Chapter 434: Stunning Lead Singer & Cool Guy Rapper 19

Five people sat up straight in a second, as if nothing had happened.

Wen Yu quickly glanced at the live‑stream camera, put on a business smile, and looked toward the stage, "Sorry, what did you just say?"

Liang Hong repeated his question again, "As former junior brothers and also the opponents in the next episode's performance stage, how does Valuri evaluate Light's lead singer's stage ability?"

This question is too pointed.

If it were someone else, the best response right now would be to be vague and leave no opening.

But as spectators, as people here for the fun, that's exactly the kind of answer we least want to see.

Just as everyone was waiting to see what Valuri would say, Wen Yu stood up holding the microphone, her tone very flat.

"Given Light's overall strength right now, I believe this stage is already the best he can bring out."

After Wen Yu finished speaking, she didn't even glance at Yu Shenshen on stage before putting the microphone down.

The girl group sitting beside Light widened their eyes, wanting to gossip but afraid of being heard, feeling terribly stifled.

Yu Shenshen's face darkened, unwilling to accept that evaluation; he raised the microphone and said, "Actually I'm also looking forward to another showdown with Valuri, after all I think someone who doesn't respect opponents can't always have smooth sailing."

Jin Chen retorted, "Hurry up and move to the next segment; don't introduce yourself on stage."

Yu Shenshen: "……"

He felt both angry and anxious, but couldn't out‑argue Jin Chen, so he could only clutch the microphone and put on a pitiful look.

〖Damn dammit dammit dammit dammit, are they going to fight?! 〗

〖Fuck, should we cut Jin Chen's mouth off if he can't speak? What gives him the right to bully our Shenshen!! 〗

〖Is Valuri sick?! Attacking Light indiscriminately, right? 〗

〖What the hell is Jin Chen being arrogant about?! Just looking at him annoys me!! 〗

Several judges looked over in surprise, then frequently glanced down at the Director Team.

Is this kind of scene even allowed to happen on stage!

Liang Hong's earpiece also transmitted the Director Team's order to hurry up and cue the next segment.

"Really full of gunpowder vibe—looks like everyone really has this stage in mind, already getting into it this fast!"

"Great! Thanks for the amazing performance by Light's lead singer! Let's welcome the next group—Extreme 007 Girl Team!"

He hurriedly ushered Yu Shenshen off the stage to end the overly tense atmosphere.

"Yaoer, awesome."

Wen Yu gave a thumbs‑up, "You're still the one who knows how to speak."

Jin Chen gave him a "you know" look, "Wen Ge is the captain, can't talk recklessly, I can."

Yu Jinzhou laughed, "Someday we could put out a collection of clapbacks.

The later teams' performances were watched seriously by a few people, and they gained some new understanding of their strength and specific style.

Among the three male groups, the remaining Aobailun Combination truly has a wild style, targeting the adult market, and even their stage outfits are very sexy, making the girl groups below scream in unison.

The three girl groups each have their own style: Qingyin Girl Team follows the national‑folk music route, Highttime Girl Team is the energetic‑girl style, and Extreme 007 is a cool street‑dance group.

As combinations that have been famous in the entertainment industry for years, these groups' abilities in every aspect are not to be underestimated.

After all the teams had matched their opponents, Liang Hong began the final procedure.

"The last thing I need to tell everyone is the performance piece for our next stage show."

"Before, we used different performances of the same song as the judging standard, but this time we're different."

He purposely sold a teaser, "Please look at the big screen."

Everyone looked at the screen, and only three words appeared.

Curtain fall, regret, longing.

"Exactly, what we're challenging in the first episode is different creations based on the same keyword; all teams must perform original songs, and the stage will be your live performance venue!"

According to the judges' final scores, Liang Hong had the first‑place Jin Chen pick the keyword first; his choice automatically became Light's keyword as their opponent.

〖They actually demand originals! CosmicMusicConcert, you're my god! 〗

〖Save us, who doesn't know that our Wa Tuan's debut album is all original!! Hai Lang Men are winning big~〗

〖We Qingyin are too! National‑folk original girl team, charge charge charge! 〗

After internal discussion, Jin Chen ultimately chose the keyword "curtain fall," which looked the hardest to create.

After he finished choosing, he once again admired Light's members all wearing black faces, quite pleased.

After the first episode's recording ended, various topic discussions also surged to the hot searches and the top of the Tieba lists.

But more of it was the masses of Light fans condemning and cursing Valur.

#ValuriSpeaksImproperly

#JinChenDomesticEntertainmentCrazy

Topics like these stayed on the hot search for a long time, with Light fans in the front rows, plus mud‑slinging bystanders stirring the pot, causing clueless onlookers who hadn't watched the show to form a prejudiced dislike.

Valuri's fan circle still hasn't formed a concrete anti‑black team; facing the black hot search and questioning voices, they merely silently edit screen‑recording evidence, but under the rhythm‑driving, few are willing to believe, and public opinion leans entirely one way.

They both want the domestic entertainment industry to have a living person who dares to speak the truth, and they don't want such a person to escape the dye vat's control, possessing independent speech rights.

Otherwise it's just being eccentric, a lunatic.

0731 observed the wind direction and began reporting to Jin Chen.

At this moment online public opinion exploded, and the backstage atmosphere after recording was also tense and ready to clash.

【Host, so many people online are cursing you! Let me go take care of them!】

Jin Chen followed his wife out of the pitch‑black backstage, hearing this he slightly tilted his head, as if he'd expected it all along.

【Go ahead, when you're done I'll give you an extra meal.】

【Great——】

0731 loves doing this kind of face‑slapping the most! It's definitely not because he's happy about getting to eat meat later!

The five people did not finish changing clothes at the same time; Jin Chen had just finished putting on his own clothes when he saw Cen Wu Bai and Yu Shenshen suddenly block the front of Yu Jinzhou's resting area, and he quickly walked over.

Jin Chen gave the two a cold glance, then moved from behind to stand beside Yu Jinzhou.

"What is it, you two?" Yu Jinzhou's smile also faded, his tone neutral, as if treating two irrelevant strangers.

"Jinzhou! You guys are really going too far today!"

Yu Shenshen opened with accusations, and they also stopped putting on the pitiful act they had on stage.

"Even if we have some grudges, after all we have known each other since childhood, and we promised to support each other for so many years—how could you let me be unable to step down from the stage like this?"
