Chapter 329: Glorious Stage

On the stage of *Masked Singer*, the host looked at Lv Yi standing there, revealing an expression of being unable to laugh or cry.

"Teacher Lv Yi, are you sure you want to keep standing like this?" he asked.

Lv Yi was completely indifferent, his smile exceptionally bright.

Others all felt he was making a scene on set, being very jumpy, but it didn't matter.

His current state of mind had that feeling of "Others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others for not seeing through."

Lv Yi just looked at Earth, who was wearing a mask, picked up the microphone, and said, "Teacher Earth, we meet again."

When he said this sentence, he enunciated the word "Teacher" with extreme force.

He had always assumed Earth's age should be about the same as his own, or even older than him, so when chatting with Luo Mo about this person, he would also bring up the word "Teacher" from time to time.

And some of the professional judges sitting beside Lv Yi looked up in surprise at the standing Lv Yi, thinking to themselves, "Again? Did he just say we meet again?"

You must know, before the night of the grand finals, these professional judges were still chatting backstage, and when they talked about Earth, Lv Yi had still said excitedly, "Today I can finally know who Earth is!"

This is self-contradictory!

So, he likely guessed Earth's identity, and at the same time, they are old acquaintances?

Luo Mo, wearing a mask, stood in the center of the stage, looked toward Lv Yi, picked up the microphone, and then let out a long, "Uh—."

This kind of answer is quite subtle; it could be awkwardness, or it could be that they aren't close or don't know each other, and you guessed the wrong person.

Lv Yi had actually already concluded in his heart that this person was Luo Mo; he couldn't help but recall the look on Luo Mo's face when he came here to serve as a guest during the semi-finals.

This made him itch with hatred, and he really wanted to rush onto the stage right now and tear the mask off this shameless guy.

"Anyway, I won't be wrong!" After Lv Yi finished speaking, he sat down.

The audience didn't take Lv Yi's words too seriously, because on this program, he had already guessed wrong at least three or four times.

In the bullet comments, many people were also teasing: "【I won't be wrong】 makes a comeback!"

"Today is also Dead Duck · Old Man Lv."

"This mouth is really stubborn!"

"Speechless, you might as well say your guessed answer!"

At this moment, under the instruction of Director Ke Ming in his earpiece, the host diverted the topic, prioritizing asking Xu Chujing for her opinion on the song *Ordinary Road*.

"Why don't we ask the guests how they evaluate this *Ordinary Road* first."

"Jing, why don't you start?"

Xu Chujing smiled, picked up the microphone, and said, "This is my favorite song tonight, and it is also the song with the best quality in my view tonight."

As soon as this was said, the whole venue was in an uproar, and the audience was shocked.

You must know, Wu Yuefeng had essentially publicly revealed his identity.

This evaluation by Xu Chujing was equivalent to giving him no Face, stating in front of everyone that the song *Close at Hand* produced by Yuan Hewen for Wu Yuefeng could not compare to this *Ordinary Road*.

Besides this, many audience members felt they had "shipped" them again.

Because Luo Mo's evaluation of 【Earth】 had always been very high, and he had praised Earth's lyrics and music profusely on public occasions many times.

So, could this also be considered a manifestation of Jing loving the house and its crow?

Or even, is it a bit like the husband sings and the wife follows?

After making an overall evaluation, Xu Chujing began to comment in detail: "There is no need to say much about the lyrics; on the stage of *Masked Singer*, what Earth receives the most attention for is the aspect of lyrics."

"The melody of this song is very interesting; there are several notes that almost run through the entire song."

"This kind of approach appeared more frequently in internet songs in the past; many times it is to deepen the listener's memory points, making the whole song catchier and easier to promote and popularize."

The type of song Xu Chujing was talking about is actually a kind of so-called "pop-trash song."

Strictly speaking, this is actually a formula.

"However, the melody of *Ordinary Road* has a sense of sophistication. While deepening the listener's memory, the changes and handling of the details do not make one feel bored after listening a few times. On the contrary, in my view, this song is extremely listenable, and there should be quite a few people who will put it on Loop for a long time."

"As for the Singing of the two masked singers, I think it is also very good, without any flaws, and their Typhoon is steady."

"I just looked at the audience off-stage, and there are a few who seem to have been moved to tears?"

"In short, I will add this song to my playlist after work and download it at the first opportunity." After Xu Chujing finished speaking, she put down the microphone in her hand.

From her words, it can be seen that she loves this song very much.

On stage, 【Superstar】 gave a deep bow of thanks after hearing the comments, his attitude respectful.

Obedient. jpg.

Hello sister-in-law. jpg.

Thanks for the support from sister-in-law. jpg.

After this triple combo, he stood obediently to the side.

As for 【Earth】, he just nodded slightly, then looked deeply at Xu Chujing, and gently clapped his hands for himself and 【Superstar】.

There were a total of four celebrity guests who arrived at the scene today; the other three were also first-tier or second-tier Singers, and their commentary segment—omitted.

It was nothing more than some polite remarks, while enthusiastically inviting 【Earth】 to write songs.

Speaking of which, Wang Shisong of Pineapple was still thinking about signing 【Earth】 to the company.

It's just that he had previously asked his subordinates to check Earth's identity, but they were stuck with no clues at all.

It is ridiculous to say, Wang Shisong previously mocked New Yu for letting Luo Mo, who was only 24 years old last year, serve as Music Director.

Now, he would very much like to replace the Music Director in his company, Zheng Quan, and replace him with Earth—wouldn't that be great?

It's a pity that later the news was exposed that Earth had donated nearly 100 million, making Wang Shisong give up the idea of signing him.

He even suspected that Earth was richer than himself...

