”
Tao Biluo: “‘To believe in light’, can you …… spit bubbles?”
Another burst of unbridled ridicule.
Li Tiezhu: “Err ……”
Tao Bi Luo: “You can lie, you don’t have to tell the truth all the time.”
Li Tiezhu: “Ah! That won’t happen.”
“Uhhahahahaha ……”
The audience was about to go crazy with laughter, and those who had just listened to the song without crying burst into tears.
Big Teacher and Yi Xiaomao wrapped their heads around each other and laughed maniacally.
Yang Oil was the last to speak, coming up with a Xichuan dialect, “Immortal child, you’re definitely not Li Tiezhu, right?”
Li Tiezhu: “No, I’m not as handsome as him.”
