Chapter 201 "Singer 2022" Episode , Xi Xiang

September 9th, China.

Cheng Cheng is a scourge to the Peninsula. He not only overshadows the Peninsula's 2.5 million active artists, but also makes domestic stars feel suffocated.

On Weibo, netizens went crazy discussing this:

"The popularity is getting higher and higher every day, and it's getting more and more exciting!"

"Ms. Han is really stupid. It was stupid to ask Cheng Cheng 'how to respect women' before. Now she asked Xiao Gou'er 'what do you think of what Brother Wa said'. Before asking, didn't they investigate the relationship between Xiao Gou'er and Brother Wa? They have been through thick and thin together since their humble days. Xiao Gou'er is Brother Wa's muse, and Brother Wa is Xiao Gou'er's support. How dare they ask such a question?! Don't be so funny!"

"Looking at Xiao Gou'er's expression, she must have been cursing 'idiot' in her heart."

"Xiao Gou'er: I want to say something dirty."

"After Brother Frog beat up the neodymium circle, Xiao Gouer came and beat up the neodymium circle again."

“Frog and Dog Combo, go go go!!!

"

"Stupid netizens can find all kinds of pornographic pictures, but they just can't find a girlfriend."

"Han Nu: You are such a dog frog!"

"Now Han has really become a clown!"

"My wife said it so well, I'm totally in love with it!"

"Xiao Gou'er is right. Brother Frog is definitely the one who respects women the most because he will kill everyone equally."

“Isn’t this a way to win glory for the country?”

"Brother Frog really doesn't pamper them. Let's fight them head-on. Whoever loses will die."

"Protect our output!"

"You don't know how much fun it is to surf the Internet, ha ha ha ha!!! Korean men are almost in love with Frog and Little Gou'er now. They say that Frog and Little Gou'er are a hundred times or a thousand times better than Korean stars, and that Korean stars are all blood-sucking and despicable insects. Anyway, no matter which side wins, it's the Korean stars who get scolded."

"Korean stars are so miserable, hahaha!"

"Han Xing: Who did I offend?"

"233333, why do people in the Peninsula use such immature curse words? Blood-sucking and despicable insects, hahahaha, someone come save my shitty sense of humor."

"The most supportive episode of Smita!"

"Probe again and report again!"

“Cheng Cheng: Alas, the discussion of Those Years abroad is still limited. It seems that my influence abroad is still too low.

Korean girl: Hey, I have a plan!

"The Koreans' dynamism has already developed into a shoe religion. If we don't fight back, there will be problems!"

"Brother Frog is invincible in Asia!"

"That's great. Finally, we can guide public opinion! If any country has a grudge against us in the future, we will send Frog Brother to plunge them into civil war!"

"What a vicious plan!!!"

"As expected of Frog Brother, the Korean girl provoked Frog Brother and was almost killed by a set of anti-armor. Anyway, Korean girls are almost becoming a joke in the three East Asian countries. Not only are we laughing at them, but Japanese netizens are also laughing at them. This is the most united East Asian men have ever been."

"The culprit of all this: Can you give a suggestion to men in the Peninsula? Tell them what it means to truly respect women?"

"Hahahaha, that's a good question. Don't ask it again in your next life."

"

Korean women are at their wits’ end now. They can’t scold Frog Brother any more than he can. I wonder how they will react if Those Years sells well on Peninsula after it’s released. I’m really looking forward to it.”

“Now I have to support the movie tickets!”

“Frog’s movies are a must-see!”

As the discussion progressed, netizens suddenly remembered:

"Oh, by the way, tonight is the sixth episode of "The Singer", right? Xi Xiang is going to try to get on the list, but I don't know if he can succeed."

"They're making trouble for foreigners!!! The Peninsula is making trouble for foreigners, and we're also making trouble for foreigners. The Singer is so pitiful that only Xu Lin is left."

"When you said there were foreigners harassing the peninsula, you weren't referring to Brother Frog and my Gou Gou, were you?"

"Hahahaha, to the people of the Peninsula, how can they not be considered foreigners?"

"'Singer 2022' should now be called 'Singer Foreign Edition'."

"Xiangjiang TV is simply disgusting. In order to prevent Xu Lin from winning, they only invited Grammy-level singers. They found a bunch of garbage, old and weak soldiers from China, and didn't find the national team. Then they said that Tianxia had no one left. It's really disgusting."

"It's really disgusting. Of course we know how good European and American singers are, but do I need you to tell me how good they are? It would have been fine if we had invited three or four, but now there are six foreigners. It's outrageous. Aren't they afraid of bringing shame to Europe and America? Is this still a Tianxia variety show?"

"I really hate Xiangjiang TV for using ethnic sentiment to hype things up."

“As for Xiangjiang TV’s actions, I have only one word to say: Absolute!

I'm also going to play the 'big chess conspiracy theory'.

The show "The Singer" faced considerable challenges when it first aired, especially since it came right after the final live broadcast night of "The Masked Singer," so its novelty and expectations were naturally affected.

Moreover, whether in terms of the singers' status, singing ability, or live performance, "The Singer" is slightly inferior to "Masked".

In addition, after Cheng Cheng unveiled his true identity, he has essentially become the most powerful singer in the country.

The Singer uses national sentiment to hype up public opinion about the confrontation between China and the West, but it cannot avoid the question of why it did not invite Cheng Cheng, and whether it would solve all the problems if it invited Cheng Cheng. Therefore, if the Singer wants to seek a breakthrough, occupy the righteousness, consolidate its position, and rationalize its logic, it must and can only drag down the masked man and Cheng Cheng.

