Chapter 13's competition is fierce!
Reading Settings
Min Wendi is a single mother; the father of her twins died before the children were born. She went from a carefree woman to a middle-aged woman. That experience felt longer than several lifetimes. "Homecoming" is a rock song, roughly meaning that my soul came into this world adrift and without a home, my body entangled in the mundane affairs of the world, unsure of its meaning. Everyone must leave their mark on this world; otherwise, where should one go?
Among the four judges, He Lingling was clearly in charge of controlling the flow of the show. He started by bringing up the topic: "I haven't heard the song 'Homecoming' before. What kind of song is it?"
Pang Ying knows the answer to this question! "Teacher He, it's normal that you haven't heard of it. This song is from thirty years ago, when rock music was on the rise in China. It belongs to heavy metal rock, so the audience is relatively small. Moreover, the melody of this song is very catchy, so it's not very popular."
Yuwei, who was standing next to her, added, "Yes, this is a very difficult song to sing. I didn't expect her to start with such a powerful song. It seems that Mama Min is very talented."
After the two finished speaking, He Lingling turned to look at Shen Jingyuan on her other side, signaling that it was time for him to speak.
Shen Jingyuan said indifferently, "The two teachers' statements are very comprehensive." He probably copied it from Baidu Baike; the official version is so ridiculous it's painful to read.
He Lingling: ... ...
With this setup, it would be impossible to survive without me.
Judging from the twins' good looks, Min Wendi must be a beauty, but her real appearance still gave netizens a little shock!
Time cannot diminish beauty!
My soul floats in the dust
Whether you can see clearly or not, you are still a tainted version of yourself.
There was no deeper meaning in the smile.
It is my sigh for a friendly world.
Women's Revenge Alliance: I was going to say this aunt is so beautiful, but as soon as she opened her mouth, I was completely blown away!
The national first-class protected skyrocket: That husky voice! I'd donate two packs of cigarettes to my sister!
wsnd-hhh: Music student reporting for duty, quite skilled! Assessment complete!
"Until everything is far away from me!"
It's too late to chase after them.
Looking at everything, I sighed!
The last three lines were sustained high notes, each higher than the last. Applause erupted, and the cheers from the audience lasted for over a minute. Min Wendi's final score was 405. With invalid votes removed from the 500 audience members, this was a score exceeding four-fifths, a very good result that undoubtedly puts immense pressure on the next contestants.
Yi Cheng, the second performer, felt a pang of bitterness. The audience was still reeling from his previous song, and he was performing a less mainstream bel canto piece. He was likely to be eliminated in the first round.
Yi Cheng is a classmate of Jingjingzi, a popular internet celebrity with millions of followers. He studied musical theatre performance in college, a major he pursued purely out of passion. Upon graduation, he was immediately dragged home to inherit the family business. This incident also seems to be an attempt to advertise his family's business.
Yi Cheng's appearance could only be described as handsome. At first, everyone underestimated this ordinary passerby, but unexpectedly, even Shen Jingyuan was surprised when he spoke.
Shen Jingyuan: "This song is called Silver Moon in Chinese. It is a representative work of bel canto. It is not very difficult, but it is very technical. The whole song uses almost all the basic techniques of bel canto exam. There are no flaws in the performance so far."
Jili Guala: Wow, no way, this young man is quite talented! So you're the young master!
Old Shen's wife, a fan: Oh my, I can hear Old Shen praising someone! Is it raining gold bars from the sky?! Don't stop me, I'm going home to get a sack!
Jingjingzi-Jingjiajun: I knew my wife's recommendations would never be bad!
