Cai Wanhai really sang quite well.
Although Cai Wanhai and Yue Li were previously judged by Lu Yao’s think tank to be the weakest of the weak links.
But sheer talent is still undeniable.
In good form, with a strong performance, the live scene can be explosive.
Take the song "Illusion Sea" that he sang, for example.
The song itself is already quite explosive, and after he rearranged it, emphasizing the parts that show off his singing skills, it looked even more explosive.
However, Wu Mu still had the same thing to say, "In the bag!"
The barrage was frantically scrolling with comments.
"Alright, alright, Wu the mad dog!"
"Waiting for you to beat down the Koreans!"
"If you don’t win, I’ll roast you!"
Not only were they scrolling in Wu Mu’s own live broadcast room, but many also went elsewhere to fan the flames.
Running to other contestants’ live streaming rooms, they scrolled, "Wu doesn’t take them seriously, already booked the championship."
As for these comments, which were even translated into Korean specifically for him, Yi Junxi naturally didn’t take them to heart.
They could also see the interview footage from Wu Mu’s live broadcast room that had just switched over.
This Hua Country star called Wu Mu was, in his heart, almost becoming akin to a performing clown.
Clearly not that strong in ability, but his boasts were bigger than anyone else’s.
Was this a persona he had deliberately crafted for himself?
Tsukishima Chizuru read the barrage in her native Japanese and felt a bit awkward.
Wu Mu-san seems a bit overconfident... Not to mention others, but based on Wu Mu-san’s prior performance, she felt certain she could win.
But as she was thinking this, she saw her music partner, with a serious look on his face.
"Wu Mu is so confident, there might be some kind of ace up his sleeve, Tsukishima-sensei, be very careful with him during the performance."
Be careful of Wu Mu-san?
Tsukishima Chizuru initially thought her music partner was unaware of Wu Mu’s mundane rehearsal performance and started explaining, "Wu Mu-san’s rehearsal performance didn’t seem very good." Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel★fire.net
But who could have expected, as soon as she spoke, she felt her music partner looking at her with a strange expression.
Tsukishima Chizuru’s face showed confusion; she didn’t quite understand her music partner’s look.
Obviously, it meant he was looking at you like you’re a fool.
Do you believe Wu’s rehearsal performance? Then you’re really falling into a trap.
Everyone who pays attention in the industry knows Wu’s rehearsal and the actual competition are two different things.
The music partner muttered to himself.
Glancing left and right, he took the hand mic away and leaned close to Tsukishima Chizuru, whispering, "Tsukishima-sensei, don’t trust Wu, he’s very crafty, his rehearsals are just his way of lulling people."
Tsukishima Chizuru was stunned for a moment.
Cai Wanhai was also feeling a headache.
Despite being quite satisfied with his performance after stepping off the stage, he felt that even against He Jie, there wouldn’t be much difference.
But after returning to the green room and seeing everyone fanning the flames in the barrage, his confidence vanished all at once.
"Wu is so confident, I wonder if it’s intentional or for real."
With his gut feeling, the latter seemed more likely.
And given that his new album had just lost out to someone who didn’t even promote their work, he really found it hard to stay confident.
Those who heard more news about Wu, even if they heard a little about Wu’s rehearsal, wouldn’t dare underestimate him.
"I heard that Wu suddenly changed songs a few days ago, I wonder what new song he switched to, we better not be suppressed by him again," He Jie jokingly said to the camera.
In previous singer-songwriter competitions, he had experienced being ranked after Wu, and then the song he sang was completely overshadowed.
However, he wasn’t positioned next to Wu this time.
Legendary Voice was different from the singer-songwriter contest, because since it was a live broadcast, they couldn’t immediately score after each performance, as that would take too much time.
They waited for all the contestants to finish singing and then collectively voted and ranked them.
So, after Cai Wanhai stepped off stage, the crew tidied up for a bit, the host made small talk in between, and a few interview clips from the contestants’ green rooms were switched in.
Then the second contestant went straight on stage.
The second contestant was Wu Mu!
Seeing the director cue him with the teleprompter to get ready, Wu Mu stood up and straightened himself out.
Lu Yao pumped her fist with effort, "Xiao Wu, go for it!"
Wu Mu waved his hand with a smile.
Once he left the green room and entered the corridor, he could already hear the front stage hosts introducing his myriad of titles and accomplishments.
"Next, let’s introduce a singer that everyone is definitely familiar with."
"Yes, viewers who pay attention to singer information this year will find it hard not to know him."
"His many singles have been at the top of various music platforms’ hit lists all year round, his albums rank at the top of album sales charts, and he’s also a hot star on all major platforms, with a platform statistic showing that he’s made it onto hot searches up to 132 times in half a year."
"That’s right, and let’s not forget the short video views, which also broke records in the last six months."
"As we say this, I guess many friends have already guessed his name."
Of course, they guessed!
The judges in the audience had been waiting and were whispering, "Wu’s entry time is quite early this time; I thought the program group was going to place him at the very end?"
"It’s probably because it’s a new show, and the program group wasn’t sure how many people would watch before the broadcast, so they put Wu at the front to draw attention."
Everyone whispered among themselves.
The two hosts on stage finally revealed the answer.
"That’s right, he is Wu Mu!"
Wu Mu slowly walked out of the contestant’s corridor amid the host’s welcome.
The venue used for Legendary Voice was the same one used for the singer-songwriter competition before, just redecorated a bit.
