Chapter 471: Chapter 449 How Can One Distinguish My Gender_1

“Cut, cut!”

Tongtong was on the verge of a breakdown—

She suddenly yearned for the time when the Prince of Lanling was all about economizing words and keeping quiet!

Once he started talking, it was nothing less than horror!

The production team was still shooting, if this segment were to be aired, Yuan Xi’s fans would most likely chew out the Prince of Lanling!

But that’s not all.

Once the Swan reveals herself, her fans would directly lash out at the Prince of Lanling:

Dare to say that our diva sings almost as good as a first-line singer?

Wake up!

Do you think you are in an anonymous discussion group?

In the Masked Singer show, even if you have a mask on, it’s not going to help you!

It’s not like you can keep your face hidden forever!

If your words were to be aired, once you reveal yourself, won’t the fans of both divas drown you with their saliva?

“What’s wrong?”

Lin Yuan felt that Tongtong was overreacting.

He had simply commented on two singers, sharing a similar view as Teacher Yang Zhongming.

Was such a reaction really necessary?

“…..”

Are you really asking what’s wrong?

Tongtong had a headache, it seemed like Prince Lanling had a really low EQ.

He hadn’t realized the problem yet.

What kind of position does Yang Zhongming hold?

What are the four judges’ statuses?

They of course can say offensive things on the show, especially Yang Zhongming!

He’s Maestro!

If Maestro says that a diva’s talent is mediocre, so what?

No need to think about it.

Even if the show airs and Yuan Xi finds out that Teacher Yang Zhongming belittled her, she can only earnestly say “Thank you for Teacher Yang Zhongming’s instruction”, even her fans wouldn’t dare to talk too much.

Yes.

In Blue Star’s music circle, Maestro is indeed incredible, Maestro can do as he wishes.

But what about you, Prince of Lanling?

Can you also be the Maestro?

That’s impossible, at most you’re the King of Singing.

But even if the face behind your mask is that of the King of Singing, it’s useless!

The fans of the two divas, are they afraid of a King of Singing?

And moreover, you speak so offensively, everyone in the music circle will see each other from time to time, who would still dare to play with you in the circle in the future?

“Listen to me,”

Tongtong mourned and whispered to Lin Yuan:

“Although what you’ve said is the truth… ah damn, you’re leading me astray … although you, as a singer, have the right to speak freely, these kinds of words offend people and would be detrimental to your future development in the music industry…”

“It’s okay.”

Lin Yuan spoke seriously.

He did have some EQ and knew that some words might upset people when they were heard.

But Lin Yuan believed a good singer should accept outside criticism.

Though Yuan Xi’s voice may be thin, there is room for improvement, it seems like this diva doesn’t have the courage to challenge herself.

Of course.

Lin Yuan also appreciated Tongtong’s well-intentioned advice and didn’t blame her for being overly sensitive, but he would not deliberately withhold what needs to be said.

It’s not like he’s never been scolded before.

He’s been called Xianyu the old thief, and Chu Kuang the old thief. The phrase “old thief” sounds so annoying, doesn’t it?

“Prince of Lanling, get ready.”

At that moment, an announcement was made over the loudspeaker.

Tongtong no longer worried about what Prince Lanling had just said and quickly got up saying:

“It’s our turn to perform soon, Prince of Lanling, adjust your state, I’ll have someone cut the part we just shot.”

“…..”

Lin Yuan rose in silence.

The two of them moved to the exit area to wait.

On stage.

The host, Anhong, laughed, “After experiencing the humor of the Robot teacher and the Swan teacher’s true colours, like everyone else, I’m curious about what kind of surprise the next singer will surprise us with, let’s have a round of applause for today’s third singer, Prince of Lanling!”

The audience clappedl!

Lin Yuan, microphone in hand, stepped onto the stage.

Suddenly countless lights shone on him.

His cloak floated freely with his movements; his magnificent robe gently swayed, his demon mask carried an intense, yet beautiful, sensation!

All viewers couldn’t help but shift their attention!

“Who is this?”

“Looks so dashing!”

“Body shape is also fantastic!”

“Based on my study of psychology, the face under this mask must be mediocre, often the more flamboyant the appearance, the more ordinary the real person. On the contrary, those singers who deliberately make themselves look ugly might actually be handsome. But this clothing is really cool, the mask is even more amazing, I’m going to see if this kind of mask is available online.”

“It looks like it’s a male singer.”

“Of course it’s a male, when have you ever seen a female singer this flat?”

“I just don’t know what the meaning of Prince Lanling is, does it have any figurative meaning that I don’t understand?”

“…..”

The audience was discussing.

