Chapter 339: I Am a Singer Stage Nine, Officially Begins!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Star Plan” and “Big Stars of the Nation” by Wu Chi, Fei Yao, and Xia Luori soared at rocket speed. They shot from tenth place to third place in just a little more than an hour. The position of several heavyweight titles such as Hong Dali and Li Nianwei’s “I Am a Singer” was in jeopardy. At that moment, Xia Luori released a second Weibo post: “‘Big Stars of the Nation’ will be selecting the most outstanding talents from the mass to repackage and promote. The newcomers who have potential in becoming celebrities and are ranked among the top will be brought to bigger stages. We hope everyone will like it.”

Once this post was published, the entire Weibo went crazy!

Viewer One: “What the heck! Director Xia, are you serious? Selection from the public?! From all over the country?!”

Viewer Two: “Oh my god, so cool?! I’m good at singing! Where will the selection process be held? I have to be there!”

Viewer Three: “The previous talent shows were quite boring. But it seems Director Xia has decided to do something big this time. I will be there to support!”

At the same time, Min Feiyou also posted a Weibo: “‘Big Stars of the Nation’ is too powerful. I feel threatened by what Director Xia said. I have to take a look. If a talented newcomer is found, I will have to maintain a good relationship with them. Hehe. I hope that everyone who likes me will support Director Xia too!”

Within two hours, this post soared to the top of Weibo’s hottest ranking at rocket speed. Countless people forwarded comments. From the initial seven or eight thousand people discussing, to tens of thousands discussing.

At that moment, Wu Chi and Xia Luori were comfortably sitting on a recliner, munching on melon seeds and drinking. He smiled and said, “The power of the Young Master is really invincible! I have never thought of going against Hong Dali like this.” The Young Master he mentioned was Toyoda Conglomerate’s Young Master, Ko Gohon.

“Come to think of it, if it was not for him, it would not be easy for both our families to go against Hong Dali.” Xia Luori was smoking. “The prodigal son Hong Dali. Everything he dabbles in becomes popular. If we allow him to continue like this, heaven knows what will happen. Will there still be anything left for us to eat?”

“That’s right. The Holy Warriors of the Goddess that recently started productions, I heard their budget is fifty million. Just the budget alone will ensure the success of the show. Not to mention that Hong Dali has so many bright ideas.” Wu Chi sighed and slowly said, “Damn him. Don’t blame us for being ruthless when he’s doing this to us. We have to defeat him no matter what. Otherwise, it would be tough for us to survive!”

...

Min Feiyao’s concert was popular. The publicity articles on ‘Star Plan’ and ‘Big Stars of the Nation’ were all fired up as well. On the other hand, Hong Dali’s supporters were gloomy. Sheng Wenshi and Ding Chengzhi had seen Wen Feiyao’s concert and fully understood its power.

Presently, Min Feiyao’s ‘Star Plan’ and ‘Big Stars of the Nation’ were clearly up against Hong Dali. It was not easy for Hong Dali to go against the competition.

Sheng Wenshi frowned as he smoked. “Old Ding, do you think Young Master is able to turn the tables around this time? Min Feiyao’s popularity is not a joking matter. It’s almost exceeding Li Nianwei’s. The two shows, ‘Star Plan’ and ‘Big Stars of the Nation,’ are popular too. When the viewership ratings come out, they will be hard to handle.”

Ding Chengzhi rubbed his temples. “Yes, I think so too. The problem is, there is no news of what Young Master is up to. I heard they mentioned a Hatsune Tianyi...”

Sheng Wenshi mumbled, “Yes, let me call to find out more. This piece of news is suspicious. There is no news about it at all. Stage nine of ‘I Am a Singer’ begins tomorrow night. Till now, nobody knows who the newcomer is. The key thing is, I have never heard of the name ‘Hatsune Tianyi.’”

In actual fact, in the previous stages of I Am a Singer, the audience also only found out who the newcomer was on the day of the performance.

But that was for the audience. To the insiders like Sheng Wenshi and Ding Chengzhi, the identity of the newcomer was usually not kept a secret.

It was completely different this time around. They had not heard any news at all. The only thing they knew was the person’s name, Hatsune Tianyi. But this name had never appeared within the entertainment circle. In other words, this person must be from outside.

Ding Chengzhi helplessly said, “Forget it, no point asking. Young Master always creates miracles. One day won’t make any difference. We’ll just wait...”

