Chapter 1074: Chapter 1074
Thank you to "Cui Zhongfeng", "???Mo???", and "Living in the Moment is the Dream" for supporting us, thanks to all the brothers, thank you very much!
Below the stage, the audience was quietly discussing, and from time to time someone let out a knowing chuckle.
At this moment, Liu Dongyu slowly walked over with confident steps, and everyone was slightly stunned by the confident smile on her face.
Countless people looked at her in puzzlement, unable to figure out where Liu Dongyu’s confidence came from.
"Weird, she doesn’t seem worried at all!"
"Could it be that she knows she’s doomed to be eliminated, so she’s just forcing a brave face?"
"No, she really seems confident!"
The audience was abuzz with speculation, all looking doubtfully at the girl on the stage.
She wasn’t old, only twenty-two this year, just having recently graduated from school, with nothing particularly remarkable about her.
Speaking of looks, Xu Xin could outshine her by miles, and in terms of singing, Xu Xin could look down on her with crushing superiority.
Yet this was the girl, barely more than an ugly duckling, from where did she draw her confidence, did she really think she could defeat Xu Xin!
No one believed it, many were shaking their heads in astonishment, unsure if this girl had gone mad with the desire for fame.
However, Liu Dongyu seemed oblivious to the murmurs and pointing of the audience below, she walked up to Lu Piaopiao, and softly said, "Host, I have a small request."
"Oh, what request do you have?" Lu Piaopiao was slightly taken aback, looking at the girl with surprise.
Liu Dongyu smiled and said, "I want to change my song."
"Change the song? Are you, are you prepared?" Upon hearing Liu Dongyu’s request, Lu Piaopiao was even more shocked, and even Wang Han, standing close by, turned his head in confusion.
Changing songs at this point was definitely a very unwise choice.
But it was the contestant’s right, and the two hosts couldn’t stop her.
"No way, she wants to change the song?"
"What is Liu Dongyu trying to do!"
"Is she planning to give up?"
Below the stage, the audience was even more bewildered, and Liu Dongyu’s mentor, Zhou Yufan, also slightly furrowed his brow upon hearing this.
He opened his mouth, perhaps wanting to give Liu Dongyu a couple of hints, but thinking of Xu Xin’s singing prowess, Zhou Yufan eventually chose to let go.
He was looking at the bigger picture, knowing that regardless of whether Liu Dongyu changed her song or not, the likely outcome was her elimination.
So, at this moment, respecting Liu Dongyu’s choice was undoubtedly the right decision.
A singer who wants to prove herself on stage, as a mentor, what reason did he have to stop this girl’s striving for it!
"Changing the song? Thinking changing a song could defeat me is simply delusional!" Behind the stage, Xu Xin coldly scoffed to herself. Just now, her performance had been exceptional, and it felt very unpleasant to be overshadowed by Li Changlin, but this was not the time to be resentful.
Right now, Liu Dongyu was her enemy, only by successfully advancing to the top 16, would she have a chance in the later battles to eliminate Li Changlin from the competition!
Xu Xin naturally did not know, the reason Liu Dongyu raised the request to change the song at this moment was actually because of the means used by Li Changlin, intending to stop her progress at the top 32.
Although Xu Xin still had a chance to be revived later, once a contestant is eliminated, it becomes very hard to advance further.
After all, as the competition progresses, the remaining contestants only get stronger.
Everyone is professional, and at this moment, what matters is exposure.
Xu Xin being stopped at the top 32, even if she quickly gets revived by the mentors, it would be after the top 16 are decided.
Being absent from the program for several days consecutively, the audience would soon forget her.
By then, it would be nearly impossible for Xu Xin to aim for a better result, even if she gets revived during the top 16, she might face elimination again.
Thinking of these, Li Changlin was filled with satisfaction.
The scenes of Xu Xin mocking him initially kept replaying in Li Changlin’s mind.
Initially, when Xu Xin chose to leave and betrayed him, Li Changlin had nothing to say, and he merely considered Luo Xuehai as an enemy.
Moreover, he didn’t truly resent Luo Xuehai in his heart, as the saying goes, "a fly doesn’t land on a seamless egg". If Xu Xin had self-respect, Luo Xuehai would have had no chance.
And Li Changlin had more reason to believe that between Luo Xuehai and Xu Xin, it might have been Xu Xin who took the initiative.
After all, back in college, Xu Xin manipulated the situation forcing Li Changlin to choose to be with her. Reflecting on these past events, Li Changlin felt as if he was living through a dream.
But now, his dream had long been shattered, and he had reached heights that neither Xu Xin nor Luo Xuehai could achieve in ten lifetimes.
Now, he could finally hold his head high; by the time Xuanyuan Good Voice concluded, and Xu Xin could no longer achieve good results, he wondered what expression she would have then.
Li Changlin was looking forward to this moment, watching Liu Dongyu on stage, his gaze not even flickering towards Xu Xin who was sitting not far from him.
At this moment, Xu Xin had already written down the name of her song and gave it to Lu Piaopiao, who called the music supervisor onto the stage. The supervisor, looking at the paper, was slightly taken aback by it.
Many people noticed his expression, but naturally, they didn’t know why the name of a song would cause such a reaction; fortunately, the music supervisor soon realized, and with a friendly smile, he nodded and then retreated backstage.
"Okay, now we will pass the stage to Liu Dongyu." Following this, Lu Piaopiao chuckled lightly, preparing to leave the stage with Wang Han.
"Please wait a moment, host." However, at this point, Liu Dongyu called out.
Lu Piaopiao paused her steps, looking puzzled at the girl. Liu Dongyu softly said, "Host, I would like to invite a friend onto the stage to help perform the intro part."
This request was reasonable, as in the rules of Good Voice, it is clearly stated that contestants can invite their friends to help perform.
This segment was actually set as a type of resource exchange.
The stage of Good Voice, though catering to newcomers, is incredibly challenging for a newcomer to become famous.
But there are exceptions. If a newcomer has strong support, it is much easier to carve out a path to stardom.
This arrangement is actually quite unfair to some grassroots contestants, but then again, where in the world is there absolute fairness!
Whatever the profession, various rules exist.
The so-called unwritten rules often referred to in reality, are just .
Liu Dongyu inviting a friend to help sing is a legitimate reason, no one could object, and Lu Piaopiao nodded in acceptance of the request.
"Then, which friend would you like to invite to the stage, and is he present at the venue?" Lu Piaopiao quietly inquired.
