Chapter 516 - You Are Going to Die Again

Chapter 516 You Are Going to Die Again

TQ was eliminated!

Everyone in the preparation room was stunned!

Many of them hurried to stand up and cried out in surprise.

“How could he be eliminated?”

“That’s incredible, but he did make serious mistakes. If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed that TQ was singing just now.”

“He could do nothing about the result, but it was understandable that he failed to remain calm on stage. What a pity! TQ would have been in the top five if he had performed anything close to his true form.” A long-haired man kept shaking his head toward the camera.

Everyone tried to make their own comments in front of the camera, hoping to show their unique viewpoint to the audience and gain popularity for themselves.

For the singers who had the ability to advance, the program team would give them special shots, while other singers could only rely on their own comments to attract the audience.

Therefore, they were all discussing the competition enthusiastically.

“Haha.”

Ah Yan sneered and said casually, “To win the competition, you can depend on nothing aside from your own strength. Have you seen that ‘I’m Cute’ gained three votes with his excellent performance? There is no excuse for TQ being eliminated, maybe he should go back home and practice singing for several more years.”

Hearing Ah Yan’s taunt, TQ’s friends in the room were all embarrassed. But they were unable to defend TQ since Ah Yan was telling the truth.

TQ did make mistakes.

Even TQ himself didn’t know what had happened.

He had made full preparation for the performance today.

He had planned to show his strength in the high part of the adapted song.

He was so confident!

This adapted version should have been much better that the original song!

Although the first half of the song was flat, it was to set off the climax.

But he failed to reach the climax.

There was only one reason for it.

Zi Yan had pressed the button to eliminate him before he made any mistakes.

It distracted him and led to his mistakes.

“Why?

“Why did I get such a result?”

TQ was at a loss as he looked at Zi Yan in confusion.

He was a little angry since he couldn’t figure out the reason.

He said, trying to grasp a gleam of hope, “I want to know why Mentor Zi Yan pressed her button before I reached the climax of my song.”

“Swish, swish, swish!”

After TQ raised the question, everyone’s gaze turned to Zi Yan.

There was no expression on Zi Yan’s face when she picked up the microphone and replied without hesitation, “Because I’m a mentor here.”

“Just because you are a mentor here?” TQ’s expression froze.

He could do nothing but gnash his teeth. Though he liked Zi Yan, he cared more about his career and prospects.

“I’m eliminated?

“I can’t be eliminated.

“I have the patronage of the powerful, how can I be eliminated?”

He soon calmed down and intended to have a short talk with the mentors before going back.

However…

Zi Yan frowned and repeated, “Yes, because I’m a mentor here, and I have the right to eliminate you.

“All singers, including you, please keep in mind that I don’t want to see any kind of opportunistic behavior on the stage. Just try your best to sing your songs.

“I don’t mind if you sing a song for me, and I’ll even applaud you if you do a good job. But you made me sick with your disgusting expression and poor singing skills, and thus I couldn’t let you pass the assessment.

“By the way…”

Zi Yan took an indifferent glance at TQ and smiled.

“There was nothing special in your song, and it didn’t move me at all.”

“Boom!”

TQ became tongue-tied and again went blank.

Zi Yan’s words were like a thunderbolt out of the clear sky.

“How long has it been since I was criticized?

“How long has it been since I was criticized in public?

“She is furious.”

Zhang Han’s mouth twitched slightly.

“All right.

“Just let her vent her anger, and soon her mood will be better.”

He knew that Zi Yan was unhappy because of him.

But he was not angry at all.

The fuse was just a song, and Zhang Han knew that Zi Yan belonged to him no matter how many songs that guy on the stage would sing for Zi Yan.

The other mentors fell into silence after Zi Yan made her comments.

“Well…”

“This…”

They didn’t know what to say for the moment.

After thinking for a while, Gu Fan turned his gaze at TQ and said, “Mentor Zi Yan’s comments make sense. We hope that singers can only integrate their emotions into their songs, rather than express them in other ways.”

“Okay, next singer, please.” Zuo Dong took the opportunity to change the topic.

TQ took his final glance at the four mentors, nodded at them, and then left the stage.

At this point, the atmosphere in the preparation room was very muted.

The next singer was Sun Dongheng.

“Boss, it’s time to show my talent.”

Sun Dongheng walked toward the stage with great confidence.

Zhang Han took the opportunity to text Zi Yan.

Zi Yan’s cell phone was kept in the staff area, where Zhou Fei was taking a rest. Seeing the name of her brother-in-law, Zhou Fei thought for a while and then went to the mentor area from a side door and gave Zi Yan her phone.

After checking the message, Zi Yan blinked her big and beautiful eyes happily, and then gave the phone back to Zhou Fei with a smile on her face.

“Hmph, he is good at coaxing me.”

“Yo, yo, yo, hello, mentors. I’m ABCDEFG, Ah Dong!”

“Wow, are you a rapper?” Zuo Dong guessed since he hadn’t checked the singer’s information yet.

“Yo, yo, I’m just pretending to be one.”

