Chapter 8 is all about satisfaction, so there's no room for regret.
The accompaniment is soothing, and the singing is sincere.
It is filled with rich emotions, as if it is telling a story.
Chen Yuan slowly closed his eyes, tapping his right foot lightly on the ground to keep time, not looking at the screen, but relying solely on his ears to listen.
The singer wearing the white rabbit headgear has a very good, clear voice, yet it is full of emotion, which is fundamentally different from those energetic pop songs.
Upbeat, energetic songs, or songs that hit high notes, directly impact the listener. Anyone who hears them will give a thumbs up, knowing that the singer is amazing.
But these narrative ballads are like a fine old wine. At first, you might just find them pleasant to listen to, but if you delve deeper into the emotions within, you can find resonance.
In other words, it's not the person choosing the song, but the song choosing the person.
If you're not on the same wavelength, you'll just think the song sounds nice, maybe even add it to your favorites, but you'll only listen to it a couple of times and then never listen to it again.
It wasn't until one day, when someone played this song again, that I suddenly remembered that I had heard it before, thought it was nice, and even added it to my favorites.
However, if you are on the same wavelength, when you hear a song full of stories and emotions, many images will appear in your mind, and you may even feel sad and shed tears when you are moved.
The little white rabbit singer is now singing this type of song.
However, what puzzled Chen Yuan was that he seemed to have never heard this song before. Could it be an original song?
They really have guts.
To dare to present an original song in the very first competition, especially one that is so heartfelt and not suitable for a competition.
But come to think of it, the song I prepared seems to be of this kind as well?
Chen Yuan listened quietly, tapping his foot to the beat, wondering if the singer would unleash a high-note performance at the end of the song, something extremely common in music variety shows.
Although it was a heartfelt ballad, hitting a high note at the end definitely earned a lot of votes.
Just like now.
The screen behind the stage showed just over 300 votes, which likely included some leniency from the audience towards the first episode.
Many viewers pressed the vote button as soon as she uttered her first sentence.
Now that the song is more than halfway through, any further additions will only result in a steady increase, eventually settling at around 350 votes.
But if a higher note were added, it might jump directly to 400 votes.
Even though it might not fit the overall tone of the song, it still manages to garner votes and make the audience think the singer is amazing, especially when they're masked.
This is a music competition; if you can show off your skills to a certain extent, you're more likely to get a good ranking.
The singing was still coming from the screen, but it was nearing its end.
"The pine tree standing atop the mountain is being blown by the wind through the fields."
"The old man looked at the doorway with teary eyes."
"But the boy from back then still has nothing in his hands."
"It can no longer hold up a shattered dream..."
As the last long note faded away, the accompaniment also quietly faded out.
Some audience members who were immersed in the song immediately snapped out of their reverie and pressed the voting button.
The vote count, which had been stagnant, saw another surge, eventually settling at 356 votes.
Looking at the final vote count on the big screen, Chen Yuan nodded slightly; it was almost exactly what he had guessed.
The little white rabbit singer on stage is probably a newcomer to music variety shows, yet he didn't even hit a high note to garner votes.
Getting only 356 tickets in the end is definitely a bit low; they should be placed at the very end of the queue.
Based on Chen Yuan's years of experience, the 500 audience members, though nominally public judges, were not professional music critics; most were just there for entertainment.
Barring any major mistakes, most people will press the vote button.
If you were to sing a typical upbeat pop song and show off your skills a little, getting 400 tickets wouldn't be too difficult.
......
on the stage.
The little white rabbit singer has finished singing, and the microphone has been taken out of the headgear.
After bowing deeply to all the audience members below, he walked back to the backstage area from the side.
The cameraman was also filming the little white rabbit, seemingly trying to capture some of her emotions, such as resentment or dissatisfaction with the performance.
Surprisingly, this innocent-looking singer didn't even glance back at the screen after finishing her performance, seemingly completely unconcerned about how many votes she received.
Xu Lei, who had been waiting on the side of the stage, saw Xiaobaitu finish her performance and leave the stage, and then slowly walked onto the stage and raised the microphone.
"Thank you so much to singer Little White Rabbit for this song."
"Here I want to emphasize that this song is an original song by Little White Rabbit. It hasn't been released yet, and this is the first time it's been performed in public."
"The song title is also very interesting, called 'Pine on the Mountain Top, Rainbow in the City,' and the emotions it contains brought tears to my eyes."
"I received a total of 356 tickets during the performance, and I imagine there were 356 audience members present who could all feel the emotions in the song and recall their grandparents who stayed in their hometown."
"Thanks again to singer Little White Rabbit for giving our Masked Singer a great start."
"Now, please tell me, audience members, do you want to continue listening?"
Xu Lei turned the microphone toward the audience.
A unified shout of "Think!" immediately resounded throughout the entire studio.
As a star host on Blue Whale TV, Xu Lei is indeed very experienced, and he is extremely professional, at least in terms of engaging the audience's emotions.
The audience members immediately emerged from the emotions of the previous songs and were able to listen to the next contestant's performance in a completely new state.
Listening is the core of this music variety show.
......
Under the guidance of the staff.
The little white rabbit has walked through the internal passage and arrived at the sofa rest area backstage.
After all the singers have finished performing, they will sit together in this place to talk about and comment on each other's performances, which is also a major highlight.
We arrived at the rest area.
There were no other singers yet, so Little Rabbit didn't sit on the largest sofa in the middle, but instead chose a small sofa on the side.
She was still wearing the thick rabbit headgear, making it impossible to see her expression.
And right after sitting down.
Seemingly to avoid making her too lonely, backstage host Wu Yuchen had already walked to the sofa next to her and sat down with a nice smile, accompanied by a cameraman.
Wu Yuchen nodded to the little white rabbit first, then asked in a curious tone.
"Hello, little white rabbit."
"I just saw backstage that you didn't seem to care about how many votes you got, and you walked off the stage without hesitation."
"Do you think...you'll get a lot of votes? Or is there some other reason?"
It is clear.
This is a special interview for a program, used to edit out the highlights of a variety show.
But the little white rabbit did not answer as Wu Yuchen expected. Instead, it gently shook its head while holding the headgear and then calmly said...
"I don't know how many votes I'll get, and I don't really care."
"I came to participate in this music variety show simply to let everyone hear my voice and sing my songs well."
"That's a great idea." Although the interview didn't reveal any exciting details, Wu Yuchen nodded in strong agreement and continued with a smile.
"When performing masked, the voice is the only thing that can be heard, and the only way to express one's views."
"Choosing to bring a brand new, unreleased ballad to this stage, I'm sure you, Little Rabbit, have your own reasons."
"But I have to tell you that... you got 356 tickets in the performance just now. Since you were the first to perform, it's still too early to tell whether this result is good or bad."
"But if this result only ranks last, will you feel regretful? Because this is a very heartfelt song, and it's the first time I've performed it."
Seemingly without needing to think at all, the little white rabbit's voice remained calm.
"I have no regrets, not even the slightest bit."
"Out of 500 listeners, 356 voted for me, which means I have gained the approval of more than half of the listeners. I am so satisfied that I have no regrets."
"I just need to do better and satisfy my audience who appreciate me, and that's enough."
The little white rabbit's answer clearly surprised Wu Yuchen, who was momentarily at a loss for words and could only manage a somewhat awkward laugh.
"Little White Rabbit, what you just said is making me more and more curious... who exactly are you in the music industry?"
The screen, which was being used for viewing, lit up again, and the accompaniment began to play.
Wu Yuchen immediately raised his hand to indicate the screen.
"We'll talk later, let's take a look at the performance of the second contestant first..."
