Chapter 125: Should I sing or should you sing?
Chapter 125: Should I sing or should you sing?
Tang He was amused by the scene: "Lin Fan, look, so many guardian stars want to see you perform again. Why don't you grant everyone's wish? To be honest, I'm really looking forward to it too. I especially loved your previous three songs! I wonder if you could sing one more live?"
Before Lin Fan could even speak, the sound of song requests rang out from below the stage.
"You have to listen to 'Keep Walking in the Rain'!"
Yes! "Keep Walking in the Rain!"
A whole bunch of people were requesting this song.
It's not that I didn't want to request "I Caught a Cold in That Corner," but this song isn't as popular as "Keep Walking in the Rain." Plus, the song title is too long; before I can even finish saying it, they've already said it twice, so it doesn't seem as popular.
And when this song is mentioned, everyone remembers that mentor Zhang Xinlan also covered it! And Zhang Xinlan's version is currently at number one on the monthly music charts!
Now, both the original singer and the cover singer of this song are on this stage. What a great opportunity! Just thinking about these two people, the original singer is a student and the cover singer is a mentor, if they can perform together on the same stage, it will definitely be another memorable moment!
Thinking about it this way, everyone got excited!
"Zhang Xinlan! Chorus!"
"A duet! Zhang Xinlan and Lin Fan are singing together!"
"The original singer and the cover singer performed the same song on the same stage!"
……
"chorus!"
"chorus!"
"chorus!"
……
The voices from the audience gradually coalesced into two words, a deafening roar. The barrage of comments in the live stream also surged into a torrent. Everyone shared the same thought, and everyone was caught up in a frenzy of excitement. Being able to hear the original singer and the cover singer perform together on stage was definitely a moment worth bragging about for a lifetime.
On the judges' panel, Ding Erxun looked at Zhang Xinlan with shining eyes and joined in the chant: "Zhang Xinlan, sing a duet!"
"Sing a chorus!" Luo Yu also looked over.
To be honest, Luo Yu also really likes Zhang Xinlan's version. Compared to this cover version, Lin Fan's original version is indeed quite different. If it were Lin Fan in that state, Luo Yu wouldn't have encouraged Zhang Xinlan to go on stage and sing with him, because Lin Fan would definitely be crushed by Zhang Xinlan!
However, from the performance just now, Luo Yu noticed that Lin Fan's singing skills had improved again, reaching the level of a professional singer! He was fully qualified to sing on the same stage as Zhang Xinlan!
Luo Yu wasn't interested in a one-sided, overwhelming performance; he wanted to see a truly memorable scene where the two sides were evenly matched!
So, let's sing together!
"Sister Xinlan!" Ke Xirui joined the crowd, his heart heavy with sorrow. Everyone was looking forward to it, and he couldn't pretend to be silent. Although it was truly heartbreaking.
Tang He also received instructions from the production team through his earpiece, and holding up the microphone, he asked Zhang Xinlan, "Xinlan, is it okay?"
Zhang Xinlan readily agreed: "I have no problem!"
The audience immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers and applause!
As for Lin Fan's opinion, it was completely ignored by the audience and even the production team!
Anyway, Zhang Xinlan has agreed to sing! Even if you, Lin Fan, don't want to perform, you can't leave the stage! Besides, while you might not feel awkward standing there, the audience, with their large numbers, certainly won't feel as awkward as you!
"Okay, looking forward to your wonderful performance!"
Tang He took the opportunity to leave the main stage.
With things having come to this point, Lin Fan had no choice but to compromise. After all, he had to give Zhang Xinlan face, as she was a major client of his!
Seeing that their demands had been met, the audience finally stopped making a fuss and gradually quieted down.
The production team acted quickly, preparing the accompaniment for the songs as soon as the audience started requesting them. After Tang He left the stage, the sound engineer switched the accompaniment on, leaving Lin Fan no room to back out!
It was as if they were afraid Lin Fan would realize what was happening. In fact, the voting channel had already closed, and fans couldn't possibly vote him into the debut lineup.
Lin Fan hadn't thought of that, but even if he had, he wouldn't go back on his word.
As the music started, Zhang Xinlan gestured to Lin Fan to go first, and Lin Fan accepted without hesitation.
"Oh~ Everyone should have dreams, and if you have dreams, don't be afraid of pain!"
……
Singing this song again, Lin Fan was filled with emotion, but the next moment, he couldn't muster any more feelings. Because the song had been stolen!
It was taken over by the tens of thousands of spectators in the entire venue!
"Thunder was rumbling incessantly."
Rain splashed into my eyes, making it impossible to see.
Who is speeding?
It splashed mud all over me...
As the entire audience sang the song together, the huge sound completely drowned out Lin Fan's own voice. Lin Fan was confused: You all kept nagging me to sing another song, and you even threatened me to my face. Now that I've sung it, you all want to sing it too. So, should I sing it or not?
so tired!
Moreover, this scene seems familiar!
My surname isn't Wu!
……
[I'm your ancestor: Hahaha! Poor Fan-ge! Now, am I the one singing or are you guys singing?]
[Great minds think alike: Here, take the microphone, you've got to perform!]
[Happiness is bullshit: Fan Ge's inner monologue—Turns out I was the one who didn't buy a ticket to get in!]
……
However, when it came to Zhang Xinlan's part, everyone tacitly shut up and let Zhang Xinlan perform by herself, without any intention of competing with her!
This differential treatment is quite obvious!
It has to be said that this song is very popular and widely sung. More than 80% of the people at the scene could sing it, which turned what was supposed to be Lin Fan's performance into a live sing-along. Even the students backstage couldn't help but hum along softly, and the effect was surprisingly good.
The most direct manifestation of this is that the keywords "walking in the rain" and "Zhang Xinlan and Lin Fan's duet" quickly climbed to the top of the trending search list.
Today's trending topics are saying, "I'm so tired!"
I've been raped so many times!
It's the same person!
……
After the song ended, Lin Fan learned his lesson and slipped off the stage without giving the fans a chance to say a word!
[Deadly Scissor Hand: Haha, I love seeing Fanfan's pathetic escape!]
[Menopausal Girl: Other idols practically glue themselves to the stage, but Fan Ge feels like a burden even for a second longer! Are we following a fake star?]
[Willing to be a Superwoman for Life: Could any of you ladies explain why this trainee named Lin Fan seems to have more buzz than the contestants who made it into the final group? With such high buzz, why isn't he in the final lineup? I don't see his total votes are that high!]
【Homework° Let's Break Up: Oh dear, is the person upstairs a newbie? Then you've missed out on so many iconic scenes!】
[This person is probably crazy: low vote count? I'm just laughing!]
