Lin Chudong was stunned for a moment, "Alright, I'm good with that."
"Then it's settled. Bring the band this time, and we'll record for two episodes straight."
"Understood."
After hanging up the phone, Liang Yin asked excitedly.
"The program team invited us?"
"Yeah, you heard it too. Two episodes straight, first a supporting performance, and then a challenge in the second episode."
"Great!"
Wang Zhi said excitedly, "Brother Fei, you said you'd bring a musician for the guest performance. Are you bringing me?"
Lin Chudong shook his head and pointed at Guo Xiaoliang. "I'm bringing Xiaoliang. I'll send you a score later. You practice it quickly. It's a prelude, and it's not easy. Yang Han and I will sing with you."
Guo Xiaoliang was immediately excited. "Great! Brother Fei, I'll definitely practice hard!"
Guo Xiaoliang was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect that since he was the newest person in the company, Brother Fei would bring him on for such a good program first.
Wang Zhi looked dejected. "Brother Fei, I'm your first underling! Why didn't you bring me first?"
Lin Chudong patted his shoulder and said,
"Firstly, you're a bassist, and I need a prelude for the acoustic guitar."
"Secondly, you'll be on in the second episode, so don't worry."
"Third, your looks are still a bit lacking compared to Xiaoliang; to put it bluntly, you're not handsome enough."
Wang Zhi's lips twitched. "Brother Fei, you're being too harsh."
"It's not that I'm being harsh, it's just that reality is cruel."
Jing Feifei suddenly sang from the side.
"In a tiny company, stabbing, stabbing, stabbing, there's a tiny bassist, so angry he screams for his mom."
Wang Zhi:…
Liang Yin clapped her hands and said excitedly.
"Everyone get ready, we're going to Changsha to record the show! I'll book the tickets tonight! We leave Friday!"
...
The next morning, Lin Chudong received a package – an electric guitar.
The moment he opened it, Lin Chudong was stunned.
It almost blinded him! This guitar was so flashy! Covered in diamonds!
Chen Jianguo was dumbfounded, "Wow, this was glued on by hand, wasn't it?"
Lin Chudong touched it; indeed, it was glued on by hand. If he took this on stage, the effect would be explosive.
He glanced at the sender. Lin Chudong was a bit surprised and quickly sent Deng Siqing a message on WeChat.
"Sister Deng, I received the guitar. Did you make it yourself?"
"Hmm, do you like it?"
"I like it very much. You shouldn't have," Lin Chudong said, touching the instrument. He was a little flattered. Sister Deng was too kind, wasn't she?
Deng Siqing rubbed the blisters on her hands, staring at the WeChat interface and smiling foolishly.
He said he liked it, did he mean he liked me? …
After putting away the instrument, he headed straight for the Film and Television Base.
Lin Qiqi was here to make a guest appearance today, and everyone was very excited, but no one dared to disturb her while she was working.
Lin Qiqi was a little dissatisfied with the role, "Da Fei, why are my lines just those few phrases over and over? Besides preparing for the drug test, it's just preparing for the drug test. Give me more lines."
Lin Chudong said, "I wanted you to play the female lead, but Sister Song wouldn't allow it. It's just a guest appearance. That's enough."
Lin Qiqi pouted, "Alright."
After putting on her makeup and the cameras started rolling, Lin Qiqi immediately got into character.
A girl in her early twenties was made up to look like a police chief in her forties, and there wasn't a hint of awkwardness. Lin Qiqi's acting skills were quite impressive; she didn't just rely on her family connections and her incredibly beautiful face to get where she was.
"Great, cut! Congratulations to Qiqi for wrapping up her scenes!"
Lin Qiqi shrugged. This was the fastest she'd ever wrapped up a role.
After filming ended, Lin Qiqi pulled Lin Chudong into the break room and closed the door, saying,
"Da Fei, I learned something fun."
"Oh? What's fun?"
Lin Qiqi took out a cup of milk tea and two straws.
She put one straw into the cup, then put the other straw in her mouth.
"Mmm..."
Lin Qiqi gestured for Lin Chudong to bite the other straw.
Lin Chudong's cheeks immediately flushed slightly. This young lady had clearly learned this from a short video. These short videos nowadays were really poisoning young people!
Lin Chudong bit the straw, and milk tea went from the cup into Lin Qiqi's mouth, and then into Da Fei's mouth.
Lin Qiqi's face was flushed, and after taking a few sips, she said.
"This is called imported milk tea. Is it good, Da Fei?"
"Delicious."
Lin Qiqi found a chair and sat down. "I'm going to film tomorrow. Stay with me for a while today."
"Okay."
Lin Chudong also sat beside her. The two of them were in this empty rest area, but they didn't feel bored at all.
Lin Qiqi reached out her hand and put it in front of him.
