Chapter 324: Shake It Up

Chapter 324

Guan Liangzhe first warmed up the atmosphere, then began drawing lots.

The audience couldn't wait for the auditory feast to begin!

In the first round, Wu Sisi was drawn.

Her performance was neither hot nor cold, and she was a little unstable.

The theme was loneliness. Wu Sisi chose a ballad, but she got distracted and zoned out while singing, not conveying the proper emotion for the ballad.

After getting off stage, the second person drawn was Wei Sha.

Wei Sha had been performing very well in recent episodes. She also sang a ballad, but conveyed much more emotion than Wu Sisi.

The third person on stage was Yang Rongjun, followed by several other singers who went on stage in succession.

Sitting in the audience, Jie Chou was getting a little impatient: “Hasn’t Nan XiangWan gone on yet? Don’t tell me she’s going last.”

Gu Beihuai said: “There’s some manipulation going on.”

Jie Chou: “Hmm?”

Gu Beihuai sneered coldly: “Yan Qin is a veteran senior; it’s normal for her to make some demands of the show. Putting Nan Xiangwan last means the voting period will be shortest. Plus the theme this round is loneliness and everyone’s singing ballads, so the audience can easily get auditory fatigue. Look, some people have even fallen asleep.”

Jie Chou was a little worried: “What should we do then? That’s so unfair!”

Gu Beihuai said: “Don’t worry, Nan Xiangwan didn’t choose a ballad.”

Jie Chou: “The theme is loneliness. Not choosing a ballad? Isn’t the point to make people cry?”

Gu Beihuai smiled: “She pulled a little trick that happened to work out well.”

At this time, it was already the last round of performances.

Guan Liangzhe: “Our last performer, no need to draw lots, everyone knows who it is. Let’s welcome—Nan Xiangwan!”

The lights dimmed and on the screen to the side, the song title appeared.

“Loneliness” - Deng Ziqi

After a brief moment of stillness, Nan Xiangwan walked onto the stage from the passageway.

Grasping the mic with one hand, a spotlight shone down on her.

The moment her styling was revealed, exclamations erupted from the audience!

“Wow—”

Monica is an international stylist, adept at bold, eye-catching looks.

Nan Xiangwan wore a cropped outfit, with wide-leg pants on bottom and a long-sleeved top that even had a stand collar.

Her limbs were all wrapped up, with not even her neck exposed, just a glimpse of fair belly showing. Her hairstyle was unclear because she wore a stylish beret.

Her earrings were dazzling large diamonds.

Her makeup was highly pigmented, making her facial features stand out starkly, yet without large blocks of color.

Just her face makeup took Monica two hours!

So Nan Xiangwan standing there had a tremendous sense of dimension, seeming to leap out from the screen.

Bullet comments—

: I almost fell asleep listening to the first seven songs. Finally got to see my darling Nan Xiangwan!

: Coming out last is a bit disadvantageous.

He had been pressured but had no way to resist.

Yet Nan Xiangwan still brought about a miracle!

The show continued on stage.

After several parts, it moved into the final stretch.

Standing in the center of the stage, Nan Xiangwan looked up and sang out the last segment.

[Turns out loneliness is wanting to cry yet not wanting attention]

[...]

[At this moment feeling lonely with countless others like you]

As the last syllable fell, she turned back gazing at the audience below.

Whoa—

Thunderous applause!

She had awakened them all.

The loneliness conveyed in this song was different than the others’. The rest sang of sorrowful loneliness. Nan Xiangwan sang of loneliness after repression bursting out.

The understanding shown towards the emotion was much more multifaceted.

This was what a diverse stage should be!

Backstage, Executive Producer Zhang Rui kept nodding. This was precisely what he’d hoped for when he gave the loneliness theme, wanting the singers to convey different understandings of the emotion.

Yet of so many people, only Nan Xiangwan gave a different answer!

Bullet comments—

: Here it comes! [Throws hat].gif

: Hahaha! Expression packs are essential!

: She finally woke me up. Voted and now going out to eat something, getting ready for an all-nighter!

: Hehe! Same here!

...

After Nan Xiangwan finished singing, half the livestream audience abruptly left.

Then it immediately went into the voting segment.

Nan Xiangwan had wanted to leave the stage to wait, but the host timely called for her.

Guan Liangzhe: "Nan Xiangwan, don't go yet. Wait for everyone to return to the stage."

So Nan Xiangwan could only keep standing there, while picking up the hat from the ground.

Guan Liangzhe: “Let’s chat a bit. This hat looks so nice!”

Nan Xiangwan: “Yeah, my stylist lent it to me. Seems pretty expensive.”

Guan Liangzhe was originally going to try it on, but hearing how pricey it was, he quickly retracted his hand. Seeing the brand name on the hat’s rim—dang, high class stuff!

Too rich for him!

At this time, the other singers also returned to the stage, walking out from the passage.

Guan Liangzhe turned into a social butterfly, flitting between the eight singers, chatting and joking around.

The host's skills were on full display engaging each one!
