He Han stood tall and straight in the center of the dazzling stage with a beaming smile, the spotlights focusing on him and making him stand out.
"Dear viewers, good evening! A warm welcome to the live broadcast of 'Singer Who Makes Waves'! I am your old friend He Han."
He Han's passionate and energetic voice instantly ignited the atmosphere at the scene.
"As we all know, our program has always been a grand musical feast, a dazzling stage where talent and dreams collide with passion. In this brand new season, we have meticulously planned and prepared, going all out to present you with even more surprises and profound emotions."
"First of all, let me give you a detailed introduction to this season's unique competition format."
"The season of 'Singer Who Makes Waves' consists of 13 episodes, divided into 4 rounds. The competition format includes 5 types: ranking, elimination, challenge, breakout, and final. The specific competition system can be understood as a '3, 3, 3, 4' formation."
"The first three rounds consist of three matches each, in the following order: ranking matches, knockout matches, and challenge matches. The final round consists of four matches: ranking matches, knockout matches, qualifying matches, and the final."
"The first round, the first episode, is a ranking competition, with 7 singers competing in the ranking competition."
"The second episode of the first round is an elimination round. The singer with the lowest total votes from the first and second episodes will be eliminated."
"The third episode of the first round is a challenge competition: if the challenger is successful, one of the veteran singers will be eliminated; if the challenger fails, he will be eliminated. The lineup of singers will remain at 6."
"The ranking in each competition is determined by a combination of votes from the 5,000 'listening jury' on-site, votes from off-site audiences through real-name voting, and opinions from expert advisors. The votes are reset to zero after each round and do not accumulate to the next round."
"Expert advisors only comment on the performances of the participating singers and do not participate in the scoring or selection process. Every time the staff calculates the votes, professional experts supervise the process on-site to ensure the authenticity and fairness of the votes and to prevent any behind-the-scenes manipulation."
As a special arrangement for this season's program, Xiao Qingfeng, the mystery singer, has his own private room.
The program also assigned him a beautiful agent, Lin Ran, a top student from the Broadcasting Department of Xiangcheng National Communication University.
At this moment, Lin Ran was with Xiao Qingfeng, watching the live broadcast on the 60-inch TV in the room with great interest.
As Xiao Qingfeng's exclusive agent, Lin Ran was secretly observing him.
"I didn't expect him to be even more handsome in person than on camera!"
Xiao Qingfeng seemed to sense Lin Ran's gaze and turned to give her a charming smile.
Lin Ran's pretty face immediately turned red, and her heart pounded wildly!
"Teacher Xiao, you don't seem nervous at all?" Lin Ran said.
Xiao Qingfeng laughed and said, "Sister Lin, I'm very nervous, can't you tell?"
Lin Ran: "......"
Since there is no "Dream of the Red Chamber" in this world, Lin Ran naturally does not know the meaning of "Lin Daiyu".
Besides, who lies on the sofa and eats sunflower seeds when they're feeling stressed?
"Hehe, I really didn't see that coming!" Lin Ran muttered to herself.
At this moment, the first singer to debut also took to the stage at the invitation of Teacher He!
The first person to take the stage today is none other than the evergreen star who has dominated the music scene for twenty years, the diva Mei Fei!
Although diva May Fiorentina is over forty, the energy and spirit she displayed when she appeared on stage were in no way inferior to that of a young person in their twenties.
The moment Mayfie appeared that day, she was greeted with enthusiastic applause.
Whether in Hong Kong Island or mainland China, pop diva Mei Fei has countless fans and is undoubtedly a queen of the music scene.
"I didn't expect the diva to be the first to appear, I love it!"
"I wonder what song the diva will sing today. Will it be her signature song, 'Flower of a Woman'?"
"The diva is still so beautiful, she's so captivating!"
"Anita Mui is truly outstanding; the music scene will never find another female singer who loves music as deeply as she does."
......
At this moment, not only the audience at the scene was in an uproar, but the netizens in the live broadcast room also went crazy, with millions of bullet comments scrolling across the screen every minute!
Meifei looked at the audience with a bright and cheerful expression, but she did not greet them because the program rules stipulated that singers must be fully engaged in their performance as soon as they come on stage and cannot interact with the audience.
So when Mayfair and the others went on stage, they gave an "OK" sign in the direction of the broadcast, indicating that they were ready.
The next moment, information about Mei Fei's song appeared on the large screen behind them!
Twilight Love Song
Lyrics by: Mei Fei
Composer: Mei Fei
Singer: Mei Fei
There's an unwritten rule in the music industry that when a song is written, composed, and sung by the same person, it's hailed as the "most beautiful three-line poem."
"Twilight Love" is the title track from pop diva Mei Fei's first album. In the era of CDs, the album sold 800,000 copies, becoming the third best-selling album of the year.
Keep in mind that at the time, Mei Fei was not yet a superstar; she was just a newcomer to the music scene who had debuted three years prior, a 21-year-old girl.
When the prelude reached a certain point, Mayfie spoke up!
......
Meifei's singing voice was melodious and plaintive, as if it had brought everyone into a dreamlike twilight romance.
When she finished singing the last note, the entire stage fell silent, followed by thunderous applause and cheers.
The live stream chat room instantly erupted in excitement.
"My goodness, the queen of pop is truly the queen of pop! This song gave me goosebumps!"
"That voice is simply heavenly! Meifei truly deserves to be my eternal goddess!"
"After listening to this song, I feel like I'm in love again, and it's that kind of unforgettable twilight love!"
"Twenty years have passed, and the Queen's skills have not diminished at all; on the contrary, they have become even more refined. She is truly admirable!"
"This is real music, this is a real singer! Compared to Mei Fei, those pop stars are worlds apart!"
"I've liked her since her debut. So many years have passed, and she still moves me. I'm in tears!"
"Thanks to the stage of 'Singer Who Makes Waves', we were able to appreciate the charm of the diva once again!"
"If this song doesn't get first place, it would be an injustice!"
"After listening to this song, I feel like my life is complete. It's so wonderful!"
"Mefie proved with her talent that classics never go out of style; she is a legend!"
Countless praises and sentiments flooded the live stream, with viewers expressing their love and respect for Mayfair in the most enthusiastic language.
In fact, Meifei had some concerns about participating in this competitive music competition, after all, she was the earliest to debut and the oldest among all the singers.
The pressure of competing on the same stage with younger performers is naturally the greatest, so she must bring her best to every performance.
Next up were Lin Jiarui, Tibuji Asma, and Wang Bolun, each of whom demonstrated an extremely high level of singing ability.
As the host He Han announced the names of the next singers, Lin Ran in the dressing room unconsciously looked at Xiao Qingfeng.
Because the next person to appear is Xia Luan!
