Chapter 1011: I wanna walk from south to north!

In the studio.

Everyone was waiting in breathless anticipation!

The house band took their place and was joined by a group of folk musicians.

Intrigued, Chen Guang said, "Folk music?"

Amy wondered, "And what is he going to sing?"

Zhang Xia had already stopped talking. She was carefully observing the stage and waiting for The Clown to start singing.

Famous host Chen Yidong sat up straight. "I've been waiting for him for a long time. It's finally his turn again. As long as he uses his real voice, we can match it against those celebrities on the B-list and above, and we'll most likely guess who he is. I don't even wish to find out who Petal Shower and Sunflower are anymore! All I want is to know who The Clown is!"

Famous lyricist and composer Wang Zhuishu, who had a list of names in front of him, said, "For those on the B-list and above, ruling out all the female celebrities and those who cannot sing, there are only a few dozen possibilities left. I don't believe that I can't find out who he is. Even if he continues to hide or change the tone of his voice, there has to be a limit to how much he can do it. He can't possibly change it too much." But unbeknownst to him, he had already excluded that man right from the start.

Yao Jiancai interjected, "What if he's actually a woman?"

Amy burst out laughing, "Crossdressing?"

The Clown walked onstage.

Instantly, the sound of applause flooded the entire studio!

"It's starting, it's starting!"

"It's The Clown!"

"Hurry up and sing! I've been waiting for him!"

"Me too. Ever since his match with Petal Shower in the first round, I haven't had any interest in anything that happened afterward. Sunflower didn't manage to perform up to his potential either!"

"The key is that we know he's at least a B-list celebrity now, so that's really intriguing!"

"Right, who could it be!"

"Let's just listen to him sing first. He's recovered from his cold, and his voice seems to be back too. We couldn't hear him properly earlier because he sang in falsetto, but once he starts singing in his real voice, we'll definitely get a hint of who he is."

"Yeah, let's listen first."

"We have find out who he is, or else I won't be able to sleep!"

"That first song called 'Opera' was wonderful!"

"Rather than wonderful, it was spectacularly scary, OK?!"

"Yeah, even the godly Petal Shower was crushed by him!"

The contestants backstage were thinking the same.

Petal Shower was waiting with her eyes closed.

Sunflower in the Starlight was staring at the TV.

Sunset Glow did not blink as the names of a number of male celebrities popped into her mind, but all were shot down by her one by one.

Center stage.

Zhang Ye gripped the microphone as he glanced over to the judging panel and the audience. From the unbridled stares of the crowd, he could read many things. Everyone was waiting for him to start singing to find out who he was. A smirk emerged from the corner of his mouth beneath the mask. Do you guys really think that you'll be able to identify me? Do you really think you can hear my voice and guess who I am?

The spotlights sparkled.

Everyone was focusing on him.

Zhang Ye could already feel himself falling in love with this stage.

Here, no one recognized him.

Here, no one knew who he was.

He had come alone and would leave alone. This was a really great feeling!

The music played!

First, the notes of a dizi gently floated in.

Next, a guzheng melody harmonized with it.

They were obviously folk music instruments, but the tune that played was clearly rock, its rhythm standing out!

Just this intro alone was enough to give the audience a high!

Startled, Chen Guang said, "This is rock?"

Amy was stunned. "Surely not? Folk music paired with rock?"

"It's definitely rock!" Chen Guang himself was a rock singer and he'd definitely know it if he heard it. He was absolutely sure that this was a rock song, which was the reason why he was startled. He had never heard of someone using a rock rhythm in folk music, and there wasn't even a drummer or guitarist playing? Weren't the folk musical instruments just for supporting accompaniment? They were used for the main melody instead?

Could it even be played this way?

Could rock actually be done in such a way?

Deng deng deng.

Deng deng deng.

Deng deng deng, deng di, deng deng.

Under the gaze of over a thousand sets of eyes, The Clown tightened his grip on the microphone and placed it close to his mouth.

His voice instantly resonated through the studio!

"I wanna walk from south to north.

"I wanna walk from day til night.

"I want people to look at me,

"But not know who I am."

It was really rock!

He was really singing a rock song!

You want everyone to look at you, but not know who you are?

The audience was stunned!

"If you see me a li'l tired,

"Please pour me a bowl of water.

"If you've fallen in love with me,

"Then please plant a kiss on my mouth."

The title of the song was displayed on the screen overhead the stage.

" Fake Monk 1 ."

What song was this?

It was another song that no one had heard before?!

What the fuck! From where did you get so many originals?

The judges were all going a bit crazy!

Especially Wang Zhuishu, who was a famous lyricist and composer in the industry. He knew a lot of people and as long as it was a slightly more well-known lyricist or composer in the scene, he knew them. Just from the beginning of this song, he knew that it was absolutely not a simple piece and definitely not a song that could be written by a newcomer. So what was going on? Just what on earth was going on with these songs that would give anyone who heard them the goosebumps!?

"I have this pair of feet and legs. I have this far and wide journey.

"I want the all of everything, but not hate or regret.

"If you wanna love me, don't fear regret!

