After quietly listening to Yu Yin Yin finish singing the entire song "Ying Yue," Xia Qing Tian felt her happiness had returned!
The melody, which Ling Feng Han had subtly adjusted, was truly suited for Yu Yin Yin.
Yu Yin Yin had previously imitated Xia Qing Tian's songs and meticulously studied Xia Qing Tian's vocal techniques, including her turn effects. Now, covering this song was as smooth as flowing water for her.
Dropping the hand holding the microphone, Yu Yin Yin turned to look at Xia Qing Tian, offering a smile.
Xia Qing Tian also smiled and applauded, acknowledging that Yu Yin Yin had sung wonderfully.
The host, finally feeling that the atmosphere had been salvaged, immediately invited the judges to give their feedback according to the procedure.
However, the judges all turned their gazes towards Xia Qing Tian.
Xia Qing Tian was momentarily taken aback, then chuckled dryly, holding her microphone as she spoke, "This contestant, Yu Yin Yin, is a very promising newcomer from Gu Shi Entertainment. Her agent had already informed me, and I had authorized the cover of 'Ying Yue.' Teachers, please feel free to give your honest opinions; even strict feedback is welcome, as it can encourage her progress."
Musicians were highly protective of copyrights. Due to the prior unpleasantness with Mo Jia Ning, they first wanted to see Xia Qing Tian's stance before deciding whether to continue their critique.
Hearing Xia Qing Tian's statement, everyone felt reassured and began to voice their opinions. The first judge smiled and said, "Absolutely fantastic. 'Ying Yue' dominated the charts as soon as it was released. I've listened to it several times privately. Both the original performance by Teacher Xia and this contestant's cover are exceptionally good. I personally love it, and I'm very optimistic about your future. Truly great."
"Since Teacher Xia said it's okay to be strict, I will be a bit strict," said the second judge with a smile. "It's evident you've put in a great deal of effort, making some adaptations to the melody and vocal style that better suit you, which is excellent. However, I feel the turns in the second verse were a bit forced. I must say, Teacher Xia's song is truly outstanding; every note is perfectly placed. You can imitate or even surpass it, but it must also align with your own capabilities. If you could slightly moderate it, it would be even more perfect."
"My opinion differs from the previous teacher. I actually think your turns are fine, and he might be a bit too critical," the music industry veteran chuckled. "I particularly love this song, and both your and Teacher Xia's singing styles are excellent. I sincerely hope to have the opportunity to collaborate with you both in the future. Seeing so many outstanding new talents makes me very gratified. I hope that you, this fresh blood, will create even more excellent musical works for the Chinese music scene."
After the three judges finished their comments, Yu Yin Yin bowed and walked off the stage. By the edge of the curtain, she saw Mo Jia Ning, whose face was filled with shock.
Mo Jia Ning stared intently at Yu Yin Yin's face, her eyes wide open.
"You... why are you looking at me like that?" Yu Yin Yin's gaze shifted, and she felt inexplicably guilty.
"Hmph," Mo Jia Ning snorted, then turned and walked away, her hands clenched tightly into fists at her sides.
She seemed to have discovered Yu Yin Yin's secret!
The recording proceeded relatively smoothly. Besides Mo Jia Ning's performance mishap, another female singer broke her voice due to nervousness. However, her overall performance was stable, and the judges gave her a chance to sing a cappella at the end, allowing her to regain some composure.
While awaiting the broadcast, Wan Meng Entertainment began its marketing efforts. When Yu Lin Wan received the lawyer's letter from Gu Shi Entertainment, she chose to ignore it for the time being, as she had more important matters to attend to.
"Are you sure about what you're saying?" Yu Lin Wan asked Mo Jia Ning with a look of utter disbelief.
"It's true!" Mo Jia Ning had also spent money to have someone investigate and thoroughly uncover Yu Yin Yin's activities over the past two years. "She is that disfigured voice double from back then! I don't know where she had the plastic surgery done..."
Speaking of this, Mo Jia Ning's teeth itched with anger. That Yu Yin Yin was shameless, creating a fake face to deceive the public.
The surgery was quite successful...
Why hadn't it completely ruined that b*tch!
If Mo Jia Ning hadn't witnessed Yu Yin Yin singing live and heard her voice and singing style that was so similar to Xia Qing Tian's, it would have been truly difficult for her to connect those two faces.
Earlier, at the talent show recording, Yu Yin Yin had deliberately used a different singing style to prevent Mo Jia Ning from discovering her identity. Coupled with the successful surgery, she had managed to keep her secret.
But now...
Mo Jia Ning's eyes gleamed. "Fans are the most extreme. If we expose her plastic surgery and the fact that she was terminated by Wan Meng Entertainment for being disobedient, what face will she have to continue in this industry!"
Hearing Mo Jia Ning's words, Yu Lin Wan also felt that this strategy was feasible.
However, considering the young master she had never met, Yu Lin Wan still hesitated, unable to make up her mind for a moment.
Mo Jia Ning was unwilling to miss this opportunity. After much persuasion, Yu Lin Wan became very tempted.
Just then, Mo Jia Ning's agent burst into the office with a look of panic, causing both Yu Lin Wan and Mo Jia Ning to frown.
"Who let you barge in like this! Have you no manners!" Mo Jia Ning, leveraging her perceived authority, immediately scolded loudly.
"First, first, look at this!" Mo Jia Ning's agent had no time to care about manners at this moment. Her face pale, she handed the tablet to Yu Lin Wan.
Today was the first day of the mini-variety show broadcast. After editing, Mo Jia Ning and Yu Yin Yin's performance of "Ying Yue" was placed as the first segment.
Watching Xia Qing Tian's opening performance, Mo Jia Ning rolled her eyes and muttered, "Striking a pose..."
Although Yu Lin Wan didn't respond verbally, she silently agreed in her heart.
Next was Mo Jia Ning's performance. The coordination of costumes, makeup, and lighting was indeed ethereal and quite convincing.
The moment Mo Jia Ning opened her mouth to sing the first note...
Yu Lin Wan was completely stunned. Mo Jia Ning was even more incredulous. "What's going on! Where's the voice tuning! Wasn't it arranged for someone to do post-production tuning!"
"That person was investigated by Gu Shi Entertainment for accepting bribes and was fired. He absconded with the money without informing us!" Mo Jia Ning's agent's expression was grim. "This broadcast is completely without post-production tuning, so..."
"What!" Mo Jia Ning's scream interrupted her agent's explanation. "No!"
She frantically reached out to close the video but accidentally clicked on the playback comments. Immediately, a barrage of messages popped up.
[God! I'll pay a fortune for a pair of ears that haven't heard this!]
[Quick, look at Xia Qing Tian's expression, it's indescribable, hilarious!]
[Xia Qing Tian can be the original singer or the plaintiff.]
[Holy cow, with this level of skill, I could do it too!]
[I thought it was just a perfunctory audition, but it's this real?]
[No, has no one considered that out of all the versions of 'Ying Yue' remakes that have come out so far, there's only the 'cat meow' version of covers, and this is why? Because it's too difficult to sing ahhhh!]
[Besides her commendable courage, I really don't know what else to say.]
[Help me, how can she sing so terribly yet look so confident?]
[What the heck? Is this it??? Wan Meng Entertainment's favorite daughter is just this good???]
Seeing this comment, Yu Lin Wan's face darkened completely. She forcefully threw the tablet in her hand, and the entire office fell silent.