"Hold hands."
Lin Chudong offered his hand, and the two of them held hands.
Holding Lin Qiqi's warm little hand, Lin Chudong felt more relaxed than ever before.
These past few days have been exhausting. I have to rehearse with Yang Han in the evenings, and the show recording is the day after tomorrow. Luckily, my physique is +1, or I really wouldn't be able to handle it.
Lin Qiqi said, "Sister Song asked, when will you give me the song for the Spring Festival Gala?"
"Wait until I finish filming this drama. Did the director's team contact you for the first audition?"
"No, Sister Song said I don't need the first audition, just the second one."
"...Alright."
There's still a gap, isn't there? Look at her; that's what it means to be a big shot.
After finishing her milk tea, Lin Qiqi said, "Da Fei, massage my feet for me."
Lin Qiqi lifted her leg and rested her small foot on Lin Chudong's leg.
After taking off her shoes and socks, Lin Chudong massaged her feet.
"I'm so tired, my feet ache."
Lin Chudong sniffed, "They don't smell bad."
Lin Qiqi's face flushed immediately, "Stinky big fly, I'm not talking to you anymore!"
On the day of the third episode recording of I Am a Singer.
Lin Chudong originally didn't want the crew to take a break. The Film and Television Base and the equipment were all calculated by the day, and he could go record in the evening after finishing filming.
However, Liang Yin was worried that he was too tired, so she gave everyone an afternoon off to ensure they were in the best mental state.
Lin Chudong took a nap on the plane, and his energy and spirit immediately recovered a lot after landing.
Liang Yin was a little surprised, "Da Fei, you're made of iron, your physical fitness is quite strong."
Lin Chudong smiled. This was all thanks to the Constitution +1. If he drew a few more, he might be even stronger. Of course, he was talking about physical fitness, not anything else.
This business trip was again a collective effort of the entire company, plus a Yang Han who rushed back specifically to rehearse with Lin Chudong.
Lin Chudong said, "Sorry to put you through this, it's been hard on you."
Yang Han could have waited for him in Changsha, but she specifically flew back just for the rehearsal.
Yang Han smiled, "It's nothing. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fun for me to wait there for a week. It's better to stay in Magic City."
The group got off the plane, and the director's team sent someone to pick them up.
Coming to Mango TV, Hong Wentao walked over warmly and shook hands with Lin Chudong.
"Musical genius, I'm counting on you for the ratings of these two episodes."
Lin Chudong smiled, "Director, you flatter me. It's an honor for me to be on this phenomenon-level variety show."
Hong Wentao said, "If these two episodes go well, then it's the finals. I'm planning to broadcast both episodes of the finals live. Da Fei, you need to work hard and make it to the finals."
Lin Chudong said, "Okay, I'll work hard. I love live broadcasts."
Hong Wentao:…
He had also watched the program "Shout It Out to Me" during the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala broadcast. If Da Fei, this kid, went live, he didn't know what kind of trouble he would cause.
But fortunately, this was a variety show, not as serious as the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. Even if something went wrong, it would just be considered part of the show's effect, and Hong Wentao didn't care.
"For the first episode, you're going after the queen, Zhang Yiran. Is that okay?"
"Okay."
"We'll record the first round first. I liked the duet score with Yang Han. What song are you singing for the second round's challenge?"
"No More Hesitation."
"Great, that suits me. Let's go in and do makeup, rehearse once, and then start the official recording."
Alright!
Two hours later, the show recording officially began.
When Zhang Yiran took the stage, the help-singing star they saw was the veteran singer Xu Feng!
Zhang Yiran and Xu Feng sang a heartfelt duet of Eternal Love, instantly igniting the crowd. Sister Zhang and Xu Feng's duet perfectly performed the song.
Xu Feng was also a实力派 [powerhouse] in the music world, with extremely strong singing skills. The two of them were a perfect match, and their performance this time also won everyone's applause.
Hong Wentao was extremely satisfied and said,
"Da Fei, Sister Zhang's performance is hard to follow. It's up to you."
Lin Chudong nodded.
After Zhang Yiran's song ended, she stayed on stage, enjoying the applause for a while, and then said,
"Next, please welcome Yang Han and her helper. I don't know who this mysterious guest is. Please give them a round of applause!"
The stage was completely dark.
Then, a spotlight shone, illuminating the side of the stage, where the musicians were.
Guo Xiaoliang sat on a chair, holding a guitar, and began to play a beautiful acoustic guitar intro.
Liang Yin and the others in the audience got excited, "Xiaoliang is pretty handsome!!"
Wang Zhi pouted, "Not quite as good as me."
After about twenty seconds of the intro, the lights suddenly dimmed.
Guo Xiaoliang only had this short amount of stage time, but he was already satisfied. This was Brother Fei's effort to get him a performance opportunity.
