As the familiar melody played, many viewers couldn't help but start to comment.
Is this flattery too obvious?
Can singing the mentor's song make the mentor turn around?
Besides, Han Hong isn't as fat as you!
Amidst the countless comments from the audience, the chubby girl began to sing: "In the early morning, I stand on the green pasture, seeing the divine eagle draped in the rosy light, like a cloud of auspiciousness flying over the blue sky, bringing blessings to the Tibetan children."
After a few lines, more viewers were moved to tears.
Trembling, off-key...
How could someone like this even make it to the recording stage?
It's a waste of this splendid stage.
Who would believe this isn't a favoritism case?
Or is it Wang Zixuan, that wastrel, deliberately trying to disgust everyone?
A true wastrel!
The hundreds of millions invested earlier are surely a total loss. Even the brain-dead fans probably won't last through the show.
Too heavy.
She must weigh over 400 pounds!
The four mentors also shook their heads in disappointment.
Yu Suting couldn't help but ask, "Is this the person you selected nationwide? Didn't you get deceived by your subordinates?"
Wang Zixuan, however, remained very calm and smiled, "I believe in them. This contestant is just nervous. If you listen carefully, her voice is still quite good."
Wang Zihao said, "Non-professionals are bound to be nervous on stage. But isn't your show too raw?"
Wang Zixuan smiled, "We want the real deal, the genuine competition. What's the point if everything is rehearsed?"
In fact, these contestants had already been on stage before, but there were no judges, no audience, and no dozens of cameras.
These changes are enough to affect the contestants' mindset.
Those with strong mental fortitude can adjust, while those with weak mental fortitude will only get more nervous and perform worse.
Wang Zixuan also hoped to select contestants with beautiful voices and strong mental fortitude. Otherwise, facing tens of thousands of people at the Bird's Nest during the peak night, with a national live broadcast, they would surely collapse, tarnishing the reputation of "The Voice of China."
"In the evening, I stand on the high mountain, hoping the railway will reach my hometown, a giant dragon crossing the mountains, bringing health to the snowy plateau."
Just as many people were about to change the channel or turn off the TV to sleep, the chubby girl's voice stabilized, and everyone stopped their actions.
This chubby girl's voice seemed to be listenable.
The camera switched to the other side, where Hua Shao and the chubby girl's family stood backstage.
The chubby girl's family waved their fists, shouting, "Turn, turn."
"That is a magical celestial road, bringing warmth to the border regions, from then on, the mountains are no longer high, the roads no longer long, and all ethnic groups gather together."
By this point, the chubby girl's voice characteristics were perfectly displayed.
Clear, crisp.
Very similar to Han Hong's voice.
Just by the voice, it gave a sense of vastness, as if one were really on the celestial road.
Han Hong, without hesitation, pressed the button and turned her chair around.
Seeing the chubby girl on stage, Han Hong was a bit surprised but soon became immersed in the chubby girl's singing.
Then, Tan Yinglun, Zhang Xueyou, and Hu Chengqing almost simultaneously pressed their buttons.
Such a voice is too rare.
Backstage, the chubby girl's fans were delighted to see all four mentors turn around.
With all four mentors turned around, the chubby girl stopped singing.
There was no choice; the time given by the broadcasting authority was too short.
"Clap, clap, clap"
Amidst the applause of the live audience, Hu Chengqing smiled, "All four mentors have turned around. You must be very happy, right? Introduce yourself."
"My name is Wu Chen, I am 25 years old, and I have been unemployed at home for more than a year after graduation."
Han Hong immediately frowned, "You haven't been looking for a job?"
The chubby girl, a bit embarrassed, said, "I interviewed at many companies, but none of them hired me."
Hearing the chubby girl say this, everyone understood.
With this weight, a regular office chair might not even hold up.
Hu Chengqing smiled, "That's because they don't recognize talent. I wanted to press the button as soon as I heard the first line. But you were a bit nervous, and I wanted to give you more time to prove yourself."
Han Hong immediately pointed out, "At the beginning, you were also shaking your head. Don't resort to any means to snatch people. I was the first to turn around."
Tan Yinglun smiled, "The order doesn't matter."
Then he said to the chubby girl, "Let me tell you about your problem. Your problem is that you haven't perfectly showcased your voice yet. If you join my team, I will definitely make you stand on the stage of the peak night."
Zhang Xueyou, who seemed not to be good with words, directly threw out his trump card, "If you choose me as your mentor, I will make you a guest at my concert."
This was not part of Wang Zixuan's design.
He thought that without Yang Kun, this gag wouldn't happen, but he didn't expect Zhang Xueyou to use this strategy to attract students.
Han Hong immediately called out, "I can also make you a guest at my concert. Don't you think our voices are very similar?"
Tan Yinglun said seriously, "Don't be the second Han Hong. I will teach you to be yourself. Choosing me is definitely the right choice."
Seeing the four mentors completely lose their high and cold demeanor and start to snatch people, the audience was amused.
While Wu Chen was singing, she was also trying to showcase her voice, hoping to make all four mentors turn around to prove herself. But seeing the four mentors now competing for her, she was a bit at a loss.
Hu Chengqing sadly covered his face and said, "You must like the other three very much and now don't know how to choose. I knew that being a mentor with them would be a sad story. You choose, I can accept any choice."
Although Wu Chen was fat, she wasn't stupid and quickly said, "I also like Teacher Harlin very much."
Hu Chengqing immediately got off his chair and smiled, "Then come, I know you won't lie to me."
Han Hong also got off her chair and said, "Harlin, don't make it hard for her. Come, choose according to your own thoughts."
Tan Yinglun and Zhang Xueyou also got off their chairs and stood on the stage, making their final efforts.
Wu Chen hesitated slightly and said, "The mentor I choose is..."
The four mentors also looked at Wu Chen expectantly.
Just as everyone was waiting to see which mentor the chubby girl would choose, the screen switched, and an advertisement appeared.
Damn, an advertisement!
Deserved to be tricked by Wang.
Daring to cut to an advertisement at such a critical moment.
At this moment, many people felt a bit schadenfreude towards the advertisers, completely ignoring that the ad time was cut by Evolution Media.
With just one contestant, "The Voice of China" had already won over many viewers.
The splendid stage, the beautiful voice, the clever blind selection, the mentors' shameless competition for students...
Oh, and Hua Shao's crazy ads.
What did he say exactly?
Apart from saying Naisi twice and knowing in advance that Naisi was the sponsor, the three words Naisi were the only ones clearly heard, the rest were completely unclear.