Sun Dongheng took off his cap to show his dreadlocks. After making a rapper’s signature gesture, he explained, “I don’t know much about rap, but I’m going to sing a rap song today, which is a gift written by my fans.”

Hearing Sun Dongheng’s words, Zi Yan raised her head and nodded at him. “Your hairstyle is… special.”

“Of course it is. Thank you for your praise, goddess mentor. Well, I’m going to begin. DJ and drummer, let’s go.”

After the staff on the right received the instruction, the rhythmic bass accompaniment started.

Sun Dongheng began singing and dancing with accompaniment.

“Well, well, well… I want to drive a sports car, a Ferrari, and I want lots of money. But I must rely on myself.”

Zhang Han was surprised by the song that was very popular in his previous life. He had never expected that it was Sun Dongheng who had sung the song first.

At the same time…

Sun Dongheng’s performance lifted him up in the eyes of the other singers in the preparation room.

“The livestreamer is better than the other amateurs,” Ah Yan commented.

While the others were talking about the new singer…

At the back door of the hall…

TQ was smoking sullenly, while the music director of the show was standing in front of him.

“Uncle, I don’t know why the mentor was disgusted with me. I had made full preparation for the performance but ‘I’m Cute’ gained the initiative. Moreover, Zi Yan didn’t even give me a chance to reach the climax of my song, or I might have won the competition against that man!”

The more TQ thought about it, the angrier he got.

“Stop dreaming. Even if you had finished your song, you wouldn’t have beaten him.” Director Gao frowned and said, “His identity is controversial and we’d better stop talking about him. I’m going to persuade Zuo Dong and Da Hua to let you pass, but I can’t help you in the following competition! Hope you are serious about it!”

The music director was about to leave after notifying TQ.

TQ hurried to smile at him and promised, “Don’t worry, Uncle, I’ll change my attitude. I’m so confident to have you here.”

The music director took a glance at TQ and then left without saying anything.

He had planned to pave the way for TQ, but he had never expected to need to turn to interpersonal networking so soon. He was not the director of the show, and he didn’t have the right to decide everything.

At three o’clock in the afternoon…

The single challenge was over.

47 singers passed the assessment with nine of them getting three votes, and the most impressive song was still I’m Cute’s I Love You.

30 singers were eliminated, and the remaining 23 singers were pending.

According to the arrangement of Cheng Xu, the director, the number of passed singers should be 50. Therefore, each mentor group could revive a singer.

However, when the audience turned their gazes to the preparation room…

They found one more person there, and the number of singers was 24 now.

All the 23 singers were staring at the special one.

It was TQ!

Ah Yan sneered and mumbled, “Shame on him!”

His voice was low and faint.

Though Ah Yan looked down on TQ, he knew who TQ’s supporter was and didn’t want to get himself in trouble.

The other singers couldn’t help discussing in surprise.

“Hasn’t TQ been eliminated? How could he come back?”

At this time…

Zuo Dong forced a smile, and then picked up his microphone.

“First of all, I want to say sorry to TQ for my mistake. While assessing him and discussing it with Da Hua, I pressed our button by mistake and thus eliminated him. And we decided to give this promising singer another chance after discussing it with the program team. Therefore, Da Hua and I chose to revive him.”

Hearing Zuo Dong’s declaration, TQ’s friends began cheering and applauding.

Zi Yan didn’t say anything about the result.

She was not interested in TQ.

Zi Yan and Gu Fan chose two prospective singers who didn’t perform well because of tension.

After the reviving section, Director Cheng Xu stepped into the preparation room, took over the microphone and said slowly, “Just now, each of you got a score from 49 other singers, and the singers with higher scores in today’s competition can choose their rival in the next round of single competition. You have 36 hours to prepare your song, and only the winner can advance to the following round of competitions. That is to say, half of you will be eliminated in the next competition round.”

All the singers fell into silence.

Here came the best part of the show.

“I would like to announce your scores. No. 1 is… singer I’m Cute!

“His score is 9.7 because of his special song I Love You!

“Let’s welcome ‘I’m Cute’ to choose his competitor in the next round of single competition!”

Hearing the director’s words, Zhang Han stood up and checked the time.

It was 3:10 p.m., and there was not much time for him to stay here.

Therefore, he hurried to step onto the stage and took a glance at the other singers.

The others got even more nervous.

Zhang Han was still wearing his sunglasses and no one could see his eyes.

Every singer thought that Zhang Han was looking at them.

“Is he going to choose me?”

“No, spare me please.”

“Don’t look at me, brother, don’t look at me.”

Their hearts raced uncontrollably

Even the other prospective singers were trying to avoid Zhang Han’s gaze and shaking their hands at the camera.

“‘I’m Cute’? No, I can’t compete with him. He is a volcano and we’d better keep away from him.”

It was true that no one wanted to approach Zhang Han.

To their relief, Zhang Han just took a few glances at him and then announced, “I want TQ to be my competitor.”

“Zoom!”

TQ’s friends were shocked by him.

“Great!”

Ah Yan’s eyes lit up as he burst out laughing.

The others also sighed with relief.

Then they began looking at TQ meaningfully.

“Wow!”

“Brother, you’ve just been resurrected.”

“But you’re going to die again!”