Otherwise, he would only be able to sit in the dark musician's area off to the side.
Then, the lights came up from behind.
Two black shadows appeared in everyone's view.
A man and a woman walked hand in hand.
The audience below immediately gasped.
"Da Fei! It's really Da Fei!"
The prelude ended, and the two walked under the spotlight.
Yang Han's ethereal voice resonated throughout the venue.
"Every day I need your love
I want you to guess my thoughts I_love_you I just want you to make every day of mine exciting Say it every day
What exactly is true love? I_love_you How much can be said faster than imagined!"
This time, there was no emotional build-up, no fancy theatrics, just a sweet, direct attack from the moment they opened their mouths!
Instantly, the entire audience erupted in cheers!
Liang Yin, backstage, crossed her arms and said, "They're just singing, why do they have to hold hands?"
Chen Jianguo glanced at her. "It's a performance. That's just how love song duets are. Are you jealous?"
Liang Yin quickly denied it. "What am I jealous of? I was just asking! Don't talk nonsense, Uncle Chen!"
Chen Jianguo smiled and continued watching the performance.
Even after hearing Yang Han's voice a hundred times, it was still incredibly stunning.
The two of them held hands, standing in the middle of the stage, just like a couple in love.
Although Yang Han was a few years older, she looked very young, and they were quite a match.
Lin Chudong picked up the microphone, and his voice, full of magnetism, filled the entire venue.
"Is it that our emotions are too abundant and generous,
Or is it heaven's arrangement?
Is it that we were originally of the same kind,
Or unwilling to be too well-behaved?
It was that one time when the appointment didn't come,
Leaving me to cry like a child.
Is it that we were eager to prove our existence?"
还是不爱会发呆."
Lin Chudong's opening lines immediately ignited cheers from the audience.
As expected of Da Fei, every performance was stunning.
Unlike before, Da Fei didn't bring his guitar this time. There was no rock and roll, only a gentle duet.
He was no longer the unrestrained figure of the past, but instead, he seemed a little shy.
"Da Fei looks like a shy young man!"
The two sang together.
"Both: Must Love ---
Lin Chudong: Otherwise, where does joy come from? Both: Must Love Lin Chudong: Otherwise, where does sadness come from? Both: Must Love Lin Chudong: Otherwise, I'll lose my future Both: Feels like I can't help myself, so I fail
But every day is wonderful…"
The voices of the two perfectly blended, a textbook duet.
Sweet, absolutely sweet.
So sweet it was cloying.
The melody of this song was catchy, and the two singers' extreme performance made everyone feel sweet in their hearts.
This sweet attack was another knockout! Zhang Yiran's side was also a duet, and both were very good, but compared to this one, it immediately lost its soul.
Of course, everyone knew that Lin Chudong and Yang Han actually had no scandals, just a collaboration to sing a song, but even so, this performance gave everyone the feeling of watching a romance drama.
Such an audio-visual feast was undoubtedly another god-level performance!
"Every day I need your love
My thoughts are for you to guess..."
In the final verse, Yang Han finished the song. Both of them had a rosy glow on their faces, just like shy lovers, which further ignited the cheers and standing applause of the entire audience!
Chen Jianguo rubbed his beard and said, "Being young is really good."
Jia Lu said, "Fei-ge's song is truly amazing. I even want to set it as my mobile phone ringtone."
"You can squat at the recording studio later. As soon as Fei-ge finishes recording, you can download it. You'll be the first to use this ringtone."
"You have a point!"
After the entire cast finished singing, Hong Wentao stood up and said.
"Everyone, we'll take a fifteen-minute break. We'll record the second round shortly!"
The audience, all industry professionals, understood the routine.
Recording two episodes at once was already a considerate move; some shows would record five or
six episodes in one go, practically exhausting the audience.
While the audience rested, Hong Wentao led the contestants to the break room and said, "Alright
everyone, it's time to announce the rankings. To make the recording smoother, I won't reveal them
beforehand. Get yourselves ready, and try to keep your reactions genuine."
Everyone nodded; after all, this was pre-recorded, not live, so they needed to create a good show effect.
"Alright, ready, 3, 2, 1, go." "Next, I will announce the rankings for this episode of I Am a Singer."
"Everyone says I like to create suspense, so I'll be direct this time." "I'll announce the last place first."
"The last place in this round of voting goes to Wang Xu and Li Shudong."
Several singers' gazes landed on a young singer. Wang Xu stood up helplessly, bowed to everyone,
and his guest performer also looked somewhat dejected.
This program was too challenging for him. Everyone was belting high notes, which he wasn't good
at, so this ranking was inevitable.
"Next is the first place." "The first place in this round of voting..." "Yang Han, Da Fei!"