But they didn't expect that Cheng Cheng just sent Xu Lin and easily won the first place. All the traffic immediately went to Cheng Cheng and Xu Lin. The conspiracy of "The Singer" to step on "Masked" to get to the top was bankrupt, and the value of "Masked" was confirmed instead.

Having failed to gain anything, Xiangjiang TV now has only two choices. One is to watch the combination of Cheng Cheng and Xu Lin continue to dominate the show "The Singer".

One is to invite more foreign singers to suppress Xu Lin.

Obviously, Xiangjiang TV chose the latter because it is ambitious and would never be willing to be a wedding dress for "Masked".

The popularity of a variety show depends on its topicality, the topicality depends on its storytelling, and the storytelling depends on its dramatic conflict.

Inviting more foreign singers is the simplest and most effective way to create dramatic conflicts. As for the effect, looking at the hot searches in recent days, we can only say that Xiangjiang TV has won again.

In this way, "The Singer" has completely gotten rid of the shadow cast by "Masked". Xu Lin is now struggling to hold on and has been defeated; secondly, "The Singer" has once again put the blame on Cheng Cheng, and now the voices on the Internet calling for Cheng Cheng to avoid the battle are once again rampant.

So you can tell me whether the calculations of Xiangjiang TV are brilliant or not. The drama outside the variety show is more interesting than the stage inside the variety show. "

"I have to admire Xiangjiang TV's marketing, it's so awesome, it's a textbook operation."

"When two masters fight, every move is fatal!"

"The risk of backlash is also very high, because it cannot stop domestic singers from signing up. If domestic singers sign up, especially those with strong public support, it has to accept them. If it doesn't, it will lose its fairness. But if it accepts them, problems will easily arise. Xi Xiang is a masked singer. If he succeeds in topping the charts tonight, all the efforts Xiangjiang TV has made before will be in vain."

"Xiangjiang TV will not let him succeed in his bid for the top spot. They will definitely send their strongest men to fight him."

"I feel so too."

Five p.m.

At the recording site of "Singer 2022", in the rehearsal room, Xi Xiang met Xu Lin whom he had not seen for a long time.

This was the first time Xi Xiang and Xu Lin met after the finale of "King of Masked Singer".

Xi Xiang was very enthusiastic and greeted Xu Lin: "Xiao Xu, how are you? I watch every episode of Singer, and your performance is really great."

In the show "King of Masked Singer", Cheng Cheng is the only T0-level character. Below T0, Xi Xiang and Xu Lin are the real rivals. Therefore, the two of them have some sympathy for each other, and heroes appreciate heroes.

Xu Lin had just finished rehearsing and said:

"Brother Xi, long time no see. I didn't expect you to come and participate."

Xi Xiang asked, "Is the song you just rehearsed the one Director Cheng wrote for you?"

Xu Lin nodded and said, "Yes, the song is called "Angel in the Devil"."

Xi Xiang gave a thumbs up: "The quality is very high."

Xu Lin said: "I am very grateful to him."

At present, including this song in the sixth episode, Cheng Cheng has written five songs for her, namely "A Diao", "Against the Light", "Period", "Invisible Wings" and "Angel in the Devil".

Every song of hers is a hit, and her status is rising rapidly.

Today, she has become the number one female singer in China, and her fame and status are even more popular than at her peak.

But Xu Lin felt that she was a little sorry for Cheng Cheng, because except for the second and third periods when she won the first place, she did not win the first place in the fourth and fifth periods, which made her feel that she owed Cheng Cheng a lot.

However, Cheng Cheng never criticized her once, and provided her with new songs on time every episode.

She no longer knew how she could repay Cheng Cheng, and just kept it all in her heart.

Xu Lin asked, "Brother Xi, are you here this time also because of Director Cheng?"

"You guessed it?" Xi Xiang couldn't hide his smile and chuckled, "That's right, but he didn't find me. I took the initiative to find him. He just happened to have a song that suits me."

It turns out that Director Cheng was the one who took the initiative to find Brother Xi.
Xu Lin: "Brother Xi, it looks like we're going to compete on the same stage again."

She will not admit defeat, and her goal this time is still to be the first place.

Xi Xiang smiled and said, "Of course, I still miss the time when we were masked. I have rarely had such exciting and pure moments of enjoying competition in my life. So, do your best. On this stage, we not only have to compete with foreigners, but also with each other. I will not give in to you."

Xu Lin: “That’s exactly what I wanted to say.”

As they were talking, another six foreign singers arrived one after another.

They all greeted Xu Lin and Xi Xiang. There was no pretentious or looked down upon plot. Tianxia had become the world's second largest economy, and domestic entertainment was profitable. There were no foreign stars who had nothing better to do than discriminate against Tianxia people, especially on Tianxia soil.

Of course, it’s hard to say outside of Tianxia.

Time quickly came to eight o'clock in the evening, and "Singer 2022" began live broadcast.

According to the order of the draw, the seven online singers appeared on stage one by one.

After all the online singers finished competing, the rankings were born:
First, Goodmans

Second, Xu Lin

Third, Kacha

4. Florin Moulin
Fifth, Bettina
6. Lorena Denton
7. Drew Willie

Xu Lin only got second place again.

And then, the singer who solved the problem was born, and Xi Xiang’s opponent was Goodmans.

"Okay, the official competition tonight has ended. I declare that the battle to defend the list has officially begun! Welcome our singer who will take the crown! The King of Songs of Yingdao - Xi Xiang!!! King Xi!"

The host's voice mixed with the audience's screams made a buzzing, distorted sound as it traveled into the corridor.

Xi Xiang checked the in-ear monitor and confirmed that it was correct before walking onto the stage.