“Alright, I suppose so...”

...

Soon came July 12, the start of Stage nine of I Am a Singer!

If the previous stages of I Am a Singer were popular, this stage’s popularity was much higher, and more powerful compared to the past eight stages!

It was because of Min Feiyao’s concert that just happened.

The major entertainment companies represented by Min Feiyao encompassed all the programs in the entertainment industry that were going against Hong Dali. All Hong Dali’s and Li Nianwei’s fans were holding their breath, just waiting for the final battle to begin.

6:00 PM in the evening.

All the streets surrounding West Fourth Loop were blocked by the audience who came to watch the battle. Not just the cars, it was even difficult for a person to enter the West Fourth Loop Stadium.

There were 20 helicopters in the sky transporting the audience non-stop. Despite that, it was still extremely tough. The stadium, including the aisles and football field, were all filled with an enthusiastic audience.

People were all waiting, waiting for the new stage of I Am a Singer. Waiting to see how the show would counterattack Min Feiyao’s exaggerated momentum.

If this stage could not turn the tables around, then there was nothing worth watching. Young Master Hong Dali’s reputation would drop. Even the top female singer Li Nianwei would soon disappear from the audience’s eyes.

It sounded impossible. But that was how it would be.

A goddess in the entertainment circle, if there was no exposure for a few months, one could easily be forgotten.

...

8:00 PM in the evening, I Am a Singer Stage Nine, Officially Begins!

“Old Ding, it seems there’s nothing special in this stage.” Sheng Wenshi looked at the singer appearance list. “Just like this, will it work? Hatsune Tianyi is appearing last?”

Ding Chengzhi reluctantly said, “Aye, I don’t know what Young Master is thinking. A newcomer who is not popular at all. To let her appear last, will it work? It’d be better to ask Chu Zhongqin to appear. At least he is popular. He even experienced those few stages. It seems right to ask him to participate. To let this Hatsune Tianyi participate...”

“Forget it. We will never understand Young Master’s wisdom.” Sheng Wenshi shook his head. “We’ll just wait and see, sigh.”

At this time, a senior music critic nearby nodded and said, “It’s not easy. Even if today’s singers do their best, there is no highlight in today’s show. If Hatsune Tianyi is not able to please the audience when she appears, Young Master’s popularity will fade a lot. This is serious. After all, Min Feiyao is more popular now.”

“That’s right.” Ding Chenzhi nodded in agreement. “It all depends on the last person. Sigh! I really don’t agree with such a risky move.”

...

I Am a Singer’s official Tieba forum.

Everyone was quietly watching the live telecast. A Tieba forum with millions of people, but hardly anyone was posting anything. It was clear how this battle affected the audience. Even Min Feiyao and his Internet Water Army were lying low.

Everyone was waiting. Waiting for the Hatsune Tianyi which no one had heard of before. Would they be able to shock the audience or let them down completely?

If they performed slightly below standard, then I Am a Singer would have completely lost this battle!

...

Li Nianwei’s official Tieba forum.

There were about five million people quietly waiting. They were also waiting to see how Hong Dali would turn the tables around. In their mind, Li Nianwei was their goddess. From the moment she debuted, she was the absolute goddess. Now, and forever. Everyone wished for their goddess to be the best. Even Hong Dali who had brought their goddess to fame was not allowed to lose!

“May the heavens bless Young Master, for him to turn the tables. Take my ten years of integrity, for my Goddess to win!”

This was posted on Tieba forum by a user when the sixth singer’s performance ended.

...

The sixth singer finished singing. The audience gave their applause, and it quickly quietened.

Everyone was waiting, waiting to see who the super mysterious Hatsune Tianyi was.

Soon, Zhang Cai went up to the stage. She held onto the mic and bowed to the audience. Then, she smiled and said, “Hello, everyone. I’m the host, Zhang Cai. The seventh performance of the fifth round will soon begin.”

The audience got nervous hearing Zhang Cai say that.

This was not just the last performance. It was also a battle between Li Nianwei and her biggest enemy, Min Feiyao. The results of this battle were significant. It was the biggest battle since the debut of I Am a Singer!

“After four rounds of tough battles, those remaining on the stage have fought hard. They have given us their most beautiful songs. The last singer to perform, they are a new duo. And their names are Hatsune Tianyi!”