Sign my ass!

When it was the professional judging panel's turn for the commentary segment, most people also expressed strong respect for Earth.

A top-tier philanthropist, plus a creator with infinite talent—is this Earth someone we are qualified to comment on?

Just praise them, that's all!

Just show respect, that's all!

Take my set of "Respect" techniques, then finish the job precisely and cast a full vote.

After receiving instructions from Ke Ming in his earpiece, the host said loudly, "So, let us see the final vote count obtained by 【Superstar】 and 【Earth】 is—"

On the big screen, the vote count appeared.

"1939 votes!" the host shouted until his voice almost cracked.

The audience applauded enthusiastically and cheered vigorously.

Upon learning the vote count, the entire venue went completely wild!

This vote count was so high that it meant only a very small number of people did not vote.

Moreover, this was equivalent to defeating the Heavenly King and Heavenly Queen combination of Wu Yuefeng and Chun Xiao.

A Heavenly King plus a Heavenly Queen, that is a royal flush!

When Wu Yuefeng saw the vote count, the expression under his mask instantly became incomparably ugly, and the look in his eyes changed entirely.

He had originally come here to promote his song.

This new song hadn't even been released yet!

And yet, he had met with defeat before even starting?

It hadn't even been released, and in a competition of this level, he had been surpassed by someone!

A variety show of the level of *Masked Singer* was simply not worthy of his status.

He truly found this result difficult to accept.

But the matter was a foregone conclusion; the host stood on stage and said, "So, next, let us invite our masked singers and their Guest Singers to come on stage together. It is time for our glorious unmasking!"

"As for 【Earth】 and 【Superstar】, please go backstage to prepare for your own unmasking performance," the host said.

According to the competition rules of *Masked Singer*, other singers come on stage together and unmask in order from lowest to highest vote count.

The first place is different; they perform one more song with their Guest Singer, and then at the very end of the stage, amidst the cheers and screams of everyone, they unmask in high profile at the center of the stage, making their identity public.

When Luo Mo and Li Junyi walked off the stage, they happened to brush past Wu Yuefeng, who was coming on stage; their shoulders even almost touched.

Luo Mo looked back at Wu Yuefeng's Back Shadow and thought to himself, "He's still quite hot-tempered."

He remembered that at the Hua Ge Award ceremony, Wu Yuefeng had also been quite hot-tempered at the end.

The unmasking segment was the segment the audience had looked forward to for an entire season.

One singer and guest after another unmasked in turn, and sounds of either surprise or "as expected" came from under the stage.

"Ah! Lv Peipei! I knew it was her!"

"Damn, her Guest Singer is actually Liu Ci, who has been missing for five or six years?"

"I knew it, this male singer is Brother Xiao Liu!"

"Brother Xiao Liu still has it, but it's a pity he's old and his vocal condition has declined; otherwise, I feel he would have been in the top three for sure!"

Soon, it was the turn of the two singers who had won second place and were playing with their cards face up.

When Chun Xiao unmasked, although she wore her signature bright smile, it was clear that her smile was somewhat forced.

If you can't even win the championship in a variety show of the *Masked Singer* level, you Heavenly Queen Gatekeeper might as well stop guarding the gate; it's simply disgraceful!

Are you even worthy of being called a Heavenly Queen alongside Xu Chujing?

Is this it? Is this it?

When Wu Yuefeng unmasked, the entire program could be said to have reached one of its biggest highlights.

"What's wrong with these past two years? Is it a period of decline for Heavenly King singers?"

"First there was Zhao Xueqin, and today there is Wu Yuefeng."

"What are you talking about? Our Brother Feng was clearly held back by this trash Chun Xiao!"

"Held back my foot, *Close at Hand* just isn't as good as *Ordinary Road*!"

"I'm laughing, if 【Earth】 hadn't donated so much, could he have taken first place?"

Wu Yuefeng's fans were quite arrogant; losing this round still left them somewhat unconvinced.

Many times, the fans of different types of people are indeed different as well.

Let alone the entertainment industry, even in the web novel circle, the e-sports circle, and even the live broadcast sales circle, some people's fans also feel they are superior to others and are quite arrogant.

This is a common state, and sometimes it is also a form of marketing.

But regardless, because of this, everyone was even more looking forward to who 【Superstar】 and 【Earth】 were.

The Superstar definitely has to continue working in the entertainment industry; having offended Chun Xiao and Wu Yuefeng in one go, there might be subsequent fallout in the future.

—There's a good show to watch!

When all the singers on stage had unmasked and received their commemorative trophies, the final singing stage of *Masked Singer* was about to begin.

"Let us invite the singer 【Superstar】 and his Guest Singer 【Earth】 to make their glorious appearance!"

"Can I hear the loudest screams of the day?" the host began to stir up the atmosphere.

They saw the lights on the stage turn on, and everyone saw that there were Yueqi like bass and drum kits on the stage.

After 【Earth】 went on stage, he directly picked up an electric guitar.

【Superstar】 stood beside him and also picked up an electric guitar.

"This is... not singing a Folk style piece?" Everyone was stunned.

They only heard 【Earth】 standing in front of the microphone stand, lowering his voice, and saying, "It's the last song, we'll give everyone something different."

As soon as he finished speaking, the accompaniment began to echo throughout the stage.

【Earth】 and 【Superstar】, wearing masks, played their electric guitars while singing a set of lyrics that were extremely fitting for the occasion.

A set of lyrics that Luo Mo, wearing a mask—especially such a mask—wanted to sing the most!

The singing voice resounded throughout the entire venue:

"I want to walk from the south to the north,

I also want to walk from the white to the black.

I want people to all see me,

But not know who I am!"