No matter how diverse the discussions were, as Prince Lanling had just arrived, at the very least, the new singer’s costume design was universally accepted.

Even the demon mask carried a form of unique beauty.

Just not sure about his performing skills?

The audience was somewhat looking forward to it.

This was an expectation aroused by the Robot and the Swan.

The two previous contestants were each better than the last, and the stage was already heating up.

Backstage.

Tongtong looked at the Prince of Lanling: “Are you the King of Singing?”

She seemed to think of something.

Suddenly, Tongtong’s face changed, turning pale!

The Prince of Lanling couldn’t be the King of Singing, or else he wouldn’t have guessed that the robot was the King of Singing!

During the show’s promotion, it was mentioned that the first episode would feature both a King and Queen of Singing!

The Queen of Singing must be the white swan who just performed.

But the King of Singing…

Could very well be the robot!

Because that was Teacher Yang Zhongming’s judgment!

Many people, including Tongtong after some thought, trusted Teacher Yang Zhongming’s judgment. He was the most respected judge, and his insights were undoubtedly the most incisive!

However, this also indirectly suggested that the Prince of Lanling might only be a first or even second-tier singer!

“I really do have terrible luck.”

Realizing this, Tongtong bit her lip.

Being the third to perform wasn’t necessarily the best slot, and might even be the worst today —

Could the Prince of Lanling keep up the momentum?

This is bad.

How could they follow up the performances of the King and Queen of Singing?

In the judge’s zone

“Is the robot really the King of Singing?” Wu Long asked Yang Zhongming.

Yang Zhongming confidently smiled, his meaning clear: the robot could fool all of you and the audience, but it couldn’t fool him.

“This is getting interesting.”

Liu Xu showed a slight smile.

However, Mao Xuewang muttered, “The King of Singing concealed his abilities, but the Queen didn’t. The White Swan really brought the house down, so it’s going to be tough to follow.”

If not careful, it could all blow up in their faces.

Singers don’t need to talk much before performing.

On stage, Lin Yuan adjusted his breathing and nodded to the band members.

With countless cameras pointed at him, it was still a little uncomfortable.

However, with his clothing and mask covering his body, it wasn’t too much of a problem.

The music started playing softly.

The audience fell silent.

The judges stopped talking as well.

This was a sign of respect for the performer.

The sounds of flutes and harps echoed around the room, soon accompanied by the string violin and some synthesized sounds.

Lin Yuan lifted his microphone and began singing:

“As the dusk grows colder,

Flowers fall to the ground, turning into frost,

You watch from the distance,

Exhausting all dusk light,

Not thinking for it is too hard to forget…”

The audience’s eyes suddenly widened!

The four judges exchanged glances!

It was a female voice!

This was actually a female singer?

Based on the clothes, it seemed like a male singer!

But that wasn’t important.

Although it’s not uncommon for female singers to dress in male attire to demonstrate their heroism, which was a good idea, the voice possessed an ethereal quality and lacked masculinity.

The real surprise was…

This was a new song!

The audience, not as knowledgeable as the judges, couldn’t be certain if it was a new song. However, the four judges were convinced!

It was indeed a new song!

This female singer was quite interesting, daring to debut a new song on the first episode of “The Masked Singer”. And the melody was quite good, despite some slight flaws in her singing technique…

The judges looked surprised.

If it were only this, the judges would be just surprised and nothing more.

This singer’s skills were merely second-tier.

However, the quality of the new song would definitely score points for this singer, a real game-changer.

But…

At that moment, the second verse started, and it was still the Prince of Lanling singing, but the voice had thoroughly changed to that of a different person, a man:

“Young peach blossoms wither,

In a previous life, how could you leave,

This vast sea of heartache,

Pretending not to be hurt, not to long,

All of it is an illusion…”

A male voice!

Transitioning smoothly from a female to a male voice, as if a man and a woman were singing a duet on stage…

But there was clearly only one singer on stage!

The faces of the judges changed!

At the same time!

The audience below the stage revealed shocked expressions, and some even exclaimed:

“Oh my god!”

Wasn’t it a female?

How did the voice turn into a male’s?

Is the person male or female?

Lin Yuan’s voice was steady as he transitioned from female to male without any detectable falsetto!

This was Lin Yuan’s most unique weapon—

The male rabbit scurries, the female rabbit’s eyes are hazy,

Both rabbits running along the ground, how can one tell which is male or female!!

PS: You can search for the video of the Malaysian guy singing “Bracing the Chill” on Bilibili. He plays two roles. Just imagine a more enhanced version performed by Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan’s rendition is better since his female voice is real, and his singing skills are slightly superior o(*￣▽￣*)o