"Cuz one day I'll be going far away!

"I don't wanna stay in one place,

"Nor want others to follow me."

Chen Guang was about to erupt. "Just who the hell is this!"

This song was so good!

The lyrics were so good!

The Clown had already performed three songs on this stage, but the one that Chen Guang liked best was the one he was currently listening to. Although it was his first time listening to it, Chen Guang could already feel the rock 'n' roll blood in him surging with excitement!

Wang Zhuishu quickly scanned through the list of names. "Which guy is it? Which celebrity could it be?"

Amy asked anxiously, "Have you found out yet?"

Yao Jiancai said, "Is there anyone that matches his profile?"

Chen Yidong was also checking who could sing from the list of celebrities on the B-list and above. "Li Yu? No, it's definitely not him. Old Huo? It's not his voice either! Old Li? But he's currently on tour in Hong Kong! Who! Who is he!"

Wang Zhuishu said in exasperation, "Why don't any of these names match!"

The Clown used his explosive and impactful voice to continue singing.

"I wanna walk from south to north.

"I wanna walk from day til night.

"I want people to look at me,

"But not know who I am."

The audience was infected by the music!

This song was exceptionally fit for the stage!

Everyone could see him but did not know who he was!

With "Fake Monk," he had once again shocked the audience!

A lot of those in the audience no longer knew how to describe their current feelings!

The Clown was still singing. In fact, his voice was getting even higher. His real voice was different from that of his falsetto. It was not as clear, but when used in this song, it was the perfect combination!

"I just wanna see how pretty you are,

"But not know you are suffering!

"I wanna obtain Heavens' rains, but with none of your tears.

"I don't wanna believe there are really demons, or fight anybody."

The Clown walked forward a few steps and pointed upward.

"Don't try to figure out just who I am,

"And don't try to see through this lie of mine."

Every word in The Clown's lyrics seemed to be sung to them, but also felt like they were sung for himself!

In the waiting room, Petal Shower exclaimed, "He's singing great!"

Sunset Glow said in astonishment, "He can even sing rock?"

The already eliminated God of War who had came through from a talent show was also convinced now. Losing to someone like that was nothing to be ashamed about. Suddenly, he felt a little lucky that he had faced a slightly less capable Sunflower today. If he had been matched against The Clown in the first round, he might even have lost 500 to 0 during the voting! That would truly have been embarrassing and he might not have had the courage to take off his mask if that had happened!

Freaks!

These were truly a bunch of freaks in the music industry!

Especially The Clown, who was the freakiest of the freaks!

Amy was already standing up, slapping the table in front of her and shouting, "Aiyo! Just which senior came to this stage to tease us?"

The Clown sang with a smile.

"La la la la la la la la.

"I want people to look at me,

"I want people to look at me,"

The music came to a stop.

It was silent onstage.

With a pause, The Clown closed his eyes and used his slightly magnetic voice to sing in a cappella:

"I want people to look at me,

"But not know…who…I…am."

He sustained the last few notes before breaking off!

The song ended!

The Clown straightened and smiled, slightly bowing.

A burst of cheers erupted!

"Ahhh!"

"Bravo!"

"I love him to death!"

"Me too!"

"Isn't this song just fascinating?"

"How does he sing so well!"

"Who the hell is The Clown! Why can't I figure out who he is even after listening to his real voice!"

"I want to know so badly that I'm gonna go crazy!"

"His falsetto is unmatched, and his real voice is this amazing too?"

"The main thing is that his song is good too! It's really good!"

"The Clown! I dare you to take off your mask! Do you dare!"

"Aiyo, damn! I really want to know who the fuck he is!"

Backstage.

Petal Shower was nodding in approval and clapping!

God of War, who had already taken off his mask, was also clapping. He clapped so hard his palms turned red. "Bravo! This song is so perfect!" Then he looked at the camera and said to himself, "I'll definitely come back in the revival round! It would be such an honor to share a stage with this godly senior!"

Han Qi was shouting excitedly inside the studio, "The Clown! The Clown!"

The audience was screaming.

"The Clown!"

"The Clown!"

"The Clown!"

The Clown had left the stage.

Dong Shanshan retook the stage. "Thank you for performing, The Clown."

She had wanted to calm the audience down before inviting the second contestant to come out onstage. The next contestant was Sunflower in the Starlight, who was already waiting in the wins.

However, the audience's emotions could not be calmed at all.

"The Clown!"

"The Clown!"

"The Clown!"

A lot of people were still screaming!

Dong Shanshan had no choice but to keep quiet and wait for the audience to calm themselves down.

Sunset Glow, who was third in line to take the stage to battle for Masked King, smiled wryly when she saw this. The Clown was much too popular. How could they possibly compete against him?

A song without lyrics!

And a rock song!

At least for today, the stage belonged to The Clown. With those two songs, there was basically no question about who would be crowned as the Masked King today!

Among the present audience members, at least half of them had already become fans of The Clown!

The skills required to sing the song with no lyrics?

The spirit and idea behind "Fake Monk"?

Even if Zhang Yuanqi had worn a mask and come onstage, she might not necessarily have been able to beat him today!
