Chapter 148 - Just Look At Me And Take It As You Singing To Me Alone
Han Yuanjun lowered his head and looked at her gently. "Didn't you say that even in your dreams, you want to stand on the stage and sing? This is your best chance."
"I want to sing." Liang Zixuan was very nervous. Originally, she came here to help Qin Yu change her song, so she always looked calm and gathered. But now that Qin Yu was gone, Han Yuanjun wanted her to replace Qin Yu's place, so she couldn't help feeling nervous.
Even her legs began to tremble. "But...But...I...I'm not ready yet. I... I'm scared to go on stage. After all, I've never sung in front of everyone before!"
Han Yuanjun chuckled a little and held Liang Zixuan in his arms. "You don't have to be scared. I believe you can do it! Rest assured, I'll stay here and accompany you."
Han Yuanjun's words were like a tranquilizer to Liang Zixuan. She wasn't that nervous anymore. She raised her head and looked at his trusting gaze. She felt like the sky was falling on her, but she wasn't afraid.
Since Han Yuanjun was supporting her, what was there to be afraid of?
"Alright!" Liang Zixuan puffed her cheeks and nodded confidently. "Then I'll go change my clothes and put on some makeup."
Han Yuanjun raised his hand and stroked her head, "Ok, I'll accompany you."
Shi Jingguo returned from the lounge to the studio and told Huang Heng about the temporary change in the situation. When Huang Heng heard this, he was sweating a lot. He asked uncertainly, "Can Liang Zixuan really do that?"
Shi Jingguo sighed. "Even if it doesn't work, we still have to continue. We couldn't possibly not recording the program! Furthermore, from Young Master Han's tone, it sounded like Liang Zixuan was very powerful. I don't know how, but since Young Master Han said that she could do it, then she will definitely be able to do it!"
"Good, good." Huang Heng nodded. "I will tell the Assistant Director to let Liang Zixuan come last. Since Young Master Han wants her identity to remain a mystery, then let it be a mystery!"
Shi Jingguo looked at the time and patted Huang Heng's shoulder. "Time is up, let's start."
Once everyone was in position, Shi Jingguo uttered a few words into the walkie-talkie before starting to record the program.
The order of the resident singers to go onstage was determined by drawing lots. Basically, no one wanted to be the first performer because the first performer suffered the most.
Unfortunately, Shen Fenfang was the first to pick as the first performer.
She made an aggrieved expression at the camera, then took the microphone and walked up to the stage.
Her melody was unique, but because it was the same as the previous two episodes, the audience and the other singers were all tired of listening to it. The remaining few singers sat together and chatted, and basically, no one was listening to Shen Fenfang's singing.
"Qin Yu's rehearsal last night was very good. I think she'll definitely succeed this time."
Shi Jingguo listened to Han Yuanjun's words. Other than Huang Heng and Assistant Director, up until now, he had not told anyone else that he had changed the singer.
Wen Ying nodded. "That's right, I think there will be fierce competition today. Who knows, there might be a possibility of anyone getting eliminated!"
Shao Yingtai was so nervous that his palms were sweating. He pretended to be relaxed and said, "Come, let's have a bet. Who do you think will be eliminated? I'll make a bet. If your premonition is correct, I will treat you guys to a sumptuous dinner."
Later, the cameraman and Assistant Director saw several singers standing in a circle and betting on who would be eliminated.
Assistant Director: "..."
The cameraman: "..."
"Cough, cough ..." The Assistant Director deliberately coughed and said awkwardly, "Could you guys be more serious? If you guys do this, it's not easy for us to cut the post-production."
Wen Ying looked up and smiled. "Director Hu, come here. You also have to guess who will be eliminated in this episode."
Assistant Director Hu: "..."
One by one, all the singers started betting. Surprisingly, no one was worried about their condition at all.
Wen Ying immediately said, "I bet Shen Fenfang will be eliminated. Yingtai, you have to treat me to a one thousand RMB feast!"
Shao Yingtai laughed so hard that his eyes were bent. "Alright, then. I also bet on Shen Fenfang!"
Qian Huiqing and the others also said that they bet that Shen Fenfang would be eliminated tonight.
Assistant Director Hu looked sympathetically at the live broadcast television crew and the audience as Shen Fenfang pretended to sing with deep emotion. In his heart, he silently bet on Shen Fenfang too!
After Shen Fenfang finished singing, she ran back excitedly and handed the microphone to Wen Ying. "Now it's your turn."
Wen Ying glanced at her and walked up to the stage with the microphone in her hand.
Shen Fenfang did not feel that the atmosphere in the room was off as she deliberately looked around. "Aiya, I was so nervous just now. Luckily I finished singing first. I feel so relaxed now!"
Originally, everyone was extremely nervous, but after they had made a bet that Shen Fenfang would be eliminated, they were no longer nervous.
They looked at Shen Fenfang as if they were looking at a retard, holding back their laughter and ignoring her.
After the third singer finished singing it, Shi Jingguo used a walkie-talkie to ask Huang Heng about Liang Zixuan's situation. "Check Liang Zixuan's preparations."
Huang Heng said, "OK." and hurried to Liang Zixuan's waiting room. Seeing that her clothes had been changed and she was putting on makeup, he asked the makeup artist, "When can she be ready?"
The makeup artist put away the eyebrow pencil and smiled. "Done!"
"It's done, right?" Huang Heng was relieved. He immediately reported Liang Zixuan's situation to Shi Jingguo over the walkie-talkie.
Then he turned to her and said, "Liang Zixuan, don't be nervous. You have another singer in front of you. So, please relax."
Han Yuanjun interrupted him in a neutral tone. "Alright, Director Huang, stop talking. She isn't nervous, but if you keep pestering her, she will be nervous."
Seeing Liang Zixuan clenching her hands together, Huang Heng smiled embarrassedly. "Alright, I won't say anything anymore. I'll wait at the door and when it is your turn, I'll call you, okay?"
After Huang Heng left, Liang Zixuan took a deep breath and then another one. Han Yuanjun walked over and hugged her from behind. "It's okay, I'll be standing below the stage. If you're nervous, just look at me and take it as you singing to me alone."
Liang Zixuan nodded. "Alright. No matter where you stand, I'll be able to find you with one glance."
Han Yuanjun chuckled slightly. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, encouraging her. "You can do it!"
Huang Heng suddenly opened the door. "Liang Zixuan, it's your turn. Hurry!"
Liang Zixuan tiptoed and naughtily kissed Han Yuanjun's chin, then turned around and followed Huang Heng out.
In the studio, the host looked at the card in her hand and felt her head hurt. What the hell was going on?!
Suddenly, she had an idea. She turned the card in her hand towards the audience and said in a wronged tone. "I've encountered the biggest problem this season. The last singer is a bit mysterious and there isn't a single word written on my card! How should I introduce her then?"
The audience laughed.. They were all curious as to who this episode's mysterious singer was.
